This week’s trawl through the megahertz throws up some sizzling summer dance floor heat from Ireland, Germany and New Zealand.

First up is the collaboration between Icelandic queen Mr Silla and uncrowned Irish electronica king New Jackson. Five years in the making, Holding On was worth the wait.

DJ Koze’s sound-clash with Sophia Kennedy is equally intoxicating as is the latest release from Eden Burns who has been making banging boom tunes from his bedroom on the South Island of New Zealand for the past few years.

There’s further evidence of why London remains a hotspot of musical endeavour and adventure via some captivating new electronic sounds from GAIKA and Ivy Lab as well as a pair of deeply soulful releases from new jazz pioneers Sons of Kemet and Sarathy Korwar.

The simplicity and beautiful mysteries at the heart of Kareem Ali’s productions from Phoenix, Arizona are another topic of discussion.

We also visit Belfast for a listen to the freshest offerings yet from prolific producer Cbakl and the Glass Craic label.
