Global SoulJah & BBE Records Radio Show -March 25, 2011

Disco Love is back!! Volume 2 of the great compilation from Al Kent and BBE is about to drop and it's possibly even better than the first one and that's saying something, not to mention the outstanding disco inspired artwork - essential compilation. This was followed by a deep Fatima and Floating Points taster from their forthcoming EP on Eglo, if that was the B-side, I can't wait for the main cut. Fresh global beats were then the order of the day courtesy of Easy and The Centre Of The Universe and the excellent worldly new Debruit compilation on Civil Music.

The Beat Generation series from BBE is getting a timely re-issue and just to remind you of why I slapped on Jay Dee's 'Pause' and next week I'll give a killer Will.I.Am cut from the good old days before he went more pop than Elton John. DJ Vadim has got a new project called The Electric, the album is finally here and my favourite cut is the afrocentric leaning 'Toot Toot'. There's a wonderfully wide ranging comp out called After The Void featuring obscure multi genre cuts of music you never knew existed and I'm particuarly loving 'Funky Dromedary' along with most of the other tracks.

40 Winks is the latest producer to drop on an album on Project Moon Circle and it's a worthy successor to the great Long Arm LP, the label has come up trumps again. Mar then came through with the vocal jazz flavour from one of his reworks being put out on MPM, beats courtesy of Louis Bordeaux before the sweet vocal vibes continued with a cut from the excellent Nostalgia 77 album on Tru Thoughts. The show then wound up with some uptempo beats kicking off with the jazz flavoured techno of Nicolas Jaar from his new EP, the fresh beats of Falty DL from his excellent new album on Planet Mu before Altered Natives ripped up the dance with a cut from the Danny Native's super fresh new compilation on his own Eye4Eye label.
