Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
An absolutely seminal album in hip hop culture and more broadly in protest music, Long Island rap group Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back...
Alex Izenberg, Wand, Crack Cloud, Bill Callahan, Mountain Movers, Nightshift and Kevin Fowley.
A full week of new sounds and we are crushing pretty hard on them. Come find out why…
Dead Moon, Clifford Jordan and the Three Sounds and Thad Jones.
A thriller and two chillers, plus forthcoming attractions for any occasion…
Mulatu Astatke - Mulatu Of Ethiopia
An absolute landmark in African music, this Sunday classic is about Mulatu Astatke’s sublime 1972 album, “Mulatu Of Ethiopia”.
Chris Cohen, Los Campesinos!, Oneida, Bizhiki and Orquesta Akokán.
Sunshine drenched balladeering, fist-clenched EMO, experimental Pow Wow and Havana’s dancehalls.
Orquesta Akokán - Caracoles
This summer, if you are interested in the big band sounds of Havana’s dancehalls, my word, do we ever have a fresh slice for you…
Laraaji, The Cuca Label, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Cannonball Adderley, Lee Morgan and I Saw The TV Glow.
Full of sweet soul and jazz colossuses, with transcendental floats and soundtrack woozes inbetween.
Purple Mountains
Still brilliantly droll, still wryly insightful and still absolutely heartbreaking. Happy birthday to the eponymous Purple Mountains.
Cassandra Jenkins, Jake Xerxes Fussell, HighSchool, Joe Goddard, Cigarettes After Sex, ODESZA and Thom Yorke.
Some really lush vocals, a couple of big moods, big pop bounce and some cinematics too.
Shin Joong Hyun, Roberto Roena y su Apollo Sound, J Dilla, Mike Nyoni & Born Free, Donald Byrd, Wayne Shorter and Soul Jazz RASTAFARI.
A right little tour of wide world sounds. Toots, beats and clatter. Great stuff!
