The KM Editions series, admirably helmed by the mysterious Keyboard Masher, has always been one of the more interesting re-edit/rework labels. Past installments have touched on krautrock, disco, Balearica, funk, Italo and what can only be described as electronic oddities. This sixth volume offers up three more impressively remixed, overdubbed and re-edited gems. There's naturally much to admire, not least the OMD style woozy synth-pop of "Stolen Shapes (Stealing Rework)", which should tickle the fancy of anyone of a Balearic disposition. The same can be said about the immersive, sun-kissed pianos and shuffling grooves of "Astral Playground". There's also a chunk of silly - but, perversely, rather good - French cod-reggae in the shape of "Le Cod", arguably our pick of a strong bunch.

Famed for their self-released ‘KM Editions’ series, Keyboard Masher join Daphni & Tom Croose in the Resista family with the roaring “Afro Editions” - two faultless edits that distil the spirit of mother Africa. Opener “JuJu” is an epic fifteen minute long journey filled with joyous, duelling guitars, syncopated percussion, shuffling rhythms and a myriad of unexpected passages and turns. Captivating from the off, there’s only one word to describe “JuJu” – ‘magical’. On the flip “ Tcham Tcham” takes a more direct route to the dancefloor… Riding on a more electronic 4/4 beat, it’s unashamedly leftfield, with a thunderous chug, a great guitar riff and deadpan calls of ‘Tcham Tcham’, which all builds up to an anthemic climax. Drop it and watch the dancefloor melt.
