Checki - Simcity (Hatti Vatti RMX)
This special collector's edition is available in a strictly limited run of only 250 copies. The vinyl version is pressed on transparent vinyl and features metallic paper packaging along with a printed inner sleeve made from dyed paper stock. The entire release was designed by the exceptionally creative graphic designer Weronika Lipniewska, resulting in an edition that is as captivating visually as it is musically.
EY AY (Deluxe Slay Jazz) is the second album by Piotr Checki - an artist who, following the intimate, home-recorded debut PE, returns with something radically different: a living, spontaneous work captured in real time. If PE was a personal document of moments enclosed within a controlled studio environment, EY AY is its opposite - a sonic organism that breathes, pulses, and unfolds in the here and now.
The album was created in just two weeks during a period of intense inspiration. Ch?cki developed a series of compositional sketches which were then expanded together with drummer Tymek Papior and pianist Marcel Balinski during a single six-hour recording session. Crucially, the entire album was recorded as one-take performances. No overdubs, no edits, no second attempts. It is a document of pure presence - a moment that can never be repeated.
The subtitle Deluxe Slay Jazz carries an additional personal layer of meaning. It serves as a subtle yet significant nod to one of Checki's greatest passions: ski jumping. The initials "DSJ" may also evoke the cult classic ski-jumping computer game released in 1999, beloved by an entire generation of players.
With EY AY, Checki redefines his approach to music-making. Instead of constructing rigid structures, he places trust in the process. Instead of production, interaction. Instead of perfection, authenticity. This is music that does not strive to be finished - it simply exists.

Piotr Checki - a Polish saxophonist, composer, and producer who passionately explores the boundaries of sound. His debut album PE is a personal story created in a home studio - somewhere between the living room and the bedroom - serving as an intimate record of the moment. By blending electronic and acoustic sounds, Ch?cki shapes a unique style in which the saxophone often resonates in surprising, innovative contexts. For him, music is color, presence, and a pretext for interpreting reality. Known for his work with projects such as Nene Heroine and Hinode Tapes, he is, in private life, a devoted coffee enthusiast.
The album CH?CKI - PE will be released by Sonar Records and will appear in the E-Series, the label's electronic subcatalog, as a limited vinyl edition.
He has recorded over 40 albums with various artists. Beyond his own projects, he currently collaborates with Pink Freud, Kasia Lins, Hatti Vatti, Marek Pospieszalski and his Octet, Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet, and the band Her. He has performed in Japan, the United States, South America, China, and across Europe, appearing at many renowned festivals.

Gym Wisdom's self-titled debut LP out on November 19th on Sonar Records (R-series)
After four greatly received singles, the Polish post punk quartet Gym Wisdom make their debut with a self-titled album that sounds like a panic attack at a fitness class - tense, wiry, and strangely tender beneath the noise. Across nine tracks, the group explores themes of hypermasculinity, burnout, and the cult of optimization that defines modern life.
Their sound lands somewhere between the uneasy quirkiness of Slint, the manic drive of The Jesus Lizard, and the raw pulse of Brexit-core's new wave, filtered through a distinctly Polish lens. Spoken-word vocals, dissonant guitars, and rhythm section with undeniable groove capabilities form the core of the record's identity - a music that's both cerebral and visceral, swinging between explosive heaviness and abstract calm.
Though Gym Wisdom have been active for barely a year, they've already made their name in Poland's guitar music underground. The band's members come from a tangle of other projects - Nene Heroine, Kury, SOYUZ, Klawo, HÉR to name a few - and their collective background gives the album its strange cohesion: messy but deliberate, muscular but self-aware.

Moon Water is the debut album by the project Cinnamon Gum, created by Maciej Milewski (MaJLo). The record features five tracks in a funk and soul vein, rooted in warm, melodic sounds inspired by the classic aesthetics of the 1970s. The stories woven throughout the album revolve around themes of love - ranging from the platonic and imaginative to the subtly fictional - while the production reflects a meticulous approach to vintage aesthetics and organic grooves. The album also includes previously released singles such as Mona Lisa, Get Back, and Let Us Fly, which were well received by listeners and music media.

Dub album full of sound system explosives by expert riddim tinkerer Prince Riser – hard rocking, spaced out Kawai synth digi bangers, hitting that sweet spot between analog and digital Reggae while drawing vibes from the legacy of Dread & Fred, Exterminator and Jammy.
Aside from the thunderous Dub epic “Through The Storm” Prince Riser’s debut LP is also featuring the killer vocal cuts “Poverty Ina Russia” by Sammy Gold – a super heavy depth charge of Sly & Robbie proportions – the soulful Wackie’s flavoured anthem “Keep On Trodding” by Madi Simmons (who sadly passed away in 2024) and the plonky digi stepper “Travelling Gal” by Prince Riser himself, each accompanied by a murderous Dub version.
With extra cosmic dust added by disrupt at the Jahtari home studio, "Through The Storm" is crucial gear for any sound system vinyl crate.

Peerless man-machine outfit goat(jp) return with a brittle contemporary dance soundtrack that locks into the pointillist rhythmic micro-precision of the now classic 'Joy In Fear'. Directing an IRL physical performance, the band totter between rhythmelodic, ritualistic minimalism and intricate, pneumatic beat music - if you need a link between Daniel Schmidt, Autechre, 'On The Corner'-era Miles and Midori Takada, this is it.
