Texas native Demarkus Lewis is up next on the great D3 Elements label. This time, Demarkus brings his signature diverse house style on this release, which features tracks from his Mental Notes album that only came out digitally in 2011. Luckily for lovers of vinyl, D3 is putting out three of the gems from that release. First is the upfront house of Without Pause that is full of Demarkus' bumping drums, masterful combination of spacey, Detroit style electronics and swirling chords that will get anyone onto the dancefloor. Lady In Pink also features some wonderful spacey chords, but is a more downtempo, broken beat type of affair, resplendent with computer bleeps. Over onto the B side, Demarkus takes us into a more spiritual and deep territory, with Behind Closed Doors (Afro Main Mix). The afro rhythms coupled with Eman's spoken words turn this into a track that do wonders with a heaving, sweaty dance floor in the early hours. Another winner for the D3 Elements label.

highly talented DEMARKUS LEWIS (bluem, lowdown, moods'n'grooves) with a 4 tracker perfectly balanced between chicago and westcoast house - very musical with strong pounding b-lines, nice synth melodies and atmospheres but always with the certain "oomph" the dancefloor is craving for.

ROOTS RECORDINGS' debut vinyl release is from English DJ/producer ANDREW MACARI (GREENHOUSE RECORDINGS) and features PAKA PROJECT. Classic house beats mixed with 1920s speakeasy vibes for a juke joint house banger. JASON MERLE's remix unleashes a solid kickdrum and melodies that just grab you and bring you in. The groove is just pure shuffle and style.

Created as the centre piece for Luxembourg's contribution to the 2025 Architecture Biennial, Ludwig Berger's field recording composition 'Ecotonalities: No Other Home Than the In-Between' weaves together recordings from distinctive locations across the territory. The piece critically examines the dynamics of the territory and investigates how ongoing developments are shaping the country's landscape. The concept of Ecotone — a transitional space between two ecosystems — guides the process, attuning listeners closely to frictions and co-existences within the environment.

Wah Wah 45s present a limited edition vinyl special from Afro-dub masters, Soothsayers. With a history that goes back three decades, having released two classic LPs (Tradition and We Are Many) and numerous EPs and remixes on the imprint, the band deliver two brand new and exclusive versions of one of the highlights of their new LP, entitled Fly Higher. Love Will Find a Way features vocalists Maia Avery and Akin Soul, both former members of Youthsayers - a South London based music performance and education group, taught by Soothsayers band members. With new mixes by acclaimed Sao Paulo based producer Victor Rice, it's a stepping reggae vocal duo piece with a strong, universal message asserting that despite the current divisive political rhetoric and the championing of greed over human empathy by those in power, love will always be a more powerful force than hatred and division. Maia and Akin Soul's distinctive voices blend and weave beautifully over a hypnotic groove with a fresh and poignant emotional energy contributing to what should be a future steppers classic. These previously unreleased mixes are available in both vocal and dub versions on hand-stamped 7-inch vinyl and Bandcamp only.

With over 12 million streams and a reputation built on sold-out shows across the UK, The Milk return with their most ambitious and cinematic record to date — Borderlands. Produced by drummer Mitch Ayling and recorded live at Woods Lodge Studio, the album showcases the four lifelong friends' signature blend of classic soul, modern funk, and widescreen orchestration. Featuring singles "I Need Your Love", "A Time To Let Go", and "The Middle", Borderlands has already received extensive airplay and critical acclaim, including support from BBC Radio 6 Music (Huey Morgan, Lauren Laverne), Jazz FM, Radio 2, and Radio X. The band's previous album Favourite Worry was named BBC 6 Music's Album of the Year, and their debut Tales From The Thames Delta reached the UK Top 40 and earned them Apple iTunes Band of the Year. Borderlands expands The Milk's trademark "cinematic soul" sound with sweeping strings, full brass, and choral arrangements — mastered on vintage analogue equipment by Lewis Durham (Kitty, Daisy & Lewis). Early reviews have called it "meticulously crafted" (Shindig ?????), "epic choral arrangements and widescreen orchestrations" (MOJO ????), and "a fusion of 60s soul, modern funk and vintage soundtracks" (HiFi+ ?????).

Featuring the otherworldly vocals of the legendary jazz singer Norma Winstone whose vocals were recently sampled in Drake's 2023 chart topping single IDGAF (feat. Yeat) and Leo Taylor (Floating Points, Hot Chip, Joy Crookes) on drums, the EP is the amalgamation of Barrott's long term fascination with sunset music, and the ways the change of seasons impact the way we co-exist with the sun. As winter draws closer and we move on from the Autumn equinox to Winter solstice, Barrott's latest release captures the transformative yet paradoxical feeling of melancholy over the end of Summer and the start of winter while creating an eerie sensation of serenity. The EP follows from the release of Barrott's critically acclaimed and deeply personal 2024 album Everything Changes, Nothing Ends. The new EP sees Barrott return to his beloved sunset music, as he continues his eternal quest to find new ways to soundtrack this sacred Ibiza moment.
