In 2022, Daniele “Shield” Contrini of Rebirth Records proposed Paraíso to the great man himself, a compilation honouring Alfredo’s legacy. After Alfredo’s passing in December 2024, the project was final; with artists rallying to honour his vision and memory.

Before becoming a global clubbing hotspot, Ibiza embodied freedom—a place where sunrises blurred into sunsets and music became a way of life. In the 1950s and '60s, the island drew artists, hippies, and outsiders seeking escape and creative liberty.

In 1976, Alfredo Fiorito, fleeing political repression in Argentina, arrived in Ibiza and stayed. A former music journalist, he soon began DJing at Amnesia, a farmhouse-turned-club where time bent and boundaries dissolved. With eclectic, genre-defying sets, Alfredo blended reggae, flamenco, soul, rock, and early house, crafting a hypnotic energy that captivated a generation.

British DJs like Trevor Fung, Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling brought this “Balearic Beat” back home. But Balearic wasn’t a style it was a mindset. As DJ Leo Mas said, it was “a state of mind,” where rhythm, spirit, and psychedelia merged.

Other clubs like KU, Es Paradis, Pacha, and Lola’s amplified the movement. Visual artists such as Yves Uro gave it a striking identity, and DJs like César de Melero, DJ Pippi, and Jon Sa Trinxa carried the sound into a new era. José Padilla’s sunset sessions at Café del Mar birthed chill-out music as breath, not just beat.

But the 1990s brought change. Laws requiring roofs on clubs altered the open-air magic. Commercialisation followed; freedom became luxury, and many pioneers left.

Still, the Balearic spirit lives—raw and untamed. It pulses in hidden parties, intimate venues like Pikes and Hostal La Torre, and sacred places like Benirrás and Las Dalias.

Featuring 16 tracks of classic and true Balearic sound; alongside House & proto-House tracks that Mr Fiorito spun, the album also includes an unreleased Alfredo track and stands as a tribute to the man, the music, and the enduring spirit of true Ibiza.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: A project that began whilst Alfredo was still alive; faithfully completed since his passing with a sincerity and respect for this great pioneers legacy. Whilst many may argue over what characterizes the White Isle's sound in 2026; "Paraiso" presents the OG Balearic spirit - when hippies, outcasts, druggies, dealers and celebrities all danced as one, under one groove and with Alfredo as their spirit guide.

"The Sound of Love International 008" curated by Ivan Smagghe.

The next chapter of Love International's compilation series with Test Pressing arrives through the lens of Ivan Smagghe. Guided by his long-standing mantra, “the style of no style,” the 12-track selection drifts effortlessly between shadow and light - a reflection of the festival as he knows it.

This is Smagghe’s version of Love International: unpolished in the right places, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the stranger corners of the Adriatic experience. The compilation captures the balance at the heart of the festival: connection, curiosity, and a shared rhythm that holds it all together. Slightly out of reach yet exactly where it should be.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Love International / Golden Lion regular and widely revered drug-chug misfit, Ivan Smagghe presents his disjointed view of Adriatic revelry. Darker and more mystic than your Balearic counterpart; his selection for Dave Harvey's festival reflects the desire for contemporary sounds amongst its punters and DJs. With curveball after curveball across two discs, Smagghe takes us from day into night - from the Olive Grove to Barbarellas - keeping it suave and sexy throughout.

The second volume of this series is as good as the first with more finely tuned twilight dubs and Balearic chuggers, expertly curated by a master of this form in Pete Herbert. Across two sides, the comp flows between low-slung grooves, deep synth atmospheres and sun-kissed dancefloor moments. Highlights include Statues' warming 'Andromeda' and a powerful synth-driven turn from Imogen Soundsystem, while side two leans further into Balearic romance, from Herbert's nostalgic 'At Zuka to Kasper Bjorke's proto-dancefloor elegance. Cohesive, tasteful sunset music with real substance.

The vinyl version of this release compiles the tracks from their two earliest EPs originally released by Ankst whilst the 22 track CD features further unreleased & unheard bonus tracks from this early era.

Super Furry Animals also recently announced additional festival dates to follow their sold out Supacabra Tour dates including stops in Llangollen, Bristol, York, Glasgow and London (their first since late 2016. See full 2026 dates below.

Holding the world record for the longest ever EP title the first EP -Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space), was released in 1995, followed in the same year by Moog Droog, with both EPs making up the eight-song track listing of the vinyl version of Precreation Percolation.

Later that year, with a record deal on the table and future classics such as God! Show Me Magic and Hangin’ With Howard Marks already making up the SFA’s set list, the band’s path following “two years of chaos” (including a legendary 1993 debut ‘gig’ at Bangor University’s Banana Lounge, lasting all of five minutes due to technical and chemical misadventure) was set. In the album’s liner notes, singer, Gruff Rhys writes: “It would have been the best gig ever, had we not daisy chained so many synthesizers together, that it resulted in a terminal systems failure.”

By summer they’d joined Oasis, Primal Scream and The Jesus and Mary Chain in the Creation Records family, leading to a huge London signing party that saw members of the band famously thrown out of.

The term of intriguing genre experimentation, spanning long-form electro, blissed out instrumentals and expansive prog-influenced rock, heard across much of Precreation Percolation was subsequently refined and channeled into their thrilling, 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic and their untamed live performances.


While consciously and frequently referring to the unheard, untold and unforeseen as a naturally nostalgia-resistant band, Super Furry Animals look ahead to reconvening with fans to celebrate their shared history as the Supercabra Tour gets underway.

On May 8, 2026, Camera Obscura celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album, 'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi'. Out-of-print on the format since its initial UK release on Andmoresound in 2001, the 25th anniversary edition is the most definitive version of of 'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi' ever pressed to vinyl, featuring both 'Eighties Fan' B-sides — 'Shine Like a New Pin' and 'Let’s Go Bowling' — which were later added to expanded CD reissues of the album.

'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi' first reached Stateside in 2004, after the success of Camera Obscura’s 2003 Merge debut 'Underachievers Please Try Harder'. New fans who weren’t keyed in to the UK import market or to what John Peel was spinning on his BBC Radio programs would be forgiven for mistaking 'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi' as a follow-up to their breakthrough album as opposed to their first. The album is a remarkably-assured opening statement, a fully realized expression of a sound that has enthralled listeners from their first spin of the Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian) produced 'Eighties Fan' to their last listen of the band’s 2024 return to the studio 'Look to the East, Look to the West'.

Those fans have clamored for 'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi' to receive the vinyl reissue it has long deserved. Setting the needle down on tracks like 'Swimming Pool', 'Pen and Notebook', and 'Happy New Year', it’s easy to hear why: each of the album’s 12 songs are perfectly-observed slices of life rendered cinematic through opulently-detailed arrangements. It’s eternal, bedrock pop music as only Camera Obscura could make it, suitable for the hi-fis of 1966 and 2026 alike.

Continuing in the series of Isis reissues, 'Wavering Radiant' is the band’s final and 2009 release, remastered by James Plotkin. 

The album was produced by Joe Barresi, and the band split just over a year after its release. The album continues Isis' history of lengthy songwriting, yet presents a slight departure from the soft-loud dynamics and post-metal aesthetic which characterized previous releases. It is widely considered the band’s most accessible release in their catalog.

'The Sophtware Slump', Grandaddy’s classic album and one of the most beloved and prescient indie-rock records of its era, is back in print in a limited edition repress on “Dial-a-View Blue” vinyl. Originally released in 2000, Pitchfork called 'The Sophtware Slump' “a sad, quaint, low-key Y2K-era classic,” and the album’s themes of technology, isolation, and environmental decay grow more relevant with each passing year. The rapturous, multi-generational reception to Grandaddy’s recent tour celebrating the 25th anniversary demonstrates the enduring legacy of this seminal band.

Mystic soul supernova, 'Based On A True Story' aka 'BOATS' is the debut studio album from Fat Freddy's Drop unleashed in May 2005. The 'BOATS' album features 10 fresh slices of future funk, with surprises, fakes & freaky sidesteps throughout. 'BOATS' is Aotearoa’s longest-charting album with 111 weeks in the Top 40, won eight NZ Music Awards and took out Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Music Awards in the UK.

On debut in Aotearoa, the independent released 'BOATS' debuted at #1 and went Gold on its first release day. The tracklist featured six completely new tracks, as well as reworked versions of previously released singles like 'This Room', 'Hope' & 'Ernie' [also known as 'Willow Tree'], alongside 'Flashback'

'Sex Packets', Digital Undergrounds groundbreaking debut album, was released on March 20, 1990.

Seamlessly blending funk-infused rhythms with jazz piano and satirical social commentary, the album crafts a unique concept, propelled by the infectious 'Humpty Dance' and the charismatic persona of Humpty Hump. Heavily influenced by P-Funk, the album showcases innovative production by Shock G and addresses themes of sexuality and culture with a playful yet insightful approach.

Originally released in 2011 and ultimately the swan song of the band’s core lineup, In the Grace Of Your Love marked a reset for The Rapture and a welcome return to DFA, the label that helped them make their instantly seminal debut, Echoes. The momentum and success of those years led to a major label roller coaster ride that dumped them right back where they started, scars to show but now free to push beyond the boundaries of expectation.

Guiding them there was the late, great Philippe Zdar, one-half of French dance duo Cassius and producer for the likes of Phoenix and the Beastie Boys. Zdar’s enthusiasm and technical prowess are audible within the record’s first 30 seconds: “Sail Away” is the Rapture gone widescreen and radiant, a five-minute long exhale with disco drums.

There is, of course, plenty of fodder for the dance kids - “How Deep Is Your Love” still slams barroom dance floors in New York City, “Miss You” is a bit of irresistible minor-key mischief - but overall the feeling is one of slowing down, taking stock, searching for meaning and love in more right places than wrong.

Ergo, its finale: “It Takes Time To Be a Man,” a charmingly honest, piano-plonked song about taking responsibility and helping others. It sounds like absolutely nothing else in the Rapture’s catalog and yet also perfectly ends it. Credits roll, time goes on, records still mean everything.

It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream – music that wasn’t getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores… the very first WOMAD Festival took place at the 240-acre Bath and West Showground, Somerset, UK over the weekend of 16–18 July, 1982. With the dream ‘not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right’.

Across the three days ‘an evening concert series’ took place in the Showering Pavilion on the festival site. On the Friday night that concert featured Tian Jin (a song and dance troupe from China), Simple Minds and, with a ‘special festival set of non-album material’, Peter Gabriel.

'Live at WOMAD 1982' is a recording of that Friday night concert. The non-album material in question are seven of the eight songs that would make up the album 'Peter Gabriel 4' (Security). An album that wouldn’t be released for a further two months.

On-stage, Peter is joined by David Rhodes (guitar), John Giblin (bass), Larry Fast (synthesisers). Jerry Marotta (drums), Peter Hammill (vocals) and “the wonderful Bristol-based drum and dance group,” Ekomé (drums, percussion).

“I remember this gig well. We played a mix of old and brand-new material. I would normally be very nervous about playing some of this stuff for the first time, however my mind was very preoccupied with the running of our very first WOMAD festival and the potential financial disaster that it was heading towards.

"Because WOMAD was unique in its focus on music and art from around the world, and mixing it with up with rock and jazz, no-one knew how many people might turn up and we had seriously overestimated our appeal. But those that had decided to check out WOMAD and its weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience. It was a landmark and edgy gig for me both personally and musically and brings back lots of memories.”- Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel’s 'Live a WOMAD 1982' takes us back to not only the birth of a festival – one that has now hosted more than 160 editions in 27 countries - but also to the premiere of an album with songs, like The Rhythm of the Heat, San Jacinto and Shock the Monkey, that have become central to the Gabriel canon. More than just a live album, Live at WOMAD 1982 is a pivotal moment..

The band’s second album with 4AD, recorded in Warren Defever's home studio and remixed by Ivo Watts-Russell and John Fryer (as with their debut), sees 23 songs quick-firing through emotions, with moments of soothing calm soon clashing with white noise and visceral chaos. Highlights include ‘Her Eyes Were Huge’, on which lightly strummed acoustic guitar uplift Karin Oliver’s swooning, gossamer drawl; the synth-led, inquisitive and prickly ‘Are We Still Married?’; and pensive instrumental waltz ‘Siting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking’ (synced in 1996’s Jerry Maguire). A varied yet grounded compilation of new material and old (some dating back to Defever’s junior high days), it found the band entering a confident creative stride, leaving listeners enthralled by both its beauty and darkness and proving Defever’s inspired productions utterly unique.

His Name Is Alive’s third record on 4AD, the first where the band controlled all processes including mixing, saw a marked shift; their most diverse, yet accessible catalogue entry. The project’s soaring growth over time allowed Defever to employ an extraordinarily adventuring approach to the record’s sound and vision, indulging his love for all kinds of music, be it tastes of looped dub (‘Lord, Make Me A Channel of Your Peace’, ‘The Homesick Waltz’), sugar-sweet 1960s pop (‘Baby Fish Mouth’, ‘Lip’), distortion-laden dream-gaze (‘Can’t Go Wrong Without You’), evocative alt-noise (‘Sick’), or strummy folk (‘Where Knock Is Open Wide’). Embracing the surreal and turning their experimentalism up a notch and with Defever’s studio skills truly blossoming, many see this as a high point for the band.

His Name Is Alive’s 1990 4AD label debut 'Livonia' cemented the band’s presence among 4AD’s well-established ethereal lineage, reinventing and refracting the label’s sound through a prism. A tender and slightly deranged dream-pop record, it packages nearly ten years of Defever’s home recordings – brought to haunting chorus via the spectral, feminine vocals of Karin Oliver. Produced and mixed by Ivo Watts-Russell and This This Mortal Coil collaborator John Fryer, the record is a powerful opening statement, inviting intrigue via noisy refrains and textural guitar. It examines the dual themes of love and loss, woozily delivered as if dreamlike.

Originally released in 2003, Singing Bones is the sixth album from Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family, marking their first recordings after relocating from Chicago to Albuquerque—a move that infused their sound with desert heat, noir atmosphere, and a distinctly “Western Gothic” edge. The album gained global recognition when “Far From Any Road” became the theme to True Detective, reaching millions of listeners worldwide, and now returns newly remastered and, for the first time in Europe, on vinyl.

'Almost Here' is the striking debut from Oxford trio Unbelievable Truth, released in 1998 on Virgin Records.

Formed by vocalist and guitarist Andy Yorke, bassist Jason Moulster and drummer Nigel Powell, the band crafted an album that stood apart from the late-Britpop rush with a sound that was intimate, melodic and emotionally direct.

Critically noted for its cohesion and lyrical sincerity, 'Almost Here' established Unbelievable Truth as a thoughtful counterpoint to the era's louder guitar bands. It remains a focused, atmospheric debut that rewards close listening and highlights a band confident in mood, melody and craft.

Louis Armstrong's career began 15 years before Ella Fitzgerald's, in fact, Louis was one of Ella's first musical idols. Although both had met and performed together previously, they wouldn't be heard on record together until 1946, when they waxed a single 78 rpm disc coupling 'The Frim Fram Sauce' with 'You Won't Be Satisfied'. Other odd recordings followed, but it wasn't until 1956 when producer Norman Granz reunited them for three memorable albums that really set them on course for commercial success as a duo; Ella & Louis, as presented here, its sequel Ella & Louis Again, and George Gershwin's Porgy & Bess . The results - some of the most fascinating and enduring jazz vocal music ever produced.

"Ella & Louis is one of the very, very few albums to have been issued in this era of the LP flood that is sure to endure for decades."- ***** Nat Hentoff, DownBeat

'Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow' is the second album from funk innovators Funkadelic, arriving in 1970 mere months after their trailblazing debut. Famously originating from a single LSD-fueled marathon session, the record saw the band honing their songcraft, while still allowing plenty of space for mind-bending exploratory jams. It marked the official introduction of legendary keyboardist Bernie Worrell, and would go on to chart at No. 92 on Billboard’s Pop chart.

Manfredi Romano, founder and A&R of Life and Death Records, has been a pivotal figure in electronic music for over two decades. This year marks an important milestone as he is invited to curate the upcoming fabric presents mix for fabric Records, a release that highlights his instinctive storytelling and the distinct musical identity he has cultivated throughout his career. Manfredi’s journey began in Italy around the turn of the millennium, tour-managing punk bands and organizing left-field music events before completing his studies in computer science at the University of Pisa. He went on to form DAZE, Italy’s first booking agency dedicated exclusively to electronic music, laying the groundwork for what would become a globally influential presence in the scene. In 2010, he shifted focus to his own artistic project, DJ Tennis, which quickly gained international recognition for its emotive blend of house, techno, and disco. Renowned for creating intimate atmospheres in even the largest spaces, DJ Tennis has performed at leading clubs such as Circoloco Ibiza, Fabric London, and Panorama Bar Berlin, and at major festivals including Sonar, Timewarp, Primavera Sound, and Coachella. His 2022 residency at Phonox in London further showcased his ability to shape dancefloors with nuance and depth. Since 2017, he has also co-founded and curated Rakastella, the celebrated Art Basel Miami festival created in partnership with Life and Death and Innervisions. As a producer, DJ Tennis draws from early relationships with post-rock pioneers such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Tortoise, and Fugazi, channelling their influence into intricately layered electronic compositions.

Cranes is a dream pop/shoegaze band formed by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw who rose to stardom following a world tour with the Cure in 1992. After the influential Dedicated label folded in 1998 they went on a two-year hiatus after which they set up their own label Dadaphonic. Here, they released three studio albums between 2001 and 2008, of which this record is their first. Between 1986 and 1997 Cranes released a steady stream of records on Bite Back! and of course Dedicated, and when the latter folded, the Shaw siblings took a relatively long break from recording. Then, in 2001 they returned with a different bassist and drummer, their new Dadaphonic label and a fantastic new record to go along with it. A breathe of fresh air, Future Songs acts as a bridge between their somewhat brusque approach to shoegaze from the 90s and electronica-infused sound from the zeroes. A remarkable effort, especially considering the Shaws recorded almost everything on their own.

The album peaked at Number 3 on the OCC UK Rock and Metal Albums Chart, Number 4 on OCC’s UK Independent Albums and Number 48 in the OCC UK Albums Charts.

NOFX have retired but their legacy lives forever. The band are currently the subject of their first comprehensive exhibit at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. Their documentary, ‘40 Years of Fuckin Up’, makes its premiere at SXSW 2026 and becomes widely available in April. (Score and soundtrack coming soon, featuring new NOFX music).

Ten years ago, Anderson .Paak didn't just release an album; he staged a full-scale takeover of the soul and hip-hop landscape. Released on January 15, 2016, 'Malibu' served as the definitive arrival of an artist who had spent years grinding in the underground before a star-making turn on Dr. Dre’s Compton. While his previous work hinted at his potential, 'Malibu' was the moment the world met the "Cheeky Andy" persona in full—a virtuosic drummer, a raspy-voiced crooner, and a sharp-witted rapper all rolled into one.

The album is a sprawling, sun-drenched journey through the Southern California coast, blending 1970s funk, church-reared gospel, and gritty boom-bap into something that feels both nostalgic and entirely futuristic. With a heavyweight production lineup including 9th Wonder, Madlib, Kaytranada, and Hi-Tek, the record maintains a warm, analog texture that was a breath of fresh air in an increasingly digital era. It’s an album that breathes, full of intentional imperfections and the kind of "in-the-pocket" groove that can only come from a seasoned live performer.

Beyond the infectious, dance-floor-ready energy of tracks like 'Am I Wrong' and 'Come Down', the album is a deeply autobiographical masterwork. .Paak uses the 65-minute runtime to unpack his life story with startling clarity, touching on his mother’s gambling addiction, his father’s incarceration, and his own brushes with homelessness with a sense of resilience that never feels heavy-handed. He weaves these heavy themes through a lens of triumph, grounded by vintage surfing documentary samples that give the project its cinematic, coastal atmosphere. It’s a celebratory record born out of struggle, anchored by his impeccable technicality on the drums and a guest list—featuring ScHoolboy Q, Rapsody, and The Game—that feels hand-picked to complement his specific brand of West Coast swagger.

A decade later, 'Malibu' stands as a modern classic and the blueprint for the soulful revivalism that would eventually lead .Paak to global superstardom and Grammy-winning heights. It remains a testament to the idea that the most profound music often comes from the most personal places, proving ten years on that the best way to move forward is to stay rooted in the groove.

John Henry is a powerhouse of an album - They Might Be Giants' full band debut finds the Johns joined by Brian Doherty on drums, Kurt Hoffman on keys and woodwinds, along with twin rock legends Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, Bob Mould) and Graham Maby (Joe Jackson, Freedy Johnston). Coming off extensive live band touring behind Apollo 18, for TMBG, John Henry is a hard left turn back into the world of the rock combo. While the album is full of wild sonic surprises like the manic improvisation of "Spy" and the rich vocal harmonies delivered by Hudson Shad on "O, Do Not Forsake Me," at the core of the album is a remarkable set of rollicking songs delivered in a direct manner. "Snail Shell," "Subliminal," and "Meet James Ensor" immediately established themselves as show-stoppers, and audiences' appreciation for the album has only grown over the years. This two-disc set is an audiophile's dream. The full 20-track program of the original CD release has been remastered by Sterling Sound and spread over three LP sides. Side D features select live rarities of the John Henry era, pressed on vinyl for the very first time.

Dangerous, bizarre, but most of all cool, The Cramps one again prove themselves as leaders in skull-fracturing rock ʼnʼ roll, delving even deeper into a wicked netherworld where few have dared to tread. They are the architects of a sound that has spawned an entire subversive subculture.

Originally released in 1997, 'Big Beat From Badsville' is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship. The four rare bonus tracks on the CD include the nutty psycho-delic audio inkblot 'Confessions of a Psycho Cat' and Poison Ivy’s chilling instrumental assault-weapon blast 'Peter Gunn'.

Sex-classic 'Stay Sick!' was originally released in 1990 and features more of the dark side of rockabilly in a jugular vein. The opener, a hopped-up cover of obscure Sun Records tune 'Bop Pills', proves that rumors of amphetamine usage by the original Memphis rockabilly cats was not exaggerated, and sets the pace for the rest of the album.

Hog-wild covers of 'Shortninʼ Bread' and 'Muleskinner Blues' probably have the original writers dancing on their graves, and The Cramps’ version of the perverse rarity 'Her Love Rubbed Off' shines a lurid spotlight on the only song that Carl Perkins was admittedly ashamed of writing. Plus, 'Stay Sick!' delivers loads of action-packed originals celebrating kamikaze thrill-seeking and scary sexy she-creatures. This is pure jungle music—one half hillbilly and one half punk. If you canʼt dig this then you must have 'Daisys Up Your Butterfly!' Still a favorite among rock ʼnʼ roll sickos worldwide.

For the last few years Acid Jazz has been the proud custodian of the Albarika Store legacy. Hailing from the small but culturally-significant state of Benin, the label was operational from the late-‘60s until the early ‘80s, and was home to some of the finest, deepest, rawest West African cuts ever.

A font of local and regional music, infused with contemporary Western influences, the beating heart of the Albarika sound was the mighty T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, who in various guises released dozens of recordings for the label, under the leadership of Mêlomé Clément.

The intoxicating originality of their sound stems from their combination of folkloric and sacred rhythms of the region, with the modernist sound of soukous, afrobeat, soul and funk. Recorded at EMI Studios in Lagos, these recordings have a unique high fidelity and have been a target for grail-hunting record collectors for decades. 

For this incredible 2LP collection, Dean Rudland and David Hill compile the Poly-Rythmo 45 releases; 7” single and EP sides lost to the seeds of time. Until now.

Brought together for the first time, presented in a beautiful wide spine layout, the 2 LPs present a snapshot of some of the group’s finest work from the ‘70s, their distinctive beat already honed. The printed inner sleeves include images of the rare and collectable original labels and sleeves, along with sleeve notes by Francis Gooding

THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2026 EXCLUSIVE LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.

1000 copies on Transparent Yellow vinyl. Earth, the pioneering project of Dylan Carlson, laid the groundwork for drone metal with their very first release, 1991’s Extra-Capsular Extraction - a three-track EP that features Kurt Cobain on “A Bureaucratic Desire for Revenge, Part 2.” A cornerstone of heavy minimalism and sludge, this debut marks the arrival of the genre’s original pre-drone gods. Reissued for the first time in 20 years and pressed on colour vinyl. “The fountainheads of drone metal” Pitchfork.

'In The Fishtank' is an ever ongoing project of Konkurrent, an independent music distributor in the Netherlands. For this series of releases Konkurrent invites musicians that they feel strongly related to into the studio to record. They are given two days studio time and freedom to do whatever they like musically, so The Fishtank offers a space for expression and experimentation Laptop artist Christian Fennesz manages to create a world of unheard and rich new sounds. Christian had the idea to collaborate with Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse as, after performing together, both felt that there was further mileage in their collaboration. Just two days in December 2007 were enough to record over 40 minutes of this sublime Fennesz and Sparklehorse combination. Songs and soundscapes of rare beauty with stunning atmospherics, where abstract sounds and well-crafted traditional song structure meet and where acoustic instruments and electronics create outstanding ambience.

'David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter And The Wolf' (1978) is a classical music album containing David Bowie's narration of Sergei Prokofiev's 1936 composition Peter And The Wolf. The music is performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy and the album reached number 136 on the US Pop Albums chart. Critics lauded the album, saying Bowie ‘found his most charming guise since Hunky Dory.’ He tells the well-known fable with his usual eloquence and style, and gives instructions at the beginning for kids to understand how the music corresponds to characters in the story. The accompaniment from the Philadelphia Orchestra is first rate. The Music On Vinyl re-release includes detailed liner notes on the project by Mary Campbell, specifically geared to "introduce children to the sounds of the individual instruments in the symphony orchestra." Both Prokofiev and Britten wrote their respective pieces with this aim in mind.

You don’t have to be a cinephile to know Michael Winner’s 1974 cult vigilante movie Death Wish. Starring the ever-stoic, quintessential action hero Charles Bronson, it was this film that defined the further careers of both Winner and Bronson. Right before this, they collaborated on The Stone Killer, in which Bronson plays a gritty detective from New York sent to L.A. to solve a case involving an old Sicilian Mafia family feud. The soundtrack is composed by jazz pianist and composer Roy Budd, who was also responsible for the much-praised soundtrack of the 1971 classic Get Carter starring Michael Caine.

It begins with a gentle tender melody but it’s a trick, as there is a 70-piece orchestra waiting to pounce. Suddenly the big picture is revealed, and the listener enters a full-on Budd theme with a cool jazz accompaniment. The score perfectly demonstrates Budd's ability to blend jazz with orchestral arrangements in ways unparalleled by very few composers. In typical 1970s fashion, this soundtrack will surely satisfy fans of the jazz-funk and library music found on labels such as KPM and Music De Wolfe.

It mixed Punk with Rockabilly, Blues & Country, and split the difference between Rockabilly and Ramones-style Punk. After more than four decades of performing, Social Distortion continues to tour and create new music, with their eighth studio album expected in 2026.

In the hot summer month of 1975 when Toward The Sun was released, Druid were a young band on a roll with the patronage of DJ Bob Harris (producer of the album) and British music paper the Melody Maker (whose competition they had recently won). Druid's debut album occupies the kind of AOR space that some of the major Prog bands would turn to during the late 70s. Laced with acoustic guitars, 'flutes' and lush keyboards, neatly wrapped in a Symphonic Prog overcoat of more adventurous instrumental passages. All instruments meld together quite naturally to produce a full and balanced sound, full of light and shade.

Back in 1990 the New Bomb Turks got together as four Ohio State University Students who "just wanted to rock". With Nightmare Scenario, New Bomb Turks returned to their snaggle-toothed first mistress — hard-driving, no-holds-barred American punk rock. With the guitar jive of Chuck Berry, the blinding ferocity of Motörhead and the snot of The Dead Boys, singer Eric Davidson and his backing trio fire off a dozen grenades of authentic old-school three-chord riff-rock in little over a half-hour, with nary a pause for breath between tracks. You can’t quibble with the four-on-the-floor intensity of tunes like opening salvo Point To A Point Blank. It was recorded over four days and nights, the only break being a jaunt over to a bar to see a reunited Real Kids, their first show in years, which floored the band and only added more mezcal to the fire.

Six years after "Hello Nasty", an older, wiser and entirely essential Beastie Boys re-emerged with "To The 5 Boroughs", a passionate love letter to NYC written in the wake of 9/11. As usual they deliver their irrepressible tag team rhymes, mixing up celebrations of their home city with witty put downs of George W and his policies, and of course their usual stoopid bragging, but this time dropping them over stripped down backing tracks, that give a nod to the past (check "Triple Trouble" with its Sugarhill Gang samples), while obviously being influenced by hip hop and R'n'B's more recent electronic styles.

This deluxe edition features 11 bonus tracks, including remixes and B-sides.

'Generic Flipper', the debut album by Flipper, remains the most absorbing full-length LP to emerge from the early San Francisco punk scene. A constant source of imitation for so-called “noise rock” bands, it has yet to be surpassed in its nihilistic glee.

Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatter and Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi’s icy guitar scraping and the relentless beat of drummer Steve DePace. At times playful and taciturn, paranoid and absurd, Generic charts a deliberate path that willfully chances destruction.

In early ’80s punk, when the hardening default was “faster-shorter-louder,” Generic subverts the nascent hardcore scene with a strictly applied regimen of turgid-slowerheavier. The lyrics are bleak, yet unnervingly beautiful. 'Ever' sets the tone with trademark restraint—“Ever wish the human race didn’t exist? And then realize you’re one too?”—while closer 'Sex Bomb' is a churning, 8-minute epic with looping bass, saxophone accompaniment and electronic effects of dropping bombs.

Tons of indie bands have attempted to recreate Flipper’s mix of acidic guitar, metallic bass sludge and sardonically brilliant lyricism, using the seemingly effortless template they pioneered; however, the effect usually drives listeners right back to Generic. While most of their contemporaries wilt under direct comparison, No Trend, the Butthole Surfers, feedtime and Church Police are a few who can stand the frigid heat.

My Favorite Things is one of John Coltrane 's all time bestselling LPs. Recorded in 1960 for Atlantic Records during three marathon sessions that also produced enough music for four subsequent albums: Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy.

The LP's title tune belongs to the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music, which at the time, might have seemed an odd choice by critics and fans. However, in Coltrane's hand the tune is spun out with an Eastern sound, a waltz reminiscent of a dervish dance, hypnotic and totally engaging. An edited version of the track was issued as a single and gained popularity across US radio stations, resulting in the LP becoming a major commercial success.

My Favorite Things features John Coltrane 's first recorded performance on soprano saxophone - an instrument gifted to him by Miles Davis.

Never released before collection featuring Ian A Anderson & Maggie Holland recorded 72-80 is among Tucker’s finest - Free-ranging, Playful, Intimate - his Songpoet imagination unbound and in full bloom now on colour Vinyl for first time with (exclusive to this version) illustrated lyric insert with notes from Tucker.

Recorded between 1972-80 this is the first ever release for ‘I Wonder If I’ll Ever Come True’ a stunningly beautiful, homegrown collection by Songpoet Tucker Zimmerman and friends. The range and depth is astonishing. From the heady surreal journey of ‘It All Depends’ Upon the Pleasure Man’, to the uplifting Gene Clark-esque 'So It Goes’, to some of his most beautiful & touching love songs in ‘Let’s Start Over Again’ & ‘Song’. Only one song has seen the the light of day before now - ‘Taoist Tale’ from his 1984 album ‘Word Games’. This recording from a decade earlier loses no power in its folkier stripped down style driven by Tucker’s strong narrative.While living in bucolic seclusion in Belgium with Marie-Claire, Tucker invited visiting musicians (Derroll Adams, Wizz Jones, Maggie Holland, Dave Evans, Ian Anderson) into his home studio to play and live tape whatever songs he had at hand. Maggie Holland and Ian A Anderson feature, while Tucker found a freeing simplicity in just guitar, ’70s organ, bass and piano. We are so grateful to Ian A Anderson, who carefully kept and curated these recordings from 50 years ago. “Every time I would leave, Tucker would hand me another tape full of songs”. Ian worked with Tucker and ourselves to present this wonderful album. The collection is among Tucker’s finest - free-ranging, playful, intimate - his Songpoet imagination unbound and in full bloom. The ethos, the playing, the freedom, feels like Ronnie Lane’s time in the Welsh Borders. Unhurried, liberated, down-home and cosmic. Extraordinary music made among friends.

English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Love began her musical career in the late 70s with the legendary Dolly Mixture, a group of three teenage friends who subverted pretty much every rock cliche imaginable with their bright, energetic DIY pop music and created the template for countless non-dude bands since. No one used the words postpunk or indiepop back then, but Dolly Mixture are in the DNA of both.

After Dolly Mixture wrapped-up in 1984 Rachel continued writing and playing music, but it wasn't until 2021 that she released the first record under her own name. 'Picture In Mind' is packed with lush, dreamy pop that sits comfortably between 60s sunshine pop and and the mod-ish sounds of groups like Saint Etienne and Broadcast. Tunes like 'Primrose Hill', 'Wandlebury' and 'Borrowed Time' drift by like daydreams, foregrounding Rachel's lovely voice and melodies. Co-produced with her late husband, Steve Lovell (Blur, Julian Cope), 'Picture In Mind' is minimal but never overly spare; rather it basks in a warm simplicity that feels like a tonic in these hectic times.

English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Love began her musical career in the late 70s with the legendary Dolly Mixture, a group of three teenage friends who subverted pretty much every rock cliche imaginable with their bright, energetic DIY pop music and created the template for countless non-dude bands since. No one used the words post-punk or indiepop back then, but Dolly Mixture are in the DNA of both. Post Dolly Mixture, Rachel kept busy writing and playing music in various groups, leading in 2021 to 'Picture In Mind', an elegantly pastoral sunshine/folk/indie pop album co-produced with her late husband Steve Lovell.

Rachel's 2024 album 'Lyra' was written and recorded as she processed Steve's passing, joined by her sons David and Syd as players, with David also co-producing. Musically 'Lyra' is very much of a piece with 'Picture In Mind', surveying intimate folk-tinged pop, elegant atmospheres and gentle melodicism that perfectly complements the stately, sorrowful tunes. Songs like 'Without You', 'Fly Me Away' and 'April Love' are beautifully-effecting chamber pop, lush and dreamy odes to love, loss and family.

Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues, served as a session musician for peacock and back beat records, and played straight ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him to a path first charted by Coltrane. “Free As You Wanna Be”, his first album with his band The Lightmen, predates the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East: This album is a harbinger of the collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo that emerged in the 1970s jazz underground.

‘Bad Wiring’ by Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage, originally released in 2019 and long ago sold out, is re-released in UK/Europe on Blang Records. Recorded in Nashville by Roger Moutenot (Lou Reed, Yo La Tengo, Sleater-Kinny) the album blends raw lo-fi garage-punk with acoustic interludes. His trademark literate lyrics, moving between the poignant and the hilarious, shift from personal anxieties to existential dread (often in the same song eg, ‘My Girlfriend Doesn't Worry'), record stores ('LPs') and under-appreciated artists ('Exactly What Nobody Wanted'). The album was greeted with widespread acclaim in 2019 with many reviewers declaring it his best yet.

A hidden gem of late-’70s soft rock and AOR sophistication, Craig Dove is a quietly radiant self-titled album that lives at the crossroads of singer-songwriter soul and West Coast studio craft.

Originally released in scarce numbers, Dove’s lone full-length statement has become a sought-after cult favorite — a record defined by warm analog textures, mellow grooves, and a voice that carries both vulnerability and ease. With understated arrangements, melodic hooks, and the smooth polish of peak-era album-oriented rock, Craig Dove captures a moment when soft rock, blue-eyed soul, and jazz-tinged pop converged effortlessly.

This newly restored edition, licensed from the Numero Group catalog, brings the album back into circulation with in faithful presentation, offering a rare chance to experience one of the era’s most overlooked treasures in full depth.

For fans of private-press soul, AOR deep cuts, and timeless songwriter albums that reveal more with every listen, Craig Dove is a long-overdue return.

So what is Sweet Soul? Maybe the sweet spot between lowrider and symphonic soul? Lush yet vibrant production, seemingly wrapped in audible silk, sure to give every listener pause. Either way, if one thing is certain, its purpose stays perfectly clear. Pleasure, low and slow, bajito y suavecito. Every kiss begins with soul, or sweet soul for low rides.

Sweet soul is the predecessor to what we now call modern soul. It came into its own in the late ’60s and ’70s, alongside—but apart from—the grittier, funk-driven soul dominating the airwaves. Where that music pushed hard rhythms and raw emotion, sweet soul softened the edges. It favored melody, warmth, and polish, giving it a calm, lush feel that made it easy to return to, and easy to love, even decades later.

This album brings together some of the finest music ever released on Black Jazz Records which in its short four-year history between 1971 and 1975, released over 20 superlative albums which all successfully blending spiritual jazz, funk and soul jazz of the highest calibre.

Similar to other independent jazz labels at the time including Strata-East Records and Tribe Records, Black Jazz focussed on a number of key artists, most of whom first established their career during this period, and all of whom are featured here.

Featuring The Awakening, Doug Carn, Walter Bishop, Chester Thompson, Kellee Patterson and more.

Black Jazz Records was founded in Oakland, California, by pianist Gene Russell and percussionist Dick Schory. The label released twenty albums between 1971 and 1975.

Artists who recorded for Black Jazz Records included Cleveland Eaton (bassist for Ramsey Lewis), keyboardists Doug Carn and Chester Thompson, vocalist Kellee Patterson, saxophonist Rudolph Johnson, bassist Henry Franklin, and spiritual fusion group The Awakening.

The label was distributed and financed by Ovation Records, based in Chicago. Schory founded Ovation in 1969, shortly after leaving RCA. Schory was a Grammy-nominated percussionist who was also known for his development of the stereo recording techniques including Dynagroove, and RCA Victor’s Stereo Action. Schory also pioneered quadrophonic sound, and a number of Black Jazz Records were in quadrophonic and other formats such as ¼” tape and 8-track.

Black Jazz launched in 1971 with Gene Russell’s ‘New Direction’. Russell was the creative force behind the label, acting as producer, engineer and A&R and focussed on developing new solo artists. The most successful of these was Doug Carn, who released four albums featuring his wife, Jean Carn, as vocalist. She later changed her name to Jean Carne and became a successful soul singer signed to Gamble and Huff’s Philadelphia International empire.

Singer Kellee Patterson gained notice as the first black Miss Indiana in 1971, before recording ‘Maiden Voyage’, her debut album for the label. Keyboardist Chester Thompson would go on to join Tower of Power and later Santana. The Awakening featured top veteran musicians from Chicago - the only Chicago group signed to the label. Drummer and percussionist Arlington Davis Jr, bassist Reggie Willis, flautist and tenor saxophonist Richard (Ari) Brown and trumpeter Frank Gordon were all members of the Association for The Advancement of Creative Musicians. Trombonist Steve Galloway and Ken Chaney were part of Philip Cohran and The Artistic Ensemble.

Black Jazz Records released 20 or so superlative albums in a four-year period, all successfully blending spiritual jazz, funk and soul jazz. This album brings together some of the finest music released by the label in its short four-year history, closing its doors finally in 1975.

Academy Award® nominated actors Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are Lightning and Thunder (Mike and Claire Sardina), the tremendous Neil Diamond tribute at the centre of this showstopping new spin on a jukebox musical.

Following the well received "Prince Philip Presents..." 2xLP compilation from last year, here's a lovely overview of the second phase of Philip's career, as engineer & producer at his own studio, HC&F. These ten tracks comprise our favorites from his production catalog, spanning the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions. The album holds a mix of well known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser known gems. We'd be remiss in not mentioning that this album also contains two previously unreleased cuts - a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's "Get Smart" radio show, which ran for many many years on New York University's WNYU radio station.

This album brings together key tracks from Doug Carn recorded for Black Jazz Records in the 1970s.

Doug Carn is one of the most-important (and least-recognised) forces in the creation of the canon of 'deep and spiritual jazz music' - full of powerfully emotive intensity, consciously-uplifting lyricism and addictively beautiful melodies.

All of his LPs during this period have since achieved cult classic status including 'Infant Eyes', 'Adam's Apple', 'Spirit of the New Land' and 'Revelation'.

Aside from his songwriting and keyboard skills, many of the tracks here feature the stunning and powerful 5-octave range vocals of Jean Carn (later Carne), his wife at the time.

Musicians featured on this album include Alphonse Mouzon, Charles Tolliver, Henry Franklin, Michael Carvin, Walter Booker, Ronnie Laws and others. Aside from Carn’s compositions there are also striking interpretations of music by Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson and Wayne Shorter.

Black Jazz became one of the defining labels of independent and conscious jazz music in the 1970s alongside other important labels such as Strata-East and Tribe Records. As well as this Best of Doug Carn release, Soul Jazz Records are also releasing a Best of Black Jazz Records collection at the same time.

The incandescent voice of Tim Buckley took him on a journey from fragile folk rocker to boldly experimental avant-garde icon in nine short years of recordings. Here we capture him at the beginning of his career with his sparkling 1966 debut album, which featured the Elektra label’s “A-Team” that produced the Doors: label owner and producer Jac Holzman, producer Paul Rothchild, and engineer Bruce Botnick. Not to mention such West Coast legends like arranger Jack Nitzsche, keyboardist Van Dyke Parks, and drummer Billy Mundi accompanying Buckley’s long-time collaborators Lee Underwood on guitar and Jim Fielder on bass. To label Tim Buckley a promising first effort is to give it short shrift; the only aspect arguably holding this record back from being an utter masterpiece is the tentative timbre of Buckley’s voice, but that’s only in comparison to his late career vocal acrobatics. And, in some ways, his “shyness” just lends an evanescent, vulnerable quality to the astonishingly sophisticated lyrical and melodic flights of this 19-year-old artist. We’ve remastered Tim Buckley for vinyl and pressed it in coke clear vinyl…prepare to be transported.

'Girls Fiesta' is a notable album by Ranking Dread, released in 1978. It is celebrated for its vibrant mix of dancehall and reggae styles, featuring energetic rhythms and engaging lyrics that reflect the lively Jamaican party scene. The album showcases Ranking Dread's unique vocal delivery and charismatic presence, which helped solidify his place in the dancehall genre.

Ranking Dread was as much of a myth and enigma as he was a music man and badman. But today he remains the connoisseur’s Dee Jay, admired for his slick style and delivery and compared to other noteworthy DJ’s of the time, can be seen as crucially under-recorded, having only released 4 albums and a handful of singles in his recording career. 'Girls Fiesta' is Ranking Dread’s first album, originally released in 1978 and contains some tough Linval Thompson rhythms taken from various Linval productions, most notably his 'Love Is The Question' album.

Ozma was recorded soon after Melvins made the move from Washington to San Francisco, and was their first release to include the diminutive yet mighty Lorax (Lori Temple Black) on bass. In fact, the first sound one hears at the album’s opening is Lori standing on her tiptoes to switch on her amp, thereby warning the listener of the onslaught to come. Distorted, down-tuned doom riffs start, stop, lurch sideways with no warning, and seem to end before they start. Buzz Osborne adds extraneous guitar static and vocal squeals. Drummer Dale Crover plays as if he’s inside a barrel going over Niagara Falls; the long, slow fall allows the space between beats to grow and grow until he crashes into the water with the vessel blasting apart in an explosion of drum rolls. The classic Melvins heavy grind is set up and broken up by assorted odd sidetracks: “Revulsion / We Reach” flows forward slower and slower until it eventually melts into a gooey feedback drone. “Raise a Paw” is a superball paddled against one’s head by a grinning village idiot. “Love Thing” enlists in the Kiss Army before getting dishonorably discharged.

Melvins' follow-up to 1989’s Ozma was 1991’s groundbreaking Bullhead. The songs are longer, the mood is calmer, yet more menacing. “Boris” (which gave the Japanese group their name) is a long, slow, low death march of addiction and self-abuse. “Zodiac” is a frantic punk rock machine gun blasting away at Buzz’s demons (both inner and outer). “Cow” is a happy baboon bashing away at the best drum solo of his life. “It’s Shoved” is a groovy beat for the cast of Shindig to bop along to, until their carefree performances of The Pony, The Mashed Potato, and The Watusi are horribly interrupted by the soundstage tilting up and sliding them all into a mangled heap of screaming dancers, broken cameras and flaming electronic equipment at the bottom.

London based composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Akusmi's ‘Lines’, an exhilarating collection of works born from the desire to take where the acclaimed debut album ‘Fleeting Future’ left off — in search of a new forms. “

Formed with a sense of urgency and a reductive approach ‘Lines’ is almost entirely comprised of alto saxophone, clarinet and piano with embellishments of ambience and minimal percussive elements. Recorded in full at his home studio in London, Pascal Bideau speaks about the process:
“I wanted to go a bit more a bit more horizontal and ambient, work with layers of lines, might they be dotted or straight, and leave them to unfold and see where they would take me.”

‘Secant’ is the electrifying and cinematic opener, emerging with the main motif deriving from the recording sessions of ‘Fleeting Future’. It’s distinct sound echoes New York, a homage in part to the works of Steve Reich and inspired also by train travels across the English countryside. Rhythmical looping pianos unite with shifting strings that build to a symphony of hypnotic rich layers, towards a euphoric and filmic climax.

‘Oblique’ on the other hand is otherworldly and hopeful, a breathtaking musical meeting between Jazz and Ambient minimalist music. Rich layered saxophones sound a patterned melody, meshed with dotted piano, swirling electronics and percussive hits, before deep diving into shimmering ambient tones echoing like summer rainfall against windows. Akusmi uniquely finds the spaces in between experimental, crossover classical and ambient music.

‘Parallel’ is the ambient companion to the acclaimed title debut album track ‘Fleeting Future’, featuring a stripped back chord progression constructed with less order and written render.

‘Tangent’ is a pointillist piece that stemmed from a session with friend and collaborator Daniel Brandt. Cyclical guitars loop ebb and flow reminiscent of Manuel Göttsching.

4. Tangent

This expanded edition of 'Some Friendly' celebrates their landmark 1990 debut album. The 20 songs on this release include the original album plus a selection of bonus tracks curated especially for this release by Tim Burgess. The album has been newly remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road and will be pressed on double white vinyl with a printed inner gatefold sleeve.

The Charlatans formed in 1988 and released their debut single 'Indian Rope' in early 1990. They began recording 'Some Friendly' shortly after with producer Chris Nagle. The blistering lead single, 'The Only One I Know' was their first top-10 hit, and is still their most popular song. Two additional singles followed with 'Then' and 'Sproston Green'.

The band’s success comes not just from their ability to be able to ride the groove but also from their talent for writing standout songs. These were the gifts that made them among the greatest British survivors of our time, rolling through tragedy and stylistic changes to amass a terrific body of work - one that was modern enough to play in clubs but classicist enough to stand the test of time, and one that continues to grow to this day.

Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in their college band called The Artistics. In the spring semester of 1974, the band gathered in Frantz’s Benefit Street apartment to record a demo tape.

For Sofia Kourtesis, joy is a living practice. It's evident in her effervescent stage presence and bombastic sets, which confidently traverse through house, electro-pop and melodic techno. The Peruvian DJ and producer has forged a vibrant and illustrious career that has taken her to all corners of the globe.

Kourtesis's debut DJ-Kicks mix is a potent blend of the beautiful, complex emotional soup that has made her connect so deeply with her fans. But during the compiling process, Kourtesis grappled with one of the most difficult emotions she's ever had to endure: unbearable grief. "Losing my mother, my idol, knocked the wind out of me. But as the seasons shifted, I found myself back in Peru. Being there made me feel close to her again, like she was in the air. Slowly, music started to come back to me, not as noise, but as strength. It felt like reconnecting with her spirit, honouring everything she gave me. This chapter of my life has forever changed how I hear music. It's more fragile now, and in a strange way, it feels like a gift she left me; a reminder that even in loss, there's still beauty and connection."

The mix is a chameleonic voyage through the moods, sounds and emotions that made up her interior world during the compilation process. She flits through the electronic spectrum with ease, not only indulging the needs of the dance floor but the quiet moments of introspection, too. "DJ-Kicks is a series that shaped how I think about DJing and listening. I played the DJ Koze mix an unhealthy number of times, to the point where it basically lives in my DNA now," she smiles. "Those mixes taught me that the best ones aren't about showing off; they're about taking people on a journey. They move, twist and surprise you. They give you goosebumps when you least expect it."

If Kourtesis mother's memory is a gift that has the power to comfort and heal, then this DJ-Kicks entry is Kourtesis sharing it and paying it forward; a heartfelt offering of love, movement and eternal gratitude. "This mix was about bringing together all the different sounds and emotions I carry with me. The highs, the lows, the warmth, the weird little left turns. That's basically how my brain works when I'm behind the decks. This is my way of letting those worlds collide, overlap and dance with each other," she says. "That's exactly what I wanted to do here. I wanted emotion, tension, release. I wanted this mix to feel alive."

It was well received on release and has continued to be featured in critics ‘Best Of’ lists such as The Guardian’s 1000 Albums To Hear Before You Die (“ one of the most excoriating, exhilarating British indie albums of (the 90s)”.

'Pure Comedy', Father John Misty’s third album, is a complex, often-sardonic, and, equally often, touching meditation on the confounding folly of modern humanity. Father John Misty is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Josh Tillman. While we could say a lot about 'Pure Comedy' – including that it is a bold, important album in the tradition of American songwriting greats like Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and Leonard Cohen – we think it’s best to let its creator describe it himself. Take it away, Mr. Tillman: 'Pure Comedy' is the story of a species born with a half-formed brain. The species’ only hope for survival, finding itself on a cruel, unpredictable rock surrounded by other species who seem far more adept at this whole thing (and to whom they are delicious), is the reliance on other, slightly older, half-formed brains. This reliance takes on a few different names as their story unfolds, like “love,” “culture,” “family,” etc. Over time, and as their brains prove to be remarkably good at inventing meaning where there is none, the species becomes the purveyor of increasingly bizarre and sophisticated ironies. These ironies are designed to help cope with the species’ loathsome vulnerability and to try and reconcile how disproportionate their imagination is to the monotony of their existence.Something like that. 'Pure Comedy' was recorded in 2016 at the legendary United Studios (Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Beck) in Hollywood, CA. It was produced by Father John Misty and Jonathan Wilson, with engineering by Misty’s longtime sound-person Trevor Spencer and orchestral arrangements by renowned composer/double-bassist Gavin Bryars (known for extensive solo work, and work with Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Derek Bailey).

Volunteers is Jefferson Airplane fifth studio album. The album is a real sign of the times with politically charged lyrics dealing with the injustice of the Vietnam war. The album was seen as pretty controversial, but was also really loved by critics such as Rolling Stone. Technologically, the album was actually ahead of its time with the usage of the state-of-the-art 16-track tape machine giving the album its powerful layered sound. Sonically and historically this album still has music fans interested after 55 years, making it a real classic.

Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It’s no wonder that “Just the Two of Us” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Still Bill is Withers' third studio album and continues to showcase his remarkable versatility, touching upon smooth Philly soul, funk, blues and 70s folk slash singer/songwriter. Upon release the record was both a commercial and critical success and is considered a landmark 1970s R&B record. It features the hit singles "Lean on Me" and "Use Me", as well as "Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?" appearing on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Unsurprisingly, next to Just As I Am, this record also made it into Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, coming in at #333.

Considered by many the template for 1990s indie rock. Versus’ first full-length album became an instant cult classic. Recorded by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Helium, Lilys) at his Studio Red in March of 1994 and released just six weeks later in early May of that same year on the Teenbeat label. Finally back on vinyl LP with all new art on the outside (designed by Unrest’s Mark Robinson) and the original art on a full-color innersleeve, plus an OBI strip holding the package together. While the first pressing didn’t include the track 'Fallow', this edition has all 12 songs from the CD. Each of them remastered by Scott Anthony.

Formed in New York City in 1990 by guitarist Richard Baluyut and bassist Fontaine Toups, Versus became one of the most important, influential and underrated bands in the then budding indie-rock genre.
