In an age of safety-first conformity, it’s a refreshing pleasure to see an artist like Gabby Young develop on her own terms. With a shock of flame-red hair and a live show that owes as much to theatrical showmanship as much as it does to musicianship, she’s become pretty difficult to pigeonhole over the course of her career. One Foot In Front Of The Other, Young’s third album, continues this uncategorisable journey. Mixing together jazz, folk, cabaret, burlesque and swing (often in the same song) and delivered by Young’s extraordinary, operatic vocals, the results manage to be quirky without annoying and accessible while remaining defiantly uncommercial.

Now releasing the third instalment of their legendary ‘Future Sound Of Egypt’ series, Aly & Fila demonstrate to a global audience yet again that they are a force to be reckoned with. Featuring an array of exceptional tunes by artists including the likes of Paul van Dyk, Bobina, Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O’Callaghan, Standerwick, Photographer and many more as well as Aly & Fila themselves, ‘Future Sound of Egypt Vol. 3’ is a delight for all that love the powerful, energetic and melodic trance that FSOE represents, and simply put, with the masters themselves handpicking all the tunes, you just can’t go wrong!
