    1.perry hemus -rhodesmode-woodland uk 12''
    finally on vinyl....3 mixes.all good.nice sleeve.go buy ! lp due in january 2004
     
    2.red astaire -the get down/b boy/rollin stone -G.A.M.M - sweden 12''
    lets face it the last record is still enourmous and is still selling in its thousands.....this is the new one and has erykah badu's accapella involved in a new lick.
     
    3.johnny darkos -supreme love -G.A.M.M -sweden 12''
    the mysterious johnny darkos (who i only found out the true identity last week! )comes thru with a mad track using 'love supreme'to full effect.rocks the floor.more skipping on the flipside than PE practice and your local secondary school....RULE NUMBER 1.Always check the TP'S PROPERLY !!!!
     
    4.Sebi -coming through ep -G.A.A.M -sweden 12''
    hipity hop bootleg biz with q tip....beatnuts & jeru getting the re rub
     
    5.Speech defect -i wanna do my thing -G.A.A.M -sweden 12''
    ive been playing this track from the instrumental album and now it gets a full release of sweden's finest with breaks seminar on the flip.tasty stuff designed for dancers.
     
    6.da lata -change/petroplois -palm/quality -especial distribution -japan
    new tracks from da lata which should see commercial release around end of january.if u managed to catch the band at jazz cafe last week you'll no doubt still be buzzin.....i know i am....
     
    7.jazztronik -dance with me dub/samurai -especial distribution-japan
    this drops end of january and has the delighful half american half japanese aya chan singing a brand new track 'dance with me'.the dub actually works best for me.its also got a track called samurai which has ryota nozaki doing a spot of broken beat shananigans-this aint west london....its west tokyo !
     
    8.insomniac olympics -ninja -usa 12''
    fancy picture disc from ninja with a barrage of tracks with downtempo moods,piano lines coupled with strings n beats....we like this alot.
     
    9.joakim/lionel hampton -vibramatic -crippled dick hot wax -germany 12''
    yes i know..lionel !!!...but its baaaaaad.....and more importantly...it works.killer.
     
    10.whistle bump -strings of life -whistlebump -uk 12''
    why on earth a uk 12'' single would be 8.99 is anybodys guess but one assumes that its down to shop greed rather than inflation.it doesnt make sense...but what the heck....i saw the 12'' and it saw me and i humbly obeyed its orders of ''buy me !''....''buy me ! ''.still its a big tune with a stringtastic jazzy keyed rendition given the re edit by danny krivit (and its official too ! )
     
    11.gerardo frisina -hi note - schema - italy 2x 12'' lp
    with luigi bonafede on piano...emanuele cisi on tenor sax.....andrea dulbecco on vibes.....enzo lo greco on bass.....and marco brioschi on trumpet this is jazzzzz baby....make no mistake about that.'Inviolatin' is awesome.
     
    12.cirque du soleil -tapis rouge vol 2 -cirque du soleil musique -french 12 ?
    second 12.(the last one has a killer mix by llorca on it)all fairly mid tempo lushness but very nice all the same.
     
    13.mini groove orchestra -are you minigrooved-follow me -french 12''
    i love these sleeves that are made out to look like some long lost dusty 12.....first four tracks can be dismissed but the glop glop mix is mid tempo girlie vocal assisted,fat bass ,rhodes ,strings and almost hip hop tempo sweetness.check it.....
     
    12.nas -heaven feat jully -white uk 12''
    another thing doesnt make sense is the bootleggers keep churning out 12's left right & centre.this 12 is a truely beautiful re work and comes from the same camp as yam who ? but why the usa pricetag of 6.99 ?theres no royalties....no publishing.....no artwork sleeve.....no artist investment....its pressed in uk for gods sake ! maybe i shouldnt complain....afterall...whilst im prepared to pay inflated prices then its only going to happen in the future too....but....u knowhatimean ?????????what say you ?
     
    13.only child featuring veba -find a way -yam who remix-grand central uk 12''
    Yam who?= real deal.lovely lovely lovey and ''official'' which makes a nice change....
     
    14.DJ Mitsu the Beats - Ep 2 - Planet Groove 12'' -Japan 12''
    Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ! The one we've been waiting for.''Right Here'' featuring Dwele is simply a piece enchanting music from the killer album from Sendai Producer Mitsu and his ''Awakenings'' album.Theres a collaboration with members of Little brother and a wicked track called ''Rendevous'' featuring Mark de Clive Lowe on the flipside.Essential.
     
    15.various - big bang blow -victor - japan 12''
    respects to pg for the tip off as this tokyo ska paradise orchestra selected 12'' of japanese jazz from da past showcases a full album of rarities presumably from a cd album to come.
     
    16.Da Lata - Serious - Palm Beats -uk 12'' & lp
    Dancefloor devestation personified as West London remixer Paul Seiji goes head to head with Da Lata for already one of the biggest tunes on the dancefloor.Awesome original mixes plus instrumentals on both with sub bass added on Seji's mix for the hips n headz and great drums.Seiji's mix of Steppah Hunter is fantastic but this mix is baaaaaad.lp in the shops now....
     
    17.mokadi -chica da ici -perfect toy - german - 12''
    scat tastic from a great label.check it.....not sure about the cover version but the a side is great.
     
    18.tudo bem - sing sing - uk 7''
    brazilian sweetness via manchester
     
    19.riviera -never stay long- philter -japan 12''
    electric sheep (shuya okino/hajime yoshizawa)deliver a fine remix thats worth checking.
     
    20.Koop -Alternative takes ep - Compost - German 12''
    Never let you go' by Carmen Lundy is one of the all time jazz vocal classics.....Yukimi Nagano is one of the most spine tingling
    female vocalists around today.Here Koop's live version recorded live at Motion Blue in Yokohama has Yukimi delivering spine tingling listening pleasures that'll make you think some one has off loaded half a dozen ice cubes down the neck of your shirt.Hird...Two banks of four & a mix by mikael nordgren mixes on the 12 aswell but when you hear 'Never let you go' the first time....you'll be re winding the rest of the week.
     
    21.Bakura-veya,veya- /thinking about -  - Especial cd. Japan
    Next installment from Osaka label Especial that i think i'll get into the shops on vinyl 12'' around the end of next month.Cida de Assis teams up with Domu & Marin to deliver a future brazilian classic whilst 'thinking about' which has already been played by Gilles n' Patrick on da radio has a melody that will uplift your spirit and fill your dancefloor with booty swaying singing girls !!
     
    22.Don carlos-take me higher featuring michelle weeks  -irma unlimited - usa 12''
    Yukihiro Fukutomi on the remix.oH MY GOD ! uplifting anthem that has the strongest of men going weak at the knees & previewed on the radio show a few weeks ago .You neeeed this.......U dig ?!?
     
    23.50hz-seek know moore -loop -newzealand 12''
    xantone (search for the sun)blaque on the mix.not sure about the rap but the groove is great.
     
     
    24.headtop -sweet power - uk 12'' white
    remember mad shit ?this is the same crew with a 4/4 version of a james mason classic that does the do.
     
    25.various -family planning vol 2 -mainsqueeze uk 12''
    4 tracker.....peven everett (you lot seen him live yet ?)goes for a re rub on gabriel pt2 and theres tracks from da one away....likwid biscuit & a great track from quango feat lain.
     
    26.didier sound system -composition *6 -Timmion - Finland 7''
    Great little 7'' from Didier.Tall man with long hair & da beats.mid tempo afro shanigans on a funky slab of wax.300 pressed.super limited.respects to da jussi & sampsa for the tip off.
    27.d.o.i -audible ep 2 -revirth - japan 12''
    its deep.stick with it....big on the bass notes and then trickling keys & rhodes gently nudge you into submission.At the half way stage you're hooked and then there's no looking back before the rhodes solo teases you and you're sold till its close.we love love love this.subtle ness is in !
     
    28.Penny Drop -ma futura featuring Hilton Smith -
    unmistakeable sound of Roots Manuva masquerading with Hilton Smith personna with this low slung low end bass bumpin,rump shakin,hip swaying groove over the soul drenched soulfulness of  ma futura.
     
    28.passion dance orchestra -worlds theme 2 -needs -german 12''
    everyone 'needs' some needs in their world.these are the remixes of the club favorite coming out november 10th.
     
    29.various - required listening volume 1 & 2 - do right - canada 12'''s
    2 great singles from John Kong's Do Right label.More styles presented over two slabs of vinyl than London Fashion week but its all good as John brings us previously unheard gems from Toronto.From hip hop to house to soul and all points in between John delivers the ''something for everyone'' strategy and comes out smelling of cherry pie.My particular favourites are Pedras da rua with Terra DoBravo & Ivana Santilli with 'what matters' but theres 7 tracks laid over 2 12's so go seek !
     
    30.....malik alson -higher -third ear
    we diggin the keys
