1.SUNAGA T - Versiliana Samba - Flower

This is the bomb.jazz gem yes siree.numero uno.a mighty fine 5 corners mix on the flip but its all about the original for me.

Great USA indie hip hop from a member of Maspyke.....but damm.....What is that sample ?

4Hero once again deliver the goods.great band and song.... Nice Interference mix too !

6.YUKIHIRO FUKUTOMI - Hooked/Peace - Pantone

There's a great 12'' on Japanese label File called 'Equality' featuring the dolcet tones of Rich Medina but this UK 12'' features the wonderful Lady Alma and is taken from one helleva album.

7.LOUIE VEGA Featuring BLAZE & PAUL MIDON - Sunshine – Vega Records

Orange vinyl deep loveliness with a special Sacred Rhythm Mix.

Those Crown City boys come through some some lovely jazz hipity hop.

10.DJ GRINCH - Nightingale /Cubano Chant - Escapism

Promo only naughtyness that works so well.....We like ! As played by Kevin 'Upfront ' Beadle on Solar Radio !

11.LOOP SESSION - Shadows Of The Sun - Loop Sounds

Bluey from Incognito lends a hand with young Mr Fukutomi lending his production skills with a fine broken instrumental track .

12.PLATE FORK KNIFE SPOON - Wonder - Widehive

we love this label...often a tad left of centre and always worth checking...this ep features members of crown city rockers and mc raashan ahmed.

13.ALICE RUSSELL - Hurry On Now - Tru Thoughts

Caught up with will Quantic & Alice in Tokyo two weeks ago which was nice.....Alice has in my mind one of the best voices in the UK at the moment....from Kushti to Bah Samba, Unforscene to Quantic Soul Orchestra material and her solo stuff. Many years now we've been hooked. Go and see this lady live.amazing.

14.JUKKA ESKOLA - 1974 - Ricky Tick

What happened in 1974 ? Was it a good year for jazz ? Who knows the secret...But you can be sure that this will be another great year for Ricky Tick....

15.HEARIN AID - Let It Ought/Not 2 B - Jugglin

One of the dirtiest and funkiest hipity hop tracks to drop in the last 12 months. Fierce music that had the Jazzy Sport guys giving me the 'wasssssattt ?'interogation scenario.not 2 b is a modern soulful gem.

16.UNFORSCENE featuring ALICE RUSSELL – Don't You Worry - Wah Wah 45

When is a 45 a 12" ? hmm....When its a 12'' on Wah Wah 45 label. Domu mix on the 12....The original mix is lush vocal brilliance. Alice....We love you !

17.BIG HORNS BEE - Why Cant We Be Friends ? - Victor

If like me you were buggin about the soil & pimp 12 that I was raving about then you'll do backflips when you see this baby has not one...Not two...But three killer peak time ruff n ready jazz covers. Nuttville sounds baaaaaaaaaaad !

18.NIAMAJ - The Vibe - Plug

Respects to Jean-Claude who gave this as a belated wedding present rather than a box of chocs ! Nice one geezer ! Top notch jazzy hipity hop with a little help from my main man Kero One.

19.FAT FREDDY DROP - Flashback/Midnight Marauders - white

Its a US pressing but not sure what label it will be...Fat freddy's drop due for big big things in 2005 and with vocals like this who can deny them success ? Live version of Midnight Marauders on the flip.

20.SOLAR APPLE QUARTETTE - Do You Love Me - Further Out

How good is Break Reform mix ! The lovely Richard E gets re touched by Simon S & crew and not an embarrased face in the house. Great strings and arrangement. Hear it on this weeks Forwardsbackwards show which has just gone up.

21.A BOSSA ELECTRICA - Skindo Le Le/Quem Vai Devolver Meu Dia - Raw Fusion

Double header !!! Sweden's S.U.M.O. vs Me Old Fruit in Melbourne....Mr Ennio styles. Label of the year ?

22.GAGLE-Rap DX – Warner-Japan

DJ Mitsu The Beats on the instrumentals and he just keeps dropping the dopest jazzy samples & hip hop beats.everything the man touches is gold in my opinion and it's tuff keeping up with all those sneaky releases... Dope sleeve again from die (one of the Jazzy Sport artists )

23.VISIONEERS - Runnin/Rollin For The Ride - Omniverse 7''

Rockin version of the Pharcyde classic. It's a beautiful thing. Apparently orders for 3000 and only a few hundred pressed.go go go !

24.EVIL ED featuring YUNGUN - Nico Suave - Janomi

Steer clear of the dodgey lyrics and head straight for the rockin latino instrumental party beats with whistles,fat stabs and rockin bass.
Love it gringo !

25.HERBEST MOON - Blow Your Body - Deep Space Mix - Lifeline Deepness from François K going head to head wiv me old mate Bostino from Hokaido.

26.RICHARD E - Sometimes I - Further Out 7''

Everybody should own this record.big love to Rich & Bev… Nicest couple in nu jazz go hipity hop. You need this 45 people.

27.REBIRTH - Evil Vibrations - Ubiquity

How large is this 12 ? In the box.killer version.

28.PASCAL RIOX featuring MISTER DAY - Don't Outstay Outside 2Night - Rotax

Great label so you should check out the pass releases here… It's all about the two Patchwork mixes. Deepest and lushest soul with an organic bass so warm that it doubles as a 2 bar gass fire. Nice evergreen remix on a funky . More nu soul tip for a completely different floor but no less rewarding.

29.POVO - East On West - Raw Fusion

Peak time play bossa bizness that should stay in the box for months and months... And if that wasn't enough there's a Moonstarr mix on the flip ?!!!! Double sided nu jazz beat driven heaven. Yesireeeeeeeee !! Dope 12.dope sleeve.

30.VARIOUS - The Sound Of Club Brasil - Ltd Edition Vinyl Sampler - Club Brasil

This should be in the shops any day now as some Herbert gathers some decent Brasilian cover versions of 4 classics taken from 4 different albums. Finn Peters version of Aldeia De Ogum picking up most of the attention but there's a great version of Casa Forte from the lovely Guida De Palma and More! clubbrasil.com
