Great album from Joseph Malik. If you imagine Amp Fiddler with the funk toned down and some downtempo feeling added to the mix then you'll be digging this. This is moody and magnificent music- very expressive. Malik comes from a DJ background but here the focus is on real songs and real music played by real people.

An absolutely amazing debut CD on the Big Dada label from Diplo that is both beautiful and ecstatic. It is a cross between trip-hop and abstract hip-hop and the range of clever sampling is simply breath-taking.

This excellent compilation CD comes from Switchstance Recordings who are a highly respected network of German DJs, musicians and producers. It is a fine collection of tunes ranging from mellow downtempo to nu-jazz to dope beats.

Soulful and atmospheric, this is a fantastic debut album from TM Juke. Mainly downtempo with strong trip-hop and hip-hop influences, the album features guest appearances from Alice Russell and Canadian MC's Bread and Water.

A wonderful debut album from the Polish outfit Skalpel. True to their Polish jazz roots Skalpel deliver a melodic, dreamy electro-jazz masterpiece. If you like Cinematic Orchestra you will feel this.
