Kicking off this week with the title track from the interesting new Laroca album, they are still not the finished item but are bursting with ideas and heading most definitely in the right direction. This was closely followed by another track from the excellent new Quantic album which is, without doubt his finest work to-date, let's hope he stays in Colombia it's doing his music no end of good. Little brother of J.Dilla, Illa J gets his new single, laughably called a remix, but in fact completely re-invented by Carlos Nino and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, although the original is a solid slice of nu-soul. BlackJoy comes correct with his take on Cosmic Disco using the quirky French vocals of Sandra Nkake, a future Balearic classic if there is any justice.

Stevie J comes up with a post broken/Dilla hybrid for 2009 proving sometimes less is more for the ever interesting Eglo Records and Phreek Plus One drop a slice of classic instrumental disco, loving those spacey keys. Pepe Bradock rips apart the mellow vocals of Zero 7 whilst retaining the soul and upping the tempo to deliver a broken house goodie and I finally drop an AtJazz track from his album and can only apologise for the delay in doing so. I am glad to report that my favourite Afro house don, Issa Bagayogo, had just got the remix treatment for several of his recent album tracks and here I present the epic and rather good Soft Rocks remix of Filaw.

Rob Tex comes up with one of the party hip hop tunes of the summer if there is any justice with his jazzy and cheeky rework of Method Man and Redman, bootlegs are rarely so good. Ouch - check the new Reso releases, essential for anyone with an interest in bass bin destroying interesting new direction in dubstep, an artist to watch for sure. In a perfect example of art responding to life comes Inja's (and in fact most of the UK's urban youths) response to the CCTV proliferation in the UK, just "wear your hat LOW, hat LOW, hat LOW", BIG tune for the summer. Mark Pritchard, always one to watch has just created a twisted dubstep monster with a little help from Om'mas Keith from Sa-Ra, who seems to be cropping up everywhere at the moment, a mad, twisted, quirky, fun floorfiller, I like it loads. Pearson Sound, a little side project of prolific and ever reliable Ramadanman, closes the show and again is a dubstep mutation this time showcasing a deeper, melodic approach to the genre and is a suitably cosmic dub ending to this weeks show.
