Modern groovy psychedelia that brings The Stone Roses, The Beta Band and Low era David Bowie to mind.

6 Piece from Portland, Oregon with a beautiful debut LP of magical understated songs that will lift your spirits and float your boat.

Charlotte Marionneau’s sedutive yet innocent vocals totally compliment the beautiful and fragile Kevin Shield’s song I Love The Living You.

A psychedelic sing a long about OCD in the village hall after a hard days graft on the allotment.

Like watching old Super 8 films to a dreamy soundtrack featuring Samantha Whates creating a fantastic 60’s sophisticated European vibe. Lovely.

Old skool electro with a pop vocal from Rosie Blair. Daniel Avery ventures into the dark side of classic Chicago acid house with his Divided Love Remix.

19 (23) SIMONE FEDI – BITTER DEVOTION – ESKIMO

Balearic flavoured disco pop Ft. Lola Rent (sounds a lot like Robyn) on sun kissed vocals. Ewan Pearson cooks up a simmering groover and Welcome Stranger concocts a Coco Loco punch.

 

20 (30) FOTO & CHICKEN LIPS FT. THE BOLTON TADCASTER – LOVE WILL BREAK HER – NANG

A Bowie-esque vocal works its way around chugging machine funk. Chicken Lips give it a good dose of acid house with their Warehouse Mixes.

 

21 (21) RADICAL MAJIK – MENTAL HEALTH – THE BOARDROOM PRESENTS

The Boardroom Collective have set up their own label and the debut release is 3 cuts of deep house, off kilter techno and mutant disco with all manner of influences & subtleties. Nice.

24 (27) POCKET FT. STEVE KILBY – HERE IN NOISEVILLE – TIRK

Richard Jankovich makes his debut on Tirk with a slightly melancholic synth pop number. Alien Skin and Peter Flowers take it on a wide eyed tour of the cosmos.

 

25 (28) BONNIE PRINCE BILLY – QUAIL & DUMPLINGS – DOMINO

A gently strummed down on your luck but full of hope lonesome country tail.

26 (19) CONNAN MOCKASIN – FAKING JAZZ TOGETHER – BECAUSE / PHANTASY

Tom Furse of The Horrors fame takes this to another level, cooking up percussive rhythms, a dub bassline, far out electronics and ghostly vocals. A bit like an early Andrew Weatherall mix

 

27 (29) MATT STAR & CANDY CSONKA – SOFTLY – ROOTS & WINGS

James Teej delivers a quality vocal and The Hector Remix comes over like a 1950’s teen idol lost in a techno world. Nice.
