...sounds you hear that linger in your ear!

They do it again! Laid-back vintage ska sound combined with clattering breakbeat and proper soul vocals from the gorgeous 'Little' Hannah Collins.

3. (NEW) Aim feat. Q n C – Before (Birchwood EP)(ATIC)
Q Ball and Curt Cazal hook up again to trade effortless rhymes over an Aim beat and orchestral soul horn loop about how “Everything was whips and chains” back in the day. Genius.

4. (3) The Cool Kids – 88 - Unreleased track
The title ‘88’ says it all – it’s Run DMC / The Beasties rebooted. Works for the monkey though.

5. (NEW) Tame Impala – Remember Me – Unreleased track
Shouldn't work but blatantly does - psychedelic rock cover of the 90s Blueboy hit that sampled Marlena Shaw.

6. (NEW) The Carps – All The Damn Kids (The Young and Passionate Days of Carpedia EP)(Urbnet)
The offspring of a deviant love match between Bad Brains and Lenny Kravitz. In a good way.

7. (NEW) Diatribe – Callin All Thugs – Roaring Twenties LP (Kamikazi Airlines)
Turntables, microphones and…the sound of Harlem’s Cotton Club.

Cee-Lo Green and Dangermouse drop a nu-(speed)-soul number that nods to both Northern soul and 60s Californian psychedelia.

9. (NEW) Sober & Dribbla – Freaks Speak Dark LP (Unreleased)
Dark and ultra heavy hip-hop – it’s the sound of your fear getting the fear and your paranoia getting paranoid. Word!
