Recorded live at the Phoenix Central Park, Sydney, August 22nd 2024.

Berlin-based Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjö returns with the eagerly-awaited sequel to "Y-OTIS". On "Y-OTIS 2", released by We Jazz Records on July 24, Sandsjö and his close associate, bassist/producer Petter Eldh (of Koma Saxo), deepen their vision of genre-bending, forward-looking "liquid jazz" of tomorrow. The core group also includes Dan Nicholls on keys and Tilo Weber on drums, and also featured on the album are Swedish jazz greats Jonas Kullhammar (of Koma Saxo) and Per "Texas" Johansson, cellist Lucy Railton and trumpeter Ruhi-Deniz Erdogan.

Recorded live and mixed by none other than Brian Eno, 'The Surgeon…' is one of Fourth World inaugurator Hassell's most breathtaking full-lengths, capturing the physicality of his performance and matching his lopsided trumpet work with hypnotic synths and ghostly, muted percussion. If you've not jumped into his catalog before, this is the perfect starting point!

A requiem mass for drums, electronics and choir, 'The Undreamt-of Centre' is Laurence Pike's most ambitious solo album to date, pulling from Ligeti, Jon Hassell and Midori Takada in equal measure.

End Of The World Party (just in case) features producer John King of the Dust Brothers, best known for producing classics like the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique and Beck’s Odelay. MMW and King have created a brilliant and graceful album packed with melody, soundscapes and beats that defy gravity. These are theme songs for the next generation soundtracks that may accompany the end of the world in a more positive setting.

FKJ is a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist and producer with one foot in the new world and one in the old, making soulful, limitless music for a restless, genre-fluid generation. His songs blur jazz, soul, folk, rock and experimental beats with an intricacy and intimacy that puts him on a par with the likes of Tom Misch, James Blake and Jacob Collier. V I N C E N T is FKJ’s second album and signals a new dawn, not just as a go-to producer and remixer for artists like PinkPantheress but as an intriguing artist in his own right.

Imagine the cubist angles of Sun Ra’s alto saxophonist Marshall Allen fluttering in between beats, Marc Ribot on guitar, plus strings, and a percussion ensemble, and you have a glimpse into what the Dropper is about. The album organically weaves avant-garde experimentalism and hypnotic thunder music into a well-developed dropper. Witness the trio’s maturing sound metamorphize once again.

There are certain occasions when you can truly feel the stars align. One of these is when the interstellar voyager of cosmic soul Jimi Tenor finally lands his spaceship at full force on a Timmion recording. In 2024, he will be serving us a spaced out album session recorded together with Cold Diamond & Mink. Jimi is no stranger in these space ways as he has operated behind the Timmion scenes for years, furnishing several of the label's artists with his flute and reeds artistry.

Gatefold release, first time on vinyl. Released on Friday 29th March, the brilliant “Ninja Tuna” is the latest Mr. Scruff album to get a fancy makeover. Originally released as a CD in 2008 it’s now available for the first time on vinyl as a deluxe triple LP with bonus tracks, pressed on biovinyl with an “infinity peelable” tuna sticker on the cover.

Hardly a German musician has distinguished himself so consistently as an instrumentalist and songwriter by such an unmistakable musical language and has constantly evolved as well as ECHO award winner and exceptional bassist Hellmut Hattler, who has been with Kraan, Tab Two or his for nearly five decades Formation Hattler - always innovative and confidently indicating groove and sound.

Berlin-based Swedish tenor saxophonist Otis Sandsjö returns with his third album Y-OTIS TRE on We Jazz Records, February 23. Y-OTIS TRE finds Sandsjö in close collaboration with his long-time working partner and friend, bassist/producer Petter Eldh, and Dan Nicholls, the keyboardist of the Y-OTIS live band and a solo artist on his own right. Composed by the three and produced by Eldh & Sandsjö, Y-OTIS TRE lives up to its name ("tre" means three in Swedish) and stands strong in the continuum of layer-caked liquid jazz, a staple of the Eldh/Sandsjö production duo lauded for their string of releases as Y-OTIS and Koma Saxo.

The Cinematic Orchestra have announced a 20th anniversary tour & audio reissue of their seminal 2003 album “Man With A Movie Camera.” The live shows will feature songs from the album with all new visuals, celebrating the release across Europe. The 2LP limited edition comes in ashen and pewter grey coloured vinyl, housed in a rigid tip-on foiled, embossed and debossed detail gatefolded sleeve with updated artwork and new liner notes. This reissue will include 12” double sided art card insert of unseen session photography from the time.

Since its inception, producer and composer Joe Acheson has carefully developed Hidden Orchestra from a simple initial project concept of ‘an imagined orchestra’ into something that has flourished into a widespan musical universe of its own, that is truly unlike anything else.

Gainesville, FL-based composer/multi-instrumentalist Tristan Whitehill releases music under the moniker Euglossine. Whitehill envisions each Euglossine release as an outlet for a particular subset of discrete genre explorations, applying his prodigious musical training and vast depth of theory knowledge to styles as far-flung as breezy jazz fusion, technoid beat excursions, bleep-heavy modular synth sketches, and hushed acoustic guitar reveries.

A Sonic Apéritif! This auditory hors d'oeuvre spawned the album that helped start the cocktail and exotica rebirth of the '90s! It's hard to call recordings as lush and beautiful as these demos, but that's what they are. These reels preceded the band's Sub Pop debut I, Swinger, and contain early versions of most of that album along with songs you've never heard on record before!
