Brownswood Bubblers Six Brownswood***

Brownswood is Gilles Peterson's label, the imprint where the BBC Radio One DJ, Talkin' Loud founder and longstanding champion of new soul and jazz acts introduces the rest of us to his latest discoveries. Peterson's sixth compilation highlighting new sounds of the underground is rich and diverse and whets one's appetite to find out more about certain acts. Anyone who digs the lovely pastoral jazz of Nick Rosen's Ancestral Echoes, for instance, will find plenty more where that came from on his Into the Skyalbum (2010). There's also much to admire in the breezy, slo-mo soul of Danish singer Elou Elan's Sunday Times, while London- based MC Ghostpoet shows why he's one for the future with the hypnotic charms of Liines.
