Limited repress soon! From his early days in 90s collective KMD to his reinvention as a masked supervillain leading the indie hip-hop revolution, MF DOOM has consistently pushed the boundaries of hip-hop in new and unexpected directions. While DOOM’s lyrical genius is welldocumented, he has quietly become an important figure behind the boards as well. DOOM has always produced his own music, and in the early 2000s he released the acclaimed ten-part Special Herbs instrumental series, introducing the world to the dusty, lo-fi loops that define his production aesthetic. In the years since, DOOM has supplied soundscapes for Ghostface Killah’s classic Fishscale album, produced an entire album for Masta Ace, and witnessed a new generation of emcees (including Joey Bada$$, Capital STEEZ, and Bishop Nehru) using Special Herbs beats on their breakthrough mixtapes. Now, the villain is putting the spotlight back on his production with the official vinyl release of Special Blends, Vol. 1 & 2. Originally self-released in extremely limited quantities back in 2004, Special Blends Vol. 1 & 2 pairs vintage DOOM-produced Special Herbs instrumentals with classic hip-hop and R&B vocals. Mixed by DOOM himself, this collection incorporates vocals from a wide range of iconic records.
Experience the exceedingly rare genius of an MF DOOM live performance with these exclusive “straight from the soundboard” audio recordings. Broadcasting from an undisclosed location, this limited-edition vinyl pressing of “Live From Planet X” offers fans a chance to own the most comprehensive glance into Doom’s lengthy career available. Debuting under the alias Zev Love X, DOOM first graced the world of hip-hop on the 3rd Bass single “The Gas Face.” A couple years later Zev re-emerged alongside his younger brother DJ Subroc, in New York’s legendary KMD. The group’s first album Mr. Hood was released in 1991 on Elektra Records but KMD was quickly dropped from the record label when, in the wake of Subroc being killed by a car, they returned in ‘93 with an unflinching attitude and an album titled “Bl_ck B_st_rds”. Deeply affected by his brother’s tragic death, while also carrying a grudge against the industry that screwed him, Zev disappeared from the rap scene for five years. It wasn’t until 1999, that Zev suddenly reemerged, face masked, as MF DOOM with his 1999 solo debut and underground classic “Operation: Doomsday”. Since then DOOM has completely reinvented the indie-rap landscape with a string of offbeat projects under an array of monikers: Metal Fingers, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, Monsta Island Czars, Madvillain, DangerDOOM, NehruivanDOOM, and more. “Live From Planet X” includes over 50 minutes of live recordings spanning Operation Doomsday, Madvillain, MM...Food?, and more.
Limited repress soon! MF DOOM is the man in the iron mask. The most mysterious figure in hip-hop has also become one of the most popular, supplying beats and rhymes for Gorillaz, De La Soul, Madlib, Danger Mouse, and Wu-Tang Clan, and drawing praise from heavyweights like Just Blaze, Nas, and Mos Def. Since 2002, DOOM has released numerous volumes of Special Herbs, one of the longest-running instrumental series in hip-hop history. Now, the fifth and sixth volumes in the acclaimed series are available on vinyl for the first time in years. With obscure loops and dusty samples galore, Special Herbs Vol. 5 & 6 is a must-have for any DOOM fan or hip-hop head. Also includes a limited-edition bonus 7”, featuring two beats from DOOM’s days as a member of 90s hip-hop trio KMD.
Berlin-based hip-hop producer S. Fidelity shaped his brand new album “Fidelity Radio Club” via Jakarta Records in the form of a genre crossing radio show exploring hip-hop, R&B, jazz, house & funk in all its depths creating the multi-layered album he always dreamt to do; orchestrating a stoking line-up of equally talented friends & fellows (NDO, K, Le Maestro, Bluestaeb, Melodiesinfonie, Suff Daddy, Àbáse, etc.) while still delivering that personal touch every classic producer album comes with.
Limited repress soon ! From his early days as Zev Love X to his reinvention as a masked supervillain leading the indie hip-hop revolution, lyrical savant MF DOOM has remained one of the most interesting figures in the rap universe. While most fans already worship classic albums like “Operation Doomsday”, “MM...FOOD”, and “Madvillainy”, DOOM’s output also includes a number of guest appearances, non-album singles, promo tracks, and other rarities that never made it onto an official release. Now, those tracks are finally available on “Unexpected Guests”, a limited-edition vinyl collection showcasing rare MF DOOM material. Included are collaborations with the likes of Talib Kweli, J Dilla, Ghostface Killah, Sean Price, Count Bass D, Vast Aire, Masta Killa, and more. Many of these tracks have never been available on vinyl before, making “Unexpected Guests” an essential addition to DOOM’s already impressive catalog.
Mit The Torso Tapes veröffentlichen Baal & Mortimer ihr zweites Album (nach Deixis, 2020 auf Bureau B). Eine Mini-LP: acht neue Stücke, darunter zwei kurze instrumentale Zwischenspiele. Baal & Mortimer ist Alexandra Grübler. Sie wuchs in Düsseldorf auf und lebt in Berlin. Baal & Mortimer ist ein Spiel von exzentrischem Folk – aus einer abgeschlossenen Zukunft, einem Canterbury des 23 Jahrhunderts. Der Gesang ist mehrstimmig geschichtet, orchestral, moduliert harmonisch, umgarnt die Instrumente und schmiegt sich selbst als solches in die Musik ein. Klänge, die die Anmutung von volkstümlichen Instrumenten atmen, Horn und Blasebalg, Dudelsack und Flöte, Klavier, Wasserorgel und Fidel. Baal & Mortimer sind Meister der Verführung, sie bezaubern uns, sie kommen uns ganz ganz nahe, umtanzen uns und tanzen mit uns, umarmen uns, und bieten den schönsten Trost.

Die irische Country-Sängerin Holly Macve legt den Nachfolger ihres 2017er Debüts "Golden Eagle" (Bella Union) vor. War der Erstling geprägt von einer reduzierten Saloon-Noir-Stimmung, klingt der Sound auf "Not The Girl" breiter und üppiger, inspiriert vor allem durch die Live-Erfahrung mit Mercury Rev. Die 11 neuen Songs bewegen sich zwischen Drone-Country, Memphis-Soul und Dream-Pop, Referenzen sind Mazzy Star, Velvet Underground und selbstverständlich Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood. Zahlreiche Gastmusiker wie Gitarrist Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral), Strings-Arrangeurin Fiona Brice (Placebo, John Grant) und Pedal-Steeler CJ Hillman (Billy Bragg) trugen zum neuen Klangbild bei, abgemischt wurde das Werk von Collin Dupuis (Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen).
th1rt3en is what you would get If Led Zeppelin and Kendrick Lamar had a baby and raised it in Jamaica, Queens. The gritty production coupled with live instrumentation and exquisite lyricism creates a unique yet familiar sound that has been tried before but hasn’t ever reached this level of artistry. The brainchild of legendary emcee Pharoahe Monch, who is joined by Jack White drummer Daru Jones and guitarist Marcus Machado (winner of the 2014 Rolling Stone magazine’s Next Young Gun), th1rt3en is aggressive, abrasive, often irreverent and fearless with their examination of the world today.
