Although Dilla is best known as part of the hip-hop world - through his work as part of Slum Village, solo albums and productions for Busta Rhymes, Phat Kat and more - his connections to house music also run deep, and he worked with Moodymann, Andres, Amp Fiddler and more in his time.

Genius / GZA
Liquid Swords: Chess Box
4LP (Get On Down)
For Record Store Day, Get On Down is proud to bring you GZA’s Liquid Swords in its most deluxe treatment ever. The
Liquid Swords Chess Box contains the entire Liquid Swords album and complete instrumentals, as well as in depth,
full color liner notes with contributions from GZA himself, inner jackets and dust sleeves with memorable vintage artwork from the original release, and even a complete full-sized wooden chess set, which can be played on the chess board contained on the inner lining of the box. In the early to mid nineties and at the peak of his powers as a producer, Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA crafted a distinctive soundtrack at his basement studio in Staten Island. Whether or not he knew it at the time this haunting
landscape of dusty samples, sharp snares and menacing urban gloom, would soon become a pillar of hip hop history.
These instrumentals, peppered in with frequent interludes of dialogue from the classic samurai flick Shogun Assassin, became the core of the GZA’s 1995 sophomore LP Liquid Swords and would eventually be considered by many as each individual’s finest work. Cerebral, strategic and precise with his words, GZA crystallizes a range of influences - from chess to kung-fu films to mob flicks and Eastern philosophy - into sharply delivered rhymes. Many would argue there
is no greater MC to compliment the RZA’s production as well as GZA did on Liquid Swords.
Housed in a sturdy wrapped hard board box with a deluxe magnetic clasp, this edition of Liquid Swords spans across
8 sides of vinyl with the complete album as a double LP and the full RZA produced instrumentals as a double LP. The album features appearances by the entire Wu-Tang Clan, and includes the auspicious debut of Killah Priest on
“B.I.B.L.E.” Liquid Swords now has the vinyl reissue deserving of a project acknowledged as one of the “100 Best Rap Albums” by The Source and “Top 100 Records of the 1990s” by Pitchfork.

Heliocentrics, The
13 Degrees Of Reality
2LP (Now Again)
"Out There" may have been one hell of an opening volley, but having spent some years in the wild running among mavericks like Astatke and Oriental Jazz pioneer Lloyd Miller, the Heliocentrics have realized that their strongest statements are made somewhere between the persistent fuzz of Owusu’s distorted guitar, Catto’s impossible syncopation and Ferguson’s looping bass lines. 13 Degrees of Reality is one of the most distinctive musical statements you’ll hear all year.

K-Def
The Exhibit Colored Vinyl Edition
LP (Redefinition)
Fresh off the success of his “One Man Band” album, legendary hip-hop producer K-Def is back in record time with another quality release called The Exhibit. This time, the New Jersey native included 11 instrumental arrangements alongside two vocal cuts that feature MCs Blu, Quartermaine (Kev Brown, Low Budget Records) and Seven Shawn (of World Renown). Listening to The Exhibit is sorta like walking through an art gallery or museum; some of what you hear might be open to interpretation while other pieces may or may not be exactly what they seem at first glance. The Exhibit is not a concept album and does not have a running theme throughout, instead it's simply a collection of great art that further solidifies K-Def's reputation as an expert audio engineer and an exciting producer/arranger.

Long Arm
The Branches Deluxe Edition
2LP (Project: Mooncircle / hhv.de)
When listening to "The Branches" it will stimulate diverse brain areas, creating short movies and stories in your mind's eye. From Soviet era hand-drawn animated fairy tales in winterly forrest-landscapes to narravites of urban struggle or even classical tales in dark and gloomy basement bars – let the record spin and your mental cinema flow.
This album made it into the radio shows of Mary Anne Hobbs (XFM) as well as Gilles Peterson‘s “All Winners” show on BBC Radio 1, his personal list of favorites of the year 2011, alongside various other highly respected stations across the globe.
For the 2012 winter season we decided to give "The Branches" a proper repress treatment, not only pressing a new batch for all our listeners that weren't able to acquire a copy yet but also spicing it up and making it a true collectors item for anyone that already owns a copy.
Therefore, the – now gatefold – artwork / transparent 2LP vinyl version, originally drawn by Bioniq was colourized by Roman Pokrovsky and, besides everything being remastered and including new work from Long Arm himself, we also added a second vinyl with various remixes by on the one hand like-minded artists like Hidden Orchestra, Dday One and 40 Winks, with whom Long Arm also shares artistic relationships and friendships, and on the other hand more genre-overarching and experimental remixes from such acclaimed artists as Robag Wruhme, Sieren, Yoko Duo, Berry Weight, Empt and Speck from CYNE, which will surely make for a unique listening experience.

When soon-to-be-renowned Boston hip-hop duo 7L & Esoteric collaborated with the Wu-Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck on the title track to 7L&E’s debut EP "Speaking Real Words" in 1999, the timing was perfect. The upstart duo was building a serious buzz on the East Coast and beyond, while Deck was still winning praise for his gold-selling solo disc "Uncontrolled Substance". As flashy pop-oriented rap was pumped on commercial radio stations, their natural chemistry and simpatico skills shone as a beacon to real hip-hop fans, a base of listeners who were soon asking about their next musical summit.
14 years later, the hunger for sharp lyrics and head-snapping beats hasn't dissipated. In the face of the ever-worsening status quo of watered-down and vapid radio rap songs, the call for something real has only gotten stronger, and once again the time is right for a call to action – for someone or something to come in and send wack rappers running for the hills in fear. Enter "Czarface", the upcoming, uncompromising full-length album from Inspectah Deck and 7L & Esoteric.
Not surprising, respect for real hip-hop runs deep, and "Czarface" brings an army with it — consider the star-studded guest list which includes Roc Marciano, Action Bronson, Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks,) Oh No (Gangrene,) Mr. MFN eXquire and Deck's fellow Wu-Tang Clansmen Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna.
Aside from one track blessed by the almighty DJ Premier, production on "Czarface" belongs exclusively to DJ 7L, who provides the musical backbone which holds the album together. His ability to craft a hip-hop sound that's current and exciting with a classic feel left Deck impressed: “This is one of the first albums I've heard in a while that gives you so many different feels. You hear the ‘80s hip-hop style, ‘80s R&B and rock combined with what's going on now. That’s creating something new, in my opinion.”

KidKabul, Ben und Audio88 sind WIR. Und das bedeutet einen Ausflug in das wilde Grenzland zwischen Elektronica und Hip Hop, aufreibendes Gefühlskino inmitten von harscher Gegenwart und traumhafter Erregung, dort wo sich Sinn und
Irrsinn im Dunkeln verlieren.
Erstmalig 2006 über Himalaya Pop erschienen und nach 7 Jahren nun endlich neu gemastert auf Vinyl erhältlich.

J Dilla aka Jay Dee
Rebirth Of Detroit Instrumentals
2LP (Ruff Draft)
Following the success of 2012’s posthumous Rebirth of Detroit CD, the official estate of J Dilla is proud to present Rebirth of Detroit instrumentals. The new album distills Rebirth of Detroit’s 21 tracks to a lean 12 beats, never before pressed to vinyl, spanning Dilla’s career from Slum Village to Donuts. Containing only carefully sequenced, cherry-picked tracks that span over a decade of work, Rebirth of Detroit Instrumentals serves both as a comprehensive overview of Dilla’s style and as a testament to its profound influence on contemporary producers. The single LP, packaged with entirely new artwork, offers a rare insight into the mind of an artist who has come to define not only Motor City rap but the entirety of hip-hop from the 90’s to today.

Audio88
Wer Schweigt, Gibt Recht.
2LP (Analog Alpha / hhv.de)
Das erste und bisher einzige Solo-Album von Audio88. Erstmalig 2007 über Himalaya Pop auf CD erschienen und nun endlich auf Vinyl erhältlich. Sowohl textlich als auch musikalisch damals noch wesentlich sperriger, eigener und düsterer als die vertonten Sauftouren mit Yassin oder "Die Erde ist eine Scheide EP", aber natürlich ebenso hörenswert. Die Beats kamen damals noch eher aus der Left-Field Ecke unter anderem von Bit-Tuner, Misanthrop, Maki, Scott Da Ros, Mattr und anderen. 6 Jahre später bekam das Album nun ein
neues Artwork und wurde neu gemastert. Und als besonderes Schmankerl kommt die 2LP mit bedruckten Sleeves, auf denen man die Texte mitlesen und mitgrölen kann. Wer schweigt, gibt Recht.

He has laced beats for Miles Bonny, Oddisse, Kissey Asplund and Flo Mega but the beat daddy is really at home with his solo joints. Baaaaaaackinstock!

Kenya Special
Selected East African Recordings From The 1970s & '80s
3LP+7" (Soundway)
Soundway Records present Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s & ‘80s - a treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings from East Africa. Spread out over two CDs and one triple LP, Kenya Special is accompanied by detailed liner notes, original artwork and photographs.
It follows on from Soundway’s much acclaimed African ‘Special’ series that to date has focused on the highlife and afrobeat output from 1970s Nigeria and Ghana. Kenya Special is a collection of 32 recordings (most of which were only ever released on small-run 45rpm 7" singles) that stand out as being different or unique as well as some classic genre standards. From Kikuyu language ‘liquid soul’, Luo benga and Swahili afrobeat to genre-bending Congolese and Tanzanian tracks recorded in Nairobi, Kenya Special sees Soundway yet again taking the less trodden path. Many of the tracks featured here are peppered with innovation and experimentation highlighting how diverse the music scene in Kenya was at the time.
In 1970s Kenya the two threads of rumba and benga loosely dominated the music scene. Benga quickly became Kenya’s unique contribution to afro-pop; spreading like wildfire through the interior countryside with it’s fast, 4/4 machine-gun beat and intricate electric guitar layers. The Congolese take on Afro-Cuban rumba was introduced by touring bands many of whom settled in East Africa - influencing bands from Kenya and Tanzania to come up with their own take on this popular style. Alongside these styles were small ensembles and hotel-sponsored bands, playing a blend of music that often included rock ‘n’ roll riffs, elements of ‘afro’ music (influenced by West African musicians like Fela Kuti), and multiple other combinations from South African and Zambian guitar styles to disco, funk and Swahili coastal rhythms like chakacha.
Painstakingly compiled, assembled and researched over two years by a team of five people from five countries (Kenya included), Kenya Special is a collection that looks beyond the mainstream and brings new life and recognition to some little known gems and forgotten classics of Kenya’s past.
