Soggy out there isn’t it? And I’m off camping in it as well.
See you next week once I’ve dried out.
Beats House are a new-ish label to me, but have been banging out the classic hip-hop sound, with their James-Brown-flexin’ cut ‘Get Down’ and spin on Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons ‘Beggin’ recently having found their way into my 7″ box, and I have a feeling that label stalwart Djar’One’s remix of Ultimate Force’s Tuff (So Damn) might well join them there.
I looking forward to this turning up on 7″ – that spoken intro is going to be fun to scratch!

I Made A Deal With Myself dropped a while back, but Alexis Evans soul stormer has finally made it to a vinyl pressing. Be quick though, there were only 17 left when I last looked

Itaru’s Phone Booth is reminiscent of the Bill Evans Trio to begin with, all diminutive piano lines and melancholy before morphing into a more euphoric upbeat little number . Looking forward to hearing the whole album, A Love Requited, when it drops
