Charlie Hill

Yore
Middle Name (Netherlands), 2023. New Copy
Lean and bubbling rhythms from Charlie Hill – a set of tracks recorded with a slightly different approach on each number, but which comes together nicely in a style that's very much Charlie's own! The record almost feels as if Hill went through other clubby modes of the early 21st Century, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nicola Conte

Umoja
Far Out (UK), 2023. New Copy
Richly soulful sounds from Nicola Conte – his first album for Far Out Records, but a set that shows the spiritual journey he's been on for the past decade or so on a variety of other labels! Conte has really matured into a jazz visionary – using the same energy here with live musicians ... CD
Stix (France), 2023. New Copy
A long-overdue fifth entry in this wonderful series – and a set that offers up reggae-styled takes on tunes by Bobby Caldwell, Cerrone, Labelle, KC & The Sunshine Band, and other 70s club giants! As with the previous volumes, the music here is served up by a variety of different artists ... LP, Vinyl record album

Towa Tei

Touch
Columbia (Japan), 2023. New Copy
Really wonderful work from Towa Tei – an artist who's lost none of the charms that first made us fall in love with him when he was a member of Deee Lite! As with his earlier solo material, this set's got a wonderful combination of sounds, samples, and styles – that quality that has ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sunaga T Experience

Crouka
Cutting Edge/Lawson (Japan), 2001. New Copy 2LP
The jazzy genius of Tatsuo Sunaga gets turned in a cool direction here – as the set's an imagined soundtrack for the voyage of Crouka – the dog who disappeared from the launch of the Soviet rocket Soyuz2! That story hardly needs to be part of the description, though – as the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Lawson (Japan), 2023. New Copy
DJ Kawasaki has given the world plenty of great club tracks over the years – but here, he reworks his music in a variety of different styles – sometimes funk, sometimes soul, sometimes a bit of jazz – all with a level of expression that really takes us back to that moment when the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Psyche

Psyche
Four Flies (Italy), 2023. New Copy
Excellent work from a group who really live up to their name – as they bring some sweet psychedelic touches to music that's a warm blend of jazz and funk, with slight Latin inflections – often handled with a looseness that allows for some nicely flowing passages on guitar, and with ... LP, Vinyl record album
BBE (UK), 2023. New Copy Gatefold
One of the most fantastic albums in years from the mighty Kirk DeGiorgio – a set that draws upon 70s sound library influences as a way for Kirk to really unfurl some of the jazziest elements in his music! Way back when nobody was ever referencing jazz for club tracks, DeGiorgio was always ... LP, Vinyl record album

Kaidi Tatham

Insight To All Minds
First Word (UK), 2021. New Copy 2LP
An album that sparkles with joy and life from the very first note – but that's also what we've really come to expect from Kaidi Tatham in all the many years he's given us music! Tatham is one of a few key talents from the London scene at the start of the century to continue to stay vital and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Leones

Voyage
Star Creature, 2023. New Copy
Mighty nice work from Leones – an Italian duo, but one whose sound is a perfect fit for the Star Creature label – as they come across here with a really cosmic blend of drums and keyboards, often cut with plenty of jazz! The drums are live at most moments, which really opens up the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tomorrow Comes The Harvest

Evolution
Axis, 2023. New Copy
A very cool project – one that was initiated by the late Tony Allen in collaboration with Detroit keyboardist/percussionist Jeff Mills – and which is carried forth here by a trio with a really soaring, far-reaching vibe! Percussion is at the core – played both by Mills and by ... CD

Mark De Clive-Lowe, Shigeto, & Melanie Charles

Hotel San Claudio
Soul Bank (UK), 2023. New Copy
A continuing step forward on the long and fantastic journey of keyboardist Mark De Clive-Lowe – and a set that definitely resonates with his growing commitment to spiritual jazz, but which also has some of the more cosmic elements that first made us fall in love with his music! The set's a ... CD

Sohan Wilson

Love Is The Key
Visions (UK), 2022. New Copy
Two different slices of sound from keyboardist Sohan Wilson – both of them equally great! Side one of the record features a live jazzy combo working with Sohan – creating these cool jazz funk numbers that are steeped in 70s tradition, but which have a very contemporary cosmic vibe ... LP, Vinyl record album

Cosmic Renaissance (Gialuca Petrella)

Universal Language
Schema (Italy), 2022. New Copy
A really wonderful project from Gianluca Petrella – one that seems to take all the deeper currents he used in his work with Nicola Conte, and push them even farther here on his own! There's a righteous depth to the record we never would have expected from Petrella a few years before – ... CD
My Bags/P-Vine (Japan), 2016. New Copy
CD...$4.99 24.99
An even deeper set than Medline's previous record – still very much in the mode of classic jazz and fusion styles, but done much more in his own voice as well – to a point where it's far more than just a rehash of familiar sounds from the 70s! Instead, Medline almost re-imagines ... CD
Ninja Tune (UK), 2002. New Copy 3LP Gatefold
The second album by Cinematic Orchestra – and a Ninja Tune classic! The group lives up to its name here, witth sweeping soundscapes that build slowly and set the mood just so. They seem to be exploring a slightly more jazzy/soulful route this go 'round, and are joined on 2 tracks by soul ... LP, Vinyl record album

Flying Lotus

Flamagra
Warp, 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Fantastic sounds from Flying Lotus – an artist who just keeps on pushing past any conventional expectations, to a point where his music is almost a genre unto itself! The record's got this very tripped-out sort of vibe – very much in keeping with the image on the cover – and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nickodemus

Soul & Science
Wonderwheel, 2023. New Copy
Nickodemus wasn't the first to blend together a world's worth of influences with contemporary rhythms and production, but over the years, he's definitely risen to the top of the game – especially as he's moved into more subtle territory like this! The record is nicely freed from the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Tresor/BMG (Germany), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Maybe one of the most important records in years from Waajeed – a set that really lets his deeper side flow out in full-length territory – all those wonderful elements he's brought to the Detroit underground over the years, given a righteous message, and delivered with a heft that's way ... LP, Vinyl record album
BBE (UK), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
An incredible tribute to the legendary Strata Records in Detroit – performed by Jazzanova with a host of other guests – and at a level that's maybe the greatest thing the group has ever given us on record! The vibe here is a lot more Strata and spiritual than the style you'd expect ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jazztronik

Universal Language
Toyoka/Lawson (Japan), 2022. New Copy
Jazztronik are sounding really wonderful here – maybe even with more jazz than in the early days, thanks to the increasing piano and keyboard skills of leader Ryota Nozaki! In fact, even the structure of the record is more jazz-based than before – really just a trio lineup, with bass ... LP, Vinyl record album

DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson

2+
Hot Casa (France), 2022. New Copy 2LP
A set that's as warm and sunny as the image on the cover – one that continues the mix of global elements and contemporary production from this very hip team! There's a vibe here that's almost like some of the Africanism tracks from the French scene in years back – that is, with more of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Daft Punk

Homework
Virgin, 1996. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)
The album that started the whole Daft Punk legend back in the day! At this point, the duo are maybe wearing their classic funk influences a bit more strongly – with plenty of 80s basslines and keyboards next to some more conventional clubby elements – but handled with a lot more depth ... LP, Vinyl record album
BBE (UK), 2017. New Copy 2LP
Osunlade's always had a sound that's deep, but this time around his entire approach seems even deeper than ever – maybe because this lavish package is as much a visual treat as it is an audio one! The set's as much of a book as it is a record – a heavy, hardcover package that has ... LP, Vinyl record album
BBE (UK), 2022. New Copy 3LP Gatefold
A wonderful setting for the talents of UK saxophonist Sean Khan – a set that features some great tracks from the John Coltrane songbook, plus original material too – all served up in that cosmic version of future jazz that we've loved from some of Sean's previous albums! Yet there's ... LP, Vinyl record album

Four Tet

New Energy
Text, 2017. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Some of the lushest, most melodic material from Four Tet yet – straight up beautiful for the most part – and a pretty strong contender for his best to date! He's blending electronics and more natural sounds in ways that aren't out of character given his past work, but the title is ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ash Walker

Astronaut
Night Time Stories (UK), 2023. New Copy
A London record that bristles strongly with all the best sorts of criss-crossing cultural energy that's been taking place on the city's scene over the past decade or so – jazz mixing with new production modes, soulful vocals reaching cosmic sonic territory, and rhythms unlocked from more ... LP, Vinyl record album

Matthias Vogt Trio

Pianissimo
Infracom (Germany), 2022. New Copy 2LP
Beautiful sounds from pianist Matthias Vogt – an artist we first came to know through his Re:Jazz projects many years back, but who's evolved here into a much more personal, sensitive artist! In a way, the shift is a bit like that of Bugge Wesseltoft – another artist schooled in jazz, ... LP, Vinyl record album
Infracom (Germany), 2022. New Copy 2LP
It's hard to believe that the German Infracom label has been around for 30 years – maybe because the label was so future-thinking at the start, they helped set the tone for so much music to come! And if you're not hip to Infracom, the collection's a chance to dig the label in all its glory ... LP, Vinyl record album
Schema (Italy), 2022. New Copy (pic cover)
Two of our favorite mixers take on some great work from Nicola Conte – each making the tunes very much their own! DJ Spinna brings plenty of soul to "New World Shuffle" – letting the tune crackle and build over the long space of eight minutes – while Bridgette Amofah ... 12-inch, Vinyl record
Monsterrat House, 2023. New Copy
The record's got a cover that's very different than the lush, stylish imagery used on so many of the Thievery Corporation records that Eric Hilton crafted over the years – and the sound here is nicely different too – maybe stripped down to some core elements, with a focus on the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Cosmic Renaissance (Gialuca Petrella)

Universal Language
Schema (Italy), 2022. New Copy Gatefold
A really wonderful project from Gianluca Petrella – one that seems to take all the deeper currents he used in his work with Nicola Conte, and push them even farther here on his own! There's a righteous depth to the record we never would have expected from Petrella a few years before – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Hamish Balfour

Running Colours
Shapes Of Rhythm (UK), 2022. New Copy
A set that's as colorful and abstract as the image on the cover – one that has Hamish Balfour working on both keyboards and percussion, but breaking things down a lot from conventional jazz – changing up the rhythms, shifting up the sound, and maybe hitting a mode that's somewhere ... LP, Vinyl record album

Various

Granito
Jazzego (Portugal), 2022. New Copy
A mighty nice selection of tracks from the contemporary underground in Porto – work that's much warmer, acoustic, and jazz-based than you might guess from the image on the cover – and which, together, is so wonderful that we're thinking of booking a trip to Portugal, just to visit this ... LP, Vinyl record album

Psyche

Psyche
Four Flies (Italy), 2023. New Copy
Excellent work from a group who really live up to their name – as they bring some sweet psychedelic touches to music that's a warm blend of jazz and funk, with slight Latin inflections – often handled with a looseness that allows for some nicely flowing passages on guitar, and with ... CD
K7 (Germany), 2022. New Copy 2CDs
A very different entry in the DJ Kicks series than usual – as Theo Parrish has created a whole new set of exclusive tracks – working with his underground contemporaries to make a record that's bristling with energy at every twist and turn! And although this series usually comes across ... CD
BBE (UK), 2022. New Copy
An incredible tribute to the legendary Strata Records in Detroit – performed by Jazzanova with a host of other guests – and at a level that's maybe the greatest thing the group has ever given us on record! The vibe here is a lot more Strata and spiritual than the style you'd expect ... CD

Zima Stulecia

Minus 30 Celsius
Astigmatic (Poland), 2023. New Copy
A cinematic blend of electronics and percussion – served up in a way that every bit as evocative as a vintage soundtrack, especially work from the 80s action years – yet handled with a sonic richness that often surpasses music from that generation too! The group's a duo – and ... CD

Dicky Continental

Un
Acid Jazz (UK), 2023. New Copy
You may not know the name of Dicky Continental, but you might recognize his work as drummer Rich Thair in Red Snapper – stepping out here on a solo project that takes the groundbreaking sound of that legendary group and really pushes it further! Things are maybe more abstract at times here, ... CD

Nickodemus

Soul & Science
Wonderwheel, 2023. New Copy
Nickodemus wasn't the first to blend together a world's worth of influences with contemporary rhythms and production, but over the years, he's definitely risen to the top of the game – especially as he's moved into more subtle territory like this! The record is nicely freed from the ... CD

Daniel Maunick

Persistence
Far Out (UK), 2022. New Copy
Daniel Maunick's been giving us music in many forms for years – working as Venom on remixes, handling work with Incognito, and a range of other projects – but stepping out in the spotlight on his own is a relatively new thing to Maunick – and a great showcase for all sorts of ... CD
Brainfeeder, 2021. New Copy (pic cover)
That's a spooky cover on this single from Hiatus Kaiyote – and they definitely bring some of that energy to the title tune "Canopic Jar" – a track that begins with a bit of a horror introduction, and moves into some of the eeriest funky soul we've heard from the group! The ... 12-inch, Vinyl record

Sam Paglia

Killer Cha Chacha
Cinedelic (Italy), 2003. New Copy Gatefold
CD...$6.99 14.99
Really wicked stuff – and the greatest album from Sam Paglia to date! Sam's really honed his classic 60s organ sound to a "T" for this one – grooving in a manner that sounds a heck of a lot like famous soundtrack work by Quincy Jones or Lalo Schifrin (no surprise, he covers ... CD
Worm Discs (UK), 2020. New Copy
A great little collection that seeks to put the Bristol scene on the map – and to show the kind of inventive jazz the city's been offering up in recent years! The compilers aim to demonstrate that Bristol has as many newly-creative acts as the sort that have been bubbling up in London on ... CD

Marc Mac

Ja Pan Ah EP
Omniverse (UK), 2023. New Copy
Marc Mac knocks it out of the park once again – serving up just four songs, but with a sense of soaring power that beats most other full length records in this territory! The album's the last in Mac's series of global efforts, and although Japan is the focus this time around, it's mostly in ... 12-inch, Vinyl record
Fokus, 1991. Near Mint-
... 12-inch, Vinyl record
Hollywood, 1997. Near Mint-
Remixes by Guru of Gang Starr. 12-inch, Vinyl record
RCA, 1991. Very Good (pic cover)
(Cover has light wear.) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Flying Lotus

LA EP 1
Warp, 2008. Near Mint-
The first of 3 LA EPs from Flying Lotus – rich, textural and sublimely soulful tunes from one of the more inventive soundscape makers on the Warp label! LA EP 1 features a couple of the best tracks from the fine Los Angeles LP, plus four worthy non album tracks that meld Asian string ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bright & Findlay

Everything Is Slow
Athens Of The North (UK), 2023. New Copy
James Alexander Bright joins forces here with Groove Armada's Tom Findlay – and the result is a set of grooves that partly have an 80s boogie sort of vibe, and partly reflect that sunnier, hazier sound that we've loved from the LA underground scene in recent years! Beats, basslines, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
