„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
Sie ist Grammy-prämierte Produzentin, Songwriterin und Musikerin, hat mit Tyler, The Creator, CASISDEAD, Skream und Skrillex zusammengearbeitet und weltweit Millionen Tonträger verkauft. Heute meldet
sich La Roux nach langem Warten zurück: Ihr viertes Album „Old Flames“ erscheint am 6. November.
Mit der neuen Single „Cabin Fever“ gibt sie einen ersten Einblick in die Geschichte, die sich auf dem Album
entfaltet.
Von La Roux selbst komponiert, geschrieben, produziert und arrangiert, ist das Album das selbstbewusste
Statement einer Künstlerin, die aus Offenheit und Fantasie Kraft schöpft. Auf „Old Flames“ setzt sie
sich mit dem Ende einer 17-jährigen Beziehung auseinander, mit dem Schmerz einer verbotenen Liebe, der
Einsamkeit der Sucht und dem Ringen darum, Sexualität und Identität unter den kritischen Blicken der
Öffentlichkeit miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Ihre Inspirationsquellen reichen von David Lynch und
„Donnie Darko“ über All Saints und Mariah Carey bis hin zu ihrem Jeep und sommerlichem Regen. „Old
Flames“ ist nostalgisch, zieht tief in seine eigene Welt hinein, blickt zugleich nach vorn – und ist durch und
durch La Roux.
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.
Zehn Jahre nach ihrer ersten Scarlatti-Einspielung kehrt Angela Hewitt zu dem Barockkomponisten zurück,
dessen Musik „fruchtbaren Erfindungsreichtum, vielfältige Farben, kapriziöse Stimmungswechsel und eine
außergewöhnliche Kraft, unsere Empfindungen zu berühren“ vereint (BBC Music Magazine).
Für dieses neue Album hat Hewitt 16 weitere außergewöhnliche Klaviersonaten Scarlattis ausgewählt. Wie
der Scarlatti-Forscher Ralph Kirkpatrick feststellte, kann keine seiner rund 555 Sonaten als typisch gelten.
Ein besonderer Reiz liegt im starken spanischen Einfluss: stampfende Füße, das Schlagen der Gitarre und
ein lebendiger Sinn für Tanz.
Gramophone lobt Hewitts „Gabe als Programmgestalterin“, ihre „tiefe Affnität zu Scarlatti und beispielhafte Musikalität“. Mit charakteristischer Fantasie und Einsicht erweckt sie diese Werke zum Leben. Ihre
eigenen fundierten Booklet-Texte – auch auf Deutsch und Französisch – spiegeln ein Leben der Beschäftigung mit dieser unerschöpflich erfinderischen Musik wider.
Ein moderner Blue-Note-Weihnachtsklassiker, erstmals auf Vinyl, als limitierte rote LP erhältlich.
Dianne Reeves, eine der herausragenden Jazz-Stimmen unserer Zeit, befand sich auf dem Höhepunkt
ihres Schaffens und hatte gerade drei GRAMMY-prämierte Alben in Folge veröffentlicht, als sie 2004 mit
„Christmas Time Is Here“ ihr erstes Weihnachtsalbum aufnahm. Begleitet wurde sie von ihrem langjährigen
Trio mit Pianist Peter Martin, Bassist Reuben Rogers und Schlagzeuger Greg Hutchinson. Hinzu kamen
hochkarätige Gäste wie Gitarrist Romero Lubambo, Saxophonist Steve Wilson und Vibraphonist Joe Locke.
Gemeinsam präsentieren sie frische und innovative Interpretationen bekannter Weihnachtsklassiker, von Balladen, gefühlvollen Liebesliedern und Folk-Arrangements bis hin zu schwungvollen Uptempo-Nummern und
von Bossa Nova geprägten Arrangements.
Seine Vinyl-Premiere feiert das zeitlose Album jetzt in weihnachtlichem Rot. Eine LP, die bei Fans ganz
sicher Jahr für Jahr zum Einsatz kommen wird
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
Die bei Jazzfans gefeierte Serie BRITISH JAZZ EXPLOSION präsentiert mit „Voyages – The Argo Studio Albums Vol. 1“ vier Schlüsselwerke des britischen Modern-Jazz-Pianisten und Komponisten Michael
Garrick erstmals wieder auf Vinyl. Die limitierte 4-LP-Box vereint „The Heart Is A Lotus“ (1970), „Mr
Smith’s Apocalypse“ (1971), „Home Stretch Blues“ (1972) und „Troppo“ (1974) und führt durch Garricks
eigenständige Klangwelt zwischen Post-Bop, Modal Jazz, freien Formen und Poesie. Mit dabei sind Größen
wie Norma Winstone, Don Rendell, Ian Carr, Art Themen, Henry Lowther und Coleridge Goode.
Alle Alben wurden in den Abbey Road Studios rein analog von neu den originalen Stereo-Masterbändern
gemastert und auf 180-g-Vinyl gepresst. Die hochwertige Box enthält die Alben in den Original-Artworks
(3 Single- + 1 Gatefold-Sleeve) und schwarzen, gefütterten Innenhüllen sowie ein 20-seitiges, LP-großes
Booklet mit neuen Texten, Fotos und Tape-Box-Abbildungen.
1960 aufgenommen und als Moodsville Volume 7 veröffentlicht, zeigt At Ease with Coleman Hawkins den
legendären Saxofonisten von seiner entspannten, romantischen Seite. Aufgenommen von Rudy Van Gelder
in Englewood Cliffs, interpretiert Hawkins gemeinsam mit Tommy Flanagan, Wendell Marshall und Osie
Johnson acht Jazzstandards. Das Ergebnis ist ein intimes, unaufgeregtes Balladenalbum, getragen von
Hawkins’ charakteristisch warmem, luftigem Ton
Building on the promise of nearly 10 years testing limits within club music, Batu presents his debut album Opal. Experimentation is a well-established facet of Omar McCutcheon's identity within the leftfield techno zeitgeist, but more than ever on Opal he seizes the opportunity to incorporate ideas beyond dancefloor impetus into his animated, forward-leaning sound.
Through the course of 11 tracks, rhythmic forms are mutated and manipulated, sonic matter bends across the frequency range and narrative structures coalesce and dissolve according to Batu's own internal logic. Unpredictability lies at the heart of all this music, bound together by a consistent modernist glint. It's a sound intrinsically connected to the superlative string of club 12"s, EPs and collaborations Batu has spun behind him thus far, even as it moves into unfamiliar terrain, guided by abstract inspiration from coastal landscapes and the mineral matter all life on Earth is built on.
Debut album from Batu on his own Timedance imprint following releases for Livity Sound, Hessle Audio or XL Recordings.
UK & Worldwide press campaign led by Dawn Creative. International press cover TBA and strong media (RA, Mixmag, DJ Mag, XLR8R) and radio coverage around the release (Jamz Supernova, KEXP, Dublab, Rinse France)
Extensive touring schedule for 2022 includes US, Mexico, UK, Europe, and features headline slots in multiple high profile festivals (Sonar, Dekmantel, Outlook, Dimensions, Waterworks and more)
Houston’s premier street griot is stepping into his most profound chapter yet with his highly anticipated upcoming album, O.Y.N. Throughout a decorated career that spans over 1.2 billion global streams and a fiercely loyal fanbase, Maxo Kream—born Emekwane Ogugua Biosah, Jr.—has established himself as one of rap’s most authentic, uncompromising storytellers. From the raw trenches of Alief to the critically acclaimed triumphs of Punken, Brandon Banks, Weight of the World, and his triumphant 2024 independent pivot Personification, Maxo has long been celebrated by Pitchfork, NPR, and Complex for his cinematic, hyper-detailed world-building. Now, O.Y.N. finds the Houston icon turning his gaze inward, pairing his signature Texas grit with an expansive, global perspective that redefines his artistic boundaries.
If his previous work was about Maxo taking full creative control as an independent force, O.Y.N. is about him uncovering who he is at his core. Following the passing of his father, Maxo found himself searching deeper for his family origins, leading to a pivotal moment of artistic and personal rebirth. For the first time in his life, Maxo traveled to Lagos, Nigeria, anchoring his new music in a profound celebration of his Nigerian heritage. The emotional centerpiece of this journey is the JPEGMAFIA-produced single “Time Out,” an introspective track that moves away from the frantic energy of his past releases to offer a stripped-back look at love, loss, and legacy. Featuring a heavy, resonant drum presence on the outro, the song’s accompanying music video was filmed on location in Lagos, capturing Maxo navigating his ancestral roots in real-time.
While O.Y.N. reaches new emotional depths, it doesn't sacrifice the hard-hitting, volatile street persona that made Maxo a star. The album expertly balances soul-baring vulnerability with cutting-edge hip-hop experimentation, showcasing elite chemistry with some of the genre's most forward-thinking visionaries. Look no further than “Fake Jeezy,” a collaborative explosion featuring Denzel Curry and masterminded by JPEGMAFIA. The track is a masterclass in industrial chaos, combining sharp lyricism and early-2000s trap imagery with cold, surreal visual aesthetics. This duality highlights Maxo's unique positioning in the culture as a trusted street general who can effortlessly trade bars with rap's avant-garde elite.
From his early days flipping Kendrick Lamar's “Rigamortis” to sharing marquee tracks with the likes of A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and Tyler, The Creator on hits like “Big Persona,” “Cracc Era,” and “Cracc At 15,” Maxo Kream has always been a rapper's rapper. O.Y.N. represents the ultimate synthesis of this incredible journey. It is an album born from the soil of Alief but elevated by the spirit of Lagos—a raw, beautiful, and heavy-hitting testament to an artist who has survived his past, honored his losses, and fully embraced his destiny.
Die 13-fache Grammy-Preisträgerin Lady Gaga veröffentlicht am 07. März ihr siebtes Studioalbum „MAYHEM“.
„MAYHEM“ ist eine triumphale Rückkehr zu Gagas Pop-Wurzeln und verbindet ihre eklektische Energie
mit einer furchtlosen künstlerischen Vision und erfindet ihren frühen Sound mit einem kaleidoskopischen
Ansatz neu.
Unter den 14 Tracks des Albums befinden sich die bereits veröffentlichten Hits „Disease“ und „Die With
a Smile“ mit Bruno Mars.
„Disease“ wurde von The Independent als ‚ihr bestes Stück seit langem‘ gefeiert, und The Guardian lobte
die ‚zischenden, verzerrten Synthies‘ und den ‚stampfenden, leicht industriellen Beat‘. Das von Tanu Muino
gedrehte Musikvideo zu „Disease“ wurde von der Vogue als „eines der besten Videos des Jahres“ gelobt.
„Die With a Smile“, Gagas chart-erobernde Zusammenarbeit mit Bruno Mars, hat sich zu einer weltweiten
Sensation entwickelt. Die Ballade, die sich derzeit in der dritten Woche auf Platz 1 der Billboard Hot 100
befindet, ist für 2 Grammy Awards dieses Jahr nominiert, darunter für den Song des Jahres und die beste
Pop-Duo-/Gruppen-Performance.
Zu den Produzenten des Albums gehören Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut und Gesaffelstein.
For his debut on Hard Times Records, Manchester's FLETCH delivers 'Lift Me Up’ - a four-track EP rooted in rolling grooves, warm musicality and a refined dancefloor energy.
The release follows a busy run for FLETCH, with releases on Circoloco, Three Six Zero, MVSON and ANOTR's No Art, where his Play House EP reached the top of the download charts. His connection with Hard Times began behind the decks at the label's sold-out Miami Winter Music Conference showcase, where a shared appreciation for the music soon developed into plans for a release.
"After playing for the Hard Times crew in Miami, I told them how I'd been a fan of the label for years and that i’d love to release something with them one day," says FLETCH. "I sent over some tracks that I felt were a natural fit and the guys signed them on the spot. The rest, as they say, is history!"
The title track sets the tone for the EP with rolling drums, elastic basslines and understated vocal hooks, while 'Stand Up’ leans into swung percussion and classic chord stabs. On the B-side, 'Touch Me' shifts into deeper territory with stripped-back, late-night groove, before '1000 Years' closes the EP with dusty scratches, crisp hats and an understated sense of drive.
Since its digital release, lead track "Lift You Up" has received strong support on BBC R1, plus heavy DJ support from the likes of TSHA, Hilit Kolet, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Groove Armada, Riva Starr, and more.
FLETCH's sound continues to evolve while remaining firmly rooted in the traditions of house, making 'Lift Me Up' the perfect debut on Hard Times.
Second Storey launches new record label High Canopy - with Ladakh EP, 20 years since the artist's first vinyl release. Storey's working template has always been to take on the observations of his inner and outer world experiences, folding them into his expertise as a highly skilled drummer, knack for dream-scape sound design and love of rave and soundsystem culture. High Canopy promises to be an environment that platforms full artistic freedom and homes the mechanised, cerebral dancefloor workouts of Second Storey's studio life alongside his deeper, more experimental terrain. The EP's first stop is 'Blue Eye' named after the spring source of the Bistrice river in Albania. Crystal-clear sound design that echoes the flow of this natural water and sits alongside softly distorted low end. Contrasting 'Urban Hermit' was written in Berlin, during a bout of cabin fever and is a heavy case of gnarled up, spat out, paranoid machine funk. 'Post Columbia' - recorded after an eye opening trip to Bogota- then shifts the tone for the B side into more heady melodic territory with luminous, floating synths evolving throughout the track. ' ABC Conjecture' builds an intense atmosphere as it crawls and morphs across growling, distorted bass with a creeping shuffle of layered elements building overhead. Title track 'Ladakh' completes the EP, inspired by the remote town in the Indian Himalayas on the border of Tibet, AKA snow leopard country. It takes on a special and expansive ambient quality of this deeply precious and spiritual mountain land.
Impossibly rare slab: a capital-C-cult bit of millennial business from perhaps the most enigmatic member of the Gush Collective crew, who in the early 00s not so much redefined, but refined UKG… and then some. Alongside folks like Herb-LF and Lorenzo, Yoshino was a stalwart: releasing and remixing on the legendary but somewhat overlooked German labels Draft Recordings and Gush. It was here these cats smoothed out the UKG sound with a spliffed out vibe that fucked with the raw warm herby sounds of Tyree Cooper and QX-1; Yoshino, more than most though, flirted with sounds you wouldn’t expect to find in the UKG realm: think ethereally stuff man, I’m talking Placid Angels with the pseudo Japanese pop sensibilities of Faye Wong - but when when the cards fall down, his productions equally bang. So: splice in a bit of Serious Danger and Makesome Breaksome, light a phat one or zwei… & welcome to the wheelhouse.
‘Back to Basics' is a celebration of Yoshino as an artist: featuring a repress from our favourite Gush Collective stash (which is now so dear it makes me wish I’d better taken care of my records at after parties); three first time cuts of his on wax that we’ve curated from over the years that feature appearances from Peaky Beats and Miss Angel - and of course, there’s a killer remix from deep digging DJ and producer, Enchanted Rhythms (whose Youtube archive is packed to the veritable rafters with the most overlooked gems and updated with such frequency that it is hard to keep up). Apart from being a head’s head, Rich is also part of the Pace familia, so we're happy to welcome him to the catalogon a terrain he has endlessly kept fresh since day dot - he knows his shit here, and of course, he taps into that Yoshino flava big time.
The next chapter on Skip Audio arrives with S.O.N. at the controls, presenting three original productions that move between hypnotic rhythms, rolling basslines, and immersive atmospheres. On remix duties, Romanian heavyweight Sublee reshapes one of the originals into a deep and elegant dancefloor journey. A carefully curated collection of four trippy, groove-driven tracks made for long nights and discerning selectors.
Pittsburgh Tracks presents the second Cheek Inc. record - “Next 2 U” - a catchy vocal house record for summer. The collaboration between longtime friends keeps going.
The A1: original mix features a bouncy groove where the infectious vocal hook and shuffly drums keep everyone dancing.
The A2 “bang mix” amps things up with pianos, an energetic 303 lead, a build up, and subs that drop for maximum impact.
The B1 “club mix” is as it says on the tin: plenty of energy with a manic bassline, tight, stripped down rhythms, and a top-line melody that emphasizes the vocals.
The B2 “bass mix” features Sleeve’s STRIPPERTM bringing the heat with staccato beats, a twisting midrange vortex of sound, and plenty of darkness with discordant pads, where the stripped-back vocal punctuates to bring a bit of air at the right moments.
Dan had called Sad Piano House a cousin to his previous Daphni track 'Cloudy', the Kelbin remix of which had become a much beloved fan favourite. So it was only a matter of time before Kelbin, real name Favaretto, got to work on his version of Sad Piano House - a beautiful reworking marrying the heart tugging melody of the original with Kelbin's trademark razor sharp production.
Follow-up to 2023's ‘Necromanteum’ and their first
release on Sumerian.
Supported by global touring, the legends of
modern deathcore have returned.
‘More Than Misery’ explores a world of destructive
love, war, death and inner torment that fights its
way back out. The album follows the
transformation of turning pain into power. Into
confronting the darkest parts of existence,
destroying the person you once were, and
emerging from the ash as something harder harder
to break.
Sam Alfred marks his Technicolour debut with the
‘No More’ EP - five tracks of old school progressive

up with Luuk van Dijk and Storm Mollison for lead
collaboration ‘Connected By Light’
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.
„No Tourists“ wurde von Liam Howlett in seinem Studio in London-Kings Cross geschrieben, produziert
und abgemischt – auch wenn es sich, wie Liam betont, „durch und durch um ein Band-Album“ handelt.
Maxim und Keef Flint sind voll und ganz mit von der Partie und steuern ihre legendären Vocals zu diesem
siebten Studioalbum der Formation aus Essex bei. Zwar gibt es vereinzelt Gastbeiträge, doch im Kern
ist dies der Sound des Prodigy-Kerntrios, das sein explosives Klanggewand sowohl altem als auch neuem
Publikum präsentiert – fast drei Jahrzehnte, nachdem die Band mit dem epochalen Album „The Fat Of
The Land“ das Gesicht und den Sound der elektronischen Musik nachhaltig verändert hat.
Y-3, the pioneering sports-fashion collaboration between adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, has for three decades dwelled calmly within the ''tensions of existence''. In conceiving the brand's long-awaited return to runway format at Paris Fashion Week, these codes laid the groundwork leading up to the Spring/Summer 2025 season. Whilst the focus for runway is traditionally placed on garments, models, styling, environment, and the pageantry in between, it was crucial that music play an integral role in the conversation. Three seasons later, sound has informed creative direction from the very earliest phases of ideation. Commissioning all-original compositions has become a natural part of this ideology. The return to runway has invited the opportunity to define a new sonic palette for the brand, and beyond that, to usher in a new era of sound for Y-3 that echoes across music & culture. Following this ethos, and with a mandate to support obscure talent, Montreal duo Solitary Dancer have emerged as the first collaborators in shaping the intimate brand architecture of noise & feeling. With a body of work now spanning over a trilogy of seasons, the genre-defying Y-3000 imprint provides an outlet to disseminate & recontexualize the original compositions beyond the traditional runway. The label embodies Y-3's enduring commitment to explore innovation within opposing cultural forces. The works, originally released on Y-3000 as a series of white labels, are now being featured as a 6x 12'' vinyl compilation. Designed by Trevor Jackson and limited to just 99 examples, the recordings will also be made available both digitally and on streaming services for the very first time.
Following the successful return of Cyberfunk Records, Frequency Damage EP showcases four brand-new productions from DJ Quest, blending over 25 years of breakbeat experience with modern production techniques.
From old-school funk influences and rolling basslines to heavy club grooves and precision-engineered drums, the EP demonstrates the versatility that has made DJ Quest one of the pioneers of the Bassline Breaks movement.
Each track brings its own identity while remaining unmistakably Cyberfunk—music written for DJs, built for powerful sound systems and inspired by the underground dancefloors that shaped the label's legacy.
NYC-based artist Computerwife returns with her
highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Born From a
Wish’ via Danger Collective Records. Three years
in the making, the 11-track release elevates her
signature guitar-driven sound with richer
production and broader scope.
Exploring isolation, heartbreak and self-discovery,
singles ‘Nobody’ and ‘Foreverrr’ anchor
Computerwife’s most confident, mature,
emotionally resonant work to date, occupying the
liminal space between digital life and tangible
reality.
Every now and then, there are tracks that stand the test of time. Tracks that are more than just another DJ-tool. Tracks to remember. When „Fom Within“ was released 13 years ago. the track found its way into almost every DJ-Case that summer, and to this day, people playit out at special moments. When Gregor Tresher started to mix Celeda´s „Music Is the Answer“ Acapella over it, inofficial remixes popped up everywhere. We decided to actually never release that version, as we believe some things should be in the DJ´s hands, as there´s nothing quite magic as if a DJ-Mix creates something new. We are happy to give to you an official repress of one of the strongest tracks from our label´s history. Play it out and let it work it´s magic.
Quiet Village drop a version of Barry Reynolds' 'Till The Doctor Gets Back' with a remix from Mad Professor. The duo's latest release for their eponymous imprint is a love letter to the early-80s sound of Island Records.
Joel Martin and Matt 'Radio Slave' Edwards' Quiet Village project is back on their The Quiet Village imprint on July 10th with 'Till The Doctor Gets Back', a characteristically spaced-out cover of Barry Reynolds which features their first ever commissioned remix, having tapped Mad Professor.
Recorded in 2024, Quiet Village's 'Till The Doctor Gets Back' evokes the spirit of the 1982 original, a release born out of a period when reggae, dub, pop, rock and dance music were colliding. QV's version is exactly what the duo have been known for since their beginnings in 2005; unhurried, immersive and utterly compelling. With reverb and delays firmly on the 'dub' bus, the track is shot through rich synths, glorious overlapping melodies and a fresh vocal interpretation. Mad Professor's dub slow burns, doubles down on the dub aesthetics and embraces the source material wholly, resulting in a cosseting yet invigorating listen.
Hot on the heels of their new UK street soul-inspired LP ‘Feel In Motion’, Leeds three-piece Galaxians enlist Steven Julien (Apron Records), Boys Shorts (Phantasy Sound), Cervo (Banana Hill) and Vanity Project (Claptrap Records) for remixes of the album's singles.
Adopting his 808 PRINCE moniker, the London DJ, producer & Apron Records label boss Steven Julien beefs up World Apart with his unique live 808 programming, imbuing it with an urgent machinefunk groove in keeping with his consistently electrifying live performances & DJ sets.
Coming straight from the release of their ambitious debut album ‘What Does It Take To Make These Men Happy?’, Greek duo Boys’ Shorts create a heady club moment with their take on Lose My Head, cutting up Sinead Campbell’s vocal while zeroing in on the original’s undeniable bassline & piano melody.
Best known for his Banana Hill label & Manchester club night, Stockport’s Cervo brings the global rhythms and balearic wistfulness of his previous output to bear on his evolution of Fantasy, while Claptrap Records boss Matt Bruce AKA Vanity Project reimagines the track as a cosmic house chugger that further highlights the exceptional vocal performance Beccy Young recalling Madonna at her most iconic.
The package is completed with Gramrcy & John Loveless’s 12” Mixes of Worlds Apart and Fantasy, expanding and reshaping the album originals into pure dancefloor bliss.
Pariter continues its acclaimed archive series with another essential London tech house reissue from the Strange Weather Studios catalogue. Produced by two of the scene's key figures, Timmy S and Justin Bailey, this release captures a defining moment in the evolution of the UK sound.
Originally released on Wiggle in 2001, the EP arrived during the golden era of Nathan Coles and Terry Francis's legendary Fabric residency, when Strange Weather was helping shape the future of London's underground tech house. More than twenty years on, these tracks have lost none of their impact.
Meticulously remastered from the original DAT masters, the EP features three deep, tripped-out, acid-tinged tech house cuts, now presented on heavyweight 180g vinyl for the first time. Gold.
Phonica returns to reissuing rare underground dance music with a limited pressing of the sought after 'Electric Nite / Atmospheric' 12" by Yoogie Van Bellen and Christian Linder.
Originally released way back in 2001 on the Marc et Claude's label, the initial pressing has surged in value over the past few years due to its gradually increasing scarcity, no doubt due to its appearance in many underground sets. A lot of recent interest was caused by 'Electric Nite' being the final track in Jane Fitz's legendary set at Houghton 2025, which has been archived by Resident Advisor and has now had over 110,000 listens (!)
In fact, both 'Electric Nite' and 'Atmospheric' are longform psychedelic-tinged Techno/Trance beauties, perfect late night material for the more open-minded DJs and dancers out there.
"Collect Records 05 welcomes one of the most respected names in contemporary American deep house. On The Realest EP, DJ Aakmael delivers four beautifully crafted tracks that embody the timeless essence of the genre, blending deep, soulful grooves with rich jazz influences, warm analogue textures and unmistakable swing. Rooted in the traditions of Detroit and New York while carrying his own unmistakable signature, Aakmael effortlessly balances dancefloor functionality with musical depth. Pressed in Portugal by Grama Pressing, mastered by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering in Berlin, and distributed worldwide by Clone Distribution, COLL05 continues Collect Records' commitment to timeless underground music, bringing together artists whose work transcends trends and speaks directly to dedicated listeners and dancefloors alike."
This compilation album is the result of a unique collaboration between PLAZA and Kunstmuseum Den Haag, inviting listeners on a sonic journey through the museum's hidden collection of instruments, previously unseen by the public . On this special record you can hear a diverse range of musicians from the Hague engaging with this music archive through inspiration, sampling or even playing the fragile instruments themselves.
The intriguingly named Pigeon Steve joins Especial for an EP of trippy, psychedelic electronic dance music that goes far beyond its origin – a thirst for all forms of movement – a struggle filled with all possibility.
Since its inception, the label has sought to take inspiration from a wide range of music genres – new wave and new beat to disco-not-disco, post punk and proto-house – never looking for a trend. This belief system expressed is human; intimate and authentic, dissolving and uniting around shared truths and universal values.
Music as ecstasy, the flux of rhythm and sound, to find and be yourself; no guilt, no competition, no games. It is phenomenon – magick – that short circuits through human (emotional) response.
Relocated to South-East London, Glaswegian DJ and producer, Pigeon Steve aka Adam Low, showcases his talent. A dubby, trippy approach to DJing mirrored in his productions; the recent, well-received EPs on the esteemed Offen Music and Weirdos Inc lead here – an EP of sample heavy cuts, wrapped in echo-laden grooves, the beats dripping in psychedelic, new beat and steppers electronica.
Dialect locates us, through its cadences, inflections and intonations we journey through life. Language allows us to escape the lion in a cage. The moment we forget ourselves, we can reach joy and clarity. To live is to exist, the struggle against controls, fighting for an individual destiny.

Moulton Music returns with House of Moulton Vol. 2, a four-track vinyl sampler featuring music from N.W.N., Homero Espinosa, Allen Craig, Nathan G, and Tobirus Mozelle.
Side A opens with Play With My... by N.W.N., a deep underground gem originally released on Bagira Ice Limited in 2018. After discovering the track last year, Homero Espinosa knew it deserved a vinyl release and reached out to N.W.N. to make it happen. Alongside the original, Homero delivers an exclusive remix that builds on the groove, adding his signature jazz-infused touch while staying true to the spirit of the record.
On Side B, Moulton digs into the vaults with two dancefloor favorites. Never Alone featuring Tobirus Mozelle gets the Nathan G treatment, delivering deep house at its finest with warm chords, soulful vocals, and timeless groove. Closing the sampler is Legbleep by Allen Craig, a deep, moody, techno-infused roller that perfectly rounds out the sampler.
We're absolutely stoked to welcome Swedish producer Sacred Grove for his second appearance on Parodia.
Four High speed racing tracks that perfectly find the sweet spot between intensity and softness, keeping the groove rolling.
The record set the tone with Earthbound, a percussive heater with an ever going groove, followed by Quest, an eternal eye-closed dancefloor aquatic jam.
B side offers Fever (Mushroom Mix) keeping the energy going, pedal to the metal, certified 4am banger.
Closing the race, "Heart" further cements the atmospheric sensitivity of the record and the enchanting magic that radiates from Sacred Grove power.
As they say, horses (hustlers) don't stop, they keep going!
