Music can make people happy or sad, it can relax or energize people, it can cause people to cry and make people dance all night long. Music is a wonderful and powerful thing.

Audio Texture is a small, dynamic, music obsessed company focusing on the musical road less travelled. We love music even more than chocolate and we constantly research, listen to and painstakingly collate what we consider to be the best music in the world.

words:
Seu Jorge kicks off the show this week with his crack at covering 'Everbody Loves The Sunshine' by Roy Ayers and a fine version it is as well. Keni Okulolo then funks things up with a welcome reissue courtesy of Hot Casa, an essential 7" purchase. I was more than happy to learn this week that Electric Wire Hustle from New Zealand have teamed up with the mighty BBE for their European album release, watch out for that but in the meantime enjoy the KILLER single 'They Don't Want'. The BlackJoy album is now available and all soulsters and disco queens should be running to the record shop, quick style.

I followed that up with a classic slice of simple but devastatingly effective house music from Zwicker, give a deep John Talabot remix that I was happy to restumble upon, released last year but still sounding fresh. Greie Gut Fraktion are a couple of German ladies who have spent a long time hanging around building sites and machines recording the sounds and then sculpting them into a surprisingly listenable album with great production, just check the onomatopoeic 'Cutting Trees'. Ghostpoet is the latest signing to Brownswood recordings and another great UK MC talent, quality lyrics and deep beats, I like him a lot.

I'm happy to present more Africa Hitech the musical lovechild of Steve Spacek and Mark Pritchard and the project is sounding as good as it should and is also ridiculously eclectic, everything from future dancehall and house to deep bassline chill out, essential. David Starfire isn't all that but Sub Swara have come up trumps again with another killer remix, they've got the midas touch for real. Ital Tek is coming through with a great sounding new album with an extra slice of melody to warm up the beats and electronic heart and it's sounding great.

Sepalcure are great and their new EP for Hotflush is a great deep soulful bassline workout, excellent, excellent EP, i then dropped a bit of Radiokijada my favorite Afro Peruvian electronic fusionists, I've been sitting on the album for ages but finally unwrapped it and it's a joy from start to finish. Ill Blue is coming with a nice slice of UK Funky for Hyperdub with a double A-Side slice of dancefloor bounce which will be all over the place this summer before Mount Kimbie (hurry up and get that album out) end the show with a great remix from a great original by Andreya Triana, look out for her Bonobo produced album coming really soon.
