Dutch label SlapFunk finally return to their ever-essential Raw Joints series for the first time in over a year, and this time the project has expanded to a monster-sized triple pack of intriguing club variations. Amongst the different delights to be found tucked away on Raw Joints #5 are the meditative garage tones of Lopaski, the urgent minimal house of Pascal Benjamin, the chopped up breakbeat funk of Pete Bandit & Wouter S and the trippy techno of Nick Beringer. With 14 tracks that all stand proud on their own, this is an essential purchase for anyone wanting some head-tweaking, off-kilter house and techno jams.
