Ever since she migrated from pitching editors on the little-known music of Robert Nesta Marley to becoming one of the foremost chroniclers of the perfect storm of reggae, punk, hiphop and Afro-Beat, the London-born, New York-based Vivien Goldman has made documenting music her primary life work.  But between 1979-82, Goldman was also a working musician, creating songs that, years later, would be sampled by The Roots and Madlib. These rare girl grooves are now collected for the first time on 'Resolutionary', courtesy of Staubgold Records.

Vivien Goldman: Launderette

The waiting has paid off: With only their second album Telebossa have succeeded where others often need a life’s work - namely the creation of their own musical language. While Chico Mello and Nicholas Bussmann were still exploring the Bossa tradition through role models such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, and Joao Gilberto on their debut album from 2011, their mixture of Brazilian style elements and New Music has now become a model in its own right.

Telebossa: Funeral De Um Lavrador

Telebossa’s Nicholas Bussmann is once again, after 2012’s "Like You", transforming into Nicholas Desamory to release “You only need to know how it feels to believe” – a House album of such warmth and rough elegance, it will leave the scene all excited. House has always been an open genre, allowing to sample, adapt and incorporate other styles. On “You only need to know how it feels to believe”, it’s the reduced string and vocal arrangements that lead to this album’s specific sound – the warmth – and evoke at the same time the great Norman Whitfield and the infamous Arthur Russell. This is how House music has to be in 2016 !

Jan Jelinek, Hanno Leichtmann and Andrew Pekler have formed a trio that can truly be called a supergroup. As solo artists, all three members are among the most renowned of Berlin's electronic musicians. When playing together as Groupshow the three instrumentalists - themselves largely informed by minimalist sensibilities - engage with the idiom of free-form collective improvisation, which has a long tradition in Germany dating back to the days of Fluxus and Krautrock. Consequentially the individual members' roles are not entirely fixed.

"Live At Skymall" was recorded live in Berlin and Lisbon in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
