Mariko Katsuragi - Jasmine Dream
Surfing on the wave of 1980’s Nippon’s bubble of electronics and economics, fashion and the femme fatale, explosion of its pop culture and computerized technopop, and the world’s sudden fascination with everything Japan, a group of young studio musicians stemming from Tokyo’s downtown of Akihabara and Kanda came together for ad hoc recording sessions between 1982-1986. Their goal… produce the next domestic hit album, a travelogue of city pop inspired by the urban yet lonely sprawl of now globally admired Asia. Yet their vision of the concept album under the City Heights moniker never came to see the light due to the group’s sudden disbandment after the tragic loss of love.
Led by the guitarist come arranger-producer HASEGAWA Joe (Jô) and keyboardist KATSURAG Mariko, the City Heights sessions drew form Tokyo’s musical melting pot of early 1980s with a distinct blend of jazz, funk, boogie, spiced with a local touch of Nippon’s finest electronic instruments.
Now, restored, remastered and occasionally redubbed by Japanese music connoisseur Sten Saluveer aka MILDHANS, this second, highly anticipated volume will take you on a journey through the love-longing nights of Aoyama, to the festive matsuri bustle of Jô’s hometown of Kanda, the Jasmine dreaming of Taipei, and a quirky nod to a then legendary musical superhero.

Mariko Katsuragi - Game Sentaaa (JT's On Acid Mix)
Repress!
With unprecedented prosperity and growing worldwide fame in broadcast, game, and synthesizers, the 1980s Japan entered a golden decade. New genre splashes from technopop, Pacifica, and AOR/City pop merged local sensibilities with jazz-funk and Latin influences. Spiced in sugary US West coast sparkle and boasting naive lyrics with opulent arrangements and cover designs, it beamed millions of listeners on the cosmic journeys of Japan and its connections with Asia.
Looking to bet on the city pop phenomenon, a group of young, just out-of-school in-house studio players gathered for ad hoc recording sessions between 1982-1986. Spearheaded by up-and-coming associate producer and arranger HASEGAWA Joe and keyboardist KATSURAGI Mariko their goal was to produce a hit album concept with a musical journey from Japan to Asia and beyond.
Just short of wrapping a handful of test-pressings for studio and radio executives and a few tapes of demo recordings, the sessions came to an abrupt halt in 1986 with a striking personal loss. With the band's consequent disbanding and members embarking on their decades-long sessions careers, the original tapes were archived and lost in the Akihabara district for decades…
…until Japanese pop culture *connoisseur extraordinaire* and producer Sten SALUVEER aka MILDHANS discovered a rare demo of the original recordings in one of Tokyo's Ebisu district's revered vinyl bars. After a lengthy period of digging and tracings for the original tapes, the lush soundscapes of KATSURAGI Mariko and HASEGAWA Jo are finally here to take you on a jazzy journey to City Heights of Asia.

D1 Move D & Fred P - Building Bridges
D2 Move D - Perpetual State (featuring the poem 'Alles Ist Eins by Thorn Hoedh)
Move D's 'Building Bridges' is David Moufang's latest studio album. Close friends and long time collaborators, Thomas Fehlmann, Fred P, Juju & Jordash, D-Man & rEAGENZ all feature alongside Benjamin Brunn. Building Bridges was recorded at reSource, Heidelberg between 1999-2019 except "One Small Step..." which was recorded at Thomas Fehlman's Space in Berlin
This album initially started out as an entry for the Inside Out series on Aus - based around the idea of collaborations with his nearest and dearest but when David sent me the music and wrote a few new tracks there was such a cohesive, timeless feel to it as a body of work I decided that it had to be a stand alone artist album. These tracks have been written over a twenty year period and involve 6 people but it sounds like it was written in one sitting. This is testament to David's creative aesthetic and the closeness of the relationship with his collaborators as a common feeling of warmth and smudged soul oozes out of every poor of this record.

Space is the place!

Besides the 1st track is an Electro hymn like the ones of E.R.P., the 2nd and 3rd tracks are the finest rhythm tools which force you to dance on the moon.

D1. Techno Thrills And Ecstasy Pills – D2. Air 2 Breathe
Release Info:
Mount Liberation Unlimited are Tom and Niklas, two Swedes from space who have spent the last 5 years
carving out a particularly vivid niche in contemporary electronic music. Their previous work has seen them
connect with an impressive list of global dance powerhouses: New York's Beats In Space, Melbourne's
Superconscious and Munich's Permanent Vacation have all released 12'' heat from the duo, while their
hometown buddies at Studio Barnhus provided an outlet for what has been perhaps their biggest and boldest
release yet, 2017's double smash single Double Dance Lover. Their live shows are fervent, fast-paced and very
multi-instrumental affairs, performed non-stop at an increasingly prestigious list of clubs and festivals, serving
as prime examples of the MLU boys' core obsession: the interaction of human rhythm and electronic pulse.
They have their own great little radio show on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM! Australia loves them! They
got their artist friend Tom-Hadar Elde to sculpt their heads for their debut album cover!
That self-titled debut, to be released May 31 on Studio Barnhus, has been in progress since the very formation
of the MLU project in 2014. It contains some of their earliest work and of course their very latest – all perfected
at the Neve desk of legendary Gothenburg studio Svenska Grammofonstudion, in cahoots with mix engineer
Christoffer Berg (Depeche Mode, Robyn, Fever Ray).
The result is a sonically fascinating, endlessly generous and straight up FUN record that takes the listener on a
joyride through bittersweet stoner disco, frenzied scando-kraut jams and some of the sweetest dance pop to
come out of Sweden this side of Super Trouper.
The record is preceded by a limited 10'' release of album track Climb Me Up, complete with an exclusive club
mix of the song.

TRACKLISTS:
A1. Snow Storm
A2. Cargo
B1. Pilot (feat. Joseph Batrouney)
B2. Storage Room (feat. Leo Yucht)
B3. Helipad
SHORT INFO:
Sean La’Brooy is an Australian producer and composer currently based in New York, who’s work traverses ambient, jazz and house music. He is the co-founder of Australian ambient label Analogue Attic Recordings. With this release, La’Brooy has hooked up with the Scissor and Thread label to put out Merchant - five dreamy and versatile tracks featuring his distinct style of harmonically complex pads mixed with jazz-influenced instrumental melodies and solos. Snow Storm starts the journey, coupling field recordings with snippets of gentle jazz lines and wandering percussion. Cargo is the most dancefloor-oriented of the release, and locks into a driving groove early on, featuring various synth and piano fragments to add and flow through the track. Pilot is a track that also finds an off-kilter groove, embellished with dubbed-out percussion by fellow Australian Joseph Batrouney and samples. Storage too features a guest—New York based drummer Leo Yucht—who delivers a rolling breakbeat which is intertwined with live percussion, airy pads and snippets of piano to build a rich atmosphere. The closing piece is Helipad, a dubby bassline providing the anchor for an intricate rhythm of bongos and synth to support a light-as-a-feather melody.

SHORT INFO:
DreamySpaceyBlue is a new Bella Boo album, written and produced early 2023 when dark times
demanded love, healing and forgiveness. Cozed-up, self-therapeutic winter-spring studio sessions
resulted in Bella's most virtuoso work yet – a collection of dazzling, emotive recordings full of bright
notes, deep vibrations and that signature “Boo mood”. The album marks a distinctive step forward in
Bella's sound: An amalgamation of the etheric sounds on her 2019 debut album Once Upon A Passion
and the ruff and rugged dance tracks on her recent Looney Talks EP.
DreamySpaceyBlue features appearances by a number of Bella's closest confidants in life and music.
The album artwork, designed by good friend Lowe Steiner, portrays her daughter Bozi, who in her turn
shot Bella's last album cover – a fitting full-circle arrangement for an album rooted in collaboration,
intimacy and love.

Josh Caffé - Darkroom Lover
Tracklisting:
A1 One Night in Paris
B1 Darkroom Lover
Short Info:
London electronic luminary Josh Caffé brings his new release "Adventures Of Mr. Freek", that forges a connection across space and time between late 1980s Chicago, and a weekend spent in the dark, grabbing, spaces of an underground nightclub. Opener "One Night In Paris" commands you while flirting on a nostalgic house riff. Straight to the lyrical point; this is a heavy, sweaty jam that pumps. "Darkroom Lover" follows, taking you by the hand and leading you to the place where feeling is believing.
