Lovely, tripped out 7" from our friend Via Maris, on Jabu's great new label 'do you have peace?':
Recently reissued Jazz goodness, been getting nice rotation here recently:
Pessimist is at it again, in depth-charge style with some heavyweight chug business - this one's a heads-down drifter:
Time has only made this one better. Great to see these raw, eclectic Mica Levi works on tape via DDS:
Our friend Matthew at Disciples is constantly hard at work pushing the good stuff, and this one adds to that strong catalogue of unearthed goods:
Tip straight from Alex at Studio Tape-Echo - drum-heavy, new-school jazz bizniz:
That sweetspot between early 2000's RnB bangers we have a sweetspot for, in a fresh twist - A big combo of JA's RDL on mic, and SKRS on production, served via our good friend and HQ-sharer Miles at Bokeh Versions, alongside the Duppy Gun crew:
Love the punk attitude and the unique mashing of sound-worlds Maral brings to her productions in such an effortless way. This LP hits a real sweet spot between classic Iranian sounds, raw dubwise approach and dance music which is equally at peace on the home hifi:
Well... Bit biased here maybe, but we do honestly love the wide-spanning, nonstop quality of the tracks on this 6 track 12" featuring friends and family of Noods Radio - It's their first slab of wax ever, and it comes with a Studio Tape-Echo design:
Big tip on this one - industrial weight club tekkers and dancehall abstractions from Weird Weather, presenting their 2nd 12" on own label LASH00:

Amos: me and seb (vessel) used to listen to this on repeat at his mum's house back in the day pretty sure the bass upset a few neighbours (and pos seb's mum) as well:
Amos: proper queasy and beautiful ones from micachu, all weird vignettes and interludes - me and sam love a good 1 min long tune as well and there's loads on here:
Amos: the greatest to ever do it, def one of my most listened to records of all time. used to get rinsed in school 24/7 and still does:
Sam: i love early 2000's dancehall instrumentals and this compilation highlights why:
Sam: another crucial record with a uk flavour, a must have for anyone interested in UK soundsystem history:
