Up next is the first volume of the new Melodies Record Club series on Melodies International. Four Tet kicks off proceedings with two of his favorite leftfield jazz joints from the early seventies by the likes of alto sax giant Jackie McLean playing a fierce stepper by legendary percussionist Michael Carvin and Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath featuring the great Dudu Pukwana.

Number three is a neat little reissue of Gerald Donald’s self-titled 1999 Intuit-Solar EP on Clone. Seminal work by the Drexciya and Dopplereffekt member who is also known as Arpanet, Heinrich Mueller and Z Therapy.

Prescription re-releases the essential ‘Life 4 Living’, an anthemic Ron Trent classic that features the talents of Anthony Nicholson and Monica Elam. Wonderful stuff!

Here’s a fast flyer: the sultry broken beats of Bruxelles-based Mambele for Vice City. 250 copies only and no repress, so get it while it’s hot!

Special attention for ‘Muscle Memory’, the long-awaited debut album by Dutch power players Jacco Gardner and Nic Mauskovic for Dekmantel as Bruxas. It’s dense, dubby and delightful.

Knopha’s ‘Nothing Nil’ is a beautiful blissed-out Balearics-inspired post-ambient affair hailing from China. Originally released in 2018 we’re super happy to see this getting another run.

The same goes for Steve Rachmad’s classic 1995 ‘Asphyx’ EP. Originally released on 100% Pure in 1995, this great four track EP is now available once again courtesy of Delsin.

Burial bounces back with a frantic twelve minute 1990-style breakbeat rave saga and a euphoric static-ridden ambient excursion. Not for everyone, but hey, it’s Burial!

Last but most certainly not least: ‘Just a Genesis’ by Gesloten Cirkel’s slower and lower alter ego Ratsnake for Place to Blame. You know the drill.
