Soul-Cat - Bar Talk, DJ Punch and Flip Entairtainment feat. RescuePeotixTM and B.O.P. - The Baby Powder Traxx E.P Vol.2 (Cyberjamz)
Cyberjamz started out as a radio show, then it became a website, a party, and a label in 2007. Today Cyberjamz released one hundred plus releases. These are two I like from the first month of 2013.
Submantra and DJ Umbi - Give It To Me (Soul Deeparture)
Fourth release for this 2012 founded label. Give it to Me is presented in four versions On the Rhodes mix for me.
Washmerman - Be What You Wanna Be EP (Nite Grooves)
Old school Chandler inspired deep six different tracks plus an extra dub version of the title track extended player.
DJ Greg and Hozay feat. Lisa Moore - Give Me (Quantize Recordings)
Like the Spen, Thommy and Hozay Piano mix. Basements Boys old school sound!
Michael Whitehead - Under My Spell The Remixes (Danse Club Records)
The Meat Mixx reminds of the Murk early days in 1992/3.
K Hand - Funky Tonight EP (Third Ear Recordings)
Four different tracks extended player, all deep with a dance floor orientation.
Monocles and Slezz with Andy Compton feat. Tantra Zawadi and Dana Byrd - Only Love (Foliage Records)
I have a soft spot for Dana Byrd! Five versions to choose one of which by Gene King.
Eric Kupper - Acid Placid (The Acid Tapes Part.1) (Hysteria)
Acid Placid is a trip in sounds which I like. Think of this as future orientated acid by one of the most respected key players in the world.
Theo Parrish - The Twin Cities EP (Robsoul)
What a big release for Robsoul. Two amazing and long tunes by master Theo Parrish.
Antonio Ocasio - Charm (Tribal Winds)
Always a fan of Antonio and the spiritual deep sounds his label brings. Keep it up please!
Delano Smith - Precipice EP (Mixmode Recordings)
Three deep Detroit house tracks. I choose two of three.
Scherbe - Jardin Du Midi EP (Uncanny Valley)
Another nice release from Uncanny Valley. Scherbe brings up a varied underground deep four different track player. My preferred is Endlezz Cinema.
Native Funk - When You Heard House (Divuldge)
To turn the title to a question? When I did back in the eighties it changed my ear sense life.
Ari Frank - Refurbished Love (Legotek Records)
Good House songs are rare so when one is out, I surely grab it. That is the case for the soulful inspired The Further You Look.
Siggatunez - Plan R (Houseworx)
Three different tracks plus a remix of the title track. Original mix of Plan R and Clockwork are both hot stuff.
Alex Danilov - Can Speak Slow EP (Rawax)
Alex is very Parrish inspired in this excellent different four track extended player.
Glenn Underground - July 12 1979 (Strictky Jaz Unit Muzik)
The title of this album is the date of the destruction that was the Chicago Disco Demolition. It was an end and a start which brought to the reincarnation of the genre as we know it today. Eleven jazz inspired tracks some of which a tribute to disco.

Released on vinyl in 2011 this is Nicholson second Circular Motion album which finally gets a digital issue. Twelve tracks with six of them having different artists vocal collaborations. African rhythms with Nicholson taking more sides with his soul inspired sounds.
