Matthew K DJ Chart 20th Febuary 2002
1. Plej: Sampler CD 2000 (CDr)
These guys are going to be massive. Following the release of their mega rare
debut 12" (does anyone actually own a copy) they follow it up with a taster
of their future releases. These guys need to be signed.
2. Victor Davies: Sound Of The Samba - Remixes (JCR)
Masters at Work do the remix treatment of this already classic track.
Similar in style to their cover of 'The Ghetto' with George Benson, this
shows them at the peak of their production skills. Truly delightful.
3. Block 16: Morning Sun Remixed (Nuphonic)
The original Block 16 album was arguably the finest long player in
Nuphonic's catalogue and this remix album is full of gems. From Dubtribe
taking on the Bim Sherman track to Attica Blues highly underrated Charlie
Dark reworking the Jon Lucien track, this is very exciting.
4. Stevie Wonder / D'Angelo: In My Mind / Da Joint (Bootleg)
More smooth house reworkings on cheeky bootlegs. Stevie Wonder sounds as
though he is the vocalist on a Mr Fingers track while D'Angelo moves into
jazzy house territories. Superb.
5. 4 Hero: Hold It Down Remixes (Talkin Loud)
West London remixes of the mighty 4 Hero and every one is a gem. With Kaida
Tatham and Bugz in the Attic both on remix duties and a whole slice of vinyl
with Osunlade reworkings, this is nothing short of sublime.
6. Rhythm & Sound: We Been Traddin (Burial Mix)
Those Germans have the reggae flowing through their blood. You know what to
expect and you are never let down - perfect.
7. Victer Duplaix: Sensuality (K7)
Following on from the blinding DJ Kicks compilation here is yet more
evidence of Victer's stunning future music.
8. Zero 7: Truth and Rights (Another Late Night)
A lovely exclusive from their forthcoming Another Late Night compilation.
I'm sure they played this on their recent tour and it is as good, if not
better, than anything off their album.
9. Aqua Bassino: Baby C' Mon (F Com)
Go straight for the Ron Trent mix which reinterprets the amazing album track
into a Body and Soul style anthem.
10. Su Paka Pooh: Sunny Side Garden (Disorient)
Following on from their amazing cover of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, here
we have a full length album from these amazing Japanese producers.
11. Klaus Doldinger: Passport Remix 12" (Warners)
Promo only 4 track vinyl with some amazing re-interpretations of this old
jazz artist. Really going for the Rainer Truby mix but with the likes of
Fauna Flash and Marsmobil also here, this is a must have.
12. The Shiba Experiment: Hanadokei EP (Bambola)
Fantastic future jazz house from Japan. With 3 excellent tracks on offer,
the forthcoming compilation on Bambola should be something special.
13. Telefuzz: Sleep (Upstairs Recordings)
Hailing from Canada, this is one of the most exciting labels around. 3
tracks of synth led chilled grooves from Telefuzz and a bonus track from Ed
Swankz, this will surprise many by its sheer beauty. For those who haven't
heard - check out the 2 awesome 'Deepdown Tempos' compilations from this
label.
14. Femi Kuti: Do Your Best - Remixes (Barclay)
With a special guest appearance from Mos Def and Faze Action on remix
duties, this is the best afro beat release in a long time. Very tasty double
pack.
15. Nu Spirit Helsinki: Album Promo (CDr)
Only 100 in circulation and forthcoming on Guidance, this is already going
to be one of the years best albums and we are only in January. Watch out for
it.
16. Koop: Waltz For Koop (JCR)
Long awaited and finally released, this is a truly sublime album that sets
the pace for 2002. Hopefuly this album will cross over like Zero 7 has, as
it has the potential to be BIG.
17. Funky Lowlives: Remixes (Stereo Deluxe)
While the original came out on G Stone, these 2 amazing dubby remixes from
Boozoo Bajou and Richard Dorfmeister are commissioned to Stereo Deluxe for
their best release in a long time.
18. Susumu Yokota: Sound Of Sky (Exceptional)
The most prolific man in electronic music continues with yet another quality
album. This time its jazzy house grooves with some goreous melodies and
wicked beats.
19. Aril Brikha: Departure In Time (Transmat)
After a decade long break Transmat are back with a full length album. This
is real deep techno with those subtle jazz influences that the likes of Carl
Craig and Derrick May first touched upon.
20. Cornelius: Drop (Matador)
Featuring the mighty Herbert on remix duties, here he gives it the more
abstract treatment. Also features a lovely acoustic Kings of Convenience mix
on the flip.
21. Vikter Duplaix: DJ Kicks (K7)
By far and away the best DJ Kicks mix Cd yet. On this vinyl version you get
a stunning collection of future grooves, mostly rare and unrelesead. This is
a must have LP.
22. Llorca: Indigo Blue - Remix (F Com)
Faze Action give us yet another sublime slice of afro style percussive
grooves that funks up the jazzy stylings of Llorca into a dancefloor killer.
23. Mr Hermano: Free As the Morning Sun - Remix (Disorient)
The now legendary 'Free As The Morning Sun' gets a house reworking from
Scumfrog, but its the more chilled tracks on the flip that are getting the
most use for me.
24. Dimension 5: Alien Artform (Delsin)
Yet more stunning electronica from the mighty Delsin label.
25. Fenomenon: Visjon Nord EP (Nuphonic)
One of Nuphonic's brightest hopes give us their second EP after a long wait.
Its worth it though with a varied selection ranging from the jazzy downtempo
grooves, bossa beats and a remix from Compost's Butti 49.
26. Dub War: Murderous Style / Generation (Tempa)
Thanks to Dave at In Spirit for helping me track this label down. Stunning
dubby 2 step that erupts on a loud system. Tempa is the label to watch for
2002, along with the fab Horsepower productions and Ghost crew. This demands
to be heard.
27. Horsepower Productions: Electro Bass (Turn U On)
More dubby 2 step buisness from Nico's new label. This is some of the best
music being made today. Highly recommended.
28. Art Konik: Finger - UFO Mix (Comet)
Straight to the UFO mix for yet more evidence of their mastery at music.
Keeping to a house tempo, this will be a favourite for a while.
29. Aqua Bassino: Beat's N Bobs (F Com)
The longest wait for a second album since the Stone Roses is over and its
been worth the wait. Here Edinburgh's finest moves on from his highly
individual style to include some jaw dropping vocal tracks. What an album.
30. Custom Blue: EP 1 (Blue)
Mark Pritchard takes on production duties of this indie / electronica band
to give us a taster from what should be a great album.
31. Jazzanova: That Night / Days To Come (JCR)
Long awaited, this is very special indeed. Much more dancefloor than I was
expecting and with Victer Duplaix on vocals, this shows how far ahead of the
game these Germans are. Can't wait for the album.
32. India Irie / Eric Sermon: Bootleg 12" (White)
With a Naked style house mix of Irie's sublime 'Brown Skin' and an
instrumental mix (except the Marvin Gaye vocal sample) of Eric Sermon's
'Music', this will be in the box for a while.
33. Fug: Thin Air (Nuphonic)
A perfect meeting of minds with the delightful At Jazz reworking the
gorgeous Fug. Chilled to the max, this will appeal to all the old soul boys.
34. Frankie Valentine: Below The Radar (Sunshine Enterprises)
One of the forgotten heroes of the nu-house sound of the mid 90's hits back
with a highly musical long player from the excellent Sunshine Enterprises
label.
35. Subway: Subway Tracks EP (Nuphonic)
Very Idjut Boys sounding, with some of the best house music around. 4 tracks
full of funky rhythms and big basslines.
