Review: Young NRG Productions regular GLP returns to the label with his first album in four years, a varied trip through many styles of contemporary dance music which combines a savvy sense of adventure with a big room sound. Like his last album Tribals, ethnic percussion is a big feature across many of the tracks, with "Havana" and "Tribal Village" providing some particularly exciting rhythmic moments. However, these are joined by darker, clubbier moments of furious acid and chugging techno such as "Acid Inda House" and "Vortex" which provide some much needed balanced to the lighter, funkier side of the album.

Review: We've seen an upsurge in activity from GLP ever since he returned with album Pump The Bass last June. "Hopi" is the latest installment in a string of post album singles, and comes in two forms. The standard club mix sees vintage bongo and brass samples welded to a strong and funky rolling behemoth. Best though, is the tribal mix, with its epic suspended synth pads and delays swirling around a tough thumping backbone. Guaranteed dancefloor ammo.

Review: Super prolific Young NRG Productions bossguy Stex slaps down his second album of the year. The title says it all: Spirit Of Funk: A document that spans Miami bass boogie rap ("G Funk"), lean beatbox mid 2000s garage breaks ("Tart Chopper"), medina-level sleazy drum funk ("Do It"), turbo-powered disco damage ("C'Mon Baby") and switchblade amen charged jungle funk ("Go It"). With stacks more Stex magic in between, it's yet another muscular dispatch from the relentless label head
