Like a sporadic sprinkle throughout his iconic career as bandleader of the MGs, Hammond B3 organ-master Booker T. Jones always seems to drop the occasional solo effort for us to flavor as well. His latest, Potato Hole, is refreshingly strong, finding a harmonious balance between a new sound and likable tunes. Jones employs [...]]]></description>

Ciao!
Last Gang
Tiga, the Montreal-based DJ, gives us his second original CD of minimal electro. Ciao! sounds heavily influenced by NYC post-disco, largely due to co-production from Soulwax and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, but is drastically more minimal than either group, with many songs featuring little more than a single synth line and spoken word vocals.
