→ This week! Another great cover by German steel band Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band (thanks Guts!). This time covering Musa Masa's classic Love$ick. As addictive as the original! Belgium's best not-so-secret weapon Lefto released his first single out his first upcoming LP, somehow reminiscent of Thundercat, with those ethereal background vocals, featuring Simbad on saxophone, especially digging this housy rework by DJ ADHD, great mix of flavors here! Another rework, Australian this time by Oyobi, of a track by The Modern Artefact, for a great soulful funky electronica result. Floating Points's label Melodies International re-issued such a catchy soul number by obscure act Cinnamon Soulettes, which also includes a great flute solo! Ending this week selection in Cuba, out from the great Jazzanova compilation "Nueva Vision - Latin Jazz & Soul From The Cuban Label EGREM / AREITO" back in 2007 with Grupo Tema IV, eponymous track. Such a Brazilian vibe in this track, hard to believe this one's from Cuba!
