Japenese dweller, Avec Avec, turns Steffaloo’s folk-inclined ramblings into a funked up mesh of nocturnal debauchery on this ‘Can’t You See’ remix. The single is out now on MUSH records with this and another remix from teen daze.

The other day, high-topped soul maestro, MNEK, threw out an acapella of him singing ‘White Noise’ by Disclosure x AlunaGeorge into the Internet cavern. Unsurprisingly, producers feasted on it like some sweet-tuned Sunday roast but most were inadequate musings that lacked seasoning. That is until Dutch curators, Full Crate & FS Green, spilled their own rehash. Mellow (heart)strings for your midweek.

‘Falling In Love’ is just a snippet of the pair’s unnamed joint EP. We’ll keep you updated of course.

If Beyonce has ever caused a headline because of her curvaceous bosom, then this rework of ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ has the equivalent of bootay for days. Sidechained, fuzzy synths smooch up within French kissing distance of Bey’s spaced out vocal patterings that filter passively throughout.

The arrangement comes from Stwo; a 20-year-old beat merchant from Paris who randomly popped up on our Soundcloud radar.

Project Maldonado has crept out of some shadowy crevice seeping ethereal R&B from its every pore. The sound of one of my favourite vocalists, Liam Bailey melds a beautifully cloudy tone atop beats probably most welcomed on a London night bus journey, post-party. Throughout his twilight run, he trounces through the voodoo darkness of ‘Rebel’ and brash sensuality of ‘Confessions’ where he doesn’t need to know your name to get ‘fucked with you’. Off of public transport, ‘Seraphim’ conjures up memories of those nocturnal stumbles home with just headphones and the whirs of drugged up police sirens as company.

Someone give me a chewing-gummed seat at the back of the N8.

Slasher/Triadzz is out now via Numbers. Pre-order the 12 inch HERE.

Ciara and her body-popping self once had quite a stronghold on the R&B scene. How could we forget the Austin native’s crunk-inspired take on R&B during the mid-2000s? What we would do for a moment of ‘Goodies’ watching Ciara wrangle herself to Jazze Pha’s whiny, 808 hip-hop. Welsh pair, Bodhi, take one of her later creations that featured JT during his electro pop phase. ‘Love Sex Magic’ gets converted to a jumpy twostepper, perfect for shaking off that weekend laze/hangover. It’s Monday, let’s go.

Also, did somebody say free download?

‘Platinum Blonde’ from Scottish hyperboogie young’un, Lockah, is packing quite a hefty funk punch. Moulded in a similar fashion to fellow Scot, Rustie, this entry for Donky Pitch is coated in the type of lavish retro tones that 80s film car chases were made for.

‘Only Built 4 Neon Nites’ is out today via Donky Pitch.

‘Puddle’ has a habit of sounding like an electric shock if it could have a rhythm. Glitchy sounds o’er the almighty funk of slap bass didn’t ever quite match up in our heads. That is before Osaka-born, Fujimoto Tetsuro married them up in a fashion unbeknown to us. It’s a groovy juxtaposition.

Fujimoto Tetsuro’s ‘Sketches of the Other Tokyo’ EP is out now via Diskotopia.
