The window display was lined with delicious baked goods of all shapes and sizes; just one of the many food shops and vendors that tempted passersby to part with their money. It was enough to make anyone salivate — the wonderful smells drifted from all angles stealing your attention from one stall to another. If only they could sample a slice of everything.

London's Control Freak Recordings are back for their first release of the year, bringing another batch of tracks for the body and mind on their second V/A compilation. Titled 'Psycho/Soma' the release features 12 tracks stretching from broken techno to trippy rollers and fast-paced percussive cuts, with a portion of the profits from the release being split between three prominent UK mental health charities: Mind, YoungMinds & Black Minds Matter. Alongside the release, the label have worked with graphic artist Alex Vissaridis to create a limited run of bespoke long-sleeve T-Shirts, which can be purchased via their Bandcamp.
