JACK & JOINTZ: Beaming Jointly With Delight (Remixes)(2017)
New from the Fatherland’s ChinChin label is this drop from Jack & Jointz who must be beaming with delight at the idea of getting remixes of four tracks off last year’s debut LP – er – Beaming Jointly With Delight, three of which come from the likes of Diesler, Ursula 1000 and Club Des Belugas.

KOJAKE: Elefunk (2016)
Who loves ya baby? Well, if your name’s Kojake, you hail from Curitiba Brazil, specialise in slap-bassy, nu-disco business and are the man behind new label Nudiscool, the answer is all manner of remixers – among them Spiltmilk and Stephane Deschezeaux.

VARIOUS: Honkey Phonk 10 (2016)
Jayl Funk’s Honkey Phonk drops are now up to their tenth release and what better way to acknowledge number 10 than with a ten-tracker which finds Jayl Funk and cohorts Voodoocuts, Nic2Birilli and EuPe tear through seventies influences and samples like a band through groupies?

GOOD GROOVE presents: JAYL FUNK (GGD14)(2015)
Rating: The goodness just keeps coming doesn’t it? Here’s Jayl Funk with a characteristically party-style re-funk of numbers by Rufus Thomas, Ben E King and OV Wright plus one I just can’t place and I’m really going to kick myself when I find out, oh the shame of it. This set is precisely what a good set of edits should all be about. Two of the tracks in their original form
