For the 32nd release on his Eastenderz label, East End Dubs has turned to Chris Stussy, a Dutch producer more often associated with the Djebali and Robsoul Recordings imprints. There's tons to get the juices flowing across the four tracks, which mix pin-sharp electronic melodies and warming chords with basslines and beats that sit somewhere between tech-house and deep house. We're particularly enjoying the melodious, funk-fuelled brilliance of "Never Ending Story" and the liquid deepness of "Modiletion", though opener "Torino" - all deep tech-house grooves, cut-up female vocal samples and tuneful electronic motifs - and dreamy closing cut "Aerolite" are also well worth a place in your DJ sets.

Bohren and Der Club of Gore has always been one of Germany's most intriguing and out there bands - a group rooted in grindcore and doom metal whose hard-to-pigeonhole output draws on a myriad of intriguing influences outside those intense styles. "Patchouli Blue", their tenth studio set since forming in 1992, is another moody and atmospheric gem: a challenging and experimental set that pits angst-ridden guitar textures against hallucinatory, David Lynch style cinematic sounds, hypnotic electronics and smoky, off-kilter jazz expressions. It's not a great departure from their previous albums, but when your sound is so distinctive - and inspired for that matter - why tear up the (Patchouli) blueprint?

Some two years after helping launch Favorite Recordings' reissue-focused SOL Discos imprint, label co-founder Waxist returns with a second volume of "Message In Our Music", a compilation focused - like its' predecessor - on little known "modern soul" from the late 1970s and early '80s. It is, of course, packed to the rafters with rare, slept-on gems, the majority of which change hands for silly money online. Highlights include - but are by no means limited to - the gentle gospel-boogie slickness of Sharnell Morton's "You Are My Shining Star", the glistening guitars and sun-kissed vocals of Direct Connec Shun's two-step soul gem "He's No" and the purple-coloured synth-funk hustle of Spice Of Ice's "Star Struck".

In 1978, Roy Ayers and Wayne Henderson collaborated on Step Into Our Life, a definitive album of richly detailed jazz-funk and disco. One of its standout tracks was the title cut, which now gets its own standalone release on 7" by Dynamite Cuts. It's got conversational brass leads and a brilliantly loose-limbed groove all finished off with the sort of jazzy keys and harmonic chords you would expect of this pair. "For Real" is a little more intimate and loved up, with slick bass and sci-fi synths oiling the groove.

Made using field recordings captured by Archiver on a trip to Japan in 2015, i&i Musik 002 is a two track Jungle release with layered breaks, 808 basslines & chopped up samples. "Jinja" meaning shrine in Japanese, uses recordings taken in & around the sacred Koyasan temple complex in Japan. A deep 808 sub bass backbone & classic breaks have been added to complete the picture on this unique amen roller. On the flip side, "Echo Park" combines snippets from a walk around Shinjuku Gyoen park in Tokyo, with it's echoed announcements & footstep sounds, together with recordings taken from some of Wakayama's temples & shrines. Layered classic breaks & an 808 bassline complete this distinctive track. Written & produced by Archiver & mastered by Loz at Fat As Funk. Individually lathe cut by Archiver & released as a limited edition run of 55 hand stamped & hand numbered 10" dubplates. An exclusively vinyl only affair, with no digital release. Design & artwork by Risa.

Dwell is Recondite's sixth sumptuous album, and is a return to the Ghostly label that first released him in 2013. Since then his style has remained true to his gliding, delicate, hypnotic techno roots, with only the most subtle sonic evolutions marking each new record. This one takes in wandering and melancholic numbers like the title track as well as darker trips like "Black Letter". Each and every time, tracks are built on frictionless grooves, with the most deft synths layered up and twinkling keys gently sprinkled up top. What Recondite does, he does very well.

The third part of DJ Pegasuz's M.I.E.F. series is long overdue as the last outing was three years ago. The time since has served the artist well as these hulking great house bangers attest: "Rollerskatestyle" has rock solid kicks that blow away any cobwebs, and "Dayton" is a zero-fucks-given stomper with jazzy keys working hard to bring nuance to the brilliantly flat footed drums. "Duck Jibe" is loopy, chord laced, brain frying funk and "Prima 5" brings some humid lo-fi depth to what is a fantastically in your face EP that's packed with attitude.

The Lisiere Collectif trio have clocked up some pretty impressive credits so far, not least on Mike Grant's Moods & Grooves. For their next trick, though, they return to their own label LSR for a fourth EP of dreamscape tech. Fist out of the blocks is the intergalactic adventure that is "D - 2403 - 19" with its warped acid bass and twinkling melodic rain. "H - 2403 - 19" is more melancholic, with pensive bass and a nagging lead bringing a sense of loss. "K - 1205 - 19" is the most kinetic of the lot, with brisk drum programming and a whole eco-system of deft sonic details making it as colourful as it is compelling,
