Back in 2023, Parisian jazz-funk-meets-disco outfit Chatobaron partnered with 21st century disco icon Dimitri From Paris on the superb 'Chez Madame La Baronne'. At the time, the Idjut Boys were called in to remix it, but only one of their suite of takes was released. Hence this killer four-tracker on their own Bite The Day label. It's typical of the long-serving duo's wild, wonderful and frequently deliciously dubbed-out work. While the opening 'Le Fouet version' is a rolling, spacey, sun-splashed and only lightly dubby dancefloor excursion, the mix which follows - the 'Grosse Bite version' - is a wonderfully trippy, percussion-rich drum dub smothered in tape delay and space echo; in other words, a classic Idjuts interpretation. Over on the reverse, the 'Sac Plain' version is a proper Idjuts dub that flits between spacey drop-outs and extended groove sections, while the closing 'Sac Vide version' is a sunrise-ready ambient delight.

Billy Woods returns with Golliwog, his first album in two years, following 2023's Maps. While that record was a sharp, introspective travelogue, this one souses into a far darker pool, where fever dreams of horror, satire, and Afropessimism collide, and in whose underwater nooks phantoms lurk in the intertext, and undead figures, possessed dolls, and ghostly cars slip through time. Conveying this dark, weltering sonic backdrop are a crack fleet of producers: The Alchemist, EL-P, Kenny Segal, Conductor Williams, and Preservation. A disorienting, layered triumph, and an abandoned carnival of sound, flickering with life amid deviant-diasporic dances in the dark.

Pete Burns was one of the most interesting artists to come out of the decade of the 80s and Youthquake was their most important release. Celebrating 40 years since release, this reissue repackages this album beautifully for a new generation of fans, opening with the track that made them a household name - 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)'. The band's second album was no one hit wonder though. The exuberant 'Lover Come Back to Me' and post-disco tinged 'In Too Deep' were also UK top 20 tracks while also getting major club play all across the world, and you can relive their rocket fuelled mix of high energy disco and synth pop all over again.

Like all good 7"s, this is a compact yet powerful release by Glitterin who serves up a summer-ready house cut built for the dance floor. It gets you locked from the off with punchy kick drums leading into ricocheting rhythms which drive headfirst into late-night party vibes thanks to fine production from Jason Core. It also features Sandry Sanz's passionate vocals telling a story of unrequited love, layered with sharp synth stabs and crashing cymbals. Tony David's emotive guitar solo adds boldness to the mix, while the B-side dub version strips it down to highlight Core's analogue wizardry and many deft synth layers, shifting keys and intricate percussion.

Trent. No, not Ron, and not the former Liverpool baller, but Berlin-based Italian Trent. This return to wax takes the form of four retro-inspired and chugging cosmic workouts that blend house and disco into rugged worlds of texture and tension. He is a favourite at the cult Cocktail d'Amore and brings signature classic to this EP which is sweaty and sleazy while landing heavy, often with potent nostalgia, vocal euphoria and funked-out basslines. 'Cin Cin' is sheer class with its relentless Italo-mania, 'Shiva Boom' brings tribal acid hypnosis and 'Down to Oz' ends in a hazy cosmic trip with psychedelic leads.

Aaron Coyes is a busy man who is associated with some cult projects including Peaking Lights, Leisure Connection and NTS shows. Here he steps out solo with a dub-focused project steeped in psychedelic textures and drawing on his typical genre-blurring sensibilities. Exotic Gardens delivers eight immersive tracks that blend deep bass and swirling effects and were originally released on Pinchy & Friends. This limited edition repress allows you to once again explore Coyes' mastery of spacious, mind-expanding soundscapes that draw from his deep roots in dub and experimental electronics. Some unfurl with the radiance of a new dawn, some are more liquid and reverb-drenched affairs, and others are cosmic mind melters.

R Aldem is a new alias from an accomplished South East London artist who wants to stay anonymous for this one. Why? Well, it's an edit project on the newly launched Camberwell Crime Syndicate and the inaugural helping is killer edits that you need in your life. 'Stone Faced' opens with low-end swagger and dark soul you will recognise immediately but here it takes on a dubby undercurrent. 'The Shining' is a funked-up disco cut with organic percussion and jumbled drums to shake your bones while the rugged bass powers on. 'Haunted' closes with a more stoned and late-night vibe for around the campfire when the bong is loaded and the vibes are mellow.

The (Psychedelic) Stooges' 1969 opener, led by Iggy Pop, carved raw, unfiltered grooves with 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and '1969', shouldering a great cultural weight for its canine portrayals of civil rights unease and shock doctrinal shifts in youth identity. Though many of its early demos proved unusable, the likes of 'Asthma Attack' and 'Goodbye Bozos' stand out equally as finished songs formed of early jam sessions, carried throughout by the bare brunt of mega-fuzz ferocity, out of which Pop's vocals pop with Dylan-esque descension. The angst of the era is further conveyed by photographer Glen Craig's studio snapshots on this reissue, the best among them depicting Iggy shirtless dancing on session amps.
