Chase & Status - Generic Everything

Chase & Status announce their forthcoming album Generic Everything, out 9th October 2026, alongside new single “Gone Too Far” featuring Debbie. The 10-track project brings together an expansive cast of collaborators including J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco, IRAH, Col3trane and more, continuing the duo’s long-standing ability to connect scenes, generations and sounds across British music.

Generic Everything follows a landmark period for Chase & Status, which has seen “Baddadan” spend over 15 weeks in the UK Top 10 and achieve Platinum status, while “BACKBONE” featuring Stormzy became their first ever UK Number One single. Alongside a BRIT Award for British Producer of the Year, a record-breaking sold-out UK arena tour and their Milton Keynes National Bowl takeover, the duo continue to operate at a career-defining level more than two decades in.

Built around the idea of resisting creative conformity in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, endless content and more, Generic Everything sees Chase & Status once again refusing to be confined by genre. Moving between rave, rap, soundsystem culture and electronic music, the album pairs their unmistakable production with some of the most distinctive voices in UK music and beyond, capturing a duo still driven by the instinct to keep evolving, collaborating and pushing their sound forward.

Calibro 35 - ELLROY vs L.A. (OST)

Calibro 35 announce new album Ellroy vs L.A., a tribute to American noir due October 9 and taken from the soundtrack of the documentary of the same name by Francesco Zippel.

There are collaborations that feel inevitable, as if they had been waiting to happen in some shadowed corner of culture. The union between Italian cinematic funk visionaries Calibro 35 and internationally acclaimed master of noir fiction and New York Times bestselling author James Ellroy (The Black Dahlia, L.A. Confidential, American Tabloid) is undoubtedly one of them.

The opportunity arose through filmmaker Francesco Zippel and his documentary Ellroy vs L.A. produced by Quoiat Films, which received the Nastro d’Argento, Italy’s Critics’ Choice Award. The film is an immersive portrait of both the writer and the city of Los Angeles: Ellroy reflects on his relationship with L.A. as his words intertwine with archival footage of the city and scenes of Calibro 35 recording the soundtrack in the studio.

When Calibro 35 were invited to compose the original score for Zippel’s documentary Ellroy vs L.A., they didn’t simply write music for a film. They stepped directly into Ellroy’s universe the most dangerous corners of American crime fiction and discovered, to no one’s surprise, that its darkness felt strangely familiar.

The result is Ellroy vs L.A., the band’s new album, out October 9 via Record Kicks and now available for pre-order: twelve brand-new tracks of cinematic crime funk, psychedelia, and hypnotic grooves that don’t merely accompany Ellroy’s world, but inhabit it.  

Tracklist:
1. Black Dahlia
2. LSD on Sunset Blvd
3. Pacific Safari
4. The Big Nowhere part 1
5. L.A. Confidential
6. Riots
7. Chalet Manson
8. The Big Nowhere part 2

Gayance - roaming

Gayance is leaving the map behind with her sophomore album 'roaming'; a passport to the soul, tracing a path of self-affirmation through a global club lens.

The Montreal-born, Lisbon-based DJ-producer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist returns with 'roaming', proudly released on Tru Thoughts the project marks an affirmation in her sound and artistic identity.

“‘roaming’, my sophomore album, is a project I didn't know I was working on for the past decade by just living and travelling around, these songs are stories from this era of my life. It's the complexity of completing by experimenting on a timeline of 9 years of friendship, roaming around and moving from city to city. Leaving a few people behind with songs about them that will stay with raw feelings and no bullshit edits. Anthems about moving forward and reminders about how grateful I am about the journey, despite the highs and lows.” Gayance

Described as a “sonic travelogue born of a decade in transit,” 'roaming' draws on Gayance’s experiences across Brazil, Brussels, Amsterdam and beyond, exploring “the ‘political movement’ of the diaspora” through a fluid, globally informed sound. Rooted in her Haitian heritage and shaped by years navigating international club culture, the album captures an artist redefining her relationship with both place and self.

Following the breakthrough success of her debut Mascarade (Rhythm Section International), Gayance faced a period of intense personal and professional pressure. A relocation to Lisbon, paired with a deeper focus on herbalism and spirituality, created space for reflection and healing, ultimately informing the emotional and conceptual core of 'roaming'.

Across the record, themes of release, transformation and self-preservation come to the fore. ‘Better For My Heart’ featuring Judith Little D, stands as “an anthem of emotional purging and radical self-worth,” evolving over several years into a high-energy fusion of house, R&B and gospel influences. Focus track ‘Ensemble’ marks a significant first, written in French and offering a “cathartic examination of ‘chosen family’ and the necessity of setting boundaries.”

On ‘Kind Silence’, Gayance leans into stillness, crafting “a meditative anthem on the power of withdrawal” that reframes silence as an act of protection, especially in the context of a toxic relationship where control is used. ‘GOSSIP’ presents one of the album’s most unfiltered moments, “a candid interrogation of toxic cycles” and ultimately “an act of reclamation,” closing a deeply personal chapter.

Elsewhere, ‘Podjab’ featuring Waahli, reconnects Gayance with her roots, channelling the energy and resistance of the Haitian carnaval genre, Mizik Rasin and serving as “a tribute to the power of the diaspora to reclaim their liberation...” In contrast, ‘hellooooo????’, co-produced by funkywhat and featuring fellow Montréal mainstay Magi Merlin, provides a playful counterbalance, “the album’s tongue-in-cheek anchor”, transforming themes of connection into a confident, high-energy celebration of presence and success.

Closing track ‘Agua’ featuring NARCY & De.Ville, expands the album’s scope into the spiritual and political. Built around the mantra “Stay focused?,” the track reflects the idea that “true resistance requires a foundation of stillness, grounding and being present in our own bodies” positioning inner clarity as essential in the face of global unrest. Gayance believes in the high power of somatic healing, and this song is a call for this.

Together, these tracks form a body of work that is both deeply personal and widely resonant, bridging memory, movement and reclamation through sound. 'roaming' is an album shaped by transition, grounded in resilience, driven by a clear sense of purpose and raw honesty.

Gayance’s rise to this point has been met with widespread critical acclaim across international press and radio. Coverage has spanned Toronto Star, DJ Mag, Crack Magazine, Mixmag, Exclaim!, La Presse, Cult MTL and Montreal Gazette, alongside national broadcast support from Radio-Canada / CBC and RIBF / Tarmac. In the UK, she has been championed by BBC Radio 6 Music, including an in-depth interview with Gilles Peterson and Jamz Supernova.

Her 2023 debut album 'Mascarade' marked a breakthrough moment, earning a shortlist nomination for the Polaris Music Prize and widespread editorial recognition.  

Tracklist:
1. Better For My Heart (feat. Judith Little D)
2. Ensemble (feat. Seb Hall & Gaspar Muniz)
3. Kind Silence (feat. funkywhat)

Karate Boogaloo - Access All Areas

DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL STREET DATE 10/9/2026

May it please the people of the known universe that the multi-monikered musical ensemble legally trading as Kay-Bee Funk Music Group are releasing what will alphabetically be their first album, ‘Access All Areas’. Created with Karate Boogaloo’s patented ‘Lovely Recording Technique’ these recordings let you know that everyone’s a VIP when you’re listening to KB.

‘Access’ was the one word maxim philosophically guiding The Old Kar-Boo’s this innings. If a tune became convoluted, to the bin it went. Only those that could be hummed by any and all were kept. This sieve was on hand throughout the whole process, arrangements and forms were kept watertight, bells and whistles to a minimum. If 2024’s ‘Hold Your Horses’ was an epic, ‘Access All Areas’ is a haiku.

The band’s tried and true recording process was dutifully respected save for one wonderful addition, the magnificent ‘Sound Recordings’ helmed by its proprietor and engineer extraordinaire Alex Bennet. Steering the 4 track Ampex 440 off road when required and making sure the vibes were constantly correct, Alex is a bonafide Booger.

 Although it feels only a moment, the clock tells us it’s been nearly 20 years since Kay’s Bees first tried to play the songs of their musical heroes, The Meters, Booker T & The MG’s, and The JB’s to name but a few. Since then The Famous Flying Karate Boogaloo Brothers have put one foot in front of the other and distilled their own sound, one that respectfully acknowledges the history of instrumental Funk & Soul music, and reflects the time they’ve spent crafting their distinctive sound.

As bright as each member shines individually, it is a special event when all four planets in the Booger System align. ‘Access All Areas’ is one such eclipse, it is an artistic expression of equal measure by each member and it casts a shadow unique to the occasion. Every second of music was composed and produced with all hands on deck, mixing was handled by Henry Jenkins, artwork by Hudson Whitlock and Callum Riley, and Darvid Thor did things you’d have to see to believe. Music is a team sport and there’s no I in Funk.

Coming out on the two greatest record labels in the galaxy ‘Colemine Records’ from Loveland, USA, and College of Knowledge from Coburg, Australia, please listen to Karate Boogaloo’s new album ‘Access All Areas’.

VA - Mr. Magic's Be-Bop Convention

In 2026, Now-Again Records released Mr. Magics Be-Bop Convention, a ten-track collection featuring vocal and instrumental versions of Anthony Pearson’s compositions. The project featured The Chillie 3 MCs, The L.O.D. Crew, Willie Brown, Woodie, and Pookey Blow. Pearson, a DJ and record-store owner from Connecticut, was one of the pioneers of the local hip-hop scene: his debut record came out in 1979. He later established himself as a producer in Bridgeport. Experts consider Mr. Magics Be-Bop Convention the pinnacle of his career and note that the original limited pressing consisted of around 1,000 copies. The album stands out for its use of live bands, extended takes, and unconventional musical touches—for example, kazoo solos and ventriloquist routines.

Stratøs - Challenger Deep

After 4 years of continuous creative output, Los Angeles based saxophonist, composer, producer, photographer, and cinematographer Stratøs unleashes his first studio masterpiece "Challenger Deep," a 10-movement work for electronic chamber orchestra.

As somewhat of a response to his space-themed debut LP "Planets," "Challenger Deep" investigates some of the deeper issues modern society faces, but through a particular lens.

Stratøs' late grandfather Edward Codrington was a fisherman from Barbados in the early 20th century. His unique status as a master of his craft with a rare motorized vessel gave him access to waters that other fishermen couldn’t venture into. In the vein of Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy,” Stratøs uses this motif to tell a story where Codrington descends from the surface of the sea all the way down to the Challenger Deep, the lowest part of Earth’s deepest ocean, the Mariana Trench. His journey is the catalyst for Stratøs to explore themes ranging from the effects of climate change, the ever-mysterious contents of Earth's oceans, to the fates of enslaved African people whose bodies never made it to the Americas and beyond. 

Tracklist:
1. Primordial (feat. Supah Mario)
2. Dead Calm

VA - SPIRITUAL JAZZ 19 - West Coast USA Part 1

The first of two x 2LP sets that examine the influence and expression of the underground jazz that evolved in California and surrounding states during the latter part of the 20th century.

This listing is for Part 1, a 2LP set which examines music created during the '50s & '60s.

There's a separate listing for Part 2, another 2LP set that deals with the '70s and '80s.

The West Coast of the USA has long been associated with the ‘cool jazz’ popular explosion of the 1950s, though wherever jazz was played, modal, Afro-centric and spiritualised streams flowed and flourished too - the West Coast was no exception. In the post-war years, Los Angeles’ Central Avenue was second only to Manhattan as America’s greatest jazz district. Yet while Manhattan might have been the de facto centre of the jazz universe during these years, it was California that came to exert the greater pull on culture at large, drawing people from across America toward its burgeoning 1960s counter-culture.

Here we explore the effects of that counter-culture on jazz. We examine the influence of the most significant force in post-civil rights Black politics – the Black Panthers, and we delve into the novel spiritual practices and religions of the coming ‘New Age’. A variety of idiosyncratic indies such as Arhoolie, Theresa and Nimbus were located in California as well as many more private enterprises, and we showcase the results of their efforts to express their musical freedom. All of these factors can be seen to have an influence on the way that jazz and jazz musicians developed and thrived on the West Coast - and the evolution of spiritual jazz here is examined in detail.

2LP set on 180g vinyl housed sleeve with a booklet containing liner notes, pics & download code.

Tracklist:
1. Chico Hamilton Quintet - Blue Sands
2. Victor Feldman - New Delhi

Jimetta Rose - MettaSun

Vocalist, producer and musical visionary Jimetta Rose announces the release of solo album MettaSun, via our sub label Day Dreamer.

Inspired by the interplanetary mythologies of Sun Ra, MettaSun reimagines a selection of the cosmic jazz pioneer’s most iconic recordings through Jimetta’s unique lens – a powerful expression of the female imaginary and a positive vision of radical hope and Black joy amid the chaos of contemporary America.

MettaSun is Jimetta Rose’s solo opus. Embracing the Sun Ra’s sonic world-building and paying homage to Arkestra vocalist June Tyson throughout, Jimetta has added her powerful, female voice to the Afro-futurist tradition, stitching together a jazz and gospel-tinted narrative of resistance and escape, convinced in the unifying power of music, love and faith to transcend darkness.

It is a project that evolved naturally from Jimetta’s love for Sun Ra into a sci-fi epic in its own right. Writing lyrics for ‘Somebody Else’s Idea’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘I’ll Wait For You’, ‘Springtime Again’ and a fierce, prescient reworking of ‘Nuclear War’, she developed a suite of interpretations from which a whole new myth emerged.

“The story of MettaSun is that life on planet Earth is full of despair, chaos, war, destruction, and death, and the people are tired,” she explains of the album’s narrative, which is knitted together in a series of short skits. “They don't believe in their leaders, they don't believe in much — but music can continue to unite them. They have musicians trying to use it to heal, and then one day the music opens a portal and lifts people up to another planet where love, peace, joy, and harmony prevail.”

Featuring vocal contributions from Jimetta’s choir The Voices of Creation and Arkestra / Phil Cohran vibraphone player Maia The Artiste, alongside a stellar lineup of talented musicians, MettaSun hears the LA-based bandleader bring her production skills to the fore, recording the bulk of the album in three days to carry the live energy of Sun Ra’s legendary sessions in her blistering vocal runs and raw improvisations.

Where tracks like ‘Nuclear War’ rail against the trigger-happy narcissism of the world’s reckless ruling class, channelling all the fury of Sun Ra’s iconic jazz-funk original, Jimetta takes a softer tone on ‘Sleeping Beauty’, a soulful invocation to awaken the Black divine – in her words “a dormant beauty that is asleep is of a culture that has forgotten how beautiful, strong and resilient it is.”

Described by Jimetta as “a song to Black men and women to wake up to our beauty,” it encapsulates her rousing belief in collective power, just as the featherlight ‘Springtime Again’ speaks of the blooming of her own individual agency and visionary creativity in the face of criticism and doubt. In that sense, MettaSun is not just a world built for dreaming, but for the endurance of everyday reality.

Because Jimetta has been on her own journey to get here. MettaSun follows the releases of Things Are Getting Better (2024) and How Good It Is (2022) and marks a new chapter for the sound that Jimetta has been developing alongside her choir and a string of high profile collaborations that has seen her work with the likes of Noname, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Shafiq Husayn and Saul Williams in recent years. That MettaSun so adeptly refreshes the legacy of one of jazz music’s great innovators is a testament to the confidence with which Jimetta is able to navigate seamlessly between styles and influences.

“I'm so grateful to Sun Ra for inspiring me in such a way to try to inspire others — to continue these ripples of inspiration,” she says. “I really hope that diehard Sun Ra fans and people who don't know who he is at all can appreciate it.”

Described by Jimeta as her most complete solo project to date, MettaSun is both a tribute to Sun Ra and Arkestra vocalist June Tyson and a launch pad for her own astral sound, all set to lift off into expansive new realms. To borrow from the album’s final refrain… “They'll never catch up to our imagination.” 

Tracklist:
1. Somebody Else’s Idea
2. Life on Earth Phase 1
3. Nuclear War
4. Gotta Get Out Phase 2
5. Sleeping Beauty
6. Portal to a New World Phase 3
7. Spring Time Again
8. I'll Wait For Yo

Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti - International Anthem @ Public Records (Volume 11)

International Anthem @ Public Records (Volume 11) continues the live-document series that International Anthem and Qobuz began in 2022 at Brooklyn’s Public Records. Every show in the series is recorded in the venue’s acoustically superior Sound Room, with excerpts released in hi-res on Qobuz. This instalment features Bolivian-born vocalist and multi-media artist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Puerto Rican drummer Frank Rosaly performing two pieces from their 2024 debut duo album MESTIZX: “Writing With Knots” and “Sirinus”.
qobuz

MESTIZX itself was conceived as a meditation on decolonization and the defiant power of ritual and protest, drawing on the duo’s Bolivian, Brazilian and Puerto Rican roots. The live band here, per Qobuz credits, adds bass, keyboards, autoharp, clarinet, trumpet and a second percussionist to the duo’s voice, drums and synthesizers. Neither label nor Qobuz states when or where the recordings were made; the most likely source is the duo’s New York debut at Public Records on April 1, 2025, but this is an inference, not a confirmed fact.

LSB and Vektah - Penny Drop / Gin Pan Alley

V Recordings welcomes LSB & Vektah, as the pair make their V debut with the double-header 'Penny Drop / Gin Pan Alley'.

For LSB, releasing on V has roots stretching right back to his earliest days in Drum & Bass. Long before establishing himself as one of the scene's most respected producers and DJs.

"This is pure early-days, day-dreaming, bucket-list stuff for me," says LSB. "My raving crew was a mixed bag of tastes, but the one DJ we all truly agreed on was Bryan. I remember us driving down from Norwich to Planet V and Liquid V at Egg in early 2004. Sometimes my rave memory surprises me!"

For Vektah, the release is equally personal. Having become close friends with LSB over the past few years, the pair's studio partnership grew naturally, making the news that Bryan was interested in the tracks all the more significant.

"After being such a big fan of both V and LSB for as long as I can remember, this is a monumental release in my career," says Vektah. "Seeing my name on that legendary V artwork is really something special."

"I've always watched what LSB's been doing from afar," says Bryan Gee. "We've had conversations over the years about remixes and different things, but it was never quite the right time. Then after a few drinks at SUNANDBASS we got talking properly about music, and a few months later these tunes came through.

"'Penny Drop' had a slightly harder, more rolling edge than I was expecting. Straight away it felt like a V tune and really tapped into that side of the label. Then 'Gin Pan Alley' has that classic rolling liquid feel, deep, musical and effortless. I'm very happy to finally have both LSB and Vektah releasing on V."

Across 'Penny Drop' and 'Gin Pan Alley', LSB & Vektah tap straight into V's rolling, soulful side, balancing deep basslines and fluid grooves with enough weight to keep both tracks firmly aimed at the dancefloor.

A bucket-list release for the pair and a collaboration years in the making, 'Penny Drop / Gin Pan Alley' brings LSB & Vektah into the V family for the very first time.

Tracklist:
1. Penny Drop
2. Gin Pan Alley

Boogsie - Phase2

Mr Bongo reissues, in full for the first time, a pioneering steelband album from 1979. Masterminded by the key and highly influential steelpan player, Len "Boogsie" Sharpe, Phase2 showcases Boogsie’s innovative fusion of jazz, funk and Caribbean rhythms in stunning style.

Dubbed ‘the Mozart of Pan’ by Wynton Marsalis, Boogsie began playing pan at the age of five and composed his own music by the age of nine years old. Across a long and illustrious career, he has won seven National Panorama Championships in Trinidad and Tobago with his compositions and band, a world Steelband Music Festival with his original compositions “In the Rainforest”, and two Notting Hill Panorama Championships with Mangrove Steel Orchestra. Over the years he has also played with Andre Tanker, Lord Shorty, Lord Kitchener, Leston Paul, Clive Zanda, and other amazing Caribbean greats. Len became an arranger for the National Steelband of Trinidad and Tobago and is a cultural ambassador for the country promoting the instrument.

Phase2 is built up predominantly of original compositions by Boogsie, alongside a track penned by fellow Trinidadian musician Raf Robertson and an outstanding Trinidadian-disco cover version of Roy Ayers' classic ‘Can't You See Me’. Phase II is the name of the band Boogsie started with six of his friends who sought to compose their own music.

Drenched in feel-good island-life energy, the eight tracks showcase Boogsie’s creative approach to the pan and its ability to elevate the flavour of a host of genres not usually associated with the instrument.

‘Can't You See Me’ is an underground disco banger that has become highly sought-after. It’s no surprise why, with pan injecting Caribbean heat to Ayers’ original. When rare groove DJs picked up on it and began playing it in their sets, it introduced Boogsie’s talents to a wider audience.

Far from a one-track wonder, there is plenty more to dig into on the album. The cosmic jazz-funk of ‘Boogie Kaiso’ is pure brilliance. Starting off with a soul-nourishing piano introduction, it drops into a super deep, addictive, pan-infused disco groove which has Cloud One-esque vibes to it. The composition sounds fresh and is the perfect secret weapon for the dancefloor.

Elsewhere, ‘Weight’ is another highlight. A sweet, catchy jazz-funk dancer with some sublime playing throughout. ‘Yoga Styling’ and ‘Punk Party’ kick off with brilliant breaks, before opening out into grooves rich in leftfield disco swagger, hypnotic musicianship and blistering pan solos by Boogsie. Then there’s ‘Celebration’, reminiscent of a mix between a Stevie Wonder song and a calypso classic, with amazing, relaxed, but on-point funk drumming by Richard Bailey. Providing a moment to pause for breath, ‘Passing Time’ is meditative and deep with just Boogsie on the pan, a moment of relaxed and regenerative calm on the record.

Whether you’re already familiar with the iconic sound of Len "Boogsie" Sharpe or are discovering his magic for the first time, we hope you get inspired by this masterpiece from one of the best in their craft. 

Tracklist:
1. Weight
2. Can't You See Me
3. Celebration
4. Boogie Kaiso
5. '79 Is Mine
6. Passing Time
7. Yoga Styling
8. Punk Party

Jeff Mills - Drifter

A collection of vinyl and limited digital releases, curated by Millsart, an alias of Jeff Mills, of his most eclectic and transcendent compositions that derive from his Every Dog Has Its Day project as well as new unreleased works. Vernacular creations that fall off from the "other side" of the Electronic Music tree, this project is designed for the experienced Techno music listeners, and its goal is to reflect upon the pure artistry of the craft of storytelling. A realization between music and life. Whereas "dancing" is the goal of Dance Music, the goal of this music is about "reflecting on the complexity and simplification of life".Soundtracks for people in their evolutionary process.

This release 'Drifter' is about 'Hype'.

Hype

An animal that prowls on the vulnerable - it excites those who might be looking the other way or with their eyes and minds wide shut.

What is life without hype?

As a transitional tool, hype can be most effective especially when impulse reactions are at play. Something of a psychological currency, there is a lot to gain by giving people what they want - the rush that comes with taking part in a process of making something bigger, more successful and more preferred. Even if there is nothing there.

What's wrong with getting exciting about something?

There are only a few rare masterclass cases that have lasted a lifetime.

As Andy Warhol proclaimed that "everyone will be World famous for 15 minutes" rings darkly true in an era when each one of us can be the talent scout, artist, critic, audience.......and then a revisionist, hoping to bring hype back again by reminding people how great the first round felt.

We are all free to use our attention and time anyway we please. This is the freedom we have, right?

In most cases, we wake up and at some point, the question of justification becomes a debate between those who found unconditional solace and those who re-discovered the subject of substance and "kicked the tires".

Should I care if others like or dislike something?

For some, the hype of something never ends. It hardens and becomes part of a foundation like a cement podium. Something to be stood on to speak over all dissenting voices.

1. Now That I Have Your Attention (Let Me Tell You)

The Ballistic Brothers - The Ballistic Brothers x Dub Flex EP

Acid Jazz continues to explore the Ballistic Brothers catalogue via an exciting remix project with renowned remixer Dominic Dawson.

Dawson has produced many underground club hits since the 1990s, including the UK Top 30 hit ’Shake It Baby’ under the name Hydraulic Dogs. He has released music on dozens of labels including Defected, Strictly Rhythm and R&S, as well as performing remix duties for The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, A Man Called Adam and many more. Here he tackles five of his favourite cuts from the Ballistics and we house them together on this essential 12” EP.

The Ballistic Brothers unique sound - perfectly straddling a number of club cultures - first broke through with their massive club hit ‘Blacker’, and over two albums, two EPs and numerous singles they explored and implemented a vision that saw funk, reggae, boogie, hip hop beats and house music effortlessly fuse together. The core members, Rocky & Diesel from X-Press 2, Ashely Beedle and label owner (and later Soul Revivers-founder) David Hill had the depth of knowledge to carry it off.

The EP's five tracks reflect that eclectic sound, tackling ‘Blacker’ of course, but also the out-and-out ska of ‘Peckings’ and the heavy roots reggae sound of ‘Jah Jah Call Me’. A New York house-style dub of ‘Come On’ leads the way and Dominic shakes our spiritual jazz roots with a take on the Alice Coltrane-approved ‘Love Supreme’.

Tracklist:
1. Come On (Dominic Dawson Dub Flex Mix)
2. Love Supreme (Dominic Dawson Dub Flex Mix)
1. Blacker (Dominic Dawson Dub Flex Mix)
2. Peckings (Dominic Dawson Dub Flex Mix)
3. Jah Jah Call Me (Dominic Dawson Dub Flex Mix) 

VA - Give Me Disco - Vol 2 (Selected by DJ Kobayashi)

Following the success of the inaugural all-Jiri Jiri edition, Batov Records returns with the second instalment of its Give Me Disco series, once again curated by label co-founder and globe-trotting selector DJ Kobayashi. Rather than revisiting familiar disco classics, Give Me Disco Vol. 02 digs deeper, bringing together four dancefloor discoveries from across Europe and Asia, including two previously unreleased tracks available here for the first time.

Spanning Portuguese jazz-funk, Norwegian cosmic oddities, Japanese-inspired psychedelic disco and cinematic groove, the EP reflects the breadth of Kobayashi's record bag - a carefully assembled selection of tracks that have soundtracked his DJ sets for years alongside exclusive material rescued from the vaults.

Opening the record is The Bam Jam Band's brilliantly understated "Theme", a soaring slice of jazz-infused disco from Portuguese musicians Sérgio Alves and Pedro Tenreiro. Originally released only as a now long-sold-out 7-inch on Mad About Records, the track has become one of Kobayashi's trusted secret weapons, championed by discerning selectors including Darryn Jones and Red Greg. Built around Alves' dazzling synthesiser work, "Theme" finally gets the wider audience it deserves.

The EP's first exclusive arrives courtesy of D. Apal, instrumentalist and member of Norway's Flammer Dance Band. His only solo release, issued on the band's Lysketrekk Records, has become a cult favourite among adventurous record collectors. Batov now unveils the previously unreleased "60 Meter'n (Rytme)", an extended instrumental dub that strips away the vocals to let the handclaps, cavernous bassline, dub effects and wonderfully eccentric synthesisers breathe, transforming an underground favourite into an irresistible dancefloor weapon.

Side B opens with YĪN YĪN's "Tokyo Disco", taken from the band's acclaimed third album Mount Matsu on Glitterbeat Records. Long-time admirers of the Dutch quartet, Kobayashi has championed them since first hearing the breakthrough pairing of "Dis̄ kô Dis̄ kô" and "Dion Ysiusk" on Bongo Joe. Since then, he has hosted the band twice on Soho Radio and supported them live in London. "Tokyo Disco" perfectly captures YĪN YĪN's distinctive blend of Japanese-inspired psychedelia, Southeast Asian influences, post-punk funk and shimmering disco grooves, making it a natural fit for the Give Me Disco series.

Closing the EP is another exclusive from Jiri Jiri, whose contribution helped launch the series on Vol. 01. Ahead of their forthcoming album later this year, the duo unveil the previously unreleased "Spaghetti Western", a wonderfully off-kilter fusion of Morricone-esque cinematic atmosphere, taut funk rhythms and the soulful modern groove of SAULT. Equal parts soundtrack and dancefloor curveball, it provides a fitting finale while offering another tantalising glimpse of what's still to come.

With two exclusive cuts sitting alongside two carefully chosen modern classics, Give Me Disco Vol. 02 is another lovingly curated snapshot of DJ Kobayashi's musical universe: borderless, groove-driven and unapologetically built for adventurous DJs, discerning collectors and open-minded dancefloors alike.

Tracklist:
1. The Bam Jam Band - Theme
2. D Apal - 60 Meter´n (Rytme)
3. YIN YIN - Tokyo Disko
4. Jiri Jiri - Spaghetti Western

Peruvian saxophonist and composer Allexa Nava anchors the record with rhythmically tight performances on "6844" and Lovellious's track "Kandela." The duo Hana Amaya and Tibo Step deliver a 90s trip-hop aesthetic on the lullaby "Your Prayer," while Bristol-based project Silver Ley blends classical structures with glitchy electronics on "Swandive." Vocalist India Shan presents her solo R&B work on "Bumped My Head," followed by alternative jazz quartet RUS on "Plaistow." The collection's fluid nature is further represented by OkCandice's Afrobeats and folk contributions, gospel-influenced vocal tracks from Faith Folorunso and Sosthieu, and DOPPLR's experimental production "landed," which merges DIY modular synths with tribal drumming.

Bonobo - Distance in Static

‘Distance In Static’ – released Sept 11th on Ninja Tune – is the new album from British musician, producer and DJ, Simon Green AKA Bonobo. It’s the latest from an artist who has forged a path as one of the defining voices in electronic music. A path that includes the release of two UK Top 5 albums (‘Migration’ and ‘Fragments’), billions of streams, collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu & Damon Albarn, and multiple BRIT & GRAMMY-nominations.

Across the record, Green collaborates with a typically striking cast of artists including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes, Nilüfer Yanya, Ichiko Aoba, Nicole Miglis & Aanya Martin. Lyrics appear in English, Urdu and Japanese, while historic Iranian samples & guzheng recordings sit alongside Green's own meticulously processed instrumentation, woven together across recording sessions spanning LA, Tokyo, London and beyond – with a significant portion of the record completed at Neil Young’s legendary Broken Arrow Ranch.

His acclaimed live show has also helped redefine what electronic music can look like on stage, taking him from sold-out performances at Sydney Opera House, Red Rocks & Alexandra Palace – plus a historic five-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall – to major festival stages including Glastonbury, Coachella and Fuji Rock.

Ezra Collective - Here Because of Hope

Ezra Collective's 'Here Because Of Hope' is the most ambitious and personal record of their career - conceived as a body of work split into three spiritual and geographical movements, the album traces the movement of Black people across continents and decades, from the music of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, and home to the streets of London. Formed in the youth clubs of London, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winners Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, James Mollison and Ife Ogunjobi have now spent over a decade making jazz joyful, urgent and undeniable. On 'Here Because Of Hope,' they push that vision further than ever, asking a simple but profound question: why does so much Black music born out of pain sound so joyful? Their answer is hope: the belief, carried across generations and oceans, that something better is possible. Anchored by collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and reaching across the full breadth of the global African diaspora (including America, where those same African and Caribbean roots gave birth to jazz itself) 'Here Because Of Hope' is a record of remarkable warmth, ambition and humanity, and the sound of Britain's most vital band at the peak of their powers.

Dur-Dur Band - Dur-Dur 1988-1989, Vol. 3 & 4 (Analog Africa No.46)

In the 1980s, Mogadishu was home to one of East Africa’s most vibrant music scenes. Nightclubs, hotels and theatres filled with the sound of ambitious young musicians blending Somali melodies with funk, disco, reggae, soul and jazz. At the centre of that movement was Dur-Dur Band — a group whose recordings would later travel far beyond Somalia’s borders and find new audiences decades after they were made.

Drummer Adan Handal was there from the beginning. Born in Mogadishu in 1962, he left school as a teenager to follow his obsession with music. Alongside childhood friend Isse Dahir Qassim, he first performed in school competitions before joining the military band Bakaka. When that chapter ended after the Ogaden War, the two musicians imagined something new: a private band that could bring together some of Mogadishu’s finest young talents and explore new directions in Somali popular music. That idea gave birth to Dur-Dur Band.

By 1984, the group had become the house band at the legendary Jubba Hotel, where they developed their explosive live performances and constantly evolving sound. Drawing inspiration from Somali traditions as well as international influences, Dur-Dur created music that was both deeply local and remarkably modern.

Their early cassette releases — Volumes 1 and 2 — quickly spread across Somalia. But it was with Volumes 3 and 4 that the band reached its creative peak. Recorded under difficult circumstances, these albums captured a group pushing against every limitation: experimenting with rhythms, arrangements and studio techniques while facing personal losses and a country moving toward crisis.

The making of Volume 3 was marked by tragedy when singer Shimaali Ahmed Shimaali was badly injured in a car accident and later left Dur-Dur to join Iftin Band, one of their main rivals. Shortly before the recording of Volume 4, Baastow — the band’s male lead singer from the beginning — left for Saudi Arabia. Another devastating blow followed when founder and bandleader Isse Dahir Qassim died in an electrical accident during a theatre soundcheck. For a time, the future of Dur-Dur was uncertain.

With new members joining and Adan Handal pushing the band into new sonic territory, Volume 4 became one of Dur-Dur’s most adventurous recordings — combining electronic percussion, unusual drum textures and reggae-inspired grooves with the unmistakable spirit of Somali music.

Volume 5 would be their final chapter before civil war forced the musicians into exile and scattered them across the world. The cassettes that once circulated through Mogadishu’s record shops became precious documents of a vanished era.

Today, Dur-Dur Band’s music has travelled further than anyone could have imagined — from Somalia’s dance halls to listeners around the world. Their recordings are more than a document of a vanished era; they are proof of a musical creativity that survived war, displacement and decades of silence.

For Adan Handal, the only musician to appear on every Dur-Dur recording, the story of the band is ultimately the story of a sound that refused to disappear.
