Calibro 35 - Exploration (Deluxe Edition)

EXPLORATION (DELUXE EDITION) feat 3 BONUS TRACKS (DIGITAL ONLY). The three bonus tracks are available on the digital format only.

Italian cinematic funk heroes Calibro 35 return with the Deluxe Edition of their acclaimed studio album Exploration. The expanded edition features three brand-new bonus tracks, available only in digital format.

The previously unreleased tracks include a soulful rendition of the jazz standard “Harlem Nocturne”, a vibrant afrobeat take on Grover Washington Jr.’s timeless jazz-funk classic “Mister Magic”, and a powerful reinterpretation of Can’s krautrock anthem “Vitamin C”—recently brought back into the spotlight through Kanye West’s sampling.

Praised by Rolling Stone as “the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years,” Calibro 35 have earned an international reputation as one of the most exciting independent bands on the scene. Their music has been sampled by Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and The Child of Lov (featuring Damon Albarn), and they’ve collaborated with icons such as PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, and Stewart Copeland. With Exploration (Deluxe Edition), the Milan-based combo continues to expand the boundaries of their cinematic funk universe.

DJ Tennis - fabric presents DJ Tennis

fabric Records has enlisted visionary renegade DJ Tennis for the next installment of its prestigious mix compilation series, fabric presents. Set for full release on February 13, fabric presents DJ Tennis will showcase his diligent curation talents, along with featuring two new original tracks. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the first single, ‘I Wanna Know,’ a collaboration with London producer Ashee, out now via fabric Records.

“fabric has always been a place where I shaped my taste—getting lost in the middle of the dancefloor, learning to really listen. This mix reflects how I approach music today: psychedelia, sound design, and groove shaped by early rave culture and an experimental, DIY background, beyond genres or formulas. Every track is something I would genuinely play in Room 1, and the cover of the mix says the same thing: a brain on a plate, memory, influence, and process, exposed.” – DJ Tennis

2. Djrum ‘Out of Dust’
3. Rudy With a Hoodie ‘LOVELOVELOVE’

Shackleton - Euphoria Bound

Somewhere between revelation and delusion, Euphoria Bound maps a familiar trajectory: the irresistible pull towards dissolution, the gradual erasure of memory, the self rendered irretrievable. It moves between states of consciousness where such distinctions of enlightenment or self-deception are erased. 

Across ten tracks, the album constructs a spectrum of sound that is both ambitious and uncompromising.
The approach here is more direct than recent releases, with textures that accumulate and disintegrate with renewed urgency.

Tracklist:
1. Elemental Dream
2. Philistine Wavelength
3. Contagious Illusion
4. Crushing Realities
5. The Unbeliever's Pulse
6. When Memory Ceases
7. The Past Awakening
8. The Soul Of Everything
9. The Dream In Fragments
10. Buried And Irretrievable
