‘ROSEBUD’ is the tenth album from Current Joys,
the solo project of Surf Curse drummer Nick
Rattigan - and his boldest reinvention yet.
Written during a difficult period and reworked
alongside producer never goodbye (Danny
Dwyer), the record transforms a set of strippedback slowcore songs into a maximalist collage of
nu metal, screamo, electronica, hip-hop, powerpop, emo and darkwave.
Big anthemic hooks shouted through layers of
static, punk chord progressions chewed up by
digital manipulation and moments of striking
tenderness underneath the noise.
It’s also a milestone: ‘ROSEBUD’ is the first album
Rattigan is self-releasing, via his own imprint They
Are Evil, after years on Secretly Canadian - a
return to the artistic freedom of his early
Bandcamp days.

TIN081 lands from Norwegian ‘V.Christie’ & Dane ‘ELOQ’ who connected via TikTok before quickly realising in ELOQ’s Copenhagen studio that their connection was gonna spark something truly incendiary.

By now we all know about the Danish capital's bass fuelled garage scene – thanks in no small part to their now TIN label mate & ATW boss Main Phase amongst others – well now it’s time to add ELOQ & V.Christie to the list of Copenhagen based producers shaping the future of the sound. Over four tracks the pair show a preternatural ability for speed garage and bassline and a deep grasp of rolling two-step flow. Their sound is full of life and is pushing UKG forward.

Run the tracks…

‘Coldsnap’ is a bouncy af Speedy G chune, packed full of stabs and vocal chops but it’s the bassline that makes this one cook. The bones are classic speed garage but that bassline is something new. Chef’s kiss.

When ‘Fools’ starts with that phone ringing and you know these two are up to no good. Icy, crowd tested and with a vertigo inducing buildup this is club-ready, peak-time business. And when that bassline collides with the reese… Ignition.

‘Nightshifter’ is a BIG WARPER.. ominous and spooky. Watch for the bells.. annnd the bassline.

Copenhagen’s contributions to electronic music are many. The Copenhagen ‘Fast Techno’ sound championed by artists like Mama Snake & Courtesy has been long applauded so when ELOQ & V.Christie close out the EP in euphoric style it makes total sense. ‘Anchor’ is a fast, hands up crescendo of hard house, trance and speed garage. A proper set closer. Hug your pals. Another lethal combo: huge chords & reese bass.

From heads down to hands up ELOQ & V.Christie got you covered.

Gilbert O’Sullivan kehrt mit *On The Record* zurück, einem neuen Studioalbum eines der beständigsten
Songwriter Großbritanniens.
Mit einer Karriere, die sich über sechs Jahrzehnte erstreckt, und Klassikern wie „Alone Again (Naturally)“,
„Clair“ und „Get Down“ bleibt Gilbert eine einzigartige Stimme im britischen Songwriting. Geschätzt von
Künstlern wie Paul Weller und Tim Burgess, begeistern sein Witz, seine Wärme und sein melodisches
Handwerk nach wie vor ein Publikum aus alten und neuen Fans.
Auf *On The Record*, das Gilbert gemeinsam mit Andy Wright (Simple Minds, Eurythmics, Jeff Beck)
produziert hat, beweist er erneut sein Gespür für tiefgründige Texte, eingängige Melodien und den unaufdringlichen Humor, der seine bemerkenswerte Laufbahn prägt. Zu den Höhepunkten zählen das soulige „It’s
Me“ mit seinem unverkennbaren 70er-Jahre-Flair und Anklängen an Steely Dan, das Duett „Is That You?“
mit Andrea Corr (The Corrs) sowie das augenzwinkernd-autobiografische „Growing Old Disgracefully“, in
dem Gilbert scherzt, dass „unanständiges Altern weitaus besser ist, als brav und gesund zu bleiben“. Das
von Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck, Belle and Sebastian) abgemischte Album verbindet Intimität mit einer opulenten, zeitlosen Produktion und rückt Gilberts Stimme und Songwriting in den Mittelpunkt.
Mehr als 55 Jahre nach seinem Debütalbum *Himself* veröffentlicht, ist *On The Record* ein weiterer
Beweis für Gilbert O’Sullivans anhaltende Kreativität. Ehrlich, melodisch und unverkennbar eigenständig,
schlägt das Album ein willkommenes neues Kapitel in einer der markantesten Songwriter-Karrieren der
britischen Popmusik auf.

„I Thought We Were The Same“ ist das neue Studioalbum der gefeierten norwegisch-schwedischen Sängerin, Songwriterin, Produzentin und Independent-Künstlerin Ane Brun.
Mit ihrem bislang persönlichsten und fesselndsten Album – und ihrer ersten neuen Musik seit sechs Jahren –
kehrt Brun zurück: „I Thought We Were The Same“ ist eine kraftvolle Sammlung von Songs, die Themen
wie Vertrauen, Identität, Verrat und die bemerkenswerte menschliche Fähigkeit zum Neuanfang beleuchten.
Musikalisch zählt das Album zu Bruns experimentierfreudigsten Werken. Entstanden im Laufe von drei
lebensverändernden Jahren, markiert es ein eindrucksvolles neues künstlerisches Kapitel für die skandinavische Musikerin. Brun erweitert die Klangwelt ihres gefeierten Albums „After the Great Storm“ (2020) und
wagt sich in eine noch mutigere Electronic-Pop-Landschaft vor; dabei verbindet sie zutiefst intimes Songwriting zu einer Musik, die zu den unmittelbarsten und emotional berührendsten Stücken ihrer erfolgreichen
Karriere gehört.

Anlässlich ihres zehnjährigen Jubiläums legen Bad Suns ihr Debütalbum *Disappear Here* neu auf. Diese
besondere Ausgabe erscheint in der Farbvariante „Neon Coral White Mist“. Zudem ist der bei Fans beliebte
Song „This Was a Home Once“ auf der Vinyl-Ausgabe enthalten – damit ist er erstmals überhaupt physisch
erhältlich

Roma ist die fünfte und letzte Konzertaufnahme von Keith Jarretts hochgelobter finaler Europa-Solotournee
im Sommer 2016. Sie entstand am 12. Juli im Saal Santa Cecilia im Parco della Musica in Rom. Mit
einer Musik, die sich selbst innerhalb dieser außergewöhnlichen Reihe deutlich hervorhebt, bildet sie den
Abschluss dieses Kapitels. Wie die italienische Tageszeitung ‚La Repubblica‘ damals treffend schrieb:
„Letztlich zelebriert Jarrett ein zeitloses Ritual – eines, das in mancher Hinsicht so alt ist wie die Menschheit
selbst. Er würdigt den schöpferischen Akt, die spontane Komposition, und tut dies vor Publikum, indem
er mit den Zuhörern die Spannung und Freude des Entdeckens teilt.“ Der Verlauf dieses Abends, zugleich
vertraut und doch eigenständig, entfaltete sich nach einer ganz eigenen inneren Logik: Zunächst wird
die Leinwand freigeräumt und mit reicher Chromatik gefüllt, bevor der vertraute Anschlag und lyrische
Passagen unerwarteten kontrapunktischen Wendungen, Momenten von kristalliner Lyrik und Abschnitten
rhythmischer Eindringlichkeit weichen. So entsteht ein großes musikalisches Architekturgefüge. So wie
die Konzerte in Budapest, Bordeaux, München und Wien jeweils eine eigene musikalische Landschaft
offenbarten, präsentiert Roma nun noch ein letztes Mal eine weitere – unverwechselbar und ganz von ihrer
eigenen Art.

„Nur wenige zeitgenössische, vom Jazz beeinflusste Sängerinnen schaffen es, so intensiv nach sich selbst
zu klingen und dabei aus einer solchen Vielfalt von Genres, Sprachen und kulturellen Hintergründen zu
schöpfen wie die in Albanien geborene Sängerin Elina Duni“, hat schon der britische Guardian festgestellt
– und Reaching for the Moon spannt nun erneut einen weiten musikalischen Bogen. Es ist Dunis dritte
Aufnahme mit dem britischen Gitarristen Rob Luft. Während Lost Ships und A Time To Remember ihr
gemeinsam geleitetes Quartett in den Mittelpunkt stellten, tritt hier das Kernduo in den Vordergrund –
in einem Programm, das mit dem Titelsong aus der Feder von Irving Berlin beginnt und mit Ornette
Colemans „Lonely Woman“ endet. Dazwischen hören wir Eigenkompositionen von Duni und Luft, traditionelle Musik aus dem Kosovo, ein Wiegenlied der persischen Sängerin Mahsa Vahdat, eine Ballade des
italienischen Singer-Songwriters Pino Daniele, das Kunstlied „Les Berceaux“ des französischen Komponisten Gabriel Fauré, Filmmusikthemen des japanischen Komponisten Shigeru Umebayashi und des polnischen
Komponisten Krzysztof Komeda – und mehr. „Unser Duo, unser Projekt, ist eine musikalische Reise“, sagt
Elina. „Wir nutzen verschiedene Stile und verschiedene Sprachen, um die Distanz zwischen Menschen zu
überbrücken.“ Dunis Einfallsreichtum als Sängerin wird dabei von Lufts instrumentalen Fähigkeiten hervorragend ergänzt: Der Gitarrist bewegt sich mühelos zwischen unterschiedlichen Stilwelten, umhüllt Melodien
sanft, unterstreicht den emotionalen Ausdruck der Songtexte und vertieft die atmosphärische Wirkung der
Stücke. Reaching for the Moon wurde im Juni 2025 in den Studios La Buissonne im Süden Frankreichs
aufgenommen. Das von Manfred Eicher produzierte Album erscheint zeitgleich mit einer Europatournee
von Elina Duni und Rob Luft, die Konzerte in Italien, Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich, der Schweiz
und Albanien umfasst.

Die bei Jazzfans legendäre Serie BRITISH JAZZ EXPLOSION wird mit einem weiteren Kultalbum des
britischen Jazz fortgesetzt. Es wurde in den Abbey Road Studios von den originalen Stereo-Analogbändern
gemastert und auf 180-g-Vinyl gepresst. Enthalten ist ein vierseitiges Faltblatt mit Abbildungen der Bandkartons und einem neuen Text des Jazz-Experten und Serienproduzenten Tony Higgins.
“Child Song”, das 1970 auf Deram erschienene Debütalbum von Henry Lowther, zählt zu den gesuchten
Raritäten des britischen Jazz. Der Trompeter, Flügelhornist und Violinist spielte unter anderem mit John
Mayall, Manfred Mann und der Keef Hartley Band, mit der er 1969 beim legendären Woodstock Festival
auftrat. Auf “Child Song” verbindet Lowther Post-Bop und freie Improvisation mit den neuen elektrischen
Klängen des Jazz-Rock. E-Piano, E-Bass und Violine sorgen für einen bemerkenswert modernen Sound,
der Einflüsse von Miles Davis’ “In A Silent Way” und “Bitches Brew” erkennen lässt.
Ein faszinierendes Dokument aus der kreativen Hochphase des British Jazz – erstmals seit 1970 wieder
auf Vinyl.

Die spektakulärste Veröffentlichung zu John Coltranes 100. Geburtstag im Jahr 2026 kommt jetzt: ein
bislang von vielen Gerüchten begleitetes Kapitel seines Vermächtnisses wird erstmals zugänglich gemacht!
Die 4-LP-Box und das 3-CD-Set ”The Tiberi Tapes” versammeln bislang unveröffentlichte Live-Mitschnitte,
die der Saxofonist Frank Tiberi zwischen 1960 und 1964 insgeheim in Clubs in New York und Philadelphia
aufnahm. Mehr als sechs Jahrzehnte blieben die Bänder weitgehend ungehört. Sie dokumentieren Coltrane
gemeinsam mit seinen legendären Mitstreitern in einer der aufregendsten Phasen seiner künstlerischen Entwicklung.
Dies sind keine konventionellen Konzertmitschnitte – ihr historischer Klang kann nicht mit Studioaufnahmen verglichen werden, zeugt aber von den abenteuerlichen Umständen ihrer Entstehung. Dafür kommt
man als Hörer John Coltrane auf der Bühne erstaunlich nahe: suchend, experimentierend und seine Musik
immer weiter vorantreibend. Für die Jazzwelt ist diese Veröffentlichung ein außergewöhnliches Ereignis!
Ausstattung 4-LP-Box: schwarze 140-g-LPs in einer stabilen Lift-off-Box, dazu ein LP-großes Booklet
mit ausführlichen Essays von Ashley Kahn, Lauren Du Graf, Lewis Porter und Mastering Engineer Kevin
Reeves
Ausstattung 3-CD-Set: Digipack plus Booklet mit o.g. Inhalt

Im Jahr 1973 folgte nach dem Debutalbum von Roxy Music das zweite Album mit dem Titel „For Your
Pleasure“. Für die Produktion des Albums konnte die Band mehr Zeit im Studio verbringen, was zu einer
aufwändigeren und experimentelleren Produktion führte. Brian Enos Mischung aus Tape-Loop-Effekten ist
in „The Bogus Man“ unüberhörbar und „Do the Strand“ wird als die typische Roxy Music-Hymne gefeiert.
Das Album schaffte es bis auf Platz 4 in den britischen Albumcharts.
„For Your Pleasure” wurde von Miles Showell in den Abbey Road Studios neu gemastert. Um die verbesserte
Audioqualität widerzuspiegeln, wurde das Artwork überarbeitet und mit einer glänzenden Laminierung versehen, sodass das Album nicht nur eine Schallplatte, sondern ein Kunstwerk ist.

Rubbermaidxxx is a recent music performance project by the Irish artist Anna McCarthy, rather than simply the title of one autonomous artwork. Rubbermaidxxx is a character or unstable identity, an emancipatory underdog with a heart for daredevilry. The project sits naturally within McCarthy’s larger practice, which moves between drawing, assemblage, happenings and collective actions.

Clad in a black balaclava and fetish climbing wear, she abseils from buildings before entering the stage. For the first performance in New York City, she was invited by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio to perform at his club Francis Kite Club in Alphabet City, NYC and since has continued to make a name for herself hanging off façades, singing, dancing and mopping the floor together with her performance collaborators Miss Philip a.k.a. Philip Errico and Michael Tapper at Pianos NYC, Kottbusser Tor and Genezarethkirche Berlin or the Villa Stuck Museum in Munich.

The album was produced in Munich and New York in 2025 in collaboration with her brother Nick McCarthy (Franz Ferdinand) and Anton Kaun (Rumpeln). What started as a quick improv turned into a high-energy 4-hour session of the siblings playing manic ball with beats, bass, guitars and vocals resulting in what laid the basis to this album. In the weeks following, Anna McCarthy, who is known for her cut-up production style, reminiscent of albums such as White Noise or Flying Lotus, continued to develop the vocals, performance and music by mixing in an amalgam of field recordings with her narrative spoken word, including sounds of protests, dollar stores or ice-cream trucks, as well as collaborating with the noise artist Rumpeln for the last two tracks of the album.

McCarthy is also known as the lyricist and singer of What Are People For? (debut 2022 on Alien Transistor) with its dystopic dance music candy-cane shows and equally humorously critical tongue-in-cheek bangers such as Bring back the Dirt, Drones or Partytime. Anna McCarthy's spoken word, social urgency and enthusiasm to experiment across mediums is comparable to other contemporaries such as Moor Mother, Miho Hatori, Gonjasufi, Tricky, or Cibo Matto.

The name itself is telling. Rubbermaidxxx evokes elasticity, artificiality, domestic labour and the commercial world of cleaning and garbage. It suggests a body capable of stretching, absorbing filth and cleaning up after society – only to revolt against the role it has been assigned.

Rubbermaidxxx is a master of deception, juggling fact and fiction as a reflection of our times – a diamond thief, a protester, or even responsible for the Louvre heist? This album invites the listener and viewer in, playfully dismantling hierarchies and power structures as she goes through a hopeful amalgam of dance, protest & love songs.

Kepler’s sound sits somewhere between deep house, garage swing and low-slung club pressure. Based in Leeds, he has developed a sound built around weighty basslines, rolling drums and an instinct for keeping ideas sounding fresh. Releases on Up The Stuss, Semi Delicious, Constant Sound and Rossi’s HOME//GRXWN. have helped establish and elevate that approach, with support from selectors including Ben UFO, Raresh, Chris Stassy, Four Tet and Interplanetary Criminal. Alongside his own productions, plus his labels Contact Music and Perspective, his Studio Orbit has grown into an online production community supporting thousands of artists, and he now returns to FUSE after his appearance alongside founder Enzo Siragusa in 2024 as part of the label’s X Series for his first solo release on the imprint.

His ‘Sunday Service’ EP brings four original cuts to digital and vinyl, moving between different shades of his UK-influenced, wide-spanning sound. ‘Inner Motion’ opens with a cosmic groove, sweeping melodies and tightly placed percussion, while ‘Jump Up Crew’, featuring MC Secret Agent, pushes into garage territory with an animated vocal presence and heavy low-end weight. On the B-side, ‘Unity’ settles into a deep, fluid rhythm that packs a punch before title track ‘Sunday Service’ journeys through hazy textures and shuffling drums for a late-night finish.

Mit "Devagar Que A Vida E Curta" präsentiert Ana Lua Caiano ihr zweites Album und führt die außergewöhnliche Verbindung aus portugiesischer Folklore, Elektronik und experimentellem Songwriting konsequent weiter. Ausgehend von einem alten Rat ihres Großvaters reflektiert die Künstlerin die Spannungen zwischen Beschleunigung und Achtsamkeit, Vergänglichkeit und Gegenwart. Traditionelle Instrumente wie Dudelsack, Flöten, Adufe und Bombo treffen auf Synthesizer, präparierte Klangobjekte und Alltagsgeräusche, die zu rhythmischen Elementen werden. Die vielschichtigen Gesangsarrangements stehen dabei im Zentrum eines Sounds, der folkloristische Wurzeln mit zeitgenössischer Produktion verknüpft. Inhaltlich kreisen die Songs um Isolation, Routine, Erschöpfung und Wandel, während die Musik zwischen Intimität und eruptiver Energie oszilliert. Mit diesem Album festigt Ana Lua Caiano ihre Position als eine der spannendsten neuen Stimmen der europäischen Musikszene.

Matu Miranda has grown up in a state of constant movement. Changing homes, cities, schools, and horizons has shaped his worldview and fueled a body of work deeply informed by themes of displacement, transformation, and belonging. With APUAMA, his second album, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist delivers his most personal work to date:a collection of songs exploring how we each construct our own sense of home through the encounters, departures, and returns that mark our lives. Driven by sensitive songwriting and organic production, APUAMA navigates a landscape of contemporary MPB, tropical folk, popular poetry, and Brazilian acoustic influences. From one song to the next, Matu charts an intimate journey where saudade is never synonymous with stagnation; instead,it becomes a driving forcethat compels him to move forward, discover, and forge connections. From the radiant landscapes of "E Bom Voltar" to the existential inquiries of "O Que Sera de Nos"-and the poetic manifesto of the title track, "Apuama"-the album tells the story of an artist learning to turn every place he visits into a form of home. The album also features notable collaborations with two of the most distinctive voices on the new Brazilian music scene.Singer-songwriter Josyaralends her sensitivity to "Ceu Azulzin," while Chico Chico joins Matu on "Estetica da Fome," a track inspired by major Brazilian cultural and social reflections. These collaborations extend the collective spirit that runs through the entire record and highlight Matu Miranda's ongoing dialogue with his artistic generation. The sound production was helmed by Leo Marques-a producer, sound engineer, and musician recognized as a key figure in Brazil's independent music scene. Marques notably won a Latin Grammy Award for his work on the album Sim Sim Sim by the group Bala Desejo, one of the most significant Brazilian records of recent years. This approach gives APUAMA a warm, vibrant, and timeless sound, allowing the songs to breathe and highlighting the richness of the acoustic arrangements. More than just a collection of songs, APUAMA is a journal of an inner journey. It is an album that speaks of movement, memory, nature, and the passing on of things-reminding us that, beyond borders, distances, and absences, there is always a place where one can feel at home.

Some music travels well. Some takes its time. And some spends a few years underwater before deciding to come back up.
Such is the case with Ksky, Saint Petersburg native, DJ, synth enthusiast and the man behind Underwater Tales. Originally released into the world with little fanfare, these tales have been keeping a rather low profile ever since. Not quite forgotten, not exactly missing, just minding their own business somewhere below the surface. Time for a little fresh air.
Now resurfacing across two records, the collection brings together familiar faces, old acquaintances and a few unexpected arrivals. Previously released material rubs shoulders with additional tracks, including Gerd Janson's extended DJ mix of New Era. A small reunion of sorts, minus the awkward conversations.
Also along for the ride is Bad Philly. A deceptively simple piece of machinery with something strangely epic under the hood. No unnecessary detours, no lengthy explanations, just one breath, one story and a direct connection to the morning dancefloor. Sometimes the shortest route is the most scenic. Music for when the night has already happened, the sun is starting to ask questions and nobody seems particularly interested in going home.
Now together at last.

Every coastline develops its own rhythm. The Adriatic is no exception.

For decades, Italy’s eastern coast has been shaped by funk, Cosmic Disco, Balearic sounds, Italo Disco, House, Latin rhythms, Brazilian music and countless other influences. Rather than blending into a single style, these musical worlds have lived side by side, constantly inspiring new generations of DJs, musicians and dancers. For more than fifteen years, Soul Fingers and Funk Rimini have explored that landscape from different perspectives. Founded by Claudio Cavallaro in 2013, Soul Fingers grew into a vinyl-driven community where groove matters more than genre. Its philosophy has always been simple: if the groove is right, genres stop mattering. Brothers Ricky and Francesco Cardelli developed Funk Rimini into a project rooted in funk, disco, live performance and electronic production. Anima Adriatica is where these two journeys meet.

The project didn’t begin with the ambition of making an album. It began behind the turntables. As DJs, Claudio Cavallaro and Ricky Cardelli found themselves constantly searching for records capable of connecting distant musical worlds inside their sets; from Afrobeat into disco, from hip hop into Latin, from Brazilian grooves into boogie, from cosmic electronics into deep funk. Sometimes those records existed. More often, they didn’t. So they stopped searching and started writing them. Not records designed to belong to one genre, but records designed to travel between genres. That space between musical worlds became Anima Adriatica.

The music grew through spontaneous jam sessions with Ricky and Francesco Cardelli, drummer Enrico Mao Bocchini and, gradually, a wider circle of musicians, singers and longtime friends, making Anima Adriatica less a traditional band than the beginning of an open collective. Recorded at SynthPosio Studio, founded by Ricky and Francesco Cardelli inside Rimini’s iconic skyscraper, the project also carries a symbolic connection to the building itself, where many Italo Disco classics (including records by Betty Miranda, The Creatures and many others) were recorded decades earlier.

Betty Miranda returns not as a nostalgic guest, but as a bridge between generations. On the title track she performs a spoken-word text written by Claudio Cavallaro, reflecting on the invisible thread connecting the Adriatic dancefloor across time. From Baia degli Angeli to Cocoricò, from the legendary clubs of Riccione to today’s independent communities gathered around projects such as Soul Fingers and Funk Rimini, the places have changed, but the dancefloor continues to tell the same story. Much like Pier Vittorio Tondelli’s Rimini captured the Adriatic through literature, Anima Adriatica imagines its soundtrack.

Brazilian musician Daniel Plentz (Selton) expands that vision on Açúcar and Alegria, bringing another coastline into the story. Across its four tracks, the EP moves naturally between analogue funk, boogie, Brazilian music, underground disco, cosmic textures and the wider Black musical tradition, with All Down The Line paying tribute to the Paradise Garage era.

Released by Bordello A Parigi, the project found its natural home through a shared love of adventurous dance music, records and club culture. More than the title of an EP, Anima Adriatica marks the beginning of an open collective; a meeting point where musicians, DJs, producers and friends continue building bridges between genres, generations and communities.

Because Anima Adriatica doesn’t live inside a genre. It lives between genres. If soul music has always reflected the places where it was born, Anima Adriatica is simply our own Adriatic Soul.

Yes, yes funky people, another super sexy, soul groove makes it onto the DYNAMITE CUTS 7” series. Took a long time get this one across the line. Two versions of the timeless classic “Take me with you”. A – Side is the one we all know, Lyn Christopher - Amazing deep bass groove and vibe. This has been released as a 7” before but on Styrene. Also bootlegged many times over the years, but here at Dynamite cuts we do it right. This official release includes the iconic sleeve, which is a beauty. To top that, our B-side we have the UK version which was released the same year. Tyrone & Carr, first released on Jam records, part of the UK label DJM, now sell for big bucks £350 +

A haunting, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond time
and place, ‘Requiem For A Village’ is Steven Wilson’s most intimate
and imaginative work yet.
Blending dark folk, rock and electronica, the album unfolds as a
continuous 54-minute ‘film for the ears’, populated by strange
archetypes and eerie folklore.
The album is narrated by David Tennant and written with Andy
Partridge (XTC).
Steven Wilson is one of contemporary music’s definitive auteurs. A
six-time GRAMMY nominee and founding member of Porcupine Tree,
Wilson’s last three solo albums have all been Top 5 in the UK. His
most recent albums have garnered career best reviews, including one
that noted Wilson had somehow pulled off the unusual trick of being
able to do whatever he wants, whilst still achieving a level of
commercial success.
A pioneer in the world of spatial audio, Wilson has recently remixed
New Order, The Who, King Crimson, Suede, XTC and Tears For
Fears among many others.

Nu Vision is a modern salon for visionary leaders, fighting for their art, standing by truths, defending voices, honoring progenitors, whilst pushing forwards towards a new paradigm. The band all have their own stories and extensive discographies, records released on labels you might know, gigs played in places you might have attended but none of that matters. This is a new beginning. A group. A collective.A movement. Nu Vision is a band in the classic do-you-believe-in-alchemy sense. Equal parts rhythm, damage, and deep feeling. Their friends at DFA noted that the album “sounds like Depeche Mode scoring a Michael Mann montage: brooding,motorik, and shot through with black-and-blue beauty.” this idea is taken further in the first video from the album for track one / side one “Time” that launches the project publically along with the albums announcement. The palette of ‘The Seed’ is defined and refined in the best way. It’s an album that opens up many pathways. Brisker, freakier tracks like “Shadow In The Dark,” “R U Serious?” and “Humanity” run towards a softer finish with “Somedays” and the seven-minute, eyeliner-smearing closing ballad, “Lullaby Garden.” These are proper songs made with vintage machines, with a sound that carries obvious influences. ’ The Seed’ pulses forward as the body of the beast is turned inside out, wearing a beating heart on its sleeve, honoring those who left us too soon - DAF’s Gabi Delgado, Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas McCarthy, Depeche Mode’s Andrew Fletcher, and Sandwell District’s Juan Mendez. It’s important to note the emotional core of ‘The Seed’ album is the song ‘Synchronicity’ that is filled with both love and regret, the story of losing a friend without properly making amends. It is unquestionably heartbreaking, but is also delivered with a pang of hope, the feeling that with so many sunrises caught, so many additions and subtractions in life, a perspective has been gained. This is no freshman effort; but rather, a masterclass in continuing sonic education, delivering a unified experience from beginning to end. A New Vision

We are in-between again: FELT founder Fergus Jones surfaces on his own label for the first time with this dreamy, dubby pair of introspective tracks featuring the hazy, elegiac vocals of Thomas Bush, back on FELT after 2023's split cassette with Princess Diana of Wales. The results of a three-day studio bender in Copenhagen, Bush's entrancing vocals gesture towards the unchangeable past and unknowable future, creating a vital, pumping circulatory system of sound, further supported by the saxophone of Italian-Danish artist Francesca Buratelli and the (vinyl debut) of New York's Yumi with a notable interjection on "Untitled (Mix 1)”.

We know there are copious amounts of PFAS in the water supply of Rotterdam, but there must be more! What else could explain the amount of talent this city provides? Foobar is yet another prime example of this phenomenon. coming of age in Burgundian Brabant and cultivated in the grimy streets of our beautiful harbour city, Foobar just has a way of looking beyond its imperfections and translating the warmer hidden sides of the city whilst still tapping into its more rugged edges in this 4 track EP, for his debut release "Shifting Phases" on WAXRDM. The title track Shifting Phases just eases you into the whole, getting you ready to face another day on the grind, that's Rotterdam baby! We work hard and we play hard, and when we play, these are the sounds we wanna play too. Proper House Music. Some serious anger management issues on Parallel Motion, hitting hard from the get go, starting off with some intimidating drums, in your face bass lines, enticing melodies & alluring vocals. All of a sudden you're 3 minutes in, and you can't even remember what got you so upset in the first place. Who said you needed to be loud to be powerful? Not us, that's for sure, and definitely not Foobar. Quiet Strength proves that point yet again, laced with the sultry vocals by ES-V, this jam just takes you even further into your own headspace, drums that keep you in motion, melodies that keep you grounded but bass lines that let you float off into the atmosphere. It's Monday again, another day at the office, cleaning apartments, trading cryptocurrencies or whatever the hell you do to make ends meet. Ahh damn, and now you remember what irritated you. Colleagues, employers, pay or the lack of it. It is a good thing you have Back on the grind to make it all sound relative, helping you forget and looking ahead at the weekend. The perfect come down track that moves forward.

The Bratislava-based band 52 Hertz Whale release their new album Present Sense Impression in a collaboration of the labels Weltschmerzen and Full Moon Forum.

Three years since their album I've Met a Lot of People, the band brings forth a lot of new ideas, finding a new resonant space, and utilising the fierceness // savageness of their live shows, in an intimate stare at contemporary guitar music.

52 Hertz Whale is a band well known in the Central European music context. Their ferocious sound, mixing the intensity of post-punk, heavy guitar wails, and melancholic // stark vocals of Dominik Prok has been tearing down the fixtures of many festivals and venues, all the while being a great example of a band driving at 200mph nonstop. On Present Sense Impression, the band, composed of Dominik Prok, Dominik Fabian, Patrik Nagy, Tomáš Tabiš and Adrián Krišák, have arrived at a record full of manifold manifestations of their live sound, but at times recalling the more marginal waves of 80s pop // rock sound. Resolute drums, heavyweight guitar and bass riffs now deem closer to the lightness of early ethereal darkwave, just to indulge in the classic melancholic heaviness they are known for only seconds after.

Some of the songs have been produced by "Prague's favorite rock'n'roll enfant terrible" Lazer Viking as well as Pulp Studio's Jakub Hríbik, and one features a special guest - the cemballo virtuoso Marcel Comendant. The traditionally stunning artwork was created by the accomplished Martin Mesaroš.

Present Sense Impression is the 20th album released under the Slovak romantic // experimental label Weltschmerzen focused on emotionally hypercharged, humanely intertwined, and acutely sounding contemporary music. This time in collaboration with the czech label Full Moon Forum. It releases August 26th on limited edition baby pink, standard edition black vinyl and on all streaming platforms.

The creation and release of this record have been supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council, and SOZA. Fullmoon Forum project was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

DJ DIE SOON is the apocalyptic alter-ego Daisuke Imamura, whose performances of masked malice have been a fixture in the Berlin underground for the past decade. His latest record My Brothel The Wind takes inspiration from Sun Ra at his most grotesque, conjuring a distorted phantasmagoria with an eclectic crew of compatriots like Rully Shabara, Sara Persico, and longtime collaborator Kiki Hitomi. Film director Hiroo Tanaka’s visual contributions in the album art, poster, and music video complete the album’s narrative, telling a story not of villainy but of phantom caprice in a dying world.
My Brothel The Wind shows DJ DIE SOON as an alchemist of distortion, transmuting the club-forward beats of his 2020 debut Kappa Slap and the seething horrorscapes of DIEMAJIN, his 2022 collaboration with Tokyo vocalist MA. Imamura’s obsession with noise stems from his upbringing in Tokyo, where he grew up hearing the deafening roar of trains every day. “The buildings were really tall, so the sounds reflected so much and it was so loud that you couldn’t even have a conversation on the phone. Hearing this noise every minute when living in this flat, it became a normal thing,” he says. While most would content themselves with avoiding loudness, DJ DIE SOON seeks to unpack its visceral potential.
DJ DIE SOON’s subterranean productions form a monstrous gestalt with the eclectic contributions of his network of co-conspirators. “Unfinished” and “Directions” are pulsating chimeras that highlight animalistic vocalizations from Hitomi and Shabara; Italian MC Franco Franco’s verses snake underneath the noisy onslaught. The tectonic textures of “Dandelion Crackers” are courtesy of multi-instrumentalist Laure Boer’s handmade stone synth. Sara Persico’s mangled vocables hang as fleshy reminders of human fragility on “SAQ4IME”; in the Hiroo Tanaka-directed music video, the track’s sonic uncanniness is made cinematic, with an ambient dread that references Hiroshi Teshigahara’s 1964 psychological thriller Woman in the Dunes.
While Sun Ra’s intergalactic Moog reached for the stars, DJ DIE SOON plunges into the depths of hell. “Everybody, Shake Your Body, We Chill At Party” feels like the sonic equivalent of a wax museum burning to the ground, rigid smiles melting into the fire. Rather than a vision of the future, My Brothel The Wind is a laugh-cry of despair in the face of a Hadean present. DJ DIE SOON confronts the world with a new hand-made mask, reborn in the ashes.

Life is like a mirror ball! The first one in a hopefully long-lived series of disco and pop influenced Super Sound Singles on Running Back, comes courtesy of the unmistakeable Gibson Brothers. Leaving their biggest wedding hits "Cuba" and "Que Sera Mi Vida" to the side, the philanthropic and smile-forcing "Ooh, What A Life" gets an extended edit service by Shan & Gerd Janson, who cut away some of the fat and make it fit for fun on contemporary dance-floors. The flip side sees them remixing and sandpapering "Heaven" into a disco-house interbred (filters and looping mandatory). To quote John Lyndon: "Disco sucks You never heard that from me."

With their sixth studio album, ASN reveal a project in full command of its identity. “Reverie Machine” moves confidently through the many shades of post-punk, grounding its sound in analogue textures while embracing the electronic foundations of dancefloor-oriented wave.

Founded by Libero Volpe in 2007, the project now features Lorenzo Ceccarelli on bass, Alessio Rossetti on guitars and Gianpaolo Cesarini on analogue synths. Together, they carry ASN’s original fascination with kosmische music, science fiction and distant futures into a fully realised interplay of synthesizers, guitars and bass.

Across the eight tracks that make up this outstanding album, dreamlike instrumental passages meet darker songs shaped by evocative vocals, allowing atmosphere and melody to guide the journey. Rooted in the ’80s yet driven by its own imagination, “Reverie Machine” brings these influences together with the assurance and depth of a band at its most mature.

Originally released in Japan in the early 1990s, "Make Me Know It" offers a glimpse into a moment when reggae and lovers rock were taking root in unexpected places. The record pairs Chieko Beauty's understated vocal style with Miyazaki Izumi aka Dub Master X's production, resulting in a sound that feels equally informed by Jamaican traditions and Tokyo's rapidly expanding musical landscape. Built around a subtle interpolation of Manuel Göttsching's E2-E4 – already immortalised by Sueño Latino – the record brings together musical traditions that, on paper at least, have little reason to meet. Chieko Beauty would go on to become one of the defining voices of Japanese reggae, collaborating with artists including Mad Professor, Yann Tomita and Emerson Kitamura. This 7" revisits an early chapter in that story

not many artists are able to develop a distinct sonic identity releasing just 5 solo records. through his selective output in the course of 5 years on nina kraviz's Trip, vladimir dubyshkin gained not only an army of loyal fans analysing his live sets for new music, he also inspired many who followed and continued to develop his unique sound.

his tracks, many of which became underground hits like "lady of the night", "ticket to childhood" or "russian porn magazine", always stand out and are immediately recognisable. be it weird syncopated euro dance reminiscent bangers with crazy vocal snaps or haunting hypnotic beauties on a techno side. his music always has that genius dubyshkin groove, a pinch of irony and the ability to make just anyone dance, from a small underground club to a huge festival dancefloor. this universal appeal ensures his tracks resonate across sound systems of all sizes, embedding themselves in the listener's consciousness long after the music stops.

on "ivanovo night luxe", his first double ep on Trip, vladimir sounds as amazingly unhinged as ever embarking on a surreal journey, from the eerie echoes of a haunted funfair ride to the core of a peak-time set.

"ivanovo night luxe" continues to captivate and intrigue, solidifying dubyshkin's standing as an artist of unwavering integrity and reminding us that sometimes 'less is more'.

Ghettomania teams up with the Galaxie Radio residents for another special Split EP – Hardtechno meets Raw &
Hypnotic Basement Techno.

It’s as sure as night follows day, one of the last truly reliable things in these uncertain times, a rock in the storm of information overload, and still one of the best things you can make from PVC: The new TOTAL compilation is here!

The cheerful opener “Xtasy” comes from the up-and-coming Cologne-based DJ H0TLINE. If it says ‘Ecstasy’ on the label, that’s exactly what’s inside. The term ‘legend’ is all too often bandied about lightly. In the case of ORLANDO VOORN, it’s almost an understatement. His ‘So Deep Remix’ is a goosebumps-inducing masterpiece in its purest form. Simply wow. FRANKEY & SANDRINO haven’t visited us for a while, but their key still fits the lock. Watch out – “Disruption” might expand your consciousness! Ah, nobody grapples so beautifully with life’s big questions as TEE MANGO, but what would the world be without melancholy? A Disneyland of triviality! TEAM 85E, newly formed around JÖRG BURGER, takes on a classic from the German songbook by Ton, Steine, Scherben and opens hearts with the same ease as others open tins of beer. Speaking of hearts, MICHAEL MAYER pays tribute to the successful Artemis 2 lunar mission, as a small thank-you for reminding us that it should really always be about love. SOG, aka WOLFGANG VOIGT, agrees wholeheartedly. Sometimes all it takes is a bass drum, eight notes and a bit of love for total satisfaction. ROBAG WRUHME does what he does best: luring us down the proverbial rabbit hole like the White Rabbit, just not quite so frantically. JÜRGEN PAAPE, together with FENJA LUDWIG, doesn’t pull a rabbit out of the hat, but rather a modern dub-techno hit. We watch in amazement as a new genre takes shape. Finally, it’s time to sit back and relax with REINHARD VOIGT and just let things be. Cocktail or beer? The main thing is: it’s cold.

Although Shoot Your Shot sits slightly under the radar compared to Divine’s signature anthems such as You Think You’re A Man, I’m So Beautiful, Walk Like A Man and Native Love, this remix stands proudly alongside them. Liebrand injects the track with a driving Hi-NRG pulse, unmistakable Italo-disco flourishes and a powerful club groove, while Divine’s larger-than-life vocal performance and the unforgettable spoken-word alphabet breakdown remain front and centre.

On the flip, Liebrand delivers an inspired bonus, seamlessly blending the music from Divine’s worldwide club classic Native Love with the vocals from Shoot Your Shot, one of the artist’s biggest European hits. The result is a brilliantly executed hybrid that captures the excitement and creativity of the late-’80s remix scene while celebrating two of Divine’s most enduring recordings.

A rare glimpse into a golden era of European dance music and a testament to Ben Liebrand’s reputation as one of the most innovative remixers of his generation.

In Permanent Vacation 20th anniversary year, Joe Goddard returns to the label with You — a fivetrack EP that feels both timeless and deeply connected to the label's musical DNA. Blending disco, house, electronica and subtle folk influences, the release captures the optimistic spirit of the early 2000s while sounding effortlessly contemporary.
Across five beautifully crafted tracks, Goddard balances warm melodies, organic textures and dancefloor elegance with his unmistakable songwriting touch. The EP features three standout collaborations: Glynn joins on the uplifting "Cutting You Loose", fellow Hot Chip member Alexis Taylor lends his unmistakable voice to "Hide & Seek", while Absolute appears on the intimate closer "Gentle Man".
You is a fitting addition to the Permanent Vacation catalogue—music that looks back without nostalgia, embraces the present, and reminds us why timeless records never go out of style.

Two of Jean Carn's seminal hits combined. 'Was That All It Was' is a big hitting disco exploration with hints of Jean's gospel choir background coming to the fore. The flip houses the classic 'Don't Let It Go To Your Head' - covered on many an occasion since it's release back in '78.
