Review: Captain Planet is a globe trotting DJ and producer who mixes up worldly roots music with his own fresh take on hip-hop and dancehall. For this one he joined up with Zuzuka Poderosa & Raphael Futura for a brilliant Brazilian disco and funk song that harks back to the 70s and 80s with influences like Tim Maia, Sandra Da Sa & Gilberto Gil. 'Moqueca' though also has some nice dance floor weight to it as well as the richly tropical percussion, steamy horns and seductive chords. On the flip is an instrumental and the good news is this is a taster of a full album to come.

Review: ZHU is something of an album specialist. This latest full-length, Grace, represents his fourth overall and is a rather special triple vinyl affair on heavyweight wax. It comes some two and a half years after his last back in December 2021 and arrives once more via Astralwerks. The GRAMMYr-nominated artist has revealed that he recorded most of this one in his hometown of San Francisco at the celebrated Grace Cathedral, which is where it gets its name. He also worked with others at points, including Devault and BabyJake on his first album single 'Revelations'. This one has already performed well and claimed a spot on Rolling Stone's list of "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week" upon release.

Review: ZHU is renowned for his albums, and his latest, Grace, marks his fourth release. This deluxe version of it (the standard version is also available with us) is a triple vinyl edition on heavyweight red-coloured wax with a special booklet. It comes two and a half years after his December 2021 album and the GRAMMYr-nominated artist has revealed that he recorded most of it in his hometown of San Francisco, specifically at the iconic Grace Cathedral, thereby inspiring its title. Collaborations on the album include Devault and BabyJake, with the first single, 'Revelations,' earning a spot on Rolling Stone's "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week."
