So the show is back in full effect after a rare missed week due to work commitments and we kick off in fine style with a track from the Project Mooncircle 10th anniversary boxset, a nice slice of deep bassline action from Rain Dog, one of many great tunes celebrating this ever improving label and their dedication to unearthing fresh beat making talent. A 10th anniversary is a real milestone for a label in todays difficulty record selling climate and to have put out over a 100 releases in that time makes it even more so. Fink then kept the deep vibes flowing with an excellent Close remix of his ‘Perfect Darkness’ track from last year before Shlohmo kept the future soul vibes flowing with the excellent ‘Wen Uuu’ from his recent EP on FoF music.

We couldn’t resist dropping more Jeb Loy Nichols as his new album is about to drop on Decca. We’d already hit you with ‘Hard Times’ but this time the track has been given a little reggae remix courtesy of Curtis Lynch to take the tune back to it’s JA roots. Ruder dancehall bassline vibes then invaded the airwaves as Belleruche’s DJ Modest gave Hint’s ‘Crash and Burn’ a little dubstep refix. Lorca has been on our radar since last year and showed why by supplying a nice slice of swinging, jazz flavoured, funky house niceness before Micatone dropped the tempo and injected some country edged soul with their welcome return.

Now we’ve been on the case of Mancini and The Creepers since day one and I’m happy to report their debut album is about to drop. Now some people are going to say they sound a bit Ghostpoet like and we’re not going to dispute that but to be honest we’d heard them before Ghostpoet and to be honest we don’t care who was first as they both rock. Joash with a little help from Chocolate Garage then single handedly revived hip house with the killer ‘Mission’. Subsequent featuring Festa then rounded off a trio of leftfield hip hop gems in a German stylee, thanks to Nonine for that one. Mo Kolours then dropped a real slice of Mauritian flavoured beat madness as he is wont to do before Bullion, if he hadn’t already, cememented his stylistic versatility with ‘Say Arr Ee’ from his new R&S release before Maddslinky’s Azymuth rerub ended the show in fine Brazilian beats style.

So the whole original Chicago footwork scene, that blew up on the back of Planet Mu’s crusade, was a bit of disappointment musically but the dancing was out of this world. Now a whole heap of producers, with broader palettes, have jumped on board the wagon things are starting to get more interesting and the latest mutation is Dream Continuum’s fusion of footwork and 90′s drum and bass which is set to smash up the dance in 2012, check ‘Side Set It’ that opens the show and get your rave on. Around this time every year the J Dilla tributes to commemorate his passing start, thus prompted, I thought I’d give you his classic take on ‘Think Twice’ which led nicely into some Propaground action with Gusby’s deep soul groover, ‘Analogik Love Pt II’. Jeb Loy Nichols then provided some ‘Countrymusicdisco’ in fine blue eyed soulful style, look out for his new album dropping anytime now on Decca.

As mentioned recently the new Blundetto album is sounding great start to finish, so just to prove we’re not lying we thought we’d drop you another little taster, this time Ethio jazz style with the excellent Akale Horns in full effect. Afrobuddha with the aid of the Kakatsitsi Drummers then provided some hyper real Afro House Sounds before Dancing Turtle’s new signing Elpoep provided some deep hypnotic beats from their excellent new release. DVA then dropped the future soul from his new album on Hyperdub which funnily sounds largely like vintage broken beat with a slightly poorer choice of vocalists and obviously is none the worse for it.

Whilst I’m at easy comparisons the new Gang Colours album is sounding like a slightly less melancholic James Blake, you probably don’t need much more encouragement than that to check him out. There is a nice Slugabed EP floating about at the moment with some cheeky tunes on. It was a tossup which one to drop but we opted for the soulful strains of ‘Rockin U’ featuring the one and only Leon Ware. Deep Medi new boy Dark Tantrums then provided some deep, simple but atmospheric dub step flavours before NonGenetic & Cooptrol showed that dubstep is a perfect riddim for some lyrical expression, if only more beat producers thought that way. Uptempo beats then led the show to its conclusion with some great bassline action from Dark Sky and then Magic Wire’s, Neon Jung who really gave the sub woofers a good testing.
