Léonie "Lennon" (Herr 2003 Edit)

Had to put Jean Reno's character face from the Big Blue up here as I can't think of anyone cooler to match with the unimpressed vocals here. Pumping beat and an awesome hook that has all feet stomping. Big one! Plays VG++

As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, eclectics return with a brace of winter warmers, courtesy of James Rod, both of which are packing enough heat to keep us cosy until the clocks go forward. 

Boarder Pass is cosmic disco with a casual nod to Norway in the loose-limbed stomp as the bass and drums rise and fall into place with calm confidence. 

The synth sound is so warm it's like they've been rendered in pastels by a man in a sweater by an open fire. There's no soporific after effect though, the high arpeggios and throbbing bass see to that. This tune is headed for the dance floor, it's just sorting out the underfloor heating first. 

"Back to Casiopea" shares similar feel, but with the urgency turned up. Shards of guitar ricochet off the glacier walls provided by the synths, which give us a structure that's familiar yet unknown - like finding an outtake of Patrick Cowley producing Tangerine Dream or digging out an hitherto unseen John Carpenter project and realising that it has a previously unheard soundtrack to kill for. 

In fact, Cowley and Carpenter are key touchstones. There's a live feel to these tracks that accentuates the human element. This may be machine music on first reading, but it oozes soul, bleeds spirit, and that comes from a composer who understands perfectly how to place himself at the centre of it all. -Jah Shabby

JAMES ROD - Boarder pass (OUT NOW ON ECLECTICS)

After a well received remix for Dele Sosimi last year released on London label Wah Wah 45s, Bopperson is back. This time mixing another afrobeat ambassador of even higher ranks.

Previous output has picked up praise from Tom Ravenscroft(BBC 6 Music), Worldwide FM and NTS radio. Now adding another African inspired heater to his toolbox and a free download too!

On this occasion Fela Kuti's 'Unknown Soldier' is at his mercy. Speeding the track up and adding a relentless 4/4 roller. DJs, make no mistake, this tried and tested boomer should be directed straight at peak time dance floors.

Enjoy the results.
