RepressByron the Aquarius (aka Byron Blaylock), an accomplished keys player as much as he is a producer, has a deep love for the organic side of music. This shines through in his creations, back to his debut EP in 2007. More recently, Blaylock's skillful jazz beats have found a home on the one and only Jeff Mills' Axis Records. From his birthplace in Birmingham Alabama, Blaylock has grown into an international figure of acclaim for his explorative compositions.Already having two successful EPs with Shall Not Fade under his belt - most recently marking the labels' 50th release with What Up Doe? Vol.2 - Byron the Aquarius returns for a gorgeous double LP. Expect the smoothness of deep house, melodic instrumental hip hop production of the J Dilla creed along with tight jazz pieces.The New Beginning LP showcases range and expertise from the off, exploding with pulsing discordant jazz in "Amaya's Voyage". Psychedelic g-funk is the MO of "Smoke One For Huckaby", before a B-side milieu of jazz and hip hop reminiscent of Guru's Jazzmatazz. The album settles into a deep groove across its C-side, the highlight of which is the percussive workout of "Underground Was Black", complemented delicately with dazed pads and buoyant but smokey lounge jazz sounds in "Cosmic Jazz". Off kilter hip hop shines through in "Last Time We Gonna Do This" and its eclectic sound palette, then we are blindsided by the heavy electro distortion of "The End Of The World". The record closes with a collaboration of the genres explored throughout, pieced together into the pumping "Lost People of Tron". The album feels like a lap of honour around all the influences in Byron The Aquarius' sound - it's yet another artistic triumph.

When it was released in 1977, Pharoah Sanders' "Pharoah" album was panned by critics, yet these days is rightly considered a spiritual jazz classic. While the vocal number that opens the second side, "Love Will Find A Way", doesn't quite land, the two other lengthy compositions are Sanders at his mercurial, spiritual best. This is best exemplified by the outstanding A-side track "Harvest Time", a 20 minute exploration of spiritual jazz's outer reaches that gradually builds in waves and includes brilliant use of the droning tones of the little-used Harmonium. It feels exotic, hypnotic and deeply spiritual, just like the contemporaneous work of his friend Alice Coltrane. The album is worth picking up for this side-long track alone.

500 copies only ! This belated 7" record pressing brings you a cinematic collaboration between Andy Crofts and french musical genius Christophe Vaillant of Le SuperHomard. Forevermore is a simple love song of devotion. A person who will forever devote their life, heart and soul to the one they love. Christophe’s musical soundscape lays the perfect foundation for Andy’s minimal heartfelt words. I’m Dreaming is the perfect song for the flip complimenting side A with it’s raw vocal and piano. Dreaming offers words of escape, hope and self sanctuary in a world on fire.
