A masterpiece of jazz rock by true master Jiro Inagaki.
Beyond jazz rock.
What Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, ultimately arrived at was a tight, cool, and ultimate groove.

As Inagaki himself has stated that he “played black funk” on this album, the explosive jazz-rock foundation he had cultivated up to that point is fused with the stickiness, elasticity, and physicality of black music—elevating his musical vision to an entirely new dimension. Combined with the masterful arrangements of Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove is polished to a high sheen, growing richer, more fluid, and subtly seductive.
Every track stands out: the vibrant, driving energy of “Painted Paradise”; the coexistence of funkiness and mellowness on “Breeze”; and the low-slung, razor-sharp cover of Kool & The Gang’s “Funky Stuff”.
Now regarded as a definitive classic, this album remains in constant demand from listeners around the world.
Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY)

Freudian is the debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar, originally released on August 25, 2017, through his independent label Golden Child Recordings. Widely regarded as his breakthrough project, the album established Caesar as one of the leading voices in contemporary R&B by blending neo-soul, gospel, jazz, and alternative R&B with deeply personal songwriting. Inspired by the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud, Freudian explores the complexities of love, intimacy, vulnerability, faith, and self-discovery, presenting relationships as both emotionally transformative and deeply flawed.

Created over several years following the release of his early EPs, Freudian reflects Daniel Caesar's experiences with romance, spirituality, and personal growth. Raised in a deeply religious household, Caesar often writes about the tension between sacred and secular love, weaving biblical imagery together with honest reflections on desire, commitment, and emotional uncertainty. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the album unfolds as a series of intimate conversations that examine the many stages of a relationship—from infatuation and devotion to conflict, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Musically, Freudian is defined by warm, organic production built around live instrumentation, soulful harmonies, gospel-inspired vocal arrangements, and understated R&B grooves. Longtime collaborators Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett played a central role in shaping the album's sound, which draws influence from classic soul, jazz, folk, and contemporary R&B while remaining minimalist and emotionally driven. The result is a timeless record that places Caesar's expressive vocals and introspective lyrics at the forefront.

The album features guest appearances from H.E.R., Kali Uchis, Syd, Charlotte Day Wilson, and fellow Toronto artist Sean Leon. Standout tracks include "Get You" featuring Kali Uchis, which became Daniel Caesar's first major international hit and introduced his music to a global audience. Other highlights include "Best Part" featuring H.E.R., an intimate acoustic duet that won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance in 2019, as well as fan favorites such as "Japanese Denim," "Blessed," "We Find Love," "Transform," and the closing track "Freudian." Each song contributes to the album's overarching themes of emotional honesty, devotion, and personal reflection.

Upon its release, Freudian received widespread critical acclaim for its songwriting, vocal performances, and cohesive artistic vision. The album earned Daniel Caesar two Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Album, while "Best Part" secured his first Grammy win. It also helped redefine contemporary R&B by reintroducing live instrumentation and gospel influences into a genre increasingly dominated by electronic production. Today, Freudian is considered one of the defining R&B albums of the late 2010s and remains Daniel Caesar's most influential work, praised for its emotional depth, timeless sound, and lasting impact on modern soul music.

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

After the acclaimed Bar Mediterraneo, Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina return with People Of The Moon, expanding their sound into a space of creative freedom. The “People of the Moon” are not fictional, but a dimension within us all: a deeply personal yet universal force, an alternative mindset that emerges when freed from social constraints.

Under moonlight, the album explores anxieties and aspirations through groove and rhythm, expressed in Neapolitan, Arabic, English, Spanish, and Portuguese. It moves fluidly from Afro-Cuban influences in “Celavì” to Anatolian textures in “Ma Tu Che Bbuò”, blending highlife guitars with Nu Genea’s signature mandolins-new rhythms filtered through an Italian lens.

The first single “Sciallà” (2025) introduced this direction: dance as catharsis, not escape. The title track reflects a quiet resilience-persistent rather than triumphant. “Onenon”, featuring Tom Misch, channels Mediterranean brit-funk, while “Acelera”, with María José Llergo, evokes a flamenco-tinged pursuit of the unattainable.

“Puleza” recalls Nuova Napoli with driving energy and vintage synths, while “Shway Shway”, sung by Celinatique, captures the album’s orbital flow-measured, rich, and rhythmically complex, echoing afrobeat explorations with Tony Allen.

Melody remains central, as in “Carè”. Across ten tracks, falling, flying, and dancing merge in a suspended groove. Gabriel Prado’s “Ondas Do Mar” embodies this pull: a cyclical motion, like the tides—irresistible, transformative, and alive within us.

Limited edition of 300 copies on khaki vinyl, available exclusively at HHV.

The double LP "Here Because Of Hope HHV Exclusive Khaki Vinyl Edition," released on Partisan, presents Ezra Collective in an expansive, conceptual framework that weaves traditional jazz forms together with Afrobeat, funk, and Caribbean rhythms. The album focuses on clear arrangements and production clarity that bring out the ensemble’s vibrant sound and allow the tracks to be heard as a cohesive whole.

Characteristic for Ezra Collective is the collaborative working process and interplay of the five-piece lineup: distinctive horn lines meet precise grooves, warm keyboard tones, and a rhythmic foundation that allows for both improvisational freedom and tight cohesion. This interplay between arrangement and spontaneous energy defines the character of the recordings and underscores the band’s roots in London’s vibrant jazz scene.

Key features of the release include the integration of guest vocalists and spoken passages that structure the album thematically and address questions of diaspora, community, and hope; announced contributions include Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and Libianca, among others. In this way, the edition promises to broaden the band’s existing palette by incorporating vocal elements and spoken word into their instrumental fabric.

The “Take Me With You” 7" by Lyn Christopher and Tyrone & Carr is released as a split single on Dynamite Cuts, bringing together two recordings of the same soul classic. Lyn Christopher’s A-side is based on the original American version from 1973, whose deep bassline and smooth groove form the core of the track. Her distinctive voice gives the song a sensual yet powerful presence. “Take Me With You” is one of the best-known recordings in Christopher’s catalog and was later sampled by hip-hop artists as well.

The B-side features the British version by Tyrone & Carr, which was released the same year on Jam Records, an imprint of DJM. The 7" thus places two contemporary takes on the song side by side, highlighting its character from different perspectives. Dynamite Cuts’ release brings both versions together in an official compilation and presents them in the classic 7" format with the corresponding cover artwork. Through its 7" releases, Dynamite Cuts focuses on selected funk, soul, and rare groove recordings, bringing them back in faithful miniature sleeves.

A modern masterpiece of Japanese spiritual jazz and modal jazz, "Fukushima" quickly became a sensation among jazz fans around the world. The 2020 live recording "Informel," which served as its prototype, has been reconstructed and remastered for its first-ever release on analog format.

Based in Tokyo, saxophone and flute player Shinsuke Fujieda's group recorded the live album "informel" in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the album originally released in 2021. Originally an ambitious 2CD + DVD set, this landmark work has been reconstructed from a contemporary perspective, remastered, and now released on vinyl in a deluxe edition. Following the excitement of "Fukushima," a contemporary Japanese spiritual jazz and modal jazz studio recording released in 2025 that quickly drew attention from jazz fans around the world, this album captures the historic moment that gave rise to "Fukushima."

Featuring live painting performed simultaneously with the music throughout the concert, this approximately 73-minute epic is packed with performances that capture the energy, depth, and emotion unique to a live setting. From the visceral, almost primal modal jazz of "Fukushima," performed here for the first time, to the approximately 19-minute tour de force "Gentle Erosion," the gradually intensifying "Informel," driven by a looping rhythm, the classical-leaning "Nobody Knows," where light string textures intertwine with soprano saxophone and piano, and the buoyant "Parade," the album is filled with the dynamic vitality of a live performance. Listening to the sound, one can feel that the prototype of "Fukushima" had already taken shape at this point. The reconstructed version of "informel" created specifically for this vinyl release reveals that it is not simply a prototype or straightforward reissue, but rather the starting point of a swirling mass of sound within the larger musical lineage Shinsuke Fujieda Group has developed since the Covid-19 pandemic. While "Fukushima" is a meticulously crafted studio recording, "informel" forms its counterpart with the dynamic, ever-moving sound that can only emerge from a live performance.

3nd pressing with new OBI.

A new classic of contemporary Japanese spiritual/modal jazz is born.
Here unfolds a stunning soundscape painted with overflowing emotion and a quiet, powerful inner energy.
“Fukushima,” the new album by Tokyo-based saxophonist and flutist SINSUKE FUJIEDA and his group, is simply remarkable.
Performed by a first-rate sextet active across different scenes, the music recalls the cool, deeply atmospheric sound of 1970s modal and spiritual jazz, while weaving in subtle elements of classical, world, and East Asian musical traditions.
The modal jazz piece “Fukushima (edit)” is led by flowing, luminous piano phrases;
“Float in Oriental Spring (edit)” evokes an oriental beauty with a faintly sensual glow;
“Silent Night (edit)” stands out with its tight rhythm and supple bass-driven groove;
the classical-leaning “Nobody Knows (edit)” blends elegant strings with soprano saxophone in a gorgeous interplay;
and “Perspective” unfolds as a sharp-edged spiritual jazz tune propelled by vivid percussion.
With instantly memorable melodies, a cool and coherent musical vision, and masterful arrangements and performances, this album is a true gem.

The exciting new quartet of Berlin and London’s most creative improvisers delivers a debut EP portunes that luxuriates in the spacious rural landscape in which it was created and the intuitive freedom found between a first-time meeting of musicians. “This project is the record of four of us coming together and delving into emotions and atmospherics without a clear goal,” al.so keyboardist Moses Yoofee says. “We were exploring space rather than locking anything into a rhythmic or grid structure. All of it is the product of being in the same room together, being free to follow where the music takes us.” First brought together as part of a curated opening lineup for the 2022 edition of Berlin’s Xjazz Festival, al.so is German Jazz Prize-winning co-founder of the Moses Yoofee Trio, Moses Yoofee, harpist, Floating Pointscollaborator and co-founder of jazz trio Flur, Miriam Adefris, Berlin saxophonist and member of underground collective Sonic Interventions, Marius Max, and modular synthesiser expert and collaborator with Philip Glass and Patti Smith, Robert Henriques.

On "Ahmad Jamal '73," one of jazz's most acclaimed small-group pianists traded in his most familiar instrument for something with a new spin, recording his first of seven studio works for the 20th Century label from behind the electric piano. Backed by an expanded orchestra arranged and conducted by album co-producer Richard Evans, the ensuing album merges familiar jazz traditions with the sound of a new era, pairing Jamal's leads with massive string, vocal, and horn arrangements on versions of then-current soul-funk hits (Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," War's "The World is a Ghetto") and spiritual jazz and funk numbers ("Sustah, Sustah," "Peace At Last").

CASE STUDY 01 is the second studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar, released on June 28, 2019, through his independent label Golden Child Recordings. Following the critical and commercial success of Freudian (2017), the album represents a significant artistic evolution, expanding both Caesar's sound and lyrical scope. While Freudian focused primarily on love, relationships, and spirituality, CASE STUDY 01 turns inward, exploring themes of identity, fame, philosophy, mortality, and the search for meaning. Blending contemporary R&B, neo-soul, gospel, psychedelic soul, and alternative R&B, the album showcases a more experimental and introspective approach.

The title CASE STUDY 01 reflects Caesar's intention to examine his own thoughts, emotions, and experiences as though they were part of a personal experiment. The album opens with "Entropy," which features a quote from physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and introduces ideas of chaos, impermanence, and the unpredictable nature of life. Throughout the record, Daniel Caesar combines philosophical reflections with deeply personal songwriting, creating a project that feels more conceptual and exploratory than its predecessor.

Musically, CASE STUDY 01 broadens Caesar's sonic palette. Longtime collaborators Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett returned as producers, alongside contributions from Boi-1da, River Tiber, and The Neptunes. The album blends soulful melodies, jazz-influenced harmonies, gospel-inspired vocals, and atmospheric production with modern R&B textures. Guest appearances from Brandy, Pharrell Williams, John Mayer, Sean Leon, and Jacob Collier add further depth and stylistic diversity to the project.

Among the standout tracks is "Love Again" featuring Brandy, a heartfelt duet about heartbreak and the possibility of reconciliation that later earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance. Other highlights include "Cyanide," which incorporates reggae influences, "Superposition," featuring guitar work by John Mayer, and "Frontal Lobe Muzik," a collaboration with Pharrell Williams that embraces a more experimental sound. Songs such as "Open Up," "Too Deep to Turn Back," and "Are You OK?" further explore vulnerability, emotional healing, and self-reflection.

Upon its release, CASE STUDY 01 received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Daniel Caesar's willingness to push beyond the boundaries of traditional R&B and expand his artistic vision. While some viewed the album as less immediate and cohesive than Freudian, it has since come to be appreciated as an ambitious and deeply personal work. Today, CASE STUDY 01 stands as an important chapter in Daniel Caesar's artistic journey, bridging the gap between the intimate soul of Freudian and the broader, genre-blending approach of his later album Never Enough (2023).

Released on Jazzman, the compilation “Spiritual Jazz 19 - West Coast USA Pt. 2: 70s & 80s” explores the spiritual, modal, and Afrocentric currents that emerged on the U.S. West Coast in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection shines a light on places and labels where alternative, often independent productions flourished, documenting the coexistence of Cool and West Coast aesthetics with a searching, spiritual approach to jazz.

At the core of the release is a programmatic selection of tracks that reflect influences from the counterculture, new religious practices, and the political climate of those years—for example, the Black Panthers. Jazzman situates the compilation within the “Spiritual Jazz” series and emphasizes the role of small labels and local scenes that fostered experimental forms with expanded rhythm and melody. Musically, the contributions range from meditative modal pieces to approaches shaped by gospel and African rhythms.

The edition is released as a double LP, providing room for a wide-ranging sequence that maps out the spectrum of West Coast spiritual jazz production in the 1970s and 1980s. For listeners looking to discover these lesser-known chapters of jazz history, the compilation offers a focused, fact-based overview.

Here comes an incredible Fusion Jazz-Funk discovery on vinyl for the first time. From the vaults of mastermind Günther Fischer came this unreleased outstanding Rare Groove material with breathtaking international high class Jazz from 1974. It bears no comparison with absolute international most wanted sounds from Marc Moulin's Placebo, Masaru Imada´s Green Caterpillar, the german ensemble Catch up, UK´s Nucleus or the US jazz milesstones from Catalyst. It is unbelievable that an East German band played and recorded such fresh modern electrified Jazz at this time. In a perfect modern jazz line-up, Günther Fischer not only plays the Saxophone but also the Synthesizer! Despite the fact that this highly sought-after and therefore mostly fully booked studio and stage band worked with greats such as Manfred Krug, Uschi Brüning and Armin Müller Stahl in the 1970s, these deep and funky inspired "underground jazz" recordings were made and presented to select jazz concertgoers. Günther Fischer and his formation show here that, in addition to the popular Soul Jazz field, they are also in top form in the groovy, electric Avant-Garde Jazz-Rock niche and are playing in the absolute top league. These four tracks are a unique discovery that already belong to the holy grail of Jazz and make Günther Fischer immortal in East German and international Jazz Funk of the 1970s.

Artist Ariana Papademetropoulos provides original artwork for the album’s collection of otherworldly-sounding music.

In addition to composing and producing, Panfilov contributes piano, guitar, lap steel, bass, organ, harmonium, Mellotron, and percussion, shaping the dense soundscape on which solos and arrangements can breathe freely. Ilja Gussarov contributes flute, tenor saxophone, and clarinet, while Volodja Brodsky provides the vibraphone coloring. The rhythm section, with Leonid Galaganov on drums, holds down the groove, and Sasha Petrov adds to the horn section.

Additional voices and textures emerge on select tracks: Anna Dotsenko’s wordless vocal runs add accents, Tomo Katsurada contributes guitar and cello, and Joe Harvey-Whyte plays pedal steel on one of the tracks. Titles such as “When I See You (It Feels Wonderful)” and “Guided by the Wind” showcase Panfilov’s feel for melodic motifs and sparse yet colorful arrangements. The album was recorded between January and April 2026, with mastering handled by Jukka Sarapää. The cover artwork is by Nathan Hardyman, while the layout was designed by Ilja Tulit. On Funk Night, *Where The Birds Fly* stands as a restrainedly produced instrumental release that documents Misha Panfilov’s affinity for repeating patterns and subtle, organic sound design.

The “Live at Real World Studios” LP by Alfa Mist is being released on Sekito and showcases the studio session the artist recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. With this release, Sekito is making available a performance that was initially viewable exclusively on YouTube but is now officially presented as an album; the format documents live-in-the-studio takes on pieces from the concept album “Roulette,” emphasizing direct interaction rather than studio perfection.

On a musical level, Alfa Mist strips back the arrangements without abandoning the narrative threads of his compositions: familiar melodies open up into extended improvisations, rhythmic shifts remain organic and create space for solo passages. The band is made up of long-standing collaborators — Kaya Thomas-Dyke on bass, Jamie Houghton on drums, Jamie Leeming on guitar, Johnny Woodham (JSPHYNX) on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Samuel Rapley on saxophone and bass clarinet — and, taking advantage of the way sound unfolds in the studio, they create a dense yet airy atmosphere. Sekito has assembled the session including two alternative takes (among them “Found You” and “Roulette”), so that the “Live at Real World Studios” LP traces both Alfa Mist’s conceptual depth and his band’s spontaneity. For listeners who want to immerse themselves more deeply in the world of “Roulette,” this Sekito release offers a focused, directly performed companion to the studio album.

Lush green landscapes, dazzling clear streams, a crystalline sky, and snow that falls without a sound—
these are the beautiful scenes woven into Scenery, created by Ryo Fukui, the renowned pianist born in Hokkaido. Here, they live on forever.

His fresh, delicate playing has captivated countless listeners, and his debut album Scenery has come to be highly acclaimed around the world. Fukui, who began playing the piano at the age of 22, recorded this album when he was just 28. The earnest passion of his youth resonates throughout the music, gently stirring the emotions of those who listen. The spacious, confident swing of “It Could Happen To You”, the refreshing joy radiating from “Early Summer”, the late autumn coolness imbued in the title track “Scenery” each embodies the uniquely expansive yet nuanced “Hokkaido sensibility” that flowed naturally from Fukui’s artistry.
Within this album, the beautiful landscapes that Ryo Fukui crafted his Scenery continue to breathe eternally.

The compilation “Soundcity Joburg - South Africa's Township Soul” is released by Analog Africa as a double LP in a gatefold sleeve. It focuses on Johannesburg’s township soul scene between 1969 and 1981, when South African musicians combined influences from American soul and funk with local rhythms, jazz, reggae, disco and Afrobeat.

The 22 tracks demonstrate how distinctive this musical language became in the townships. Beat Set opens and closes the compilation with “I Dig Soul,” while Dudu And The Big Time Boys bridge the gap between soul groove and danceable rhythms on “How Long?” and “Can You Feel It.” “Take It” by Philemon Hamole And Abafana Besimanje, “Crazy Baby” by Phillip Mallela With J.B. Express and “Swing Africa” by Reggie Msomi & His Jazz Africa are also among the defining moments of this selection.

Analog Africa connects the music with the history of its creation and supplements the double LP with a 16-page, magazine-style booklet. It features rare photographs, historical newspaper clippings, biographies and other archival materials. The editorial work was produced with the participation of Volkan Kaya, Samy Ben Redjeb and Sam Mathe; Michael Graves handled the mastering, while Jordan McLeod was responsible for the restoration. In this way, “Soundcity Joburg - South Africa's Township Soul” paints a multifaceted portrait of that South African sound world, which developed its own distinct form from international influences and local traditions.

A close look at the full scope of Masayoshi Takanaka’s legendary concert "rainbow Goblins Story"! This release captures the legendary two-day concert held at Nippon Budokan on March 10 and 11, 1981, the very day and the day after the release of Masayoshi Takanaka’s masterpiece "The Rainbow Goblins." The first part recreates on stage the concept album "The Rainbow Goblins," which Takanaka created based on the inspiration he drew from Italian painter Ul de Rico’s picture book "The Rainbow Goblins," while the second part is made up of Masayoshi Takanaka’s hit songs. Now, for the first time, that full performance sees the light of day as a single audio work.

A huge rainbow neon arch stretched across the stage, with its seven colors lighting up in various patterns in sync with the music. Combined with what was then a state-of-the-art laser show and a mountain-like stack of equipment onstage, it created a fantastical world. The seven musicians appeared wearing costumes in different goblin image colors, while Takanaka, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit with rainbow-colored hair, played a rainbow-colored Yamaha SG. The world of "The Rainbow Goblins" that Masayoshi Takanaka, already at the peak of his popularity as one of Japan’s leading guitarists, brought to life onstage returns now, on its 45th anniversary, with vivid sound. The analog edition consists of three LPs in clear lime yellow, clear red, and clear blue, evoking both the three primary colors of light and the colors of the rainbow Yamaha SG Takanaka played in the first part of the concert. It also comes with a booklet packed with photographs capturing this fantastical stage production created with the latest technology of the time. Mastering and analog cutting were handled by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios London. Liner notes are by Masayoshi Kondo and Yoshinobu Maruyama.

The “At Night” 12-inch by Shakedown is released on Defected and brings together the original version, selected remixes, and the sought-after a cappella version that DJs and producers alike value. The compilation highlights the different facets of the piece and offers both the club-ready main versions and reworks that have proven themselves as tools in DJ sets.

With “At Night,” Shakedown achieves a combination of a hypnotic vocal hook and a subtly propulsive groove that has kept the song in record bags for years. Terra Deva’s voice forms the melodic core and gives the track a timeless quality; the production is designed so that it works equally well in a festival peak-time set and in a late-night club setting.

The selection of remixes underlines the stylistic range: Purple Disco Machine gives the track a funky disco-house sheen, Peggy Gou delivers biting 303 lines with her “Acid Journey” take, and Kid Crème’s club mix focuses on direct dancefloor impact and DJ-friendliness. This reissue makes it easier to play the different DJ takes side by side and shows why “At Night” remains relevant as a modern house classic.

Repressed due to heaaaaaaaaaavy demand!

In TRAFO, Opek connects his cinematic visions to his love for jazz music, creating a dark and cloudy deep groove soundscape, filled with hallucinations and slivers of time travel. The mostly instrumental album scratches different genres, including spiritual jazz, rare groove, and of course library and 70s film music.

Recorded live in his Cologne studio by a five piece band, Opek pays homage to influences like Wayne Shorter, Soft Machine, David Axelrod and Marc Moulin’s Placebo. The recording setting gives the album tension and vividness on one hand, intimacy and warmth on the other.

The compositions transform old memories into melodies and strive to translate recurrent observations into sound. On TRAFO Opek plays the drums and is accompanied by Caris Hermes on double bass, Elisabeth Waanders on Fender Rhodes, Julius van Rhee on saxophone and Jonathan Böbel on trombone.

Typical Opek-esk sounds make the album a krautjazz experience and let elements of nightly madness dissolve into stimulating curiosity.

Official version manufactured and distributed by Secondtrack.

Pilgrim's Paradise is Daniel Caesar's second EP, released independently on November 12, 2015. While Freudian (2017) became his commercial breakthrough, Pilgrim's Paradise is widely considered the project that established his artistic identity. Blending contemporary R&B, neo-soul, gospel, folk, and jazz influences, the seven-track EP introduced the intimate songwriting, spiritual themes, and emotionally rich vocal performances that would later define his career.

The EP was created during a formative period in Caesar's life as he reflected on faith, love, identity, and personal growth. Growing up in a deeply religious household, he often found himself navigating the tension between spirituality and human desire, a theme that runs throughout the project. Rather than presenting straightforward love songs, Pilgrim's Paradise explores vulnerability, loneliness, redemption, and the search for inner peace. Its title reflects the idea of life as a spiritual journey, with "pilgrimage" serving as a metaphor for self-discovery and emotional healing.

Musically, the EP is understated and organic. Built around warm piano, subtle guitar arrangements, sparse percussion, and layered harmonies, the production creates an intimate atmosphere that allows Caesar's expressive vocals to take center stage. Frequent collaborators Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans helped shape the project's sound, while Toronto jazz collective BADBADNOTGOOD appears on "Paradise" alongside Sean Leon, adding a richer instrumental texture.

Among the standout tracks, "Death & Taxes" examines the inevitability of hardship and the desire for purpose, while "Paradise" reflects on the tension between temptation and salvation. "Streetcar," a reimagining of Kanye West's "Street Lights" from 808s & Heartbreak, has become one of Caesar's most beloved songs, transforming the original into a soulful, acoustic meditation on change, loss, and acceptance. The EP closes with "Little Rowboat," a gentle and hopeful conclusion that reinforces the themes of perseverance and emotional resilience.

Although Pilgrim's Paradise was released independently and received limited mainstream attention at first, it earned widespread critical praise and helped Daniel Caesar build a devoted following through word of mouth and streaming platforms. The project was longlisted for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize, and songs such as "Streetcar" and "Paradise" remain fan favorites. More importantly, the EP laid the artistic foundation for Freudian, which would propel Caesar to international recognition two years later.

Limited edition of 200 copies on cherry red colored vinyl, available exclusively at HHV.

The “Sweets” LP by The Winston Brothers is released on Colemine and consistently continues the horn-driven, ’70s-inspired soul aesthetic of the band. Led by multi-instrumentalist and producer Sebastian Nagel and longtime drummer Lucas Kochbeck, a tight, groove-oriented album emerges that openly plays with soundtrack references and deliberately draws on Isaac Hayes, Willie Hutch, Roy Ayers, and J.J. Johnson.

Recorded between the home studios Monoplast and Lion Sound, “Sweets” bears the marks of a carefully considered creation process: during the pandemic, about 80 percent of the drum tracks were laid down before the arrangements were opened up and additional musicians were brought in. Kimo Eiserbeck (saxophone, flute) and Hans Stephan (trumpet) expand the horn section, while Max Whitefield contributes additional drum parts; this gives the tracks organic voices, space, and colorful accents.

Style-wise, the album ranges from driving, “Get On Down”-like workout numbers to the tropically swaying pulses of “Bouncie Meters” and the atmospheric build in “Kitchen Floor.” The “Sweets” LP thus documents an evolution of the group, in which band interplay and freedom in the arrangements come together in equal measure.

Limited edition of 300 copies on grey marbled vinyl, available exclusively at HHV.

The “Drift” LP by Noah X Petter is released on the Berlin label Leiter and marks the debut of the duo of bassist and producer Petter Eldh and drummer Noah Fürbringer. Six short compositions, each just under three minutes long, work with sampling, improvisational moments, and studio-focused reduction; as a result, the album develops the punch of a mixtape aesthetic without sacrificing compositional density. Musically, “Drift” moves between jazz and fusion, weaving in pointed hip-hop impulses and electronic textures into precise grooves.

Production and performance are handled entirely by Fürbringer and Eldh; all tracks are written, performed, and produced by the two of them. On “DEEP NOTE,” Talib Kweli appears as a guest with a freestyle verse, a clear highlight of the record. Recording took place at Koma Industries; mixing was done by oh.no.ty, mastering by Zino Mikorey, and the vinyl cut by Andreas Kauffelt. The artwork features a photograph by Manic Cinema, and the layout was designed by Studio Torsten Posselt. “Drift” offers on the Leiter label a compact, precisely crafted introduction to the Noah X Petter project, translating the intersection of jazz, beat culture, and electronic sound work into small, focused forms.

The 12-inch single Breakin' Out / Girl So Fine by Highscore brings together two previously unreleased tracks from the mid-1980s that were rediscovered on cassette decades later and prepared for release on vinyl. Both tracks show a clear focus on electro funk and boogie: driving drum machine grooves, bright synthesizer arpeggios, and distinctive guitar lines meet soulfully sung choruses, giving the songs a sound that is both danceable and densely arranged. The tracks were produced by Highscore; restoration, post-mix, and mastering were handled by Zoey Cairns, and the vinyl was cut by Frederic Stader.

Highscore is made up of musicians from the circle surrounding the Bremerhaven jazz-rock band Nuages: John Dillard (lead vocals, keyboards), Hermann Behrens (guitar, bass), and Mike Bach (keyboards, drums, percussion). The compositions are by Bach, Behrens, and Dillard; on Girl So Fine, guest vocalist Anka Gretner adds her voice to the mix. The story of the discovery—through the label’s research and the unearthing of cassette tapes—is part of the reissue production overseen by DJ Scientist.

This reissue, limited to 400 copies, comes in a newly designed picture sleeve featuring an original photo of the musicians involved, which also alludes to companions who did not perform on these two tracks. The release documents a previously little-known chapter of German funk production from the 1980s and offers both collectors and style-conscious listeners a carefully restored piece of musical history.

The “Darkest Light” 7-inch by Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, released on Strut, brings two essential tracks by the influential group together on a single for the first time. At the center is “Darkest Light,” whose distinctive opening with saxophone and horns became a defining motif in hip-hop history. The track originally appeared on the album “Malik” and was sampled by artists including Jay-Z, Public Enemy and Wreckx-N-Effect.

On the flip side is “Hihache,” a key track from “Soul Makossa.” Its expansive drum break became an important foundation of the burgeoning hip-hop culture in the 1980s and is particularly well known from Biz Markie’s “Nobody Beats The Biz.” Both recordings showcase the rhythmic precision and hard-hitting Afro-funk that first brought Lafayette Afro-Rock Band attention in Paris during the 1970s.

“Darkest Light” thus brings together two distinct classics: The title track is driven by its instantly recognizable horn figure, while “Hihache” is defined by its distinctive drum break. On this 7-inch, Strut pairs two particularly influential contributions from Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s repertoire, recordings that remain closely connected to the development of sample-based hip-hop production.

Celestial Echo puts the focus on the single itself, making the track’s original energy available once again with this edition, without foregrounding any additional edition text.

The 7-inch “If I Let You” by The Womack Sisters was released on Daptone and presents the single in the classic 45 rpm format; the A-side features the vocal-led version, while the B-side contains the instrumental version. The release follows the three sisters’ self-titled debut and puts their warm vocal harmonies front and center.

Musically, “If I Let You” is built around a Latin-tinged soul groove: percussive güiro figures, a driving organ motif, and precise drumming form the backbone, while the sisters harmonize in a cool call-and-response style. The arranged horn and rhythm structure gives the track a danceable lightness while leaving room for delicate vocal flourishes. The instrumental version lays bare the rhythmic structure and emphasizes the tightly arranged groove elements of the production.

Bosco Mann serves as producer and is also credited as a songwriter alongside the Womack sisters; the compositions thus bring together the name and producer signature of the Daptone community. The Womack Sisters—Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack—consolidate their approach to contemporary retro soul with “If I Let You”: the 7-inch is both a physical collector’s item and part of the digital offering available on Bandcamp and streaming services.

The “Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three)” LP by Jon Hassell was released on Ndeya and forms the third part of the Pentimento trilogy. Recorded on May 23, 2015, at St John at Hackney Church in London during Hassell’s final live concert, the release documents the joint performance with Rick Cox and John von Seggern.

Themes, motifs, and striking riffs from Hassell’s previous albums “Listening To Pictures” and “Seeing Through Sound” run through the recordings and are reshaped in semi-improvised variations. The pieces balance composed passages and freer development, with the chamber-like spatial acoustics of the church recording contributing to the sonic architecture. Jon Hassell and his long-time companion Jeff Rona carefully mixed and edited the material. Their mix preserves the performance’s dynamics and brings improvisational details clearly to the fore.

As an LP on Ndeya, “Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three)” sits stylistically in the realm of jazz/fusion and concludes the renaissance of the Pentimento series in the late phase of Hassell’s career. The release focuses on the development of his final works and gathers thematically related approaches into a concentrated live document. It presents the thematic threads of his late albums as focused live takes on them.

The “Gentlewoman” LP by Cleo Sol is released on Forever Living Originals and presents the singer with a new, tightly focused song cycle positioned between funk and soul. Across fifteen tracks—including the opening piano ballad “I Just Look To You,” the title track “Gentlewoman,” and the closing “Gentlewoman (Acknowledgement)”—Cleo Sol introduces a deeply personal perspective that centers on self-care, forgiveness, and spiritual reflection. The production was created in close collaboration with Inflo, whose arranging gives the album dense string textures, choral backdrops, and finely detailed instrumentation.

Musically, “Gentlewoman” ranges from stripped-back piano and acoustic moments to more opulent soul passages; touches of bongos and Latin inflections, as well as harp and string sections, create a palette of contrasting tones. Cleo Sol’s voice remains the constant focal point: restrained, nuanced, and clearly articulated, allowing intimate lyrics about healing and gratitude to breathe. Songs such as “Their Smiles Are Not The Same” and “All Because Of Love” also demonstrate how subtle shifts in the arrangements build into expressive climaxes.

The “Gentlewoman” LP on Forever Living Originals expands Cleo Sol’s already extensive solo work and documents a further stage in the evolution of her compositional voice. It is her fifth solo album. The uncluttered arrangements and focused production give the record an intimate yet orchestral character. The album was released on August 20, 2026.

The 12" “La Truffe Galactique” by Black Truffle on G.A.M.M. explores the spectrum between spaced-out European disco, proto-disco, and jazz disco. The release brings together four tracks that vary in tempo and mood: from floating, cosmic passages to mid-tempo groove formats that leave room for subtle melodic twists. The focus is on elegant arrangements that connect disco traditions with slightly offset, jazzy harmonies.

Black Truffle is known for offering new takes on established dance music traditions and for combining edit techniques with a fine sense of balance between nostalgia and contemporary treatment. On “La Truffe Galactique,” these qualities come to the fore: rhythmic precision meets restrained yet impactful sonic details, making the tracks suitable both for club use and for listening at home. The pieces rely on open spaces and carefully shaped dynamic arcs rather than sheer loudness.

A defining feature of this release is the mastering: Lay-Far transferred the recordings to reel-to-reel tape to achieve a warm, analog sonic character. This gives the music more organic depth and tonal refinement, effectively showcasing the stylistic range of Black Truffle on G.A.M.M.

The cream vinyl edition of the Archives LP by Vanishing Twin is released on Fire. This edition brings together nine pieces conceived as a collage of song fragments, rhythmic experiments, and atmospheric interludes, presenting the trio’s material in a compact form.

Vanishing Twin are a London-based collective centered around vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, joined by drummer Valentina Magaletti and bassist/producer Susumu Mukai. Their style sits at the intersection of psychedelic pop, cosmic leanings, and minimal song structures, with foreign elements such as library music references and post-punk aesthetics shaping the overall sound.

The tracks emerge from a process-based approach: repeated collecting, reordering, and reconnecting of sessions results in overtly collaborative arrangements and richly textured sonic spaces. Magaletti’s metronomic patterns and Mukai’s bass-driven foundations form the framework on which Lucas’s playful song ideas and vocal melodies unfold.

Tracks like “Life By The Hand” and the title track “Archives” highlight the tension between accessible melodicism and a subtle appetite for experimentation; the cream pressing underscores this appeal as a physical object and brings the fine nuances of the arrangements onto vinyl. The release continues the project’s steady evolution.

The “Occasional Rain” LP by Terry Callier, released on Slow Down Sounds, puts the striking interplay between singer-songwriter sensibility and soulful rhythm clearly at the forefront. Charles Stepney is responsible for production, harpsichord, and organ; the arrangements rely on subtle, sometimes suite-like transitions and are carried by contributions from bassist Sydney Simms, pianist Lennie Pirani, and drummer Rob Crowder. Shirley Wahls, Kitty Haywood, and Minnie Riperton augment Callier’s lead with precise background vocals that add extra layers to the vocal lines.

Musically, “Occasional Rain” blends elements of funk and soul with jazzy and folk-inflected nuances; the record uses short segues that structure the album as a cohesive work. Tracks like “Ordinary Joe” and the title song “Occasional Rain” showcase Callier’s warm, narrative voice and Stepney’s dense, often surprising orchestrations. The production emphasizes clear instrumental definition and a dynamic balance between intimate singer-songwriter moments and arranged band performances.

For fans and collectors, the “Occasional Rain” LP by Terry Callier on Slow Down Sounds is an opportunity to experience this early chapter of his collaboration with Charles Stepney in a carefully presented vinyl format; the release highlights both the compositional depth of the pieces and the meticulous detail in the arrangements.

The lilac vinyl edition of the “Thats What Friends Are For / Thats The Way I Like It” 7" by Madeline Bell was released by Dynamite Cuts and brings two strong soul tracks together on 7" vinyl for the first time. Madeline Bell is at the center here; with this release, Dynamite Cuts presents a compact selection from her repertoire that appeals to both collectors and fans of classic funk/soul gems.

Both cuts are taken from her LP “This Is One Girl” and showcase different facets of her voice. “Thats What Friends Are For,” co-written with Alan Parker, appears here as a sensually driven, club‑oriented version with a pronounced Latin swing, propelled by driving percussion and warm horn arrangements. The flip side, “Thats The Way I Like It,” rounds out the release as another soul banger and highlights the quality of the backing band, which featured top‑tier English musicians. For this 7" edition, Dynamite Cuts has reissued both tracks, making them available in a compact single format with clear, refined edition markings.

The "Teodros Makonnen With His Organ" double LP by Teodros Makonnen is released on Muzikawi and marks the first official reissue of this work. The recordings have been carefully restored and remastered and are now available as a gatefold double LP that reproduces the original cover art; the set includes extensive liner notes in English and Amharic as well as previously unpublished photographs from the archive of Teferi “Bibisha” Mengesha.

Musically, the record documents an early, bold use of electronic means in Ethiopian music. The tracks originally existed only on cassette and were recorded live in a single take on a Yamaha dual keyboard in the apartment of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa; the result blends traditional melodies with atmospheric drum-machine patterns and hypnotic organ synthesizers. This experimental approach makes the album a cornerstone of Ethiopia’s early digital sound language.

Teodros Makonnen appears here as keyboardist, arranger, and sound designer; his trajectory spans formal training at the Yared School of Music to long-standing engagements with bands such as Dahlak and the Shebele Ensemble. His role as a pioneer of electronic sequencing in Addis Ababa and his collaborations with major figures like Mulatu Astatke, Aster Aweke, and Mahmoud Ahmed define his profile and explain the special status of this album within the history of Ethiopian music.

"Hijos Del Sol" by Hermanos Gutiérrez is released as an LP on Discos G and brings together ten instrumental pieces that move between concise melodic arcs and more extended atmospheric passages. The selection ranges from compact tracks such as "Railroad Vista" to eponymous arrangements, with the record maintaining a unified dramatic arc and placing instrumental storytelling at the center.

Musically, "Hijos Del Sol" fuses Latin American guitar roots with Western and Southwestern hues; lap‑steel‑like textures, rhythmic percussion, and interwoven guitar lines shape the sound. Characteristic of Hermanos Gutiérrez is the seamless interlocking of two guitar parts that are coordinated melodically and rhythmically to such an extent that lead lines and accompaniment feel inseparable. This combination gives the pieces a narrative quality without relying on vocals.

Behind the project are the brothers Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez, whose biographical background and travel impressions from Mexico and the American Southwest provide essential source material for the compositions. The release has been made available through their own label, Discos G; the brothers are responsible for the arrangements and instrumental realization, giving the record a clear, distinctive artistic signature.

Limited edition of 300 copies on colored vinyl, available exclusively at HHV and MPM. Only 2 copies per customer!

The Twit 1, II, Three are a Cologne-based band made up of producer Twit One, vibraphonist Maxime von Koblinski, and drummer Niklas Schneider (Keshavara). Their first album is being released on Melting Pot Music and features a unique blend of hip-hop, krautrock, tropicalia, spiritual jazz, and ambient.

Twit One has been shaping Cologne’s beat and hip-hop scene for more than 15 years – as a DJ, producer, radio maker, and co-owner of the Groove Attack record store. For Twit, hip-hop is less a genre than an attitude and cultural technique rooted in African American music history. With The Twit 1, II, Three, he’s realizing his sound vision in a band context for the first time, together with classically trained musician Maxime von Koblinski on vibraphone and Niklas Schneider from Cologne kraut-pop band Keshavara on drums. Twit acts as musical director, provides samples and ideas, and sometimes plays bass.

In 2024, The Twit 1, II, Three self-released a C20 cassette limited to 100 copies and played shows at the following venues: Week-End Festival and Soundball Festival (Cologne), Philharmonie Essen, Schleuse Zwei (Düsseldorf), Aktionshaus (Berlin), De Duivel (Amsterdam).

Afterwards they moved into Satori Studio in Cologne-Müngersdorf, where the band spent a year and a half working away on their debut album. The self-titled album will be released in October 2026 and throws the doors wide open: hip-hop, krautrock, tropicalia, spiritual jazz, and ambient form the cornerstones. Twit One, fully produced and played with real instruments, would be the down-to-earth description. Sun Ra & Dilla on their way to Jupiter with a stopover in Montreux would be the more poetic one. 8 out of 10 tracks are instrumental. Guest vocals come from Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Turt (Summers Sons), two longtime musical friends who were invited and who also release on MPM. Artwork by Jeremias Diekmann & Robert Winter.

New and stunning release on Smiling C limited to 500 copies worldwide. Exclusively available through HHV in Europe.

More than four years in the making, Tiki Shack Recording Studios AKA Smiling C Records & Mike Patricola present Pipe Dreams — a compilation of sidewalk surf bands, tropical troubadours, and soothing sounds from just beyond the reef.

Compiled by Mike Patricola, Pipe Dreams is the culmination of years spent exchanging obscure recordings, pursuing a shared feeling, and uncovering a sub-genre of overlooked songs that could be woven into a story of surf, snorkel, and sun. Drawn from Patricola's collection, the compilation aims to capture the feeling of endless summer, and serves as an ode to the freedom of island living: Bikini-shaped sunburns, coconut stands closed due to perfect swells, slack guitars, perpetual sunsets, guppies darting through shallow water, and afternoons spent face-down in the sand.

Spanning the late 1970s through the mid 1980s, Pipe Dreams gathers forgotten pop, lounge, soft rock, AOR, disco, and private-press oddities into a time capsule that seeks to epitomize an era that existed before life became mediated by screens. One in which technology was more naive and society was less reliant upon it. Time moved slower, people were better able to connect with their surroundings, and the dream of moving to a coastal utopia felt more attainable.

Each side unfolds as its own chapter.

Side A begins with Midwestern lettermen The Sunset Kidds, whose hypnagogic harmonies on “Darlin’” evoke the Beach Boys mired in the post-summer doldrums. Australia's Simplex 2 follow with the previously unreleased “Tiger Bay”, capturing the slow pulse of a perfect beach day through low end groove. Don Moore's infectious “Water Lily” arrives via a romantic Fire Island love affair, while Cay Gottlieb contributes a dose of Bahamian Balearica. To close the side out, Tennessee crooner Ron Holmes delivers an extra dose of salt on the margarita rim for good measure.

Side B shifts into a more upbeat surf-disco and pub-rock mode. Montreal’s Dino Pacifici’s nostalgic ode to carefree summers long passed, followed by Marseille's own The Students "Ocean Lifestyle" — which sits somewhere between Shuggie Otis and The Stranglers. Another Montréalais artist Pierre Rochette delivers a chuggy surf-disco belter, while Special Edition Band ventures from boozy rock into a washed-out paradise with glistening guitars.

Side C serves as an ode to tropical troubadours — intimate songs that range from drum machine lounge to private island bedroom recordings. Japan's Twin Cosmos, actual identical twins, dream up beachfront breezes on "Coconuts Wind." Hawaiian songwriter Dennis Soares offers the delicate and deeply personal "One World," while Ossie Parker Jr. supplies some Bahamian barroom sophistication. Miles Corbin brings sounds straight from the tiki hut, and lounge lizard Glen Banks takes us into the final intermission with a lullaby live from the Coconut Grove.

Side D catches a wave back in. Meri-Lynn & The Key Lime Pie Band celebrate the Florida Key life, Dennis Soares returns for one final Hawaiian postcard, and the Latin band Acapulco contribute a hefty dose of sunny positivity akin to one of Brian Wilson’s cheerier tunes. To round it out, Rick Sharp injects a touch of Bossa cheek and fantasy, and British pub blokes Contrast steer the compilation back toward where it all began — a destination somewhere between a Beach Boy California paradise, a remote oceanside lounge for loners, and a sleazy coastal timeshare.

Pressed on vinyl in a deluxe die-cut, spot-glossed gatefold jacket featuring artwork by our man Charles Bals and cover “Breaking Wave” photo by Lex Thompson. Pipe Dreams is designed as both a listening experience and an object of escape. Drop the needle, lean back, and let the tide carry you away.

The “Blue Collar Jazz” LP by Fonville X Fribush is released on WarHen and brings together the core team of drummer Corey Fonville and organist Sam Fribush; guitarist Alan Good Parker appears on the album as a guest, adding extra melodic and textural nuance to the production.

Musically, the release consistently leans on the warm sound of a Hammond B‑3, recorded live at the center of the arrangements, while Fonville’s distinctive grooves and percussive details anchor the timing. The recordings were made in a short span as largely live takes with deliberately minimal post‑production; this live character gives the tracks an open, organic sense of dynamics. Lance Koehler is credited as an engineer on the project.

“Blue Collar Jazz” combines original compositions with reimagined pieces and stays true to its self‑described guiding concept of “blue‑collar jazz”: direct, craft‑driven arrangements, a pronounced R&B influence, and selective guitar colors that at times add lap‑steel‑like accents. The LP presents the organ‑trio format in a contemporary form and emphasizes the joy of playing and narrative solo parts, without putting studio effects front and center.

The "Convention" 12" by Gingerblack, released on Anxiety Therapy, marks an important step for the Berlin label on the occasion of its fifth anniversary: the imprint’s first-ever vinyl release appears as a special EP and brings Gingerblack’s signature sound to vinyl for the first time. The "Convention" EP puts Gingerblack’s deep, soul-infused approach front and center and complements it with two remixes by longtime companions from the Berlin scene.

Musically, "Convention" documents a subtle interplay between disco and boogie elements, with Gingerblack spotlighting melodic work and warm grooves. The versions contributed by Shahrokh Dini and Luna City Express each put their own spin on the material: both remixes open up new perspectives on the originals and function as complementary counterparts that unfold their strengths both on the dance floor and during focused listening. Anxiety Therapy uses this release as an opportunity to sharpen its label identity and to position Gingerblack as a permanent fixture in its program.

The "Convention" 12" thus delivers not only a tangible physical edition, but also a focused presentation of sound aesthetics and collaboration within the Berlin house and disco scene.

Cecil Payne’s “Zodiac” LP is released on Strata East and documents a session recorded in 1968 at TownSound Studios in Englewood, New Jersey, and first released in 1973. Payne is at the center on baritone and alto saxophone, with all compositions written by him. The recording also forms the third installment of Strata-East’s Dolphy Series.

For “Zodiac,” Cecil Payne assembled an all-star quintet: Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Wynton Kelly on piano and organ, Wilbur Ware providing the foundation on bass, and Albert “Tootie” Heath on drums. The session was produced by Clifford Jordan. The music combines Payne’s distinctive, sonorous baritone sound with dynamic ensemble interplay and ample room for extended improvisation.

The album’s material ranges from “Martin Luther King, Jr. I Know Love” and “Girl, You Got a Home” to the more than twelve-minute “Flying Fish.” The release is dedicated to the memory of Wynton Kelly and Kenny Dorham, both of whom died after the recordings were made. With “Zodiac,” Strata East presents a Cecil Payne album released years after its recording that highlights his role as a bandleader and composer as clearly as it showcases his extraordinary presence on baritone saxophone.

The November 20, 1979 recording brings Jimmy Lyons’ distinctive alto saxophone and Ramsey Ameen’s violin to the forefront of an ensemble in which Alan Silva supports on bass and cello and Jerome Cooper adds drums, balafon, shehnai, and flute colors, while Cecil Taylor interweaves piano and percussive elements.

Mr Bongo reissues, in full for the first time, a pioneering Trinidadian steelband album from 1979. Masterminded by the key and highly influential calypso / soca 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.

Over the past two decades, Berlin-based producer Hulk Hodn has quietly cemented himself as a cornerstone of the European beatmaking community. Much of that foundation was built alongside Cologne wordsmith Retrogott. Across a staggering run of a dozen collaborative albums, the duo became the gold standard for independent, sample-heavy hip-hop and German rap. Hodn’s dusty soundscapes and unquantized, head-nodding grooves have always spoken for themselves, a testament to physical music culture, no fleeting digital hype. Now, Sichtexot Records is proud to announce his latest full-length album, a project that honors those deep boom-bap roots while pushing his sound into expansive new territories.

Stepping away from the traditional, isolated beatmaker paradigm, the new LP is the culmination of Zahlbach Publishing songwriting camps held in Limoux, France, throughout 2023 and 2024. Hulk Hodn has crafted what is arguably his most versatile and creative project to date. The record moves between raw, foundational hip-hop, warm neo-soul, wonky instrumental beats, and progressive rap.

To bring this vision to life, Hodn assembled a striking cast of collaborators. The vocal roster spans the globe, featuring Paris’ own Ichon, New York based rap visionary ovrkast., UK vocalists Raelle and Lex Amour, and Madrid lofi-rap standout Cráneo. He is equally matched on the production and instrumentation side, trading ideas with a heavyweight lineup of peers including FloFilz, Wun Two, Gabiga, Matt Wilde, Greedo, Teo and halfpastseven.

The new album will be released on September 4th, 2026, via Sichtexot Records. It will be available across all digital platforms and as a limited-edition vinyl pressing.

"Carolina, Carol Bela" by DJ Koco Aka Shimokita feat. Q.A.S.B. is available as a 7" on Bloom Music (BLMS-023) and combines DJ Koco’s DJ expertise with the soulful band sound of Q.A.S.B. The single presents itself as a compact, vinyl-focused edition that deliberately brings out the track’s grooves and melodic motifs.

DJ Koco Aka Shimokita is known for his love of 7" pressings and his precise work with 45 rpm material; his style is characterized by careful selection, creative re-edits, and a keen sense for rhythmic nuances. This working method suggests that his take on the track on this record integrates both DJ-oriented arrangements and playful live elements.

Q.A.S.B. bring their background in modern soul and funk to the table; the band regularly works with acoustic and horn-driven arrangements that combine vocal warmth and instrumental finesse. Their contribution gives the version additional organic character and positions the A-side between retro soul and contemporary club aesthetics.

The title refers to the classic “Carolina, Carol Bela” theme by Jorge Ben/Toquinho, which for decades has served as a source for remixes and sample-based takes and has thus also gained recognition in the electronic scene. DJ Koco takes up this tradition and translates the melodic legacy into a 7"-friendly format that speaks to DJs and listeners alike.

I Am An Instrument — a fully improvised modal jazz/dub collective based in Copenhagen, releasing their new album Wonder, Wander in late August on their own label, IAAI Music.

The premise of I Am An Instrument is simple and radical: no setlists, no arrangements, no safety net. Every record is a document of musicians surrendering entirely to the moment — modal jazz sensibility colliding with dub space and texture, recorded live as a single unfolding event. Wonder, Wander is the album where that philosophy deepens into something more searching. The title says it: it’s music that doesn’t arrive — it moves, it drifts, it discovers.

This isn’t a band that rehearses its improvisation. The tension on the record is real.

Joe Armon-Jones appears on this album — not as a featured guest in the conventional sense, but as a full participant in the improvisation. The backstory is simple: I met him backstage while he was setting up for a gig, handed him a bag of vinyl, and discovered he already had some of my productions in his collection. That moment of mutual recognition turned into a conversation, and eventually into a session. He came in, surrendered to the process like everyone else, and what’s on the record is what happened.

The band are rooted in Copenhagen’s experimental underground, with connections running from Afrobeat to dub to spiritual jazz. Not easy to categorize, which is exactly the way they like it.

Yuka Mizuhara’s “Moon Dust” 12-inch is released on Rush Hour and marks the debut of the Japanese DJ, model, artist, and selector. For the release, she collaborates with producer Benedek as well as Mickey de Grand IV of Psychic Mirrors. Together, they combine boogie and city pop with a contemporary, sun-warmed sonic aesthetic.

Yuka Mizuhara is known for her all-vinyl DJ sets, her NTS Radio residency “Wave Flower,” and collaborations with Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Towa Tei. Her musical work draws on Japanese techno-pop, experimental electronics, and dance music without merely repeating their historical influences.

At the heart of “Moon Dust” are Benedek’s rolling synthesizer bass lines and softly flowing chord progressions. Mickey de Grand IV and Yuka Mizuhara complement this foundation with catchy vocal melodies and distinctive hooks. The track appears in several different mixes, including the “Seashell Mix,” the “Garage Vocal” version, and an instrumental “Moon Garage” mix.

The production’s buoyant lightness recalls the colorful RAH Band productions of the 1980s, while combining this approach with sophisticated electronic arrangement work and organic dance-floor energy. With “Moon Dust,” Yuka Mizuhara consistently continues her work as a musician and, together with Rush Hour, creates a romantic, synth-driven world.

The compilation "Skyrager Presents Coconut Dreams Volume One" has been released on Mr Bongo as a gatefold double LP. Collector, producer, and DJ Skyrager, known as Danny McLewin (one half of Psychemagik), has curated a soundtrack-like selection that functions as an imaginary tropical retreat. The compilation draws on carefully chosen tracks, some familiar and some rediscovered, which in sequence create a calm, dreamlike atmosphere.

Musically, the compilation moves between sun-drenched folk idyll, dreamy soul, astral ambient textures, and smooth AOR. Tracks like The Carmets’ “Silver Moon Beach” and Angela Bofill’s “Under The Moon And Over The Sky” sit alongside Keiko Nosaka & George Murasaki with koto-infused prog rock, Fred Bryan & The All Stars’ politically charged soul, and O’Donel Levy’s warm guitar work. Vinyl-exclusive tracks and the breadth of arrangements underline the curatorial signature and open up space for unexpected sonic encounters.

The sequencing emphasizes a fluid transition from organic rhythms to ethereal synth layers and delicate horn arrangements, allowing the record to function as a continuous journey. As a Mr Bongo release, the compilation also documents meticulous archival work and Skyrager’s keen ear for gems beyond the mainstream.

The "Almost There" LP by Espen Eriksen Trio is released on Rune Grammofon and continues the pianist and composer's trajectory: concise, melodic compositions that combine both melancholic and uplifting moments. The pieces follow a clear, song-like structure that leaves room for subtle nuances and gives the album its distinctive, restrained aesthetic.

The breathtaking sound quality of the production is particularly noteworthy. Rich in detail, dynamic, and organically natural, the sound is the result of the recording and mixing work at Propeller Music Division in Oslo, the studio Espen Eriksen has favored for several albums. It is precisely this level of fidelity that makes "Almost There" especially appealing to audiophile listeners.

Espen Eriksen Trio was formed in 2007 and released its debut in 2010; the fixed lineup of Espen Eriksen (piano), Lars Tormod Jenset (double bass), and Andreas Bye (drums) is characterized by tight, interactive interplay. The band has toured on four continents and worked repeatedly with British saxophonist Andy Sheppard; their reduced, melodic approach has received widespread international acclaim. All three musicians bring broad experience from pop to jazz and have collaborated, among others, with artists such as Bugge Wesseltoft and John Scofield.

Release: 1969 / Reissue

Genre: Soul, Funk & Jazz

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

The "Black Rhythm Happening" LP by Eddie Gale was released on Blue Note and brings together eight tracks that make the connection between jazz, soul, and gospel-style choral structures clearly audible. Recorded on May 2, 1969 at Van Gelder Studio, the album captures an organic, live-sounding sonic image on vinyl; the total running time is about 37 minutes.

Musically, Eddie Gale draws on his experience with Sun Ra and the New York avant-garde, combining it with soulful harmonic textures and rhythmically driven percussion. The title track works with call-and-response formulas, "Mexico Thing" introduces Afro-Latin chants, and other pieces reveal an affinity with freer jazz forms. This stylistic mixture is highlighted by the use of an eleven-piece vocal group, the Noble Gale Singers ensemble.

The lineup underscores the ambitious character of the project: Gale leads on trumpet, accompanied by Jimmy Lyons on alto saxophone, Roland Alexander and Russell Lyle on saxophones and flutes, Jo Ann Gale Stevens on guitar and vocals, and Elvin Jones on drums; bass and African percussion round out the arrangements. The combination of choir, horns, and powerful rhythms makes "Black Rhythm Happening" an unusual yet coherent chapter in Blue Note history.

Limited edition on Red Brick / colored vinyl, available exclusively at HHV.

The Frozen Flashes 12" by Okvsho, released on Hip Dozer, documents the Zurich project of brothers Christoph and Georg Kiss in a working method that tightly intertwines live improvisation and studio-based editing. In sessions in Zurich and London, the musicians played together; short, spontaneous moments, rhythms, and textures were captured, then sampled, cut, and arranged into nine carefully sculpted pieces. The result sits somewhere between jazz and fusion and uses the unpredictability of recordings as a compositional principle. Guests such as Azekel, Melodiesinfonie, FloFilz, Tenderlonious, and Hadel contribute individual accents; their contributions add sharp highlights and expand the instrumental palette.

On this 12", Okvsho and Hip Dozer show how fragmentary ideas can ripen into concise themes; brief recordings become starting points for entire tracks that feel both raw and fully worked out. Frozen Flashes is thus less a conventional album in the traditional sense than a collection of moments that puts spontaneity front and center and makes the structural arc between live session and studio work visible.

Between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s, musicians across the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten created music that crossed stylistic boundaries, forming a close-knit network shaped by common histories and identities, while rarely receiving wider recognition. From the psychedelic funk of local stars Sugar Ice Tea and Cryptus Confession to the Latin influences of visiting musicians like Puerto Rican star Mon Rivera via Surinamese-influenced soul and the garage rock of Los Honda, the islands nourished a huge array of styles and talent. Antiyano Progresivo unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming Caribbean. During the twentieth century, oil industries, migration and tourism reshaped the islands, creating unparalleled cultural exchange while deepening social divisions. African, Latin American, North American and European musical traditions intertwined with local forms, producing a rich and distinctive musical landscape. Tambú, tumba, calypso and Caribbean dance music coexisted alongside soul, funk, psychedelic rock, reggae, Latin music and American and British pop. Musicians moved fluidly between these styles, developing sounds that were unmistakably local while remaining connected to wider currents across the Caribbean and beyond. The period also coincided with growing movements for cultural and political self determination. Events such as Curaçao's Trinta di Mei uprising in 1969, the emergence of Black Power movements and increasing calls for greater autonomy fostered renewed pride in African heritage, local languages and cultural expression. These ideas resonated through music, inspiring artists to challenge conventions and create work that reflected changing identities.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the release of *Buena Vista Social Club*, this classic is now being issued as a limited edition on "pearl vinyl." The release includes the remastered audio as well as the bonus tracks originally issued in 2021 for the album's 25th anniversary. The *Buena Vista Social Club* project—initiated by Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos González, American producer and guitarist Ry Cooder, and British producer and label owner Nick Gold—refers to both the extraordinary collective of musicians and the album they recorded in just seven days in 1996 at the legendary EGREM Studios in Havana, which date back to the 1950s. A special atmosphere was palpable even during the recording sessions; yet no one could have foreseen that *Buena Vista Social Club* would evolve into a global phenomenon—winning a Grammy (1997) and selling over 8 million copies, making it more successful than any other record in the genre. The immense success of the original album propelled the participating artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo, and Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders and a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, and played a pivotal role in bringing Cuba's rich musical heritage to the world stage. Thanks to Ry Cooder’s production and Nick Gold’s executive production (for World Circuit), combined with the timeless quality of the music and the impressive vitality of the seasoned musicians, this album has established itself as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.

The "Toxic Funk Volume 24" 7" by Umbo is released on Breakbeat Paradise and continues the long‑running series with two instantly usable dancefloor cuts. The A‑side features "Got Soul," a groove‑laden funk track driven by punchy drums, springy basslines, and a warm, soulful energy. On the B‑side, "Save It" delivers a rougher funk approach with precise breaks, crisp rhythms, and cleverly chopped vocal bits that mark the track as a true DJ weapon.

Umbo is regarded as one of the original pioneers of the nu‑funk movement; his releases on Good Groove Records and Timewarp have cemented his feel for timeless party tunes. His style is defined by the skillful fusion of classic funk elements with modern breakbeat production: soulful samples are combined with sharp drum patterns and tightly arranged basslines without sacrificing the organic warmth of the source material.

Both cuts are clearly designed for use in the club and in DJ sets, fitting equally well into funk, breaks, nu‑disco, and party‑edit selections. With "Toxic Funk Volume 24," Umbo underlines his consistency as a producer and expands the Breakbeat Paradise catalog with two practical, vocal‑ and groove‑driven tracks made for real‑world play.

Charles Brackeen’s “Rhythm X” LP was released on Strata East and documents the saxophonist’s debut as a bandleader. Recorded on January 26, 1968, and released in 1973, the album brings together four original compositions with a distinctive free jazz lineup: Don Cherry on trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Ed Blackwell on drums. The session was produced by Clifford Jordan.

Brackeen’s tenor saxophone stands at the center of an open, dynamic approach that emphasizes close interaction and spontaneous development. On the title track, “Rhythm X,” and the extended “Hour Glass,” a soundscape takes shape that shifts between angular impulses, lyrical lines, and collective interplay. The participation of Cherry, Haden, and Blackwell points to the New York avant-garde of the era and to an ensemble closely connected to Ornette Coleman’s musical circle.

All of the pieces were written by Charles Brackeen, whose distinctive voice clearly emerges despite the presence of such prominent collaborators. The four musicians treat the compositions not as rigid frameworks but as starting points for fluid dialogues between saxophone, trumpet, bass, and drums. In this way, “Rhythm X” combines the angular energy of free jazz with a pronounced melodic sensibility. Strata East presents a historically significant recording from the label’s early period and a focused portrait of Brackeen’s distinctive musical language.

The recording combines standards and original pieces into a compact running time that centers Yamamoto’s touch with strong attack and melodic finesse.

For listeners interested in classic piano trios and Japanese jazz production of the seventies, “Life” offers a direct glimpse into Yamamoto’s early artistic voice.

Transamericas reissues Atom™’s Kraftwerk-goes-chachachá classic After 25 years out of print, El Baile Alemán — the cult album by Señor Coconut (one of Atom™’s many aliases) — returns on vinyl via Transamericas. What began as a half-joke (“The only way I’d cover Kraftwerk is as chachachá or death metal…”) became a fever-born epiphany: Kraftwerk’s electronic minimalism recast through a tropical imagination — where chachachá, mambo, and cumbia intertwine with glitch, breakbeats, and distressed samples. Long before reggaeton and trap filled stadiums and playlists, Señor Coconut was already mapping the fault lines between Latin rhythm and electronic form. Originally released in Japan in 2000, El Baile Alemán caught the ear of Kraftwerk’s Florian Schneider, who unexpectedly championed the project. This reissue has been cut from Atom™’s 2022 remasters, preserving the album’s detail for a new generation of listeners. In the second half of 2026, Transamericas will also reissue El Gran Baile (1997), his first outing — a rawer but equally idiosyncratic fusion of what Atom™ was going to frame as electrolatino.

The “Blues Masters Live” LP by Tony Joe White on APO documents a previously unreleased live performance by the songwriter and guitarist, recorded as part of Blues Masters at the Crossroads. The recording was made in October 2003 at Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas, and showcases White’s distinctive style: gritty vocals, growling harmonica, and his characteristic electric guitar, which lends a concise, compelling foundation to classics such as “Polk Salad Annie” and “Steamy Windows,” as well as original compositions like “Willie and Laura Mae Jones.” He is joined onstage by drummer Marc Cohen, giving the set an immediate, rhythm-driven foundation.

The concert was recorded directly to analog tape. Engineers David Baker and Katsuhiko Naito were responsible for the recording, and Matthew Lutthans mastered it at The Mastering Lab from the original analog tapes. APO has the production pressed on 180-gram vinyl and presents the LP in a Direct-to-Board gatefold jacket with old-style Tip-On printing by Stoughton Printing; the record was pressed at Quality Record Pressings. This live document distills White’s raw Southern blues into a concentrated form and adds an immediate performance to the artist’s discography—one that combines familiar songs and deeper album cuts with direct, spirited musicianship.

The “Feel It ’26 / Splicey” 7" by The Reflex comes out on Flex7 and delivers a streamlined release by the British re-edit project, aimed squarely at DJ use. The A-side leads with “Feel It ’26 (The Reflex Revision),” driven by a propulsive groove, while the B-side rounds out the release with the complementary cut “Splicey,” making the single feel conceived as a compact club tool.

The Reflex has built a reputation with reworked versions and revisions of older disco and soul tracks; his releases are often tailored for direct use behind the decks, with a clear focus on groove-oriented arrangements and dance-floor-friendly structures. Flex7 has a clear 7-inch focus and relies on concise, single-format releases that appeal equally to DJs and collectors.

On the center label of this pressing, “Feel It ’26 (The Reflex Revision)” is listed at 125 BPM with a running time of 5:30—figures that underline its focus on danceable tempos and extended edit passages. Musically, the single showcases the characteristic Reflex approach: lean percussion, pronounced basslines, and a subtle reshaping of melodic motifs that lends the source material fresh dynamism.

The 7" “Am I Wrong Over Egypt / D'evils On My Mind” by DJ Nyack was released on Revamp and delivers two distinctive edit takes from the funk/soul universe. The A-side features “Am I Wrong Over Egypt,” while the B-side carries “D'evils On My Mind”; both tracks showcase DJ Nyack’s feel for tight cuts and dynamic transitions. With this 7", Revamp presents a compact piece of vinyl that distills the essence of classic funk and soul sources into a short format while still leaving room for DJ use.

DJ Nyack relies on a stripped-back arrangement and sharpened grooves, which bring melodic fragments and riffs further to the forefront. The production emphasizes rhythmic precision and the balance between loop-based density and musical expressiveness. “Am I Wrong Over Egypt / D'evils On My Mind” works as a focused addition to sets where nuanced soul sections and concise funk passages are needed, and it documents DJ Nyack’s signature as an editor and curator of vintage material. This title by DJ Nyack on Revamp is aimed at listeners who appreciate compact, to-the-point funk and soul edits.

The “Suite For Max Brown” LP by Jeff Parker was released on Nonesuch in partnership with International Anthem and carries a personal dedication to his mother, Maxine Brown. On the record, Parker leads his ensemble The New Breed and takes on guitar, synthesizer, and sampler duties as well as piano and drum work; the opening vocal is contributed by his daughter Ruby Parker. Together with co-producer and bassist Paul Bryan, who also mixed the recordings with Parker, he shapes a just-under-an-hour program that feels both composed and open.

Musically, “Suite For Max Brown” blends jazz with elements of R&B and soul, and extends Parker’s compositional signature through carefully chosen reinterpretations: alongside nine original compositions, the album features Jeff Parker’s rendition of John Coltrane’s “After the Rain” as well as the short piece “Gnarciss,” based on a motif by Joe Henderson. The contributing musicians include pianist and saxophonist Josh Johnson, trumpeter Nate Walcott, Rob Mazurek on piccolo trumpet, cellist Katinka Kleijn, and drummers Makaya McCraven, Jamire Williams, and Jay Bellerose, who lend rhythmic depth to the arrangements. The “Suite For Max Brown” LP documents Parker’s feel for airy melodies and subtle grooves and places his work as a composer and multi-instrumentalist in a clear, distinctive context.

The "Come Back Home (Again)" 7" by Al Kent With The Disco Love Orchestra is released on Big Love and presents a deliberately focused new recording of one of his best-known tracks. Al Kent, respected on the scene as an influential collector and producer, leads his Disco Love Orchestra into an arranging language that recalls the orchestral, Philadelphia-inflected dancefloor arrangements of the 1970s; driving basslines, shimmering string sections, and punchy horn figures form the musical foundation, while powerful soul vocals carry the central melodic backbone.

The release comprises two parts — "Come Back Home (Again) Pt1" and "Pt2" — and is offered on 7" vinyl; the compact single format stays true to the song material without unnecessary excess. With this edition, Big Love delivers a precise, dancefloor-focused version in which Al Kent reimagined forgotten gems of the disco tradition while at the same time connecting modern strains of boogie with classic arrangements. The release is scheduled for October 16, 2026, and is aimed at listeners who appreciate sophisticated, vocal-driven dance productions.

The "Lupin The 3rd Orignal Soundtrack Clear Red Vinyl Edition" by You & Explosion Band Yuji Ohno is released as a 12-inch edition on Nippon Columbia and brings key themes from the Lupin universe to colored vinyl. The clear red vinyl underscores the collectible character of the release and transfers both the orchestral and funky arrangements cleanly to the format.

For decades, Yuji Ohno with You & Explosion Band has defined the compositional core of the series, combining jazzy harmonies with funk, soul, and fusion elements; this blend also shapes the present compilation. Characteristic features include striking horn lines, springy bass runs, and smooth Rhodes or piano parts that carry both grooving tracks and cinematic interludes. The band functions as a flexible ensemble that shifts between a big band feel and more intimate small jazz combo settings.

This edition highlights not only the well-known themes but also Yuji Ohno’s arrangements and production work; dense horn sections and selective string arrangements add cinematic depth, while the rhythm section drives the pieces forward. For lovers of soundtrack jazz and collectors of Japanese soundtrack pressings, this LP offers a documentary addition to the discography of You & Explosion Band Yuji Ohno.

The “Exotic Meditations / Sloppy Souls” LP by JJ Whitefield is released on Funk Night and brings together two distinctly different sonic halves. The release came out on March 6, 2026; all material was written, performed, recorded, and produced by JJ Whitefield. The first side unfolds as a series of library-inspired pieces that combine chilled grooves with hints of Ethio-jazz and influences from the Middle East, repeatedly incorporating unusual instrumental textures and sparse, concise melodic lines.

The second side, titled “Sloppy Souls,” offers dense, organic instrumental arrangements that evoke familiar late-night soul and instrumental ballads while leaving room for subtle variations in the groove. Tracks such as “Assra Ahnd Pt. 1” and “Shattered Dreams” illustrate the range between exotic atmospheres and an emotive, lightly grainy soul aesthetic. Johannes Schleiermacher contributes tenor saxophone and flute and is also involved in co-writing tracks 1 and 5. Released as an LP on Funk Night, “Exotic Meditations / Sloppy Souls” documents JJ Whitefield’s continued engagement with library-oriented sonic ideas and his ability to connect dense arrangements with pared-down, effective motifs.
