Friend of the brand, Tee Cardaci, is a heavy record guy located in Brazil. Tee is the right kind of record guy, someone looking for the music and not just a pay day. That love of the music plays out in interesting ways, and his latest project, Vento Leve (light wind) certainly illustrates that.

When Victrola introduced the Revolution Go turntable to me and asked if we would be interested in trying one out, I was game, but these days I spend more time at my desk than hunting for records in dusty basements. 

Toronto based DJ Kaewonder, who is the co-founder of cratery and Live Convention connected with Philly based producer and record nerd Master Sihn. The two share a love of psychedelic library sounds and pulled off an interesting collaborative tape that is full of fuzz drenched basslines and bugged out chops of samples strung together as a densely packed double sided DJ break mix.

It’s been a busy year for Jimpster, with his Soul Spectral and This Thing (with Rich Medina) EP’s both being amongst the best received and highest selling releases of his to date. He has also added his touch to The Sunburst Band, Soichi Terada, Feiertag, Baiana System, The Secret and Retromigration in the form of some massive remixes to boot, as well as having just released an Anthology spanning 4 vinyl. 

It's tempting to say that Soul Supreme got a Midas touch. But that doesn't do justice to his hard work and carefully crafted reinterpretations of music by A Tribe Called Quest, Madvillain, Mos Def & others.

French record label Hip Dozer is back with Volume 5 of their compiled works. Fans of dusty hip hop beats be sure to grab a copy of the vinyl pressing while stock is available. 

It’s a full day livestream on Sunday April 25th featuring artists broadcasting from around the world, plus some thought provoking panel discussions. 

JOAO SELVA returns with a second album, a true hymn to creoleness and tropicalism, embued with flavors of funk, jazz and disco.

'An Insight To All Minds' is Kaidi's 3rd solo album under his own name, following several EPs and two albums for First Word; 2018's acclaimed 'It's A World Before You' and the re-press of his seminal 2008 sophomore album 'In Search Of Hope' last year.

The year is off to a great start musically speaking. Madlib's Sound Ancestor release has been on repeat since it dropped. We are looking forward to stocking the release when it's not sold out but recommend you grab a copy wherever you can. File under "modern classic". 

The story begins with the original track ‘Back To The Streets’ by Rudy Norman, first out on a 7” as the B side to lead track – ‘Harmony’ in 1980 on New Day Records. It has long been a killer cult cut known in collector circles, with the opening solo Rhodes becoming a sample for underground producers far and wide

American jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and Sam Shepherd ( aka Floating Points) collaborate with The London Symphony Orchestra to create an experimental jazz fusion on David Byrne's innovative Luaka Bop label.
