>
> g.k. deep - shots in a second ep (people); another quality modern funk
> release from those excellent people @ people. live drums, percs, brass &
> strings in 3 colorful tracks.
>
> nathan haines - sound travels (chilli funk); chillifunk usually releases
> jazzy house eps, but this is a standout dancefloorjazz gem from nathan
> haines & phil asher. as good as programmed jazzy music can get...it really
> cant get better than this.
>
> calm ft spiritual african nova - the shadow of the earth (exceptional);
> spiritual, afro-flavoured, lazy, slow-pacing, deep house ala ron
> trent/jephte guillaume/joe claussell, but seen from a more 'ethnic' point
of
> view. jazzy & funky elements are present throughout. nice classic-guitar
> solos featured.
>
> various - tribes vol 6/soul searching (infracom); this 6th member of the
> renowned german series takes a turn towards 'nu-soul' & soulful newschool
> breaks.
>
> various - batucada vol 2/batucada por favor (mr bong); not your average
> brazilian comp; but then, which mr bongo release could be called average?
> this is a killer selection of 60s & 70s batucadas from european artists.
> just listen to the last monster track, a 20-min dancefloor killer from
> german underground bongo group 'niagara'...
>
> various - synthesis/a techno-jazz synthesized journey (x:treme); this
one's
> from back 1998 but i got it only recently. mixed by kirk de georgio (aka
'as
> one'), it starts like a minimal tech-house set (moodyman, common factor,
> waiwan), but progressivelly dives into abstract/electrojazz territories,
> with tracks by as one himself (btw, if you can find his 'in with their
arps
> and moogs...' lp on clear, buy it with no second thoughts), sun ra, herbie
> hancock, and a nice 'dewolfe' library tune called sunken ship. if you like
> stuff by ian o'brien, classsen collective, scuba etc you'll dig this.
