So many nights going on recently about time we shouted out some music once more. Out to Nick at Phonica Records for putting me on to this plate, a new joint from Oakland’s Aybee, done under his o1o moniker. Limited to 300 copies, I recommend getting this on order ASAP cause once it starts getting played out it’s going to…

Juno Plus on ‘Science & Romance’ EP


Stunning review from Juno Plus on Science & Romance went up this week, thought I’d repost for those that missed it, out to Oli Warwick who penned it. On this note the distributor sold out before I could get any copies for myself, so promo plates have been a bit delayed, but will be delivered soon. Need to say a massive…

Just gone up with the new RA chart is a long overdue shout to the debut Container LP, released on Spectrum Spools earlier this year, released and in stores two months after it was recorded.

GG Alien & GSD (Dem Hunger) – More Pregnancy EP


For those that just know Dem Hunger as the guy who changes his name and who posts on twitter in capitals, it’s time to get educated about his music. His releases as Dem Hunger and Wanda Group were the type of underground goodness purchased by all on recommendation, fast making him a “producer’s producer” to stay on top of. Come…

Battlesnake – ‘The Cheshire Cat’


Shouts to Timmy K for putting me on to this track and the three-piece that is Battlesnake – first time I’ve heard from them and hanging out for more. Although the term ‘free-rock’ seems like a tag to music I’d generally avoid, there’s possibly some Moritz von Oswald trio vibes happening here (and perhaps for geographical reasons reminded me of…

Rob McDougall – ‘Science & Romance’ Design and Trailer


The man behind the look and style of Science & Romance is the one Rob McDougall, who just keeps topping our expectations with his work. Kato came to me with a concept for an album cover. He showed me lots of photographs he’d found as inspiration for the look and feel he was after. One in particular stood out, which was…

3 LPs – Thundercat / Blue Daisy / Zed Bias


New RA chart just gone up, thought I’d throw some light on 3 LPs that’ve made an amazing soundtrack in the last few weeks and months. Out on the Flying Lotus run Brainfeeder label, Thundercat comes correct with some proper 21st century jazz styles, offered up on his debut album under this moniker, The Golden Age Of Apocalypse. Unlike his…
