Aptly titled, ‘Welcome’ is the debut album from Don Glori. A kaleidoscopic free dive into his world, featuring 8 recordings of revolving jazz, Brazilian, soul and funk inspired compositions spinning together and blurring into a genre bending slew of new music.

There is an intangible element of joy and connection sitting just outside the grasp of description or definition that can be felt throughout this album. Each song on this album captures the spirit and irrepressible energy that underpins the core of the Don Glori project. Imperfections are captured along with the moments of transcendence. Layers of vocal harmonies oscillate next to pulsating samba rhythms while spiritual overtones permeate throughout. Congas and percussion form a holy union with the drum kit, co-piloted by Don Glori’s own bass lines. Saxophones, horns and flutes flutter in between the musical canyons carved out by the piano and vibraphone. When you press all of these forces together you can start to feel the intangible; the intrinsic human elements existing in the creases. The sweat, excitement and willingness of each musician to dedicate their spirit and take risks on every track of this album.

Don Glori 'Welcome' LP is out Friday, October 14 via Bedroom Suck Records / Cargo UK / Dispatch Dept. (North America).

Modern Ruin Records proudly presents its debut release "Present Decay EP"
The first release of this London based record label is dedicated in showcasing some of the most talented and innovative artists making moves on the juke/footwork scenes around the world. 
The tracks featured range from warehouse bangers to disco jivers and will accommodate for a wide range of musical preferences and styles.

The first track is a rolling dancefloor destroyer from "Pawn" This regular player on the Shoot Recordings label is no stranger to dirty bass music and each release has seen him go from strength to strength with this newest release "Do U" being no exception.
With its rolling drums and heavy baseline this track drops like a stick of dynamite and will no doubt be followed by some crazy leg movements on dancefloors across the globe. 
 
The second track is from a true pioneer of juke music. His Label "Dynamix Records" has seen him pushing some of the best and brightest artists on the juke scene to date. "Matt Davis" AKA "The Renegades" brings us "The Warmup" a beautiful example of a juke/jungle hybrid which really shows his passion for the old skool while giving it a modern twist. His love for melodic soundscapes and jungle drums rings true throughout this track and will bring joy to all the old skool and new skool ravers alike.   

Track three is from one the most dynamic producers i have ever come across, it seems there is no style of music this man cannot make. Better known for his disco and house record labels "Vorres" AKA "sccucci manucci" has been a big part of the music industry for many years now and his releases span from deep house to garage to dubstep. "One of these old days" is a beautiful soul gospel take on juke and has a truly unique and a melodic sound that you will want to play again and again.   

Finally we have a brilliant upbeat disco/juke edit from "Sideswipe". This track would be just as at home on any disco dancefloor as it would be at a warehouse rave. "Be With U" has all the groove and funk anyone could ask for while still staying true to the juke format. "MUKATSUKU" label owner "Nik Weston" has already shown the track some love and incorporated this new sound into his future disco/funk sets. This final track rounds off a truly innovative and exciting EP which is one not to be missed.

Reserve the forthcoming vinyl on Juno Records now!

Folding Time is the second full length album from Machinedrum and Braille aka Sepalcure's for Scuba's Hotflush imprint. Fusions of footwork, dub, broken beat and futuristic pop all lay in wait, effortlessly fused together by intricate percussion and perfectly placed melodies.

The album, is comprised of a selection of brand new tracks and selection of revived tracks that have been brought out from the studio vaults. “Folding Time was an exercise in connecting the dots between our past and the present, ” the pair tell i-D, “it felt like we were connecting the present with the past. Going through each session was like digging through old memories.”

Photay and Sam O.B. collide once again for the second of two EPs this year under the moniker Ensemble Entendu. Pastoral Dusk Themes EP evokes images deep and rolling. Lead off ‘Hully Bully’ portrays a nighttime landscape turned into electric jelly jiggling to the beat of forlorn drums. Ensemble Entendu’s take on library music here expands to include the stoic cumbia inflections of ‘Ritmo Antiguo’ and the fourth world ambient reflections of ‘Loon Interlude’ and ‘Mascoma.’ Each track brings a palpable imagined geography, a space within which to think and feel emergent states of departure. ‘Lakeview’ finishes the release with a colorful, astral spaciousness, something like aurora borealis converted into synthesized sound.

Ensemble Entendu began as a collaborative project of Photay and Sam O.B. They set out exploring library music and the tradition of rhythm tracks, emphasizing driving drums and basslines in their stripped down productions. The Brooklyn-based producers are now shaping a music uniquely situated between their already unique solo artistic voices.

Pastoral Dusk Themes EP and its recently released companion Music For The Densely Populated, Vol. 2 are available for digital download via Astro Nautico.

Astro Nautico’s Atlantics X is a compilation celebrating a decade of the label’s existence and fundraising to provide financial assistance for its community members impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A wide range of beloved artists return to the label, including Photay, Time Wharp, Honey Oat, Michael Beharie, Lee Clarke, IGBO, Tatiana Heuman, Persona La Ave & Baraka, Andre Wiken, Basile3, and C. Form. Label co-founders Paul Jones (P X A), Sam O.B., and Kuhn all contribute new music in the tradition of the original Atlantics Vol. 1-3 compilations (’09-’13).

Astro Nautico’s first all-label compilation since 2013’s Atlantics Vol. 3, Atlantics X serves as an index of the artistic and curatorial development of a ten-year exploration of the interstices of genres, moods, and modes of musical creation.

From Photay’s chirping, thunderous dark mechanics on ‘Sea Urchin’ to Time Wharp’s feather light synth meditation ‘12-31-12,’ dynamic curves traverse a terrain of many sounds at many plateaus. Pop experimentalism in Michael Beharie, IGBO, and Sam O.B. sets a heartbeat that cracks, melts, and is resampled in the shattered electronics of Tatiana Heuman and fragmentary lo-fi trap of Kuhn, while Andre Wiken and C. Form differently treat the dancefloor as a space of reverie and intrigue.

Atlantics X is a crowning jewel of the mutual aid fund and fundraising campaign of the same name. Astro Nautico initiated this fundraiser in spring in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. All sales and streams of the Atlantics X compilation support members of the label's community with financial needs due to Covid-19. Since May, the label has published 12 projects, from singles and EPs to albums and contemplative dance videos, in this series. Astro Nautico has distributed $4,262.65 to date to fund recipients, with priority to BIPOC recipients.
