VA	This Is Techno Jazz Vol. I	2LP	JAZZ-O-TECH	JOT 013LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2020 This Is Techno Jazz Vol. 1 is a genre defining collection of music from artists coming from the jazz and techno scenes like Distant Echoes, TUN, Tensal, Mattia Prete, VSK, Fabrizio Rat, Gianluca Petrella, Flat Maze, Luigi Ranghino, Wrong Assessment, Irakli, Key Clef, and more. Together, these contemporary innovators perfectly define the label's vision for jazz and techno fusions. Dystopian label associate and Out-er co-owner Distant Echoes opens up with "Faction 200" featuring Gianni Denitto on sax. It is a cosmic adventure with freeform sax lines driving above rippling synths and broken beats. Milan based Wrong Assessment's deeply hypnotic sounds here feature the experimental jazz quartet Gamapawa, with swirling pads drifting about to make a mysterious atmosphere as distant trumpets bleed in-and-out of the mix and walking bass recalls the atmosphere of '70s jazz fusion. Heavy and industrial sound designer and audio engineer VSK then remixes the Torino Unlimited Noise Trio's "Jason" into a loopy, glitchy, unresolved bit of deep techno with thoughtful jazz chords and plenty of dubby bass weight. Tensal is with "Devourer of Senses", a straight-ahead slice of linear techno that is powerful but also intriguing thanks to the off-grid keys, increasingly intense synths and dark sax motifs. Lecce's techno dreamer and forward-thinking DJ, promoter, and producer Mattia Prete offers "Burning Man" featuring Israeli pianist Uri Gincel and Berlin based experimental guitar player Daniel Calvi. It's a cavernous and absorbing track with freeform jazz drums and heavy drones. Dreamy and abstract techno man Chevel can make all forms of techno, and here remixes Antares Mates's "Movimento 2" into an experimental track with bright synths, sharp sax phrases. and melodic rain over a jittery beat. Producer and piano player Fabrizio Rat and brilliant trombone player Gianluca Petrella are another accomplished Italian pair and their "Turn" is an elastic deep techno track. Irakli and Daniel Calvi's contribution is a dark and menacing piece with sci-fi synths that make for a turbulent intergalactic soundtrack, and "Petardo Boy" by producer Stefano Mori and pianist Uri Gincel aka Flat Maze is a tender and intimate techno cut with gentle keys and a sense of playfulness in the wonky chords. Synth magician Key Clef and piano legend Luigi Ranghino are label regulars who close things out with "Piano Movimento 1", which layers up intricate phrases of jazz piano, evolving echoes of drum machines and surging bass. It's poetic, intense, and thrilling.

VA	Spiritual Jazz Vol. XII: Impulse!	2CD	JAZZMAN RECORDS	JMAN 122CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2020 In Jazzman Records' latest chapter of Spiritual Jazz, the label returns to the source -- the Impulse! label, and the monumental influence of its most prominent artist, John Coltrane. Since the first release in the series back in 2008, Jazzman Records has mapped out the growth of the spiritual sound in jazz. Spiritually energized and politically conscious, the spiritual sound in jazz music is one of the most important currents in the music. The label's series has charted the growth of the style from early experiments at Blue Note and Prestige to European excursions, exiled experimentalists, and sounds from across the globe. But whenever you think of spiritual jazz, it's a fair bet that the double exclamation mark and orange-and-black spine of Impulse quickly comes to mind. Home to John and Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Yusef Lateef, McCoy Tyner, and countless other musical pioneers, Impulse! was the most important and forward-thinking jazz label of the 1960s. With the music-first attitude of an independent but the clout of a major, producers Creed Taylor and Bob Thiele made Impulse! the defining imprint of a crucial decade. They hand-picked the top players of the moment and gave them freedom to record the music they wanted, setting out their stall with a bold slogan: "The New Wave Of Jazz Is On Impulse!" Here, Jazzman Records dive deep into the Impulse! catalog, bringing celebrated masterpieces from Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders into the arena, together with lesser known cuts from Phil Woods and John Klemmer as well as straight-up classics such from Yusef Lateef and Elvin Jones. Fifty years on and the new wave of jazz still sounds fresh, vibrant, and as relevant as ever. Also features Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Archie Shepp, Michael White, and Marion Brown.

VA	Door To The Cosmos	3LP	ON THE CORNER RECORDS	OTCR 010LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2020 On The Corner Records goes beyond being a record label. It is a story of innovative artists from hotbeds of ancient-future music across the globe. This Door To The Cosmos compilation is the label's tenth full release (and an eclectic array of 20 EPs). OtC's rawkus sonic explorations are brought to the fore via 24 tracks making a heady blend of label mainstays and fresh family recruits. The label is an inimitable mixture of Miles Davis's "call it what you want" attitude, the Afro-centric futurism of Sun Ra and the evolving electronic frontier where black music kicks it to the dancefloor. Door To The Cosmos expresses On The Corner's adventure; future sounds referencing the source, be it Detroit, UK bass culture, New Orleans, or the Niger delta. The title riffs off of the otherworldly, Afro futurist jazzer Sun Ra's infamous chant "dare to knock at the door to the cosmos." Sun Ra's sound and narrative bending inspires us to kick at the rules and push at the infinite, the ecstatic and the unknown through music by knock, knock, knocking at the door to the cosmos. The compilation is the first outing for a new raft of artists who are celebrated by the label and welcomed to a creative space brimming with the tales of unsung pioneers of the past and champion sonic explorers of the future. Gatefold sleeves; printed inner sleeves. Features Azu Tiwaline, Cinna Peyghamy, Khalab, DNGDNGDNG, Quixosis, JD Twitch, BKCLX, Edrix Puzzle, Don Korto, Rebecca Vasmant, Uffe, Planet Battagon, Clive from Accounts, Jose Marquez, Guedra Guedra presents Taxi Kabir, Tamar Collocutor V, Ariwo, Batida, Karlon, Petwo Evans, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Nicola Cruz, Sunken Cages, Iyer, Babani Soundsystem, Collocutor, Afrikan Sciences, Tenesha The Wordsmith, Tamar Collocutor, and Vasmant.

VA	Kompakt Total 20	2LP	KOMPAKT	KOM 420LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2020 Double LP version. Two decades. Twenty years. Twenty compilations. Over 400 tracks. Over two days of total playing time and countless colored dots. If someone would have told Kompakt in 1999, when they put together Total 1 (KOM 010LP/KOMP 003CD, 1999) that this would turn into one of the longest standing compilation series in techno world, they would have laughed out loud. But here they are -- in the year 2020 which will probably go down in history as the most difficult period ever for club culture. But Kompakt won't stop doing what they're doing. Music is our oxygen. We'll dance together soon again. The Total series has always been like Kompakt's yearbook and to say it with the late Frank Sinatra: It was a very good year. The label's family of artists delivered a strong heterogeneous mix of uplifting sounds, from the lush reveries of Robag Wruhme and Soela to the stark primetime bangers of Marc Romboy or Anna & Kittin and everything in between. Notable new entries to our crew are the Londoner Kiwi with his wonderfully careless "Hello Echo" that picks up the camp disco vibes Justus Köhncke made a staple in our repertoire. Amsterdam's David Douglas delivers an appetizer for a full course meal. His quirky pop approach sits comfortably between fellow dutchmen Weval's abstract beats and Agents Of Time's opulent Italo disco. Yotam Avni blends Detroit techno with new age jazz that reminisces the sound of ECM artists like Jan Garbarek or John Surman. The man with the hat, Kölsch also picks up jazzier notes in his very own big room style. Youngblood Jonathan Kaspar appears twice, fortifying his status as one of the hottest beat smiths of our hometown Cologne. Total wouldn't be Total without our permanent staff present in full force. May Total 20 become your trustworthy companion in these uncertain times. As per tradition, Kompakt's founding fathers, Voigt & Voigt, Jürgen Paape, Jörg Burger, Michael Mayer, as well as our Berlin outpost Sascha Funke all deliver exclusive gems that also feature on Total 20. Double-LP version features Jürgen Paape, Jörg Burger, Michael Mayer, David Douglas, Sascha Funke, Voigt & Voigt, and Jonathan Kaspar. Double-LP edition includes vinyl only track by Christian Nielsen; includes download.

VA	Arabian Disco: 12 Arabian Disco Slashed from the 70s	LP	NAUGHTY RHYTHM RECORDS	NRR 004LP
$21.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2020 Directly from the Cosmic Discotheque galaxy, here is a brand-new satellite called Arabian Disco. This fine disc will get you through a bizarre sub-world of '70s disco. This was mostly a European-disco sub-genre clearly inspired by Arabian atmospheres. Now after the so-called classic disco, Afro disco, and space disco you should be ready for this new strand. A unique blend of exotic nuances and typical belly dance rhythms. Thanks to these 12 tracks you will discover a whole new landscape based on the mix of apparently different genres and distant cultures. Only for disco junkies and belly dancers on acid. Features Ismaïl, Slim, The Bumpers, The Sand Flowers, Leila, The Abdul Hassan Orchestra, Pop Concerto Orchestra, Sands, Nowy, Antares, Babylone, and Voyage.

VA	Seleccioon Magnetica 1982/1996	Cassette	SUCATA TAPES	SUC 038CS
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2020 Late 20th Century outsider music from the outskirts of Buenos Aires featuring Alan Courtis, Pablo Reche, Quum, and many more artists from the Argentinian underground. Setting out as an archaeological excavation, literally exhuming material which has been under the surface for more than two decades, this special compilation features work by established and under the radar artists that helped set the now fertile Argentinian underground. All tracks were directly digitized from the original cassette masters (half of them never previously released either). The emphasis being to maintain the original sound quality as it was produced at the time (hence the cassette format). The compilation also showcases a broad-spectrum style of music that was done at a specific time with very primitive gear -- not by choice but because of the obvious economic restrictions of accessing sophisticated equipment forced these musicians on the DIY road. Domestic tape recorders making cassette loops, broken record players, toy keyboards, and the noisy "fingers on circuitry" long before Nicolas Collins championed it on Handmade Electronic Music (2006). Whilst some artists actually had access to professional synths and drum machines (UnoxUno, Quum, Jaime Genovart), they still lacked of standard recording equipment. A crucial document then showing how their unique approach to music making influenced the forthcoming experimental scene of South America making these artists influential cult figures of the underground. Compiled by Juan José Calarco and Pablo Reche. Digitized and mastered by Juan José Calarco. Also features Alfredo Horacio Pérez, Luis Marte, Conducto, Esófago Zombie, Las Cintas Magnéticas, Zigo, La Espora Invasora, and Francisco Ali-Brouchoud.

After the second volume's Afro-oriented atmospheres, this new chapter will take you right back to the heart of '70s disco funk.

VA	Modern Jazz Dance Classics Volume Two: Compiled by Jeff The Fish	2LP	STAUBGOLD	STAUB 157LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2020 Following on from the acclaimed Modern Jazz Dance Classics Volume One compilation (STAUB 148LP, 2019), Staubgold announce the arrival of Volume Two. Again, selected by MJDC's very own Jeff The Fish, here is another collection of contemporary club jazz which will please jazz DJs everywhere. The collection is eclectic and includes artists from the world over, from the Netherlands (Marutyri), France (Electrophazz and Pj5), the UK (Wild Card), Catalonia (Carxofa), Japan (Fox Capture Plan and Yusuke Shima), the US (Niki Haris, Brian Charette, Mario Cruz, and Nicole Banks), Germany (Markpaulnorton), Finland (Nina May), and Azerbaijan (Shahin Novrasli). A bit about how these MJDC compilations came about: For some time now on the continual hunt for new DJ material to play in the jazz scene, Jeff The Fish has been coming across great tracks by current artists that are often only available on digital or CD format, and we aim to compile and press this music onto vinyl so that DJs can play them in jazz sessions. Following a discussion between DJ Jeff The Fish and Markus Detmer at the Staubgold record label in Germany, Staubgold created the new sub label MJDC to do this. And here is the second volume of contemporary club jazz which will inject new music into the jazz dance scene.

VA	Sowas Von Egal 2: German Synth Wave Underground 1981-1984	LP	BUREAU B	BB 356LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2020 LP version. Two years have passed since Bureau B released the first Sowas Von Egal compilation (BB 310CD/LP, 2018). With the musical movement or genre known as NDW celebrating its 40th anniversary, what better time than now to launch an ambitious successor to the first sampler. The beating heart of this endeavor is once again invigorated by the synchronous passions of bespoke Hamburg label Bureau B and the label's Damaged Goods nights where they present rare, obscure synth and wave discs from the early 1980s. It was clear from the outset that Sowas Von Egal 2 would need to scale similar heights of excellence as its predecessor, featuring carefully selected, sought-after, danceable tunes. Bureau B began by compiling a pool of potential tracks, a creative process of lively discussion in the spirit of "open-mindedness" which culminated in a list of priority targets. After research and rich encounters with input from musicians, friends, and acquaintances, Bureau B revised their target list several times over -- some artists simply could not be found, a few had actually passed away. There were also some who were determined not to revisit their own musical history and asked the label to leave out their songs. Some tracks are so rare that they do not even appear on YouTube. Bureau B have picked up the rights to release them. In contrast to the first volume, most of the acts on Sowas Von Egal 2 were only active in the early 1980s and have not released any records since then. The tape artists were particularly invested in the DIY ethic -- as is often apparent in their sound aesthetics and the unbridled energy which has lost none of its intensity today. Their art was seldom -- if ever -- tempered by commercial considerations or sales strategies. The photograph on the cover beautifully captures the paradoxical tensions which pervaded the atmosphere of the early Eighties: new beginnings, renewal, protest and self-empowerment on one side, frustration, hedonism, future anxiety, and destructive rage on the other. The DIY spirit ingrained in the music and attitude of the bands and artists gathered here is also brought into focus, whilst simultaneously establishing a connection to Hamburg. Mastering by Tom Morgenstern. Artwork by Biljana Tomic. Features Die Neue Weltmacht, Christian Kneisel, Silberstreif, Lieferschein, 4712, Plastiktanz, Rolf Jungklaus, Vono, Kleenex Aktiv, Conrad + Gregor Schnitzler, Partner Eins, Mark Montan, "In" Seit, Mittageisen, Die Synthetische Republik, and Casino Mariteam.

VA	Music for the NAACP	2LP	RUNNING BACK	RBNAACP 001LP
$26.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2020 "When Bandcamp announced that they will be holding a special fundraiser on June 19th 'that is specifically focused on racial justice, equality, and that they will donate their share of revenues that day to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund', we thought to put out a special sampler that contributes to that cause. All profits of the sales of Music for the NAACP will go exactly there. Due to the lack of time, it seemed knocked together, but old and new friends, from near and far alike did their best, to set it up. So, special thanks to everyone involved: especially to Lopazz at Mixmastering, Heidelberg, Rand Muzik Leipzig and the SST cutting house in Frankfurt, who did their part to also make this available on a 2x12" compilation (same destination for its profits). Thank you for listening, helping and donating." --Gerd Janson Features KiNK, Session Victim & Iron Curtis, Gerd Janson, Genius of Time, Katerina, Robert Dietz, Roman Flügel, Dinky, Bella Boo, Tiger & Woods, and Todd Osborn.

VA	Door to the Cosmos - On the Corner Dancefloor Sampler	12"	ON THE CORNER RECORDS	OTCR 12018EP
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2020 On the Corner Records was awarded "Label of the Year" at the Worldwide Awards 2018. On The Corner Records is a story of artists and scenes that goes way beyond being a record label. The label is an inimitable mixture of Miles Davis's "call it what you want" attitude, Sun Ra' s Afro futurism, and the ecstatic soul lifting influence of Black music on electronic dance music. On Door to the Cosmos - On the Corner Dancefloor Sampler, DJ and label owner Pete On the Corner has curated a volume of cuts from present and future label family. On this maxi EP, Venezuela meets India via New York, the street sound of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania pulses through UK jungle. Opener, Dengue Dengue Dengue's "Yodeler", is finally on wax having been as rare-as-hens-teeth dubplate. From psychedelic cumbia to dub, salsa to footwork, tribal to techno, the tropical duo from Peru explore analog and digital rhythms to create their unique sound. New label family, The Diabolical Liberties are stalwart scenesters, Alex Patchwork and Earl Zinger. "River of Sound" tears through the jungle, so jump in for a swim. Uffe is also making his OtC debut. Pete OtC chased him down as he was prolifically dropping jazzed-up and gnarly house after returning to his native Denmark. Black Classical is back after a regenerative hiatus: the mysterious web otherlings reputation underpinned by his 12-hour "spiritual jazz" mix tape that has been living its own life online and across the radio waves over the last decade. "Medassi" is an elixir of deep house. On the flip, is another fresh-faced recruit to the OtC family. Clive From Accounts's "Moon Buggy" makes it clear he wasn't only paying attention to OtC's numbers. MC Palakata, aka Mosam, is a dancer with a Singeli flow, from the streets of Dar Es Salaam. During an OtC recording session at Nafasi Studio in Dar, Tom Blip worked with Palakata and created this heat. Set alight with Swahili, "Singeli Jungles" is wild. Following on from Planet Battagon's sold-out debut EP of "driod jazz" (OTCR 12011EP, 2018), the Admiral has sent this hard-swinging, future thumper to OtC. "Tugg Luke Endeavour" kicks it to the cosmic dancefloor. "Mudras'" by Sunken Cages remixed here by New York's MPeach, brings more, new OtC family straight to wax. The remix adds "Latinx del Futuro" where hi-energy dance meets low-end bass, adding a lilt of the rhythms from her native Venezuela.

VA	Kparr Dire: Balafon Music from Lobi Country	LP/DVD	EDITION TELEMARK	ET 903-06LP
$38.50 IN STOCK Kparr Dire: Balafon Music from Lobi Country is a single LP and includes a DVD with a full-length movie (125 minutes) of Balafon music by the Lobi people, recorded in and around Gaoua, Burkina Faso, on a two-week journey in June 2014, by Dirk Dresselhaus (alias Schneider TM), Julian Kamphausen and Arved Schultze. The Lobi are an ethnic group of about 180,000 people living in southern Burkina Faso and bordering regions. The primary instrument of their traditional music is the balafon, played solo or in a duet, usually accompanied by percussionists. Lobi balafon music serves as a complex language for communication with the audience but also with ancestors and spirits. Different kinds of music are used for different purposes and social atmospheres (birth, death, joy, hunting, war, etc.) At its core, this music is hundreds of years old and knowledge of its mastery is passed on from generation to generation, with different styles emerging in different regions and outside influences picked up on the way. The first well-known recordings of Lobi balafon music were made in 1961 and published on the Ocora LP Musiques Du Pays Lobi. While the tunes heard there clearly show their ancient roots, the music on this release is not isolated from current influences and carries traces of the modern African electronic pop music and contemporary R&B that is widespread in the region. This has led to a new minimalist, poly-rhythmic, and breakbeat-laden style prominent in Gaoua, to, recorded here for what may be the first time. Yet the pieces are the same traditional songs, played differently from generation to generation and from day to day. Musicians on the LP are Martin Kensiè (Da Toh Alain) with ensemble and Palé Goukoun. Their fathers -- Kambiré Tiaporté and Palé Tioionté, respectively -- had been recorded in the 1990s for the Ocora CDs Pays Lobi, Xylophone De Funérailles (1999) and Pays Lobi, Xylophones Du Buur (2006) that served as the starting point for this journey, The record is supplemented by numerous photos and an extensive interview with Dresselhaus. DVD features a full-length movie by Schultze, documenting the trip through various localities and villages, with numerous performances also including other musicians. Full-color gatefold sleeve with DVD tray [DVD is PAL format, region free].

Captures the creativity and optimism of female musicians in '70s California." --The Guardian, on The Ladies of Too Slow to Disco Vol. 1 (HDYARE 003CD/LP, 2016) On Volume 2 of The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco, DJ Supermarkt has brought together 16 compelling tunes and hidden gems from 1974-82 that tell a deeper, more political story, while taking the suave sounds you love into new territory: soul, gospel, and jazz. The songs on this compilation are from women who were taking control of their own careers, making an independent stance in the some of the most trying years for women in the history of the recording industry. In an effort to tell the often untold, yet deeply influential, stories of this delicious period of music, Volume 2 highlights songs from players who broke through the machismo that sat upon the glass ceiling before them to create classics. As with every TSTD release, you will uncover lost classics and should-have- been-hits into the overdue limelight. You'll find confessional funk and sultry disco, 5th Avenue flounce and soulful midnight aching. You will discover artists here who were movers and shakers from the 1970s Women's Music movement, artists determined to fashion a music industry that worked for them. You're in the company of musical royalty. The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco Vol. 2 brings you the smartest writers and singers, Grammy winners and unforgettable performers, all at the peak of their powers. Features Terea, Marti Caine, Diane Tell, Lulu, Karla Bonoff, Franne Golde, Martee Lebous, Lonette McKee, Kristle Murden, Janis Siegel, Linda Tillery, Ullanda McCullough, Nicolette Larson, Valerie Carter, Elkie Brooks, and Holly Near.

VA	Brown Acid - The Tenth Trip	CD	RIDINGEASY RECORDS	EZRDR 119CD
$15.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Here it is, the tenth edition of Brown Acid in just half as many years! As always, Riding Easy has packed in the highest highs of the dankest hard rock, heavy psych, and protometal tracks previously lost to the sands of time. Like throughout this series, all of these tracks were painstakingly licensed legitimately and the artists were paid. It's hard to believe it's up to ten volumes of this lysergic Neanderthal wail, but the long-lost jams just keep-a-coming like Texas crude to fuel the rock 'n' roll engine and melt one's metal mind."

VA	Motordisc 3	12"	MOTORDISCS	MOTOR 003EP
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/26/2020 This third of the Motordisc opens with a slow and delighted beat by The Juan MacLean, which turns into an electro mesmerizing track. Is it slow trance or is it some kind of house -- Are we early in the night or late in the after party? -- Are we still dreaming? "Mark 211" by Javi Redondo takes the energy level up with some acidy synth and punchy snares, proving that the power of a track does not necessarily lies in its speed. It is now time to flip the disc, Naduve takes you later in the night, bringing a murky vibe, thanks to haunting pads and low frequency instruments, picturing a proper underground club. The sun now starts to rise on the Seine river, the last track sounds like an ode to the dawn, where voices and shiny synths will emerge and open the crowd's eyes. It was "Peppi" by Fairmont. This was a night at garage.
