PRESALE - MF Doom - MM..FOOD (20th Anniversary Edition) (RYHMESAYERS)

Black Vinyl 2LP £32.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 29th May 2026

In celebration of the album’s 20th anniversary, MM..FOOD has been repackaged with all new artwork by Sam Rodriguez! Produced by MF DOOM, except "One Beer" produced by Madlib, and "Kon Queso” produced by PNS of the Molemen. Guest features include Count Bass D, Mr Fantastik, Angelika and 4ize. QR- activated immersive AR experiences with album artwork. Brand new music video for "Hoe Cakes" planned for album street date.

Originally released in 2004, MF DOOM's MM..FOOD is hailed as a classic hip-hop album full of inventive production, brilliant wordplay, and unique themes. Celebrated for its seamless blend of humor, wit, and social commentary, the album ushers listeners into a bizarre world of food-related metaphors, painting a bitterly comedic portrait of a life tainted by vice, violence, and jealousy. It was a brilliant and novel concept that gave DOOM plenty of room to explore the album’s subjects.

Throughout MM..FOOD, DOOM embeds complex ideas within seemingly simple narratives. Album opener “Beef Rapp” is a multi-pronged metaphor reminding listeners of the dangers involved in the glorification of conflict, especially within the rap game. “Hoe Cakes” borrows its name from the sweet, hot water cornmeal patties, which he uses as a symbol to rhyme about indulgence and excess. Continuing the motif, DOOM uses the Madlib-produced “One Beer” to fold layers of depth about escapism and ego, while the popular “Rapp Snitch Knishes” critiques the self-incrimination and contradictory behaviors of some rappers.

Overall, MM..FOOD is both a social commentary and a piece of social satire, showcasing MF DOOM’s ability to blend serious themes with his unique, playful lyrical style. MM..FOOD album sales history over 820K+ units sold (RIAA-certified gold). MM..FOOD streaming history over 1.2M+ streams. MF DOOM’’s catalog sales history over 1.7M+ units sold. MF DOOM’s catalog streaming history over 3B+ streams.

PRESALE - Lord Finesse - Keep It Flowing ft. A.G. (Large Professor Remix) (Funky Technician)

Limited Edition Vinyl LP £17.49 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 12th June 2026

Lord Finesse’s 1990 debut Funky Technician is a cornerstone of New York hip-hop. This limited 7-inch spotlights the Large Professor Remix of “Keep It Flowing” ft. A.G. — presented for the first time as its own dedicated release, backed by the instrumental making its vinyl debut, and housed in a heavyweight glossy jacket.

Released in 1990 as Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth, Funky Technician introduced Lord Finesse to the world as one of the most complete artists to emerge from the Bronx hip-hop scene. A razor-sharp MC, elite DJ, and gifted producer, Finesse arrived fully formed — his debut showcasing a command of flow, timing, and boom-bap construction that few could match. Produced largely by Diamond D, DJ Premier and Showbiz, the album stands today as a cornerstone of New York’s golden era, revered for its stripped-back grit and technical precision.

In the years that followed, Finesse's reputation only grew — his production fingerprints on records by The Notorious B.I.G. and Dr. Dre, and widely credited with bringing Big L into the spotlight; to know Lord Finesse is to understand a significant thread running through the fabric of 90s hip-hop. "Keep It Flowing" was a standout from Funky Technician, featuring a then-emerging A.G. in an early connection that predated Showbiz & A.G. as an official group, and when Finesse developed remix work around the album, he brought in Large Professor — who had already delivered something extraordinary on another track from the project — to reimagine it; this 45 is the dedicated home of that remix, backed by the instrumental.

Tracklist:
Side A: Keep It Flowing ft. A.G. (Large Professor Remix)
Side B: Keep It Flowing (Large Professor Remix – Instrumental)

‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ unites two kindred spirit rappers from opposite coasts within SURF GANG’s world-building genius. Structured as a true double album - MIKE on one side, Earl on the other - ‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ unfolds through a rotating cast of side quests and characters from within its shared creative ecosystem.

Jadasea, Anysia Kym, Niontay, Na-Kel Smith and Lerado Khalil all make appearances, passing through the album’s vast terrain while, behind the scenes, SURF GANG producers Harrison, EvilGiane, Elipropperr and Flea Diamonds (with input from additional producers) wield the gritty, raspy, animated beats that build its container.

Arriving on the heels of 2025 albums from both rappers - MIKE’s ‘Showbiz!’ and Earl’s ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ - ‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ plays like a victory lap that traces their friendship back over more than a decade. Where two rappers going head-to-head might otherwise incite rivalry or comparison, ‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ offers something rooted and communal - a shared understanding of care, joy, grief, process and responsibility to something larger than yourself.

Estimated Shipping Date: 19th June 2026

By the time Mobb Deep hit with their third album – Hell On Earth – they were solidified street legends.

Estimated Shipping Date: 14th May 2026

'Collaboration is stimulating, it's in my blood.' Thus speaks Brian Jackson and his philosophy for making music and it's indeed collaboration that runs through this amazing album of reimagined and revisited songs from his artistic past. Featuring artists such as Black Thought, Rahsaan Patterson, Josh Milan, Moodymann, Omar, J. Ivy and others and being produced by Masters At Work, Now More Than Ever takes the enduring classic tracks that Brian made with Gil Scott-Heron and places them in the now over nineteen tracks and across a triple vinyl LP, CD and digital release. Songs such as Lady Day & John Coltrane, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Home Is Where The Hatred Is, Winter In America, The Bottle and more soundtracked a generational movement of Black Consciousness in the 70s and 80s. As Brian says, 'This album is one way to connect to what we were about in the 70s; we were about change and this is part of the lineage of resistance. These tracks mark a period of time when resistance was essential and now a younger generation has picked them up.' 'As young men in their twenties we (Brian and Gil) just wrote about what we saw and were feeling and people interpreted these songs in ways we never thought about but as Sly stone said the song comes from me but it's for you.' This statement from Brian perfectly sums up the collaborative nature of Now More Than Ever and the relevance of these songs in a contemporary perspective can be perfectly summed up by the songs themselves. The formidable stable of artists contributing to each track and the excellent production from Louie Vega and Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez make this album an event in itself. However, these songs are there to be enjoyed as a canon or as individual masterpieces, whether on the dancefloor or on a home system. Available as a high res. digital release or a triple vinyl LP Now More Than Ever just has to be in everybody's music collection.

PRESALE - Del The Funky Homosapien - Future Development (RHYMESAYERS ENTERTAINMENT)

Blue Vinyl 2LP £32.99 Add to basket
CD £14.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 26th June 2026

Future Development is Del the Funky Homosapien’s third album and, following his departure from major label Elektra, his first solo full-length for his independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings. Originally released on cassette in 1997, and later reissued on CD and vinyl in 2002, the album largely relied on in-house production from Del along with contributions from Hiero crew members A-Plus, Opio, and Toure. The only guest feature on the album is from crew member Casual, who joins Del on the energetic “Checking Out The Rivalry.”

Sonically, Future Development bridges the funk-heavy stylings of Del’s debut with the darker, more futuristic textures he explored on No Need for Alarm. Lyrically, Del refines his rapid-fire wordplay with sharper thematic focus, tackling life in Oakland, societal observations and hip-hop culture, all with a blend of humor, streetwise insight, and multi-syllabic dexterity. Ultimately, the album captures a snapshot of his progression from raw talent to a more conceptually matured songwriter. It remains a significant and under-appreciated chapter in Del’s evolution, showcasing early seeds of the creativity and independence that would come to define much of his career thereafter.

Tracklist:
1. LYRIC LICKING 2. STRESS THE WORLD 3. WHY YOU WANNA GET FUNKY... 4. DON’T FORGET THE BASS 5. FAULTY 6. X-FILES 7. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT 8. CORNER STORY 9. LOVE IS WORTH 10. DEL’S NIGHTMARE 11. GAMES BEGIN 12. TOWN TO TOWN 13. CHECKIN OUT THE RIVALRY feat. CASUAL

JUST IN - Danger Mouse & Jemini - Born Again (Lex Records)

Vinyl LP £23.99 Add to basket
Green Vinyl LP £23.99 Add to basket

Celebrated producer and musician Danger Mouse and prodigiously talented New York rapper Jemini team up for their second collaborative album.

Remarkably this soul and funk infused hip-hop tour de force arrived two decades after its creation and the duo’s debut LP, Ghetto Pop Life which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2013! Enthused by the response to Ghetto Pop Life , soon after Danger Mouse and Jemini began to tour and to write and record Born Again.

Finally, having been recorded two decades ago and indefinitely shelved, Born Again was released in 2013. The previously unheard record retains many of the elements of Danger Mouse and Jemini’s debut; the fun-loving, shit-talking innocence, but also adopts a noticeably more introspective and confessional tone.

This time, in addition to lighthearted topics such as being an incredible artist “Knuckle Sandwich II”, “Brooklyn Basquiat”, living large and being amagnet for attention “Me”, Jemini also delivers highly-personal and occasionally devastating lyrics about missed opportunities and redemption “All I”, “Born Again”, his time in prison “Locked Up” and complicated relationship with his father “Dear Poppa”. His effortless free flowing cadence and indelible sing-song delivery elevate each track with a melodic infectiousness whilst Danger Mouse exhibits an affinity for resonant instrumentals built from sampled organ, vibraphone, or guitar loops and infused with his trademark minor key magic. The result is a classic, timeless hip- hop record.

Tracklist:
1.All I 2.Locked Up 3.Me 4.Knuckle Sandwich II 5.Born Again 6.Brooklyn Bazquiat 7.Walk the Walk 8.Where You From 9.Dear Poppa 10. World Music

PRESALE - Abstract Tribe Unique - South Central Thynk Taynk (Remastered) (RHYMESAYERS ENTERTAINMENT)

Vinyl LP £35.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 5th June 2026

Originally released in 1998, South Central Thynk Taynk by Abstract Tribe Unique (Abstract Rude, Fat Jack, Zulu Butterfly Priest, Irie Lion King, and DJ Drez.)

captured a pivotal moment in Los Angeles’ underground scene—when young Black artists were reimagining hip-hop from the ground up. Blending jazz-inflected beats, spiritual insight, and fiercely independent production, the album became an anthem for self-reliance and creative rebellion. Now reissued by Rhymesayers Entertainment as a deluxe 2xLP set with a lyric booklet and bonus track, this long-unavailable classic returns for a new generation.

At the cultural core of the record is Project Blowed, a legendary L.A. crew founded by Abstract Rude and Aceyalone, which birthed a lineage of rap innovators whose fingerprints are still felt in global hip-hop. While mainstream rap embraced the West Coast’s G-funk boom, the Blowed crew forged an alternate path— steeped in jazz, radical politics, and Afrocentric futurism. Thynk Taynk stands as a richly layered time capsule from this revolutionary moment, pairing Ab Rude’s deep lyricism with Fat Jack’s genre-melding approach to production, creating a poetic reflection on family, struggle, and artistic purpose.

This new edition includes the “L.A. Styles Back (Project Blowed Remix)” featuring a cross-generational lineup of heavyweights— Aceyalone, Myka 9, Medusa, Pigeon John, Blu, 2Mex, Ellay Khule, Riddlore, and NGAFSH—underscoring how L.A.’s underground has remained a creative epicenter for decades. South Central Thynk Taynk is more than a cult artifact; it’s a living document of transformation, community, and artistic power.

PRESALE - Your Brother’s Keeper & Gary Bartz - Where Rivers Meet (Brownswood)

Vinyl LP £25.99 Add to basket
CD £11.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 19th June 2026

Gary Bartz and new London ensemble Your Brother‘s Keeper collaborate on Where Rivers Meet, a deeply intuitive new studio album capturing a rare meeting between generations of jazz musicians. Released on June 19, 2026 via Brownswood Recordings, as the label celebrates its 20th anniversary, the record brings together Bartz’s jazz lineage and a new collective emerging from London’s vibrant jazz scene. The result is music that unfolds with openness and intensity, guided by deep listening and collective improvisation.

At the centre of the project is Bartz, one of the most influential voices in modern jazz. A saxophonist whose career spans more than five decades, Bartz emerged performing with Charles Mingus, Max Roach and Art Blakey before joining Miles Davis during the trumpeter’s electrifying early-1970s period. He soon became a defining figure of the spiritual jazz movement through his celebrated NTU Troop recordings, creating a body of work that continues to resonate across generations of musicians and listeners alike. His playing - lyrical, searching and unmistakably soulful - remains one of the most distinctive voices in jazz.

The album also marks the arrival of Your Brother‘s Keeper, a new collective assembled by drummer and producer Jake Long (Maisha) and rooted and shared in musical dialogue and improvisation. Featuring Ali MacSween (piano, synthesizers and modular FX), Axel Kaner-Lidstrom (trumpet), Twm Dylan (double bass), Tim Doyle (percussion) and Chelsea Carmichael (tenor saxophone), alongside Long on drums, the group reflects a scene that has reshaped the sound of contemporary jazz over the past decade.

PRESALE - Pratt & Moody & Cold Diamond & Mink - Hard Way To Live/You Bring Me Joy (Timmion Records)

Transparent Yellow Vinyl 7" £8.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 15th May 2026

Pratt & Moody return with a new 7” single on Timmion Records, pairing “Hard Way To Live” with “You Bring Me Joy” – two deep diving soul cuts that reaffirm their place among the true pioneers of the modern sweet & beat soul revival. Written and recorded together with Timmion’s trusted house band Cold Diamond & Mink, the single continues a lineage that has consistently blurred the line between contemporary songwriting and timeless soul aesthetics. The A-side, “Hard Way To Live,” finds Pratt & Moody firmly in their beat ballad lane. Built on a warm, funky foundation, the song balances emotional weight with melodic lift, as its chorus opens into crossover soul-pop territory. Lyrically, it wrestles with life-earned scars and the quiet difficulty of letting go of pain that they cause – the feeling of keeping on running even after you’ve spent the last of what you had. ”On the flip, “You Bring Me Joy” unfolds like a slow-burning David Lynch scene, its dramatic crawl evoking soundtrack soul before bursting into a Stax-era Staple Singers inspired chorus. Tremolo-soaked guitar lines nod to classic dark surf music, while Emilia Sisco’s gospel-tinged background vocals nod to Mavis Staples, elevating the track into full emotional bloom. Together, these two songs offer a vivid preview of Pratt & Moody’s upcoming album – a deeper plunge into soulful storytelling, their tried and tested lowrider soul chops, and modern clarity, soon to follow on Timmion Records.

Tracklist:
Side A: 1. Hard Way To Live
Side B: 1. You Bring Me Joy

White Vinyl LP £25.99 Add to basket
CD £11.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 29th May 2026

Hailed as "the epitome of Southern Soul" (VIBE) and a "bluesy stroke of brilliance" (Okayplayer), with "a voice molded by the gospel church and a near preternatural handling of the deep-down intensity of the blues" (KCRW), Miss Black America further expands KIRBY’s mission to reclaim her roots, and bring Mississippi music and culture to the masses. As Elton John recently proclaimed, KIRBY is "destined for great things," and with this album, she turns the page on a profound and personal next chapter, daring listeners to hear the foot stomping, humming and yearning, and transform those sounds into purpose and power. While KIRBY has co-written and collaborated with everyone from Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney to Beyoncé, Black Thought, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Donald Glover and more, cultivating millions of fans including Hayley Williams and countless others, Miss Black America is entirely her own. Choosing hymns over hits, stories over samples, and truth over trends, this project marks the most inspired work of her career, taking you from the Saturday cookout to the Sunday church service, while getting you through working for "The Man" on Monday. It is blues and soul music for the future, and made for those who came before her: the ancestors who danced, cried and sang on the land of the Dockery Plantation where she descends from, and where many credit as the birthplace of the Delta blues.

SIDE A 1. When You Coming Home 2. Bettadaze 3. Miss Black America 4. The Man 5. Thick N Country 6. Na$ty

PRESALE - John Brown The Rapper & Da Beatminerz - Waxing In Mecca (Shields Green)

Vinyl 2LP £35.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 29th May 2026

Between 2022 and 2024, after decades of building his rap career, John Brown the Rapper decided to sharpen his already formidable pen at Pendulum Ink– a rigorous, almost mythic training ground for lyricists led by Mickey Factz and a rotating cast of elite emcees. Often described as the X-Men school for lyricism, the online academy helped Brown hone his craft, which finds its fullest expression on Waxing In Mecca, his full-length collaborative album with legendary Brooklyn production duo Da Beatminerz. Waxing In Mecca is both statement and philosophy. The title is a nod to the phrase “waxing poetic”, the act of delivering dense, elevated lyricism. The album was written and recorded in Harlem, a cultural mecca of NYC. The album title also reframes the idea of boom bap’s relevance, asserting that rather than waning, the sound is in a constant state of growth, expanding in complexity and impact, shining brighter with each new generation of artists committed to the craft. Sonically cohesive yet thematically expansive, Waxing In Mecca moves from deeply personal narratives like love and parent-induced trauma, to expansive conceptual ideas like quantum physics and social commentary. Anchored by meticulous songwriting and a clear artistic vision, the album doesn’t chase trends—it builds worlds, rewarding listeners who return again and again to uncover new layers

Tracklist:
1. Intro 2. Waxing In Mecca (feat. Smif-N-Wessun) 3. Words Of Rapture 4. Extraordinary 5. The Body Rock 6. The Joint (feat. Craig G) 7. Rain 8. Basement To Penthouse 9. Come Thru & Collect (feat.

Estimated Shipping Date: 29th May 2026

If you were to ask Joey Quiñones where he found inspiration for his music, you wouldn't have to look far from where the East LA son grew up. Listen to his work, and you're transported to a two-block radius of his neighborhood— from the liquor store to Sign of Music record store on Whittier Boulevard and back to a homie's house. In those two blocks, you hear cumbia blaring from the stores, punk rehearsals from a garage, oldies drifting from a neighbor's yard—a sensory overload that follows you home, all those genres singing in your head at once. This isn't a revelation to longtime fans of Quiñones' music. He has established himself as a premier interpreter of his generation, dedicating his career to offering his unique perspective on the Chicano soul songbook. But before Thee Sinseers, before the lush orchestrations and pitch-perfect harmonies that became his signature, Quiñones cut his teeth leading various backing bands for visiting Jamaican ska and dancehall acts touring Southern California. He describes those years as reggae college, getting yelled at by every Jamaican artist who had a record out. Those years of apprenticeship in rock steady and roots reggae would inform everything that followed—and on his new solo record Inna Soul Steady Situation, Quiñones finally showcases those influences front and center.

Tracklist:
1. Soul Steady Situation 2. Guess That’s Just Loving You 3. There Must Be Something 4. Don’t Let Go 5. In My Arms 6. For You 7. Driftin’ 8. Don’t Be Late 9. Bolsita 10. One More Night 11. Situation 2

CZARFACE – Wu-Tang founding MC Inspectah Deck and veteran Boston duo 7L & Esoteraeroic isn’t concerned with the glitz and the B.S. that modern consumer culture is pushing. And neither are the group’s fans. In 2013, the trio appeared relatively unassumingly with their self-titled debut, which was chiefly produced by DJ 7L and included guests ranging from Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna to Vinnie Paz, Action Bronson and Roc Marciano. The soon-to-be acclaimed group found out quickly that there was a groundswell of hip-hop fanatics thirsting for the lunchpail, lyrics-above-all-else rap they fell in love with in the ‘90s. Several pressings of the album on CD, 2-LP and even cassette later, they are back and ready to up the ante. This time around the group is the same, but it’s fair to say that all three men have stepped up their game. “We knew how we felt about the last album, but weren’t sure how it would be received by listeners,” explains MC Esoteric. “But people really responded to it, even more than we had hoped.

Vinyl 7" £8.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 8th May 2026

While we await their sophomore full-length, Di Hotel Malibu, Thee Marloes treat us to a show-stopping two-sider. The A-side, “Under the Silver Moon,” is a stone-cold two-stepper that captures both the bitter and the sweet of long-distance love, set against a breezy musical backdrop. The musicianship and production pull you in from the first snare hit, while frontwoman Natassya Sianturi’s honeyed vocals conjure vivid imagery through metaphor and prose. On the B-side, “Through the Changes” reveals the most tender side of the band’s sound. Both powerful and delicate, the song reflects on how we imagine - and grapple with - what comes after death. Natassya yearns for company and conversation with a love who has passed, at times recalling shared memories, at others questioning the act of continuing to speak to and think about them. Her delivery is so intimate it’s impossible not to feel every word, as the band provides the perfect, understated backing.

JUST IN - Fatboi Sharif & Child Actor - Crayola Circles (RHYMESAYERS)

Vinyl LP £32.99 Add to basket
CD £12.99 Add to basket

> Backwoodz Studioz is excited to announce the release of Crayola Circles, a collaboration between rapper Fatboi Sharif and producer Child Actor. While both artists have long standing connections to Backwoodz, this album marks their first collaboration of any kind and breaks new artistic ground for all parties.

Sharif’s previous album, Decay, released on Backwoodz in 2023, was a haunting experimental rap masterpiece, an acid trip in a mental hospital. On Crayola Circles Sharif trades menacing psychedelia for a simmering stew of blacklight expressionism, his verses slipping effortlessly through the swells and tides of Child Actor’s masterful production. No matter how uneasy the waves grow, Sharif is at ease, a truth teller whispering anti-riddles in your ear. This album feels like a new chamber for Child Actor, as well. The producer has been on an impressive run since dropping CINE- a collaboration with rapper Cavalier- on Backwoodz in late 2024. Child Actor has shown up in the liner notes of everyone from Navy Blue (The Sword & The Soaring) to Earl Sweatshirt (Live, Laugh, Love) to ELUCID (Revelator) to Open Mike Eagle (Neighborhood Gods Unlimited), to Ghais Guevara (A Quest to Self-Mythologize), amongst others. On Crayola Circles Child Actor’s production is dynamic, shifting and sliding into new phases and movements in an instant. The beats are full and knotty, leaning into jazz and folk, while remaining tethered to the tender minimalism that is his signature. It’s a difficult balance for any producer, and here it is executed perfectly, placing us in a world of wood and brass, cowhide and undersea piano. On any other record, this soundscape would steal the show — and it very nearly does — but Sharif’s command never wavers, ever in control; a lucid dreamer in an induced coma.

There are no guests, no skits, and no interludes. There might not even be songs, instead Crayola Circles seems akin to a great river; singular, traversing forest and jungle, mountain and valley, running from mouth to endless sea.

Tracklisting:

1. Six Figurines 2. Assassination Tapes 3. How to Disinfect a Live Grenade 4. Chemo Crystal Ball 5. Saltwater Tantrums 6. Night Terrors 7. Recognition 8. Diagnosis 9. Crayola Circles of Creativity 10. ANGER 11. Chinese Sunrise 12. Kwaidan Snowstorm 13. Leon Ichaso 14. Willow Trees 15. The Destitute Stashspot

Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman return with the latest installment in their ongoing Lice series with Miami Lice: Season 4. This time around, Aesop Rock handles all the production, balancing moody synths with drums that range from stark and heavy, to feel-good vibes with a bit of bounce. The opening track, “Who Sent You” is a great example of the latter, and serves as an excellent foreshadowing of what to expect on the EP; a blend of humor, clever writing, and an abundance of style—qualities that reach their pinnacle when the two trade bars back & forth on standout track "Burnt Mauve". Through the course of its 8 songs, this project continues to prove Aesop and Sandman sound evermore natural together and make a great pairing. Tune in for Season 4, Lice is back!

JUST IN - Gareth Donkin - Extraordinary (Drink Sum Wtr)

Solar Flare Orange Vinyl LP £22.99 Add to basket
CD £11.99 Add to basket

True to its name, Extraordinary, Gareth Donkin's second album widens the scale of his virtuosic soul-pop songcraft not just on a sonic level, but in a profoundly personal way. A step wiser and more confident, fresh off a feature on De La Soul’s new album, the London-based singer-songwriter and producer lets go of past constructs to celebrate the present tense with his most sophisticated, vast, and dazzling work to date, nodding to disco, R&B, and funk greats with playful charisma and modern sheen.

He says, "Extraordinary is about taking ownership of your life, embracing new experiences and adventure." Donkin's 2023 breakthrough debut, Welcome Home, resonated from BBC Radio to Billboard ("a soul-savant") and brought him to SXSW for the first time. Yet the season was marked by setbacks and heartbreak. First, he reached for fantasy with the cathartic Suite Escape EP. Then, in a clearer headspace, he enlisted a dream ensemble to realize his next vision, including ESME, Kiefer, UHMEER, Shaan Ramaprasad, and Disclosure's Howard Lawrence.

Donkin's made a name for himself as an old soul, one-man-band in the ilk of Prince and Stevie Wonder, often seen on socials assembling songs with mystifying ease. Like past work, Extraordinary captures this undeniable talent and charm. What sets the record apart is the expanse in which these virtues shine. "It just sounds bigger, more current,” he adds. From unifying anthems to drama-shedding declarations, Donkin unlocks the kind of optimism that can only come from hard work on yourself.

1. Out Here 2. Where Did We Go? (feat. Kiefer) 3. Never Gonna Break Your Heart 4. Sing, Everybody 5. Please Don't Give Up! 6. Imagine 7. Half Shuffle 8. Running Away 9. Play the Game (feat. UHMEER) 10. Don't Be So Hard On Yourself 11. I Need You (feat. ESME) 12. Extraordinary 13. Hello Sunrise

Vinyl LP £24.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 29th May 2026

One of the more defining features of Blues upstarts GA-20’s approach to traditional Blues music is their unwavering dedication to playing the songs they love, or as bandleader Matthew Stubbs puts it, “we play the music we would want to hear.” Those in the know have been captivated by the visceral energy the band brings to the heavy Blues arena, and the songs they choose to perform. With ORPHANS, the band has assembled a collection of Blues and Bluesadjacent tracks that fit handily within that parameter. The songs found on ORPHANS are just that – singular tunes heard only at live shows, singles released between albums, and simple favorites that the band (Stubbs, Cody Nilsen & Josh Kiggans) have been itching to lay down. And just as Blues is a tradition of borrowing, sharing and transformation, these melodies and words are similarly reinterpreted and reimagined, orphans and strays lovingly adopted and given new breath. The fan demand for a proper full length release of these songs, along with the mandate to showcase Nilsen’s vocals and auxiliary guitar mastery, are realized here in physical form.

Tracklist:
1. Cryin' & Pleadin' 2. I Love You, I Need You 3. I Don't Mind 4. Stranger Blues 5. Hold On, I'm Coming 6. My Baby Sweeter 7. Just One More Time 8. Chicken Pickin'

CD £10.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 24th July 2026

Big Crown Records is proud to present Glera, Marco Benevento’s debut album on the label. Marco Benevento has always moved like someone who understands the studio as its own instrument, not just a room where the toys are. Long before he began appearing on stages with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, and in the liner notes of albums by Clairo and Leon Bridges, Benevento was already thinking like a producer - listening for texture, tension, and negative space, and for the strange emotional alchemy that occurs when groove and curiosity collide. His new album Glera sharpens that instinct into focus, presenting Benevento not only as a virtuosic keyboardist and bandleader, but as a composer building worlds from rhythm, tone, and feeling.

Glera is a genre-bending jazz record that folds in soul and reggae’s elastic low end with an open-door sense of possibility. The project began three years ago as a kind of private exercise, with Benevento writing intuitively, inspired by Italian film scores and melody. Over time, those sketches evolved into something broader and more muscular, culminating in the grand majesty heard here. What emerges is music that moves cinematically without becoming precious. Tracks can feel like chase scenes or slow dissolves, sometimes within the same song, with jazz improvisation sharing space alongside reggae pocket, orchestral elements, and psych-pop atmosphere. It’s exploratory but grounded, complex yet unmistakably groove-forward.

Marco Benevento is operating at the highest level, shaping sound with purpose and curiosity. This album announces itself loudly—both outward-facing and deeply intimate. It’s music that moves—across genres, tempos, and registers—while remaining anchored to the joy of discovery. It’s a record that embodies motion, carrying the past forward without ever standing still.

Big Crown is proud to present the Thee Marloes’ sophomore album, Di Hotel Malibu. It arrives as a widening of the frame — a confident step away from the lines that once neatly held their sound, and toward something more porous, conversational, and deeply Indonesian. It’s been two years since Perak, the Surabaya trio’s debut for Big Crown Records, introduced their unique sound. This new record doesn’t abandon that lineage so much as stretch it, showing how much they have grown as a band since the release of their debut and all the experiences that came with it. Composed of vocalist and keyboardist Natassya Sianturi, guitarist and producer Sinatrya Dharaka and drummer Tommy Satwick, Thee Marloes have always worked as a unit, their songs shaped by shared reference points and a lived-in sense of groove. On this album, that collective language expands. The arrangements move across a broader spectrum, with new instrumental colors, unexpected rhythmic turns, and a looser approach to structure. The band describes it as a response to the last two years of living: social realities, love lives in flux, and all that success has brought into their lives.

The album opener “Under the Silver Moon” is a stone cold two-stepper that addresses the bitter and the sweet of long distance love affairs over a breezy musical backdrop. “Six Years” is a page from singer Natassya Sianturi’s life and her struggle to take the step of leaving a comfortable and stable daytime job to follow her dreams of a full time career in music. “Harap Dan Ragu” explores life, death, and the emotions that orbit them, opening with an earworm guitar riff that ushers in Sianturi’s honeyed vocals, this time in her native language of Indonesian. The album continues to switch vibes and tones track to track with the darker, more introspective “The More”. The gorgeous musicianship and pulsing drums are met with the deeply poetic lyrics that walk the line between futility and an unbreakable resilience. Thee Marloes dip into their drop dead gorgeous ballad bag with “Through The Changes” with a powerful yet delicate song about how we imagine and deal with what comes after death. “Boru” sung entirely in Batak, a traditional language from North Sumatera, goes further into asserting heritage as a foundation and mission statement for the group while “I’d Be Lost” takes us back to the dancefloor with a light and lovely profession of love. In the end, Di Hotel Malibu is the result of the best type of inspiration: the global attention Thee Marloes have earned, and the chance to play their homegrown music for fans around the world has put wind in their sails. Enjoy the record, then catch them as they tour the globe. Soul Music from Surabaya, another Big Crown Sureshot.

Gravity Freeze is the other side of the same coin in the same time frame as Electric War. Both albums were recorded simultaneously with Gravity Freeze featuring Tony Coote in the drum seat. The songs were written and recorded in the same time period, but there were songs that fell more naturally into “Little Barrie” with Gravity Freeze having a more song-based approach with a direct link to rhythm & blues whereas Electric War was more experimental.

East London producer and DJ IZCO announces his debut solo studio album ‘POWERSCROFT’, set for release on 1st May via Brownswood Recordings. The album’s first single, ‘Strike a Pose’ featuring the vocals of Camille Munn offers an early glimpse into the project. To celebrate the release, he will go on a run of UK dates from March to May, culminating at London’s Jazz Cafe.

Named after the road where he grew up, ‘POWERSCROFT’ marks a defining new chapter for an artist who has spent the past decade shaping the sound of UK dance music.

It captures what it feels like to be inside IZCO’s world, where thoughts, memories and influences collide.
