Artist: Black Science Orchestra Title: "Headspace Lullaby" 

One of the last things recorded before their untimely demise the Black Science Orchestras harmonica laden funk instrumental was a taster for the unfinished album "Mass". The A side is right in that head nodding beard stroking bag while the percussive B side with its off the wall drum solo is sure to inspire a great many jazz dance contortions in the coming months.

Artist: Ashley Slater Title: "Private Sunshine" 

Taken from former Freakpower frontman Ashley Slaters new album "Big Lounge" currently garnering lots of top notch reviews. The A side is a beautifully crafted string laden slow batucada and the B side Mr Murphy strips down the track, added a massive dark bassline with sinister sounding strings, some Roma (gipsy) musicians, piles on the percusion and speeds it up halfway.
