Zoo Brazil - Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 21
£9.00
The latest volume in Shir Khan's party-starting Black Jukebox series - the 21st in total - comes from John Andersson AKA Zoo Brazil, a producer whose discography stretches right back to the turn of the Millennium. As you'd expect, all four tracks are chunky, funky, loopy and floor-friendly, with the long-serving Swede crafting bumping bangers out of choice disco loops. Some will note the influence of DJ Sneak on swinging filter disco bumper "Around and Around", while the brilliant "Hyper" makes merry with samples from what appears to be an obscure, boogie-era electrofunk jam. Elsewhere, "Alright" is a rolling workout built around a prominent guitar loop, while "Complicated" is a slightly deeper and dubbier disco-house jam.

Declaime and Madlib in the beginning VOL 2 LP
£30.00
Visit product page →In the Beginning Vol. 2 continues the treasure trove of the early works of Declaime & Madlib, the longtime collaborators who helped usher in a new sound and style from the city of Oxnard, California.
This collection is brimming with previously unheard tracks from this beyond-creative duo that blends hip-hop with funk, jazz, soul, and psychedelia to lay the groundwork for so many other emcees and producers. For Declaime (a/k/a Dudley Perkins), this series serves as a way to honour his friends and the city that raised them. He shouts out names like The Almighty Metaphor (aka MED), Oh No the Disrupt, DJ Romes, Kazi, and more, who he says “created a lane for the city of Oxnard to get the recognition it deserves.” Some of them make an appearance in one form or another on this collection, too—Romes, for example, mastered the project—that compiles 10 previously lost tracks that were recorded from 1993 to ‘96.
In The Beginning Vol. 2 is entirely produced by Madlib, who provided all the cuts as well. His instrumentals are on that raw and dusty vibe as they move freely through genres and sounds, like on standout cuts “Bandwagon,”WLIX,” and “Signs (feat. Wildchild).” Those are all highlights for Declaime, too, and they demonstrate his ability to blend his observations of the world with bravado and third-eye insights. Even as young kids just getting their feet wet in the studio, these two were firmly on their path.

Tool - Lateralus 2xLP limited edition
Sold out
Visit product page →Lateralus is the third studio album by Tool originally released on May 15, 2001. By the release of Tool's third album, the band had moved far past sub-three-minute songs with in-your-face lyrics, like 1992's anti-censorship quick hit Hush. By contrast, Lateralus' nine-and-a-half-minute title track is based, both in its time...

Hoffa Dave East and Harry Fraud
£35.00
Visit product page →It’s likely that Dave East was both ready and willing to lock in for a full-length Harry Fraud produced album well before he heard Fraud’s work with Jim Jones (The Fraud Department) and Benny the Butcher (The Plugs I Met 2). But it’s just as likely that the synergy and flawless execution of those projects couldn’t have hurt East’s inclination.
Fraud shows up for East on Hoffa the same way he did for Jones and Benny, finding a sturdy balance between moody synth lines, obscure rock samples, and ’90s-hip-hop drum patterns to act as an idyllic backdrop for East’s hand-to-hand street-life memories, basketball references, and straight-faced acknowledgment of the way drugs have affected his own family.
Fellow barsmiths Jim Jones, G Herbo, Benny the Butcher, and Curren$y round out the features, but longtime Dave East fans might be most excited to hear a new verse from Kiing Shooter, the Queens-hailing Dave East associate who passed away in 2020 following complications from COVID-19.
