Double header from Jazz Room Records with two superb jazzy versions of Club Classics by Japan's Cruisic:Side A is the legendary Brazilian Club Jazz track by Azymuth given a cosmic keyboard revitalisation.

Watch the dancefloor fill from the first jazzbeat!The singles are now changing hands for 3 figures (if you can find one!), now put together on one fantastic release.

The third release from Canopy features the title track from a tough to catch Afro funk 7” originally released on private press in Benin in the 1980s. While information on the mesmerizing Tomede Ehue remains elusive, she is backed by the Beninois powerhouse, the truly almighty, “TP Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou”.Electrifying cosmic voodoo disco grooves, heavy bass pulsing, blistering horns and spooky organ riffs set the tone on this transcendental dance floor afro funk cut. A modernized tropical disco remix from bosq & an Afro - acid version from Sam Redmore revitalize this mysterious dance floor incantation and launch it into the present day.These tracks strike a balance between moody afro psych-funk and more punchy electronic aesthetics, while maintaining the subtleties of the original composition and performance.

After the re-release of the classic 'Nu Romantix' album, Ed DMX aka DMX Krew returns to Permanent Vacation with his new album "Party Life". This time the long-haired UK legend is taking a step back from his trademark Electro and Techno sound and putting on his romancing suit. Ed is crooning over 80's styled Boogie, Disco and Funk tracks in a way only he can do it and that will either make you jump for joy or cruising down the coastal promenade. "Party Life" is another example why Ed is a master of all crafts in the ever expanding DMX Krew universe.
