This time it's based on a hardly recognisable Apache break with a persistent rolling synth note. On the flip is Drumz Nightmare using, like his The Damn Thing, the Think break but taking it much deeper with use of acoustic guitar, choral snippets and, oddly but effectively, harp strings.

Karizma also provides a solid house-orientated dub for Greymatter's Believe in Something remixes package but it's the Fanatix full vocal which really delivers, turning the broken beat original into a summer house anthem, the chords recalling the 1991 classic The Afterworld by DJ Pierre in his Darkman guise. Another for summer is Bopstar's follow up to Captured on Soul Heaven. Like its predecessor Desire is a collaboration with Zara McFarlane whose sultry vocals perfectly complement the subtlety of the original house production. The Jose Carretas' remixes just about outshine the original however driven by a touch of bossa rimshots on the percussion and a slightly more electronic synth riff.

Keeping the subtlety theme, out on Freerange, Manuel Tur's Golden Complexion with Mark Blakkat Bell comes with remixes courtesy of Pepe Bradock. The deep and dreamy Minnie Mouth keeps it uptempo while Reef Breaks takes the BPMs down below 100. Also included are an acapella and the original, more dancefloor friendly, live dub. Blakkat's Shaboom imprint has a compilation out of his East River Rituals releases. Featuring Afro-Cuban Jazz artists such as Candido Camero, Victor Venegas and Totico as well as Robert Owens and Taka Boom it covers the gamut from down to uptempo, latin to broken to house to disco. The pick of the tracks for me being Blakkat's remix of Mi Ritmo with its emphasis on the bassline and percussion and the triplets-based santeria evoking The Healing.

Another fine latin orientated release comes from Paris Jazzmin records. Nu Tropic's The Kingdom Of Love while including the excellent Latin Pieces and Que Linda Mi Cuba, doesn't confine itself to afro-cuban and puerto rican influences as evinced by the funk of I'm Your Girl Baby and the appearance of swedish based Bahia native Clara Mendes on three tracks: Ve Se Agora Vai and the more uptempo Accorda Mi Amor sticking with the brazilian flavour while Can't You Leave manages to pull off an anglo-luso-phone boogie fusion.

Fusion seems to be the theme on the latest Sol Selectas. Number 8 is vinyl only for now but a digital release is promised by the titular label. All four tracks feature label boss Sabo and Brookylyn resident Egyptian Zeb responsible for the excellent Stop The World I Want To Get Off album on Wonderwheel a couple of years ago. Move It Closer has a middle eastern influence and yet nods to Brazil with the use of the Berimbau. Over The Ocean combines funk, afrobeat and dub reggae. The downtempo Sanguebom sticks to Brazil while Pomba Giro despite its portuguese title and Brazilian percussion recalls King Sunny Ade's guitar styling.

Coming out on T's Box and available as promo on Traxsource, Terry Hunter presents Kgosi's Advice From My Father brings together funk and afrobeat. There's a notable Brass Construction influence in the original mixes particularly in the use of clavinet and Randy Muller provides some of the vocals. Ron Trent's Africa Hifi mixes take it in a characteristically deep direction.

NextMoov Traxx have a five tracker from Deep House legend Jovonn. Full Course EP has four decent house cuts but it's the Tony Humphries championed Church Clap which really stands out. DJ Romain's drum programming, including said claps, along with the organ provide the gospel style backing for a winding synth line which brings to mind Cloud One's disco classic Atmosphere Strut.

Papa keeps up the soul pressure with The Realm's latest offering. Take You There featuring Tony Momrelle is an epic vocal house joint which really comes alive in the Ray Jones remixes. Another vocal house cut to check but on a deeper tip is P'Taah's Dance Until We Die. Singer Tiombe Lockhart is more used to working with the likes of Platinum Pied Pipers on a hip hop tempo but she delivers the goods here and her performance is best showcased in the Kenny Dope remixes. His dub is stripped down to basics, a simple drum pattern with a muted cowbell and little stabs reminiscent of old school Todd Terry but the main mix is where the action is with squelchy bass and a driving breaky beat. There are also a couple of fairly ordinary remixes from Art Of Tones and the P'Taah remix to complete the package.

Jonny Miller returns to action with his first release for a year on his Jus' Listen label. Switch It works that broken techno sound along the lines of Kode9's Black Sun I reviewed a couple of months ago. The flip features Fire which is a more basic beats and bass bruk number made for the dancefloor. More crossover bruk and dubstep comes this time from Brighton's Klic. Out on Unique Uncut, Karaoke has the more busy arrangement with a skippy beat while Hi Tech Soul makes the dubstep influence more explicit.

Covering all bases, Toronto's Do Right records showcases a varied selection of genres on its That's How We Do Right compilation including yet another of Simbad's forays into dubstep, his twist on Elizabeth Shepherd's Shining Tear Of The Sun in the same spirit as his excellent remix back in '07 of Nicole Willis' Invisible Man. The whole album is recommended but a few other tunes worth mentioning are Soul Jazz Orchestra's afrobeat tune Parasite, tuned up by Life Boogie, Jacon Korn's midtempo tech house groover Whatyagonnado, K Alexi's piano jazz house number Mother's Child channeling 1990 era Pal Joey, Gigz' shuffling hip hop soul take on Billie Holiday's God Bless The Child and Cutty Lark's brilliant 1970s soul flavoured Cuttify It.
