The Lagaffe boys have a special one for you. Lagaffe 10 marks the 10th EP in our vinyl series and serves as a perfect way to end our 10th year in existence. To mark this occasion we are releasing a 4 tracker with our founders and label regulars. 

The EP opens up with Cohen Social Club by Flexi Leifs aka Felix Leifur. Our man Felix lost his drum machines last spring but luckily he found a guitar and some drums. The track starts off with suspicious sounding guitar notes that somehow up as pure beauty, giving hope in the darkest of places. Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean. Playful reverbs and echos give the tune the classic Felix Leifur feel to it! 

Moff & Tarkin has the next track "Pure Fury", some breakbeats and cheesy disco vocals, why change a winning recipe? 

Next up is "We are not alone " by label boss Jonbjörn. I think this is what Elton John meant when he said "thank god for those electro bangers!" Solid 909 drum work featuring dramatic chords and some original vocal work. If you can spot the sample write us on Soundcloud and you might win a year's worth of LaCafe Tales! 

With "Að handan" Viktor Birgiss comes back to the label in style. Our mastering engineer described it as having the loudest kickdrum in history, imagine that! Lo fi dub sounding drums interlaced with atmospheric chords, made for those late night intimate moments on the dancefloor, again Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean.

Where does urban electronics of high standards lead? As it should be, in a quarter with dilapidated squats, concrete walls painted with graffiti and, even worse, a weighty vibe of basements. Nothing else can be expected.

However, in addition to the culture of underground dancing, chock-full of bad boys and girls, something more is truly appreciated — a return to the basics, revealing the hegemony of the dirty rhythm section, the percussion of cult drum machines and short sampled replicas of Afro-Americans. The laudatory ode to the dashing nineties affirmatively flashed with a quartet, honed on the machine of time and skill to continue the thematic storyline.

The twelve-inch street vision is made according to the Golden Section of garage motifs and house, passioned by severe asceticism, a rough grin of a bass drum and chords of rare synthesizers. The update of rhythmic combinations gush with irrepressible energy flowing through the veins of missionaries and avid connoisseurs of the genre.

This music is so alive that even the stereo of an old Mercedes is languishing in anticipation of the next selection. The embodiment of excitement in a wild, numbered concept from GLBDOM!

Back To Basics 2

𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫

Various Artists - Back To Basics 2 [GDWAX003] 12''  /Preview/

The way too late Debut album of the English artist Dj Caant (FKA Dj C**t). This album has been on the shelve for 5 years now. This guy contacted me few years back with these carefully crafted tracks. I tried to help him get the tracks released but labels always backed out because of his name. He didn't want to change it, and would not release them under a different moniker, so nothing happened.

I still get requests regularly about the Dj Caant tracks that I played in my Dj mixes some years back. So I contacted him and we decided to just release them on Bandcamp + other tracks that have never seen the light of day. The tracks are extremely simple, raw and fully reflect the way this guy is.

Tracklist:
1. Hello
2. I c**t stop doing druqs
3. S**g anyway
4. Iceland makes me feel much better
5. I live in London now
6. Free SR tickets
7. Hey man, can I borrow some money again
8. It's a big world
9. Hey man, can I borrow some money again (Flexi Leifs remix)

Dj Caant - Debut (LSLP001)

Edition of 300 vinyl:

Just three years ago, the urgency of recognising Amy Dabbs’ talent was wide spread by Special Request, who included her track ‘Allure’ in his notable Splurgecore compilation. The word quickly got around, and since then her career has been a steep uphill trajectory with sets at Hor Berlin, collaborations with the likes of Coco Bryce, and countless features on BBC Radio 1 Dance.

The Bobcat Special EP demonstrates why, and proves her stylistic ambidexterity as she strays from her signature jungle-focused sound in favour of one centred on house. Through the course of four tracks, Dabbs incorporates ravey piano chords, soulful vocals and bubbly melodies into fun, strutting rhythms.

The Bobcat Special EP drops 31st March via Shall Not Fade.

An intergenerational meeting of minds, Galaxy is the first collaborative EP from Meanjin, Brisbane musicians Sam Poggioli aka Sampology and Charlie Hill. Equal parts brain dance and body music, Galaxy’s seven tracks represent a vivid intermingling of 70s jazz-funk, fusion, machine-funk, Latin house and broken beat, accented by flourishes of minimalist composition. Considered as a whole, it evokes the possibility and potential of a space-age future where technology and nature exist in simpatico. 

One of the most in-demand young jazz drummers in the Meanjin (Brisbane) music scene, Charlie started producing electronic music on his laptop three years ago. It was a vibe shift that hit him after several months spent immersing himself in Europe’s jazz and electronica scenes on the eve of the global coronavirus pandemic. After returning home, he approached Sam about recording some music together.

Sam, a well-travelled Australian DJ, producer and Worldwide FM radio host, was cautious about starting a new side project. However, when he heard his demos, he realised Charlie was blending rhythmic fundamentals he’d learned while completing a music degree with a beautifully wide-eyed approach to jazz-tinged electronica. 

With Charlie on drums and Sam on MPC, they set about recording the songs on Galaxy, along the way discovering Sam’s mother taught Charlie visual art as a child. They also learned that Charlie’s mother plays with Sam’s father in the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, synchronicities which made their collaboration feel like it was meant to be.

As part of the Galaxy sessions, Sam and Charlie collaborated with fellow Australian vocalists Tiana Khasi and Merinda Dias-Jayasinha. On ‘Constant Call’, Tiana threads neo-soul/modern soul melodies through a backdrop that sounds like Burial on a future jazz tip. ‘Merinda’, on the other hand, sees Merinda laying a repeated Steve Riech-style vocal refrain over a man/machine instrumental accented by stargazed synths.

At the same time as they were creating Galaxy, Charlie was also busy recording his debut solo EP Yore, both of which are due for release in August 2023, respectively, through Middle Name Records.

His debut LP, ‘Straight Foxin’, is a carefully curated and crafted journey showcasing the creative explosions firing off in his brain. Joining the dots between genres, taking elements from here, ideas from there – twisting and turning yet never out of place. It contains fourteen expertly executed tracks, ranging from hazy beats and jazz-tinged broken rhythms to club-ready groovers, deep excursions, soulful footwork and even some jungle energy. An LP that has long been in the works (and for good reason), it’s packed with a flavour for every occasion Straight Foxin, mad flexin – Retromigration has laid down the law with this LP, a debut album done right.
