"'Beam Me Up' features the vocals of Charlene Soraia and production assistance from Berlin based producer Scuba. It is a clear statement of intent that, in Saul's ideal world, would be exactly how pop music sounds. Having immersed himself in the world of house and techno for the last ten years, the production on 'Beam Me Up' inevitably echoes Saul's sentiments on the genre."

"Dani Siciliano, the sultry voice on many of Matthew Herbert's releases, has already proven herself with her solo debut. She is far more than just a singer -- her writing, composition and production are all worthy of our respect. The 7" "Why Can't I Make You High" is an outtake from her forthcoming sophomore album Slappers, that shows a totally different, countrified side of Dani. This infectious tune is backed up with 'Who's Blues,' which in fact repeats the A-side's lyrics over a much more moody and atmospheric track."

"Supa Sista, Ursula Rucker's 2001 !K7 debut launched a talented poet out the gate as a solo artist with the affirmation of a strong lyrical voice. Then came Silver and Lead in 2003, a riveting exploration of self, woman and Black, with an assembly of producers. With Ma'at Mama, Rucker shows a new level of maturity in her writing. It's clear that she harnesses emotions in song to get through the daily grind. She explores socio-political points of race, class, culture, religion and gender, with steel-cut precision. True to form, Rucker's albums are poetry in motion, guided by a time signature that speaks to the human experience with honesty and poignancy."

"Annie follows the release of her highly acclaimed debut album Anniemal earlier this year with the release of her own installment of the highly acclaimed DJ Kicks series on !K7 Records. This is a continuation of Annie's already rich history on the dancefloor, which since her Telle Records debut The Greatest Hit, has seen her not only release a brace of seminal dance anthems including 'Chewing Gum,' 'Heartbeat' and 'I Will Get On,' but a long history of remixes and collaborations with some of the most innovative names across the world of dance including the likes of Richard X, Royksopp, Freeform Five, Maurice Fulton, Mylo & Alan Braxe to name but a few. Another artist to come out of the musical melting pot that is Bergen (her close-knit hometown in Norway, she shares with the likes of Royksopp, Magnet, Ralph Myerz & Kings Of Convenience) Annie has quickly forged her own reputation for revitalising the dancefloor with impeccably poised club classics. Annie has been embraced by many as a new tour de force in electro-disco, championed across the board by the likes of Peaches, DFA, Rob Da Bank & Scissor Sisters amongst others. The DJ Kicks album will feature a newly recorded unreleased track entitled 'The Wedding' and new track 'Gimme Your Money' with plenty of more surprises."

"Surprise! Benjamin Diamond, whose refined voice once graced Stardust's worldwide hit 'Music Sounds Better With You', proves that with this amazing song from his forthcoming second album Out Of Myself, the music in 2005 will actually, definitely sound better. With him. 'Let's Get High' is an instant classic, not just a dance classic but a pop song that in its ingenious nonchalant catchiness could be, or rather MUST be, THE summer hit of 2005. Think Air, think Phoenix, think Franz Ferdinand and think Pixies, forget all of this again and then it's best if you don't think at all, just feel instead -- the intelligent emotion, the euphoric warmth, the powerful, radiant music. Is it the pop event of this year? Yes. Is it a catchy tune? Yes. Is it a track that you cant get Out of your head? Yes. Is it the forerunner of a fantastic future classic album? Yes."

"Since the late eighties A Guy Called Gerald has been a force in the world of electronic music. When the history of postmodern dance music is written he is ubiquitous: his visions, his stylistic versatility, and musical open mindedness had a huge influence on the development of global dance culture. Very early on he experimented with techno and acid house and helped pioneer the style that was later called drum n'bass. And now the man from Manchester presents his newest album, To All Things What They Need. Again, A Guy Called Gerald has produced a piece of sonic innovation. For To All Things What They Need, A Guy Called Gerald freed himself from all musical barriers and genre fixations. The groove fundament on which his melodies rest freely varies from track to track, ignoring the common rhythmic formats. Masterly, A Guy Called Gerald fuses oriental harmony fragments with electronic sounds, combining the spoken word poetry of Ursula Rucker with a jazz beat or diving into beat-free musical depths where an intense, soulful sensation reverberates. To All Things What They Need is an album that is shaped by a gentle and deep atmosphere that exudes an irresistible sensuality."

"David 'Brun' Brown and James Taylor, as the British duo Swayzak, created the definition of minimal dub-techno with a penchant for vocals. What began with 'Snowboarding in Argentina', developed further with 'Himawari' and reached a climax with 'Dirty Dancing' now receives the fourth much-expected title, 'Loops from The Bergerie'. This marks the first time that Swayzak have taken the step of bringing live vocals to the stage and underlines even more the importance of vocals in their songs. Loops From the Bergerie points the way forward for Swayzak. What may look like a retro step backwards technically proves to be a musical step forward. This sign of maturity, with a deep-rooted sound, raises the Brits from laptop heroes to real producers. Swayzak has finally come of age."

"Originally a graphic designer, Jackson first gained musical acclaim as the mastermind behind hip hop act The Brotherhood and the founder of seminal label Bite It!. In 2001, Playgroup released its self-titled debut album, unleashing a flurry of acclaim. Mashing up funk, punk, hip hop and new wave into a funky bouillabaisse of beats with guest appearances by reggae star Shinehead, indie pioneer Edwyn Collins, and Le Tigres Kathleen Hanna, the Playgroup project is positive and uplifting music with an underground feel and some serious pop appeal. For his DJ Kicks installment, Trevor Jackson came up with a selection that reflects many of his musical influences from the past. You'll find all time heroes like the Human League and KC Flightt as well as current hot shots like New York's Metro Area and no-wave revivalists The Rapture, original punk-funksters The Flying Lizards, Manchesters J-Walk, and the wicked I:Cube Mix of Ana Rago. Trevor Jackson blends music from more than two decades of club and dance culture into a superbly funked up mix."

"The second release from the Bodily Functions album. The track numbers among the highlights of a tremendous album and once more features Dani Siciliano on vocals. Along with the original of 'Suddenly', there are also two very inspired interpretations by 2 producer friends. There's a funk-filled off-the-wall interpretation of 'Back to the Start' by France's Mr Oizo, while Japanese producer Nobukazu Takemura delivers a rare remix: a fantastic rework of 'Addiction'. As a bonus track, the 12" also features a great Herbert re-dub of the title piece."

"Manchester's brightest production team have been relentlessly working on their new Stud!o K7 Sleepwalking album for the last 12 months. The Rae & Christian sound has undoubtedly progressed. Due to their extensive experience playing live, the sound has become more musical. Possibly, because they know their instruments and equipment better than ever and possibly their new wealth of live experience solidified their creative partnership even further. Nevertheless, their individual talents -- Mark Rae as DJ, beat merchant and lyricist and Steve Christian as the music maker and production-wizard, have become more versatile. Their magical ability to combine Hip Hop ethics with traditional song writing skills combined with 21st century production technology has become more refined."
