There is the Blockhead that has been a fixture of the electronic music
scene for more than since his 2004 Ninja Tune debut Music By
Cavelight; putting out a string of critically acclaimed albums and touring
with everyone from Diplo to Amon Tobin and Kid Koala.
Then there is the rap producer Blockhead, whose collaborations with
Aesop Rock-Labor Days, None Shall Pass - are part of indie hip-hop
canon. The veteran who collaborated with luminaries like Cage, Illogic
and Blueprint but also made memorable records with then little-known
artists like Despot and billy woods early in their careers.
Free Sweatpants is the first time the two Blockhead’s connect, in what
is really the most appropriate form. A mixtape-esque album that pairs
his narrative-driven solo aesthetic with a team of rappers that thrive in
Blockhead’s layered, melodic sound. Aesop Rock, Tree, Breezly Brewin,
Open Mike Eagle, Homeboy Sandman, Armand Hammer, Vic Spencer,
Hemlock Ernst, MarQ Spekt, and billy woods round out the guest list.
“It’s really something I have been wanting to do since way back in
2002 but then other things picked up and I just never got around to it”
Blockhead explains, “but I felt like this was a good time for it. These are
artists I actively listen to, so it was exciting to make just based on that.”

Limited edition 7” picture disc featuring new music from Dag Savage
(Exile & Johaz) with guests Fashawn, The Last Artful, Dodgr, Blu, and
Cashus King. Only 200 pressed!
“This EP is a kind of juxtaposition between what we want to hear and
what we need to hear,” Exile tells HipHopDX. “The song ‘Furnace’
featuring Fashawn and The Last Artful, Dodgr is just a fun weed song
to help give us a smoke break from the state of the world. However, the
B-side is quite the opposite.
“If You’re Down’ featuring Blu and Cashus King is very much a discussion
about the ills of this world but also a call for unity of all races and religious
beliefs to stand up for humanity and social justice. Be on the lookout
for this and more on the Dag Savage sophomore album due out in late
2019.”

Brooklyn’s Breakdown Brass are made up of some of the hottest
musicians in the NY area. Their cover of Dr. Dre’s “Next Episode” is a
monster that makes dancefloors go bonkers. Supported by a who’s who
of DJs this record is a masterful mix of Afro-funk meets Balkan brass, and
with a dash of hip-hop simmering in the flow. The B‐side “Monmouth”
is a driving original with razor sharp horns and a rumbling sousaphone
bassline. Guaranteed to get bodies moving and to get dancefloors sweaty,
consider this 45 to be fresh ammunition for your record box. Originally
issued on Kept Records in 2015, the run quickly sold out and became
an instant crate digger classic that now regularly re-sells for upwards of
three figures if you are lucky to find someone willing to part ways with it.

“Every ending leads to a new beginning.”
Rising pianist/singer Aaron Abernathy has created a stir with his last two solo albums “Monologue” and “Dialogue” and now returns with the final installment of the series: “Epilogue.” Widely known for his live performances and collaborative efforts with artists including Black Milk, Slum Village, and Foreign Exchange, Abernathy has embarked on solo tours in the US, Europe, and Japan in support of his solo work, and this new release is his most personal work yet.
This follow up to Monologue and Dialogue focuses on restoration after heartbreak, an album that Abernathy has lived through and through and was uncertain about sharing. This vulnerable complex true story is made up of three acts touching on situations Abernathy and his peers are currently in the midst of living. The acts of HIS, HERS, and OURS take us through Abernathy’s more adventurous electro-soul compositions as he tells the story of his breakup with a woman he loved dearly and how he react to their ending, a woman named Noelle’s relationship with a man she was dearly in love with and how’s she’s coping with their relationship ending, and lastly how him Noelle are discovering if it’s possible to heal and love again after major heartbreak.
Abernathy said “I wrote this album because I’-m aware that everyone wants LOVE but many of us lack restoration and healing which is the most important step. Somewhere along the way we have been socialized to forgo healing and move to the next relationship without working on the spaces we need to grow in prior to finding love again and walking in prepared to do our part to create a love that will last. The optimistic outlook I found in creating “Epilogue” is that by definition it’s a piece of writing at the end of a work literature, usually used to bring closure to work. This is the last piece of writing in this series of albums in which I want to express that we’re bringing an ending to continuous heartbreak surrounding love and every ending leads to a new beginning. I’m praying our new beginnings will be filled with healing so that we can have the love our hearts desire.”

Five years after releasing Return of the Astro-Goth, Yugen Blakrok
descends from the vast cosmos and delivers to the world an impressive
lesson in style, with her second album Anima Mysterium. Far from the
stars but heavy with the irradiant wisdom; it’s towards Earth, humanity
and the obscurity at its core that the South African rapper directs her
incantations. Accompanied by Kanif the Jhatmaster’s beats, Yugen’s
flow sows the frontiers of a world where the subconscious frees itself
and confronts man with his most hidden secrets. Yugen’s poetry has
something Ovidian, depicting her as an agent of Metamorphosis, a
reincarnated goddess in terrestrial form calling humanity to itself. “Why
in the deepest darkness my soul beams like a lantern Engineered in
female form...silent carrier of the force I’m a sandstorm in desert dunes,
a shadow with a torch “Land of Gray, Yugen Blakrok The osmosis
between Yugen’s words and Kanif’s instrumentals comes across from the
first listen. On Return of the Astro-Goth, the astrological ideas covered
by the rapper found a perfect canvas in the mix of wind instruments,
dub and electronic echoes from the beatmaker. Here, Yugen lays hers
flow over instrumentals of rock, jazz and even at times something that
sounds close to witch-house. The project, released under French label
I.O.T Records, extracts the essential oils from hip-hop as seen by the
two artists, whose creative freedom and artistic integrity contrast with the
current rigid codes of the genre. At their sides they have rallied to their
musical odyssey artists from South Africa and the US, including hip-hop
legend Kool Keith himself.

Funky Mother is Analog Son’s fourth full-length and their most robust
effort yet with a 12-song collection of instant classics composed by
co-founders and longtime musical collaborators, Jordan Linit and
Josh Fairman. It is the first release on Color Red, a brand new hub of
high-quality, curated content founded by Eddie Roberts of The New
Mastersounds, who also produced the record.
With Roberts at the helm in the studio and producing the album, the band
has evolved beyond just being solid composers. As the name Analog
Son implies Linit, Fairman, and company, have truly become the new
generation of heavy-hitting, authentic groove music that was cultivated
in the 70s. The group utilized vintage recording techniques like putting
t-shirts on the drums and recording with minimal mics pushing the
envelope in both the funk genre and further into their own sound. “Ugly
Mug” is the perfect example of this matured vigor featuring beautiful
vocals intertwined with rich horn harmonies and filled out by Roberts’
guidance on phrasing and crafting the bridge sections. The end result is a
collection of the band’s best work yet taking them to soaring new heights.
The album also features guest appearances from Shane Endsley of
Kneebody, Jeff Franca of Thievery Corporation, Parris Fleming of The
Motet, and Nick Gerlach of Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics.

From the first note, Lindsey Webster captivates listeners. Her rich, soulful
voice enchants a dedicated following who connect with the raw emotion
she shares with them. As a Soul R&B artist, she combines an admirable
natural talent with a genuine, accessible stage presence.
Webster considers herself “very, very lucky” to have grown up in
Woodstock, NY. With a heavy emphasis on arts and music, her grade
school had a progressive music program where Lindsey cultivated a
deep love of music by learning the cello. After playing for 10 years, often
in first chair, she moved to NYC to attend Fiorello H. LaGuardia School for
the Music, Art & Performing Arts. As she grew musically, she transitioned
from strings to voice where she heard her calling and found herself.
In 2009, Lindsey met her partner, Keith Slattery, and started performing
professionally. Together, with a band of world-class musicians, they’ve
performed over 600 shows in venues including Bearsville Theater, Levon
Helm Studios, Helsinki Hudson, Daryl’s House, The Falcon, The Lambs
Club, Rockwood Music Hall, The Red Lion, and Groove.
The success of her first album and winning “Best Acoustic Song” in the
Independent Music Awards caught the eye of Brian Hurst from UK’s
soulandjazz.com. Hurst brought Webster to Atlanta Records, who signed
her to release her second album, You Change. Appropriately titled, You
Change shows a real transition and beautiful growth for Webster as an
artist. While humbled her voice has been compared to R&B royalty, Sade,
Mariah Carey, and Anita Baker, Lindsey looks to bring her distinct style
to Soul R&B and continue to make music that resonates with her fans.

Japanese beat-master Axion117 returns to Cold Busted with the action-
packed 17 track MCHD. A worthy follow-up to 2016’s One Thousand
Horizon, the album further establishes Axion117 as a formidable sample-
samurai, cutting and slashing beats and phrases in a finely-tuned frenzy.
The cuts that make up MCHD are varied and expressive, revealing jazzy
beat structures, chopped-up melodic motifs, and buttery vibes that can be
spread for days. Included in the album are the sublimely uplifting “Rising
Up,” the latin-tinged “Dara Pa” and its bouncing kick drum, “Remaking
Vibes” with its smoked-out, lounge feel, and the mesmerizing mellow-ish
boom-bap of “S.I.B.” As a whole, the album feels like an exclusive crate-
digging session led by Axion177. There’s much to explore within MCHD’s
17 tracks. Dig deep!

Four beats, four beat makers, one country. Cold Busted’s acclaimed
IWYMI INTNI series — meaning, “It’s What You Make It International”
— touches down in the United Kingdom for its latest installment.
Spread across the UK, this quartet of young producers makes a lasting
impression with sublime tracks imprinted on seven inch wax. West London
is represented by AJMW, AKA Ashley Warden, who comes correct on
“Lovely Jubbly.” Tinkling piano, crooning snatches, and a dope beat make
this a stellar opener. Joe Corfield, hailing from Birmingham, goes into the
funk zone with “Fuji,” featuring delicious interplay of shimmering Rhodes
and a sharp, dusted rhythm. Flip the record for “Over There” from West
Yorkshire’s Hashfinger — a bass-booming head-nodder complete with
dreamy vocal interludes. Millennium Jazz Music’s Gadget brings us
back to London, supplying dulcet guitar strums over a tough beat on the
hypnotically soothing “Y’all Feel That.” These four cuts pack a punch,
subtle yet sassy and ready to spice up any turntable session.

Spurred out of a small handful of one-off performances where the trio found themselves at the same festival, both artist chemistry and popular demand finally brought the group to the Color Red studios in summer 2018.
“Happy Hour/Corner Pocket” is a fast-paced 7” that has listeners yearning for more with tight pocket, virtuosic guitar licks, and a silky layer of organ. The tracks were recorded straight to tape in 1-2 takes and immediately released on vinyl in time for Color Red’s launch.

“The Juice Ain’t Worth the Squeeze/Go on, Love” is an explosive 7” follow up to Matadaor! Soul Sounds debut album “Get Ready.” The group is a powerhouse jazz, funk, and soul ensemble born from the vision of Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) and Alan Evans (Soulive).
The band consists of six funk and soul artists, each with their own independent music backgrounds. Alan Evans leads the rhythm section on Drums with Eddie Roberts playing electric guitar along with keyboardist Chris Spies and bassist Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring). Adding a feminine energy to the band are Adryon de León and Kimberly Dawson (Pimps of Joytime) on vocals. Combining the dynamism of each bandleader, the music they have created is brand new, hard-hitting and drenched with their shared musical passions - jazz, funk & soul.
Matador Soul Sounds has been featured in Revive (of the Okayplayer group), Soul Bounce, Pop Matters, Glide Magazine, and more and is currently touring globally.”
DESCRIPTION
What started as a rehearsal between three founding members of Color Red has evolved into a spirited project featuring Jeff Franca (Drums - Thievery Corporation), Josh Fairman (Bass - co-owner of Scanhope Studios, artist of Sunsquabi/Analog Son), Mike Tallman (Guitar - Euforquestra and lead artists at Add Noise Studios, who has produced art for Pretty Lights, Anders Osbourne, and more).
“Out West/Love Tree” 7” is the first release of a full collection of music with roots in rock and jazz that highlights each musician tastefully with no stepping on toes and no overplaying—just sonic artistry at its finest. During this session, Joe Tatton from The New Mastersounds was in town and helmed keyboard duties to round the track out with a plushy extra layer of organ. This release was recorded straight to tape on a Tascam 388 and recorded at Color Red studios in Denver, Colorado in summer 2018.

TRACKLISTING
With Darondo’s passing, the world truly lost a singular and unique talent.
His Let My People Go album has now reached “legendary” status with
tracks featured on numerous A-list shows such as Breaking Bad and
CSI, gaining legions of new fans in addition to the Soul afficionados who
already knew of Darondo’s music. A mystery to most, Darondo records
are high on the wants-lists of many collectors. He is spoken about in
hushed-tones by other Bay Area musicians. Back in the day he was
seen cruising around town in a white Rolls Royce. He opened-up for
James Brown and lived a colorful lifestyle hanging with folks like the
notorious Fillmore Slim. Take a listen to these tracks, released for the
first time together on an album, and you may agree that he could have
been the next Al Green or Sly Stone. But about 25 years ago Darondo
disappeared. Releasing three singles in the early 1970s he mixed low-
rider soul with blues and RnB. He delivered in a variety of styles from the
socially-charged “Let My People Go” to the sexually-driven funk of “Legs”.
All three singles were recorded in the Bay Area, and both sides of each
of the singles are fantastic productions. The six tracks from the three
original singles are featured here, along with three previously unreleased
songs that were recently discovered on a demo reel. Recorded in the
early 1970s, tracks from the demo reel were taken into a San Francisco
studio in the summer of 2005 for enhancement. Darondo over-dubbed
missing background vocals and guitar parts alongside up and coming
San Francisco soul man Bing Ji Ling.

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
One voice. One guitar. Ten killer songs. Recorded by the artist alone in
her South London flat - with no edits, no autotune and mostly in one take
- Where’s My Tribe is an album of raw and simple beauty.
With song titles such as “Beautiful People,” “Tragic Youth” and “Now
You Are With Her,” Where’s My Tribe lays bare the loneliness that lurks
at the empty heart of our super-connected world, chasing friends and
dragons - real and illusory - down the virtual rabbit hole. Recorded in
one take at 3am, Temptation channels the exquisite torture of an illicit
affair resisted, but only just. With Tragic Youth, ghosts of the past are
exorcised and consigned to history - eased on their way by a voice that
glides like quicksilver over an intricate tapestry of guitar rhythms. While
Beautiful People reads like an outsider’s protest to the selfie generation,
Far Beyond the High Street portrays a house “split into four separate
homes” and Now You Are With Her is a song of heartache and longing to
compete with the very best.
As demonstrated by her accidental worldwide hit Wherever You Will Go,
Charlene Soraia is possessed of a voice that can melt hearts. Where’s
My Tribe serves as a powerful reminder that she is also a guitarist of
virtuosic skill and songwriter of rare talent. Universal yet intensely
personal, this is a record of our time and forever that will resonate with
the lonely soul inside us all.

If you have internet access you’ve probably seen Brockett Parsons
navigating the Brock360 ; the 288 key circular keyboard that debuted in
Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl performance. Just a glimpse gives the hint that
the man is tuned in to a vast array of transcendent sounds and rhythms.
Trained in Jazz, Parsons caught the ear and eye of Sean Combs; he
toured the world with Diddy’s band and performed with many others
including Talib Kweli, Taylor McFerrin, and Guru before picking up his
current gig with Lady Gaga.
And now, it is with great pleasure that we announce Brockett’s debut
album via our family imprint Modern Icon Recordings. Brockettship is
a stunning collection of compositions, exploring all of Parson’s diverse
musical interest and filtered through the unique production ear of Adrian
Harpham. Oh, and there are guests; Peter Gunz, Mononeon, James
Genus, Seamus Blake to name but a few.

If Salvador Dali ever made a heist movie, then Mexico’s Troker would
have been the soundtrack. Hailing from the land where tequila has long
been its most famous export, Troker may just be the most important new
musical export today. Troker’s sound careens between the sublime and
the dangerous; a blend where metal riffage merges with powerhouse
funk drumming and DJ scratching, with melodic horn lines pull from jazz
and mariachi traditions. Troker is a band that cannot be pigeonholed into
any one genre.
Their albums are almost cinematic; awaken the senses, and provoke
powerful emotional reactions from listeners around the world. This
proposal looks for adventurous, fearless listeners with diverse tastes in
music; an invitation to join a sonic journey that has been curated by a
group of creatively crazy musicians – an experience that might tactically
be comparable to shock and awe. Troker’s artistic mission is to create
music that excites the audiences’ senses
Inspired by MMW and DJ Logic, Troker takes fusion to the next level,
pulling in rock and Mexican roots to build an explosive sound. Featured
on NPR’s Tiny Desk and playing worldwide to growing audiences.
