There we are: our ten favourite albums of 2021... If you like these records, and we're sure you will, we strongly encourage you to pull out your wallet and support the artists - they deserve it. Enjoy!
Ed Cawthorne further perfecting the inexplicably glorious fusion of jazz flute and deep house...
The Munich quartet enlisted producer and keyboardist Max Herre and a string of high-profile guests for this spiritual, Africa-inspired new record...
Truly wonderful and evocative jazz fusion that completely blew us away... Coolest record of the year.
The mysterious Swede continues his impressive streak of luscious nouveau library releases. Bafflingly beautiful.
Irresistible afro disco and funk from Bruno Hovart and friends...
Humble beatmaker transformed himself into a jazz, R&B and neosoul mainstay. We can't wait to see what else this man has up his sleeve...
Another sublime Hovart-production, fronted by Selva - the Marcos Valle of his generation... Impossible not to dig this.
Leon Michels made the album he wanted to make, and we should get on both knees to thank him for that. Other-worldly funk and soul influenced by the best psychedelic Bollywood soundtracks and Anatolian rock have to offer. Killer stuff.
Exotic space funk that is as influenced by adventurous classical music as it is by jazz, hiphop, African music and wonky electronics... These Tel Aviv cats are on to something.
If you release a debut album that sounds like a suprisingly cohesive collection of long lost gems from the greats of jazz, funk and soul, you've got our attention - for life. This record is spiritual and groovy, warm and psychedelic, mesmerizing and energetic. At the same time. Hats off to you, miss Thackray!
