Trip Hop/Big Beat

It's been another mad night down at the Bar Social. The music's finished, the bar's closed but we're not ready for bed just yet, oh no. Let's all head back to your swanky new pad and party on into The Early Hours. We want to hear something a bit different. Not a chill out album with all the usual suspects boring us to tears. A few choice oldies, a bit of soul and funk along with some cutting edge bits from today's finest purveyors of the nu groove. Sure we want our senses soothed as we head towards the dawn but we still want to be asked a few questions and taken in a few unexpected directions. On the cutting edge we have German nu-jazz from the Compost 100 camp in the form of the mighty Koop and the title track to their stunning album Waltz For Koop. The UK's underground is well... Less

THE BUDDHA LOUNGE A PLACE WHERE EAST MEETS WEST IN PERFECT UNITY AGAINST A BACKDROP OF BLISSED BEATS, DEEP GROOVES AND EASTERN MYSTICISM.

Although David Holmes's Bow Down to the Exit Sign is intended to be the soundtrack of an as-yet-to-be-made film, the closest stylistic cousin in the Holmes canon is not the work he did for the film Out of Sight, nor is it his sweepingly cinematic debut or the New York City-on-acid travelogue that was his big commercial breakthrough. The most seemingly obvious predecessor is actually the U.K. release Essential Mix 98/01. The spirit of Holmes's super-eclectic DJ work (a world in which Brigitte Bardot, Plaid, Rare Earth, and Skylab all happily cohabitate) is here again on his latest outing, along with the additional element of more than a few outstanding vocal performances. Bobby Gillespie lends his hip sneer to the punky-fuzzy Sick City and Slip Your Skin. Jon Spencer unleashes his... Less

As another slab of exceedingly danceable, electro-laden funk, the Lo Fidelity Allstars' Don't Be Afraid of Love makes for addictive listening, whether you've already learned How to Operate with a Blown Mind or not. The moody opening track, What You Want, certainly gets the party started, but it does little to set the tone for the rest of the album. Clashing guitars give way to Lisa Millet's emotive vocal on the Balearic Lo-Fi's in Ibiza and from there on in, it's hooky samples, pure Vocoder soul, and familiar, frenetic acoustics all the way. On the heels of their On the Floor at the Boutique compilation, this release will leave you feeling anything but low. --Ruby Tuesday

'Come Get It I Got It' is only David Holmes' second ever mix album, following on from 1998's much loved 'Essential Mix'. The album manages an infectious blend of uptown euphoria and downtown hysteria. By and large this is mined from an extremely rich vein
