Golden Kong - Simply Happy (DSRPTV)

Having played something from this three-track EP in my FSK show last month, naturally I'm following it up with the other two tracks in my Dandelion and FSK shows this month. This Sao Paolo-based producer whips up an intoxicating mix of techno and funk to produce one of the most irresistible dance releases of the year.

On Dandelion, you can hear the EP's closing track A Dream Unfolds, which features a contribution from Jovelli, while the FSK show has Frutiger Aqua, featuring Rylie. The mix of styles doesn't lend itself to easy description: you'll find everything in there from jungle, to D&B, to experimental rhythms which could be from anywhere, or nowhere.

And if that intoxicating mix whets your appetite for more, check out his Copa 2002 single, released earlier in the summer, which chucks some acid in for good measure. You get the impression Kong's styles could go anywhere at all and I look forward to following them to wherever that turns out to be.

Get it directly from the artist's bandcamp or from DSRPTV.

Babe Roots - Mi Feel It

This was one of my favourite records of last year. From Turin, Babe Roots always whips up a magnificent dubby vibe and, while the groove is always a big part of the appeal, but this one gets lifted by a fantastic vocal contribution from Wayne.

One of the comments on bandcamp reads, 'A Babe Roots release is like an actual event in your life.'  Listen to mokkah_n_versatile and invest four euros in a download of this baby. There's a 10" available here too.
