For too long, Eska has been the greatest singer you've never heard of. She's performed with a staggering array of talent from Grace Jones to Cinematic Orchestra, Bobby McFerrin to Matthew Herbert - the latter also being the producer of her new, self-titled album along with Dave Okumu and Eska herself. Reflecting her history of flying way above any genre boundaries, the album skims effortlessly through classical, folk, Latin rhythms, Rotary Connection style cosmic soul, experimental soundscapes and, in this song, rugged and rootsy reggae... all capped off with THAT voice.

Dåbermann is an electronic collective, consisting of Chris Muller, Timo Schmitz and Niklas Froese. They used to meet every now and then to improvise using Ableton and various gear and instruments. 

Back in 2011 we were planning on an album release together so the guys packed up and booked a beatiful remote little house in the woods for two weeks as a creative retreat of sorts. On their way there a storm broke and one of them got hit by a lightning. Nothing bad happened but for obvious reasons they couldn't focus on recording music and that's about all there is to it :)

This recording of one of their jam sessions dates back from 2009 and it has definitely stood the test of time. Maybe someday new stuff will surface, you never know..

Certain things just keep on keeping on seemingly oblivious to era or genre, simply because they are an enduringly good idea - and Penguin Café are the perfect example. The original Penguin Café Orchestra was founded in 1972, created an amazing fusion of minimalist composition, folk, electronics and more - producing several Balearic classics along the way - and continued until founder Simon Jeffes' death 25 years later. However, in 2009, Jeffes's son Arthur picked up the baton, gathered a new set of musicians, and has continued the musical mission as simply Penguin Cafe. Their new EP, forthcoming on 13th April, includes a remix exchange with Japanese legend Cornelius - but it was this bittersweet piece that grabbed us, and we're very happy to have it as our Debut today.

Sit down kids, and let us regale you in a story. Back in the day (roughly around when BR was shaking off the last of its early UStream trappings) there was a consistently ahead-of-the-curve clubnight happening in Whitechapel, and later Peckham. It went by the name of Wholemeal, putting on sets by the likes of Blawan, John Heckle, Leif, Bake All Caps, Al Tourettes and plenty more besides, with one 'Esselle' holding down a regular slot warming up the dance. Well now Wholemeal are back, pivoting toward the honourable business of releasing records; Esselle has also gained a first initial. Happy days all round.

"Until She Spoke" melds a skippy rhythm, punchy drums and the kind of Rhodes or Rhodes-alike organ slope-offs into something super well-balanced and supremely enjoyable. In spite of the nearly 7m runtime, this little earworm whips by in flash, maxing out replay value. It's going to be the sound of spring, and most likely summer too. Cop it imminently on Wholemeal Music.

The offshoot label from one of our favourite clubnights in existence comes good yet again, with the second seriously weighty Debut from their side we've run in as many years. TIEF007 is the handiwork of fast-rising Manuel Fischer, a self-ascribed "Toolboy", and the do-over from Detroit's Amir Alexander is our pick of the litter.

Mr Alexander is a man so in thrall to the might and majesty of that raw acid sound that he's even set up a boutique imprint dedicated to just that, and like a true master he knows how to wield his weapons. The gurgling 303 doesn't overpower, instead shimmying round the original's distended voices and galloping groove, with a spare deployment of dry claps for good measure. There's a lovely bounce to the thing – it can be yours via Tief Music very soon indeed.
