Oliver Night – Between The Lines [Tru Thoughts Recordings]
Broken beat, or bruk became an underground phenomenon in the late nineties through the early 2000s. By 2007 it drifted into the shadows without receiving the shine it deserved. Fast forward to the present, it’s clear that broken beat is back. DJ/Producer/Vocalist Oliver Night is one of the voices leading the resurgence. Night has released a number of singles on the premier broken beat label CoOp in recent years. “Between The Lines”, his debut on Tru Thoughts, is poised to expose him and the genre to a wider audience. The album spits fire right out the box with “Undefeated”. West London producer Goldbar lays down ear popping beats along with Phoebe who co-wrote the tune with Night. DJ/Producer Megatronic lends her vocals to two tracks here, “It’s Alright” and “We Are Love”. Both tunes bring the heat. “Friends” is a marvellous Afro-house tune with euphoric chords and the honey vocals of Kaya Fyah. “The City” finds Trumpeter Jay Phelps melodic phrasings aligned with breezy vocal harmonies. This album bangs from beginning to end and you’ll find it difficult not to dance. In addition, there’s an instrumental version for each track listed here. What pushes this album over the top is that it’s more than just a string of heavy beats. Night has pushed the boundaries of his compositions in multiple directions. A sure fire winner.

Soulparlor – Day By Day [Atjazz Record Company]
Frank Jensen and Tobias Muller aka Soulparlor have been crafting infectious dance tracks and soul recordings for well over a decade. The Mainz based duo have worked with an array of underground musicians from Erik Rico, Rogiers and many more. The disc kicks off with “Pull Me Close” where vocalist Leona Berlin’s sultry vocals are layered over a mellow piano melody. UK bruk don Colonel Red takes the baton and follows suit with the mid-tempo burner “Day By Day”. “Splentay 4 Ya” is a broken beat banger filled with spacey synths and the funky vocals of Amalia. From their earlier recordings to this one, Soulparlor have proven to have the magic touch. Their soulful electronic recordings are always on fire and this release is no exception.
