RELEASE INFO:
Aché is “the primordial, mystical energy that exists in the universe and permeates everything in it… Aché is everything: divine grace, knowledge, authority, wisdom, and the inherited experience of all those who went before.”
It is in this force that Yoruba Soul Records is proud to present the brand new solo album by Osunlade. In the time since his last full-length (2014’s Peacock), Osunlade has continued to rock parties all over the world, overseeing releases for both Yoruba Records and Yoruba Soul Records, AND still finding time to create music amidst a very busy schedule.
“This is the album I dreamt of making…” - Osunlade
Recorded in his hometown of St. Louis, USA and spiritual home of Santorini, Greece, Aché is the continued evolution of Osunlade as songwriter, arranger, and producer. It’s all here.
The seeds of minimalist electronic funk Osunlade began to sow on albums such as Peacock and Rebirth are now in full bloom with the album opener, “Positiv’ly”. Featuring a subtle, almost avant-garde performance by Yoruba Records’ very own Quetzal Guerrero on violin, this groove will have you confused on whether to listen to this sitting down with some headphones or blasting it through your best speakers while you dance.
“Open Doors” is Osunlade at his funkiest. Starting with a drum break reminiscent of the J Dilla produced Q-Tip single “Let’s Ride” and accompanied by a killer rolling bass line, the song speaks on finding yourself and letting your truth carry you to your highest self.
“Community” is a float-like groove, with a guitar motif that both soothes and encourages a beautifully urgent and powerful call to self-determination.
The Aquarian Moon showers its lunar dust all over “Joffy’s Funk”, a luminous groove that transports us to starry nights on the mountaintops of Santorini. The composition provides us with one of Ache’s most elegant moments (of which there are many on this album).
On the other side of reality, we know there is nothing funny about the social resentment and anger that is currently building up in this historical moment. Osunlade takes us through why that is. Part-homage to his deceased father, part state-of-the-union, “Comin’ Around” is the sound of Devante Swing at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in the US south.
Of course we can’t forget our house heads, and “Same Same”, which we premiered last year in a very special limited edition single for Record Store Day, is featured here as one of the album’s most energetic moments.
There’s even some Piscean Group frequencies being dispersed through the serotonin-inducing “Seratonin,” featuring a magnificent flute performance by Han Litz.
“Poh’s Devotion” is an ethereal interlude that leads us to the closing segment of this album, a closing that finds acceptance, acknowledgment and resolution, hope, and inner peace.
This sense of renewal and outlook for a better future is deeply felt on “Flowers Bloom,” the last vocal song of the album. Osunlade proclaims “there’s no more room for feeling blue,” and a future “where governments no longer rule,” and most profoundly “I’m one, with God… at last.”
Closing this journey is “Solitude.” Accompanied by an ornate string arrangement, Osunlade plays acoustic guitar in a setting that could find a home in a Nick Drake album. It captures a poetic melancholy, not desolate, but of coming to terms with oneself.
Aché is an album that comes at the right time. A body of work to be immersed in its entirety. A sonic meditation for soul healing and recovery. An album that urges us, regardless of circumstance, to live by love above all and to let go of any fear that may block us from being us.
Flowers bloom…

Osunlade returns with yet another full length, MOSS. This one recorded during the head of the Covid 19 lock down. With a sensibility of not knowing how to react, the studio became the voice of choice in understanding and omitting the fears and negative of the unknown. MOSS unlike the 3 other full length projects produced during this time, is a simple track affair., something for the dj’s and those aspiring. Tunes to rock in your sets and /or use as elemental figures for your accapella desires. Either way, this is a simple gesture of the groove and how simplicity rules. Done completely on an ipad with no other gear, this is proof that its not the tool but the mind. We hope you enjoy this offering!
Play it loud!

release Info:
Hot on the press comes another small (big?) preview of Osunlade’s much anticipated upcoming full length, Aché.
The seeds of minimalist electronic funk Osunlade began to sow on albums such as “Peacock” and “Rebirth” are now in full bloom with “Positiv’ly”. Featuring a subtle, almost avant-garde performance by Yoruba Records’ very own Quetzal Guerrero on violin, this groove will have you confused on whether to listen to this sitting down with some headphones or blasting it through your best speakers while you dance.
On the flip side, “Look Into Myself” is a stirring ode to The eighties. Blending funk-post-punk-nu wave and everything in between, this is one of the most unique songs from Osunlade’s ever expanding catalog.
Aché is steadily approaching. Watch this space as we will announce album details very soon!

osunlade - The Waiting Game feat Rainy Payne
Yoruba Records is happy to release this dance floor ready EP by label head Osunlade. Stretching across a range of styles there’s something for everyone in this release, an absolute must for every DJ’s bag. The EP opens up with the title track, What Pho. A relaxing jam driven by a powerful sounding grand piano and complimented by shakers, the added backing percussion and subtle bird chirps lend well to the creation of this track’s rainforest-esque mystique. Next up is the deep, almost jazzy track – Jus’ Anuda Groove. The rolling bass line and four to the floor beat will get you moving – and keep you there - as Osunlade reminds us that this is just another groove. Opening up the B-side is Schavanna, a funky, guitar-driven track whose pulsating bass line and friendly but muffled vocals will keep people moving on the floor. Finally, the EP closes with The Waiting Game, a hypnotic, tribal-learning track with a foot-stomping beat, colored with the seductive vocals of Rainy Payne, it’s hard to tell which is more captivating, the groove itself or the story line she unfolds.

A very personal one indeed, yet this 8 song continuous play takes us back to the beauty of music listening. Enjoy!

As a follow up to the massive release of Osunlade’s Camera Shy Remix package, we offer you the second single taken from the album A Man With No Past Originating The Future. In this series we bring forth the helping hands of classic co –founder and all around groove master, Luke Solomon. Pulsating rhythms coupled with dubbed out basslines and stabs merge percussive nuances alongside vocal clips perfectly. To add a more diverse appeal to this release we also hired the man himself, Isolee who delivers a nice upbeat tinged version, a bit more mellow yet intense in its own right. The third offering for this package comes from long time friend and musical brother Atjazz. With his signature sound he brings undeniable soul to the bunch while keeping the song’s integrity in tact. We complete our journey with Yoruba’s own Rafael Moraes, one third of Nomumbah. Deep is the word for this one. Mallets meet square toned bass while percussions dive perfectly alongside Osunlade’s vocal arrangements. We hope you enjoy this release as much as we have curating its material.

“Ibeji” Cover Art by Scott Marr
“The Ibeyi are identical twins who represent fortune, good luck and prosperity. In all the ceremonies, their images are always tied together to prevent their separation. If they do separate, all of their power to bring good luck disappears.”

In anticipation of the CD release of Osunlade’s forthcoming artist album ‘A Man With No Past Originating The Future’ – due early summer 2013 – Yoruba Records presents four stunning and varied remixes of one of the original tracks - Osunlade’s mesmerising ‘Camera Shy - committed to a lovely piece of 180g vinyl. Multi-instrumentalist Osunlade’s original version is a heady electronic track laced with soaring operatic vocals and layer upon layer of woody percussion. Osunlade’s own vocal also features and it is impossible to escape the signature Yoruba funk rooted in the Minneapolis sound. Here Yoruba’s selection of remixes take things in an altogether more club orientated direction by way of Detroit, Naples, New Jersey and Berlin. Andres’ stripped down affair delivers a heavy kick offset with the Detroit native’s signature cut up strings and a funky walking bass. Alex and Chris layer percussive elements over a rich backdrop of vibes and naturalistic atmosphere to create a sumptuous and lush rework perfectly at home on the label. Justin Imperiale’s remix is equally at home on Yoruba, focusing on powerful syncopated rhythms and swelling synth stabs to create a big, immersive remix packed with fuzzy emotions. Berlin based Oskar Offermann finishes off proceedings with his stunningly hard-edged remix focused intently on the dance floor. The original melody line sits perfectly on a bed of subtle, dark stings and stabs of electronic noise to create those ghostly dance floor moments.

Rawbert Bartholomew Bossington III aka Rawb Boss is a class act. Born and raised on dirty dance floors, Rawb grew up peering anxiously over shoulders trainspotting the hottest tunes. He finds musical inspiration in life's simple things; allowing creative joy to flow freely. Known in the underground scene as the "Peanut Butter Lover", his sonic inspirations can be heard coming from various decades of psychedelic masterpieces, giving way to a unique and forever changing vocal centerpiece. In some cases Rawb is poetry; in others he is intergalactic funk.
Under the mentorship of Coflo, Rawb unleashes his debut album under the justly titled name of "Coafeelia".
***Coafeelia - "an extreme or irrational attraction or affection to another human’s vibe".

Tunes to rock in your sets and /or use as elemental figures for your accapella desires. Either way, this is a simple gesture of the groove and how simplicity rules. Done completely on an ipad with no other gear, this is proof that its not the tool but the mind. We hope you enjoy this offering!

Release Info:
In January of 2019, news outlets such as St. Louis Today, St. Louis local FOX station KTVI and the Washington Post reported that medical examiners concluded that Danye Jones had indeed committed suicide.
Jones, a 24-old black man, was found hung from a tree in his mother’s backyard. His mother, Melissa McKinnies, immediately rejected the police’s direction of investigating this as a suicide, saying that there was foul play and that her son was lynched. Jones is one of six peculiar deaths that have some connection to the Ferguson activists of 2014. McKinnies, an original organizer of the Michael Brown protests, disagrees with the medical examiner’s report.
It is in this calling for justice and anger that Osunlade presents “Racially Charged”. Two new songs, one with a new voice, another with an old. Entirely produced by Osunlade and mastered by the one and only Martin Iveson, better known as Atjazz. this single promises truth, a message warranted and some foot stompin’ all at once.
River city poet and writer Aturah starts things off with “They Say”, speaking directly on the Danye Jones case. Reminiscent to some of his more overtly political work like “Black August”, this one of Osunlade’s sparser arrangements, letting Aturah take charge with her urgent message.
Up next, the legendary Philly DJ and spoken word artist Rich Medina takes over vocal duties for “The Sickness”. Speaking on the monster that is social media and its passionate, outspoken and mostly clueless users, Osunlade brings a more sinister and cynical production into play, featuring the keyboard work of Yoruba Soul favorite, Jesse Gannon.
On the flip we end things with a tech-house tinged remix of “They Say” from Yoruba newcomer and other half of po-lar-ity, Burlie Mac as well as the instrumental version of the “The Sickness”.
Indeed, every night has its day, but we have to admit, its dark as fuck right now.
This ones not for the faint at heart, but we are making no excuses for our rage!

Info:
Yoruba Records welcomes back label favourite Mike Steva with a well-balanced and forward thinking EP that both engages and pushes boundaries. Opening up with ‘Love Symphonik’, this stutter-stepped jam practically drips with MPC flavour. Up next, ‘The Message’; a bold proclamation with more straight forward percussion. With added Balkan flavour this one is as deep as they come. This is followed with ‘Sila’ where Steva’s chops are on full display. This engaging and well-constructed groove conjures of feelings of celebration, one that’s easy to imagine taking place in the streets of Macedonia. We close with ‘Zensko Oro’, a deep and moody percussive-led jam. This one speaks of movement, slowly building on itself and reaching a natural climax that enhances and delights the senses of the astute listener. Sit back, relax and enjoy this soon-to-be essential piece of the Yoruba Records canon.

Yoruba Records is ecstatic to welcome back Hallex M with our latest release, the ‘Oggun EP’. Kicking off with the title track, Carlos Mena lends his voice to give praise to Oggun, the warrior-protector Orisha, in this low end heavy and celebratory groove. Slowing things down a bit, ‘Lhasa’ is a more subtle and relaxing cut, teasing you with a beautiful piano melody and funky bassline. Nickodemus gets to work with his remix of the title track ‘Oggun’. Giving this a treatment with a thick and stubby bass, this mix takes things to a deeper territory appreciated by discerning dancefloors. We round out the EP with ‘Show You The World’, a laid-back love song featuring the warm and inviting vocals of Gabriele Poso. Once again Hallex shows his prowess in crafting emotionally intelligent dancefloor tunes; we hope you enjoy these as much as we have enjoyed bringing them to you!

Release Info:
‘Nano Jubo’
Toto Chiavetta extends his experienced ear to the creation of a musical gem in ‘Nano Jubo.’ Chiavetta brings together indigenous chanting, polyrhythms and complimentary keys that ask for your full attention. Experimenting with spacey synths to deliver a body-movement musical mediation, the Yoruba Soul Mixes add new dimensions, transforming the songs into funk based dance floor soul. ‘Nano Jubo’ is a funk tech track that calls on Detroit electro minimalism, subtle and dark. The informed listener may even detect a St. Louis blues swing. With advanced production, it’s highly engaging, builds your trust, leads you into the unknown, and inspires a reimagining of the four to the floor formula. ‘Nano Jubo’ is an expression of Afro-electro jazz fusion, new music for new times, and a collaboration between Osunlade and Toto Chiavetta that exemplifies divine collaborative creativity.
‘Minds’
Chiavetta’s ‘Minds’ an industrial, abstract, and unpredictable sound. You’ll hear an otherworldly parade, complete with a marching band and new age futuristic funk breaks. Sun–Ra meets house, meets Pink Floyd, it defies the limitation of genre and forges new space for producers willing to take a risk. ‘Minds’ is organized like an intentional stream of consciousness; it highlights the spirit of mad scientists who were studio bound until the song reached the wholeness of its sound. Science fictional syncopated house.
‘Hunter’
You can’t help to move ‘Hunter’ is a live wire and smart high-brow house. Chiavetta works with Osunlade to compose exciting conflicting rhythm patterns that are sure to move the crowd. Percussive heavy throughout, but on top of the bass you’re carried above ground with an intricate cosmic soundscape. More than trance ‘Hunter’ is a call to action where a circle gets formed for dance rituals. You’ll dig deep in the crates trying to find the peer to this. More soulful tech from Yoruba Soul records.

Sun–Ra meets house, meets Pink Floyd, it defies the limitation of genre and forges new space for producers willing to take a risk. ‘Minds’ is organized like an intentional stream of consciousness; it highlights the spirit of mad scientists who were studio bound until the song reached the wholeness of its sound. Science fictional syncopated house.
‘Hunter’
You can’t help to move ‘Hunter’ is a live wire and smart high-brow house. Chiavetta works with Osunlade to compose exciting conflicting rhythm patterns that are sure to move the crowd. Percussive heavy throughout, but on top of the bass you’re carried above ground with an intricate cosmic soundscape. More than trance ‘Hunter’ is a call to action where a circle gets formed for dance rituals. You’ll dig deep in the crates trying to find the peer to this. More soulful tech from Yoruba Soul records.

dario rosa - Something
Songs:
01. No Ede 7:25
02. Something 8:16
Release Info:
Yoruba Records is pleased to welcome Dario Rosa to the family with his first release on the label, “No Ede”. This two-track EP takes listeners on a hypnotic journey and delivers nothing short of a rhythmic workout. Starting off with the title track, No Ede is originally a gospel song – but not the type you may think. Traditional African percussion leads this track from the opening bars. Smooth stringed rhythms open up and create space as the hypnotic melody of the Kora carries you away. On the flip side we are greeted with Somethin’– which is already everything. A decidedly deep cut heavily influenced by the early ‘90s House sound. Funky keys and an infectious bassline beg you to move as the low end keeps you locked in motion. This introspective groove is made for the late night dance floor and will bring you back while looking ever forward.

Info:
Yoruba Records is proud to present this release by label veterans Nomumbah. Hailing from Sao Paulo, this three piece consists of André Torquato, Ale Reis and Rafael Moraes. With this release, Nomumbah shows a great deal of maturity, a mark often only surpassed with the release of a sophomore album. The track “Word” will strike a familiar chord with listeners – its clever use of Maya Angelou’s reading of her timeless “Still I Rise” fits perfectly over the top of a deep bass and bongo driven groove. MeinHaus is another beautifully crafted track, one that seemingly pays tribute to Chicago’s earliest fathers of deep house while still keeping a certain swing that will set it apart on dance floors today. Precious, a definite future favorite features a cutting lead synth that adds warmth to the track and is accompanied by crystal clear hi-hat bursts and a simple, yet captivating vocal. This album’s title track, Amanha edges on tech house with stripped down percussion, a simple rolling bass line and a pulsing lead synth perfect for setting a more chilled-out vibe. A deep and at times techy release, DJs will find all 10 tracks well suited for the late night into early morning hours. Featuring rhythmic, chunky bass lines, ambient keys and radiant backing vocals this soon-to-be Yoruba classic is a must have for your kit bag in 2016.

carlos mena - Bang It - Instrumental
Yoruba Records is proud to bring you this expertly crafted EP from the ever-talented Yoruba favorite, Carlos Mena. A purveyor of deep and soulful house both behind the decks and in the studio, Mena wastes no time getting down to business in this latest release. The EP opens with Bang It, a punchy, peak hour house track that’s destined for the dancefloor. A rolling, yet driving bass line commands you to move your feet as label head Osunlade’s vocals carry you from build up to release - the synth stabs assure you become lost in the music. A2 brings you a unique must-have: Elegba, an ode to the guardian, protector, and communicator. A jazzy, tribal-leaning cut, this soothing track features an impressive array of world percussive instruments that take you to new heights just as its flute brings dancers into and out of a melodic trance. Moving on: this EP’s title track, Deep Forever More, as the title suggests brings us a little deeper. Its vocals unveil a story you’ll want to lend an ear to while it’s subtle, spaced out synths keep you grooving. Featuring a magnificent piano solo by Ezel, this track is dance floor fodder and undoubtedly a future Yoruba classic. Finally, the EP closes out with an instrumental cut of Bang It, featured as A1 on the other side of the record. Yoruba is pleased to present this release as an absolute must have for heating up the dancefloor as we move into the cold winter months.

Release Info:
Osunlade returns with his latest full length album, Peacock. Recorded in homage to the orisha Ochun, an album about love relations, the heart, acceptance, vulnerability and change. While love is the reason, funk is the cause. With the exception of the albums two electronic explorations the album is fully realized in classic analog soul funk with Osunlade taking the reigns of all or most instrumentation and vocals. A very personal one indeed, yet this 8 song continuous play takes us back to the beauty of music listening. Enjoy!

Release Info:
Osunlade returns with his latest full length album, Peacock. Recorded in homage to the orisha Ochun, an album about love relations, the heart, acceptance, vulnerability and change. While love is the reason, funk is the cause. With the exception of the albums two electronic explorations the album is fully realized in classic analog soul funk with Osunlade taking the reigns of all or most instrumentation and vocals. A very personal one indeed, yet this 8 song continuous play takes us back to the beauty of music listening. Enjoy!

dj koze - Knee On Belly
2025 repress
Tracklist A. XTC - B. Knee On Belly
Shortinfo: DJ Koze's 2013 album opus Amygdala has continued to bewitch all who encounter it since its release. Tipped as his own personal Sgt. Pepper, the sublime long-player revealed a fully-realised and personal body of work, complete with a classic songwriting at its core, House in its heart, and veins coursing with psychedelic color. "La Duquesa" was the album's dreamy single standout, a journey into deep, tropical ecstasy.
"XTC" begins in the same spirit, and captures the all the blissful allusions of its name, but its initial gentility belies the deep intensity to come. Floating pads glow with celestial ambience as a kick drum is gradually coaxed into solid form, and the introduction of spoken text begins the second act. "Many people are experimenting with the drug Ecstasy," it says, "…is the drug like the lie and meditation the truth? Or am I missing something that could really help me?". "XTC" then transforms: sweetly imploring tones become demanding, gentle gradients between chords turn hard-edged, and sharp hi-hats cut through the haze. Complete with Koze's signature percussive quirks, it drives towards the track's final pay off: an undeniable, all-consuming, irresistible high.
"Knee On Belly" recalls Koze at his most tongue-in-cheek and overt; it is bright, bold and literally brassy, using cut-up horns of all shapes and sizes to patchwork together his own unique arrangement. With the highs and mid ranges accounted for, Koze adds in a swollen, thrumming bass line to mix to bring this floor-filler to life. "Knee on Belly" recalls a raw, filtered and funky approach to groove, with a nod to disco house and the art of artful sampling, as it orbits between its own neon highs and simmering lows.

Fouk - Neon Drift (Club Mix)

Fouk - Neon Drift (First Light Mix)
Dutch producers Fouk make their debut on Freerange Records with a brilliant 4 tracker entitled
the Get It Done EP, showcasing their signature blend of groove, melody, and dancefloor
dynamism. Known for their impeccable craftsmanship and warm, funk-infused house productions,
Fouk have built a loyal following through releases on labels like Heist, Razor-N-Tape, and their
own Outplay imprint. Now, the duo step onto one of the most respected platforms in house
music with four expertly sculpted cuts that balance classic influences with modern flair.
The EP opens with the title track Get It Done, a muscular slice of euphoric Piano House that’s as
uplifting as it is infectious. Built around some familiar piano stabs and a driving groove, it sets the
tone with pure feel-good energy destined to light up basement dancefloors and festivals alike.
Next up is Floating, a high-energy club track propelled by serotonin-boosting Philly strings, simple
rolling bassline and MAW-esque shuffling snares. Fouk channel a rawer edge here, delivering a
tune that’s equal parts powerful and soulful – a perfect peak-time weapon.
On the flip, Neon Drift (Club Mix) takes things into more electronic territory, weaving synth-heavy
arpeggiating textures and Detroit chord stabs into a hypnotic, forward-looking journey. Despite its
exploratory sonic tendencies, the track keeps its eyes firmly on the dancefloor with Fouk’s
trademark groove holding it all together.
Closing out the release is Neon Drift (First Light Mix), a deeper, more introspective reimagining
of the Club Mix. With warm pads, subtle percussion, and a hazy afterhours feel, it provides a
perfect comedown moment – the sunrise companion to the night’s earlier fire.
With this release, Fouk prove why they’re among the most exciting duos in the scene right now,
blending classic house tropes with their own unique flair to deliver an EP that feels timeless yet
fresh.

SHORT INFO:
Axel Boman’s critically acclaimed double album LUZ/Quest for fire from 2022 gets a remix & dub treatment from one of Scandinavia's finest reggae-and-beyond soundsystems, Trensum Tribe.
”Great, now they sound better that the originals” said Axel when he heard the remixed versions for the first time, excitedly starting to collect the best ones for an album. Having been heavily inspired by Mad Professor’s work for Massive Attack since a young age (listen to No Protection for example), a project like this had been a dream of Axel Boman's for decades.
There is a certain freedom that comes with remixing, where you can step outside yourself as a producer and take risks and chances you might not in your own work, and Trensum Tribe really took an adventurous new path when they approached this music. On this homage to soundsystem and rave culture, jungle, dub, disco and house all become best friends in front of a huge stack of homemade speakers, standing tall on fresh dew in a Swedish forest on a cold summer night.

Khruangbin - Zionsville II
Khruangbin did not know if they were actually making an album. All they knew in the first frigid days of 2025, as they shivered in the Central Texas barn where they’ve recorded almost all of their music, was that the 10th anniversary of their debut, The Universe Smiles Upon You, was steadily approaching. Months earlier, they’d bandied about ways to mark the occasion, debating orchestral arrangements or compendiums of bonus materials and alternate takes. Thing was, back before Khruangbin helped establish a new modern idiom of semi-instrumental and gently psychedelic American music, there had been no bonus material, no unused songs. And how interesting would alternate takes or symphonic extravagance really be for a band whose aesthetic—essential vibes, infinite grooves, riffs that rippled across the horizon—seemed so direct and pure, anyway? What if, they had instead wondered, they went back to the barn where it all began and recut the record that had started it all, on the actual 10th anniversary of those sessions? They decided, at least, to try.
It did not take long for Laura Lee, Mark Speer, and DJ Johnson to know that the idea was indeed a good one, that in holding up a mirror shaped by the past 10 years to their formative set of songs they could feel and hear how they had changed as people and players. The result is The Universe Smiles Upon You ii, 10 entirely new renditions of the songs from Khruangbin’s oldest album, played and sequenced in a way that works for them now without being strictly allegiant to who they were then. Watchful eyes, for instance, will notice that “Bin Bin ii”, a bonus track back in 2015, has moved toward this album’s center. More importantly, attentive ears will hear how liberated Khruangbin sound from any expectations rendered by their own success, how this is once again the sound of three longtime friends deciding how this material might move in real time.
The barn is an essential piece of Khruangbin lore. In 2009, many years before Khruangbin’s early singles started to shape their course or even before they were really a band, they began to head to the barn, bought by Speer’s parents in the ’80s on a modest cattle farm midway between Houston and Austin. They’d been looking for a place to rehearse in Houston when Speer’s parents volunteered the spot and the small house next door—three bedrooms downstairs, dorm-style bunks above, a century-old stove in a small kitchen. The process was so consummately D.I.Y. that, when they convened there in January 2015 to make what would become The Universe Smiles Upon You, Speer and Lee rushed to remove a nest of bees by playing bass and smashing cymbals loudly before Johnson (famously not into bees, mind you) arrived. They made the record for $1,500.
This time around, Khruangbin decided to try a few functional updates. They finally ripped out the plywood dancefloor that had been installed for a wedding nearly two decades earlier but had since become something of a sanctuary for critters that would inevitably destroy any gear left behind. They rented a new floor, then bought silent new space heaters and boxes of hand warmers that they’d stuff into gloves during sessions. The first day was Central Texas paradise—T-shirts in January, the sun shining as they set up their instruments, ran cables, and even recorded the seven-minute version of “Two Fish and an Elephant” that appears here, the rhythm that Lee and Johnson built offering a welcoming group hug for Speer’s flickering lead. But then the cold set in, a cold so gripping that they stuffed bits of construction flotsam into every crack and crevice they could find inside the barn. They moved closer and closer as the four days progressed, as if trying to absorb one another’s radiant heat.
Perhaps, then, that’s why The Universe Smiles Upon You ii feels so warm, as if they were tending a fire simply by playing together. Early into “August Twelve ii,” Johnson watched an eastern meadowlark sing just outside the barn, its song picked up by the microphones. It wasn’t their favorite performance, but they knew it captured the magic of the time and place, the yellow beauty’s melody calling these six gorgeous minutes to order. They are likewise jubilant during this very extended take on “People Everywhere (Still Alive),” applying the lessons about pace, momentum, and dynamics they’ve learned during a decade on the road to start and sustain this dance party. It is an immaculate map of the moment.
Funnily enough, while on tour with this electric trio during the last several years, Speer became fascinated with early European instruments that could sound full without being loud—the viol de gamba, for instance, or the clavichord. He imported that enthusiasm into these sessions, not only often playing acoustic guitar alongside Lee’s hollow-body Höfner bass and Johnson’s brushed drums but also covering instruments in contact mics, so that they sounded close and real. You can hear that pursuit clearly on “White Gloves ii,” a song that has become such a Khruangbin staple they initially struggled with how to remake it here. When Johnson suggested it become “country disco,” though, the track suddenly unlocked. A rural-funk canter buttresses the bittersweet vocals and twilit guitars; the recording makes it feel as if you’re sitting in the center of the barn, head pressed between the bass amp and bass drum as Khruangbin drift away.
In many ways, The Universe Smiles Upon You ii represents the close of Khruangbin’s first chapter, the complete culmination of the music they made when they arrived at the barn in January 2015. During the last decade, they have reached an apotheosis of sorts, their love of Thai pop and heavy dub and American soul and Ethiopian haze perfectly crystallized in a string of splendid records and live shows that have hypnotized massive theaters and festival crowds alike. They’ve repeatedly sold out the United States’ most famous venues, from Red Rocks and Forest Hills to the Hollywood Bowl and Radio City, and they’ve crowned festivals from Glastonbury to Bonnaroo. Paul McCartney plucked them to reimagine one of his songs, while they’ve collaborated with Mali legend and band inspiration Vieux Farka Touré to honor his late father on 2022’s Ali. After more than a decade of relentless touring and recording, their expertly polyglot 2024 album, A LA SALA, helped earn a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Not bad for a band that recorded its debut in a barn of bees and mice for a grand or so.
So, then, what is next? The Universe Smiles Upon You ii provides a point of pause for Khruangbin, a chance to step back from a sound they now know so well and figure out where it may go from here. They talk about woodshedding, about spending a few hours every day with their instruments to see what new shapes they can make. Khruangbin’s splendid next run, then, begins where the first one did, too—in the barn, finding their way into the world through the songs of The Universe Smiles Upon You, second time even more absorbing than the first.

SHORT INFO:
The creative visionary behind a remarkable catalogue of widely celebrated releases and two critically acclaimed albums, Monolink returns this fall with his most thought-provoking and introspective project to date. Titled The Beauty Of It All, the multi-faceted German artist's third studio album is slated for worldwide release on September 26, 2025.
Marking a bold new chapter in Monolink's artistic evolution, The Beauty Of It All will dive deep into themes of beauty, impermanence and human connection, blending his signature fusion of live instrumentation, soulful song-writing and electronic innovation. The announcement arrives on the heels of two standout singles already this year - "Mesmerized" (January) and "Powerful Play" (March) - both of which will feature on the new album. With The Beauty Of It All, he builds on the foundations laid by his first two long players, pushing his sound into new, uncharted territory while staying rooted in the organic, humanistic qualities that have defined his career. The album is poised to be his most revealing and boundary-defying release yet; a sonic statement from an artist who continues to redefine what it means to be a modern musician.

Ryo Fukui - Scenery
The Standard Edition - Territory - NO Sales to Japan
Ryo Fukui's 1976 highly sought-after jazz masterpiece SCENERY-
LP Edition: Mastered at half speed, 140g vinyl, Sticker
We Release Jazz (WRWTFWW Records' new sister-label) is proud to present its first release, the official reissue of Ryo Fukui's highly sought-after masterpiece Scenery (1976), sourced from the original masters and available on limited edition 180g vinyl mastered at half speed for audiophile sound and on digipack CD.
Unquestionably one of the most important Japanese jazz albums ever recorded, Scenery reveals Ryo Fukui as a miraculously brilliant self-taught pianist fusing modal, bop, and cool jazz influences for a very personal, dexterous and game-changing take on classic standards made famous by Bing Crosby and John Coltrane among others. From "It Could Happen To You" and its serene and calm intro which magically flows into a jubilant and upbeat piece, to the out-of-this-world piano solo of "Early Summer", or the incredible teamwork of "Autumn Leaves" where Fukui leads Satoshi Denpo (bass) and Yoshinori Fukui (drums) into groove heaven, every single note on the album oozes precision, confidence and flair and every single section slides seamlessly into one another, creating a supreme and elegant blend of jazz. Often compared to McCoy Tyner or Bill Evans, Ryo Fukui was a genius in his own right, a true master of his craft whose perfectionism gave birth to some of the greatest music ever recorded. Scenery is his magnum opus and an absolute must-have.
The Hokkaido wizard-pianist followed Scenery with the soulful gem Mellow Dream (also available on We Release Jazz) in 1977. He then focused on improving his live skills, often performing at Sapporo's Slowboat Jazz Club (which he co-founded with his wife Yasuko Fukui) and releasing 2 live albums. Ryo Fukui sadly passed away in March 2016, leaving behind a legacy of works that is sure to captivate jazz lovers for generations to come.

Pacific Breeze documents Japan’s blast into the stratosphere. By the 1960s, the nation had achieved a postwar miracle, soaring to become the world’s second largest economy. Thriving tech exports sent The Rising Sun over the moon. Its pocket cassette players, bleeping video games, and gleaming cars boomed worldwide, wooing pleasure points and pumping Japanese pockets full of yen.
Japan’s financial buoyancy also permeated its popular culture, birthing an audio analog called City Pop. This new sound arose in the mid ’70s and ruled through the ’80s, channeling the country’s contemporary psyche. It was sophisticated music mirroring Japan’s punch-drunk prosperity. City Pop epitomized the era, providing a soundtrack for emerging urbanites. An optimistic spirit buzzed through the music in neon-bathed, gauzy tableaus coated with groove-heavy strokes.
Pacific Breeze is an expertly compiled collection of choice cuts that range from silky smooth grooves to innovative techno pop bangers and everything in between. Long-revered by crate diggers and adventurous music heads, this music has never been released outside of Japan until now. Including key artists like Taeko Ohnuki and Minako Yoshida, as well as cult favorites Hitomi Tohyama and Hiroshi Sato, the long-awaited release also features newly commissioned cover painting by Tokyo-based artist Hiroshi Nagai, whose iconic images of resort living have graced the covers of many classic City Pop albums of the 1980s.
Many of the key City Pop players evolved from the Japanese New Music scene of the early ’70s, as heard on Light In The Attic’s acclaimed Even a Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk & Rock 1969-1973, the first release of the ongoing Japan Archival Series. In fact, you could say City Pop set sail with a champagne smash from Happy End, the freakishly talented subversives who included amongst their ranks Haruomi Hosono and Shigeru Suzuki, both featured on this compilation. As Michael K. Bourdaghs noted in his book, Sayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon, this music was, “Deconstructing the line between imitation and authenticity.” Some of the best City Pop teeters in this zone—easy listening with mutant exotica, tilted techno-pop, and steamy boogie bubbling beneath the gloss.

Australia’s world-renowned cinematic soul outfit Surprise Chef return with new album Superb. A record that represents a change in their creative approach and turns up the heat in their music. Trading in their meticulous writing and recording techniques for a looser and less planned approach with the intentions of bringing more levity to the process, and it comes through in spades. The high caliber musicianship is still front and center, but they push their sound into a more energetic and fun place on this album.
Album opener “Sleep Dreams” is the closest thing to a Surprise Chef tune one would come to expect, but then lead single “Bully Ball” comes on and you get the picture that they came to kick in the door on this one. The song’s gritty drums thunder through the speakers and get covered with percussion, keys, bass, and guitar chanks that stay in the pocket and bring the funk with them. The band pushes the boundaries of arrangement with tunes like “Body Slam” that starts off like a sweet soul track then pulls a 180, turning dark and haunting, centering on a sound they created by tucking a timpani into a bathroom two doors down from the mixing board. That same sense of experimentation comes up again on “Fare Evader” where they pepper another neck breaking rhythm track with synth notes that sound like robot sound effects from a 70s sci-fi film. The fellas turn up the tempo for the dance with tunes like “Consulate Case” and “Tag Dag”; the former pulling influence from afro-funk and the latter from jazz-funk. They take us deep into the beautiful world of Surprise Chef ballads on “Websites” and double down on their abilities to make beautiful and ethereal tracks with “Dreamer’s Disease”.
With their new album Superb, their new approach, and plans to tour the world, we are about to see Surprise Chef take the step from the underground’s most beloved to a household name and we are definitely here for it.
