    Here's a couple of thoughts on some things i've been buying lately for your
    perusal...
     
    Audio Rouge - Magical Moments (featuring Lorretta Heywood / Bougie
    Solitairre RMX) [Flip Side]
    Lush and thick like straight jazz but with broken house type beatz
    underneath. Lovely female vocals. Smooth.
     
    Anthony Nicholson - Miquifaye [Sonar Kollektiv]
    Voodoo Jazz Rapture is a dope jazz track carried by pounding piano melodies,
    lush atmospherics, rain and thunder. Underneath is this slamming cyclical
    broken beat made of congas and snare pops. Wow! The flip is more of the same
    but less jazzy and a bit more on the afrobeat side... same kind of odd
    beats.
     
    Theo Parrish - Expressive Angels [Sound Signature]
    Buildups, breakdowns and samples like a floormoving house track but.... it
    swells slowly into odd beats and weird layering of beautiful pianos as
    opposed to a big 4/4, shake your drunken hieny style climax. Extremely dj
    friendly and probably useful to sucker a resistant crowd into the more
    experimental side of things.
     
    Bugz in the Attic - Thinking of You / Waiting (Afronaught and Restless Soul
    RMXs) [BitaSweet]
    Waiting is a rocking 'house not house' track with thick bass and female
    vocals. In Dego's rotation. Don't sleep on the downtempo mix of this track,
    it's so deep and soulful. On the flip 'thinking of you' is more straight
    house.
     
    Other things in the bag lately:
     
    Seiji - Second Nature [BitaSweet]
    Seiji - Into the New [2000 Black]
    Joakim Lone Oktet remixes [Future Talk]
    Mustang - Give a Little Love [Main Squeeze]
    Grupo Batique - Between the Lines [Far Out]
    I:Cube - Adore (P'Taah remix)[Versitile]
    Likwid Biskit - Complete Worries [People]
     
    peace,
    aRgo
