Review: UK producer and remix wizard Robin Perkins aka El Buho has collected together a land more of his works for this second volume of his Tributaries remix series. It shows there evolution of his style across the selections as he serves up his unique reinterpretations of traditional music in his own electronic-organic style. Along the way, he tackles Galician, Estonian, Colombian, Irish, Garifuna, Reunionnaise and French folk music, with the result ranging from club-ready bangers to more pensive and slow psychedelic jams.

Review: Singer-songwriter John Batiste thoroughly expands his horizons with World Music Radio, his seventh studio album to date. A concept album revolving around an interstellar alter-ego named Billy Bob Bo - who creates "potpourri of the far-flung musical languages of Earth and transmits it to the cosmos with chuckling" - Batiste's latest effort is a globetrotting revelry in genre tourism, aiming for a redefinition of fraught terms like "world music," but also retaining an enduring sound of optimism throughout, and subverts the well-trodden path of the concept of trawling the megahertz.
