MusicRadar's got your back Our team of expert musicians and producers spends hours testing products to help you choose the best music-making gear for you. Find out more about how we test.

From the moment you see the front cover (a clear homage to the first album from Guru's Jazzmatazz series) you've got a pretty good idea of what the deal is here.

Wailing sax, outstanding live drums and funky grooves are the main attractions, played by a bunch of musicians who've performed with various Blue Note legends.

It's all served up in every format imaginable along with a bunch of construction kits for good measure.

Perfect for producers of laid-back Hip Hop or downtempo Breakbeat and maybe even anyone trying to come up with a unique twist on the resurgent Bristol sound.
