Man Recordings impresario Daniel Haaksman drops his debut album on the label, merging Brazilian baile funk with an international blend of club music styles, from Afro-Baltimore ('Sum Sum') to Balkan ghetto house ('Dubcheck'). 'Rambazamba' is energetic, transcultural, and a lot of fun.

'Nearly Naked' compiles two previous volumes of Jahcoozi remix EPs (incl. Ramadanman, Ikonika, Milanese, and more) alongside brand-new takes by Tayo, LV, Mr. Statik, and Deadbeat. Berlin barefoot meets London bass, with the previously unreleased track 'Rumours' thrown in for good measure. Recommended.

Parisian beat-smith Débruit lets another EP loose on London's Civil Music, this time strongly influenced by Turkish music and instruments, he fuses his synth-funk broken beat style brilliantly with these exotic flavours. Successfully oozing Eastern mystique with extremely danceable results.
