In a nutshell: Impress your friends with this fidgety trawl through what's hot to trot this summer in the world of beats, soul and all that falls therein. All the legwork has been done by grand conductor Gilles Peterson. Not only does the range of styles impress, but it's the sheer dynamism in the selection that sets this cross cut through beats du jour apart from all other radical concept comps.

Imagine if you will: Talkin' loud, hearing lots and telling everyone…over and over again…only without them nodding off.
