Da Lata: Going Underground (Da Lata Music)
A British-Brazilian take on The Jams classic hit from the 1990s club veterans. Streetwise vocals from Floetic Lara (above left with Da Lata) take the retro groove in the right direction.
Prince: Rock And Roll Love Affair (Purple Music)
The right royal maverick continues his fruitful fling with the Swiss label. This guitar funk number is served with a spritz of house.
Ciara: Sorry (RCA)
Sorry doesnt seem to be the hardest word for Ciara the Texan chanteuse powers up her husky tones on this rnb ballad.
Vessels: The Sky Was Pink (Cuckundoo Records)
Leeds post-punks play a spiralling electro-fied cover, based on James Holdens remix of a Nathan Fake track. Its weirdly pretty and you can go to www.soundcloud.com/vessels to download it.
DELS: Black Salad (Big Dada)
Brit alt-hip hop talent DELS serves up a toothsome five-track EP. Black Salad is a deliciously lush, characteristically murky confection.
