ltd repress , transparent blue vinyl - maximal 1 per customer - the amsterdam-based duo wanderwelle returns to silent season with their second album, which is inspired by the last years of the life of paul gauguin that he spent on the island of tahiti. gathering of the ancient spirits tells the alternative history of his search for a land which is untouched by modern society and whose inhabitants were still dependent on the gifts of nature and connected to their ancestors. during his stay, the painter encounters forgotten rituals and the primordial beings which haunted the island since the dawn of men.

leonard chin, born in jamaica, started producing music with legends like augustus pablo or horace andy before he moved to london in 1975 and started his santic label. what more can i say reflect this typical 80 s uk soul production, a perfect glimpse of early brit-funk works combining soul, jazzy rhythms, lovers rock, midtempo beats. the song is mainly instrumental and includes sweet background vocals. this timeless hard to find tune finally has it s first time official reissue. here comes official reissue on pépite

betrachtet man die bewegte biografie des can-bassisten holger czukay, könnte man zu dem schluss kommen, der experimentierfreudige musiker sei ein exzentrischer und unbändiger freigeist. doch czukay betonte in interviews immer wieder, dass er in seinem schaffen stets auf einen musikalischen partner angewiesen sei, egal ob in form eines konkreten gegenübers oder durch radiowellen und später das internet. doch die meisten seiner partner waren aus fleisch und blut. sein dem kino verwandtes gesamtwerk schmückt sich mit einer besetzung, die der eines scorcese-films gleichkommt: brian eno, phew, rolf dammers, david sylvian, annie lennox, jah wobble, die kollegen von can die aufzählung ließe sich noch weit fortsetzen. viele dieser meisterwerke sind heute vergriffen, und so hat es sich das label grönland, das anfang des jahres zu holgers 80. geburtstag bereits die vielbeachtete retrospektive cinema veröffentlichte, zur aufgabe gemacht, holgers musik in remasterten neuauflagen wieder zugänglich zu machen.

official remastered, reissue of two of esther phillips’ breathtaking covers from the early ‘70s. firstly, esther’s cover of gil scott-heron’s timeless masterpiece ‘home is where the hatred is’. a haunting tale of addiction filled with the rawest of emotions, that can only truly be covered by someone who has fought that same battle with dependency. the pain in esther’s voice completely conveys this vulnerability and does gill scott heron’s original total justice. heart-wrenching and completely absorbing in its honesty, it’s a sincere portrayal of the demons both artist’s faced in their lives. on the b side, an adaptation of eddie floyd’s ‘i ve never found a girl (to love me like you do)’. phillips’ trademark soulful tones suit this sweet serenade so well, with the passion oozing from every word she sings. sit back, relax and prepare to have your heart melted all over again.

sound society publishes its first reference with great enthusiasm. on side a we have the deeper house sound from etur usheo with very sticky chords which will be staying in your head once you hear them. on side b our young artist shows off his most underground side of house, with kick beats that will make you tremble and using classic house shades.

perhaps cpu’s deepest foray into techno, osaka-based artist yuri urano’s ‘autline’ e.p. draws parallels with the machine-like incremental builds of sweet exorcist / richard h kirk. plenty of variation with minimal down-tempo through to fierce industrial techno. urano’s industrial sound is gaining a lot of attention in the japanese techno scene and this e.p. will only galvanise her reputation.

limited ddition of 750 individually numbered copies on orange 180 gram vinyl.
hot shots of reggae is an recording on which a bunch of popular reggae songs are brought together. the album was originally released in the autumn of 1970 and compiled by the legendary chinese-jamaican producer leslie kong. he had enjoyed many hits in in europe and selected some of the true pearls from the reggae music to shine on the album. the album includes the maytals hit monkey man, the sparkling so much love by joe white and the fine rythms of ken boothe’s freedom street. the influential producer leslie kong once discovered jimmy cliff and recorded him on his own record label beverley’s. in 1962 he recorded bob marley’s first single and through the 60’s het became known as the producer of many big artists, like desmond dekker and joe higgs. he died of a heart attack, at the age of 38, in august 1971.

33 years after it s first release rick clarke s street soul simmerdown on local records, love with a stranger gets a much welcomed official reissue, remastered from the original tapes. check the dub! just peep that og artwork to get a taste of how this one s about to go down. written and produced by john collins, known for producing the specials - ghost town , love with a stranger perfectly encapsulates that 80s street soul sound. distinctly soulful, synthy slow jams, heavy on the bass with a touch of the low-slung, lovers rock vibrations about them. rick clarke s sultry sweet nothings weave their way irresistibly through this five minute gem, but for those that want to provide their own rendition over the top, the dub has been affectionately cut to the flip.

focusing on low-slung idm, acid and atmospheric electro with nods to krautrock & ambient sounds, steve hy-lands attraktta project gets an extended outing on the film label. across eight beautifully produced tracks, hyland - one of the founding members of ai records and subsequently concrete plastic, explores vibrant synthesis and intricate drum programming, with the music arriving at a sweet spot between home listening material & club-ready workouts for more intelligent dance floors. eschewing straightforward synth sequences in favour of blissed out - almost disharmonious sonics, hyland trans-mits a curious psychedelia on his debut lp. sounds pitch and warp organically, buoyed up by saturated low end and punchy drum machine percussion. there remains a decidedly accomplished precision to the work, though - with the music bearing all the hallmarks of an artist of some considerable experience - testament to the british pro-ducer & label heads 19 years working in the industry. a colourful, exquisitely composed lp that riffs on a timeless production aesthetic with considerable style, echo principle is a fantastic entry into the film records discography.

keine andere musikrichtung ist so mit dem sommer verknüpft wie reggae. sobald die wärmsten tage des jahres beginnen hört man aus den cabrios und auf vielen partys die rhythmen aus jamaika. natürlich darf der größte aller reggae künstler nicht fehlen: bob marley. außerdem gibt es hits von beenie man, gregory isaacs, sly & robbie, john holt auf vinyl.

am 21. september erscheint das neue, vierte villagers album the art of pretending to swim. nach der zurückgenommenen, intimen atmosphäre des vorgängers darling arythmetic (2015), auf dem sich die zeitlosen singles courage und everything i am is yours befanden, verfolgt das neue album ein vielschichtigeres, facettenreicheres konzept, wie man es schon von conor o’briens debütalbum becoming a jackal (2010) und dessen nachfolger {awayland} (2013) kennt. eine gute prise soul, ein intelligenter rhythmus und ein umwerfendes spektrum akustischer details, analog wie digital, erzeugen eine hoch emotionale stimmung mit überaus eingängigen melodien. fein austariert, mit raffinierten perspektiven und songtexten, die die existentiellen Ängste und hoffnungen in einem eher hoffnungslosen, dystopischen, von technik bestimmten zeitalter umarmen, ist the art of pretending to swim das bislang wohl am opulentesten ausgestattete und beschwingteste album von villagers. das album wurde von conor o’ brien in seinem studio in dublin geschrieben, produziert, gemischt und zu großen teilen auch eingespielt.
die schwarze heavyweight lp erscheint inklusive vierseitigem booklet und mp3-downloadkarte im klappcover.

kool customer ist ein neues collabo-projekt von l.a. s beatsmith b.bravo und the bay s croon daddy rojai, das auf bastard jazz erscheint. die stimmung des albums orientiert sich an west coast boogie funk a la dam-funk, abgefüllt in styroporbecher mit 80er jahren synth steez, dann begleitet zum stripclub (um 3 uhr morgens), der von kopf bis fuß in einem weißen smoking mit goldketten bekleidet ist. das debüt von kool customer vereint zwei talentierte musiker, die das tun, was sie am besten können: sich entspannen und gleichzeitig bewegen, in perfektem einklang. achten sie auch auf das super-spezifische deluxe-paket, das sich gerade dann als nützlich erweisen könnte, wenn sie es am meisten brauchen. ooh la la la.
