Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

Through his output both as a sound artist and through his eclectic
Dekorder record label, Black To Comm (Marc Richter) has established
himself as a singular voice of new music. His Thrill Jockey debut, 'Seven
Horses For Seven Kings', is Richter's most direct and visceral to date.
A relentless sonic explorer, he approaches the studio as his instrument,
using sampling, analogue production and digital manipulation to sculpt
audio fragments into surprising new shapes. Samples from Richter's
contemporaries like German composer Nils Frahm are bent and
compounded with elements of early recorded music and medieval song,
creating pieces that transcend time and genre. Richter blurs the lines
between organic instrumentation and digital production to the extent
that the two become inseparable.
'Seven Horses For Seven Kings' was completed during a particularly
prolific period for Richter. Working on a broad range of commissions
since his last album - from writing for film and theatre works to
composing for art installations, apps and sleep music - generated a flurry
of new ideas and influences. Extensive touring would equally come to
inform a key shift in Richter's music, simulating the raw, unpredictable
energy of live performances on record. While rhythm has been largely
absent from previous Black To Comm releases, here the music seems
totally bound to it. The album's breathtaking pace drives Richter's music
to new levels of intensity.
'Liberated from any one set of formal constraints, Richter uses his many
resources to conjure delicate effects of mood and graded shading.' -
Pitchfork
'Marc Richter's music follows no line but its own. That's why it's a
disservice to simply call it drone, as Black To Comm curves in multiple
planes.' - NPR
'Black To Comm is... like an abandoned museum of late-Twentieth
Century instruments whose exhibits are still running at half power.' -
New Yorker

Guy & Howard explore a depth of influences across these five special tracks which draw from their love of African rhythms, deep house, disco and vocal jazz.
'All of these tracks are sample based and we wanted to delve into genres that we hadn't really experimented with in the past. What we ended up with worked so well together as a set - uplifting, upbeat and danceable, and it made sense to put them all out now in one go.' -Disclosure
The Moonlight LP consolidates all these releases and is available as an exclusive limited edition vinyl release, out on December the 7th.

Family is a sometimes great, if big, notion. Hard to sustain, most often dysfunctional. At LDDLM, we do not put pressure on anyone, and certainly not ourselves. But bounds are sometimes tightened, some artists we would never consider ours, but most certainly as closed friends.

This is the 3rd EP (a house record) by Antoine Harispuru aka GOLDEN BUG but the first, excitement renewed, in company of IN FIELDS.

They push the boundaries of GB's trademark ghost funk on this EP: BONES features once again Diego Hdez for a smacked out yet epic pop number (we would not call it shoegaze). CRACKS dissolves its ethnic funk into pure psychedelia, SHAKES dubbing itself out into oblivion. All in all, 3 strong bongs. Finally FANTASTIC TWINS (Hippie Dance/Optimo/Microdosing) builds her own wall of sound, expanding BONES into a mind bending prison.

Turn on, tune in, never drop out.

Limited Lenticular 10y Anniversary Edition w/ heavyweight vinyl, printed inner sleeve + digital companion album of unreleased demoes and outtakes from the album

Late of the Pier announce a special 10th anniversary edition of their cult debut album Fantasy Black Channel, produced by Erol Alkan and released in 2008 to great acclaim. Fittingly, the reissue - released on a limited lenticular sleeve, pressed on to heavyweight vinyl and accompanied by a digital companion album of unreleased demoes and outtakes from the album recording sessions. It's set for release through Alkan's Phantasy Sound label, landing in stores on January 18th, 2019.

LOTP (Sam Eastgate, Andrew Faley, Ross Dawson and Sam Potter) were a band of inter-dimensional musicians who landed in the late noughts, whose wild journey took them from the quiet North West Leicestershire countryside to the stages of Coachella, Tokyo and beyond, touring with the likes of Soulwax and Justice. Their music was a mutant take on pop that described the chaos of being a teenager by looking forwards and backwards over and over again until the present moment started to make sense. Following the release of Fantasy Black Channel they put out singles 'Blueberry' and 'Best In The Class' in 2010, picking up fans from Mike Skinner to Dave Grohl along the way. Talking in a 2014 interview, Grohl exclaimed, 'They blew my fucking mind. They're called Late of the Pier. They made one record and disappeared. They use crazy computers and then they rock and it sounds like dubstep for one minute, then it's a crazy prog thing, and it's like, 'Wow'.'

Light Up the Night is the fourth album by the California-based duo Brothers Johnson, released in 1980. The album topped the U.S. R&B albums chart and reached number five on the pop albums chart. The single, 'Stomp!', became a dance hit, reaching number one on both the R&B singles and disco charts. The song 'This Had to Be' featured the King of Pop... Michael Jackson.

NADUVE is a real hippie. Not one of those you meet at Wholefoods in Stokey, I mean a gentle soul oozing psychedelia. He 's a floating fixture in the 'second generation' Tel Aviv producers (not in age nor talent) LDDLM met through the Red Axes connection, a very tight self-gravitating crew of friends.

I have pictures in my head of Naduve, very lanky, bare chest with a slightly Aladdin waistcoat but do not get fooled, the 'shamanic' appearance hides a much deeper music than the dross that now entertains some of the white rich crowd in a certain spot of the Nevada desert.

Is it trance Is it tribal weirdness It's most definitely as 'who cares' as we like it. BACK TO WORK has been a firm fixture for us, a strange off kilter bleep homage to an imaginary Sheffield. PAKANA TANA is why Naduve shines at sunrise, whilst ZE HAZMAN shows us why is he is also full moon. Finally the XEN (more with her very, very soon) REVOX version of BACK TO WORK could almost be a Rimini circa 1990 anthem.

Much love from LDDLM as ever.

6-track 12' limited edition EP
1 smash hit single, originally from Blondie's breakthrough hit album 'Parallel Lines'
Features remixes, demo versions and unreleased alternative version.
This release is the first trailer for the definitive Blondie box set to be released in 2019
The song that burst Blondie out of the bowels of the Bowery to #1 on the charts, 'Heart of Glass' was the pivotal moment in punk's choreographed slam-dance with the mainstream. Inspired by Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, Blondie transformed their campy 'Once I Had A Love' into a Roland-driven juggernaut and never looked back.
Explored and exploded via six distinct versions remastered from the original analogue tapes, the history of 'Heart of Glass' is documented here in a copious essay and its art reimagined by noted American illustrator Shepard Fairey.
"With me it's a psychic thing that has to do with the beat. The 4/4 heartbeat rhythm has a calming effect on the listener. It's popular because it's biological." Debbie Harry

Following his previous releases on respected imprints such as Optimo Trax and last year's remix of Romanthony's 'Give U Up' on Glasgow Underground, Jasper introduces his own label with two of his most ID'd weapons over the last few months, 'Crypto' and 'These Are The Beats'.

The lead track 'Crypto' is a hypnotic builder showcasing a new, musical maturity expertly applied to his own productions. Digging deeper into the house and techno sounds he has been playing around the world since his early twenties, his heads down production sound is inspired by deeper moments on the dancefloor, whilst retaining the energy his own DJ sets are internationally renowned for.

On the flip 'These Are The Beats' rolls out more hypnotic lead lines and drum machine rolls to further the themes established by Crypto, plunging the dancer into a deeper state of consciousness without forgetting the dancefloor energy needed to hold your attention in the early hours of the morning.

The sound of Jasper's recent productions are the result of years of musical development; birthed in the basements of Subclub and refined the world over. Mitchell Street Records is a reflection of his own musical tastes, an outlet to showcase the music he loves to play.

Paris - Brazzaville - Kinshasa - Abidjan - Douala.

A celebration of the underground Pan-African music scene centred around Paris in the 80s featuring never-before-reissued productions and dancefloor sure-shots taking in new forms of dancefloor-ready Rumba, Bikutsi, Soukous, Boogie and more.

In the early 80s a perfect storm of social, technological, political and cultural developments brought about a unique music scene centred around Paris, away from the major labels and pop charts. Musicians, ideas and styles flew between the small independent studios and labels of the French capital and Francophone Africa and the Caribbean, experimenting with new technology and drawing in a dizzying array of influences to soundtrack clubs, bars and radio stations.

Comes with 28 page magazine format booklet featuring previsouly unpublished photos from the archives of photographer Bill Akwa Bétotè as well as interviews with producers Cyriaque Bassoka and Rigo Makengo, musicians Michel Alibo, Denis Hekimian & John Jongos and Studio Caroline owner Jacky Reggan.

Deep late 80's percussion LP created to accompany contemporary jazz-dance classes. African instrumentation meets Western Jazz arrangements and computer technology. TIP!
.
Percussions Pour La Danse was a collaboration between North American born jazz & contemporary-dance instructor Tony Kennybrew and French musician Jean-Pierre Boistel. Tony, a Washington native who had studied, taught and danced professionally since the age of 12, found himself in France in the late 80's. It's here that he linked up with like-minded musician Jean-Pierre; who had recently returned from a 6-month trip to West Africa. A trip that helped refine his craft that begun in the early 70's.

The music was created for Tony to use when teaching contemporary jazz-dance classes and to accompany live performance, allowing students to 'dance slowly, rapidly and change speeds without changing the tempo!'. This work of rhythmic research was based on the 'Balance of The Walk'; in 4 times, in 6 times, in 7 times & in 3 times. In order to reach the spatial possibilities he was striving for, Jean-Pierre would also use computer assisted programming to sample and re-play his own instrumentation. This allowed him to lay down the tempo of the track and then play live over the top, which in turn gave him the freedom to add the desired instruments and effects to each song.

Jean-Pierre's use of instruments such as the Kalimba, Talking Drum & Sanza gives the album a distinctly African feel, while contemporary Jazz-dance time signatures adds a unique perspective to these traditional instrumentations creating an ethereal balance between the old and new.

Columbia Records release the debut album from French indie/dance/electronica duo. A 10 track album available on LP and CD formats. Includes the current single "Heaven" which is receiving plays across R1, Radio X, ILR plus MTV/Vevo video rotation. Ads, features, interviews and reviews across all press. Online/ social media activity. Reading/Leeds Festival slots plus UK promo trip. Poster campaign and database mailout.

'7' is David Guetta's seventh studio album. David is a master of pop / dance tracks and this album showcases both sides to him with component two under his alias 'Jack Back'. The album features 'Don't Leave Me Alone (feat. Anne-Marie)' - the current single which is working its way up the charts, 'Flames' which spent 5 x weeks in the Top 10, '2U' (feat. Justin Bieber) which was a Top 5 record and new music with huge collaborations including Jason Derulo, Black Coffee, Nicki Minaj, Jess Glynne, Stefflon Don, Lil Uzi Vert, G-Eazy, and J Balvin.

Es kommt selten vor, dass ein Musiker sich mit dem siebten Studioalbum den Neuanfang vornimmt.
Es hat sicherlich mit Paul Kalkbrenners Zielsetzung zu tun, sich mit "7" weltweit auf das nächste Wahrnehmungs-Plateau zu hieven, dass er den Reset-Knopf drückte und für das Album das bewährte Kalkbrenner-Cache löschte und alle Sounds neu generierte. "7" ist ein erfrischend offenes Album geworden, eines, dem man anmerkt, dass der Künstler sich freute, endlich wieder mit Zeit im Studio sitzen zu dürfen. Interessanterweise könnte man meinen, dass er das Album im Hinblick auf seine Live-Sets angelegt habe, so fließend erscheint es einem und so referenzreich - analog zu den Etüden eines Johann Sebastian Bachs, so Kalkbrenner, der sehr gerne Klassik hört - tauchen Themen aus dem einen Song immer wieder in anderen auf, mal offensichtlicher, mal sehr subtil. Er weiß, was er da macht und setzt das Intermezzo ganz bewusst als Steigbügelhalter für "Cloud Rider". Es ist das krasseste Stück des Albums, eine schmachtende Pathoshymne, die davon zeugt, wo die Ambitionen liegen: Aufbauend auf einem Sample aus D-Trains Song "You Are The One For Me" lässt er das ganz große Gefühlskarussell anlaufen.

UK duo Gorgon City have announced the release of their brand-new album 'Escape'; the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2014's 'Sirens' (70, 000 UK copies sold) which was the subject of worldwide acclaim thanks to productions including 'Ready For Your Love' ft MNEK (63 Spotify million streams) and 'Go All Night' ft Jennifer Hudson. Laced with a flurry of the pair's latest tracks, including 'Go Deep', as well as 'Hear That' feat D Double E, and upcoming single 'One Last Song' with JP Cooper and Yungen, 'Escape' showcases Gorgon City's sonic diversity, ranging from more downtempo summer chill-out anthems, to more club-ready productions, influenced by the duo's gruff basslines, and deep house inspired chords. The album also contains last summer's whopping hit 'Real Life'; a Balearic anthem they created with Duke Dumont which became the soundtrack to the Ibiza 2017 season, earning a spot in the UK airplay Top 10.

Underworld And Iggy Pop Announce Details Of A 4 Track Ep, Teatime Dub Encounters, Due For
Release On July 27th Via Caroline International.

While Overseeing The Soundtrack For T2 Trainspotting, Underworld's Rick Smith Arranged A
Meeting With Iggy Pop In A Room At The Savoy Hotel On London's Strand To Discuss Working On
Collaborative Music For The Filmhe first track from Teatime Dub Encounters - Bells & Circles - was premiered live as part of
Underworld's recent headline performance at the BBC Biggest Weekend Belfast. A second track -
I'll See Big - is streaming everywhere now. Something of a flipside to Bells & Circles, I'll See Big is a
wash of gorgeous ambient sound that features Iggy recounting how friends - however
dysfunctional - have saved him from a lifetime of bad decisions. The lyric for I'll See Big was
inspired by a conversation Iggy had with Danny Boyle about the subtext of both Trainspotting films.

2x12"

It's the return of the sexual vigilante Sex Judas and his trusted sidekick Ricky. This time in full album mode. Norwegian producer Tore Gjedrem of Ost & Kjex fame, channels his love of comix, bohemia and fascination with human vice, the unspoken, the Red Light districts, the alleys of the mind into his alter ego.

Sex Judas is no bad character but certainly says what it's author cannot.

'I wanted to create a world where any musical idea is possible, wound together by the world and word of Judas, the ultimate sinner, reborn as a child of Venus.'

Inspiration ranges from Africa to 80's NYC, from Bohannon to Quasimoto, from Norwegian New Wave to Acid House. With contributions by friends in the Oslo scene as hometown legend Dj Pål Strangefruit Nyhus, composer Ole-Henrik Moe, jazzpianist Bugge Wesseltoft, Sidiki Camara from Mali playing that beautiful Ngoni, and multi instrumentalist Ivar Snuten Winther, the album touches anything from blues, funk, disco and post-punk to IDM, acid house and electronic explorer music.

Benin City, bestehend aus Sänger und Dichter Joshua Idehen, Sängerin Shanaz Dorsett und Multi-Instrumentalist Tom Leaper, setzen sich auf ihrem Album "Last Night" mit den Abgründen, Tiefen und Höhen des Londoner Nachtlebens und dem schleichenden Sterben der Londoner Clubkultur auseinander. Musikalisch wird dieser Prozess mit zahlreichen Hooks und Wortgewandtheit im Afro-Dance-Pop- und Elektro-Gewand umgesetzt.

International Feel's newest signing Private Agenda are taking us back to a time when soul first met synthesisers, shoulder pads were as vital as the right Berlin address and Sheffield met the sonic Caribbean playground of Compass Point.

It was from this juxtaposed melting pot that the early seeds of Alfredo's Balearic Beat movement gathered pace and 'Déjà Vu' is a cocktail of Linda Di Franco, a Roxy Music esque aesthetic, bound together by elements of the inventive, contemporary production values of artists such as Todd Terje and Prins Thomas. 'Freefalling' on the reverse proves a fitting reflection of Private Agenda's wider vision. Finding sonic roots in early Balearicism - ethereal vocal lines over delicate percussion.

Uniting their disparate tastes and talents for the first time, the trio's debut single, 'Déjà Vu', provides a wonderful introduction to their world where production values are as detailed as they are bombastic lyrics, as reflective as they are bold.

Private Agenda are Martin, Sean & Nick. Martin's first synthesiser was an organ. He met Sean in German class. Sean was famous at school for his Mercuryesque indierockband stage presence and was especially dedicated to the art of songwriting. A few years later in Berlin, Martin moves in with Nick. The first time they worked together, they went for hours straight without a break. "I wanted to watch him mix music forever, it was magic," Martin recalled. Although it could have happened anywhere, Berlin was the place they all came together for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen, Private Agenda.

(prins thomas remix) March this year saw long time Full Pupp contributor and Oslo dj Marius Circus step out of hibernation and launch his own label. In The Garden's first release, "Roger Wilco's Night Out" received a warm welcome. For the second outing 'Veggepysj' he called in the big gun(s) for remix duty.

March this year saw long time Full Pupp contributor and Oslo dj Marius Circus step out of hibernation and launch his own label. In The Garden's first release, "Roger Wilco's Night Out" received a warm welcome.

The producer has apparently decided to keep the momentum up. In The Garden's second 12" will be released in mid June this year.
The title track "Veggepysj" is a chugging midnight affair, with swirling arps, a driving bassline and dreamy pads. "Mellow Johnny's", is a somewhat more (dare we say it...) balearic affair. Yet, it still has Marius Circus' undeniable personal twist, with off kilter percussion and weird textures from his synth arsenal.

Finally, the producer has called in the big gun(s) for remix duty. The flip sees long time friend, Full Pupp kingpin and undeniably one of the world's finest djs, turn the title track into a 9 minute dance floor monster. We're obviously talking about Prins Thomas. In his usual way, Thomas manages to take it up several notches, while still keeping the original's charm present.

Östra Discos proudly present "Tumble Down" taken from the album "Ah Coming Too" originally released in 1987. This one comes with three new versions to put fire on the dancefloors around the world!

REISSUE OF SUPER-RARE ALBUM WHICH SELLS FOR SILLY MONEY ON DISCOGS.
REISSUED FOR RSD AUSTRALIA 2017..NOW WE HAVE A FEW COPIES FOR EUROPE..LIMITED
For decades the mysterious Hiroshi & Claudia LP has been an elusive jewel amongst the curious world of Australian private press LPs. With nothing more than cryptic broken-English album sleeve notes to reference, the mythical Six To Six LP is a bewildering and intriguing jazz oddity. With prices of the rare original record hitting three figures, collectors began demanding to know who was 'Hiroshi', who was 'Claudia' and why did a group of unknown Japanese musicians record an album in Australia in the late 1970s only to issue it in micro-quantities, then seemingly disappear back into obscurity. For years no trace of whom they were nor any clue as to the origins of their peculiar yet entrancing music had surfaced. Until now....

Welcome to the brainchild of Gilles Germain and Carmen Fabro, a French/Italian husband and wife team of restaurateurs and film producers operating in Sydney during the 1970s. Establishing the custom record label 'Atom', the duo released a handful of highly obscure vanity jazz LPs and promotional horse racing 45s. (Yes it's all very strange...) The highlight undoubtedly being the album Six To Six, a session recorded in Sydney in 1979 by a group of touring Japanese jazz musicians led by guitarist Hiroshi Yasukawa, and a forgotten and still undocumented Mauritian cabaret singer performing under the alias 'Claudia'. Sitting somewhere between spacey Balearic disco, haunting soul and hectic funk reminiscent of electric Miles Davis, the Six To Six LP is a curious beast to say the least.

Released specially for Record Store Day 2017 Northside Records and The Roundtable present a limited edition exact reissue of this legendary Australian rare groove LP.

Die Band Timber Timbre begleitete uns seit über einer Dekade und wurde über die Jahre zu so etwas wie einer Institution in der wie auch immer verorteten Indie-Rock und Folk Welt. Immer schön unterm Radar und immer schön eigensinning gelang es ihnen über die Jahre eine beeindruckende Fangemeinde um sich zu versammeln. Das ist nun eigentlich nichts ungewöhnliches, aber wenn dann Bands wie Timber Timbre nicht nur in ihrer eigenen Suppe schmoren sondern sich musikalisch weiterentwicklen und von Album zu Album besser werden, dann ist das wirklich faszinierend. Das neue Werk - Sincerely, Future Pollution' ist ein Album, das eine Band nur alle zehn Jahre schreibt oder vielleicht auch nur einmal in der Karriere.

Orestt is one of those talented producers with a sporadic discography that remains viciously underrated. On L'Age de Glace EP, the producer's first appearance on I'm a Cliché since the Moment of a Crisis compilation, we proudly present new material as well as a hard to find tune self-released by Orestt a decade ago.
