Jamie Woon is relatively still at the start of his career even after the success of ‘Wayward Stranger’ of a couple of years ago; Hectic grabs a quick chat at Cargo where he’s on the same bill as Joe Bataan and James Pants!

When you’d mention “Boomshadow” in the circle of Nino Moschella and his friends it was an in-joke for a fictional super hero to come and save anybody from whatever the problem was; and if you’re problem is a lack of proper funk and soul, his sophmore album Boom Shadow is here to save you.

Just out in time to catch those Valentine romantics, this 12″ has much more to offer than just one day of loveliness. In fact, I’d say that this was luvely all year long.

Finally. A history of Catalan rumba in English. I can’t tell you how long I have been searching for this. Yes, this is 2-in-1. An unusual compilation of impossible-to-find Catalunyan Gypsy soul and a book providing a detailed history of this amazing and often forgotten musical movement

Eohl is not only an album with a name that is ridiculously difficult to pronounce but it is also one that it is difficult to categorise beyond the flamenco label. While it is obviously Spanish, in style as well as language, it incorporates, rock, pop, the lighter end of drum and bass as well as the sounds of southern Spain
