sydney via melbourne-sider cop envy brings forth two heartbursting, patient and effective tools to mark the return of the cry baby imprint - long silent after their debut exploration with dan white. the anachoic, blistering tones of balanced push the vinyl medium to it’s absolute limits with heavy, heavy bass and incredulously well produced embellishments making this a dj tool for the year 3000. leisure laces the flip with something a little closer to the present day no thanks to barely melodic musical structures peeling away to reveal the rhythmic intricacies and soul rattling subsonics that roll effortlessly through to the bitter end. rewind.

deep / late night styled house... jazzy moods

the songs, the words, the melodies in this album, they all matter to me because they represent the real time outworking of my own trauma, pain and discovery of joy and peace. but there is a life inside this record equally important to all of the above, which is also trying to be communicated. it’s almost like how listening to a song in a foreign language doesn’t hinder you from absorbing what the song is communicating. in listening closely as i expose myself to myself, that is where the art is. maybe every time we have the courage to unabashedly be true in ourselves, the courage to do the same is received by someone else.
i ask that you pray for me, so that i can continue to live on the surface, not only in private while making art, but also in public while living life visibly. also that as i continue on this journey with myself, that i can communicate who this old yet new person i have found is. a little better each time, with more clarity each time. - vicktor taiwò

the new album from miguel as double vinyl release with download code included.

the first word of the album says it all: bang! on their new album midnight in a moonless dream the buttertones dig deep and discover something dark. where their previous album gravedigging played like the soundtrack of a good spaghetti-western heist movie, midnight moves to the dark cityscapes of 70s new york and tells the story itself - a perfect and intricate crime executed by a crew of professionals under cover of night, a biting sound befitting of cbgb s while staying true to their la roots. there are echoes of suicide and bauhaus, nods to the spirit of sax and violence that powered the deadbeats. midnight is music made for dancers but also for doomed romancers that will appeal to fans of the cramps, the gun club, car seat headrest, black lips, king tuff, thee oh sees, ty segall, and parquet courts. supported by noisey, i-d and more full european tour around album release, dates are listed below for fans of the cramps, the gun club, car seat headrest, black lips, king tuff, thee oh sees, ty segall, parquet courts released on innovative leisure, the indie la label behind artists such as allah-las, nick waterhouse, badbadbnotgood, hanni el khatib, bass drum of death and more

to make it to album number three, a group has to make a compelling debut and then avoid the sophomore slump. if you reach that third record, you are supposed to be a professional, a stone-faced musical grown-up. but don’t tell that to de lux. after their 2014 debut voyager and 2015 follow-up generation, the la duo is gearing for its best and brightest lp, more disco songs about love. the difference between this album and all the rest? let s ask the band: we like to say voyage was our baby, generation was our baby all grown up and more disco songs about love thinks growing up sucks and just wants to party smart.

death & leisure is excited to welcome back jerome tcherneyan and barkosina hanusova as the incredible years of denial for a special split 12- with maenad veyl , the brand new project from italian producer thomas feriero. years of denial deliver a heavy synth wave techno classic with -we operate on each other- , and the pounding hypnotic - numeric affairs- maenad veyl starts things off on his side with the broken percussion of -paint the ossuary- , after that we get the slow dragging darkness of -tell me secrets- and lastly -who you could not- with its drilling synths and noise.

polos contribution to kann in 2017 is another mandatory ep that aligns his productions to his noteworthy dj skills once again. he offers 4 deep detroit influenced techno banger that still feels homely inside label’s vibe. its always a journey.

bird brains ist eine 4-track ep von holy fuck, live aufgenommen in verschiedenen studios in den letzten jahren. sie repräsentieren den andauernden prozess, den die 4-köpfige band mit mitgliedern in den usa und kanada durchläuft. die selbstproduzierte ep entstand mit hilfer verschiedener engineers wie shawn everett (john legend, warpaint, alabama shakes) und david wrench (caribou, fka twigs, the xx). das cover stammt vom befreundeten künstler seth smith. für fans von battles, neu!, thundercat, four tet, flying lotus, suicide, kraftwerk, can!

the ep opens with i need , a pulsating ear worm of a track that wastes no time in luring you into its embrace. perhaps leaving the best till last and bringing it back to the four-to-the-floor touch, theo s party is on the money, boasting that favoured 90 s house flare with a sprinkling of modern flavour designed to have fists punching the air at any time of day or night.

ein schauer aus fuzz und punkrock, aus verträumtem grunge und seele entblössenden texten, das ist das zweite album der kalifornischen punkrocker monster treasure. stell dir vor, blondie spielen unbekannte nirvana-cover im cbgb’s der frühen 1980er, als es grunge noch nicht gab, und du kommst annähernd dorthin, wo monster treasure stehen. transparentes, mit regenbogenfarbenen spritzern coloriertes vinyl plus downloadcode.

parallels is the fourth full album released under jason chung’s distinctive moniker, nosaj thing. masterfully dimensional, parallels represents the acclaimed los angeles-based electronic producer/composer/performer’s most diverse, vital work yet. as such, chung sees parallels represents a kind of redemptive rebirth. the album’s compellingly elusive, uncategorizable sonics developed out of what he terms a personal & musical “identity crisis.” according to chung, working with a group of collaborators on parallels that combined both longtime friends and new creative partners added “new energy which pushed me not to limit myself. everything felt fresh and alive.” chung is known specifically for his innovative, unexpected musical pairings: kid cudi hit up on nosaj thing via his myspace page in 2006, resulting in chung producing cudi’s autobiographical classic “the man on the moon.” kendrick lamar flowed over nosaj’s ethereal boom bap to create the youtube gem “cloud 10”, chance the rapper, meanwhile, freaked a nosaj beat for his 2013 breakout masterpiece “paranoia” and appeared on nosaj thing’s previous lp, 2015’s fated. chung and blonde redhead vocalist kazu makino are also longtime creative partners on each other’s work, her voice appears on parallels as an otherworldly spirit animating the icily ‘80s-synthetic “how we do.”

this is a journey into sound. a series of journeys across the globe, in-fact. this time with don leisure from darkhouse family. let us tell you a story. firstly, we first need to answer a question. who is shaboo? it began in africa. nasser barwani was the son of shabudin. at the age of 15, nasser (don s uncle) left kenya and hitch-hiked his way to london. nasser entered the movie business, occasionally finding himself in front of the camera, acting in bollywood films. it was then that nasser changed his surname to adopt a screen name - shaboo.

latest in the run of downright deviant activities from the contort yourself camp is this new collection of old and new industrial tinged bangers, leading in with the excellent noirish heat of eindkrak s slow-stepping -shawarma-. andromeda complex s mid-90s rhythm-fest sits in stark, functional contrast before gdl s own contemporary rhythm science sends the record spinning in a reverie of surprisingly light-footed percussion. circling vultures are too enjoying the mean tempered intensity of focused drum machine programming before klankman rounds the record off with a slightly squelchy remix of andromeda complex s -the servant-.

anglo-cherokee-japanese skateboarder turned musician korey dane returns with his second album chamber girls. influenced by the likes of t.s. eliot, tom waits, karen dalton, the beatles and the stones, and more, chamber girls was recorded almost completely live at l.a.’s analog time capsule valentine recording studios, searing instinct and experience direct to tape. dane produced everything himself, too, except for a quick assist from legendary producer tony berg (x, public image ltd.) on one song, and he was inspired by the deceptively simple ethos he’d internalized while making youngblood: pursue greatness. “writing a song that you know someone might skip over later is sacrilege,” he says. instead, he wanted every song on chamber girls to feel not only live but alive, too, with that go-forbroke spirit that animates everything he says, does, or sings: “i’m writing all the time,” he says. “i’ve lived by a line a day sometimes. i try and stop when it’s good. if you try and simplify it down to its bare elements ... it’s truly a redemptive act.”

repress - badbadbadnotgood is the talented young quartet of matthew tavares on keys, chester hansen on bass, alex sowinski on drums & leland whitty on saxophone. they formed and became inseparable friends at humber college’s music performance program in 2011 and have been on a critically acclaimed, rule bending musical journey ever since. bbng took the music world by storm with their 2014 lp, iii, a brash yet refined record of angular jazz improvisations, lush ballads, kraut rock, & futuristic hip-hop tinged rhythms which led to a couple years of touring the world & collaborating with some of the best and brightest artists around the globe.

faraway reach casts classixx’s young-but-nostalgic melodies and sublime chords in a more mature, restrained light, albeit no less lively and bright. establishing themselves as producers of note on their debut lp (pitchfork called them “great songwriters, too”), faraway reach delivers powerfully smooth and soulful jewels that are still decidedly their own - the classixx signature is one that can’t be traced. their love of plaintive voices and disco-inspired grooves is as evident as ever, but this time around everything is a bit bolder, the cast is bigger, the melodies distilled into a higher potency - it’s all just as good, but better. “on the first record, we wanted to include only people that were our friends, and have it be really personal…” david begins, a thought blake finishes: “this time we wanted to make a record with a lot of different kinds of vocals, to see if we could be the common thread.” the album traverses locales, vocalists and inspirations. it s a fitting movement for the duo, from venice beach to the mountains of south africa and everywhere in between - a faraway reach.
the double vinyl release includes a download code.

on the heels of 2015s hyperactive longanimity ep on leisure system and the recent sense of purpose lp via bloc records, joefarr returns to leisure system with the spectate ep, another tactile and punishing contribution to the ongoing gridlock series complete with an incredible remix from sound scientist max cooper.
