Workshop 32 (LP)
Kassem Mosse
Strong, distinct, abstract, and oddly soulful. Leipzig's Kassem Mosse once again shows why he's still one of the most interesting artists in dance music today, from abstract sound collages to weird dancefloor wigglers, one for the discerning dj and wandering mind.

ILION (LP)
SLIFT
SLIFT’s heaviest, most cosmically annihilating album yet! Over one full hour of heady space riffs, extended instrumental jams, and dynamic grooves.

Transylvanian Glare (LP)
Arnaut Pavle
Modern Black Metal triumph from Finland. A perfect blend of the First and Second Waves of Black Metal, with the raw spirit of Hardcore Punk binding everything together.

When Horses Would Run (LP)
Being Dead
Being Dead’s first full length is a fantastic representation of the things that make the band’s hometown of Austin, TX a truly weird and wonderful place. This album is full of diverse and unpredictable songwriting that veers in and out of controlled chaos. Their music recognizes the darkness that can surround modern life, but chooses to embrace it with an id-fueled spirit.

Hox (LP)
Black Market Brass
Heavy, lysergic Afrobeat with ominous horns, tons of percussion, Zamrock-style guitars, and more. In other words… pretty much everything I love about music.

…And Man Will Become the Hunted (LP)
Grief
Grief’s final album finally gets another reissue! Slow, dismal sludge with crusty blasts interspersed throughout. Grief has to be in consideration for heaviest band of all time.

King of da Playaz Ball (LP)
Kingpin Skinny Pimp
A true gem of Memphis Gangsta Rap released on vinyl for the first time ever! It’s all here: syrupy beats, screwed samples, keyboards, Pen & Pixel-style album art, and an overall sense of nihilism.

Vertumnus Caesar (LP)
Malokarpatan
Dark Heavy Metal that isn’t afraid to experiment with non-traditional sounds and structures. This Slovakian band is carrying the torch for Eastern European heavy music, taking influence from past masters like Root and Master’s Hammer.

Eccentric Boogie (LP)
Various Artists
Numero Group’s latest collection of endlessly groovy synth epics from the 80s. “The only Boogie record you’ll ever need to own” is a celebration of a glorious time when artists from Funk, Disco, and R&B all chose to embrace the seemingly unlimited possibilities of the almighty synthesizer.

Dream Scenario (BLU)
Imagine a world in which Nic Cage popped up in your dreams on a nightly basis… if only we could exist in such an absurd utopia.

Little Nicky (BLU)
This is by far my favorite Adam Sandler movie and a guaranteed good time. Also might be responsible for me liking Popeye's chicken so much.

After Hours (BLU)
Finally released on Blu-Ray. Martin Scorsese directing an all night New York odyssey by way of Joe Frank and Kafka with all of your favorite actors? This one doesn't need a description.

Shredder Orpheus (BLU)
This is a fun one. It's shot gritty on the streets of Seattle without permits and the title translates the plot of the movie. A retelling of the Orpheus myth mixed with skateboard shredding and the aesthetic peppering of Sally Cruikshank/Forbidden Zone/Pee Wees Playhouse. Watch it with friends.

Odds Against Tomorrow (BLU)
Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, Ed Begley, Shelly Winters AND Gloria Grahame star is this hate tinged, ill fated, and literally explosive noir directed by the always capable and underrated genre director Robert Wise. Also Modern Jazz Quartet does the score. If that doesn't sell the thing I don't know what will.

Space-time Dreamtime (LP)
Lori Vambe
This is so great. Got my vote for best reissue of 2023. It's a private press from the early 80's of Zimbabwean/British genius
Zoning in out and around on a homemade instrument. Subtle and deep, exciting sweet, raw and inspired. Just great.

A Lament For Epirus 1926-1928 (LP)
Alexis Zoumbas
I been loving this collection of 20s Greek music. Beautiful folk drones that reach places Free Jazz would stumble upon 50 40 years later.

Death Party (LP)
Gun Club
This gets reissued every now and again but we're due for another. Slipped by me for the first many years of my Gun Club fandom but it's damn near as good as anything they got

Skylarking (CD)
Horace Andy
Does everyone else already know about this one? I'm obsessed. A good contestant for the best reggae album i know in fact! Looping and looping in my car

Hani Polyphonic Singing in Yunnan China (LP)
Hani from Yunnan China
This is some of the wildest music I ever heard in my life. Sounds like nothing else. Played in a group with the simplest of reeds and pipes and grasses... just unbelievable. Unbelievably avant garde unbelievably beautiful
