NEW RELEASES FROM COMPTON, MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE & AZYMUTH

COMPTON – COMPTON’S SOUL

A sweetly soulful surprise from Andy Compton of The Rurals – a set that's even more profoundly steeped in deep soul atmosphere – with Compton collaborating with seductive female vocalists for one of the sultriest underground soul sets we've heard in a while! This is one of those records that you'd expect to good, given Andy's previous work – and it's actually a knockout! It's elegant and slow cooking, but, it's to hypnotic and intoxicating to call it laidback. The backdrop smoulders with keys, beats and bass with some jazzy soul flourishes. 9 of the 13 tracks are sung by Jaidene Veda, with some great spoken passages, too. Other vocalists include Diviniti, Kafele and Ladybird – and the singers write their own lyrics, given the album a nice collabortive vibe. Includes "And It Rains", "Bluenotes", "Believing", "Imagined", "Where Do We Go", "Record By Record", "Tomorrow", "Oh Love I", "7 Days", "Soon" and "No Limits". Source: Dusty Groove

MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE - RENEGADES

Mark De Clive-Lowe is back, and more brilliant than ever – working here on a set that's overflowing with superstar talent, and which cooks even more than some of his previous albums! All the grooves we've always loved from Mark are firmly in place – the wicked beats, cosmic rhythms, and spacious keyboards – but there's also a nice new focus too, one that brings in a lot deeper soul to most tunes – thanks in part to vocals from an array of guests who include Omar, Nia Andrews, Tawiah, Ovasoul7, Bembe Segue, Sheila E, and Sandra Nkake! The album's stuffed with tuneful numbers – more great singles than most other artists would hope for in a single album – and Mark still keeps things a bit cosmic at points too, with some great space jazz keyboards. Titles include "Get Started", "Under Orders", "The Why", "Everything", "Emergency", "Alabi", "Push", and "Hooligan". Source: Dusty Groove

AZYMUTH - MADDSLINKY & ZED BIAS REMIX 12"
 
The third remix single taken from Azymuth’s acclaimed 2011 studio album Aurora is Ta Nessa Ainda Bicho. Following monster mixes on 12” of Azymuth’s In My Treehouse (LTJ Xperience – JD19) and Meu Mengo (Mark E – JD 21) comes this highly limited heavyweight 12” from influential UK garage, break beat garage, broken beat and dubstep pioneer producer Zed Bias and the alias Maddslinky.
