JUST IN - Nas and DJ Premier - Light-Years (Mass Appeal)

Cassette £11.99 Add to basket

Today, GRAMMY-Award winning rap icon Nas and DJ Premier —two of the most influential and revered figures in hip-hop history—announced their highly anticipated collaborative album Light-Years is set to release on December 12th via Mass Appeal.

After decades of anticipation, Light-Years is a 30-year working legacy reborn. Nas and DJ Premier’s partnership is embedded in the DNA of Hip-Hop. Their origin story began in 1994 with Illmatic, which resulted in hits such as “N.Y. State Of Mind,” “Memory Lane” and “Represent.” Illmatic helped establish Nas as a generational talent and furthered Premier’s then burgeoning legacy. Their chemistry deepened over the next decade through classics like “I Gave You Power,” 2nd Childhood,” “Nas Is Like” and “N.Y. State Of Mind Pt. II.”

Spearheaded by Mass Appeal’s groundbreaking Legend Has It..., a series celebrating and spotlighting some of the most important and influential Hip Hop artists of all time, the series has gifted a year long run of historic releases from culture defining artists including; Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L & De La Soul. With Light-Years, Nas and DJ Premier deliver the grand finale to close out the legendary series where their undeniable synergy remains elusive.

In 2006, Nas and DJ Premier appeared on the cover of Scratch Magazine, teasing a joint project that again refueled fan frenzy and two decades worth of anticipation. Last year, Nas and Preem linked up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Illmatic with the release of a new track, “Define My Name,” where they first announced their landmark collaborative album.

Light-Years is a true testament to both artists' influence, legacy and the timelessness of the music they create together.

PRESALE - Moodymann - DJ Kicks (!K7 Records)

Vinyl LP £33.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 23rd January 2025

In 2016, a year after the 50th entry in the long-running series, none other but the iconic Detroit artist, DJ and producer Moodymann stepped up to helm the next landmark edition of DJ-Kicks, his first ever multi-artist DJ mix compilation. Following !K7's 40 th anniversary, this classic DJ-Kicks mix is now being repressed on coke bottle clear vinyl.

Born Kenny Dixon Jr., Moodymann is a one-of-a-kind electronic music icon, hailing from, and wholly synonymous with the Motor City. He is an outspoken, impossibly charismatic artist who has been putting a distinctive and soulful stamp on house and techno since the early 90s. Melting together jazz, funk, soul, blues and rock in captivating ways, he is responsible for some of electronic music’s most definitive tracks, EPs and LPs on labels like Planet E, Peacefrog and his own KDJ and Mahogani Music imprints. As able to serve up the sweetest and most sensual sounds as he is the darkest and most depraved grooves, his own unique voice and stream of conscious musings infuse expertly sought-out samples for music that is decisively alive and authentic.

Across 75 minutes and 30 tracks, Moodymann does not disappoint: despite being a notorious vinyl fetishist, Dixon’s aim is to present music of quality, not to one-up fellow collectors. Rather than serving up ridiculously rare or hard- to-find records, he instead focuses on creating a libidinous, blues-drenched mood that takes in heart-breaking soul, gorgeous hip-hop and love-fuelled house.

In addition to cuts from his own creative circle, the mix features 11 exclusive Moodymann edits. Like everything Kenny Dixon Jr. touches, his DJ-Kicks showcases the taste, skill, and soul of a dance music original.

Vinyl LP £21.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 16th January 2025

The Sha La Das are Bill Schalda and his talented sons Paul, Will and Carmine, originating from Staten Island, NY. Your Picture, the Sha La Das’ second album and the first release on producer Tom Brenneck's own label, Diamond West Records, is yet another singular testament to the stirring power of blood harmony and a celebration of the enduring love story between Bill and the family matriarch, Linda.

Traces of old memories flicker through Your Picture. Bill’s classic songwriting and lush vocal arrangements get whirled into new territory, updating doo-wop with the bottom-heavy groove and swirling pop of Brenneck’s lean, spacious production. “We brought in some psychedelic sounds and drew inspiration from deep soul records to the Beatles and Beach Boys alike,” Brenneck says. Love radiates throughout Your Picture, flowing out from the shimmering melodies Bill and his sons produce.

Bill Schalda and sons are living their musical dream—Your Picture is the proof.

PRESALE - MHz - Table Scraps (Table Scraps Records)

Vinyl LP £32.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 16th January 2025

Over two decades later, the underground classic that lit the fuse on indie hip-hop’s next era finally gets its vinyl debut. Originally dropped in 2001, Table Scraps is a gritty, no-frills compilation of unreleased tracks and lost sessions from the formative years of MHz, the Columbus, Ohio hip hop crew that helped define an era before the mainstream caught wind of the underground. Recorded between 1997–2001, the album is raw, urgent, and packed with early glimpses of the greatness that would follow.

The core lineup is fully intact and fully in form: Copywrite flexes his unmatched wordplay and delivers two self-produced heaters, “The Funnel” (co-produced) and “Combustion Spontaneous,” proving he’s just as deadly behind the boards. Tage Future brings futuristic cadence and sharp delivery, Jakki Da Motamouth stays unapologetically rugged, and the late Camu Tao is in rare, untamed form, a creative force whose brilliance only grew from here. Holding it all together are beats from RJD2, Mighty Mi, Camu, and Copywrite himself.

Pressed on vinyl for the first time ever, Table Scraps is more than a collection, it’s a time capsule from a crew that helped shape the underground before it had a name.

Tracklisting:

1. Intro 2. Rocket Science 3. Kryptonite 4. Couldn’t Find Another 5. Magnetics 6. The Funnel 7. Absotively Posolutely 8. This Year 9. The Chosen 10. Combustion Spontaneous 11. World Premier 12. Creatively Wise 13. Widespread 14. Holier Than Thou 15. Rain 16. Counseling

Detroit producer-MC Black Milk’s breakthrough album Popular Demand makes its long-awaited return to vinyl. Originally released in 2007, this project introduced Black Milk’s signature balance of warm soul chops, crisp drum programming, and sharp lyricism — earning praise from XXL, Pitchfork, and Okayplayer as one of the defining independent hip-hop releases of its era.

JUST IN - Oh No - Nodega (Nature Sounds)

Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 12th December 2025

Oh No helped shape the texture of modern independent hip-hop, introducing the world to his turbulent lyricism with the 2004 Stones Throw classic The Disrupt before establishing himself as one of the world’s most dynamic beat architects. Ranging from soulful to sinister, hypnotic to chaotic, Dr. No’s psychedelic production has become a vital force in hip-hop, bringing the best out of artists like Mos Def, Action Bronson, Prodigy, Murs, Dilated Peoples, Danny Brown, Elzhi, Your Old Droog, and more. The California native has also released several acclaimed sample-themed instrumental collections, mining Mediterranean psyche funk, the work of jazz icon Roy Ayers, Italian library music, rare Ethiopian grooves, and more.

Now, Oh No is back with Nodega, his first vocal album in more than a decade. Conceptualized as a corner store where microphone assassins stop through to lay down their street tales, the project finds Oh No cooking up a fresh batch of wild creations as the drama unfolds. While contributing a handful of memorable verses himself, Oh No mostly focuses on crafting soundscapes for a staggering array of guests, including Logic, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Tha God Fahim, Alchemist, Guilty Simpson, Blu, Crimeapple, Rah Digga, Esoteric, Vic Spencer, Wildchild, Big Twins, and more. “I work with some of the most dangerous emcees in the game,” he explains. “I wanted the album to be like a hip-hop play, with all these different geniuses showing how they steal the scenes.” This concept is brought to life by music Oh No describes as a “cinematic landscape ranging from dark stabbing pianos to melodic jazz interludes, raw gutter loops to funk grit, dirty synths to nighttime thrills.” A visceral experience elevated by immense collective talent, Nodega is a compelling one-stop shop for Oh No’s expansive artistry.

Tracklisting:

1. Broken Radio Intro | 2. No's One Stop (feat. DJ Romes) | 3. Community Trenches (feat. Kazi, MED, Blu, and Roc C) | 4. Around Here (feat. Rah Digga and Talib Kweli)| 5. Rooftop Shottas (feat.

Estimated Shipping Date: 9th January 2026

Twenty years ago, ILL BILL released “What’s Wrong With Bill?”, a raw, unfiltered snapshot of where his mind was at during a dark, creative and transformative time. Chaos and clarity in musical form, a record built from trauma, truth and the New York streets that raised him. He never imagined it would become what it did: a cult classic with a revered mystique that continues to be quoted and debated 20 years later. This album captured ILL BILL at his most urgent, most aggressive and most alert to the madness around him.

For the first time in two decades, “What’s Wrong With Bill?” is being reissued on 2LP vinyl, a complete capsule including an alternate variant cover, 20th anniversary commemorative OBI strip, and, for the first time ever, a cassette edition, alongside a remastered limited edition CD. This is more than nostalgia, it’s encapsulated arcana, proudly representative of an era when Hip Hop was dangerous, fearless and alive. This one is for the true believers who never forgot.

Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket
White Vinyl LP £28.99 Add to basket

If you could go back in time ten years, what would you want to tell yourself? This was a question Khruangbin posed to themselves when approaching the ten-year anniversary of their debut album, the once cult classic, now genre-defining work The Universe Smiles Upon You. “If we could go back and tell ourselves how much was going to happen to us after that record, what would we want to celebrate?” asked Laura Lee, bassist, vocalist, and founding member of the band. Instead, they thought: “Let’s do it again.”

The Universe Smiles Upon You ii was recorded on January 4-6, 2025, in the same family barn of guitarist Mark Speer, across the same dates where TUSUY was first conceived ten years earlier. Though the conditions were the same–dirt floor, brutally cold, minimal sound isolation, all takes live–the songs aren’t. They’re re-approached, some changed more than others, harnessing the lightning-in-a-bottle energy of TUSUY while discovering what would be unique this time around, in this stage of the band’s life.

The result moves like ripples on the water across ten hypnotizing tracks, the barn creating a sense of spaciousness, serenity and creative freedom, nearby wildlife (listen out for the birds on “August Twelve ii”), rattles and creaks of the barn and all. It’s a tapestry of small movements in nuanced arrangements, slowly revealing the new life, stories and character of someone you’ve met again for the first time in ten years.

Tracklisting:

1. Little Joe and Mary ii 2. Balls and Pins ii 3. White Gloves ii 4. The Man Who Took My Sunglasses ii 5. People Everywhere ii 6. Bin Bin ii 7. August Twelve ii 8. Dern Kala ii 9. Two Fish and an Elephant ii 10. Zionsville ii

Estimated Shipping Date: 7th November 2025

Released in the winter of 1995, Dah Shinin’ introduced Smif-N-Wessun as torchbearers of the gritty, sample-driven East Coast sound that defined a generation. Backed by Da Beatminerz’ haunting, jazz-laced production and supported by their Boot Camp Clik brethren, Tek and Steele delivered a debut that was as raw as it was revolutionary — capturing the essence of mid-90s Brooklyn.

Now, 30 years later, Dah Shinin’ returns in its most complete form. The 30th Anniversary Definitive Deluxe Edition brings together for the first time in one place, the full original album, two essential remixes "Wrekonize" and "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and rare material, including the long-unreleased “Nuttin’ Move But Da Money,” finally available officially after years on white label.

Pressed across three LPs and housed in a premium tri-fold jacket featuring original artwork, newly commissioned liner notes, period photography, and archival content, this expanded edition stands as a tribute to the album’s creation and legacy.

Estimated Shipping Date: 23rd January 2026

The New York trio De La Soul return in the wake of Trugoy's absence, with the music carrying that fact subtly and in the grain of the production rather than in any direct statement. Their habit of stitching samples into loose, bright shapes is still present, drifting in and out like an old memory but a heavier undertone sits beneath it. This record seems to move between those states, holding them without forcing a resolution. 'Cabin Talk' sets the mark with Giancarlo Esposito's narration drawing the group into a slower frame. 'Yuhdontstop' brings a gentle lift, its strings moving with a familiar shine while 'Will Be' folds Yummy Bingham's voice into a softer groove. Later, 'Patty Cake' cuts the arrangement back to a chant-like pattern. By the time 'Cabin In The Sky' arrives, the tribute feels unguarded, as if the group is reaching for Trugoy in the only language they trust.

PRESALE - El Combo Batanga - Spanish Dogs (UBIQUITY RECORDINGS)

Vinyl LP £20.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 23rd January 2026

El Combo Batanga is a musical explosion at the intersection of Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin funk. A group of powerful musicians who blend son, timba, Latin soul, and bogaloo for people to enjoy.

The band’s journey began in Havana, where vocalist Ale Gutiérrez originated before relocating to Madrid in the late 1990s. He was part of Habana Abierta, a pioneer of new Cuban music in Europe. In Madrid, several prominent musicians gathered at La Negra Tomasa for weekly jam sessions, which ultimately led to the formation of Los Chocolatinos. After hearing Los Chocolatinos, Ale Gutiérrez joined the group, which included Yago Salorio (double bass), Julián Olivares (guitar), Rodrigo "El Niño" (drums and pailas), and Pepe Prat (congas). This collaboration became the foundation for El Combo Batanga, connecting Cuban musicians in Madrid.

In 2018, Rodrigo "El Niño" assembled a band to support Joe Bataan on tour, bringing in additional musicians for a rich brass section and keyboard. Their combined talent resulted in a powerful live performance, catching the attention of record label Tucxone. Their first work, Who Cares, has become part of the Lovemonk Discos Buenos catalog.

Three new 7 "s will be released this year. The band has finally started playing gigs, starting at Transmusicales Rennes: an unstoppable train delivering groove and flavor.

Yellow Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 20th March 2026

As the world sinks deeper into screens and algorithms blur the line between creation and imitation, Nubiyan Twist return with Chasing Shadows, a record that reclaims the pulse, warmth and spontaneity of human connection.

The band’s fifth studio album is a rich and restless blend of jazz, afrobeat, hip hop and electronic textures, exploring the space between the organic and the digital. It’s music that moves, sweats, and breathes, made by real people in real rooms with heavyweight features bringing together varied voices from the music community which they inhabit.

Bandleader and producer Tom Excel explains: “We wanted to make something that felt joyous and defiantly human — something that couldn’t exist without that connection between people. You can get an AI to write a fugue in seconds, but it can’t capture the chemistry and chaos that happens when musicians lock in together. Chasing Shadows is our way of holding onto that.”

Folowing 2024’s acclaimed Find Your Flame, praised by Roling Stone, Jazzwise, NPR and more, Chasing Shadows pushes the band’s sound further into new soulful territory under Exce l’s expert guidance, featuring bright new vocalist Eniola and a glowing cast of icons and innovators. Malian star Fatoumata Diawara lights up the title track on a powerful slice of Afrobeat, Joe Armon Jones leads the dub workout ‘Rhythm Of You’ and the band take it back to their hip hop roots on great colabs with The Pharcyde’s Booty Brown, Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London dancehal favourite, Mr Wi liamz.

On Chasing Shadows, Nubiyan Twist continue to look outwards with their music but keep the focus firmly on humanity and positivity. It is an album which crosses continents and which shamelessly celebrates our co lective strength.

Fifth album from UK-based co lective Nubiyan Twist led by bandleader & producer Tom Excel (Africa Express, Onipa).

Featuring Booty Brown, Fatoumata Diawara, M.Anifest, Mr Wi liamz and Joe Armon Jones.

Deeply cinematic at its core, the albums' tender jazz harmonisations flow into a moving undercurrent of strings and harp, anchored by SHOLTO's rhythmic sensibility and dramatic vocal cues that drift in and out across the record's 12- tracks, capturing the essence of Sirens like dream sequences caught mid- thought. The record is emotionally unflinching, exploring themes of duality, temptation, and emotional dislocation, in SHOLTO's words "blurring grief with groove, seduction and surrender".

Using the world of myth and the carnivalesque as a vehicle for exploring the intricacies of the human condition, 'The Sirens' emerged from a space of uncertainty and spiritual fatigue for SHOLTO. Drawing from ancient allegory to navigate his inner turbulence, the album is grounded in quiet defiance and tension that sometimes never quite resolves. Created once again in the fertile, creative hub of SHOLTO's SFJ studio in Hackney, the album reunites a familiar cast of musical characters, giving voice to the community feel and cohesive sound world he's building. The core of the SHOLTO sound is here, with Syd Kemp returning on bass, Clementine Brown on strings and Rachel Horton Kitchlew on harp.

Vinyl LP £24.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 12th December 2025

With an ever-growing horde of rappers clamoring for attention, manifesting a successful long-term career in hip-hop has become an almost supernatural achievement, reserved for artists with near-mystical talents. Atlanta emcee Tha God Fahim embraces this role, positioning himself as a divine warrior with lyrical powers transcending this earthly realm, battling dark forces with tactical ingenuity and relentless dedication. This artistic vision has become even more vivid in recent years, culminating in the wildly creative series Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap with acclaimed producer Nicholas Craven.

Inspired by the anime phenomenon Dragon Ball and its conception of a dimension unconstrained by the rules of time, Fahim and Craven just concluded the ambitious endeavor with a staggering fifteen volumes released in only eight months. Taken collectively, Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap forms a vital entry in Tha God Fahim's catalog, blending gritty narratives of hustle and hardship with intergalactic rhyme wizardry. Fahim's stratospheric ambitions are elevated by exquisite production from Nicholas Craven, known for his work with Roc Marciano, Mach-Hommy, Westside Gunn, Conway, Boldy James, Pink Siifu, and more.

Estimated Shipping Date: 12th December 2025

Oh No helped shape the texture of modern independent hip-hop, introducing the world to his turbulent lyricism with the 2004 Stones Throw classic The Disrupt before establishing himself as one of the world’s most dynamic beat architects. Ranging from soulful to sinister, hypnotic to chaotic, Dr. No’s psychedelic production has become a vital force in hip-hop, bringing the best out of artists like Mos Def, Action Bronson, Prodigy, Murs, Dilated Peoples, Danny Brown, Elzhi, Your Old Droog, and more. The California native has also released several acclaimed sample-themed instrumental collections, mining Mediterranean psyche funk, the work of jazz icon Roy Ayers, Italian library music, rare Ethiopian grooves, and more.

Now, Oh No is back with Nodega, his first vocal album in more than a decade. Conceptualized as a corner store where microphone assassins stop through to lay down their street tales, the project finds Oh No cooking up a fresh batch of wild creations as the drama unfolds. While contributing a handful of memorable verses himself, Oh No mostly focuses on crafting soundscapes for a staggering array of guests, including Logic, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Tha God Fahim, Alchemist, Guilty Simpson, Blu, Crimeapple, Rah Digga, Esoteric, Vic Spencer, Wildchild, Big Twins, and more. “I work with some of the most dangerous emcees in the game,” he explains. “I wanted the album to be like a hip-hop play, with all these different geniuses showing how they steal the scenes.” This concept is brought to life by music Oh No describes as a “cinematic landscape ranging from dark stabbing pianos to melodic jazz interludes, raw gutter loops to funk grit, dirty synths to nighttime thrills.” A visceral experience elevated by immense collective talent, Nodega is a compelling one-stop shop for Oh No’s expansive artistry.

PRESALE - The Dogg Pound - Dogg Food (Integral)

Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 12th December 2025

Tha Dogg Pound (the duo of Daz Dillinger and Kurupt) are foundational to the West Coast G-funk / gangsta rap legacy scene. Their voice and production style defined a slice of the 1990s Death Row sound.‘Dogg Food’ is Tha Dogg Pound’s debut studio album on Death Row and a critical pillar in the label’s mid-1990s output.

The group had strong affiliation with Snoop, Nate Dogg, The Lady of Rage and the Death Row family aesthetic, giving cross- artist brand leverage.Because much of the production is from within the group (especially Daz), this album carries strong ‘in-house’ raw authenticity. Hits like ‘Let’s Play House’ and ‘New York, New York’ provide anchor tracks for sampling, licensing, reissues and nostalgia marketing. The classic G-funk / Death Row era aesthetic is tightly encapsulated here, making ‘Dogg Food’ a go-to for any West Coast-themed branding, media or licensing.

JUST IN - Freedom Rhythm & Sound - Revolutionary Jazz Original Cover Art

Chapter Two: Journeys To Enlightenment £32.99 Add to basket

Freedom Rhythm & Sound: Revolutionary Jazz Cover Art: Chapter Two by Gilles Peterson & Stuart Baker Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker's new Freedom, Rhythm and Sound showcases the stunning graphic works of mainly independently published jazz record cover designs in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and beyond, from radical jazz musicians such as Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, The Art Ensemble of Chicago and others.

This new second volume of Freedom, Rhythm and Sound book is a new 'chapter', featuring hundreds more unique, rare and beautiful jazz record cover designs. This book documents the continued development in jazz as African-American artists set out on new journeys to enlightenment, heading out into Europe at the end of the 1960s.

The artwork of these (often self-produced) record cover designs during this era reflected their radical agenda, spiritual awareness and singular search for musical and personal freedoms. From raw, DIY aesthetics to lyrical and poetic illustrations, sometimes containing futuristic worlds and ancient landscapes, the designs are always bold, strikingly graphic, and most importantly capture the spirit of the music, giving them a unique beauty.

As well as the radical jazz music of this time, this new 'Chapter' of Freedom, Rhythm and Sound also includes sections on the record cover art of African-American poets and writers, Civil Rights and Black Power Movement recordings (Martin Luther King, Malcolm X), early musical pioneers (Yusef Lateef, Max Roach, Ornette Coleman and others) all of which helped influence and shape the world of radical jazz from the 1960s onwards.

Blue Vinyl LP £21.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 30th January 2026

In 2008, Toby Pazner and a group of New York City’s most sought-after musicians found themselves in a Brooklyn bedroom, gathered around a Tascam 388 tape machine. There, they recorded what would become the debut 45 of a project he named The Olympians—initially released on Truth & Soul Records. Eight years later, while on tour in the Greek Islands, Pazner had a fever dream in which he was visited by a toga-clad, curly-haired figure. The mysterious presence urged him to return across the great sea to build a "Temple of Sound"—a vision that ultimately materialized as the group’s self-titled album, released in 2016 on Daptone Records. The record featured a long list of elite musicians from the Daptone family, all of whom contributed their talents to help realize Pazner’s creative vision. The album was met with widespread acclaim, quickly earning a reputation as one of the finest instrumental soul records of the decade–gaining reviews from Pitchfork, American Songwriter, Brooklyn Vegan, KUTX and many others. In the digital space, the project has been backed by unbelievably strong organic growth at DSPs, with streaming numbers exceeding all expectations, turning it into a breakout success for both Daptone and Pazner.

Following the success of his debut solo effort, Pazner spent the next several years exploring the musical cosmos—writing songs with Lee Fields as well as joining him on the road as his keyboardist (whom he has also managed for 16 years),. During this time he also started a family. This series of transformative life events set the stage for the forthcoming album, In Search of a Revival ( Daptone Records).

In Search of a Revival revisits the original dream that inspired The Olympians but with a more introspective and evolved approach. This time, and a whole 10 years since the self-titled debut was released, Pazner composed, arranged, and produced the entire album on his own. Featuring a mix of returning musicians from his debut as well as a handful of friends and collaborators he has met on his musical journey–forming a 17 person ensemble of the scene’s top players. While The Olympians drew heavily from the classic soul stylings of Curtis Mayfield and James Brown, In Search of a Revival leans into the golden era of the Wrecking Crew, the lush textures of Gold Star Studios, vintage film scores, and the more obscure corners of cinematic soundscapes.

From the cascading harps which open the “Sirens of Jupiter” to the driving horn coda of “Sagittarius By Moonlight,” The Olympians deliver a new sound all of its own: an ancient dream of far away Greece painted out in lush cinematic arrangements over the tough rhythms. In Search of a Revival is poised to be yet another Daptone classic—an album that not only honors the traditions of instrumental soul, but sets a bold new standard for the genre in the years to come.

JUST IN - Ata Kak - Batakari (AWESOME TAPES FROM AFRICA)

Vinyl LP £22.99 Add to basket
Green Marble Vinyl LP £22.99 Add to basket

Ata Kak created a peculiar slice of Ghanaian music history with his debut album “Obaa Sima”. While it barely made a ripple at the time of its release in 1994, the cassette found a new life online in 2006. A not-sounderground cult obsession grew after it appeared on the blog Awesome Tapes From Africa as its very first post, a sort of manifesto for the project. His addictive amalgam of left-field electronic music and Twi-language hiplife reached surprising levels of awareness among music fans of many stripes. The mystery behind the musician’s identity grew. Eventually Yaw Atta-Owusu came out of the shadows, from his quiet home in Kumasi, to tour the world playing high-energy, sweat-soaked performances at major festivals like Glastonbury, Sónar and Pop Montreal.

Now, for the first time since 1994, Ata Kak releases new music. Honed in studios around Kumasi over the last several years, the songs feature the rapper-singer’s acrobatic rap, signature scatting, dramatic drums and even traditional Akan harp. The compositions are more ambitious than his earlier work, with more complex arrangements and layered harmonies. Ata Kak’s new songs are also the natural expression of a restless artist—he is a prolific poet and author of a half-dozen books, as well as an active gardener and busy painter. Born in Ghana in 1960, Ata Kak wasn’t always involved in music. But his travels and openness to the world lead him into the music industry. While living in Germany, he was invited to play drums in a reggae band and subsequently played in highlife bands in Ontario after moving to the Toronto area. He recorded “Obaa Sima” there at his home studio and released it in Ghana in 1994.

He didn’t participate in music much in the intervening years until “Obaa Sima” was reissued in 2015. He started performing his song live with the help of a brilliant cast of Londonbased musicians and has toured three continents and played to thousands of fans in venues of all kinds.

JUST IN - Tyler The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA (Columbia)

White Vinyl LP £35.99 Add to basket

Tyler, The Creator pushes his creative boundaries a bit further with his most inventive production to date, all the while dropping some revelatory bombshells and enhancing his penmanship as a storyteller by showcasing a range of maturity throughout. The end result is an expansive album that lives up to the quality of music Tyler has gifted us over the years, despite a few bumps here and there.

CHROMAKOPIA houses possibly the oddest sounding set of beats Tyler’s produced. We get a fair share of rap bangers in the forms of “Rah Tah Tah” and “Sticky” for example yet they play out very differently to what you’d expect thanks to their own intricacies that feel uniquely “Tyler”. Whether it’s the pitched up vocals on the former song or the samples of children chanting on the latter, it’s a solid way to shake things up.

Poppier cuts like “Darling, I” build off of the melodies that Tyler perfected on something like Igor with the song’s incredibly catchy production. Meanwhile the slower, R&B nuances of songs like “Tomorrow” see Tyler revel in a hushed tone. Emphasized by the soft guitar strums that makes the track feel intimate. A new sensation that I’ve never heard or felt on a Tyler album before.

JUST IN - Felt - Felt 2: A Tribute To Lisa Bonet (RHYMESAYERS)

Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 17th October 2025

In 2005, Felt 2: A Tribute to Lisa Bonet brought together two of underground hip-hop’s most respected voices of the time—Murs and Slug—for a second collaboration that felt looser, livelier, and more charismatic than its predecessor. The album captures a moment of creative freedom, where both MCs were firing on all cylinders, trading verses with sharpness, humor, and effortless chemistry. Their interplay reflects a deep mutual respect and a shared drive to push boundaries while keeping things rooted in style and substance. Working with different producers for each volume allowed Murs and Slug to bring a unique energy to each release, and Ant’s masterful production was central to the chemistry of Felt 2. With roots in classic soul and West Coast bounce, his beats created a warm, funk-laced foundation that allowed both rappers to experiment with new cadences and ideas. Rather than lean on moodiness or melodrama, the soundscape of Felt 2 is expansive, colorful, and rooted in rich, infectious rhythm—an aesthetic that has aged gracefully and continues to draw new listeners into its orbit. While undeniably fun, Felt 2 is also structurally tight and full of moments that reward repeat listens. The chemistry between Murs and Slug is effortless, and their shared sense of humor, timing, and respect for the craft creates a lasting impression. It’s a standout entry in the canon of early-2000s indie hip-hop, and one that’s long overdue for a proper vinyl reissue.

JUST IN - Holly Cook - Shy Girl (Mr Bongo)

Vinyl LP £22.99 Add to basket
Orange Vinyl LP £24.99 Add to basket

Almost fifteen years since the release of her self-titled debut LP on Mr Bongo, reggae's orator of love Hollie Cook is returning to the label for Shy Girl, her fifth studio album and her most authentic yet Woven with tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies, Shy Girl hears singer and songwriter Hollie Cook revel in her contemporary lovers rock sound, more confident and open to vulnerability than ever before.

A sun-drenched exploration of love in all its guises, Shy Girl tells stories of the magical and the melancholy, the heart-lifting and heart-breaking, across 12 luscious, analogue reggae compositions - the culmination of a soft- hued and instantly recognisable "tropical pop" sound that Cook has made her own. Put together across three years and four cities - from LA and NYC, to Vejer de la Frontera in Spain and Cook's hometown London - Shy Girl was written with long- time collaborators, The General Roots Band, and features a contribution from legendary dub MC Horseman, who lends his voice to the album's first single 'Night Night'.

The album opens with the title track 'Shy Girl', a buoyant and elastic slice of lovers rock that was written in a moment of spontaneous intuition, and bubbles with a charisma and positivity that Cook radiates. "I'm not a natural show-off," Cook explains. "The Shy Girl theme is me. It's just about being my most vulnerable self and being as true to the music that I Iove as possible." It is this honesty which shines throughout, from the chugging deep dub of 'Frontline', complete with raking electric guitar lines, to the bittersweet roots ballad 'We Share Love', which closes out the album.

It's clear to see that Cook's songwriting draws on a lifetime of musical influences and inspirations. From her father, Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook's record collection and touring with post- punk icon Ari Up's The Slits, to her love for strong female- led pop music and the bassweight of London's sound system culture. Enamoured with the music of Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon, Shy Girl represents a homecoming and a coming-of-age for Hollie Cook, distilling and refining a shimmering reggae sound that will capture your heart, as it first captured hers.

1. Shy Girl 2. Ooh Baby 3. Rockaway 4. Night Night 5. Holding On 6. In The Pictures 7. Frontline 8. Take Me In Your Arms 9. Crying Wolf 10. River Runs Deep 11. Hello Operator 12. We Share Love

Vinyl LP £22.99 Add to basket

Under the darkness of the Black Sky, Public Enemy returns to shed light. After a five-year hiatus, the legendary duo Chuck D and Flavor Flav return with a thunderous statement: a brand-new Public Enemy album that reaffirms their place as one of the most vital voices in hip-hop history Known for pioneering politically charged rap since the late '80s, Public Enemy continues to wield their mic like a megaphone for the people, blending righteous fury with razor-sharp analysis of a world in turmoil.

From their groundbreaking debut Yo! Bum Rush the Show to the seismic It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, the group has always been more than music--it's been a movement.

This new release is no exception. From the blistering opening track "Siick," which diagnoses the sickness infecting modern society, to the devastating critique of gun violence in "March Madness," Public Enemy sounds as urgent and uncompromising as ever. Chuck D's commanding baritone delivers truth with surgical precision, while Flavor Flav injects energy and raw emotion into every verse and hook. The production is as rugged and shapeshifting as the times: boom-bap grit meets digital dissonance, turning every beat into a battleground.

More than three decades into their career, Public Enemy remains unafraid to speak truth to power, challenge injustice, and wake the masses. This album isn't just a comeback -- it's a reminder that the red, Black, and green machine still roars, stronger and more necessary than ever.
