Review: Sam KDC's voyage into parts unknown continues apace on this latest release for Samurai Music, as the producer takes tropes of d&b into ever more meditative, swampy surroundings. There's a creeping intensity to 'Indra's Net' which will go down a storm with anyone exploring that fertile crossover between deep techno and tech-step. 'The Shroud' is a more mystical affair, while 'Metempsychosis' leans in on hidden layers of detailed synth work and a slowly modulating time-stretched snare that lodges itself in your skull. 'Rhea's Revenge' finishes off on a taut note, bringing its own sub-tropical climate and a plethora of subliminal details to get your very far outside your body through the power of sound alone.

Review: With such an illustrious catalogue behind her, it's no surprise to see Bjork's work approached via a project like this. Wagram have gathered together a range of artists to approach the Icelandic pop explorer's rich legacy from a jazz perspective, and the emphasis is on classics from her first three albums. From 'Isobel' and 'Come To Me' through to 'Human Behaviour' and 'Army Of Me', it's a joyous and intriguing listen, with artists such as Gretchen Parlato, Viktoria Tolstoy and Betty Hutton taking on these imperious songs with a fresh twist.
