artist - title - label  
 
 
1.Only Child -Solitaire - Grand Central -2 x12 UK LP
Awesome album from Manchester's finest.Amp fiddler,Veba,Kathy Brown,Niko & 
Kriminal all lending a helping hand to make this one of 2003's best long 
players.Highly Recommended.
 
2.Da Lata - Serious - Palm Pictures uk 12''
Sounded enourmous in Copenhagen.Pure dancefloor pleasure ! Only 100 pressed of 
this one sided 12 .It precedes the new Da Lata album due in september i think 
and more mixes to come on a full 12.
 
3.Context -if i had a band -Sonny B - Denmark 7''
Awesome soulful outing with a bassline to knock out all the competition.Smiles 
everywhere when you drop this .
 
4.Browntempo -Querida Vida/Homage -Rhythm & Culture - USA 12''
Respects to Michael Reinboth who first introduced me to this 12 which i 
believe has something to do with Thievery Corporation (??)P Brooks & D 
Williams go in for some great latin shuffling for some well produced gems.
 
5.Choonz Inc & Marvin Gaye Project featuring Bobby Depasois - Music Feel the 
Soul -Madhatter - 12''
Presumably booty pressure with the longest group name of the month with some 
super duper soul drenched lovelyness which uses the original vocal oh so 
well.....
 
6.Reel People -Second Guess - Papa 2x 12'' uk lp
Simply said this is a complete album from start to finish.Perhaps a contender 
for album of the year and won last weeks ''money well spent award''.You really 
need this.
 
7.Fenomenon -Lucy Said -Hi Fi Terapi - Norway 12''
Dunno who lucy is or what she said but this is dreamy stuff with a 
characteristic vocal and a landslide mix on da flip.
 
8.John Arnold -Get Yourself Together/I can Be -Ubiquity cd - USA
lovely bit of rhodes.lovely amp fiddler guesting.nuff said.
 
9.zion i - flow -rpv records - usa 12''
Not much info to go on with this.Cheers to cp for selling me his personal 
copy.Some say its hip hop.We say its jazzzzzz.
 
10.DJ Mitsu The Beats -New Awakening -Planet Groove album & 12'' -Japan
The DJ from Gagle comes through with his full player and our lives are herein 
enriched.'Right here'featuring Dwele is awesome but theres also tracks 
featuring Mark De Clive Lowe,Rich Medina(classic! ),Little Brother,Lady Alma 
(alma horton) etc.Fine debut and those beats are PHAT.The 6 track 12 features 
the lady Alma track plus the jazzy  'm.o.o.d for otis' 
and 'jazzorgy'tracks.the 12 sold out in 7 days !!
lovely stuff that im buggin out to.Top Effort !!
 
11.steppah hunter-walk this step-seiji black forest gateau mix - compost 
records - Germany 12''
tuff biznizz and what a great title.Its hardly desert tho...this is main meal 
fodder !
 
12.Ursula Rucker -Release/Untitled flow -! k7 - german 12''
ursula goes jazzy.....nice instrumentals too !
 
13.one hundred strong -sword lies broken- warsaw ghetto mix -altered vibes-uk 
12''
jazzed hip hop with flute and saxophone that sounds delightful.
 
14.patricia marx -submerso -marc mac mix -nova vida - uk 12''
brazilian vocalist meets dollis hill.
 
15.soul unit -get dat -soul unit - usa 12''
salsa hipity hop.good solid label.
 
16.modeler -island life -dubsided uk 12''
young david knocks out another slab of wax with violin chords and sax solo's 
with a boogie bassline.
 
17.latin project - lei lo lai -electric monkey - usa 12
dont know if the original track ever made it to vinyl as ive had to play it 
from cd from the last few months but you should definetly check it 
out.,meanwhile some fellas called masters at work (ever heard of them ?)go the 
housie ish route to bring it up to date.i still love the original but this is 
nevertheless very good.
 
18.ty -groovement -bid dadda uk 12''
bembe segue on vocals for jazzy dancefloor persuasion but check the other 
side....ha ha indeed.stonking stuff.rockin !
 
19.chaka domu & buju volcov -soul jah -Bestseven/sonar Kollektiv - German 7''
Top piece of plastic as jamaican reggae dancehall meets future broken beat 
science on daniel best's label.Apparently Francios Kevorkian loves it.
 
20.Terry Hall - They gotta quit kicking my dog around -Honest Jon uk 10''
Lets face it they run a wicked record shop that's been around since i was in 
short trousers,James Lavelle used to work there and they do a damn decent 
selection of jazz/reggae/hip hop/broken/deep house at some of the cheapest 
prices in london.Anyway this is a one sided 10'' with a latin cuban party 
throwdown.Instant classic stamp all over it.Apparently this is fronted by the 
ex member of the specials & fun boy three but maybe them boys are pulling my 
leg !?? Sounds like a stonking Fruitmeat release but er....isnt ! 
 
21.John Beltran - Kissed by the sun -Ubiquity - usa 12''
Newie from John with a 4 tracker featuring ayro on the title track.Summer 
latino vibes are here !
 
22.Dimitri From Paris -Live Jazz/This is your life-Suave Records - Japan 12''
Taken from the cruising attitude album this first 12 is a 3 tracker with a mix 
from soulsauce ultilising the dolcet tones of victor davies on the this is 
your life track.
 
23.Bobby Hughes Combination -Microneseren-stereo deluxe - german 12''
nice artwork on this new 12 from norways finest.im down with the jazzy 
pressure drop mix but theres an excellent original mix and even a cuica 
electro version.in the box it stays !
 
24.trevor whatever -havana -ninja uk 12''
taken from the new danceclass single trevor hits cuba's capital with a rump 
shakin party pleaser.love it.
 
25.Truby Trio - A festa / Jaleo -Compost 12'' Germany
3 tracker from daddy truby & da boys.Two remixes from Cuica which is my 
favorite but also a subdued much hyped Senor Coconut remix.Summery stuff !
 
26.Incognito - on the road - danny krivit re edit - Ibadan 12'' - usa 
Its a dope mix that's been around since middle of last year and it finally 
gets a press on a 12 with same track both sides.Essential stuff and richard 
dorfmeister started his set with this record last saturdayin vienna.
 
27.Mika Nakashima - Love Addiction -Yukihiro Fukutomi remix -Sony Japan 12''
Luckily for us foreigners there are nice jazz based instrumentals on this 12 
from the gorgeous Mika Nakashima.Shinchi Osawa (who incidently has just 
released his new Mondo Grosso album,'Next Wave' in Japan aswell)produces the 
original with Ryota Nozaki (mr jazztronik to you)who has arranged the strings 
from chieko kinbara.Fukutomi toughens it up for the dancefloor but retains the 
main essence of the track....
 
28.nigel hayes -movin on -sunshine - austria 12''
consistantly wonderful mr hayes comes through with a summer scorcher that's 
juicier than an armful of ripe nectarines.latin & rhodes with added female 
vocals with blacksoul & fred everything mixes make this essential.
 
29.Colorblind -Novo Dia -Plein Gaz - French 12''
Those lovely boys from Lyon in France...DJ Spider and Jun Matsuoka deliver a 
tasty 12'' on their own label with a spanish mix from Wagon Cookin.
 
30.Calm - sketch on banana paper - Rambling - Japan 12''
Calm goes for the dancing juggular vibe and comes with a nice electronic vibe 
on a beautiful deep houser.Chari Chari mix on da flipside and both tracks 
taken from the banana connection cd album from last year.Should feature on my 
next Japanese compilation for american label Kristal Entertainment aswell 
later this year.

Nidge,Michael,Break Reform crew,DJ Blackbelt  & Speedy Servini to show some 
supportive love.Friday we trundled off to Brighton to spin for the anniversary 
of the Jazz Rooms and it was a stormer right to the very end.Best Friday ive 
had down there in ages.Wikked ! Sunday night we were at the Jazz Cafe as Tokyo 
Ska Paradise Orchestra from Tokyo were in town for their last date on the 
european tour.Japanese kids were going crazy for the 10 members suited and 
booted on stage and their last album sold over 200,00 copies ! From there we 
went Plastic People to catch Pole with Fat Jon (hold tight for an instrumental 
album from jon on a certain uk label)which was great albeit a little loud for 
my ears (am i getting old ? )Soma & Fenetik boys in the house & Aphex Twin 
too !
