www.wahwah45s.com

max cole – “wallflowerin'” [wah wah 45s] - lead track from the debut lp, 'star charts', out next spring...awkward soul at its finest.

natural self – “the love theme” [breakin' bread] - nathaniel self takes on that love theme from 'spartacus' and comes up with a little cracker. 

rameses revolution – “in control” [flora & fauna] - amazing afro soul out of stockholm.

hundred strong feat. alison crockett – “dream on delay” (break reform remix) [altered vibes] - killer down low remix from the reformers, featuring one of the most sublime vocalists around.

amerie – “one thing” (i am that remix) [white] - a long overdue jazz reworking of this year's big hitter that knocks spots of the others. 

linkwood – “what's up with the underground?” [firecracker] - brilliant scottish jazz/house shuffler from this top notch imprint.

stevie wonder – “blackman” (kay suzuki re-edit) [cd-r] - a fractured disco/soul rejig of this stevie number.

jason todd – “space invader” [foundation] - the def harmonic star knocks out a piece of future electro/funk for the feet.

richard e – “hear me now” [further out] - mr. e goes all afro and turns up the temperature with some scratched up vocals and weird synths.

sleepwalker – “river of love / eclipse” [especial] - beautiful jazzed up re-workings  feat. bembe segue on vocals.

the jinks are dan savidge and chris gau - described by critics as 'an exquisite paradigm', the jinks' first single, 'love like this' was a veritable tour de force of post modern deconstructivism.

the follow up, 'inamorata' (available now in all good record shops) looks set to break new ground for the salacious pair, as it comprises a haunting blend of intrinsic subpatriarchialism and mythopoetical totality. of course, their fans would expect nothing less...
