Inkswel & Andre Espeut – Synchronicities [Compost Records]
If there’s a category for hardest working DJ/Producer then Inkswel would certainly be a finalist for the title. “Synchronicities”, his latest project is a collaboration with UK singer songwriter Andre Espeut. Inkswel dishes up a collection of funk n soul gems for Espeut’s soulful vocals to shine. “Play With Fire” is a gritty tune fueled by organ and guitar grooves. “Downtown” is a trip to funky town that features Los Angeles rapper Abstract Rude. “Callin 4 U” is a taste of synth powered broken beat goodness featuring Amsterdam flautist Han Litz. Inkswel’s compositions have no shortage of infectious funk and soul grooves. This release is no exception.

Dora Morelenbaum – Pique [Mr Bongo Records]
“Pique”, the solo debut from Dora Morelenbaum is awash with sublime jazz infused Brazilian rhythms. A member of the group Baja Desejo, Morlenbaum’s own project allows her to put her talents on full display. The blissful opener “Nao Vou Te Esquecer” showcases her heavenly voice over warm keys and soft guitar melodies. “Nem te procurar” is a light Disco number with an infectious groove. “VW Blue” is a jazzy number where Morlenbaum’s wordless phrasing aligns seamlessly with the stellar musicianship on board. The soothing ethereal “Petricor” is another highlight among many here. Ana Frango Eletrico serves as co-producer and creates a balance between mellow and funky tunes. Morelenbaum’s voice is understated yet passionate so you’re instantly pulled in. There’s a new generation of talent emerging from Brazil and Morelenbaum is certainly one to watch. This engaging debut is evidence of that.

Mörk – Still Dreaming [Albert’s Favourites]
Hailing from Budapest, Mork is a four piece band specializing in psychadelic jazz infused grooves. Guitarist Mark Zentai’s honey toned vocals are sprinkled over an array of ambient tracks here. “Towards The Sun” has a tasty groove and packs plenty of bounce for the dance floor. “Dromedar” is simmering apacey fusion highlighted by South London poet Brother Portrait. The mid-tempo “Only Mine” features Zentai’s vocals wrapped around a gorgeous melody and a wicked backbeat. The UK based label Albert’s Favourites consistently delivers gems and this is no exception. An impressive record that certainly deserves repeated listens.
