RE:lax (re:lax | re:wind | re:think) Bob Holroyd
RE:lax (re:lax | re:wind | re:think)
(Long Tale Recordings)
A veteran of what he calls ambient, global fusion, and chillout music, Bob Holroyd is releasing a series of remixes of his earlier work and some of other artists, with a few originals. "re:lax | re:wind | re:think", the last in a series of three stylized "best of" albums that revisit music from his first four albums, largely uses songs from his 2007 release "Hollow Man". ... read more

3 Cities In Dub
(Six Degrees)
"3 Cities In Dub" carries on the welcome tradition of albums remixing great albums. In this case, we're remixing Bombay Dub Orchestra's second album, "3 Cities." Available from Six Degrees Records, this EP is packed with variations. If "plain old" Bombay Dub Orchestra is too orchestral for you, or if you just want to crank it up a notch, you'll like these mixes. ... read more
Satellite City Noiseshaper
Satellite City
(Cat N Roof Records)
Satellite City is a quality representation of how Dub has infiltrated every major (and minor) facet of modern music. Soul, tech-house, hip hop, reggae, moody downtempo and blues are all represented in a special guest-infused affair with top-notch production, which lends a clarity that could easily have been lost in the reverb of dub. ... read more
Two Planets The Magic Fly
Two Planets
(Bastard Jazz Recordings)
In the world of dirty, dubby, disco sounds, you can't ask for more than The Magic Fly's "Two Planets". You'll find three versions of the song, which includes an instrumental. The original version is high grade insanity. This is just one of those heavy, heavy grooves that will never fail to burn up a dancefloor. And if you're not a DJ...who cares, this song will burn up your living room too. ... read more
Aguilas And Cobras Brownout
Aguilas And Cobras
(Six Degrees)
Brownout is their name and hot, sweaty Latino funk is their game. Seriously, this is good stuff. This album might be stonking 15 tracks long, but Brownout don't drop the ball at any time. The grooves just keep on coming, and coming, and coming! But then this eight-piece funk outfit from Austin, Texas, is the offshoot of another powerhouse outfit Grupo Fantasma. ... read more
Project Ahimsa Presents Global Lingo Various (Project Ahimsa)
Project Ahimsa Presents Global Lingo
(Project Ahimsa)
Benefit albums are generally praised in the press because, even if the music is not that good, they mean well. Until proven otherwise, a good review is one of the most flawless ways for mere enjoyment to convert into proceeds. But Project Ahimsa is different because it's better. Not only does it have good music to speak for a good cause, it also engages the children in need in the whole process. And that is noble and fair. ... read more
Manoeuvres 3 - A Collection of BC Electronica Various (So Called Recordings)
Manoeuvres 3 - A Collection of BC Electronica
(So Called Recordings)
Manoeuvres 3 is a collection of electronica from British Columbia. Put together by So Called Recordings, it collects an "eclectic roster" of musicians. A surprising sampling from largely unheard-of bands, this volume of the Manoeuvres series leans toward the mellow side of electronica, with ambient tracks and downtempo vibes. ... read more
