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.

Toronto based DJ Kaewonder, who is the co-founder of cratery and Live Convention connected with Philly based producer and record nerd Master Sihn.

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.

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
