it’s the idea of capturing a moment on vinyl that created the first release of “henk”. after countless hours of twitching the knobs on their machines the dj’s and producers stikdorn and mk braun created a string of tracks that will now see the light of day on their collaborative label. on the a1 a solo track by stikdorn takes you into darker spheres with an acid line and mystic strings/vocals. the a2 is an acidic banger ready to damage some dance floors seriously. on the b-side things get slower and quirkier. b1 is a bit broken and features a trippy acid line to guide you through lots of different drum patterns. b2 is a melancholic ride going seriously deep and mellow. the perfect closing track!
two brilliant, previously unissued modern soul discoveries from the archive of u.t.b. mastermind andre gibson. “my lucky stars” rides the 120 bpm crest, with sharp horns, handclaps, triangle, and a wild guitar solo filling out the four and a half minute ride. “dreamality” cops a steve miller vibe and goes on a spaced-out future funk adventure.

galaxians golden armageddon on natural sciences pulls at the virus that is lodged deep within the collective consciousness of mankind. a record challenging our ideas of bounty and material wealth by placing the human race in the palms of blood-sucking cultural institutions. institutions such as big pharma, religious mega-structures, consumer trends and tax schemes which have worked to reduce human behaviour to fetishised objects and de- humanised masses. it s a record that pulls away the shackles, asking for a new trail of thought through de-programming. electro pulses for enlightenment. get woke.
alelah records presents the debut album from polow – in da diggalow, recorded at hilberts grand hotel with tracks produced between 2017 and 2019. dusty instrumental beats, hazy jazz loops and mpc-styled hip hop treats across two sides of a lovingly created cassette tape. a pure unadulterated listening experience that deserves the time and space that a tape can offer. kick back, light up that incense and lose yourself in this one.
