new album from thumpasaurus finally available on vinyl.

reissue!
sobo’s inaugural release comes from rue beaubien resident project pablo aka patrick holland. montreal’s beaubien ouest can cause quite the daze in the heat of summer, so stepping out of the bedroom into the shed made all the difference for holland. live-off-the- floor takes with pals rory seydel (on guitar) and jeremy dabrowski (on the bass) can be heard on the title track, whereas freaked-out dx7 melodies and harmonies makeup “royal plus” and “closer”. an homage to one’s home & its dreamlike qualities, as well as a practice in call & response.

soundtrack

first ever vinyl reissue of the iconic sun ra album from 1983.

a wild solo project from rita lee – done after the breakup of os mutantes, and offered up almost as some sort of commentary on mainstream rock in the 70s! there’s a much more straightforward approach to the music here – a sometimes-glammy sound that’s echoed by the band’s space-style costumes and makeup – but there’s also some weirdly old-style rock instrumentation too, almost like the way that an artist like gary glitter could fold the 50s and 70s together in his music, and come across making something very weird and new. here, the keyboards are almost stronger than the guitars – and rita herself plays moog, melotron, organ, and piano – on titles that include -tem uma cidade-, -menino bonito-, -mame natureza-, and -eclipse do cometa-.

savage times fing als experiment an und dokumentiert die unmittelbare, künstlerische entwicklung hanni el khatibs. ursprünglich wurde der großteil der songs auf savage times bereits zuvor auf fünf eps nach und nach veröffentlicht. diese compilation vereint alle eps und enthält zudem vier weitere, neue bonustracks. el khatib startete das projekt im dezember 2015. die aufnahmen zu den songs wurden in jonny bells (crystal antlers) jazz cats studios aufgenommen. dafür fuhr hanni el khatib täglich von l.a. nach long beach. auf der stundenlangen autofahrt kamen ihm oft die ideen für seine tracks. hanni el khatib wollte sich nicht mehr auf ein genre festlegen und ließ sich einfach von seinem musikalischen instinkt leiten. sobald ein song fertig produziert war, veröffentlichte er ihn. savage times zeigt, wie wandelbar sein sound ist: garage rock, punk, disco, grime und hip hop fügen sich hier konsistent ineinander, über die eigenen grenzen hinweg

public releases hits the lab for some aural alchemy and to turn out its first release of 2017. a four-tracker from moscow’s phil gerus, scenes—or, in the producer’s native russian, &#1089,&#1094,&#1077,&#1085,&#1099,—manages to have a makeup that’s both peculiar and magnetic. the title’s a fitting one, every track feels like a vignette in a collection of short stories. separately, they’re self-contained, but a rich narrative arch is added when they’re sewn together. if there is a theme here, it’s of viewing the future through the dusty lens of the past, and each of the songs explores this in its own fashion. the kick-off, “ohashi sky garden,” starts as a hyped-up italo space epic, pumped full of swirling synth licks and sharp, tight drums, but it mutates into something completely its own when vocal samples (90s r&b?) and warm keys (prog rock rhodes?) enter. after the original’s brisk five minutes, the legendary richard sen—graffiti guy, breaks guy, house guy, disco guy, half-of-padded-cell guy—steps in to give it a trance-y tinge while doubling its runtime and adding a dancefloor-destroying hi-nrg coloration. the b begins with “naha swim,” a crunchy funk foot-stomper that might as well be an unreleased idjut boys or ray mang ditty dug up from the noid catacombs. fiery and furious, yet utterly cheeky. serving as a sort of coda to “naha” is “kiss of a kind,” a gerus take on 80s adult contemporary, replete with sleazy sax and sensual pads. a gentle nightcap to a zigzagging, antic 12-inch

the new studio album from a-ha with 10 brand new songs. the vinyl lp includes a download code for the complete digital deluxe version.

bay area wonder kid nick monaco makes his shining debut on soul clap records with this very limited 7inch release. the a side butterfly is a slo-mo, 808 laden, melodic piece of postmodern psychedelic e-funk. on the flip side my babys back (cant wait) delivers a response to 80s icon cameos single life. an innocent yet poignant and hopeful breakup- to-makeup love song, its clear that monaco isnt too shy to reveal his romantic side.

garth trinidad and mateo senolia, names synonymous with quality and innovation unite to bring to the globe trinidad-senolia. this dj /production team have journeyed through a multitude of musical eras to create the highly anticipated ep postcards from strangers. this four-song project walks the listeners through the body and mind of diasporic groove

teeds sound swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dance floor intuition, tearing up gigs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs. beautiful blip and blop intro, touching vocals, and scathing drum beat break is the makeup of totally enormous extinct dinosaurs track, household goods. this is seriously good remix ep featuring mixes from justin martin, lone & 2 bears. dj support from erol alkan, annie mac & tayo.

conforming to abnormality unveiled a style of extreme metal that was completely unique in its makeup: blending mind melting guitar technicality with inhuman drumming, a wildly schizophrenic vocal attack, smatterings of jazz sensibilities and devastating sub bass blasts.

d-nox & beckers - seal for deluxe beats! the makeup is simple and deadly working: a strong and impressive track, right on timeand completely unique. the groove is tide and fat with a sexy transposed bass line. smooth vocal filtering - vocals…vocals??we bet you might know this voice. yes? yes! ralphie dees chantal - the realm.including a tolis q & ad.mark (presslab/acdc/dezign/quantized music) remix. a great track with minimal and electro influences

a piece of chicago music history moody old school synths adorn what sounds like the perfect blueprint of chicago drummachine jack work on both sides the marcus mixx originals are reworked into two brilliant and never before heard tracks courtesy of chicagos own legendary ron hardy recorded at the infamous head studios circa 1988 these tracks are magnificent examples of his legacy
