Review: Qu'ran Goodman, Taji Goodman and Tarik Dawson are Da Youngsta's, a hardcore hip hop outfit active from 1992 and central to the genre's development through the nineties, most often on EastWest Records America. 'Be Great' is a brand new 2020 single that has lush piano work bringing warmth and soul, and slow motion, gently rotating and spacious drums sinking you into a stoned groove. The rhymes are slowed and stretched to match and the whole tune has an aspirational mood that permeates you're being. 'Be Great 2' is continuation that seals the deal.

Review: Swiss duo Serafin and Rozzo aka The Mountain People played a crucial role in the late '00s transition from minimal into deep house, with the early catalogue numbers in their eponymous label's catalogue considered seminal. The second release here on their new white label spinoff is strictly limited and comes in the form of 'Love Is Always' which true to their formula is evocative, as always, and will hypnotise you into submission with its lean and subtle groove dynamics. Perfect for Monday morning afterhours bliss.
