5 essential stuff

• Tribe – Rebirth [Community Projects/Planet E]
  
  Wooaw woaw wooooaw. (What can I say ?)
• Deetron – Zircon/Orange [Music Man]
  
  I am a fan of everything Sam Geiser has done with Music Man, and I think this is the best thing he’s done to date. So simple but insistently brilliant.
• Jeff Mills – The Drummer [Purpose Maker]
  
  More Mills(art) loveliness.
• Trish Van Eynde – Subject Belgium [Subject Detroit]
  
  Fantastic funkiness, straight forward Subject Detroit music. Trish Van Eynde is on fire.
• Silent Servant/Santiago Salazar – La Noche/La Minoria [Historia y Violencia]
  
  Those 2 are as nice as always, I like what Historia y Violencia label is doing at the moment.

5 novelties (* all in promo status.)

• Jolka – The Jolka Experience [Sect] / Davor O. – Transitional Objects Remixes [Matrix]
  
  10/10 (The Jolka Experience). No need to say more… "Transitional Objects Remixes" is a simply awesome package of mixes. This is the best thing Matrix has done in a while.
• Traxx – Faith [Nation]
  
  Classic, great forward thinking house music. Jack your body !!
• (A guy from D) – (A track on A-Side) [(An UK label)]
  (I can’t tell you any details yet……) That D guy returns to an UK quality techno label with sweet, sweet techno stuff. This is what Detroit techno soul is all about.
• Rennie Foster – Songs For Homeless Housers [Greta Cottage Workshops]
  
  Foster goes house in his own fashion. ‘Butterfingers’ is a really amazing tune, just class production all the way.
• Mick Welch – Morphological Construct EP [Elektrosouls]
  
  Reminiscent of B12′s work, great melodic stabby winner on new Crawley-based label to definitely look out for.

5 oldies

• 69 – 4 Jazz Funk Classics [Planet E]
  
  The first record I ever bought – back when I was 14 years old. I must have listened to this stuff a thousand times back then. ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ sounded like nothing else I had heard before and I still love it. C² always makes my day.
• 69 – Lite Music [Planet E]
  
• 69 – Sound On Sound [Planet E]
  
• 69 – Pungtang [Planet E]
  
• The Detroit Experiment – The Detroit Experiment [Planet E]
