Loads of great music being released these days. Here are some recent selections worth giving a listen. Soundway Records’ great compilation of Nigerian 70’s rock starts things off. Jose James puts jazz into the groove for a contemporary stepper oozing soul. Dimlite has a new LP on the Now Again label filled with broken machine cosmic slappers. Hazy dubtech boogie soul joints from Brokenchord, SBTRKT, and Von D reminisce with sliced syncopation. Retro rave nods with 2010 production qualities from Machinedrum and Bok Bok. The new M.I.A. album, “Maya”, finds her in different form from previous releases, though equally fine with tough electronic productions bolstered by digital noise, requiring a proper listening focus. LCD Soundsystem’s latest is another great release with slow building jams that’ll bring you back and push you forward. Enjoy.
