RELEASE DATE: 5/10/2019
Double LP version. 180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve with liner notes. The perfect soundtrack of a very first "french kiss", of an early morning sunset by the Seine Songs to relax to or to fall in love with, songs to dance to or to dream with the soundtrack of an extraordinary life -- your life, maybe NEO is the next chapter for the critically-acclaimed compilation series Too Slow To Disco. For DJ Supermarkt it was time to explore the exciting new, modern smooth sounds of the present. With TSTD NEO - En France, How Do You Are? Recordings go to the exciting European capital of all things mellow, elegant, slightly erotic, and pop. The compilation contains 17 tracks -- some of them never released and exclusive for this compilation -- featuring two godfathers and grand seigneurs: the legendary Bertrand Burgalat, head honcho of the Tricatel label, musician, composer, arranger, producer, and the electro-disco wizard Yuksek who also runs the infamous Partyfine label. The others are the kids of Michel Legrand, Les Jeunes Gens Modernes, and the French Touch, they sometimes try to marry "Debussy to a disco beat", they've all got this blue melancholy which you only find in the French streets, they sing in in their mother tongue or in their so very charming English accent without any complexes. They're boys and girls. Duos (Bleu Toucan, Poom, or Weekend Affair...), bands (L'Impératrice, Cléa Vincent, and her friends), collectives (the elusive Catastrophe) or solo artists (Jean Tonique, Lomboy, Magnüm, Saint DX...) mix candid melodies and Gainsbourgienne basslines, electro arrangements, and sensual grooves. There are funky guitars licks and -- as usual with TSTD -- way too many saxophones (it sounds like Duran Duran's "Rio"), slap basses, and some vocoders, even features a great ironic use of the modern autotune. It's the perfect soundtrack of a very first "french kiss", of an early morning sunset by the Seine -- or by the sea (you choose) --, of a late bar evening session, sipping red wine or a dry martini cocktail -- once again, you choose. They're songs to relax to or to fall in love with, songs to dance to or to dream with. They're the soundtrack of an extraordinary life. Your life, maybe. Also features Ricky Hollywood, Claap! & Santana, Polo & Pan, DJ Supermarkt, Jack Tennis, and Paradis. Contains three exclusive, unreleased tracks.

RELEASE DATE: 5/10/2019
Inspired by Brownswoods Recordings' We Out Here compilation (2018), Byrd Out has pulled together a compilation featuring some of the emerging artists on the bill for Walthamstow Jazz Festival, straddling Leeds, Bristol, and London. Pyjæn seamlessly melds funk, Afro-beat, and contemporary sounds with nods to hip-hop and disco, whilst acknowledging the traditional era of 1920s jazz and dance music. Ezra Collective's Dylan Jones leads the band. The Leeds-based seven-piece band Têtes De Pois, is rife with catchy horn lines and driving chord progressions. Dulahli and Hey Fish continue the Leeds connection, hailing from the nascent label Tight Lines. Run Logan Run and Waldo's Gift come from the West, both building a fair degree of improvised interplay into their sets. Run Logan Run's use of looping is particularly striking, and Waldo's Gift create genuinely beautiful music on the fly. Artwork by Oliver Bancroft.

For a sinful walk through this hellish fair! You feel seedy enough to secure a second devilish ticket for Satan's fiendish ghost train! Escape your boringly sizzling purgatory and come, hurry up and step in... come aboard, take a seat, because Satan is the only one who really knows how to have a hell of a time. This place is teeming with Azrael's many seductions: Only here, with the devil, will you meet provocatively lovely ladies with sinfully luscious lips and flashing eyes that will tempt, then blow your mind. Only here, with Satan, can you sip the diabolic drinks for free that reflect the malicious moonlight. Only here, with Lucifer, can you feast on promising satanic dishes to delight the depths of your taste buds. And only here, with Satan and his drunken engineers, they will again provide "legions" of breath-taking Gadara-wagons for you, lightning-fast hot-rods, arrow-fast black trains to take you straight to hell!

DGTL Records presents its different sounds on this various artists EP. Australian born, London based DJ and producer HAAi presents her track "Drumting," which has a danceable yet steady rhythm. The typical driving and sturdy sound of Mexico's Rebolledo and Paulor is evident on "The Fog And The Forest" which is almost like an LCD Soundsystem song without the lyrics. Axel Boman's "Surfliner" is one to listen to while overlooking the ocean after a warm day in the sun for sure. Amsterdam's techno wunderkind JP Enfant offers "Sputnik", a smooth but stirring ride into space loaded with hallucinogenic acid lines.

Cortizona present the first time LP reissue of Noises, originally released on Kamikaze in 1977. Around the time Marc Moulin played his last concerts with Placebo, he met the young musician Michel Moers at the jazz venue "Les Lundis Hortense" in Brussels in 1977. Impressed by his vocal delivery Marc invited him to the small studio of his friend Dan Lacksman to work on the songs, "Ma Mère Etait Propre", "Musaque Etniq", and "Il Est Heures". A few weeks and recording sessions later the trio decide to start an electronic music group together -- named Telex --, and to release the miniatures of Michel Moers on the compilation Noises, on the very short-lived label Kamikaze, he introduced (and also ended) the same year in November. Noises is a rather uncommon collection of songs that ranges from pieces with stunning vocal harmonies of an early Ilona Chale (who later also would be a member of the band Cos) and her brother Eric, a hypnotic chant where Marc Moulin blends a speech of Belgian King Boudewijn I with reel-to-reel tape techniques to a trance anthem, zonin' the King's voice already into a Moskow Diskow-frequence, or Michel Moers discovering an unknown Deliverance vibe with a mouth harp and flute, Daniel Plasschaert stretching out an amazing new world in only 50 seconds, next level field recordings by Robert Altaber to Ariel Kalma who transforms a poem by Thibet Marpa in a mesmerizing ambient composition. An amazing Belgian compilation still oscillating 40 years later into the pop waves. 180 gram vinyl. Contains two new postcards as an insert, including liner notes by Michel Moers and the original lyrics of "Aman" and drawing by Ariel Kalma.

Buzzsaw Joint was born of a club offering Londoners the chance to revel in the sounds of good ol' trashy rock n' roll in all its vintage vinyl forms. Club top-cat, Fritz, then took the primitive buzzsaw sounds online with a series of savage Mixcloud mixes created by record fiends from all over the globe. Now, the high-octane energy of Buzzsaw Joint has manifested into the physical form with a run of compilations on Stag-O-Lee. Get your ears around the wild n' weird sounds of the extraordinary and inimitable Buzzsaw Joint! There's something goin' on down here in these parts. It's put a buzzing in my head, a thumping in my heart. Buzzsaw Joint is back with a fifth cut and this time a Swedish selector wields the blade. DJ Sophisticated Savage first began sharing his wares in a Stockholm Tiki bar, which explains the raft of exotic sounds found on this compilation. But that's not all, add rock, roll, R&B and soul to the list. What's consistent from start to finish is the quality and obscurity of the selections. Open your ears wide and enjoy the ride. 16 tracks recorded between 1957-1962. Features Bill Springer, Stick Evans, Herb Zane, The Starfires, The Kingston Trio, The Don Schraier Rocktet, The Metallics, Blues Blenders, Jimmy Uke and his Islanders, The Demons, Jimmie Raye, Doodie Woo, Melvin Smith, Rhythmaires, Ray Johnson, and The Scholars.

"The hard stuff saga continues with Brown Acid - The Eighth Trip! Yet again, Riding Easy has searched high and low to bring ten tracks of straight blue flame fire from the golden age of heaviness. As usual, these rare tracks have been carefully curated, analogically sourced, and fully licensed so one can listen guilt-free and save a lot of time and money tracking down the original copies. This Trip comes straight at ya with an all-out attack, quite literally -- Attack's 'School Daze' kicks out the jams Detroit-style. White Rock will knock your stank-ass socks off with their 1972 burner 'Please Don't Run Away'. This 45 was privately released by this Houston-based band that reportedly played shows with Josefus, Stone Axe, and Purple Sun. Riverside's two-sider from 1974 rips from front to back. It's also exclusively available here and is virtually unknown. And that's just some of the stellar collection of rare singles featured here. Some of the best thrills of the Internet music revolution is the ability to find extremely rare music with great ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half a century -- particularly in certain genres. Previously, only the most extremely dedicated and passionate record collectors had the stamina and prowess to hunt down long forgotten wonders in dusty record bins -- often hoarding them in private collections, or selling at ridiculous collector's prices. Legendary compilations like Nuggets, Pebbles, ad nauseum, have exhausted the mines of early garage rock and proto-punk, keeping alive a large cross-section of underground ephemera. However, few have delved into and expertly archived the wealth of proto-metal, pre-stoner rock tracks collected on Brown Acid."

LP version. Rastafarianism came to prominence in the late 1960s/1970s and had a huge influence on the musical culture in Jamaica. The sentiments of the songs reflected the struggles of life, as reggae music always did but now with an added spiritual/conscious element to the lyrics. By the mid-1970s most, if not all the top-flight singers were following the doctrine and growing their har to dreadlocks. Everything was truly "Dread". At the heart of this musical explosion was again Bunny "Striker" Lee a man who was always at the heart of the action and many times in his career ahead of the musical game. As Bunny Lee's stable of singers were at this time nearly all Rasta's and with the worldwide acceptance of Bob Marley, in especially the foreign territories, this musical style was the way forward for reggae music in the mid-1970s. The visual focal point of this new turn in reggae music would be a call to all things "Dread". Add to the mix Bunny Lee's close working relationship with studio wizard King Tubby, again not a Rasta himself, but someone who could sonically bring what was needed to the table and enable the whole musical chemistry to fall into place. Heavy rhythms were created to match the heavy and serious lyrics and "Versions Galore" as they say were coming out fast and furious. We have compiled a set of conscious tunes that not only match the "Dread" criteria, but also are just great tunes. The great Jacob Miller's "Zion Gates", Cornell Campbell's "Two Faced Rasta", Horace Andy's "It's Gonna Be Dread" alongside Linval Thompson's "Never Conquer Jah". Two timeless cuts from the The Abyssinians get a fresh outing by two great singers, firstly Don Carlos's cut to "Satta Massaganna" and the prince of reggae himself, Dennis Brown works "Declaration of Rights" in fine style. Johnny Clarke's "Man Like Me" and "Dem Say Rasta" still sounds as fresh today as when they were first laid down and Wayne Jarrett's "Live On Jah" and Frankie Jones's "Satta And Praise Jah" add to this great selection. All great "Dread" tunes that were cut or voiced at King Tubby's giving them that extra shine. So if you are Rasta or not this is a great set of tunes to make you move and also like all of the best things in life, makes you think... Also features Bonnie Davis.

Black Editions present a monumental collection of 22 exclusive tracks by 22 of the most important artists to emerge from the Japanese underground over the last 40 years. Directed by Ghost's Masaki Batoh and produced in tribute to the late Hideo Ikeezumi, founder of P.S.F. Records, the Modern Music record store and G-Modern Magazine. Few label founders loom as large in the history of underground music as P.S.F Record's Hideo Ikeezumi. Over three decades and more than 200 titles, Ikeezumi's intensely critical ear guided and assembled a body of music that transcended genre; he exclusively championed artists that were uncompromising in their visions, unconcerned with trends or commercial success. This four-LP compilation, selected by Ghost's Masaki Batoh, is a primer of Ikeezumi's curation: a kaleidoscopic collection of previously unreleased gems from the Japanese underground. Running the full stylistic gamut from the hushed tones of Kim Doo Soo and Go Hirano to the psychedelic rock splendor of Overhang Party and High Rise this set connects the dots between generations and movements, all linked by the common thread of Ikeezumi's panoramic musical vision. The most original voices in the avant garde, psychedelia, folk, free jazz, and rock all found a home with P.S.F. Records. Directed by Masaki Batoh. Edited by Yoshiaki Kondo (GOK Sound). Mastered by Kazuo Ogino; Vinyl Mastering by John Golden. Designed by Takuya Kitamura. Also features Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O., Kazuo Imai, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, .es, Keiji Haino, á qui avec Gabriel, Shizuka, Masayoshi Urabe, Ché-SHIZU, Fushitsusha, White Heaven, Keiko Higuchi, Reizen, Makoto Kawashima, Niseaporia, Ghost, Hasegawa-Shizuo, and Hideaki Kondo. Includes essays by Masaki Batoh and Alan Cummings along with artist profiles, all in English and Japanese. Deluxe triple gatefold, heavy tip-on edition with metallic inks and spot finishes. Includes printed inner sleeves. Pressed to high quality vinyl at RTI; Digital download included.

Add to the mix Bunny Lee's close working relationship with studio wizard King Tubby, again not a Rasta himself, but someone who could sonically bring what was needed to the table and enable the whole musical chemistry to fall into place. Heavy rhythms were created to match the heavy and serious lyrics and "Versions Galore" as they say were coming out fast and furious. We have compiled a set of conscious tunes that not only match the "Dread" criteria, but also are just great tunes. The great Jacob Miller's "Zion Gates", Cornell Campbell's "Two Faced Rasta", Horace Andy's "It's Gonna Be Dread" alongside Linval Thompson's "Never Conquer Jah". Two timeless cuts from the The Abyssinians get a fresh outing by two great singers, firstly Don Carlos's cut to "Satta Massaganna" and the prince of reggae himself, Dennis Brown works "Declaration of Rights" in fine style. Johnny Clarke's "Man Like Me" and "Dem Say Rasta" still sounds as fresh today as when they were first laid down and Wayne Jarrett's "Live On Jah" and Frankie Jones's "Satta And Praise Jah" add to this great selection. All great "Dread" tunes that were cut or voiced at King Tubby's giving them that extra shine. So if you are Rasta or not this is a great set of tunes to make you move and also like all of the best things in life, makes you think... Also features Bonnie Davis. CD version includes three bonus tracks; includes a track by Leroy Smart.

Michael Jackson left us in 2009. Enlace Funk magazine wants to honor MJ with this project, where ten national artists have been inspired by his music, one of the greatest artists of all time. The ten themes included in the compilation are new and exclusive for this album, Michael Jackson Changed My Life. The first track has been recorded by a new line-up: Enlace Funk Experiment (a musical project of Enlace Funk magazine) with Juno on vocal.

Unison dares Miles Davis's favorite song in Michael's discography, Blanquito Smith contributes to "Smooth Criminal" with even more boogie mood if possible.

2019 repress. "The 'resurrection' of Peruvian tropical music, of psychedelic cumbia or, as others like to call it, 'chicha,' is perhaps one of the most surprising musical phenomena in recent years . . . Elements of rock, folklore, música criolla, Andean music, Amazonian music, Colombian cumbia, salsa and even psychedelia intermingle in this 'cannibal' genre capable of devouring and assimilating every possible influence. Both Enrique Delgado and Manzanita, the two great founding guitarists of the genre, made music that absorbed all possible manner of styles. Vampisoul features not only tunes from Delgado with his group Los Destellos and from Manzanita, but also from their side projects: Delgado's Los Casmeños and Manzanita's El Monje Loco. Los Girasoles, Los Yungas, Los Beta 5 and Los Ecos continued those sonic explorations . . . Although this compilation consists mostly of instrumentals, a classic of Peruvian tropical music, 'Colegiala' by Los Ilusionistas, is included with vocals from Carlos Ramírez 'Centeno'. Los Beta 5 would never turn to the sung format . . . Another group that has in their origins instrumental beat spirit and sound are Los Ecos. The sparkling-clean guitar sound of their leader Beto Cuestas always shines in songs filled with a delicate pop sensibility and melodies that oscillate between melancholy and danceable experimentation. Los Yungas had recorded songs in which música criolla and huayno are 'cumbianized,' but the more significant point of departure happened when Los Demonios Del Mantaro released a historic single . . . [Carlos] Baquerizo was also the first to introduce an electric guitar in Peruvian cumbia in Los 5 Palomillas, a side project of Los Demonios. The influence of the 'provincial sound' would be felt by many other guitarists . . . One of the most original and surprising guitar sounds in Peruvian tropical music would be that of Maximiliano Chávez from Los Orientales De Paramonga, who created a very peculiar style of tropical music with deep basses, galloping percussion, and wah-wah guitar . . .Los Mirlos, with their guitars and hypnotic grooves, achieved the most popular and transnational of the Amazonian sounds. The other Amazonian miracle was Juaneco Y Su Combo, led by Juan Wong. Their music, full of references to Amazonian mythology and to ayahuasca (a psychoactive drink), featured the guitar of Noé Fachín." --Alfredo Villar
Also features Los Orientales, Compay Quinto, Los Pecos, Los Titanes, Los Yungas, Grupo Celeste, Los Santos, Aniceto Y Sus Fabulosos, and José Y Sus Antillanos.
