NOOD5 features contributions from six friends of the Noods family, consisting of Berlin based techno iconoclast Ossia, shadowy Bristol producer fresh from a highly acclaimed EP on Berceuse Heroique, Pessimist, Timedance affiliate Cleyra, Milanese sound experimentalist Katatonic Silentio, Rio underground lynchpin and RBMA graduate Valesuchi and a collaboration from Dekmantel’s Epsilove and the elusive Ployer Fower.The record is a confident assertion of the station’s sonic ethos; filled with tense, dread-laden soundscapes that foreground the percussion and sub bass. Reverbs and delays are utilised in the true dub tradition, wringing out unconventional grooves from the negative space between the drums: it’s music for the head and the body.Originally intended to be released on our fifth birthday hence the name, fuck it — the pandemic slowed much down so have it on our sixth birthday instead.

Extra Soul Perception is a collaboration and community music platform which started life between the UK, Kenya and Uganda, and continuing to grow and connect independent musicians worldwide. In November 2019, eight artists from Kenya, Uganda and the UK spent a week in Nairobi together exploring new tangents in soul music, the result was their 2020 debut EP ‘New Tangents In Kampala, London & Nairobi Vol. 1’.The collective was made up of Faizal Mostrixx (UG), Hibotep (UG), K15 (UK), Karun (KE), Labdi (KE), Lex Amor (UK), Lynda Dawn (UK) and Maxwell Owen (UK). Now with the with the addition of Itsmdnyt (UG), XL Middleton (US), Xenia Menasseh (KE), Sola and Azu Tiwaline (TUN), the collective are preparing to release their album ‘New Tangents in Kampala, London and Nairobi’, released 25th March.Having started life in 2019 at a writing camp in Nairobi, the album was completed remotely over course of the worldwide lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Innovators in their own fields, each artist brings unique knowledge and musical culture to the project. Collectively they represent a broad spectrum of sound, each with a unique understanding of the power of soul music in its many forms. The album reflects this via an inspiring mixture of beautiful soul, glitchy beats, spoken word and bumping instrumentals.

Mndsgn, pronounced ‘mind design’, is the stage name of experimental hip-hop artist Ringgo Ancheta. Gaining notoriety after his collaboration with Danny Brown on ‘Sweeney Song’, Mndsgn released his first solo album, entitled Breatharian, on the Fresh Selects imprint back in 2013. He has released a subsequent three follow up albums on Stones Throw Records (one of the labels affiliated with J Dilla before his death in 2006). His latest album, SNAX, makes for easy and laid-back listening, a soulful blend of muted jazz and hip hop inspired beats played out under positive refrains like ‘I got da vibe’.

Disco Segreta brings a true obscure gem to italo-disco die-hard fans !For the first time ever on a 12” release, Patrizia Saronni’s “E poi” and “Perché Dovrei”, only previously released as a 45 for the tiny Pongo label back in 1984.“E poi” is a female-voiced tearjerker sung over a heart-melting italo-electro-synth line, while “Perché Dovrei” is a power synth-pop-talo rebellion anthem. But the most wonderful discovery has been that of an unreleased alternate version of “E Poi” that didn’t make the original release, which sounds crafted exactly for today’s dance floors. Repress is officially licensed and dubbed from the actual analog masters. Limited edition black vinyl !
