You might call it “black friday”, we call it massive “New Music Day!” – new hits from Paper & Places, Abdullah Ibrahim, Silly Walks Discotheque, Shearwater and many more!
Abdullah Ibrahim – Mukashi
(intuition)
Jazz
Abdullah Ibrahim created his own, inimitable style, which Konrad Heidkamp (DIE ZEIT) described once as follows: Ibrahim is “a magician of repetition, and a complete landscape is behind every tone.” This enchanting power blossomed in every recording, regardless of whether as soloist, in duet (the 1978 album with Archie Shepp is legendary), with his band Ekaya, with big band and even with orchestral accompaniment. However, hearing him in a small group remains the most intensive experience.

Graze – Edges
(New Kanada)
Techno
Despite the skin-skimming name, Graze sink in deep. Fusing techno, garage, and the broken rhythms of contemporary bass, their eight-track full length LP rattles the ribcage – with a bittersweet bent.
Jay Daniel – Scorpio Rising
(Sound Signature)
House / Techno
First release from an up and coming Detroit local on Theo Parrish’s label.
Phil Weeks – My Way
(Robsoul)
Deep House
My Way is the sixth installment of limited edition vinyl EPs released by Phil Weeks. The song shows a style that Phil has become famous for, with his own unmistakable, lazy Parisian vocal laid over a relentlessly driving and sleazy groove. In the same way that Hypnose (with it’s “Yeah I like that” vocal) and All Day Every Day (which topped Beatport’s House chart in 2010) connected so well with DJs and clubbers, My Way looks set to have the same impact.
