The sizzling opener “Acaraje do Salmao” erupts with fiery percussion and Middle Eastern rhythms. “Nigeria 1984” is Afrobeat grooves meets Belearic textures. The genre bending grooves will transport you to a Summertime party on the beach. Afrobeat star Dele Sosimi jumps on the title track, a simmering mid-tempo tune. The sunny vibes flow throughout this album. Lay your burdens down and let these feel good compositions sink into your body.

Soyuz – Krok [Mr Bongo Records]
“Krok”, is the fourth alum from the Belarus collective Soyuz. “Krok”, which means “step” in Belarusian carries a lot of meaning throughout the album. The band is now based in Warsaw due to political unrest back home. The uncertainty of their new life became the inspiration for this record. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Alex Chumak has crafted a deeply meditative album that explores dreamy atmospheres. Limited by resources to record in Warsaw, the band recorded the first session of the album in Sao Paulo at the studio of prominent Brazilian musician Sessa. “Lingua Do Mundo” features Brazilian vocalist/guitarist Tim Bernados. Bernados showcases his lush vocals and swaying guitar melodies. Add to that the stirring strings and you have a blissful tune you will get lost in. “P7 Blues” is a mid-tempo mellow tune driven by warm keys and vocal harmonies. “Krok” blurs the lines of genres. In addition to the Brazilian rhythms are sketches of Jazz, folk and Eastern European textures. Chumak is joined by Mikita Arlou along with Polish musicians Albert Karch on drums and guitarist Igor Wisniewski. Chumak’s string arrangements will tug on your heartstrings. Despite their challenges the band has amassed an array of emotive compositions that offer hope for brighter days ahead. Simply put this is a marvelous record that shouldn’t be missed.

Jazzanova – In Between (Remixes) [Sonar Kollektiv]
“In Between”, the groundbreaking release from Jazzanova is the gift that keeps on giving. The latest tribute takes the baton from the live instrumentation rework released earlier this year. This time a new generation of producers take their turn to breathe new life into these timeless recordings. UK duo Jacana People kicks off the album with an atmospheric take on “Another New Day”. They transform the track into an infectious dance floor heater. Three different producers take a stab at “No Use” featuring Clara Hill. Each one is solid but the one produced by Crackazat will certainly become a dance floor favorite. “Keep Falling” featuring Ursula Rucker receives a futuristic makeover courtesy of Berlin producer Magro. There’s nothing quite like the original. That being said, the producers on hand overall have done proper work to these treasured gems.

Balimaya Project meets Discos Pacifico All-Stars – Calima [Jazz re:freshed]
Calima is a natural phenomenon when sand from the Sahara Desert travels across the Atlantic Ocean, bringing nutrients that help fertilize the tropical rainforests of Latin America and the Caribbean. It serves as the perfect title for this record. “Calima”, the latest project from Balimaya Project is an encounter between the aforementioned Balimaya and the Colombian band Discos Pacifico All Stars. Together they explore the African Diaspora by fusing West African Jazz and Afro Colombian rhythms. Fifteen musicians connecting the dots from the Atlantic to the Pacific. “A Life Worth Living” brims with warmth. A mellow mid tempo groove lays the groundwork for heart pounding percussion, heavenly horns and a melodic guitar. Add to that the strong vocal harmonies lead by Edwin Ivan Jimenez Tenorio among others. “I Wish I Knew” echoes the sound of Afro-Colombian. It has a simmering intro due a haunting piano, percussion and Marimba. The sound of these worlds colliding is magical. A marvelous collaboration worthy of repeated listens.

Land of Echo – Almost Music [Wah Wah 45s]
Land of Echo is the brainchild of DJ/Producer Rob Mac. Mac is a long time figure in the UK underground club culture. He ran the legendary Scratch hip-hop nights in the nineties as well as releasing under aliases such as Speeka, Explore and Jumbonics. With “Almost Music” he delivers a nine track LP filled with infectious soulful boogie tunes certain to put you in a party frame of mind. Mac has enlisted a pair of premier vocalists to elevate these tracks. Kathy Diamond lends her soaring vocals to a number of tracks here. The opener “What We Want” is high energy boogie soul goodness. “Don’t Talk Just Dance” is a mid tempo burner. “Dream With Me” featuring Ayanna Homma is filled with synth wizardry and packs plenty of bounce. Credit the synth arrangements to violinist Lucy Wilkins. Mac has hit the mark with deep boogie funk grooves, hypnotic rhythms and high energy production. Get ready to groove tonight.
