... I can't stop listening. Their sound has been coined "sloppy pop" and that's pretty spot-on (only in the best sense of the word, sort of like the Unicorns.)" - Gorilla vs Bear. WA-21288685|2013 Japanese pressing. Sony. WA-14186042|More than just dubstep: Funckarma make this genre theirs & re-write it's foundation anew with this barrier breaking record.

Almost ten years have passed since Funckarma's first records on the Djak-UP Bitch label but the Funcken brothers haven't shown any sign of fatigue along the way. WA-36024544|A 9-inch teaser single to the upcoming W album from Planningtorock (aka JANINE ROSTRON). One doesn't hear a record like W very often, that's for sure, just as one seldom encounters an artist like Rostron. In the grip of W's melodrama and uncommon beauty, suddenly all those clichTs make sense: this album stops listeners in their tracks, blows their minds and makes them feel alive. From the pulse and jabbing pizzicatos on "Doorway"-the album's opening track-Rostron unveils the album's unsettling yet heady allure. B-side is the passionate gem "The Breaks." Pressed on limited edition blue 9-inch vinyl. WA-15994516|Indy only.

WA-13481803|LA based producer Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals front man and solo star Gruff Rhys, has joined forces to create a new group Neon Neon. Their startlingly original debut album Stainless Style is themed around and inspired by the incredible, colorful life of the world's first playboy engineer, John DeLorean. The ballsy businessman dealt in high stakes, borrowing enormous sums of money [including ú85 million from the British Government] in order to fulfill his lifelong dream of building an automotive empire. His crowning glory, the iconic DMC-12, better known as simply 'The DeLorean', was fittingly immortalized as Marty and Doc's time machine in legendary 80s movie Back to the Future. WA-31414845|Following the critically acclaimed third album 'Poverty', 'Dialogues' is the new full-lenght of the Manchester-inspired indie rock band Motorama. Brilliantly catchy and addictive songs that remains sunner despite Vlad's deep and dark voice. 'their "sthetic is rooted in early's 80s independent music, and suggests the moment when Joy Division morphed into New Order, the early recordings of The Smiths or even a more desolate Interpol." Q "Uncannily, for a band from a southern port near the Ukraine border, Motorama resemble a bunch of New Yorkers emulating the sound of 80s Manchester. It would be preposterous if the result didn't sound so sublime." BBC 6 WA-31615594|180 gram audiophile vinyl edition of this much sought after 1969 Pussy album. This repress is on CREAM vinyl. A real deal heavy psych classic! WA-31610223|With many new roads traveled over the last few years, The Gaslamp Killer is back with the full-length LP Instrumentalepathy. GLK will initiate his new imprint Cuss Records with Instrumentalepathy. French surrealism artist Albane Simon designed the cover, supplying an array of psychedelic imagery that contains a brilliant sense of connection to GLK's music & the chaos he's survived. Instrumentalepathy features an impressive cast of artists tied closely to GLK over his music career with Brainfeeder, Low End Theory and beyond. Guests include Gonjasufi, Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Niki Randa, Kid Moxie, Mophono, Amir Yaghmai and The Heliocentrics. It's been over a decade since GLK and Gonjasufi have collaborated on new music, bringing the two natives of San Diego back together for something truly special. As many know, GLK used the triumphs of battling a near death experience three years ago when shaping his debut Cuss Records album. A handful of the tracks were even captured from his bed, unable to walk, with morphine running through his veins and staples in his body. A musical illumination that one could argue helped save his life and steared him towards the achievements he has accumulated with his live band The Gaslamp Killer Experience. Instrumentalepathy marks the catalyst point of an important road for GLK and the electronic community at large. Instrumentelephy, like his latest releases, continues down the rabbit hole of his debut full length Breakthrough (Brainfeeder) and the recent live record with his band The Gaslamp Killer Experience. Molding psychedelic ethos and heavy drum breaks with the traditional music language of his ancestors and the futuristic landscapes of modern electronica, GLK continues to push the boundaries of contemporary music. WA-32003369|The Neon Judgement hail from the small town of Leuven near Brussels, Belgium and gave birth to the New Beat and EBM scenes worldwide with the release of their first two cassettes 'Suffering' (1981) and 'TV Treated' (1982). Always a consistent duo of Dirk Da Davo (synthesizers, vocals) and TB Frank (guitar, drum machine, vocals) The Neon Judgment worked in a parallel world alongside Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, and the Deutsche Neue Welle.In 1983 they released the infamous 4-song 'Cockerill-Sombre' EP containing the dance-floor smash "The Fashion Party" on Anything But Records. Dirk Da Davo says, "First we recorded and mixed the drum parts and effects on 4-track, then we bounced this mix to 2 tracks again what left us with 2 more channels to use for vocals and additional instruments." Veering between minimalistic industrial drones, odd new wave-ish synth pop and dance music, underlain by cold, mechanical rhythms. The band combine brash and seedy lyrics, with raw synthesizer stabs and repetitive drum machine beats both aggressive and danceable. 'Cockerill-Sombre' was recorded in a small basement room under the watchful eyes of Ludo Camerberlin from A Blaze Colour.All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring a black and white photo of the duo performing live. Each copy includes a 2-sided 11" square insert with photos of the band, lyrics, and liner notes by Dirk Da Davo. WA-33086224|Limited double transparent red vinyl LP pressing of the classic 2011 Theocracy album As The World Bleeds. Theocracy is a Christian progressive power metal band founded in 2002 by Matt Smith of Athens, Georgia. Since its inception, Theocracy has released four studio albums and has undergone five line-up changes. The group originally started out as a one-man project and all the instruments and vocals done on the debut album Theocracy were performed by Smith. Musically, the band mixes the power metal style of Edguy, Iced Earth, and Helloween with progressive influences from bands such as Dream Theater, Symphony X, Kansas and Rush. WA-33149950|This album of duos stands out as one of a kind; recorded during a phase in which he began to consistently incorporate a freer musical language into his playing, and set within a constellation of diverse duo formations, there emerges an exciting portrait of the central figure in German jazz: Albert Mangelsdorff. With tongue in cheek û or better said û in mouthpiece, Mangelsdorff accompanies Don Cherry on a journey that culminates in a zany duel staged almost without instruments. With his close friend Elvin Jones, Mangelsdorff unfurls so many melodic and metric parameters that one could believe they are listening to a full combo that dissolves conventional time patterns into kaleidoscopic polyrhythms, whereas the colorful tonal confrontation between Karl BergerÆs agile, inspired vibes and the questioning, challenging trombone stands out as a lesson in Avant-garde brainstorming. A rollicking, mischievous nocturne intertwined with a bit of mystery is woven out of the conversation between MangelsdorffÆs trombone and Attila ZollerÆs dreamy guitar play. Because a long, close artistic partnership conjoins Saxophonist Lee Konitz and Mangelsdorff, they seem to be able to breath with one breath as they generate the synergetic dynamics and dramaturgy of their short ôAl û Leeö. On the albumÆs last piece, a lyrical, bluesy sensibility shines through pianist Wolfgang DaunerÆs and MangelsdorffÆs interplay. Recorded over an 18 month period, the album paints an intimate, playful portrait of one of the most significant personalities in jazz û not just ômade in Germanyö, but mirrored in the contrasting styles and close friendships of his fellow musicians. WA-33414041|Originally released in 1977, now 40 years later, and the debut album is as fresh as it ever was, and as raw. This anniversary edition is fully authorized, remastered, and comes with beautiful cover restoration, and a bonus insert. A true punk rock treasure WA-35791577|An unrivalled compendium on disc of the BeethovenÆs compositional laboratory, full of experiments that would be refined throughout his career to create the pianoÆs æNew TestamentÆ of 32 sonatas. Under the title of æearly variationsÆ, Alessandro Commellato has brought together all those theme with variation sets for solo and four hands piano that were not included in the main catalogue of Beethoven's compositions. In fact not all of them are early: the imposing C minor 32 Variations WoO80 are the best-known work here, composed as late as 1806, and the sets on Rule Britannia and God save the King were written a year or two earlier, and perhaps not only for commercially expedient reasons, given BeethovenÆs admiration for the British resistance to the proclamation of the French Empire. More common, however, are the variation sets where Beethoven was establishing his voice and refining his technique by exercising his imagination on melodies from popular marches and operas by GrTtry, Paisiello and Mozart. The composer used these works to curry favour with patrons such as Prince Lichnowsky; even on occasion as dedicatory gifts in order to make amends for his notoriously obstreperous behaviour, such as the variations on a Dittersdorf arietta, æEs war einmalÆ (Once upon a time) which he gave in the summer of 1792 to Eleonore von Breuning, daughter of Maria Helena, who had welcomed the young wayward artist into her home. Alessandro Commellato uses an 1823 fortepiano by Joseph B÷hm, a Viennese piano-maker whose instruments were known to Beethoven, bestowing on this recording an unusual degree of authenticity. He is a specialist in historically informed performances of Viennese Classicism: previous discs for Brilliant Classics include music by BeethovenÆs pupils such as the cello sonatas of Ferdinand Ries and piano concertos by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. WA-35800439|Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Bart Skills, one of HollandÆs most sought after techno artists and relentless Drumcode contributor, has now released his sixth EP Bells Of The Revolution on the Swedish label. For years his releases have been a staple in none other than label founder Adam Beyeræs own DJ sets and mixes. He has reached such acclaim that over 15 thousand gather yearly in Amsterdam for his gigantic outdoor festival, Voltt Loves Summer, put on by his own Voltt imprint. The most notable on his robust, four-part EP is its the title track. With its dynamic, melodic repertoire of synthesized bells awakening from a jarring acid bass line, the driving techno track is brims with dark delight. WA-35856405|Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Respuesta Alternativa or the Alternative Response was the project of Spanish musician Jesus M¬ Catalan, created with the help of Julißn C. PTrez.As the title implies the music was generated in response to traditional music notions of the time, and reflects how Jesus M¬ Catalan would challenge these traditional ideals using a fusion of styles and his unique vision. Jesus laid out his synths and drum machines, while other musicians played traditional instruments over the top. This unique approach worked to create atmospheric tracks capturing simple themes, with each influence being carefully thought of in the joint result.As he explains "each instrument weaves independently throughout a passage in a curious game where the listener's attention goes from focusing on a keyboard, guitar to bass or percussion. Previously only released on a cassette album in Spain, Left Ear have polished 5 choice cuts for a 2018 12". WA-35885078|Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Fresh off the heels of his groundbreaking album The Reflecting Sea with MC, Raw Poetic, Damu the Fudgemunk's latest collaboration is with longtime friend and fan favorite, Flex Mathews. Preparing to drop their album in the coming months, the 2 have assembled a hearty EP consisting of 2 cuts and specially arranged instrumentals from the upcoming full length entitled, Vibrations & Dreams. Featuring the lead singles "Burners" and "The Answer is Yes," the EP is sure to reel in hip-hop fans and music aficionados alike. Some may remember Flex Mathews from the Damu produced cult classics, The Handsome Grandson EP (self released) and Live from Wonka Beats (Redef). Others may have encountered him on the road during his busy tour schedule or his recent debut solo album, Hi, I'm Flex Mathews with Unown (Oddisee's Good Company). Both Flex and Damu have found ways to individually and collectively garner interests in their talents. With a running time of over 35 minutes, it was only fitting to call this release an EP. Launching the A-side is, "Burners" featuring California rap pillar, Blu of Blu & Exile fame and Boston's finest himself, Insight (Y Society). The three MC's spark the mic in a charismatic lyrical exhibition showcasing distinct styles from each personality. Providing the track, Damu the Fudgemunk locks a tight groove fusing ambient atmospheric noises and worldly textures for 10 minutes and counting with extended DJ solos. All 4 parties reach the top of their games on Burners and create a one of a kind sound for hip-hop in 2018. The posse cut is complimented, by the crowd pleasing call & response anthem, "The Answer is Yes". This time, Flex is joined on the mic by his DJ, Damu. The duo presents a confident and fun perspective into staying positive and living the good life. WA-36401765|Vinyl LP pressing. From the dazzling imagination of writer-director David Robert Mitchell, who brought you It Follows, comes a delirious neo-noir fever dream about one man's search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders, and disappearances in his East L.A. neighborhood.

MASS are legends in the New England area and have a good strong following in the USA & Europe where they have released eight studio albums on labels such as A&M, RCA and Enigma.

WA-36825356|Twelve inch vinyl pressing. With MEL013, Melodies International are extremely proud to bring you at last, a disco anthem from Detroit that was originally recorded in 1980 and dedicated to the "King Of The Champion Fighters": Le Stim - A Tribute to Muhammad Ali (We Crown The King). Le Stim was a band formed by lead vocalist Donald Jennings in the late 70s. Now an ordained deacon back in Detroit, Jennings was brought up in a gospel environment and was said to be born to sing. Growing up picking up songs from the likes of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald or Sam Cooke, Jennings frequently performed for family and friends and went on to sing for audiences in New York, St. Louis and all-around Detroit. We Crown The King is a song written in the mid-70s by the late Herbert Andrei Duncan, also from Detroit. Duncan approached Jennings with the song who was initially reluctant to sing it because it took him out of his usual vocal range. However, Duncan finally (thankfully!) managed to persuade Jennings after five years to record a tune that would prove to become a party anthem decades later. Licensing this record has proven to be Melodies' biggest research effort as of yet and has involved visiting it's author, Duncan's former house in Detroit only to discover it had burned down and that his family had moved years ago. It wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable help of Jeremy from Rain & Shine records (NZ) who then managed to track down the family back in Texas! WA-36872275|Swedish action punk band Scumbag Millionaire is an extension of the classic scandi-rock scene which had its prime in the late '90s. The scene fell quiet for a while, but with people starting to crave new acts, someone had to pick up where it left off. The band was formed in 2014. Various European tours, a bunch of 7" singles, multiple music videos and thousands of hours in the rehearsal space has taken them to where they are today, making their way through Europe like a bulldozer in form of their black Chevy van.During 2017 Scumbag Millionaire played several eminent festivals around Europe, such as ScumBash (NL), Zwarte Cross (NL) and Rock im Wald (DE). They have also been the opening act for bands like Nashville Pussy and Zeke. WA-36923809|During GRAVEWORM's illustrious career they released three albums through German label Nuclear Blast.

WA-36953967|Fred Ziomek (DARKEST HOUR/LOWER CLASS BRATS) and Todd Cooper (HOLY FEVER), who have known each other since college, were active participants in the Virginia hardcore scene but it wasn't until both had relocated to Los Angeles that they reconnected and took the first steps in starting a band together. Todd had originally left Virginia to became an evangelical youth pastor but he came to start questioning his religion and eventually proceeded to distance himself from the church as his views began to spin a 180. A great deal of the lyrics on GODCOLLIDER's debut point to the hypocrisy that he saw and the music became the canvas for his vitriol. Bringing in other co-conspirators, Neeraj Kane (HOPE CONSPIRACY/SUICDE FILE) and Sam Stothers (NARROWS, R.O.C.) presented a perfect opportunity for old friends and new alike to collaborate on something fun but also reflective of the times we are living in. A driving, heavy debut that is just the beginning. WA-37013028|2019 Japanese EP release from Bob Dylan in 7-inch Blue-color vinyl format from Sony's new manufacturing system. WA-37017255|Fixed Fight has been active in the Danish hardcore scene since 2011 (formerly known as Torment), playing the brand of new school and blackened hardcore with a deep powerful growling vocal. The lyrics of Fixed Fight pertain primarily to criticism pointed at capitalist society and the inherent contradictions found within. They address, amongst other things, the subjugation and alienation of the individual and how opportunities of critical reflection are stifled through droning, second rate mass culture. The band's first release saw the light of day in 2015 in the form of the EP "Fear of Missing out". The EP was critically acclaimed and the band toured intense in Denmark in the wake of its release. Performing live is essential to Fixed Fight and the band will stop at nothing when it comes to delivering an unparalleled and sonically violent performance. The band has supported hardcore acts such as Pay No Respect, The Hell, Egos At The Door and Darko. In spring 2017 the band played their first Europe tour. In spring 2018 Fixed Fight recorded their debut full-length record. It was produced and engineered by Patrick Fragtrup in Wolf Rider Sound Production, who has also produced bands such as Redwood Hill and Barricade. WA-37046101|Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Austin hip-hop beatrepreneur The Deli made serious waves with previous Cold Busted album Vibes 3. This track shook up the Spotify world with over 14 million plays and inclusion on at least 500 playlists.

Filled with the smoked-out, laid-back cut-and-paste rhythmology that The Deli is known for, Jazz Cat contains 15 enticing beat compositions. The title cut shows where heÆs at, transmitting an old-is-new-again feel through scratchy snare snaps, looping piano chords, and faraway ù both in time and place ù city sounds. Other highlights include the dreamy lounge pressure of ôVirgo Flip,ö ôFractalsö and its shimmering vibraphone atmospheres coproduced by Lungfulls, the æhip-hop party happening down the streetÆ vibe of ôSpring,ö and the crucial, jazzy beat construction of ôGoing Home.ö Dig in à wIth Jazz Cat, The Deli trips the night fantastic. WA-37052553|Following his seminal release Sand in 1977, Swedish experimental composer Ragnar Grippe worked on various art and performance commissions, often returning to Stockholm during the summer months to focus his efforts on his compositional practice. It was there at the famed EMS Studios where he began employing the Buchla synthesizer and the facilities multi-tracking capabilities as new instruments to map his mining of sound and movement.During the late 1970's, Grippe formed a creative collaboration with choreographer Susan Buirge, specifically writing compositions for her works "Restes" and "Tamis
