Hans-Joachim Roedelius is one of the forefathers of cosmic music and “Krautrock”. He is a pioneer and luminary in the history of 20th-century ambient and electronic music, and has been named as an influencer on their musical output by stars like David Bowie and Brian Eno. With his bands Cluster and Harmonica, Roedelius played a major role in the development of these movements in the 1960s and 70s.

On the three CDs are numerous dance and clubtracks. As a special treat this time the third CD is revealed. Charming Horses have conjured up a fantastic summer DJ mix. If you are looking for a great compilation to get you musically through the summer, you should take a look at the Club Sounds Summer 2017.

The brand new single Do not Want You Back by Bakermat feat. Kiesza makes the opener. The German Deep House act Charming Horses was allowed to take the third and final CD under his wing and conjure a DJ mix here.

In a consistently colourful musical career that spans nearly four decades, Willie Nile has established a reputation as a world-class rock 'n' roller, and as a singular songwriter with deep roots in rock's rich history. So it's not surprising that he'd choose to tip his hat to one of his most enduring musical inspirations with his eleventh studio album, Positively Bob: Willie Nile Sings Bob Dylan, a heartfelt, personally charged set of Dylan covers that honours its subject while exemplifying the same qualities that have distinguished Nile's work since the beginning.

Purple Rain remains one of history’s most important, indisputable, and influential albums, but you’ve never heard it like this before. Purple Rain Deluxe boasts the official 2015 Paisley Park Remaster of the original tapes overseen by Prince himself in addition to a new “From The Vault & Previously Unreleased” disc with 11 unheard gems from the storied vault. This is Prince’s final word on his definitive masterpiece.

The Birmingham/Nashville-based group's second full-length has one foot firmly planted in reality as the other tip-toes in and out of mental complexities, self-perception and altered-state illusions. The results are revealing, exhilarating and profound. With the rugged power of a flashy Super Chief locomotive, the Banditos's bodaciously appropriates elements of '60s blues-fused acid rock, ZZ Top's jangly boogie, garage punk scuzz a la Burger Records, the Drive-By Truckers' yawp, the populist choogle of CCR, Slim Harpo's hip shake baby groove, gut bucket Fat Possum hill country mojo and the Georgia Motherf*king Satellites. From backwoods bluegrass, to slinky nods to Muscle Shoals soul and unexpected bits of doo-wop sweetness, the Banditos recall many, but sound like no one but themselves.

Fronted by the affable, spectacled Jordan Hudkins, Rozwell Kid write massive, gritty, excitable power-punk songs. After more than two years on the road, the band, completed by guitarist Adam Meisterhans, bassist/vocalist Devin Donnelly and drummer Sean Hallock, hadn't quite hit a dead end, but they needed to regroup, rethink and re-find their identity. All of those questions are thankfully answered by the twelve songs that make up Precious Art. It is a quintessential Rozwell Kid album and something entirely new at the same time.

Jyrki 69, lead vocalist for Helsinki's darkest and deadliest goth metal band THE 69 EYES, will release his first-ever solo album on June 23 via Cleopatra Records. The disc, titled "Helsinki Vampire", builds on the distinctive "goth 'n' roll" sound that THE 69 EYES honed over the course of a dozen albums (millions of units sold collectively worldwide) while adding a more richly textured, darkly romantic atmosphere. Jyrki's vocals, which have always been crucial to the band's success, are as exceptional as ever on the new solo venture, a captivating baritone croon that evokes both Jim Morrison and Glenn Danzig. Since the entire album has been produced, mixed, and mastered by longtime THE 69 EYES producer Johnny Lee Michaels, fans will find this album to be closer to the band's classic sound. This is pure "goth 'n' roll" from Helsinki as we all know it! Several of the tracks from "Helsinki Vampire" have already been picked up for use in upcoming movies, including the horror film "Sunset Society" (starring Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD) and "Halloween Hell House" (starring "21 Jump Street"'s Richard Grieco and the voice of MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine.

This carefully crafted collection features 5 CDs and lasts well over 5 hours ensuring that there’s something here for everyone. So loosen your school tie and reminisce to the soundtrack that shaped your generation…this is 70s School Days The Ultimate Collection. This excellent collection of 100 classic tracks is exactly how remember my radio growing up in the 70s. There are one or two that rather never hear again, but on the whole, this is one fantastic trip down memory lane, when singers could sing and musicians were talented people and not computers.

The legendary Minneapolis new-wave and punk band The Suburbs, still led by founding members Chan Poling and Hugo Klaers, has spent the past few years building up its live sound with some of the fiercest players in the Twin Cities. Newly bolstered by the addition of the gifted guitarist Jeremy Ylvisaker (Andrew Bird, Alpha Consumer). The group is still tethered to the underground sounds that shaped it in the '80s and spawned the breakout single ""Love Is The Law,"" but its sound is darker, more refined and more pop-oriented than ever.

The Deslondes are a five-piece band from New Orleans. In the time between the release of their self-titled debut and new sophomore album, Hurry Home, The Deslondes have toured the world and drawn critical acclaim for their studied and inventive take on New Orleans country and R&B. Hurry Home represents a sonic shift from the country-folk of their debut to a sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound, with a stronger emphasis on organ and electric guitar.

A concept album to end all concepts, Murder Of The Universe is the new collection by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Murder Of The Universe is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet….the murder of the whole goddamn universe. A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct chapters that rise from larval beds, and whose lyrics should be carved in stone, squeezed from moss, discovered in ancient runes. And all the while a passing cast of characters imbue the tale with both human and non-human emotions.

Musically encapsulating the summertime is something that’s held musicians’ rapt for decades. To some an art form, to others something approaching a science even, but to Roger Shah, it’s more like a calling. In his career that purpose has manifested in many forms. None have been more steadfast and successful than his ‘Magic Island: Music For Balearic People’ compilation series though. With the same certainty that May turns to June, Roger’s yearly Balearic dispatch tells us that summer’s well and truly arrived. The eighth in the halcyon series sees him team up with Magic Island music makers, both new and established. Its tracklist sees familiar names abound, with fresh compositions from the likes of Brian Laruso, Raul Pablo Sanchez, Dirkie Coetzee, Pierre Pienaar and David Broaders all featuring. Equally quick to MI8’s discs are newer bloods, including music from trance souls like Bilal El Aly, Mark Norman and Rene Ablaze.

Camo & Krooked are back with their new album “Mosaik”, the follow up to 2013’s critically acclaimed “Zeitgeist”. Their most recent double A-Side “Good Times Bad Times” and “Honesty” represent the new album as an ambitious project, featuring a host of skilled session musicians and industry professionals such as Simon Brittons, who's famously worked alongside Kool & The Gang, Eminem, Usher and Jimmy Cliff.

Mieczyslaw Karlowicz (1876-1909) was born in Lithuania, and raised by his father Jan, who was a great humanist. He was perfectly educated abroad especially in Berlin, as well as in Warsaw. Closely connected with Warsaw thanks to his place of residence and education, in Zakopane he found a second home. He wrote a bit more than twenty songs, five symphonic poems, one unfinished symphony, and a violin concerto before his life was taken by an avalanche.
