AniaraWL07 links up label mainstays Dorisburg, Efraim Kent, and Arkajo. Side A kicks off with Dorisburg & Efraim Kent's Wired to the Mainframe: a tightly wound, pulse-driven Tech House trip. Followed by X-Files Groove, which strips back the layers and tunnels into a darker, dub-laced transmission. Flip to Side B for Arkajo's two-part Consequence series. Consequence #1 locks you into rolling, UK-inspired rhythms, pushing forward with a warm yet propulsive energy. Consequence #2 turns the screws tighter, upping the BPM and unfolding into a tense, minimal workout where every hit and echo feel essential.

And to invite your mind to wonder: Dorisburg's B-side -- Helande Skulptur -- by its introspective scapes and eerie echoes, laced with a fine tech-house beat.

Danish instrumental sextet Sunbörn—winners of four Danish Grammys—join forces with acclaimed Italian producer/DJ Clap! Clap! (Paul Simon, Warp) for a boundary-blurring new album: Earth Is Begging. Releasing in autumn 2025 on Wah Wah 45s, the project is a vibrant celebration of global culture and sonic fusion. It's a place where Afrobeat grooves meet Middle Eastern textures, subtle Bossa Nova influences, jazz harmonies and clubby beats - with everything lit up by a keen Nordic sense of melody and space. Less about genre and more about energy, it's dance music built from curiosity and connection. That's the world of 'Earth Is Begging'

Repress!

Cosmic Transitions takes the gloves off! This Five-Part Suite flow between movements represents different lessons that Isaiah Collier learned on his journey through Mercury Retrograde. Opening with an Invocation, the musicians chant in the same room Love Supreme was recorded, Rudy Van Gelder Studio, on Coltrane’s Birthday. A tide of righteousness blazes from Collier's Saxophone. Cosmic Transitions isn't for the faint of heart. Thunderous drums set the background as Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few, take the listener on a journey in sound, showing the connection between the Cosmic Forces and human understanding. Its sound echoes that of spiritual music of the ’60s arriving in the present-day to creating a shift in the consciousness of today's listeners, as they experiencing Cosmic Transitions!
