The sampler follows the ‘samplee’, to kick off this week’s playlist; Idris Muhammad’s Could Heaven Ever Be Like This, from our Album of the Week Turn This Mutha Out is followed by Jamie xx’s Loud Places, in the perfect demonstration of sampling brilliance. We hear a couple of jazzy highlights from Dominic J Marshall’s Fire-breathing Lion, followed by some funk, soul and disco from the likes of Erykah Badu, Curtis Mayfield and Funkadelic. Finally, we round things off with some music from the late Roberta Flack. New releases this week come from Greentea Peng, Bakar, Everything is Recorded, Sam Fender and 44th Move.
