Wise Up

© 2013 Secret Stash Records (uploaded with permission)

While Secret Stash has been in the business for several years releasing a number of gems ranging from the soul of America to reggae takes on Miles Davis and acoustic Peruvian folk music, they are now focusing some effort on new music as well. Longtime Secret Stash fans rest easy, though. They are still going to continue to mine the vaults the world over to find long-forgotten but essential music.

One of their first new music releases is coming out this September courtesy of Black Market Brass. The band and label both hail from Minneapolis. Secret Stash, which has a very DIY approach to their label, often hosts record-release assembly parties where the local community is invited to come to their offices and assemble the records and album sleeves in return for pizza and beer. It was through several of these that Eric Foss, VP of Marketing and Sales for Secret Stash, met Mitch Sigurdson, one of the founding members of the band.

Sigurdson assembled some friends and local talent to play a variety of styles, often Ghanian highlife and funk. Per Foss, “I think it took a little while for them to realize that they play Afrobeat as well or better than most of the bands out there doing it today. I watched as they transitioned from playing spot-on covers of Fela and Tony Allen to writing their own material.”

This past April, the band headed to the studio to record some original material. Coincidentally, the band picked up a new baritone sax player, Cole Pulice, who was already working with Sonny Knight & the Lakers and Dérobé Dance Band, bands whose original material also will be seeing releases from the label. In a single afternoon, they cut the two tracks heard on the upcoming 45.

“Snake Oil Man” is heavy Nigerian madness. You can bet that it’s no beginners luck. Check out the flip side, “Big Muffler," on Secret Stash’s SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/secretstashrecords/black-market-brass-big-muffler). If this is their first swing at the genre, you can expect some exciting material in the future from Black Market Brass who has enough original material already for a full LP.

We reached out to Pierre Chrétien from Souljazz Orchestra, who knows his way around an Afrobeat tune, to hear his thoughts on the band’s sound. Says Chrétien, “It sounds amazing. Definitely no lack of sweat and stink here!” No disagreements here.

Aear0n Releases New Album The Empty Club: A Meditative Soundscape Honoring Solitude, Healing, and the Soul of Space
Soft Release on May 31, 2025 – Marking His 31st Birthday.

German-based electronic producer Aear0n returns with a deeply personal new album titled The Empty Club, available via soft release on Soundcloudon May 31, coinciding with the artist’s 31st birthday. Aear0n, who blends elements of ambient, melodic techno, and future garage, offers an intimate musical journey exploring the soul of space, the echoes of memory, and the profound beauty of existence—even in its most silent corners.

With the title The Empty Club, Aear0n invites listeners to contemplate a world in which even lifeless spaces are alive with presence. “Everything has a soul,” he explains. “Even an empty club keeps listening—still connected to the world outside its walls.” The album reflects a meditative awareness: a reverence for life, nature, and the emotional landscapes that live within and around us.

This theme is no abstraction for Aear0n. Before returning to music production in 2023, he worked as a nurse in an emergency unit specializing in psychiatric and neurological care. That experience—bearing witness to raw vulnerability, human crisis, and quiet resilience—directly shapes the emotional honesty that runs through his music. Each track pulses not just with sound but with lived empathy.

Aear0n’s previous work, including the immersive LP Illicit Legacy, has garnered recognition for its cinematic scope and emotional authenticity. His residency on Paranoise Radio showcases his ability to bridge deep, atmospheric electronic music with storytelling rooted in mental health and psychological exploration. His guiding principle, expressed through the hashtag #musicformentalhealth, is to make music that soothes, reveals, and connects.

The Empty Club is available for streaming and download on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. This release is more than a collection of tracks—it’s a space for reflection, healing, and finding beauty in stillness.
