What do you get if you put Aloe Blacc, Jill Scott, The Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo, Bibio, Kid Loco and Morcheeba all onto a CD, you get Lounge Anthology!

Lounge Anthology is 4 CD’s deep, this is a pretty spectacular collection of songs ranging from the french sophistication of Kid Loco to L.A’s beats and words master Ohmega Watts. To be honest there’s so many good tracks on here I don’t have enough space to talk about them all, rest assured this CD will have something for everyone.

This will be the soundtrack to any Sunday afternoon, maybe the whole day!

For Fans of: Mr Scruff, Kid Loco, Aloe Blacc, Morcheeba

VARIOUS – PUNK GOES POP VOL 3 – CD

The Punk Goes Pop compilations are all about the best punk bands in the world covering the biggest pop hits in the world. Fearless records favourites such as Woe Is Me, Breathe Caroline, Miss May I all get involved covering chart topping hits from artists such as Kanye West, M.I.A, La Roux, Lade Antebellum and Katy Perry.

Don’t worry, this isn’t some sort of Karaoke compilation, the bands get stuck in and do what they need to do turn these hit singles up on their heads! If you’re a fan of Fearless records it’s an immediate purchase, if you’re getting into punk, this is a great place to start.

KID LOCO – A GRAND LOVE STORY – CD

I remember this album like it was yesterday! I still own a vinyl copy and it still gets played. Kid Loco was and still is, one of the finest producers of his generation.

This album released in 1999 was head and shoulders above a lot of other albums released that year, although it was never a huge commercial release, it was highly lauded by many people within the industry, and those who knew good music.

Almost defining an era, this was an album of laid back jazzy, soulful beats, with a french twist. A grand Love Theme is still one of my favourite tracks, enjoy..

For Fans of: Mr Scruff, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Bonobo
