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.

Richard Spaven – Solo Subject [Fine Line]
Richard Spaven has been the go to drummer for a number of the emerging stars on the UK jazz scene. With his latest project “Solo Subject” he picks up where he left off with his last album “Spirit Beats”. Two of the Uk ‘s premier rappers are on board for this project. “Spaven’s Arc” features Wildchild from the hip-hop group Looppack. Wildchild’s flow and lyrical dexterity complements Spaven’s drum snare rhythms. UK rapper Tendayi drops a fiery verse alongside the gritty groove of “Mind State”. “Find Peace Within”, a rework of the Liquid Biskit classic jumps out of the speaker with infectious percussion and synths. Another instrumental highlight is “Faders”, a ferocius drum n bass banger. Spaven’s fierce yet gentle drumming lays the groundwork for the wave of spirited piano flurries. Another impressive release from the mighty drummer.

Ludivine Issambourg – Above The Laws [Heavenly Sweetness]
“Above The Law” is the third solo release from Parisian Flautist LudivineA Issambourg. The eleven track release is an intoxicating brew of jazz funk with a array of musicians bringing these compositions to life. Eric Legnini’s sunny flurries on the Fender Rhodes compliment Issambourg’s flute melodies on “The Bear”. The horn section is equally compelling. Alexandre Herichon’s trombone stands out among the ensemble of saxophonists on board. “Angel Dust”, the Gil Scott Heron hit receives a rework with none other than Brian Jackson. Jackson, of course was part of the duo that composed the original and his vocals add a fresh take on the classic. “Heartbeat” opens with a laid back funky bass groove from Xavier Zolli. Issambourg’s passionate soloing is the icing on the cake. Issambourg’s prowess of her instrument is on full display here. There’s a hint of the Mizell brothers vibe as the worlds of jazz and funk blend seemlessly. Overall it’s a statement from Issambourg that she can compose tasty grooves with the best of them. A deeply satisfying record without a doubt.
