V.A. – Brownswood Bubblers Four – Compiled by Gilles Peterson (2009)

01. Mayer Hawthorne – Maybe So Maybe No 02. Souleance – Manana 03. yU – Fine 04. El Michels Affair – Shimmy Shimmy Ya 05. Lisa Papineau – Rene Thomas 06. The Misled Children And Odean Pope – Dadadun 07. Kafka – The Kafka Anthem 08. Oumou Sangare – Iyo Djeli 09. Jam Da Silva – Dia Santo 10. Keaver And Brause – Awake 11. Soundspecies – Can We Call It Love (With Ahu) 12. New Look – Everything 13. Floating Points – Peroration V Ft. Fatima 14. Lone – Sea Spray Gilles Peterson’s annual round-up of up-and-coming or unfairly overlooked artists drops neat and tidy this week with a fourteen track selection of future soul, downbeat hiphop and mellow world grooves. Opening duties are given to Stones Throw phenomenon Mayer Hawthorn, the one man retro-soul mission with a stunning sound on ‘Maybe So, Maybe So’ uncannily recalling classic Curtis Mayfield. Souleance’s ‘Mańana’ ticks the bass-heavy post Dilla bracket with ease, while El Michels Affair roll out the coolin’ ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’. Lisa Papineau’s all too brief ‘Rene Thomas’ is an odd delight somewhere between Bat For Lashes and Goblin, while Mali’s Oumou Sangare takes the tracklist to Africa. We’d have to recommend checking Keaver & Brause’s ace nugget ‘Awake’, but the best is saved for last with Floating Points scaling astral heights on the exclusive ‘Peroration’ feat. Fatima and Lone provides one of the many highlights from last years ‘Lemurian’ LP with the psychedelic compressions of ‘Sea Spray’. Lovingly selected and beautifully presented, get in… Link

Skeewiff – Private Funktion (2006)

1. Smash & Grab 2. Love Power 3. Triumph Stag 4. Man of Constant Sorrow 5. Giggity (Allright) 6. Little Spot of Soul 7. Lost Due to Incompetence 8. Light the Fuse 9. Wet Your Beak 10. Ruby’s Revenge 11. Matador 12. Husky 13. Soul Bossanova UK based DJ, musicians and production duo Al and El whose cheeky humour and dancefloor production skills create a unique sound. Essentially an electronic breakbeat act, they include elements of jazz and particularly lounge music into their style. They also draw on other styles such as big band and indian. The result is a contemporary, often instrumental music that is much used by Games, Film and TV producers (FIFA, Adidas etc) and consequently many Skeewiff tracks will be subliminally familiar to a wide audience…They have also collaborated with 60’s legends like Hammond organist Alan Hawkshaw and remixed many similar acts like Lemon or Ursula 1000. Mixing big beat, jive, eastern and jazz, this album is very cosmopolitan with a wicked sense of humour. It opens with glorious cinematic strings and swinging jive rhythms (Smash and Grab), which later meet with swaggering guitar riffs (Giggity), rolling basslines (Light the Fuse, Man of Constant Sorrow), twinkling keys (Triumph Stag) and smoking grooves (Husky). Skeewiff regulars Steve Murray and Peter Martin shine on vocals and bass, as does singer Charlise Rookwood who is ever so gloriously strong (Love Power), and Alan ‘The Hawk’ Hawkshaw is at his always best on keyboards.

Burial – Burial (2006)

1. Distant Lights 2. Spaceape – Burial, Spaceape 3. Wounder 4. Night Bus 5. Southern Comfort 6. U Hurt Me 7. Gutted 8. Forgive 9. Broken Home 10.Prayer 11.Pirates Burial, aka Will Bevan, is a dubstep musician from South London, England. His eponymous debut album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim. The Wire magazine named it their album of the year and it came fifth in the Mixmag 2006 Album of the Year list.On Friday, September 28th 2007, a message on the Hyperdub website announced a new Burial album, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”. Burial’s best trump card: The handful of tracks with sampled vocals stand well above their brethren, possessing an almost manipulative quality of quivering emotional directness. Far from speaking of final resting places, the overriding vibe is one of homelessness and rootlessness, and the nagging feeling that something important has been mislaid. Thematically and sonically, the closest reference point is Tricky’s eerie, foreboding “Broken Homes” (ironically, Burial’s own “Broken Home” is perhaps the album’s most upbeat moment, sampling a winsome reggae crooner); I’m also reminded of the black eyeliner melodrama of parts of DJ Shadow’s The Private Press. Some may scoff at such middlebrow reference points, but it’s these resemblances, rather than any fidelity to inner-London dance music, which makes Burial’s music such a viable crossover candidate.

V.A. – In The Mind Of Nitin Sawhney (2007)

1. Be Your Own – One Self 2. Brown Sugar – D’Angelo 3. Biscuits – Fink 4. Fragile Wind – Sawhney, Nitin 5. Teardrop – Massive Attack 6. Mustt Mustt – Khan, Nusrat Fateh Ali 7. Run – Air 8.

I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun – NuYorican Soul 12. Waltz For Koop – Koop 13. Songbird – Sawhney, Nitin 14. Blowin’ In The Wind – Dylan, Bob Nitin Sawhney’s got plenty of space between his ears for all sorts of wonderful music — as you might guess by the far-reaching sound of his own work! Here, he’s brought together a blend of older and newer titles in a rich tapestry of sound — a surprising array of cuts that run from contemporary downtempo back to older club, soul, and Latin — all somehow bearing the stamp of Sawhney, however disparate their genres. Nitin Sawhney’s unique global sound has undoubtedly influenced a generation of British Asian musicians, but it’s rare to hear which artists have impressed the man himself. New label, District 6, addresses this matter by choosing the multitalented composer/performer as the first in a line of well-known artists, bands or producers to create an album in a series of compilations called In The Mind Of. In The Mind Of…Nitin Sawhney is a fascinating blend of 14 tracks personally chosen by Nitin, which have inspired his personal and professional life over the years. Taken from funky, cutting edge releases from the genres and sub-genres of jazz, dance, world and soul, the likes of Massive Attack, D’Angelo and Air feature here. Link

Yello – Touch Yello (2009)

01. The Expert 02. You Better Hide 03. Out Of Dawn 04. Bostich (Reflected) 05. Till Tomorrow 06. Tangier Blue 07. Part Love 08. Friday Smile 09. Kiss In Blue 10. Vertical Vision 11. Trackless Deep 12. Stay 13. Electric Frame 14. Takla Makan Yello are without doubt one of the most influential bands in the wide and open context of electronic music. From their earliest incarnation as slick Swiss guys with a strange back story making very odd disco, their music has permeated everything from comedy films to contemporary art installations. And of course: nightclubs. But the rhythm of Yello’s music is just one side to their cube. Sonics, emotion, and visual elements are all equally important, something more than demonstrated on new concept album Touch Yello. From the moment the Riviera blues of “You Better Hide” floats out of the speakers, everything is in place for an homage to past glories. However, Yello are one of those bands that maintain their own sound by always being different. We have Dieter Meier’s half spoken lyrics tumbling out over the top of piano flourishes and electronic sax squiggles on “The Expert”, which is held together by monstrously deep, very contemporary bass notes. “Part Love” exists somewhere in between soulful boogie and country guitar licks, and is the kind of song that only an act like Yello can pull off. Coming at the end of a decade that has seen the group focusing on myriad projects, of which music was only one, the cinematic Touch Yello is still Yello in every sense of the word. Guest vocalist Heidi Happy weaves her voice through the panpipes and electronic moaning on “Takla Makan”, but the quality of the samples and arrangements stop this album from ever becoming a pastiche.
