Son Mieux is a collective formed around Dutch singer, songwriter & producer Camiel Meiresonne. Once the keyboard player in Soul Sister Dance Revolution and in his young years frontman of All Missing Pieces. After playing in bands since he was eleven years old, he is now a grown young man, ready to invite the world into his own. Son Mieux writes his songs in the after hours, which make his songs both intimate & alive. By combining folk, indie and electronic music, he manages to create a unique sound and to process the expressions of his personality in his music.

The past two years have been an accumulation of highlights for Son Mieux. Single 'Even' became 3FM Megahit, debut EP 'Vice Versa' (2016) was streamed more than 6 million times and the song 'Easy' was used under major advertising campaigns from ING, McDonalds and Deezer. The band toured the country with sold-out club shows, festivals such as Zwarte Cross and Where The Wild Things Are.

In 2017 and 2018 they took their time to write the debut album. With singles 'Hiding', 'Everyday' and 'Old Love', the debut album Faire de Son Mieux makes a more mature and fuller sound. Together with producer Thijs van der Klugt (Douwe Bob, Sue the Night), a deepening was sought without losing the characteristic Son Mieux sound.

Faire de Son Mieux is available as a limited first pressing of 500 individually numbered copies on white vinyl. The package includes 5 exclusive inserts with song lyrics and photos.

Michael Jackson / HiStory Continues - On Limited Picture Vinyl

Nothing more to say!

RYD's self-titled album is ruthlessly honest and
impeccably inventive; music as therapy, where the
work itself becomes so entwined with one person's life
that context becomes meaningless and the content
becomes strikingly universal. 'It's about heartbreak,
and people being deceitful, I guess. It's about me,
most of the time. It's about relationships I've had with
people, and things that have happened that have
affected me emotionally. It isn't so much characters,
but what I've experienced.'
It's an album dominated by digital technology, by the
way the internet has impacted on the way we
communicate and the way we cover things up. 'I was
to explore relationships through the internet and
offline,' he explains. 'What I was really thinking about
when I was writing this record was how you could
have a split personality, and so have one personality
online, and one personality in person. And how much
that can differ.'
LP format includes digital download code.

Nude is the fourth album by the English pop band Dead or Alive. After the separation from their successful production team Stock-Aiken-Waterman band members Pete Burns and Steve Co took over the control of the ship. They created a respectable release which covers most of their highly attractive and energetic dance, pop and euro-disco music. The big hits of this release were 'Turn Around And Count 2 Ten' and 'Come Home With Me Baby', both an eclectic fusion of electronica beats and danceable rhythms. One thing that makes this album so remarkable is the fact that each song flows into the next and perfectly accompanies the previous one.

Dead or Alive gained success in the mid-1980s and sold over 50 million records worldwide. Founder and vocalist Pete Burns passed away in 2016 and since the band discontinued.

Nude is available as a pressing of 1.500 individually numbered copies on pink & black mixed vinyl.

Almunia (Leonardo Ceccanti and Gianluca Salvadori) unleashed their
debut LP in 2011 with a sweet heady mix of overdubbed disco, guitars
and psyched out grooves. With gatefold hand numbered copies selling
on Discogs for around £170, you now get the chance to own it as a
double LP without breaking the bank. Kicking off with 'Psychedelic'
the pace is set, before 'New Moon' pins you down for a sweet Pink
Flloydian ride. 'Dos Estrellas' hits home to deliver the promise of this
outft, a blissed out subtle-as-you-like intro, coming on like a 12' indie
dub mix from the late 80's, dropping half way through for full on sunset
smiles.
The essence of Peter Green is distilled through 'Electro Blues' and
underpinned with a rubbery dustbowl bassline, vocals wash over the
breakdown in what could be the soundtrack to a weird peyote inspired
movie scene that hasn't been made yet. 'Kissing Time' sweetens
things up with a nifty melody and vocal whilst 'Moving Up Slowly'
really does as it says and notches up the bass, FX, beats and voices
for a hefty slab of midnight boogie.
'Travel' then turns up the sweatiness, with a sluggish, pounding beat,
solid throb of bass and analogue lines from a John Carpenter chase,
dark and heady, with vocals added by Benjamin James Smith from
Smith & Mudd. 'Until She Comes' brings you round nicely at the other
end of the LP with a sweet lolloping bass, choral touches, nifty beats
and a delicate hand on the guitar.
Comes as a double LP limited to 300

After captivating the scene with different singles and EPs released on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Clown & Sunset and All Day I Dream, Be Svendsen presents his first full-length album entitled 'Between a Smile and Tear'

Be Svendsen - Dancefloor heavy hitter and pioneer of the desert-tech sound, releases his first full length album on Copenhagen's Music For Dreams label. Here he reaches beyond the dusty dance floors that brought him recognition, and connects with nostalgic roots of music from his childhood. After a series of very well received singles and ep's on labels like Crosstown Rebels and All Day I Dream, we now get a deeper peep into what it's like Be'ing Svendsen.

Between A Smile a Tear is a wide spanning album in terms of mood, instrumentation, tempi and style, with clear references that reach back to a time where experimental innocence met the futuristic and forward thinking. Be Svendsens describes his music as 'Tarantino Techno'. He brings in emotional guitar melodies and dry strings, and adds it to his club universe where moods can change in an instant. With many talented musicians featured on the album, Be Svendsen shows us his diversity that spans from innovative deep new-disco cuts, galactic journey melodies, analogue ambient atmosphere to classic song writing, soundtrack'esque epicness, and a deep-tech organic collaboration with Henri Texier. We even get a taste of Be Svendsens own vocals.

RRR have once more tapped in to their combined creative vaults producing another sophisticated slice of smouldering modern soul and subtle funky grooves. A potent and vastly enticing hybrid laced with killer hooks - enthused in the tradition of Norman Whitfield, with a twist of psychedelia.
(Emrys Baired - Blues & Soul)

Gareth Tasker plays and Barrie Sharpe produces. Their sound is individual - based upon the funk of the early 70s: however, with a totally modern production. The clean unique Sharpe production places every part of the puzzle into the correct space: 'every note is audible'. Accompanied by the outstanding abstract gospel vocals of Danelle Harvey - the understated, haunting jazzy horn of Kenny Wellington (Beggar & Co / Light Of The World) & the soulful smatterings of AprilFoolChild's flutewomanship. Fritz Catlin (23 Skidoo) adds the final edge with his Studer 169...
'I was a product of the times and the product became the producer. I designed the clothes, ran the club, played the records, was in the band and made the music, which created the scene that changed youth culture worldwide. I just kept falling up hill.' (Barrie Sharpe)...The clothes - Duffer of St. George (created 1984) - from the street, 4 young men shook up the fashion industry globally...
The Clubs - Black Market (Wag) 84/85 and The Cat In The Hat 85/86 - he with his friend Lascelle Lascelles played their favourite 70s funk records to a brand new audience. The style they played became known as 'Rare Groove' - the change in club culture...The band - Diana Brown & The Brothers - that consisted of The Brand New Heavies, The Young Disciples and Diana Brown & Barrie K Sharpe - became the defining sound of the Acid Jazz Movement...

Shrine Records stands as DC's most fabled contribution to the soul landscape of the 1960s. A string of top-notch releases, followed by a future that quite literally went up in the flames of the 1968 riots, assured the future collectibility of these rare and killer slabs of wax. Among their stable of talent was one Leroy Taylor, whose Shrine era output now doubles thanks to the unreleased Edgewood Studios acetate we dug up, lovingly remastered, and now present to you. Both sides burst forth with energy and emotion, sure to liven up any DJ set and put smile on the face of any and all listeners

"La Tène is back with a double invitation to its third full length LP.
The hurdy-gurdy/harmonium/percussions trio welcomes two bagpipes (cabrettes and 23' to be exact), and a combo of string instruments (12-string guitar and electric bass).

Beyond the instrumentation, we're looking at a gang of high esteemed guests: Jacques Puech, Louis Jacques, Guilhem Lacroux and Jérémie Sauvage, whom works are given their due credit (with the La Novià collective and its multiple variations, the France group, Super Parquet, the Standard-In-Fi label, etc.), are at ease with fuelling the traditional ball dance floor (literally in its wooden meaning) as well as questioning it, confortable with sparking dance moves as well as pushing instruments and their sound to their ultimate limits.

La Tène's music doesn't alter itself, it is always at the conjuncture between obsessive repetition and fragmented traditional music, hence developing a mineral depth on an obstinate pulse. Where one hears an instrument, its mirror unburdens until the confusion. One lies breathless, only whishing the end becomes an eternal resumption."

Die Sängerin und Songwriterin Maggie Rogers wird am 18.01.2019 ihr Debütalbum - Heard It In A Past
Life' veröffentlichen. Ihre neuste Single - Light On' ist ein Brief an ihre Fans, in dem sie ihre Gefühle
über die zwei vergangenen Jahre ihres Lebens wiederspiegelt. Maggie wird als Support-Act die Band
Mumford & Sons auf ihrer Tour durch Nordamerika unterstützen.

Tiwayos Sound ist vom 1960er und 70er Soul, Rock, Blues, Gospel und Reggae beeinflusst und
wurde von schlaflosen Nächten, Auftritten in der U-Bahn und auf Reisen in den USA und Europa
geprägt. Aufgewachsen ist er in einer Pariser Vorstadt, aber seine spirituelle und kreative Heimat liegt
im Süden der USA. Sein Talent wurde schon früh von Künstler wie Norah Jones, Seal, Marcus Miller,
Patrice oder Curtis Harding erkannt, in deren Vorprogramm er schon spielte. Der französische Rolling
Stone nannte Tiwayo - ein kleines Soul-Genie' und Paris Match schrieb, er habe - eine
außergewöhnliche Stimme'.

Youthquake ist der kommerzielle Durchbruch der britischen Pop-Gruppe Dead Or Alive.
Bekannt geworden ist das Album durch den absoluten Single-Hit You Spin Me Round (Like a
Record), die in den Deutschen Single-Charts Platz 2 belegte und sich in der Schweiz sogar bis auf
No.1 vorarbeitete. Ein weiterer großer Single-Hit und ein weiterer absoluter Ohrwurm ist das
absolut Disco-taugliche Lover Come Back to Me (Charts: CH #5; DE #21).
Einflüsse von Glam-Rock und Gothic sind sowohl in Dead Or Alives Musik als auch in ihrem
Image miteinander vermischt. Youthquake ist ein tolles und energisches Beispiel dafür, mit welcher
Platte man eine Party beginnen sollte. Dead Or Alive wurden Mitte der 1980er Jahre erfolgreich und
verkauften bis heute über 50 Millionen Tonträger weltweit. Gründer und Sänger Pete Burns
starb 2016 woraufhin sich die Band auflöste.

For its holy thirty-third release, Drawing Room divinely offers 'Rhizomatic Gaze', the newest solo album from Marcia Bassett and Zaimph. 'Rhizomatic Gaze' is the ultra-heavy beautiful apex breath of all the

wonderful things Bassett is known for: noisy electronic enraptures, forward thinking drone, experimental inventions, percussive plays, and entranced vocal takes.

It's absolutely stunning and essential listening in a level all to itself. Admirers of the dark left field need this release. Mastered by Josh Bonati for Bonati Mastering and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, the deluxe 2xLP comes in a heavy

stark sleeve accompanied by an 11x22' double-sided foldout poster.

Der gefeierte Komponist, Produzent, Gitarrist und Songwriter Blake Mills wird am 30.11. mit Look ein
neues Instrumental-Album veröffentlichen. Die Musik dokumentiert Mills' Eintauchen in die Welt der
Vintage-Gitarren-Synthesizer.
'The music on Look was not created with the intention of ever being heard,' erklärt Mills. 'In the spring
of 2017 I discovered a small collection of vintage guitar synthesizers that Roland made at the end of
the 1970's. These machines were totally unfamiliar to me but immediately intuitive and inspiring. Since
they rarely produce the same results twice, my process of learning how to play these instruments was
through recording them...Look is a document of that experience; improvisational and exploratory
music elaborated upon with the help of musicians Natalie Mering, Rob Moose, Joseph Lorge, Sam
Gendel, Matt Chamberlain, and Kane Ritchotte.'
Wie seine bisherigen Arbeiten teilt auch 'Look' den Spirit des musikalischen Erkundens und Auslotens
von Grenzen. Mills hat mit Break Mirrors und Heigh Ho bislang zwei Soloalben veröffenlicht, den
Grammy als Produzent für das Alabama Shakes Album Sound + Color gewonnen und wurde überdies
zweimal zum Produzent des Jahres nominiert.

Die zwei Pranke-Köpfe sind Daniel Bödvarsson an Gitarre und Gesang sowie Max Andrzejewski an
Schlagzeug, Synthesizern und ebenfalls Gesang. Ein isländisch-deutsches, also irgendwie typisches
Berliner Paar der Jetztzeit auf den Pfaden anderer großer musikalischer Ehen der
Experimentierfreudigkeit wie Silver Apples, Godley & Creme oder Mouse on Mars. Pranke bieten eine
locker aus den vier Ärmeln geschüttelte, unverschämt gut verpackte Post-, Math- wie Jazzrock-Fusion,
die nicht selten so klingt, als würde Captain Beefhearts Magic Band gerade eine ECM-Party sprengen.
Auf ihrem Debütalbum zeigen Pranke wie blühend kreativ die junge Berliner Jazzszene aktuell ist,
denn in diesen Kreisen bewegen sich diese beiden Musiker ansonsten in unzähligen Formationen als
Komponisten und Improvisatoren. (z.B. mit Max Andrzejewski Projekt HÜTTE; in Zusammenarbeit mit
Greg Cohen oder Kalle Kalima; mit dem isländischen Popsänger Högni und vielen mehr). Daniel
Bödvarsson ist nicht nur einer der aktuell schillerndsten E-Gitarristen des Jazz zwischen Berlin und
Reykjavik, sondern auch ein begnadeter Sänger. Mit Pranke ziehen die beiden aber nun in die
Nachbarschaft von Bands wie Deerhoof oder zu ihren Freunden von ZA!.

Silk Road Assassins, a trio consisting of Tom E Vercetti, Chemist and Lovedr0id, return to Planet Mu with their debut full-length 'State Of Ruin' two years after their first EP 'Reflection Spaces'.

The trio recorded over two years, working together to start with, then across different studios and via the internet when their lives became more separated. They also finessed the album at Abbey Road studios, making use of some short time to add in extra layers.

The three producers day jobs are in production music, music designed and created specifically for film and games, and this album uses these skills to explore the musical forms that they love. The album explores how trap and grime's minimalist form can be built and curved into musical architecture: elegant, opaque and layered, turning the sound into lush, melodic world-building.

The work gone into the album is revealed on repeated listens, every sound on this record feels built to sit within it's delicate ecosystem. The fundamentals of the music are given their own sense of purpose: hand claps spray, bells tumble, guitars splinter and lush melodies waft over and fill the track's spaces like light, glinting across snapping, crisp rhythms and deep bass tones.

Reissue of a 1991 demo cd released by Clarence Séti. Multi-genre digital synth compositions possibly intended for a soundtrack. Some romper-jazz, funk, freeform minimalism, and whatever else you want to call it.

Guy & Howard explore a depth of influences across these five special tracks which draw from their love of African rhythms, deep house, disco and vocal jazz.
'All of these tracks are sample based and we wanted to delve into genres that we hadn't really experimented with in the past. What we ended up with worked so well together as a set - uplifting, upbeat and danceable, and it made sense to put them all out now in one go.' -Disclosure
The Moonlight LP consolidates all these releases and is available as an exclusive limited edition vinyl release, out on December the 7th.

Family is a sometimes great, if big, notion. Hard to sustain, most often dysfunctional. At LDDLM, we do not put pressure on anyone, and certainly not ourselves. But bounds are sometimes tightened, some artists we would never consider ours, but most certainly as closed friends.

This is the 3rd EP (a house record) by Antoine Harispuru aka GOLDEN BUG but the first, excitement renewed, in company of IN FIELDS.

They push the boundaries of GB's trademark ghost funk on this EP: BONES features once again Diego Hdez for a smacked out yet epic pop number (we would not call it shoegaze). CRACKS dissolves its ethnic funk into pure psychedelia, SHAKES dubbing itself out into oblivion. All in all, 3 strong bongs. Finally FANTASTIC TWINS (Hippie Dance/Optimo/Microdosing) builds her own wall of sound, expanding BONES into a mind bending prison.

Turn on, tune in, never drop out.

Dürerstuben are back at them ivory keys to prove once again their broadly spread outcome of funk and groove.
Being responsible for mothership Luise's first release and hence smoothing the way for a whole lot of pleasent memories we can look back to by now, it's that kind of re-(re!)-animation which puts our hearts to pleaseant warmths. Saddle your moped, pull up your Levi's and straighten your backs: Trays'n'Hits is the right compagnion for long lasting late-night drives, self proclaimed city slackers and mother earth's first outcome of country music you are bound to be proud of listening to. Spin it, Johnny!

Pioneer of electro-acoustic and experimental music, the French Groupe de Recherches Musicales (Musical Research Group) created by Pierre Schaeffer right after World War II still influences current electronic music. This selection of tracks from 1949 to 2004 invites its listener to discover the various directions taken by the most influential musicians of the Groupe.

Unknown Truths is the debut album from Tony Beardsley (aka Dark Strands). What can be said about this album.. for one, it is a body of work that has been crafted as a labour of love with sources of inspiration taken from the late 80's underground warehouse parties and clubs where no one speed or style of music was played.. curve balls as they say, was a good thing. Ambitious maybe.. but the only aim of the album was to actually not to have one. No one genre or concept can be applied, but this is not by design, purely accidental as the music weaves between various electronic strands and rhythm forms. Its fair to say that his music has not been compromised to follow latest trends or fashion. It is for everyone, but no one. It's only true purpose is to liberate senses and provide a lasting sonic soundtrack to the modern age.

FINE JEWELERS is the duo of Dan Helmer (solo Helmer releases on Valcrond Video and Anomia) and Matt Korvette (vocalist of Pissed Jeans). Working at dangerously high BPMs, FINE JEWELERS create neurotic industrial rave music and inhospitable gabber. This four-track debut is a techno headbanger's paradise, primed for subterranean club performance, dungeon Crossfit and outdoor bonfire parties with kids on dirtbikes. If that doesn't get you fired up, just braindance through the midnight d-beat and try again.

Limited edition triple pack of S.A. Kwaito .. previously very hard to find and unknown tracks!

When recording their EP 'MKDRONE,' duo Jeannie Colleene and Gavin Neves - a/k/a HXXS - were cramped in a San Jose warehouse, sharing a wall with a porn studio. Despite their vocal takes periodically interrupted by even louder and harsher vocal takes echoing in the halls, MKDRONE came together. When prescription medication became the only reprieve for an inoperable tooth infection that had one member sliding between unbearable pain and prescription-induced euphoria, the first single 'Seppuku,' the historical Japanese term for suicide by disembowelment, came to fruition. But similar to life with no health insurance and recording music wedged in the walls of a porn studio, HXXS live somewhere between the uncomfortable and the alluring.

Their live show, which consists of any hardware they can get their hands on - drum machines, synthesizers, samplers - is built on loops, making the songs feverish and at times deliberately frenzied to a point of anxiety. However the duo anesthetize this angst with more subdued nods to electronic and post-punk acts of the 80's, 90's, 00's and Present. While their music is undeniably erotic - a tip of the hat to their vocal San Jose neighbours - the EP is what happens when your intrigue with pop culture media and conspiracy theories from the 60's to present turns obsession. Contemplating the bombardment of modern media and those ill served by it. Women, the LGBTQ+ community, people of colour, victims of white supremacy and the patriarchy. As the 10 year anniversary of Captured Tracks draws to a close, HXXS were welcomed to the roster with an invitation to join the final CTX show at Baby's Alright on November 11, playing alongside Drahla and Wax Chattels.

Psychedelic garage, proto-power pop and psych-funk from Paraguay, 1969-1975!



'Pop Espontáneo' includes a selection of previously unreleased recordings by Joern and Dirk Wenger's duo JODI, registered at their state-of the-art 8-track home studio in Asunción, Paraguay. Living in their own isolated world and free from any commercial pressure, Joern Wenger, a kind of Paraguayan Brian Wilson or R.

The Expanding Universe is the 1980 debut album by computer music pioneer Laurie Spiegel. The original album is reissued here as a massively expanded 3LP/2CD set, all four original album tracks plus an additional 15 tracks from the same time period, nearly all previously unreleased and many making their first appearance on vinyl in this brand new edition. Since this album's first reissue in 2012, it has gone on to be widely established as a classic of 20th century electronic music. Some of the well-loved works included in this set are "Patchwork", the "Appalachian Grove" series, 'East River Dawn' and "Kepler's Harmony of the Worlds", which was included on the Golden Record launched on board the Voyager spacecraft. The pieces comprising The Expanding Universe combine slowly evolving textures with the emotional richness of intricate counterpoint, harmony, and complex rhythms (John Fahey and J. S. Bach are both cited as major influences in the original cover's notes), all built of electronic sounds using the GROOVE system at Bell Laboratories during the 1970s. The 3LP vinyl edition was cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin.
