His broadest and most diverse project yet, the 11-track project moves from deep house to jazz, from ambience to the percussive charge of afrobeat. It’s all held together by his singular sense of purpose and that trademark vivacity; deftly finessed, it’s an album that works as a form of musical autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe debut album is led by new single ‘Woman’, a fantastic blend of digital production and organic musicianship. A warm bed of notes pirouettes around an emphatic vocal from Låpsley, resulting in a song that moves between the cavernous house of Moodymann, say, and the neo-psychedelic tones of shoegaze. “I sent it out,” he recalls, “Lapsley came back immediately with this unreal vocal. I chopped it up, re-arranged it… it’s one of those things that fell into place.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Woman’ follows the emphatic success of recent single ‘Sunsleeper’, which landed in the opening weeks of 2023. A dextrous and ambitious talent, Barry Can’t Swim embraces the energy of club music while also blending this with organic elements. “For me, I want it to have musicality to it,” he says of his debut album. “I wanted it to have the energy of electronic music but also with a more organic live element. I feel like I’m more of a musician than anything else. I’m a producer but I like writing music on instruments.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpanding on this early promise, Barry Can’t Swim doubles down for his debut album, producing a work that feels complex but intricately unified. Utilising afrobeat drum loops for the title track, he works with choral harmonies on ‘Always Get Through To You’, and samples seminal Brazilian group Trio Ternura on joyous album highlight ‘Dance Of The Crab’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You only get to make your debut album once,” he points out. “So I want to showcase all the elements of the things I enjoy and love in music up to this point.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ninjatunemerch","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44554910072991,"sku":"ZENCD291","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":44554910105759,"sku":"ZEN291","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":44554910138527,"sku":"ZENCAS291","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/products\/when-will-we-land-main.jpg?v=1746164461"},{"product_id":"zendnl244","title":"Bicep - Bicep","description":"\u003cp\u003eBicep - the Belfast-born, London-based duo of Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson - are pleased to announce their self-titled debut album, a record that truly encapsulates their history and the distillation of their passion for music and club culture since their first release in 2010, via Ninja Tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003cp\u003eWith the announcement, they share lead single (and album closer) ‘Aura’; a complex and propulsive club track that channels their love for all things synth related. Until now, Aura has simply been tagged as ‘Unreleased Bicep’ on countless bootleg recordings from recent gigs with thousands of streams, uploaded by fans trying desperately to ID and get their hands on the track.  “It was a happy experiment… you might call it an accident,” they explain. “We’d been playing with this specific and very complicated gear-chain for a while but nothing worked, or didn’t feel musical enough… then it all just fell into place and ‘Aura’ appeared.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp\u003eBicep are first and foremost music lovers with a deep-rooted knowledge and passion for music of all varieties. Having been introduced to electronic music through the likes of Aphex Twin and Laurent Garnier, they started digging deeper into IDM, italo, techno, electro, jungle \u0026amp; everything in between. \r\n \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the span of their 10-year career, they have celebrated the music that inspires them via their Feelmybicep blog, initially an outlet for, and now a contributing factor to, their intense record collecting habit. Founded in 2008, its runaway success (it now sees over 100,000 visitors a month) spawned a record label of the same name, a club night, and took the duo out of the UK and embedded them on the international stage via highly sought after DJ sets that reflected the eclecticism celebrated on their blog - an impeccably curated blend of upfront tracks and exclusive edits mixed with deep-dug house and disco cuts (rediscovered, dusted off and given a new lease of life). Accordingly they are venerated as trusted and esteemed curators in electronic music today. \r\n \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting their production teeth with releases on Throne Of Blood, Traveller Records, Mystery Meat and Love Fever, Will Saul then snapped up the duo for a string of releases on his Aus Music imprint, including the now certified classic “Just EP” bearing the dazzling and ubiquitous title track that became the undisputed club track of 2015 and earned Bicep both Mixmag and DJ Mag’s ‘Track of the Year’. The duo have also collaborated with another trailblazing UK duo Simian Mobile Disco and remixed for the likes of Disclosure, Blood Orange and 808 State.\r\n \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formidable DJs (#8 in Resident Advisor’s 2016 poll) have toured the world over, curating and selling out a long list of Feel My Bicep parties including Manchester Warehouse Project, a 12-week residency at XOYO and their annual Italo Disco parties. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016 Andy and Matt built and tested a roof-raising live show - a powerful counterpoint to their much loved DJ sets that not only highlights the breadth and depth of the Bicep discography, brings to the fore both their skilful production and formidable engineering chops, but again reinforces their genius curatorial flair. Earlier this year they took Coachella and Primavera festivals by storm and sold out their recent London show at Village Underground in 3 minutes flat. Following the album’s release, they’ll embark on an extensive live headline world tour including a stop at Electric Brixton in London. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003cp\u003eThe album “Bicep” is the perfect summation of the duo’s career to date - it’s a sonic tour of their history touching the cornerstones of underground club culture. Matt and Andy have pulled off the rarest of feats, to make a singularly unique electronic record founded on the blueprint of classic house, techno, electro and Italo disco, but flipped and morphed into a fresh design bearing the unique Bicep sonic signature. It’s a perfectly succinct album: loose, raw and energetic enough for the dancefloor, yet refined, artfully composed and contemplative enough for home listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003cp\u003eTheir spirited, daring approach brings them into the Ninja Tune fold. “For us it’s important to be part of a label that looks broadly at music,” Matt says. “We felt no restrictions at Ninja to be pigeonholed,” continues Andy. Displaying a theme of technical experimentalism and a deft melodic touch which runs throughout the entire record, it’s this openness and no-rules approach to music making which has allowed Bicep to establish a unique position all their own on an increasingly crowded global dance stage. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninjatune","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44932802511007,"sku":"ZENCD244","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":44932802543775,"sku":"ZEN244","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/products\/bicep-main.jpg?v=1736247277"},{"product_id":"zendnl261xd","title":"Bicep - Isles (Deluxe)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOut now, the digital deluxe album comes with three new tracks—”Siena (Feat.

It also represented the genesis of a close-knit, localised movement that won global recognition. Executively produced by Thundercat’s longtime musical partner Flying Lotus, the album features an insanely talented crop of young Los Angelians and kindred spirits. Among them, fellow Young Jazz Giants: Kamasi Washington, Cameron Graves and Ronald Bruner Jr, the quartet with whom Thundercat cut his teeth; the brilliant pianist Austin Peralta (who tragically passed away in 2012), Brandon Coleman, Taylor Graves, Hadrien Féraud and Oliver Johnson (Dorian Concept). Serving as a catalyst, the release of “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” inspired and galvanized Bruner’s peers to release their own albums, perhaps most notably Kamasi Washington’s “The Epic” (2015), the record that re-focused worldwide attention on the sheer wealth of jazz talent in LA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTestament to Bruner’s standing amongst his elders in his hometown, “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” also features Shafiq Husayn and Om’Mas Keith of Sa-Ra Creative Partners – bastions of progressive soul, hip-hop and R\u0026amp;B in LA in the 2000s – plus God-like drummer Chris “Daddy” Dave, Brook “D’Leau” Davis (J*Davey) and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.

However, they retained a healthy respect and reverence for the pioneers of progressive popular music who came before: from George Duke and Herbie Hancock to Jaco Pastorius.

His most recent record “It Is What It Is” won Best Progressive R\u0026amp;B Album at 63rd GRAMMY Awards and featured musical contributions from his friends Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, Pedro Martins and Zack Fox.

By turns lush, manic, beautiful, melancholy, joyful, packed with both emotion and technical skill, this is perhaps his most ambitious attempt yet to capture the very textures of human existence in his work, as Green says of the broad dynamics on the album, \"Life has highs, lows, loud and quiet moments, beautiful ones and ugly ones. Music is a reflection of life.\"\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn particular, there is a theme here of migration, eruditely put by Green as “The study of people and spaces,” he expands, “It’s interesting how one person will take an influence from one part of the world and move with that influence and effect another part of the world. Over time, the identities of places evolve.” It is a theme with a personal as well as a sociological aspect to it. Last year, a close family member passed away. “My family and I are all disbanded and spread to far corners of the earth,” explains Green, “In the end we did the funeral in Brighton. My own personal idea of identity, where I am from, and what home is, has played into this record and its migratory themes. Is home where you are or where you are from, when you move around?”\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener and title track ‘Migration’ sets the tone for the record – a shifting, gradually building combination of complex electronic programming (Green programmed a special algorhythm to create the drum sequencing) and live piano playing, the sense of movement in the music is palpable. ‘Outlier' channels a swinging take on 2-step back into luscious romanticism, before changing direction and finishing hard on the dancefloor (not for nothing has Bonobo talked about the central importance to the overall feel of the album of his all-night Output DJ residencies in NY and his ‘Outlier’ club curation series, where he road-tested tracks). ‘Second Sun’ mixes guitar, feedback and strings in completely unfamiliar ways. ‘Kerala’ takes a RnB vocal sample from a classic Brandy track and uses it more as texture than as voice. This innovation is expanded upon and broadened on ‘Grains’, this time with the voice of folk godfather Pete Seeger. \r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, Green continues his theme of migration, through his guests and also his choice of found sound, which both strengthen and deepen “the transitory nature of the record.” Michael Milosh, from the LA group Rhye, for instance, is originally from Canada and recorded his affecting vocal over the harp and beautiful horn work of ‘Break Apart' in a hotel room in Berlin. Green, meanwhile built the structure of the track during a transatlantic flight (another meaning of “Migration” rests in the fact of making large chunks of the record while out on the road). Nick Murphy (formerly known as Chet Faker), on the other hand, is from Australia, but a shared love of disco brought the pair together for the hugely emotive ‘No Reason’. Nicole Miglis of Hundred Waters, originally from Florida, delivers a superbly understated vocal for the glistening textures of ‘Surface’, while Moroccan band Innov Gnawa, based in New York, make up the last of the vocals, offering real grit and beauty to the housey shuffle of ‘Bambro Koyo Ganda’. Additionally, Green has used a sampler (“but not in a big boomer, wearing a cagoule kind of way.”) and woven found sounds such as an elevator in Hong Kong airport, rain in Seattle, a tumble dryer in Atlanta and a fan boat engine in New Orleans into his intricate sonics. \r\n\r\nA contemporary of artists of the status of Four Tet, Jon Hopkins and Caribou, Bonobo counts among his famous fans the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Skrillex, Disclosure, Diplo and Warpaint. His 2013 album “The North Borders” went Top 30 in the UK and was number 1 in the electronic charts in both the US and UK. In support of that record, the 12 piece band Green runs played 175 shows worldwide, including two sell outs at the Sydney Opera House, an all-day festival at the Roundhouse and a sold out show at Alexandra Palace plus a number of high profile festival slots. Bonobo has built a large, loyal and engaged global fanbase: over half a million album sales and over one hundred and fifty million streams on Spotify point to the levels of success achieved by this quiet, self-effacing man. It might be difficult to imagine it, but “Migration” will take his beautiful, emotive, intricate music to an even bigger audience.

It’s no surprise that it’s also his masterpiece. The album features Jamila Woods, Joji, Kadhja Bonet, Jordan Rakei, O’Flynn and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. Born first out of fragments of ideas and experimentation, the album ultimately was fused together in a burst of creativity fuelled by both collaboration and Green’s escape into the wild. ​​The artwork for ‘Fragments\" is by Neil Krug who returns after creating the art for 2017’s 'Migration’.

The ballads are perfectly placed throughout; they capture a world in flux and glow with hope. Coaxing the ideas out initially took some hard work. The constantly-touring Green creates best while on the move; the global shutdown forced him to stand still. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusical themes began to arise through Green’s exploration of modular synthesis, recordings he had made of harpist Lara Somogyi, his work with arranger and string player Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, his own playing of the Fender Rhodes and more, as the album was created, recorded and mixed by Green over the past two years. The album also came into focus as he sought refuge on solo adventures into nature, away from the shutdowns and wild fires and into the blazing California desert. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Tides,” featuring Chicagoan singer and poet Jamila Woods, acted as a catalyst, and the album began to click into place around it. “I knew I had a centrepiece, I knew how it was all going to sound,” he says. Working with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, musical themes began to emerge. Recording orchestral musicians in actual studios helped bring the songs “out of the box” even more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rhythmic framework started to come together too: the structures of UK bass music and rave began to seep into beats that would become tracks like “Otomo” (eventually co-produced by O’Flynn and featuring a sample of the Bulgarian choir 100 Kaba-Gaidi), and “Sapien.” The ”old school, Detroity, Moodymann and Theo Parrish inspired” “Shadows” was recorded with friend Jordan Rakei.  “Rosewood,” “Closer” and “Counterpoint” each start with an ecstatic snap to them, but snake down surprisingly different paths. Somogyi's harp and Atwood-Ferguson's strings mingle together on the beatless “Elysian.” Two ballads flesh out the second half of the record: “Day by Day” featuring Kadhja Bonet and “From You” featuring Joji. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's about the dancefloor in many ways, about how “I remembered all over again how much I loved crowds and movement and people connecting with each other,” Green reflects.

Climbing towards his desperate exclamation of - \"it's black country out there!\" - the song caves in on itself during a blistering, caustic final breakdown.

It’s a track that frontman Isaac Wood calls “the best song we’ve ever written.” It’s a chaotic yet coherent creation that ricochets around unpredictably but also seamlessly. “We threw in every idea anyone had with that song,” says Wood. “So the making of it was a really fast, whimsical approach - like throwing all the shit at the wall and just letting everything stick.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut “For the first time” is a certain 2021 Album of the Year, having received ecstatic reviews from critics and fans alike as well as being shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

To celebrate the announcement, Elkka has shared the sweetly intimate lead single ‘Make Me’, a delicious yet cavernous electronic dance track that explores Elkka’s sensual joy as a bold, queer woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Make me love you, make me love you, make me love you,” so begins ‘Make Me’; all heavy repetitive beats and glistening, syrupy vocal samples. Much of Elkka’s debut album Prism of Pleasure is like this: warmth and coldness rubbing against each other sonically, pulling the listener in unexpected directions. “I like to go through different genres and moods and surprise you,” says Elkka. Written over the space of 18 months, Prism of Pleasure encapsulates Elkka’s essence as an LGBTQ+ artist who pushes freedom and sensuality to the forefront of her work. It hasn’t always been like this: born and raised in South Wales, with next to no queer community in her immediate vicinity, Elkka had to piece together her identity slowly and curiously, gradually finding herself along the way. After coming out and moving to London in her 20s, the musician started DJing, writing and producing, which eventually led to her launching her own record label, femme culture, and running her own queer club nights off the back of that. “I think sometimes things unlock, and start to make sense and then you just follow it,” Elkka says now. “I started to go out more and become part of a community. I was more confident in myself, so I was more confident in writing and producing – it all came together at the same time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten around the notion of queer intimacy, Prism of Pleasure is like a peep into a steam-filled room of wonders, via the female gaze (a concept beautifully represented in the pink-tinged album artwork, photographed by Elkka’s wife and longtime creative collaborator Alex Lambert). From the smooth, silken vocals of ‘Crushhh’ to the slow-winding, breathy beats of ‘Your Skin’ (“I’m breathing you in, I want to taste every inch of your skin”) and the steady, undulating synth patterns of ‘surrender2me’, Prism of Pleasure unfurls like a patchwork of sweat-slick nights, emotional connectedness and hidden pleasures. “It’s like a celebration of [how far] I’ve come,” explains Elkka. “I was never taught about queer pleasure. I was never taught how important that is – not just sexually but generally in life. So I wanted to explore all of that more deeply.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Prism of Pleasure is the result of Elkka opening herself up in new ways, and being as authentic as possible. “I wanted a rawness to this album,” she says. “It’s something that can be felt, and that helps you connect with someone that’s listening to it, if you’re willing to expose a part of yourself. And again, this is all really transferable to relationships, and being with someone, all of that stuff. and that’s why these things overlap for me.

Now friends, the two collaborated on “Real Hot n Naughty”, a queer dance track full of Scouse raps and endless charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A large part of the reason why Felix and I instantly bonded is because of our queer working-class backgrounds, and our pride around that as well,” Jordan says. “Our aim with this track is to make a real queer northern dance anthem. A lot of working-class, northern humour is ‘things are a bit shit, but whatever. We’ll take the piss”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pair performed it together in an unplanned moment at the sold-out ‘I. JORDAN \u0026amp; Friends’ at Corsica Studios, a party with a majority trans lineup (Felix Mufti, Planningtorock, Romy, Sister Zo, FAFF, and Tee). There, Jordan was able to see a crowd that reflected their experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single arrives alongside a strikingly fun and joyful video. Directed by Elif Gonen,  we see Jordan, Felix and friends transform a local bingo hall into a party with the local townspeople, celebrating the importance of community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeaking on the project Felix comments, “this celebration of our unhinged family is my proudest project to date. Told through a working-class lense that has defined so much of me and Jordan as artists, I couldn’t be happier to finally share this story with the world”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We had the idea of doing the video in a bingo hall as it connected to our upbringing and spaces we spent a lot of time in when we were growing up” Jordan adds, “Sprucing them up and reclaiming them to be full of queer and trans joy felt important and symbolic to me as it connected two important parts of my identity that aren’t often merged together. We wanted to make something fun, cute and cheeky and fuck all the tories”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite being self-titled, I AM JORDAN is a product of its community, as Jordan explains. “Everyone is interconnected, and the idea of being an individual is a bit of a myth…I wouldn’t be who I am without everyone else around me. My friends, especially friends who have supported me through all the transition stuff, my trans friends that I’ve relied on, Reddit groupchats - it’s all so important. In the trans community, none of us do this on our own.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninjatune","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":44934154420383,"sku":"ZEN304","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":44934154453151,"sku":"ZENCD304","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/i-am-jordan-2.jpg?v=1736246921"},{"product_id":"bd051xx","title":"King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader + Anti-Matter 7” Reissue","description":"\u003cp\u003e20th anniversary edition.

For his 41st birthday, on March 4th, he ventured out to Joshua Tree National Park, California, to seek clarity and inspiration for what became his 11th studio album as Machinedrum; 12 high-intensity, ruminative tracks that thread the needle between his past, present and future selves. “I’ve been to Joshua Tree many times and I’ve always felt a great sense of clarity every time I visit,” Stewart explains, “and I knew that I should, at some point in my life, go out there to work on something creatively.” \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3FOR82 builds on the vocalist-centric, genre-blending songwriting of the last Machinedrum album, 2020’s A View Of U, and the thematic groundwork laid down on 2023 EP 4#TRAX (dedicated to channel trax on IRC, a ‘90s chat platform). Between drum \u0026amp; bass, hip-hop, jazz, R\u0026amp;B and juke, dazzling beat switches and a singular ear for sonics, Stewart weaves in a crew of collaborators. Jesse Boykins III, the album’s co-executive producer and a close friend of Stewart, leads with various contributions; while a ritzy cast including Tinashe, KUČKA, Duckwrth, AKTHESAVIOR, Mick Jenkins, Ezri, Tanerélle, Deniro Farrar, Topaz Jones, deem spencer, aja monet, ROZET, Will Johnson and Ian Maciak rounds the record off. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis rich, prismatic approach to collaboration builds on the uptempo vocal manipulations that won Stewart acclaim in electronic communities, notably on 2011’s breakout LP Room(s) and 2013 opus Vapor City. 3FOR82’s lead single ‘ZOOM’, featuring Tinashe, kicks off the campaign on March 4th; the album is due for release on May 24th, through Ninja Tune, accompanied by a boutique printed zine, co-designed with visual artist and LuckyMe affiliate Joseph Durnan [124 World].

Silva recalled watching a DVD on repeat with his father; ‘Concert for George’, a star-studded tribute to late Beatles member George Harrison performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2002, featuring legendary Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar with daughter Anoushka, alongside Western icons Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and ELO’s Jeff Lynne. This intersection of musical styles was reflected in the record collection of Silva's father, where the sounds of iconic Bollywood vocalists Asha Bhosle and the Mangeshkar lineage sat alongside music from blues legends like B.B. King and Muddy Waters. In particular, Silva was drawn to the fusion of Western musical styles and traditional Indian music; a concept pioneered by Indian artists like R.D. Burman, Ananda Shankar, and fraternal duo Kalyanji-Anandji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cross-pollination of East and West, of old and new, is a sentiment that the band have sought to capture in their self produced works.

Alongside the announcement, the band shares their new single out “Make Friends,” the second offering from their upcoming project following their previously-released single “Everything’s Beautiful.” The band are also sharing a visual announcement of the album revealing the playful 3-D world of a family supermarket that the band have created to accompany the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA final unscripted addition to the album, “Make Friends” was inspired by words of wisdom imparted to the band by a friend who noted, “You don’t make friends, you recognize them.” Succinct yet profound, this sage insight reminded Nai of the lack of representation for deep, platonic love. “I wanted to have representation for just the different examples of people that I love from the women in my life, to the men, to my non-binary friends,” she shares, “and it was very natural and fun to work on as a formula.” The single is composed of one verse, but Nai takes that one verse through three gender permutations: female, male, and nonbinary. Nai adds, “When I sang the third verse, the ‘them\/they’ verse, I actually had to stop. Just realizing that inclusivity is so often denied to some of the people that I love the most, my best besties.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Heart Cheat Code is a snapshot of four musicians dancing together on the edge, 11 playful, exuberant tracks that shine light. Yet, for a band that made a name for itself with its complexity and received critical praise and multiple Grammy nominations for their embrace of maximalism, one of the most striking things about Love Heart Cheat Code is its simplicity. “I’m a maximalist. I complicate fucking everything,” Nai laughs. “But the more you go through things in life, you become more relaxed and uninhibited. Sometimes you can still have depth and reach people and really stop dancing around the fact: What do you want to communicate to people? And I feel like this album is a result of that clarity for us. We didn’t need to spell out complexity if the song didn’t call for it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the forthcoming album, the band’s direction is not always attained directly; less deliberate, and more via deliberation and drift: in jam sessions that last late into the night and early mornings; in meals shared; in messing around with equipment and with each other. The album also features other Melbourne-based musicians like Taylor “Chip” Crawford, who played an instrument of his own invention called the frello; guitarist Tom Martin; and flautist Nikodemos; and the unprecedented addition of a very important creative force: Mario Caldato, whose work with the Beastie Boys and Seu Jorge is the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiatus Kaiyote have always spoken about their albums as microcosms, a complete ecosystem. On Love Heart Cheat Code the band envisioned a strong visual world to coincide with the music and they worked with Sri Lanken born, Toronto based multimedia artist Rajni Perera using one of her paintings as the artwork for the album. Illustrator Chloe Biocca and Grey Ghost then collaborated with the band to create visual symbols and associated artifacts for each of the tracks on the project that pair alongside Rajni’s painting. The artifacts morphed into real products, custom jewelry, edible goods, ranging from the inspired to the haunted and utterly random. Eventually this led the band to conceive of an entirely imagined place, a Love Heart Cheat Code supermarket. The band; its employees who create these products, market them, stack the shelves, clean the aisles. In the banality of creating art into ‘product’ for the modern world the band find solace in each item and song as they are packed with transcendent and resplendent musical magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the album, Hiatus Kaiyote emphasizes sensing rather than knowing, a type of trust that can only be brought through creative harmony and hours of studio sessions. The result is a wide-eyed, cohesive, yet relaxed body of work that reflects a deeper understanding of themselves and the music they wish to share with the world around them. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP (Hand-stamped White Label)","offer_id":45366228713631,"sku":"BF144WL","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP (Deluxe Glow In The Dark)","offer_id":45366228615327,"sku":"BF144X","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":45366228582559,"sku":"BF144","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":45366228680863,"sku":"BFCAS144","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":45366228648095,"sku":"BFCD144","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/0035460247_10.jpg?v=1736246330"},{"product_id":"bfdnl146","title":"Louis Cole (with Metropole Orkest \u0026 Jules Buckley) - nothing","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany still see Louis Cole foremost as a drummer. nothing, Cole's fifth album and his third on Brainfeeder – released on 9th August 2024 – is bound to change that impression. Collaborating with the Metropole Orkest and Jules Buckley, he rejected the well-trodden path to orchestral renditions of his greatest hits and instead opted to compose a suite of brand new music for this project – bigger, bolder, and more expansive than ever. Yes, there are nods to his GRAMMY-nominated 2022 album Quality Over Opinion, but 15 of the 17 tracks included here are brand new. This is jazz. This is classical music. It's got that funk. You'll hear synths and loops. You'll hear a band and live drumming. There's a world class orchestra playing. Some pieces are ultra concise, whereas the sprawling ‘Doesn’t Matter’ surpasses the ten minute mark. To Cole, jazz has always been the one place where you can really let go of all expectations – on nothing, he is putting the music where his mouth is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Metropole Orkest proved to be the ideal partner for this endeavor. Over the course of its 80 year history, it has worked with legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Pat Metheny, and Herbie Hancock – exactly the kind of border-crossing mentality Cole was looking for. Add into the equation the conductor, arranger, curator and composer Jules Buckley and this really is a triple threat of epic proportions. Buckley is a unique and rare breed of artist – a GRAMMY winner who has redefined the rulebook of orchestral music and the role of a conductor. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, the ensemble embarked on a multi-date sold-out tour through Europe with the 50-piece orchestra, Cole's band, as well as guest stars like his long-time creative partner Genevieve Artadi. With the exception of a few vocal re-recordings and instrumental overdubs, everything you'll hear on nothing was culled from these ecstatic live dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is remarkable because, almost until the very end, nothing was not actually an album. It was a collaboration, a series of concerts, a cross-over between two worlds. Cole had been eagerly waiting for an opportunity like this for years. His father had been a big classical music fan and as a kid, he'd absorbed a lot of that. Once he got the call to work on a project involving an orchestra, he instantly “went hard” with the writing. The finished recording encompasses 17 tracks and stretches across more than an hour of music – and still, a few more tracks had to be left on the cutting room floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCole was looking for something very specific. The challenge was to create music that had a deep emotional impact, while also being really simple and straight-forward. Already at the earliest stages of his orchestral ambitions, he had tried and failed to achieve this ideal. It would remain an obsession for years. Even when nothing was still a live project, it didn't seem like he would be able to pull it off. And then, at the very last minute, Louis decided to give it one more go. One night, he sat down at the keyboard and instantly realised: “This is it!” He struck on the ideas and themes which would become the pivotal title track of the album. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as with many of the orchestral pieces, there was a clear vision of the feeling and the sound he was looking for. For “Ludovici Cole Est Frigus”, he based everything on a 30-40 chord progression at a pace of “one chord at a time”. Then, he went back in with the pencil tool and Logic, finding and weaving together little melodies. It was a slow, assiduous process. But working with an outside arranger was never an option: “It was the only way I was ever going to be happy with the results. This is my pure vision. It doesn't get blended in or mixed with anyone else's.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving already written and arranged the suite, Cole is also very proud of the mixing, an epic task in its own right. For a full nine months, he selected the best takes, tweaked the sonic balance and adjusted frequencies until the orchestral parts really shone. “I was sad when the mixing was over,” he laughs, “Sometimes, when I'm mixing my own solo stuff, I'll feel like a song needs a little magical dust. But mixing an entire orchestra and your own rhythm section, there's so much human energy! You don't have to add any magic. It was there the whole time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enothing is released on 9th August 2024 via Brainfeeder Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"2xLP (Exclusive)","offer_id":45366229827743,"sku":"BF146X","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":45366229794975,"sku":"BF146","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":45366229860511,"sku":"BFCD146","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/0035798519_10.jpg?v=1736246329"},{"product_id":"zendnl305","title":"salute - TRUE MAGIC","description":"\u003cp\u003eVienna by way of Manchester artist, salute, announces their forthcoming album TRUE MAGIC due July 12th on Ninja Tune.

I cannot tell you how many late night air guitar jams I have had to that album in my living room,” says LP Giobbi of today’s release. “I just about passed out when they asked me to remix one of their songs a couple years ago and then again when they sent me some tunes to work on, including what is now 'Bittersweet'. The vocal is one of the most attention grabbing melodies I have heard in a long time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDotr is the much anticipated follow up to 2023 breakout, Light Places, the album that earned her the title of DJ Mag’s Best Producer of 2023 and placed her among NPR’s Favorite New Musicians of 2023, Spotify RADAR’s Artists to Watch, Amazon’s Artists to Watch, and TIDAL’s Artists to Watch 2023. With 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 340M+ streams across platforms, LP Giobbi has graced massive festival stages — Coachella, Tomorrowland, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza, plus Kappa Futur, Arc Music Festival, Lost Village, Portola appearances set for later this year — and crowded club floors while touring with the likes of Mochakk, DJ Tennis, John Summit, Diplo, Dead \u0026amp; Co, Black Coffee, and frequent collaborator Sofi Tukker. LP Giobbi is also known for re-imaginings of her beloved Grateful Dead and Taylor Swift, and recently released the standalone single “Feel (ft. Jacob Banks)”, which will be featured on Dotr and was praised by Billboard for “building to a kind of serenely dancing with your eyes closed kind of place.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from candid recordings of friends and mentors, vocal lines from peers and heroes — including Brittany Howard, Panama, Danielle Ponder, and more — and warm, rich melodies, Dotr is LP Giobbi’s attempt to capture the comforts of home between hundreds of days spent on the road and between studios. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed for the way she signed notes to her parents as a kid, Dotr is a celebration of both what she has and has lost. Built around a triage of grief, Dotr opens with loss: first, there was Patricia Lynn, the mother-in-law she had loved for a dozen years. Then there was Carolyn Horn, her piano teacher since second grade and an early electronic music student at the University of Oregon. She taught Chisholm not just what it was to play and compose, but what it was to create without inhibition. And finally, there was Suse Millman, a longtime friend of her parents who was the only professional artist she knew as a child, and thus a formative example for turning creative passion into a realized dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScattered throughout Dotr are real, raw memories for LP Giobbi: a final birthday voicemail from Patricia Lynn and the recording of one of her last conversations with Carolyn Horn. But while the album was borne of grief, at large, this is a joyous project that overcomes sadness through the exaltant revelation of what it means to live. “Is This Love” is wonderfully cinematic disco, “Carolyn” feels like an ode to chances unapologetically taken. There are songs of love and reconciliation, hymns of grief and belief, and anthems of anxiety and ecstasy — no one emotion is complete without its equal opposite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When I was young I used to write my parents little notes and leave them under their pillow or around the house and I would sign them “love, Dotr” as I was (and still am) the world's worst speller. To this day when they write me a birthday card or whatever, they start it “Dear Dotr.,”” shares LP Giobbi on the inspiration for the album. “This album is a lot about what it is to be a daughter, have a daughter and love a daughter, as well as a way of honoring some of the most important women in my life. There are also a lot of themes tied to home (the ones we create or the ones we were born into) which, for me, are reflected through my identity as a daughter.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmidst the chaos of her rapidly growing career, LP Giobbi’s music always brings her back to the place that sent her into this world. On the last song on the album, LP Giobbi sings for the first time on record: “Mama, mama, many worlds I’ve come\/Since I first left home.” It’s a fitting testament to the whirlwind of her life, to one of the most exciting arcs and outlooks of anyone making electronic music right now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":45834211721375,"sku":"COUNT279","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/dotr-main.jpg?v=1736246312"},{"product_id":"zen88xx","title":"Blockhead - Music By Cavelight (20 Year Anniversary Reissue)","description":"","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"4xLP","offer_id":45834211754143,"sku":"ZEN88XX","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/music-by-cavelight-20-year-anniversary-reissue-main.jpg?v=1736246310"},{"product_id":"zendnl308","title":"Tycho - Infinite Health","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Infinite Health’ is the engrossing sixth album by Tycho, the two-time-GRAMMY-nominated project of celebrated San Francisco songwriter, musician and producer Scott Hansen. The album will be released on August 30 via Mom + Pop Records in the U.S. and Ninja Tune in the rest of the world, and is announced today with lead single and accompanying video, “Phantom”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHansen says 'Infinite Health' is \"about hope for the future and a requiem for the past.\" He explains: \"I kept thinking back to the high-water mark scene in Fear and Loathing, the author sitting at a typewriter looking out a window onto his past, trying to find meaning in the chaos. Infinite Health is about creating a space for healing and reflection, a mantra for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. At the end of the day, all we really have is our health – both physical and mental – and we wish infinite health to our family and friends. So in those ways, infinite health is a salutation and an imperative.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, the record sees him return to a more electronic-based production style, \"focusing on breaks, drums and rhythmic elements\" he says. \"Then, using that as the foundation, and having all the instrumentation follow that lead, as opposed to the other way around.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results sparkle, none-more-so than on lead single, “Phantom”, which Hansen sites as his favourite track on the album. Accompanied by a suitably iridescent, 80’s-influenced visual, the up-beat track sees Tycho’s trademark sound imbued with an Italo Disco neon noir. \"I wanted it to feel like a blend of lights in a nightclub with some unknown entity. The phantom; a moving and shifting intelligence that serves as a conduit, maybe a deeper understanding of what's beneath the surface of this all\" he comments. \"It's also about coming to terms with mortality (the phantom being the ever present spectre of mortality).\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe accompanying video was created in collaboration with visual artist Ricardo Ponce aka Pixel Flux, who made the animations, and was edited and directed by Hansen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the project’s inception in 2001, Scott Hansen has continued to evolve the Tycho sound as a leader in the electronic arena. Along the way, Tycho has earned two GRAMMY nominations and produced remixes and collaborated with countless notable artists such as ODESZA, Maggie Rogers, Little Dragon, Leon Bridges, and Death Cab for Cutie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Hansen has followed up 2020’s 'Simulcast' — a sister album to 2019’s 'Weather' — with this captivating new offering. Although it retains the personnel of recent works — as usual, Zac Brown shares guitar, and Rory O’Connor’s behind the kit — Hansen considers 'Infinite Health' to mark a fourth era for Tycho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHansen dove into the ‘Infinite Health’ recording process with aural distinctiveness, and concision, as artistic goals. “The big overarching concept, at least on the technical side, is ‘Let’s try to make this sound as different as possible, while still holding true to our roots” he explains.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese were partly achieved through an emphasis on the uptempo, danceable elements of Tycho’s sound, and keen co-production by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor.

As shown on recent summer single “Sweet Devotion” with Caroline Byrne, the first track she’s been confidently able to slot between the New York and Chicago house and techno grooves of her acclaimed DJ sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a trend that continues with the release of new single “Girls” a proper club anthem “for the girls and gays” to soundtrack messy nights, buoyed up by electro production and an earworm hook sung by Rose Gray: “it’s my body it’s my mind”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Sad Girl’ sees TSHA welcome a new era, one where she’s putting her own vocal stamp on tracks and approaching the genres she’s always wanted to, rather than seeking approval from her peers. Beyond showcasing just the euphoric or melancholy sides of her character, TSHA puts it all on display. It’s a body of work that shows it’s OK to be sad, and you can even revel in it – you can’t have the highs without the lows, after all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the second full-length from the fast-rising UK star, and follows 2022’s debut album, Capricorn Sun, which was built on bright, melodic house foundations, bringing in UK garage and rave sensibilities. The record was named Album of the Year by DJ Mag and BBC R1 Dance, while Music Tech mag made TSHA their Producer of the Year – which meant a lot, as a female producer whose production skills were often overlooked. The unifying thread in TSHA’s music is in her ability to convey emotions – take, for example, the heart-tugging ‘Sister’, which came about during the 2020 lockdown after she discovered she had a half-sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNow a rising superstar in the electronic world, TSHA has been tipped by the dance music press as well as the likes of the Observer, Billboard and Interview mag. She has appeared on the covers of Mixmag and DJ Mag, while collecting accolades such as becoming a DC-10 resident, delivering a BBC Essential Mix and more. Gearing up for even more shows, including All Points East, Lost Village and headline shows in North and South America, Europe and beyond, she’s showing no sign of slowing down.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it finds joy in hedonism and escapism, ‘Sad Girl’ is also an album that addresses difficult feelings. Interlude “Lonely Girl” channels her isolated childhood in the predominantly white town of Fareham, near Portsmouth, crafting Secret Garden-esque fairy tales in her head. “Green” was written after an argument with her partner, where she candidly sings (the album sees her debut her vocals for the first time) about toxic positivity. TSHA might radiate confidence, grinning ear to ear, in DJing videos posted on social media, but she’s also openly talked about struggles with her mental wellbeing. Titular track “Sad Girl” has a spoken word intro from Dan Whitlam, themed around feelings of loneliness and unhappiness despite being surrounded by people. Importantly though, ‘Sad Girl’ sees TSHA moving through and beyond these challenges. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with her earlier releases, ‘Sad Girl’ plays freely with genres – TSHA is someone with an encyclopaedic knowledge of music, and her personal tastes range from Pink Floyd to Caroline Polachek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere she taps into her teenage years – the title nods to emo-y MSN screen names and Hotmail addresses – and you can hear it in the strokes of ‘00s R\u0026amp;B, rude electro and anthemic techno, recalling the bittersweetness and angst of early adulthood. Amid snatches of stillness and reflection, it’s a dance record at its core: hot club bumpers rub up against hypnotic floorfillers and MTV-worthy pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inspiration for the artwork came after, aged 21, TSHA had a dream that she was trapped under ice. She’d been depressed at the time, and imagined walking over a frozen lake, it cracking and her falling into the freezing water. After fighting to try and get out, she gave in, sinking to the bottom. That dream has always stuck in her head: she linked it to feeling like she was fighting life at the time. On the album’s cover, she’s successfully pulled herself out of the ice, and is laid atop an iceberg, in a glam shot inspired by Thierry Mugler’s fashion photography from the ‘80s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":45834212442271,"sku":"ZEN310","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":45834212475039,"sku":"ZENCD310","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP (Signed White Label)","offer_id":45834212507807,"sku":"ZEN310W","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/0036316086_10.jpg?v=1736246305"},{"product_id":"bddnl010x","title":"Roots Manuva - Brand New Second Hand (25th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25th Anniversary Edition.

We use the familiar Italian analog synth found in a junkyard and a mock-choir to create a choral texture. It ends with a samba section, with two drum kits, horn section and string section partially fed through an analog synth to process it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyrically, “Metropolis” portrays the immigrant experience, highlighting the pressures and disillusionments of trying to find control, meaning, and a sense of belonging in a seemingly indifferent and foreign world, all while grappling with the compromises between pursuing art as a profession and seeking stability. It is about projecting one's hopes and desires onto a new city, the naive sense of freedom this brings, and the inevitable disillusionment and desolation that follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘New Internationale’—their musically irrepressible and emotionally sophisticated third album, and their debut for Brainfeeder—is deliberate in a way Kit Sebastian has never really been. They wrote most of it on the road, energised by the sounds they discovered as they magpied instruments during their travels—Turkish clarinet, santour, oud, gangsa, zither, harpsichord, and on and on. They cut most of the tracks in London during brief breaks, longtime drummer Theo Guttenplan and double bassist David Richardson joining a panoply of horn, string, and percussion players. And during a year off from the road, where K. and Merve could concentrate on making sure the pieces moved together, they decamped to the French countryside for two weeks, leaving the distractions and moodiness of home. They captured vocals for 14 songs there in only half that time.

The album notes a creative milestone in her productions, building a sonic narrative using her life experiences as its building blocks. “I want fans to see a different side to me musically,” Carla says. “I think most people come to my shows at clubs and festivals and see me playing lots of big club records but I want people to hear this album and really see a different side to me musically and be left surprised by the sound of it.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeckles of these moments, along with a cast of talented friends can be heard first-hand throughout ‘Sentimental’. “Trouble Symphony” opens the album with DJ Tennis right at the beginning like how he was at the start of Carla’s career. SG Lewis, acclaimed producer who joined Carlita at Senza Fine’s New York Fashion Week show last year, lends his vocals to lead single “The Moment”. “Comme Ça Voce” taps into her Italian roots, featuring vocals from Sicilian musician Orofino. Mascolo, Elderbrook, Julietta and Cleo Simone round out the list of esteemed peers who have contributed their time and talent to ‘Sentimental’.

The song serves a similar purpose as the penultimate track on ‘Sentimental’; a heartfelt statement that not only encompasses the overarching thesis to her debut, but it also cements Carlita as an exceptional producer and songwriter. “There’s so much thought process that goes into an album and that’s why it’s taken so long for me to be truly happy with it.

Chris Davids and Liam Ivory were propelled onto the world’s stage with their 2015 debut album Portraits, followed by 2019’s equally acclaimed Kingdom In Colour, both redefining soulful, downtempo electronica for a new generation. There’d been world tours, dates at majestic venues like Sydney Opera House and a roadblock set at Glastonbury, as well as Artist of the Year accolades and a hugely successful single with Khruangbin (‘Feel Good’). But nothing could have prepared the duo for what happened when they made their third album – the biggest test of their careers yet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe year 2020 was supposed to be a reset, with time set aside to work on new material. But they soon started spiralling. Chris was facing chronic insomnia and getting to grips with a recent ADHD diagnosis; Liam developed crippling anxiety – and that’s not to mention everything that was going on globally at the time. “There was a massive fallout from us touring the world and then as soon as we finished, being locked down,” says Liam. “Our mental health plummeted.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey were feeling the pressure in more ways than one, and ended up scrapping their first draft. Writing trips were booked in to help jumpstart a new creative flow. Then, in late 2021, Chris started experiencing chronic headaches. After one such trip the following spring – where the duo wrote some of their best music yet – he finally received the diagnosis: a rare condition called chiari malformation that causes pressure on the brain. “It was brutal,” says Chris, while Liam adds: “It was heartbreaking to see him try and push on in the studio, sometimes he would keel over from the pain and then try to push on with work again.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually, something had to give. Chris underwent surgery in November 2023, just as their album was coming close to being finished. The experience has brought Maribou State – friends since their teens back in Hertfordshire, just outside of London – close like never before. That album, poignantly titled Hallucinating Love, is imbued with a special warmth, the kind of rush of being with your friends in a festival field, hugging them tightly, and of triumphing over a challenging few years. The pair also made the difficult decision to delay its release, so that Chris could have the recovery time he needed. There were serious complications with surgery and, at one point, concerns that he might not make it. Thankfully he pulled through – and the duo are grateful to their fans for their support. “They’ve been so compassionate and understanding during this time, it’s been really amazing,” says Chris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHallucinating Love is worth the wait: it’s ambitious, packed with sublime anthemia, and is injected with restless energy, soaring strings and stunning guest vocals from long-standing collaborator Holly Walker and new friends like MOBO-nominated artist Andreya Triana. It evidences Maribou State’s evolving balance of intimacy and intricacy, as well as their knack for making epic sundown music. Says Liam: “When we were writing, we were imagining how great it’d feel to finally be back onstage, bringing people together again.” The overall feeling is one of hope. Hallucinating Love is “about being in a dark place, a place of struggle, and then looking forward to bright futures,” Chris explains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey established new healthier, more structured ways of working – “involving lots of matcha tea!” quips the latter. “We reframed the way that we approached making music,” adds Liam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“It's essentially been musical therapy,” says Chris. “It has just got us to communicate better, and that has been really powerful.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking more closely with others also helped to mine musical gold, at various recording sessions in bucolic settings around the country. Liam and Chris invited along collaborators like incredibly talented producer Jack Sibley and bassist Jonjo Williams, creating little makeshift communities wherever they went. It infused their music with a new energy. On the album’s lead single ‘Blackoak’, you can even hear an amateur choir of friends, recorded in the stairwell of an old country house during one of their stays. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHallucinating Love has an earthy charm, echoing the countryside settings of those writing retreats. The woody soul of ‘Blackoak’ is buoyed by beautiful strings and syrupy analogue synth, or there’s the cabin-folk of ‘Rolling Stone’ and the Celtic marching drums of standout track ‘Peace Talk’, on which Holly Walker delivers a truly superb vocal performance. She returns on another highlight, ‘Otherside’, too – a joyful blast of soul-pop that evokes careening along the coastline in California. The field recordings and samples in their music – for which the duo are known – give their sound a richly layered texture, like a dusty cassette tape found in the bottom of a glovebox. And here they take it all to the next level: ‘Dance on the World’, ‘Otherside’, ‘Peace Talk’ are among their most expansive tunes yet – evidencing just their skill as songwriters. Second single ‘All I Need’ is classic Maribou, a trick-mirror of melancholy and hope, with Andreya Triana’s gorgeous vocal cushioned by a propulsive, glitchy trip-hop beat, brightly-lit guitar and ghostly omnichord. This being Maribou State, the songs are evocative and full of gorgeous details – see ‘Bloom’’s guitar line, unfurling like a flower, with drum flourishes that gently recall old-skool rave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrucially, the duo wanted to reflect the lineage of great British electronic music, from jungle and UK garage to IDM and trance, and celebrate its influence as well as their place in that history. “We’ve always been very hidden in the project, and revelled in the ambiguity and anonymity,” admits Liam. “But as we've gotten older, we've wanted to show who we are much more. And naturally it made sense to then point towards British dance music culture because it's something to be really proud of.” There are some left-turns too you might not expect from the pair, too. The kosmische groove of Ekos (say it echoes) stands out, and was the first song that Chris wrote for the album, sampling his father’s old Eko guitar. “It's the first time I'd sung on anything of ours that's been released,” he says. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven during their darkest days, Maribou State found a way to challenge themselves and push themselves creatively forward. And they’re entering this new phase stronger than ever before – not just as producers but as artists too. “We’re so much more connected as a duo now,” says Liam. “We’re more grounded and resilient.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":46724374233247,"sku":"ZEN296","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP (Unique Recycled LP)","offer_id":46724374266015,"sku":"ZEN296N","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP (White Label)","offer_id":46724374298783,"sku":"ZEN296W","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":46724374331551,"sku":"ZENCD296","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":46724374364319,"sku":"ZENCAS296","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/hallucinating-love-main.jpg?v=1736246290"},{"product_id":"zendnl313","title":"Yukimi - For You","description":"\u003cp\u003eYukimi, the celebrated vocalist and co-founder of Grammy-nominated outfit Little Dragon, announces the release of her debut album For You, which is set for release on March 28th on Ninja Tune.

A path that includes the release of two UK Top 5 albums (‘Migration’ and ‘Fragments’), billions of streams, collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu \u0026amp; Damon Albarn, and multiple BRIT \u0026amp; GRAMMY-nominations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the record, Green collaborates with a typically striking cast of artists including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes, Nilüfer Yanya, Ichiko Aoba, Nicole Miglis \u0026amp; Aanya Martin. Lyrics appear in English, Urdu and Japanese, while historic Iranian samples \u0026amp; guzheng recordings sit alongside Green's own meticulously processed instrumentation, woven together across recording sessions spanning LA, Tokyo, London and beyond – with a significant portion of the record completed at Neil Young’s legendary Broken Arrow Ranch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis acclaimed live show has also helped redefine what electronic music can look like on stage, taking him from sold-out performances at Sydney Opera House, Red Rocks \u0026amp; Alexandra Palace – plus a historic five-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall – to major festival stages including Glastonbury, Coachella and Fuji Rock. Alongside the new album he also unveils a brand new Bonobo Live show, designed by Pierre Claude (Air, Gesaffelstein, Phoenix \u0026amp; Caroline Polachek), kicking off with a tour across North America this Fall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP (Black Double Vinyl)","offer_id":62811176337567,"sku":"ZEN328","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP (Pastel Blue Double Vinyl)","offer_id":62811176370335,"sku":"ZEN328DNC","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":62811176403103,"sku":"ZENCD328","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/distance-in-static-main.jpg?v=1781071874"},{"product_id":"bddnl323","title":"Saul Williams - Leap Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his upcoming record, 'Leap Life,' Williams expands the definition of what music itself can be, operating on the philosophy that \"the voice is the instrument.\" Throughout the album, Williams speaks, chants, improvises and testifies over fluid arrangements that blur the lines between spoken word, jazz abstraction, hip-hop cadence, West African rhythmic logic, ambient composition and ceremonial sound design.

Now this is probably an overstatement of the case. Yet it’s all but justified by a vast interdisciplinary text representative not only of a problematically positivist conclusion that the avant-garde has been exclusively Euro-American, but of a deeper, perhaps unconscious, formulation of the avant-garde as necessarily not black. Part of what I’m after now is this: an assertion that the avant-garde is a black thing.”- Fred Moten\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we go searching for a Black avant-garde, we have to be prepared to look in unexpected places. The route to a Black avant-garde involves walking down – what some might consider – peculiar highways. Where they see strangeness, a road leading them nowhere, we see nothing but beauty. The paths Darren Cunningham went down, the highways he took to make Actress, are a chapter in the story of the Black avant-garde. Cunningham the footballer. Cunningham the Wulfrunian. Cunningham the ex-footballer. Cunningham the DJ. Cunningham the Londoner. Cunningham the producer. Cunningham the painter. Cunningham the writer. Cunningham the composer. This is where the Black avant-garde in Britain is made. This is where you have to go to find it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross an expansive discography of more than ten LPs, Actress has created his own arcane language of hermetic references and inter-dimensional electronic composition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRadical Frame arrives 18 years since debut album Hazyville, and it feels like an apotheosis. The image realised. We get the full gamut of Actress signatures. Short bursts of broken down music. Tiny sketches of zoomed-in sound. Refracted dance floor heat. And we get more. We get appearances from CASISDEAD on ‘Live By You’ (another image, another mask) and Rainy Miller (another artist from the provinces, Preston).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, we get ‘Overchord’ - the centre of the album paired with its precursor ‘Live By You’. It arrives alongside a video by Anna van der Velde, featuring Cunningham trapped in a luxury prison of his own making, contained but not constrained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps Radical Frame is a container for everything that Cunningham has built so far. A frame he is handing over to the next in line. The next artist to make their own way in the Black British avant-garde. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP (Black Vinyl)","offer_id":62831541813407,"sku":"ZEN322","price":33.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP (Crystal Clear Vinyl)","offer_id":62831541846175,"sku":"ZEN322N","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":62831541878943,"sku":"ZENCD322","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/radical-frame-main.jpg?v=1784186718"},{"product_id":"zendnls736","title":"Chloé Caillet - Dance Again","description":"","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":62835380584607,"sku":"ZEN12736","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/dance-again-main.jpg?v=1784719148"}],"url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/collections\/ninja-shopify-homepage.oembed?page=7","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
