Groningen band The Vices makes a tasteful mix of indie pop, surf and garage rock. The foursome led by
frontman Floris van Luijtelaar shows that they have a great sense of catchy melodies. The debut album
‘Looking For Faces’ is the next milestone in the career of the group, which received a kick-start soon after its
formation with shows as support act for YUNGBLUD, on ESNS and during the Popronde.
They have also completed their first foreign tour, with performances in England, Germany and France,
among others.

Morphing Territories’ self-titled imprint serves as a vessel for the artist’s timeless approach to techno, characterized by hypnotic, unpredictable atmospheres born out of modular synthesis and field recording. Rooted in the inspiration drawn from the natural beauty of his native Switzerland, Morphing Territories embarks on a boundless quest to perfect the beat. The label reflects this journey through tireless improvisation and introspective self-discovery, resulting in finely sculpted sound constructs that defy the conventional boundaries of both complexity and simplicity. Morphing Territories Label stands as a testament to the artist’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration, inviting listeners to join him on an extraordinary sonic expedition.

As the BBE Music J Jazz Masterclass Series hits its 19th title, the milestone is suitably matched by a collaboration between two giants of jazz brought together to deliver an exceptional album, working with a band of the very best Japanese jazz musicians. ‘Reminicent Suite’ by American pianist Mal Waldron and Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino was originally released in 1973 on the famed Victor label and was one of several Japan-only albums recorded and released by Waldron over a thirty-year period, most of which have never been available outside Japan. ‘Reminicent Suite’ comprises two extended tracks, both taking up a side each. The title track on Side A is composed by Waldron, and is a dark, brooding heavy groove typical of his early 70s sound. ‘Black Forest’ on side B is written by Hino and is a vivid and energetic piece, layered and textured with dense percussion and Hino’s signature trumpet tone. Mal Waldron started out in the early 1950s working extensively on the Prestige label with notable figures such as Gene Ammons, Jackie McLean and Charles Mingus. Most famously, he worked with Billie Holiday before leaving the States in the mid-60s and relocating to Europe where he established himself as a major figure working across many countries including France, Italy, and Germany, where he made his home in Munich. In 1969, Waldron recorded the first releases for two major European jazz labels, ECM and Enja, before visiting Japan on tour for the first time in 1970. Waldron instantly fell in love with Japan and, over the next three decades, extensively toured and recorded there for numerous labels. Terumasa Hino is one of the towering figures of post-war modern jazz in Japan. Coming to prominence via the Hideto Shiraki and Sadao Watanabe bands in the mid-60s, Hino soon emerged as one of the prime movers in new jazz generation that changed the direction of jazz in Japan. He explored a more open, freer, and improvised sound, mixing psychedelic and rock elements with freeform and post-bop jazz. Hino recorded for many of the leading jazz labels of the era including Columbia, Three Blind Mice, and East Wind and would go on to relocate to the US in the mid-70s, immersing himself with the leading fusion players of the New York scene including Larry Corryell, Mtume, Al Foster, Dave Liebman and many more. In the early 80s, Hino’s jazz funk tracks were dancefloor smashes on the UK jazz dance scene. Joining Waldron and Hino on ‘Reminicient Suite’ is a band made up of the very best Japanese jazzman of their day: Takeo Uematsu on sax, Terumasa’s brother, Motohiko Hino, on drums, and the legendary bass master, Isao Suzuki. Together, they deliver one of the very best albums of the era, a richly articulated and dynamic session that exemplifies the very best that the Japanese jazz scene was doing in the early 1970s. ‘Reminicent Suite’ is pressed on 200g vinyl presented in a gatefold sleeve plus obi strip, with new photos by Tadayuki Naito; translated original sleeve notes; and a 7500-word essay including interview with Terumasa Hino from Tony Higgins, co-curator of the J Jazz Masterclass Series. This is the first time this album has been available outside of Japan

Umweltfreundliches, recyceltes Vinyl. Jede recycelte Schallplatte ist individuell und erhält durch den Recyclingprozess ein eigenes Aussehen. Die aufstrebende Indie-Rock-Band KAFFKIEZ aus Rosenheim schlägt ein neues Kapitel auf: Ab sofort können Fans das zweite Album "EKSTASE" vorbestellen. Sänger Johannes Eisner dazu: "EKSTASE" beschreibt unser aktuelles Leben ganz gut. Es passiert alles. Unser Traum, die Zweifel, die großen Bühnen, die langen Nächte im Studio, alles prasselt auf uns ein und wir lieben es. Das neue Album soll das erzählen." Zwischen Studio, Interviewterminen, Festivalbühnen, Tourbus und mit über 70 Millionen Streams, hunderttausenden Tiktok und Spotify-Follower*innen, der Auszeichnung als MTV PUSH Artist 2022, Auftritten auf renommierten Festivals wie dem Southside, Hurricane und Highfield Festival hat sich KAFFKIEZ als eine der aufstrebendsten Indie-Bands der Musikszene etabliert. Die große Tour im März 2024 ist bereits in vielen Städten ausverkauft, unter anderem in renommierten Hallen wie der Columbiahalle in Berlin, Tonhalle in München, Große Freiheit (2x) in Hamburg oder dem Palladium in Köln. Die Single "Sommer Mit Dir" zeigt eine völlig neue Facette der Band. Ruhig wabernde Key-Flächen, ein emotionaler Text und ein starker, verletzlicher Song, der die Fans abermals begeistert. Die Attitüde der 5 Rosenheimer Jungs, die mitten in die Ungewissheit 2020 ihre Karriere starteten und sich immer nur auf ihren eigenen "fucking Mut" und ihre mitreißenden Songs verlassen haben, ist sonst die einer der mitreißendsten Bands der letzten Jahre. Optimistisch, eingängig, treibend. Dass sie damit offensichtlich einen Nerv getroffen haben zeigt der Erfolg ihres Debüt-Albums "Alles Auf Anfang" 2022 und die Zahlen neuer Hits wie der ersten Vorab- Singles "Alles Nur Gelogen", "Mut", "Scooter" oder Schrei es Raus" die in wenigen Monaten schon weit über 11 (!) Millionen Streams und das Cover der "Wilden Herzen" auf Spotify erreichte. Ein Indie-Märchen. "EKSTASE" liefert eine einzigartige musikalische Reise, die von KAFFKIEZ' unverkennbarem Stil geprägt ist - erdige, raue und begeisternde Indie-Hits, die immer tanzbar, aber nie langweilig sind. Immer zum Mitsingen, egal ob im Radio, dem Festivalslot oder nachts in der Kneipe. Produziert wird das Album wieder von Johann Seiffert. Das zweite Album wird das Ergebnis von KAFFKIEZ' eindrucksvollen Erfahrungen und der steilen Bergauffahrt im Musikbusiness der letzten drei Jahre, darunter die Herausforderungen der Pandemie und der Stress einer neuen Welt, in der sich die Mittzwanziger auf einmal in ein neues Leben als Musiker manövriert haben. In den vergangenen 3 Jahren haben Sänger Johannes Eisner, Keyboarder Johannes "Gotti" Gottwald, Bene Vodermaier, Niki Mayer und Florian "Weiny" Weinberger bewiesen, dass es sich lohnt, an Träume zu glauben. Aus einem Kaff sind sie wortwörtlich zu einer der gehyptesten Indie-Bands des Landes herangewachsen, die im letzten Jahr auf ausverkauften eigenen Konzerten und vollen Festival-Slots bewiesen haben, dass sie gekommen sind, um zu bleiben. "EKSTASE" erzählt diese Geschichte einer Band, die die Gedanken, Sorgen, Aängste, aber vor allem die guten Dinge des Lebens so energetisch vertont, konsequent weiter. Und das tun vor allem die Fans, Medienmacher*innen und Konzertliebhaber*innen des Landes. KAFFKIEZ sind bereit, ihr Publikum mit ihrer mitreißenden Live-Performance zu begeistern. Die jetzt schon zu weiten Teilen ausverkaufte Tour im März 2024 zeigt das: Eines ist sicher: KAFFKIEZ haben noch viel zu erzählen. Wir dürfen uns freuen, dass es endlich wieder eine Band gibt, die ohne großen Schnickschnack einfach mit guten Songs begeistert.

Previously Unreleased Album. In the Fall of 1993, between contracts with Capitol and RCA, The Smithereens ventured into Crystal Sound Studios NYC to write and record a new album for their own label. The results of those one month marathon recording sessions is this album, unheard by the outside world until now, and appropriately titled “Lost Album”. The Smithereens’ take no prisoners sound, reflecting their Garden State roots, has resonated with fans worldwide over the course of 17 albums and 2500+ live shows. They've also inspired generations of musicians, including Kurt Cobain, who counted The Smithereens as a major influence. Founded in New Jersey in 1980, The Smithereens have been creating electrifying, original rock’n’roll for 41 years. Jim Babjak (guitar) Dennis Diken (drums) and Mike Mesaros (bass) grew up together in Carteret and lead singer, the late Pat DiNizio, hailed from Scotch Plains. The Smithereens’ fame escalated, they were in heavy rotation on MTV and appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, and Saturday Night Live.

Mahne Frame (sprich: mah-nay frame) bringt seinen pan-pazifischen Rave-Pop mit einer abweichend klingenden EP auf seinem neuen Berliner Label Monkeytown Records zurück. Mit der Rückkehr von Tokio in seine winzige Heimatstadt Katoomba kehrt der australische Musiker und Produzent in die Annehmlichkeiten des weiten Raums und der geografischen Isolation zurück. Auf 'I gave my legs to a snake' verlagert er seinen Schwerpunkt von früheren, von Beats geprägten Sprechgesängen zu einem folkloristisch angehauchten Songwriting, das an Yung Leans Hinwendung zu zerbrechlichem Gesang erinnert. Doch Frame folgt nicht den globalisierten Trends des Undergrounds, sondern reagiert auf seine Umgebung: er tauscht den Lärm und die kompakte Mobilität seines Rollers in der dicht besiedelten japanischen Metropole gegen die ungestörten akustischen Erkundungen einer Gitarre in der Abgeschiedenheit des australischen Busches aus.

4 songs EP for the lovers of Fuzz! 4 explosive and ultra fuzzy songs by our favorite French fuzz rockers, Dum Dum Boys! Play loud or don't play at all! The Dum Dum Boys' new 4 songs EP was born under the sign of Fuzz: The one-chord fuzz stomp of Do the Nothing (a brand new nihilist dance), the fuzz glam of Come on Now (Gary Glitter meets the Scientists), the fuzz boogie of Blame It on the Boogie (a dancefloor hit, but only in freaky discotheques), and - another one-chord song! - the fuzzy amphetamine rush of Ridin' Down the Highway (Guitar fuzz! Bass fuzz! Organ fuzz!). As the poet said: "Those who don't like fuzz, pass your way_"

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of LA the Darkman’s Heist of the Century LP, Coalmine Records has partnered up with the Brooklyn native for a special edition vinyl reissue, marking the first time that the record’s been repressed since its original release. This album is widely regarded as one of the strongest and most underrated releases from a Wu-Tang Clan affiliate, and it’s easy to understand why once you hear its dynamic 18 tracks. The Killer Bee embodies the raw spirit of the Wu while adding his own signature gritty flavor throughout Heist of the Century. He shines whether he’s spitting solo on standouts like “Shine,” “Street Life,” and the title track, and when he’s joined by rap heavyweights like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Havoc, and Masta Killah. Rae actually delivers two show-stopping guest performances on”Az the World Turns” and “Spring Water.” The production lineup is just as serious, which boasts credits from the likes of RZA, DJ Muggs, Havoc, 4th Disciple, as well as Carlos “Six July” Broady who produced 10 tracks among others. Whether you were there day one, only started diving into the Wu’s vast discography recently, or somewhere in between, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better representation of their sound than Heist of the Century. “Heist of the Century undeniably continues in the vein of the surrealistic, orchestral sound that branded the Wu-Tang Clan as one of the most revolutionary hip-hop groups of the decade.” MTV.

Amsterdam based indie rock band POM made their debut in 2019 with their immediately successful single Down The Rabbit Hole, which has now streamed over 2 million times.

After releasing a number of singles and an EP, their debut album We Were Girls Together will be released on November 10 via Mattan Records.

POM brings together a balanced sound of raw guitar rock on the one hand and a sense of catchy melodies on the other. With their fresh and idiosyncratic style, a combination of Britpop, punk and garage rock, their sound can best be described as fuzzpop.

They were previously named by 3voor12 as one of the 12van3voor12 talents and tipped as a must-see act at Eurosonic Noorderslag.

First-ever vinyl repress of Sheena Easton’s hit 1983 album.
• Remastered from the original master tapes and pressed
on white coloured vinyl with refreshed artwork including
new inner sleeve.
• Includes the US smash singles ‘Almost Over You’ and
Grammy-nominated ‘Telefone (Long Distance Love
Affair)’ as well as her stunning take on the Dusty
Springfield classic ‘Just One Smile’.
Sheena Easton rocketed to overnight fame in 1980 with the BBC
broadcast of The Big Time - arguably the first pop reality show -
subsequently breaking records with her first two singles ‘Modern
Girl’ and ‘9 To 5’ simultaneously hitting the UK Top Ten. Within
a year, she had topped the US Hot 100 with the renamed
‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’, recorded the Bond theme ‘For
Your Eyes Only’, released two platinum-selling albums and
become an international sensation.
1983 proved a pivotal year for Sheena as she fully embraced her
burgeoning US stardom following a sell-out US tour, hit TV
specials and regular primetime appearances. ‘Best Kept Secret’
was her first album recorded Stateside. Working with red-hot
producer Greg Mathieson (fresh from holding down the top two
slots with Toni Basil and Laura Branigan) and Grammy-winner
Jay Graydon (Earth Wind & Fire, Dionne WarwickJ) the album
repositioned Easton as a youthful new wave stylist - as capable
of rocking hard on cuts like ‘Devil In A Fast Car’ as she was in
nailing a soaring Streisand-style ballad like the top 5 AC smash
‘Almost Over You.’ Lead single ‘Telefone’ was an out of the box
smash - reinstalling Sheena in the US top 10 pop and establishing
her as heavy rotation MTV star and dance chart regular.
This is the fourth in a series of remastered vinyls of her 1980s
albums, and part of Cherry Red’s on-going reissue campaign of
the star’s EMI catalogue in association with RT Industries.

For fans of Mt. Eerie and Wolves In The Throne Room. Experimental, highly idiosyncratic take on black metal from Oakland California / Olympia Washington two piece. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Nicholas Wilbur (The Microphones, Have A Nice Life, Planning For Burial). Previous releases with on cult DIY label An Out Recordings. 2018 split release with Thou. Ragana is a duo whose members alternate duties on drums, guitar, and vocals to produce some of the most unique and affecting dark music in metal today. The two-piece came together in 2011 in the DIY punk scene of Olympia, WA and are now based in Olympia and Oakland, CA. In their time together so far, Ragana have self-released five albums and teamed up with genre-favourite Thou for a split release in 2018. The following year, Ragana released their heralded We Know That The Heavens Are Empty EP and have quietly been working on new music ever since. The band signed with The Flenser in late 2022 and now present their forthcoming debut album for the label, Desolation's Flower. On Desolation's Flower, Ragana draws upon a number of influences from the flora and fauna of their Pacific Northwest origins to the darkly nostalgic folk of Mt. Eerie and, yes, their Olympian forebears Wolves In The Throne Room, synthesising them into an experimental, highly idiosyncratic take on black metal. Held together by an intense focus on raw emotion and haunting atmospherics, Ragana shifts seamlessly from tender, mesmerising vocal harmonies to piercing, heart-ripping screams and back again, yielding music that is heavy, beautiful and punishing all at once. Written over the past few tumultuous years, Desolation's Flower is the band's most devastating effort to date, containing seven incantations of loss, rage, pain and hope. Expertly engineered by the masterful Nicholas Wilbur at the Unknown Studio in Anacortes, Washington (Planning For Burial, drowse, Divide and Dissolve, Have a Nice Life), the album serves as the culmination of the past decade plus of the band's ethos and execution.

Einst lebte Helga Gabriel zurückgezogen in den Weiten des schwedischen Hinterlandes. Sie sang in Chören, aber in Wirklichkeit waren der See und die Wälder immer ihre Kirche. Ihre Stimme schwebte wie Vögel durch den Abendnebel und sang Psalmen inmitten von Birken und Kiefern.
Doch 2019 erwachte in Helga eine Berufung. Sie reiste 800 Meilen nach Norden, nach North Yorkshire, wo sie drei Jugendfreunde und einen frühreifen Multiinstrumentalisten traf. Der Rest ist Geschichte. HELGA war geboren.

HELGA schöpfen aus vielen verschiedenen Einflüssen: Schwedischer Folk, Progressive Metal, Post-Rock, Pop, Black Metal. Auf ihrem Debütalbum "Wrapped in Mist" vereinen sie ein gewaltiges Schlagzeugspiel, gespenstische Streicher und tuckernde Riffs zu einer Klage über Sterblichkeit und geistige Gesundheit.
Sie fangen gerade erst an. Aber schon jetzt hat sich diese junge Band als eine frische, starke Kraft erwiesen.

FFO: Opeth, Anna Von Hausswolff, Alcest, The Gathering, Silver Mt. Zion, Myrkur, King Crimson
