1.FERTILE GROUND - Yellow Dasies - Nicola Conte Conte Rework -Counterpoint

The king of nu bossa supremo Sir Nicola comes through again. This time, he goes head to head with one of the worlds best live bands Fertile Ground and takes it in a direction with refinement, taste and class that only our beloved Bari brother can do. Well done Sir, well done ! .

2.GROOVEMAN SPOT-The Grooveman Spot EP -White

One of my favourite hip producers next to DJ Mitsu The Beats is this fella. This naughty but nice jazzy hipity hop 12 in a limited pressing has jazzy beats under some hip hop commoner. (listen ... it'll all make sense ! ) .

3.TABLEEK - Worrsse Way - Jazzysport

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

4.AMERIE - One Thing - Columbia

Is it a boot ? Is it official ? There are not one one but two different 12s out there... One as an album sampler and the other as a 12'' with vocal and instrumental versions. Whatever it is, there’s one thing (ha ! ) you can be sure of and that's this is the hottest piece of wax to be blessed on a turntable this year. If this melts on the decks then you'll understand. Without a shadow of a doubt... ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. Watch as this crosses over to all kinds of dancefloors. Kisses to KB for showing respekt ! Piccadilly got the 4 tracker ! .

5.YUKIHIRO FUKUTOMI -Love Is Always To Blame - File

Presumably soon come on Pantone but we get sooooo impatient. The wonderful Ernesto (don’t forget to check his 'Devil Gotta Run ' EP on Exceptional in April goes head to head with one of Japan’s finest producers with a great track on file recordings. .

6.SUPASTITION-Remember -Subcontact

It’s not to everyone’s taste, but what you get is Mr Supa gowin’ on about the hardships of putting out hip hop records on his own. Nice flow and beats. Check it on show # 41. .

7.MARTIN BREW - Ups N Downs - Oriental Source

Masayuki Todo goes head to head with Manchester boy Martin bBew with a beat ridden mellow hipity hop vibe mash up. We like ! Fat City got copies ! Tell em I sent ya ! .

8.TY TRIBBETT - Mighty Long Way - White

Another dubious sourced 12’’ at another obscenely large price (why is that ? ) but people, listen up ! You need this. Gospel hip hop ! Personification of audible largeness indeeeeed. .

9.LOS HERMANOS LATINOS - Puerto Rico Remix -1hr Records

Mysterious Latin dancer that I think might have some South Coast cuddly boy connection. Whoever and whatever it is the Puerto Rico remix is a summer smash ! .

10.AFROPSYCHOPATHZ - Angel-Sunshine - Austria

Possibly one of the most consistent labels out of Austria drops 'Angel' with a mix from Frankie valentine as his Cherubim remix. Seek ! .

11.REEL PEOPLE - Second Guess - Papa

The Da Lata mix on this 12'' is awesome.killer production - nuff peeps are glad that this baby is finally out.trust me !!! .

12.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. .

13.DJ GRINCH - Nightingale /Cubano Chant - Escapism

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

14.CALM re presents KEY FREE - Sunshower EP - Music Conception

Simply beautiful lush deepness from our favourite Kumamoto born producer. .

15.MOTORCITY SOUL -Written In The Stars –INFRACom !

Great vocal and at jazz remix production. Saucy stuff. .

16.MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD - Midnight Birds - Sa Ra Mix - Blue Note

Darlings of the scene Sa Ra drop a really great mix on this Blue Note band. Worth checking out. .

17.AIRBUS -Corean Chick -Beams Japan

Decent version of Corean Chick (the old Peter Herbolzheimer track from Tokyo based outfit Airbus (remember the killer ’Brasil Nights’ 12’’ they did ?)..

18.PLANTLIFE - When She Smiles - 4Hero Mix - Gut

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

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

Orange vinyl deep loveliness with a special Sacred Rhythm Mix. .

20.V/A : Break N Bossa More Into It - Chapter 7 - Schema

There are few as consistent labels as Luciano's italian Schema label. Consistently putting out the bomb dadda tunes (and always with great sleeves) and this by all means is no exception... A new artist to me in the shape of Koom. h hits us with a gorgeous slab of mid tempo keyboard driven funk. On the flip Tom Wienland goes jazzzzz with his version of The Dining Rooms 'No Problems'. Seek. .

21.CASBAH 73 - The Way I Am - Hi Top

Raw ‘Daddy’ Deal Mix on the flip. Check out the full Casbah 73 album out soon... Definetly worthy of your ears listening pleasure. .

22.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. .

23.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. .

24.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.... .

25.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. .

26.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 ! .

27.BIG HORNS BEE - Why Can’t 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 ! .

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

It’s 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. .

29.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. .

30.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).
