Dig The Slowness - Various. CD. (Discotheque - DQFCD001) Once upon a time, Dig The Slowness was the subtitle to a classic folk-rock tune by Donovan. 37 years later, it raises the flag on a new label devoted to the vision of DJs who straddle the past and the future. Andy Lewis (Blow Up, Acid Jazz) takes the controls for this ultimate groovy album, plucked from a rich rock, funk, pop and soul archive. As Record Collector magazine says, "it’s proof that the best DJs are vinyl junkies".

Garden Of Delights - Various. CD. (Discotheque - DQFCD022) London's hip DJs - in particular those involved with the Big Chill, who admittedly do have a background in fine alternative music with the Cooking Vinyl label - have suddenly discovered folk music and folk rock and this compilation features the work of several seminal artists such as Duncan Browne, the Dransfields, Donovan, Pentangle, Shelagh McDonald, Decameron, Gryphon, Caravan (OK, not folk in the slightest but still good), Davey Graham, Shirley Collins, Fotheringay, Dave Swarbrick and Prelude (with their timeless cover of Neil Young's "After The Goldrush") A good place to start investigating the genre everyone is talking about.

Le Beat Bespoke - 25 Tailor Made Cuts (Various). CD.

Where The Action Is! (Gary Crowley Presents) - Various. Dble CD.
