Dadaman, with his innate Afro-funkiness and vision, squeezes every ounce out of his gear to turn up the bounce, swing and party potential to eleven

his warm, affable, velvety vocals delivering a nice line in lyrically ambiguous yet compelling vocals. But just wait for the K&D Sessions era downtempo dub riddim which eases this track past the stiff singer songwriter competition

the first single, "Voyager Sans Bouger" has got me dusting off my espadrilles and linen threads ready for some poolside shuffling and sunset gazing. Summer is on its way.

Whether it’s her original compositions or tributes to less heralded greats, Glass just digs that bit deeper and twists those familiar sounds that bit more

Mycelial bioluminescence takes just what’s needed from real world instruments and distributes the micro-samples where required, and so it continues, track after blissful track

If that wasn't enough Gollden digs out her guitar and peppers the remaining elixir with the faintest of notes to help ease any remaining tension.

There's such a purity to her vocal delivery, as she regales us with an ancient tale of a mountain king and young farm girl, that you are immediately transported back centuries to simpler, pagan times, albeit with a kick arse jazz soundtrack.

if you liked any of her previous LPs then you’ll immediately feel right at home, those translucent vocals and softly plucked guitar still melt into what sounds like the ambient soundscapes to your most pleasant dreams.

Hooky refrains and nu-disco basslines eschewed for precision sound design, higher sonic purpose and an altogether more astral approach

home for her genre ambiguous sonic deviance and technology enhanced hallucinations

The album really is a fluid affair that snakes through the ambient spectrum from sun warmed islands of tranquility, over constantly morphing ethereal terrain with plenty of sonic snapshots for the active listener to absorb

Medieval abbess, theologian, mystic, polymath and 12th century composer Hildegard von Bingen, and highlight how timeless and useful her ideas and techniques still are

but hold tight for a full on lysergic, purgatorial sounding meltdown finale, graced by Shariff's far out and freaky vocal talents.

it’s a beautifully crafted, gently flowing foray into blissful ambient realms

It’s a delicate and delightful EP, and one for the readers that appreciated the recent Maxine Funke tip.

It's as intimate and moving a folk tune as you'll hear this year

If free flowing, funktified and lysergic beat tapes are you thing then you’ll have a new favourite

This is as serious a slice of alt-pop as you'll hear all year, honestly it's a really beautiful track - tune in.

Their new LP keeps a similar trajectory of wrecking crew bass lines, urgent post punk and soaring space rock, DIY log synth noise meets reconstructed club deviance and motorik madness

On the remix Saltbreaker opts for a warmer, smoother approach by largely ditching the surface noise and the minimal piano lines, exchanging them for more comforting sonic swathes

All is not lost but time is fast running out. The revolution will not be televised but there is strength in numbers and the music is better in the resistance.

If acoustic guitar and the folk sound of America are your thing then look no further.

It's a fierce, impassioned tune that takes no prisoners and exactly the sort of militant, saying something jazz that we need to wake people up to how f*^ked the world is
