Warriors Of The Dystotheque – It’s A Beautiful Thing

It’s a Beautiful Thing is a quietly celebratory, subtly uplifting collection of tunes, specially sequenced for the delight of listeners on the vinyl format, from a band with members based in Northern Ireland , England and Florida, USA. There are elements of Balearic, Jazz, Library Music and electronica all fused in a mad transatlantic mash up. 

Various – John Gomez & Nick The Record Present : Tangent

Tangent is a London club night that’s been going for over ten years. The only DJs are the residents – super deep selectors John Gomez and Nick The Record. They range far and wide with their selections and often go off at, um, beautiful musical tangents. This compilation transports listeners to the heart of a pure musical experience, where open minds and open hearts are eager to follow the groove, wherever it goes. 

Glenn Echo & Daniel Meineke – What Happened To Yesterday? Vol 1

Straight out of Detroit on one of our favourite labels – Motor City Wine. Here, cosmic and dubby grooves, strange stories and themes bouce off psychedelic hip hop and muscular downtempo joints, making this bright and uncategorisable collection of songs and sketches a surprise winner from note one.

Nicola Conte  & Joaquin Joe Claussell – Umoja (Sacred Rhythm Music & Cosmic Arts Remixes)

New York City house music icon Joe Claussell has embarked on an epic and electrifying project of ecstatic, spiritual club music – a double album of reinterpretations of the music of Italian jazz master Nicola Conte’s 2023 album Umoja. It’s percussive, wild and extraordinarily uplifting.
