Nightmares On Wax - AA2. 3D Warrior (NOW Director’s Cut)
As Warp’s longest serving signing, Nightmares on Wax has been consistently at the forefront of contemporary music, creating a unique blend of electronica, jazz, hip-hop, dub, funk, soul and techno.
Although 9 albums in, he may have only just truly stepped into his own groove. Lockdown forced a change of pace and offered some time for meaningful reflection and introspection. “I've been gigging non-stop for 10 years,” he says. “And that experience has been beautiful but it also drained me emotionally.”
He began to reassess some things. “As a creative you're always questioning everything,” he says. “So having the time and the space has meant that I could do a proper deep dive into this stuff. So it was all about this journey of going back to myself, and realising being at home with my wife and my daughter that I’ve not really been here properly. It’s like I've just woken back up to what I actually have - and it's already here.”
Evelyn already had the wheels in motion for making a collaborative album with a variety of guests but now he took this personal element and asked them to run with it. “The world had stopped and I'd slowed down but time speeded up,” he reflects. “So there was a lot of static going on in the world at that time. So my conversation with people was more like, ‘what's going on inside? What's the inner voice saying?’ As a result, he formed creative bonds with new and upcoming talent that slotted in nicely with both the history and evolution of N.O.W. The likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Haile Supreme, Mara TK, Sabrina Mahfouz. Greentea Peng, OSHUN and Pip Millett all feature.

Shout Out! To Freedom Bio - By Don Letts
Where do you start with Leeds-born Ibiza based producer George Evelyn, the man from N.O.W that pioneered British electronic music? Well for those already hip to his world the following will serve as a timely reminder. For new arrivals it’ll provide a crucial guide to a musical ride that ends with ‘Shout Out! To Freedom’.
As Warp Records longest serving signing N.O.W opened doors to new sonic landscapes for countless producers and musicians. Via his father and juxtaposed with soca from the islands, young George’s imagination was captured by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Sarah Vaughan and Quincy Jones. In his early teens, inner city bass heavy reggae sound systems would also make their mark. But it was the arrival of hip-hop in the UK, complete with its loop, sample, cut ‘n’ paste aesthetic that would provide the icing on the cake and a way forward. George alongside then writing partner Kevin Harper made his first contribution to the sonic continuum with two defining singles of the emerging rave scene, 1989’s ‘Dexterous’ and 1990’s ‘Aftermath’. This was closely followed by N.O.W’s 1991 debut album ‘A Word of Science: The First and Final Chapter’ for which George parked his techno sensibilities and mixed in more hip hop with a down tempo vibe. Its combination of loops and sample driven dubbed out funk, soul and hip hop would really establish the sound of N.O.W. 1995’s ‘Smokers Delight’ saw this downtempo vibe taken to a whole other level. Essentially designed to kick back and relax it pioneered what would become known as ‘chill’. To bookend the nineties came 1999’s ‘Carboot Soul’, the third chapter in a series of albums that for those of a certain persuasion perfectly captured the spirit of the decade – and you don’t stop…
N.O.W entered the 21st century with a whole new spin on things, 2002’s ‘Mind Elevation’ arrived with a combination of melody, beats and vocals that would see some serious success across radio airwaves with cuts like ‘Know My Name’ and ‘70’s 80’s. ‘In A Space Outta Sound’ released in 2006 was a veritable culture clash of musical influences, urban and international, informed by the travels of George’s alter ego DJ E.A.S.E. Recorded in transition between Leeds and Ibiza 2008’s ‘Thought So’ stayed true to his now distinctive style and seemed to mirror ‘95’s ‘Smokers Delight’ with raw yet typically well produced cuts featuring a splash of guest vocalists and his trademark dubbed out techniques. Whilst others chased the new 2013’s ‘Feeling Good’ pinned N.O.W’s colours firmly to the mast with another musical journey that continued to move forward without straying too far from the very path he’d paved. It somehow managed to tap into your emotions with a mesmerising laid back selection that earned George the reputation of being able to ‘bottle sunshine’. 2018’s ‘Shape The Future’ contained all the original ingredients, soul, dub, rap n’ reggae underpinned with some serious food for thought and George’s magical talent for creating something new whilst echoing so much our musical past. All these albums are an integral part of George’s musical journey and as such are essential but back to the matter at hand…
There’s no two ways about it, ‘Shout Out! To Freedom’ firmly establishes N.O.W as one of the most important and influential black British producers of his generation. This soundtrack for your soul feels like hooking up with a long lost friend. It’s immediately recognisable and wraps itself around you creating a world that’s unmistakably N.O.W. I’ve been a fan since way back when, yet I still find it almost impossible to vocalise my love for his sound ‘cause what George does can’t really be put into words, that’s why he does it on ‘wax’. But it was the advent of three unlikely and surprising events that would really set this particular record apart: personal trauma, time a by-product of the Covid pandemic and Black Lives Matter. It was a period during which the world stopped but in a way time also sped up for George against a backdrop of constant negative global noise.
What was happening on the outside was more than self-evident but what was the inner voice saying? That is the question George asked when he embarked on the creation of this, his 9th studio album. To seek answers he was forced to make the most of lockdown initially accessing voices from around the world via the net. Finding his feet as a bandleader, he formed creative bonds with new and upcoming talent that somehow connected with the history of N.O.W. The likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Haile Supreme, Mara TK, Sabrina Mahfouz. Greentea Peng, OSHUN and Pip Millett got the call, heard the brief and got on board with their own personal take on the very idea of freedom and ultimately that is what this record is all about. The enforced lockdown naturally led to a period of reflection and George himself sure had a lot to think about. Ten years on the road constantly touring didn’t leave a lot of time to ponder the ups, downs, sacrifice and success that comes with the territory. This personal re-examination came into sharp focus when a serious health scare saw him hospitalised. Vibrating between life and death it brought his own mortality into the mix. He emerged from this very private episode free and somehow more connected to himself and the planet - and then there was/is BLM. So what is freedom? Obviously many things to many people. We all know the problems but who’s brave enough to offer a way forward? Not necessarily an answer, just a medium to facilitate dialogue, a step towards the light. That was the driving force behind the making of ‘Shout Out! To Freedom’. For George that freedom came in the form of a return to family, a deep appreciation of his musical circumstance and the realisation that he was his best friend. Written with the gift of time each song comes from somewhere else literally, mentally and geographically. This cinematic selection of tracks are typified by cuts like ‘Imagineering’ which seems to perfectly set the scene as we emerge into a new cultural landscape - such is the power of N.O.W - rearranging the past to create new and brighter futures. ‘Breathe In ft. OSHUN’ was written and recorded during the first peak lockdown in NYC and shortly after George Floyd’s murder. The soul and hip-hop duo from NYC continue to explore the theme of freedom backed by a beat n’ bass heavy rhythm designed for you to look within and without. Continuing the movie vibe comes ‘3D Warrior’, an emotional horn driven piece straight from the heart courtesy of UK saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings and complemented by the haunting tones of Brooklyn sonic shaman Haile Supreme. By way of contrast the absolutely gorgeous ‘Wonder’, which also features Supreme n’ Hutchings, goes straight to your head with a galactic groove and an echoing refrain that you know will be with you for the rest of your life. With the final offering ‘Up To Us’ N.O.W leaves us with a soul-soothing soundtrack and positive lyrics to help you on your way.
At the end of the day all of the songs on this record are a call, a chant, a yearning for freedom in whatever form it may take. So ditch your emotional baggage for the journey and recognise the fact you’re not alone in your want. ‘Shout Out! To Freedom’ gives musical licence to set yourself free and acknowledge we’re in this thing together whatever this thing may be.

nightmares on wax - Moodymann Remix
Nightmares on Wax can now announce an extra special package of hand selected remixes for soulful stand out album cut 'Deep Shadows' feat Sadie Walker. Released as a 12" on July 13th the package features leading lights of all the components of the NoW sound. A rare remix from elusive Detroit legend Moodymann brings the deep dancefloor emotion, fellow Detroit son Illa J brings the blunted hip-hop bounce and Nightmares’ DJ E.A.S.E himself steps up the tempo for his club version. Since the release of his pivotal album ‘Shape The Future’ which was released very early this year, Nightmares on Wax has toured all over the world, with a forthcoming US tour and summer jam packed with festival dates still to come.
The album is a true testament to Nightmares on Wax’s 25 year career and showcases his ability to influence a whole new generation of artists. As Warp’s longest serving active artist, he has broadened the sound of the label and paved the way for artists such as Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Mount Kimbie.

The fourth studio album from Nightmares on Wax is no great change from the path taken by George Evelyn, yet expands upon the sound and style made famous with Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul. The orchestral swing of 'Mind Eye' meets the classic hip-hop style bass, just as 'Thinking of Omara' sees whispered vocals and muffled Rhodes keys collide with that same bass. 'Bleu My Mind' is a dance number by NoW standards, an uptempo dirge with a call-and-refrain strings and guitar section.

Larry Heard Presents: Loosefingers - Dreaming Of Better Days
Long awaited restocks of the third Loosefingers from Larry Heard. Fresh and remastered cut of What Is House? which is one of the dopest acid tracks that has been released in recent years! On this 12 the great extended version. Very stubborn and fierce track that has an endless cool groove that's just plain basic, but as most of Larry Heard's releases so powerful! On the flip side a long version of the deep and smooth Dreaming Of Better Days, that has that trademark jazzy sound of Larry Heard. Essential house record!

UPC: 827170470064 Release : 19.11.2012
A. Dntel - My Orphaned Son (Die Vögel Remix) AA. Herbert - It's Only (DJ Koze Remix)
Pampa is proud to present stunning remixes from Die Vögel for Dntel & DJ Koze for Matthew Herbert. Still impressed by the outstanding Dntel album "Aimlessness" Die Vögel deliver a remix that broadens their multifaceted sound aesthetics once again with catchy Steve-Reich'esque melodies that cover the voice of Jimmy Tamborello just like they always been there. A very powerful fundament is carrying the house, so big and full of suprises. Also, this house has many windows to all cardinal points.It was 2001 when Matthew Herbert enchanted us all with his blueprint album "Bodily Functions". 11 years later the distinctive DJ Koze takes on two of his all-time favs to remix, "You saw it all" (which will be part of the re-release on Accidental) and "It's only" which will be released by Pampa Records digitally AND on vinyl. The result is a breathtaking piece of modern music,
The beautiful voice of Dani Siciliano has experienced a total new dress, she´s now the irrestible captain of a fat but flexible submarine, diggin' in deep waters for new ways to enlighten the dancefloor...
An instant classic already....

Still impressed by the outstanding Dntel album "Aimlessness" Die Vögel deliver a remix that broadens their multifaceted sound aesthetics once again with catchy Steve-Reich'esque melodies that cover the voice of Jimmy Tamborello just like they always been there. A very powerful fundament is carrying the house, so big and full of suprises. Also, this house has many windows to all cardinal points.It was 2001 when Matthew Herbert enchanted us all with his blueprint album "Bodily Functions". 11 years later the distinctive DJ Koze takes on two of his all-time favs to remix, "You saw it all" (which will be part of the re-release on Accidental) and "It's only" which will be released by Pampa Records digitally AND on vinyl. The result is a breathtaking piece of modern music,
The beautiful voice of Dani Siciliano has experienced a total new dress, she´s now the irrestible captain of a fat but flexible submarine, diggin' in deep waters for new ways to enlighten the dancefloor...
An instant classic already....

dj koze - Knee On Belly
2026 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.

Grauzone - Ich Lieb Sie
2024 repress
The First Authorised, Official Re Edition of this Electronic, New Wave, Cold Wave, Pop, Synth, Post-Punk Classic, Personally Overseen by Stephan Eicher, Everything Original: Art, Tracklist, Cut on 45 rpm - Printed on 350 GSM Paperstock incl. Sticker!
WRWTFWW Records is very honored to announce the official reissue of Grauzone’s essential 1981 maxi single with timeless classic "Eisbär", proto-techno beast "FILM 2", and romantic synth ballad "Ich Lieb Sie", just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Swiss band’s formation. The three-track vinyl is sourced from the original reels, cut at 45rpm, and comes with its iconic artwork on a 350gsm sleeve.

WRWTFWW Records is very honored to announce the official reissue of Grauzone’s essential 1981 maxi single with timeless classic "Eisbär", proto-techno beast "FILM 2", and romantic synth ballad "Ich Lieb Sie", just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Swiss band’s formation. The three-track vinyl is sourced from the original reels, cut at 45rpm, and comes with its iconic artwork on a 350gsm sleeve.
Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein…Written by Martin Eicher after a nightmare in which he saw talking polar bears on the walls, and with music by the Grauzone crew consisting of Martin and his brother Stephan Eicher, Marco Repetto, Christian "GT" Trüssel, and Claudine Chirac (on saxophone), "Eisbär" is the most recognizable title from the band, a sublime mix of ingredients reflecting the transitional era it comes from - the raw energy of punk music still palpable, combined with the audacity of early electronics, the warm groove of a disco gem, beautifully fragile lyrics, and one of the best basslines ever. It became a mega hit, totally unplanned, but how could you resist such a track?
"FILM 2" is the ultimate b-side monster, a menacing all-instrumental pre-techno masterpiece, slowly building to a magnetizing frenzy. An instant underground favorite, it was famously heard played at both speeds depending on the scenes and DJs you were frequenting, 45rpm as it was first intended, and 33rpm for the cosmic experience (search Daniele Baldelli’s Cosmic C75 1982 mixtape online for a great example of this).
The maxi single ends with "Ich Lieb Sie", a synth-pop meets doo-wop ballad, a true love song oozing with innocence. Simple, stylish, and just right.
At the crossroads of post-punk, new wave, pop, and electronic experimentation, the Eisbär maxi offers three songs that are technically different but hold the same spirit, the perfect embodiment of Grauzone’s music - wild, unpredictable, and youthful, yet sophisticated, catchy, and ingenious. The magic recipe for the good stuff.
Stephan Eicher went on to be, arguably, the most successful Swiss musician ever, with an international career extending from pop chanson to experimental escapades and collaborations with Moondog, artists Sophie Calle and John Armleder, and author Martin Suter among many other luminaries. Marco Repetto flourished as a techno and ambient producer, releasing multiple projects including releases on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label.
Grauzone and WRWTFWW will continue to collaborate on the band’s 40th anniversary reissue campaign, with numerous projects planned for the year, including a vast selection of music, visuals, and literature never available before.

DJ Koze - Pick Up (12" Extended Disco Version)
2
DJ Koze - The Love Truck
2025 repress
Tracklist
A. Pick Up (12" Extended Disco Version)
B. The Love Truck
DJ Koze might be one of the world's best producers, but above all he's a DJ, and it's his DJ ear that governs. Just as in a great set, so with his releases: "Seeing Aliens" came out of nowhere, a big buzzing beast of a track, to announce that Koze was back on the scene and prime everyone for the coming album, knock knock. But now that Koze has your attention, it's time to remind everyone what's most important about club music, pull things back, take a turn to the left, and get deep into the groove.
Thus "Pick Up": the second single from knock knock is 100% pure groove, doubly so in the extended 12" version. In a sense it's incredibly familiar - it is essentially a filter disco record, very close to something you could imagine coming out of Paris around the turn of the millennium. But of course, this is Koze. Nothing is normal or familiar in his world, and he's taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory. Flipping samples of Gladys Knight & the Pips "Neither One Of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" and Melba Moore's "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance", it creates something completely airborne, shot through with emotions such as gods must feel: not quite explicable to the human mind but strong enough to knock you off your feet. In its way it's absolutely as powerful as "Seeing Aliens", but it comes in like the proverbial iron fist in a glove of velvet.
The flip, a ten-minute new track, "The Love Truck" is a big contrast again. If "Pick Up" is giddy flight, "The Love Truck" is woozy floating. Its sharp, clicking percussion recalls 2000s minimal techno, but this time absolutely nothing is generic. The long, intense, on-and-off bass tones, the flickers of birdsong, the pure voices slipping in backwards as if from the future... it's all like the most blissful dream, and culminates in a coda so subtle yet so beautiful it's like ever time you've ever seen the sun rise and thought "I never want this to end", all the while understanding deep down that the fleeting nature of the pleasure is also what give it its power. But of course, being created with that consummate DJ's ear, it's also full of the thrill of wondering what Koze has in store next.

Jhobei - Beatagroove Funk (Carl Finlow Remix)
Following a wildly successful first release, Risk/Reward returns with an outstanding EP from Bizarre Trax bossman and Felon5 member Jhobei, featuring a remix from UK electro royalty Carl Finlow no less! Digitaria combines a groovy organ bass with psychedelic synths and progressive elements, to create a dancefloor-focused, trance-inducing bomb, guaranteed to get crowds of all sizes moving. Trippy, hypnotic but always playful, the perfect track to bring the energy up in the room. A monster bassline, punchy drums and dreamy pads make Thinking Nodes a versatile tool, equally at home early in the night or deep into the after hours. Classic UKG swing meets deep house, plus a sprinkling of rave elements go into the recipe, making a tasty treat for DJs and collectors alike. Beatagroove Funk see's Jhobei channel his inner Random Factor, to create an Electro House ripper, with quirky vocals, glitchy synths, a bassline straight out of a 80s new wave banger and enough drive in the drums to make this a peak time weapon. Carl Finlow delivers an epic masterpiece on the remix of Beatagroove Funk, creating a work of sheer beauty that sounds like a blissful sunset cruise on a hover bike through a futuristic metropolis. Unexplainably detailed and emotional, this is the work of a true master of his craft and will surely go on to be recognized as some of his very best work - simply unmissable! With heavy support from Tini, Harry McCanna, Anna Wall, Rich NxT, Voigtmann and more, Jhobei's star seems destined to keep rising, as Risk/Reward continues to establish itself as a must buy label

Info
When we first caught wind of German Brigante a couple years back we knew he was on to something - it had everything to do with his focus on 'a bumping, groovy form of tech house that aims straight for your hips and keeps dancefloors filled with energy'. It is this focus that has landed him a few high profile releases with labels like Get Physical Music, Saved, Monaberry or Kittball throughout the past couple years.
Now, once more we welcome the young Spaniard and his debut album 'Bipolar' to Get Physical Music.
'Bipolar' is a 10 track (including intro, interlude and outro) selection of some of the producers best work to date. Set for a double vinyl release (digital to follow), the album also features vocals from Nick Maurer and collaborations with Synsethyzer and fellow Get Physical artist, FreakMe. Whether you hear it on vinyl, stream, or mp3, here's what's in store for you…
The first notes belong to 'Synopsis', introducing the album with a warm bath of pads and synthwork before getting down to business with Nick Maurer in 'The Ones'. A soft number, with a delicate and melancholic atmosphere, the track utilizes numerous elements that give the track a beautiful early synth-pop feel as Nick Maurer's vocals do the rest. Moving along, we're treated to another scene-setting synth-bath before hitting 'Microluxe (808 Instrumental Mix)'. Again here, German Brigante puts his deliciously retro touch on the track. Big synths, classic percussion take us to a beautiful place in the late night world of the artist. FreakMe and Synsethyzer join in for the next track. 'We Got it', the collaborative effort between the three has proven to be extremely fruitful, with another fantastic and dynamic track to put your local dancefloor into a frenzy. 'So Good' was teased a few months back in EP form with solid remixes. The track appears here too, in its original, gut-grinding, foot-tapping glory. German Brigante takes the energy down a bit for the next track, employing thick, deep, dark synths laid out under a warm canvas of pads and percussion while the sequences slowly rise to '30 Degrees'. 'Memories (Get Physical Edition)' is another dark and frantic number that delivers heavy dose of tech-house to the album and brings the energy back up and our feet to the dancefloor.
Before the outro takes us down gently and returns us to where we came from, German Brigante has one more trick up his sleeve, 'Be Right Back'. Here the artist takes us on one last adventure through the night with another solid dance track.
Bipolar has turned out to be a wonderful example of how the synth-savvy producer masterfully forges and arranges his creations to get a result that is more the just the sum of its components. We're absolutely thrilled to share this with you and are looking forward to what the future brings for German Brigante.
