cosmic handshakes sees the pairing of 2 extremely talented detroit natives - blair french & todd modes - who take elements of disco, techno, jazz, house, afrobeat, latin music, dub and electronics and filter them through their own unique view of dance music. steeped in soul, live instrumentation, sampling and analogous alchemical studio processes, french & modes give us an exhilarating and fresh take on the deepest smoked out, after hours sounds of the city of detroit. in the mist is the duo s second release, following on from 2013 s the delicate details , released on the m1 sessions imprint. the last 2-3 years has seen the pair individually release music on a plethora of varied and esteemed global labels such as fit sounds, claremont 56, rocksteady discos and more. we at gghq are very excited to finally share with the world what we feel is hands down one of our favourite releases yet. a compelling body of work from front to back, the tracks on in the mist work perfectly as a self contained home listener, or as we ve found, just as well on a darkened dancefloor, leaving the choice up to you, the listener.

jexy is getting all up close and personal on his new hi-fi house release. featuring the canadian and singer pal isha d on vocals, -human emotion- is a love song that doubles as a call to disconnect and find real love. netflix and chill? how about just chill! meanwhile, the lounge vibe is strengthened on the sophisticated -botanico,- while on -fifth wind,- jexy channels some trip-jazz with a slow breaks drum pattern. the ep is rounded out by -infinity room,- a melodic groover that should please fans of jex s earlier work. recommended!!

lucky number seven for good company records is the o.g.ep, roza terenzi s cheekily-titled debut. three tracks of doof-approved club gear from the perth-born melbourne resident, plus a bonus sunday-morning-coming-up megamix from vancouver s jayda g. with a sound like windham hill gone hardcore, this record promises fans from black rock to berlin. after the driving, new age electro of opener the right zone, terenzi declares yeh yeh yeh with a bush-bashing jeep of a bassline, blasting roxanne shante as the posse pile out of the whip & into the function. later, higher place sparks the chalice for a pre-dawn dip into the spirit realm. sometime after that, designated driver (and freakout cult-leader) jayda g takes the wheel, pulling into the church car park with her deep in your soul remix, a piano house kick-on of all three roza terenzi originals. feels good, right?

born and raised by jamaican parents in london, england, alpheus developed a passion for singing after seeing an old recording of sam cooke perform on television, and performing on local sound systems in london as a youth. his love for ska rocksteady and reggae developed as he was exposed to singers like john holt, marcia griffiths, don carlos, dennis brown, frankie paul, michael gordon, keith douglas, thriller u, maxi priest, and many more great artists.

following on from our previous gladys knights & the pips 12inch ( love is always on my mind / bourgie bourgie cat no: disco115) it gives us great pleasure to re-issue her most sought-after and in-demand 12inch the walter gibbons remix of it s a better than good time backed with the full version of saved by the grace of your love. this is a legendary and super-rare 12inch which was only ever issued in canada and has become something of a holy grail for serious dance music collectors over the years. a decent condition copy will currently set you back £300+ and that s only if you re lucky enough to find one! it s a gibbons master-class like you know he can. fully remastered on limited edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.

“rocks foe returns to black acre with new, eight-track project ‘fight the good? fight’ — a dark and conceptual record built around the notion of, according to rocks himself, “everything being an internal and external battle”. a powerful lyricist and complex story-teller, rocks’ sound combines hyper-fierce spitting with his own, abstract beat sketches. having released his impressive debut ep, ‘legion’, back in 2015 — a raw, self-produced grime-rap hybrid — he has since remained dormant to the outside world, bar a quick-fire feature on commodo’s ‘how what time’ lp in 2016.

the following three-tracker release is one of those that are about to take you on a very clear ride. we will start with some tensioning and rising loops and will keep you up while the swiftly vibes are getting to you. with the first composition on a side, alex won’t give you a break - it’s a one breath composition where you don’t have any time for a second thought. when it looks like both chunky bass and kicks are going away - a very sharp-shaped and acidy synth will remain on the watch and will ensure the continuously driving thrill. getting to the second part of this side, what can we say, straight from the beginning a thick bass line makes it’s introduction in order to lead you into some awakeness on a early morning on the dancefloor. stepping into the game, diferit on the remix for b side is bringing you a blend of both tracks you’ve heard before. very rich in vibrations of different spectres and proveniences - from very clear and clean kicks to a bouncy bass line to the very zippy and zappy sounds of his unique style. the pleasure of having these two minds behind the second release of aforisme is ours.

we are proud to present the 11th release on going good, fittingly by xi (sex tags mania, sued). with earlier releases fetching up to at least 3/4 times original value, xi s work is in demand and this will be only their 4th release since their first in 2009. quality over quantity being the mantra it would seem.. plus running labels, putting on parties, producing under various other guises and djing/performing live around the world also feeding into the size of output.

“good as i been to you” from 1992 is an album with modest ambitions. recorded at his malibu home in his garage studio, it is filled with traditional folk songs, bluegrass standards & other covers. there isn’t an original composition in sight, still its an intimate portrait of a legendary musician.
original vinyls arent easy to come by, so it was a no-brainer to re-issue this classic album on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

der dramatische thriller der beiden safdie-brüder ist eine hypnotische odyssee durch die new yorker unterwelt, in der der protagonist verzweifelt versucht, seinen bruder aus dem gefängnis zu holen. die hauptrollen spielen robert pattinson (in seiner bislang besten performance) und jennifer jason leigh. musik und bilder gehen dabei eine symbiose von unglaublicher tiefe ein, wenn banale events zu dramen und montagen zu miniopern werden. oneohtrix point never gelingt mit dem soundtrack ein ausgesprochenes hörerlebnis, das seinen exzellenten studioalben in nichts nachsteht, und mit -the pure and the damned- featuring iggy pop einen markanten schlüsseltrack enthält.

dj bone is differ-ent. but then again, he always has been. a pioneer dj and producer hailing from detroit, whose technical skills are perhaps only equalled by the upper echelons of the city s most advanced techno trailblazers, he s nonetheless forged a path only of his own. eschewing commercial expectations, scene pressures and anything other than his own exquisite taste, bone has earned a vital, dedicated audience while remaining comfortably and individually underground.

fresh from perth s most prolific percussion den, we re proud to introduce gcr006: the keenly-awaited debut lp from local rhythm magician phil stroud. presented in an absorbing listening arc and captured with crystal clarity, this self-titled slow burner is an artful and meditative journey, filled out with straight up danceable joy. in just over an hour, stroud leads a pilgrimage through intricate landscapes of percussive beauty. there s the restrained, hypnotic approach of ritual and tribe in amongst organic house workouts with rich orchestrations. nimble vocal motifs and shimmering flutes ride the hefty grooves of the birds, scintillating and outside as field recordings surprise and delight. fix a glass of punch in time for the smooth, melodic neo-exotica of flow. and as the physical plane fades away, lose yourself in the shimmering ambience of middle east, a mellow final act recalling the more mystic moods of alice coltrane.

the long awaited ninth release from going good is here. the first live incarnation of naples infamous mystic jungle collective. analogue improv captured live in front of an audience of around 100 people in an art-space in the city. sprawling across 2 sides of wax uninterrupted and encapsulating the tribe s cosmic drenched machine funk live in napoli is a fascinating document of a crew formulating something that touches equally on boogie, new age, house and esoterica with ease while oozing the sophistication and singular style the mjt have become known for in recent years. recorded in 2015. released by going good in 2017.

lost classics, loft classics and leftfield antics crammed into one double-o dose of good plus plastic! the crew set the gas to a sultry simmer with outer-galactic opener amantes cosmicos , lending a little looped up jump juice to a sci-fi disco favourite. thrusting bass and sequencer sizzle speed the starship ever-onwards, approaching warp speed as the widescreen kalimba unlocks the stargate.

while the rest of the world basks in the body glo of a dreamy label debut from australia s bronze savage, moonboots & boardman are straight back to business, uniting a diverse cast of mancunian talent for a four track collaboration with clothing brand good measure. after romancing our ears with the emotional pop of delicious crime back on nado 1001, half silk returns to balearic base camp with the exotic exploits of tsukimi , a coastal cooler for hot summer nights. borrowing a bustling bossa from the libraries of japan, the mystery man canters through infectious organ licks, eleki guitars and subdued synths, darting between surf and city pop with a trail of tape delay in his wake.

rather a freak than a follower.
