A bit late this month as stuff is still busy but winding down on the promo front and I’m starting new projects finally. Loads of new music again to sooth the soul; 2 Headed Deer continue their Library Music Series with the third release: The Occult – very good it is too, reminiscent of early Ghost Box in places. Tezeta were a new name to me when I bumped into Sean from Klang Tone Records in Soho the other week. He furnished me with their new album on his label and it’s a killer, the perfect midpoint between jazz and afrobeat and not a bad track on there. Project Gemini have a new album out with Wendy Martinez but this little 45 I’d missed from earlier this year arrived in the post with it and it hits the spot for me. Sherman Heath is a new name on a new label, Coarse Fish Records, whose debut TGVM EP contains a whole host of tracks and is well worth checking out.

Marshall Jefferson on Utter? Yep. If you dig 24 minute meditational house designed to do Tai Chi to then this is your release of the year, even better is the digital version with bonus 18 min Vertical and Horizontal mixes by Joakim and an acapella. Nebraska has been digging in the DATs again and come up with four unreleased gems, my favourite being the Dudley Moore-sampling ‘Cinema’. Kista‘s new album veers between old school cut and paste hip hop homages to tripped out mushroom folk with hard breakbeats and Move 78 announce their second album of 2025, which I’ve heard in full and is another contender for LP of the year – no kidding. Finally it’s a classic reissue from Polygon Window aka Richard D James, I don’t need to say much about this other than, if you don’t know it then you need it in your life.
