Week Ending 02nd Mar 2025

We get funky this week with Milton Gray’s beautifully chunky “Believe In Me”. Soulful and sweet it’s a throwback to Hil St Soul, Groove Theory or Cooly’s HotBox. Love this track.

Most Nu Disco nowadays is just rehashed versions of classics or tired dance tracks kicking along at 120bpm. But Dave Lee ZR & Maurissa Rose deliver “No Question About It” which is genuinely a cut above the rest. The synth b-line, sweet drums and ultra-80’s vocals takes you back to when real people made real music.

Previous Terrace Martin releases spanned the whole spectrum from HipHop to Traditional Jazz. But thankfully, we’ve got a more middle of the road offering with “Let’s Get Cozy” a pseudo-instrumental gem. Just a chorus and lots of instruments. Can’t ask for much more.

“Voices Across The Miles” by the Soul Ladies brings back the days of great Female Groups  with strong harmonies and danceable grooves. One for the “always keep it handy” box.

Kya Kyani’s “Raging Wolf” is emotion-filled deliciousness. We’re not always about dancing and shaking our things at FJ’z. When it’s time to get down and deep we can do it with the best of them. This is one for the lights off compilation.
