1. Dirty Channels - African Democrazy EP
Lovely melodic vaguely African influenced house music that can even make a freezing Dalston lane feel like a rave up in Addis Ababa, well nearly.

OUR LATEST BOOK

Gavin Watson's photos capture the revolution like no others, with intimate portraits of people having their lives changed forever. For sheer nostalgia this collection can't be beaten. It's all here: the smiles, the lasers, the villains, the crimes against fashion...

The Boy's Own crew were having so much fun that in six years they only managed to loose off 12 issues. But these 440 pages depict acid house culture – the slang, the parties, the tunes, the humour – better than anything, as captured in the words of Farley, Mayes, Weatherall, Oakenfold and many more key players. As well as every page of every fanzine there’s a great interview with all the Boys.

3. Yam Yam - Yam Yam Part 10
On a very deep house orientated chart here is another belter from a label that sounds like a packet of sweets.

4.The Dark Esquire - Situation
Far too 80s? A bit LCD light? Sounds like a pretty good situation to be in to me.

5. Ilya Santana - Burning Jupiter
If this man spends as much time in the studio as his repeatedly excellent output suggests, he must be the palest person in the Canary islands. Excellent adition to the Eskimo family.

6. Don Williams - Detroit Blue EP
The Mojuba boss shows that teccy sci-fi, and gutter funk can somehow make a splendid techno concoction.

1. Disco Deviance - Doctor Love
Predictably another Disco Deviance release tops our edits chart. Just as predicatbly this is rather good indeed.

2. Pilooski - AAA
This is the last RVNG's edit series and Pilooski back from house duty in Discodeine shows that simplicity doeasn't always equate to laziness.

4. Faze Action - In the Trees
Whilst this includes the Carl Craig mix, which is all very nice it is all about the original, an immense epic string laden slice of disco. A true modern classic.

6. Body Electronic - Magic Electronic

1. The Very Best of Street Corner Symphony
Killer vocal house from New York's halcyon '90s period by one its finest producers
2. Man Friday - Love Honey, Love Heartache
One of those indescribably unique records that could only have come out of 1980s New York. Jelly disco loaded up with wrong-yet-so-right wobbly bits. Ace!
3. Akwaaba - Do It Tomorrow
Akwaaba, Steve Kotey and Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy’s debut album (alongside Tom Lee), was conceived at the crossroads between afrobeat, deep house and Lee Perry’s effects pedals. It still sounds fresh today.
4. Eleanore Mills - Mr Right
The tune that launched a thousand samplers (the acapella most famously used by Outrage for Tall And Handsome. Classic slice of 1980s New York Garage-house.
5. Coyote - Afro Balearic (Rune Lindbaek Mix)
Dancing, an abstract concept in Coyote's world, breaks out courtesy of Rune's cosmic-not-cosmic belter
