Something About April III (SAA III), Adrian Younge pushes the musical franchise forward with fearless conviction, surpassing it's predecessors as an essential piece in today's vinyl culture. \"Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn't have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers' perspective, it's the album I've been diggin' for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.\" Throughout the years, Younge has earned the title of America's black genius: a master at reviving the lost art of analog recording in a digital world. The Emmy-award winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and orchestrator has received comparisons to the finest works of Ennio Morricone as well as The Beatles relentless pursuit for sonic innovation. The Something About April collection has stood the test of time for contemporary vinyl enthusiasts and producers, being sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent and more. With so much experimentation, SAA III is Younge's boldest journey into the unknown, drawing from the heritage of this heavily sampled collection to shape the future of his legacy.Emboldened by the success of SAA I and II, Younge closes the trilogy with grander compositions for his uniquely inspired vinyl collecting audience. As the proceeding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, part 3 does the same, but with a bold twist: Brazilian Psychedelica!Inspired by the great Brazilian records of the '60s and '70s, Younge records an all-Brazilian choir of vocalists, hand-picked by the Grammy-award winning Brazilian composer, Céu. Songs like \"Nunca Estranhos\" and \"O Som Do Amor\" highlight the talented vocalists over fuzzed out drum breaks and complexed orchestral arrangements akin to Arthur Verocai's eponymously album in '72. \"Nossas Sombras\" takes listeners back to a time when groups like Os Mutantes and Antonio Adolfo \u0026amp; A Brazuca pioneered mind-blowing sounds for Brazilian counterculture. Others such as \"A Minha Fantasia\" and \"Esperando Por Você\" evoke the essence of Brazilian soul singers Tim Maia and Cassiano, as if they were sampled by Rza for an unreleased Wu-tang album from the '90s. This album will surely be studied for years as a treasured gem for producers and collectors alike, surpassing it's former as the holy grail in Younge's canon.With SAA III, Younge seals his legacy as America's Black genius; a pioneer in modern sound and composition, challenging the sonic audacity of his Something About April collection in the most beautiful way.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526578147413,"sku":"617308086539","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/adrian-younge-adrian-younge-presents-something-about-april-iii-9528577.jpg?v=1779844266"},{"product_id":"adrian-younge-jack-waterson-instrumentals","title":"Adrian Younge - Jack Waterson Instrumentals","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.

The creative relationship they have questions the social order of the United States, yet theirs is a quintessentially American Story: Kindred spirits. Punk rock and hip hop came from the same place, fueled by identical sentiments: people taking the music back, reclaiming it, and finding a new audience. Waterson, primed from the mid-70s Punk scene, began his musical career in '79 as a founding member of Green on Red. They inspired artists as diverse as My Bloody Valentine, Wilco and Mazzy Star with their records and psychedelic palette. Years later, Waterson continued his influential journey by opening the revered musical instrument store, Future Music, a Los Angeles staple. In '99, an 18 year-old Younge realized that he wanted to create music that sounded like the records he was sampling. Unbeknownst to him, he serendipitously wandered into Future Music. It's there, he realized his dream was possible. During these years, Waterson schooled Younge on psych and art rock; Younge returned the favor by schooling him on Hip Hop, the origins of sampling, and it's source music. Together this unlikely duo manifested new revolutionary worlds with Waterson appearing on every Younge album within the last decade.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526578540629,"sku":"856040005921","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/adrian-younge-jack-waterson-instrumentals-3957038.jpg?v=1779844266"},{"product_id":"altin-gun-ask","title":"Altin Gun - Ask","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release.

The trio called on some of their closest friends and collaborators, BadBadNotGood touring member Felix Fox-Pappas (keys) and a few key-players in the Toronto jazz scene including Kaelin Murphy (trumpet), Juan Carlos Medrano (percussion) and LA musician Tyler Lott (guitar), for an intensive and productive one-week of recording at Valentine Studios in Los Angeles in February 2024. The result of those sessions is the Mid Spiral series, originally released as 3 parts - Chaos, Order and Growth - digitally earlier this year and now collected altogether on a double LP and CD. The Mid Spiral suites see BadBadNotGood return to their roots of instrumental jazz while once again pushing the boundaries of how they cross pollinate genres, incorporating their love of hip-hop, neo-soul, psychedelic, funk and more. For the sessions, the trio incorporated additional musicians to add more voices of instrumentation, resulting in a deeply collaborative and expansive new sound.

It continues the mystery and sanctity that is the key to how bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, drummer Donald \"DJ\" Johnson, Jr. And guitarist Mark \"Marko\" Speer approach music. If 2020's Mordechai, the last studio LP Khruangbin made without collaborators, was a party record that enhanced the band's musical reputation far and wide, then A La Sala is the measured morning after. It's a gorgeously airy record completed only in the company of the group's longtime engineer Steve Christensen, with minimal overdubs. It's a window onto the bounties powering Khruangbin's vision, a reimagining and refueling for the long haul ahead. A La Sala scales Khruangbin down to scale up, a creative strategy with the future in mind.The trio's collective musical DNA, the years spent constructing it in Houston's local-meets-global cultural stew, ensures the band continues to sound like no one but itself. A cascade of crisp melodies emanates from Marko's reverb-heavy electric, dancing gently around Laura Lee's minimalist almost-dub bass triangles, while DJ's drums serve as the tightened-up pocket and unwavering dance-floor on which all this movement takes place. Yet there's a freshness to A La Sala's instrumental interactivity, less concerned with getting further out than going deeper in, a profound desire to celebrate the world's external wonders. Where prior albums strived towards music's polyglot edges, such inquiries now sound like beloved intimacies. Here, Khruangbin's sonic touch-points - whether spaghetti-western film scores (on \"Fifteen Fifty-Three\"), West African discos (on \"Pon Pón\"), G-funk fantasias (\"Todavía Viva\"), living room dancing moments (the first single, \"A Love International\"), or even ambient found-sounds (on \"Farolim de Felgueiras and throughout the album\") - are ingrained characteristics. This is who they are! Unique and huge (and growing), ambitious and driven.Khruangbin's aspirations and commitment to playful creativity even extends to A La Sala's vinyl packages, of which there will be seven distinctive covers and color-sets. Designed by the band using Marko's multitude of travelog photos, the images are windows from the band's living room onto a set of daydreams, scenes of impossible skies, external glances that illuminate what is going on inside.

In addition to tracking the album to analog tape, Michels contributed keyboards and his trademark horn arrangements.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526682447957,"sku":"880882458416","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/chicano-batman-freedom-is-free-5534182.jpg?v=1779843667"},{"product_id":"toro-khruangbin-y-moi-live-at-the-fillmore-miami","title":"Toro Khruangbin \/ Y Moi - Live at the Fillmore Miami","description":"It's only fitting that Khruangbin's first-ever official live releases would be albums paired with their tourmates: artists whose music they love and admire, friends who've become family along the way.

His legacy and impact are hard to overstate. Ali's sound merged his much-loved traditional Malian musical styles with distinct elements of the blues, singing in the local languages of Fulfulde, Tamasheq, Songhay and Bambara. The result was the creation of a groundbreaking new genre, now well known as the 'desert blues', earning him three Grammy awards, widespread reverence and the nickname of the 'African John Lee Hooker'.Though he transcended in 2006, Ali's musical legacy lives on through his son, Vieux aka \"the Hendrix of the Sahara,\" an accomplished guitarist and champion of Malian music in his own right. On Ali, his collaborative album with Khruangbin, Vieux pays homage to his father by recreating some of his most resonant work, putting new twists on it while maintaining the original's integrity. The result is a rightful ode to a legend.Ali isn't just a greatest hits compilation. It's a lullaby, a remembrance of Ali's life through known highlights and B-sides from his catalog. It is a testament to what happens when creativity is approached through open arms and open hearts. \"To me, music is magic, it is spontaneous, it is the energy between people,\" Vieux says. \"I think Khruangbin understands this very well.\"The genesis of the album dates back to 2019, when Khruangbin, coming off their breakthrough album Con Todo el Mundo, was beginning to play to bigger crowds. The record was finished in 2021, as a global pandemic shuttered businesses and forced us to take stock of what Earth was becoming. Indirectly, Ali captures this as a moment of peace within a raging storm, a conversation between past and present without allegiance to suffering. Now, given Khruangbin's reach as a unit with legions of fans (including the likes of Jay-Z and Paul McCartney), they're poised to bring Malian music to broader groups of listeners.Ali is a masterful work in which the love surrounding it is just as vital as the music itself, driving it to unforeseen places; Vieux and Khruangbin are spreading the good word to a completely new generation. \"I hope it takes them somewhere new, or puts them in a place they haven't felt or heard,\" Lee says. \"It is about the love of new friendship and making something beautiful together,\" Vieux continues. \"It is about pouring your love into something old to make it new again. In the end and in a word it is love, that's all.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526704140373,"sku":"656605157443","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/vieux-farka-toure-khruangbin-ali-2973944.jpg?v=1779843606"},{"product_id":"cortex-inedit","title":"Cortex - Inedit","description":"CORTEX - INEDIT","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526708727893,"sku":"2999999110877","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/cortex-inedit-9147053.jpg?v=1779843548"},{"product_id":"earth-wind-fire-best-of-earth-wind-fire-1","title":"Earth Wind \u0026 Fire - Best of Earth Wind \u0026 Fire 1","description":"The Best of Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire, Vol. 1 is a 1978 compilation album collecting the charting singles of Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire.

The music could score a romantic drama, an action thriller, or a modern twist on a classic film noir. The spare, cascading vocals accentuate the lush instrumental orchestrations composed, performed, arranged and produced by multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, whose latest brainchild was conceived and conceptualized during The Great Pause of 2020, a time of tension, bewilderment and isolation. Evoking the grooviness of an era which preceded his arrival on earth, Applebaum draws upon sonic devices of mid-century exotica and the succinct but dense arranging style of the leaders of the pop orchestras which dominated the hit parades of the 60s and early 70s. He blends impressions of this bygone era with an expression of his actual experiences as a young filmmaker coming of age in the 21st century, citing influences such as Sharon Jones \u0026amp; The Dap Kings and Antibalas. A New Kind of Love encompasses a reverence for the past without attempting to recreate it. In the tradition of the \"production forward\" discographies of such record makers as David Axelrod and the Mizell Brothers, it's easy to visualize Applebaum as a \"mad doctor\" figure, hunkered down in a studio channeling this musical representation of his inner world into the 12 compositions which make up A New Kind of Love. His writing stretches his psyche to explore a terrain in which to capture emotional notes of love going well, love gone sour, manifesting love songs based in ghostly affairs. While the studio is obviously a wondrous happy place of experimentation and creativity for Applebaum, he's a band guy too (having actually fronted punk outfit The Mad Doctors). Applebaum has the wherewithal to bring his dreamy material to the 10 piece all star Ghost Funk Orchestra, leading them to breathe life into this sophisticated body of work which heralds the celebration of a new era for the group. Ghost Funk Orchestra will be touring in concert this summer and fall to celebrate the release of A New Kind of Love, an album which is sure to stand the test of time.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526822203477,"sku":"674862659609","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/ghost-funk-orchestra-new-kinf-of-love-7660356.jpg?v=1779843066"},{"product_id":"mother-earth-stoned-woman","title":"Mother Earth - Stoned Woman","description":"Acid Jazz is marking it's 35th Anniversary with a series of classic releases from their catalog.

While magnetic singer and lyricist Sam York and guitarist and principal sonic architect Vince McClelland (who both played together as members of the meteoric yet shortlived NYC post-punk outfit WALL) take an almost anarchic approach to songwriting, Drew Citron, on synth and bass, and drummer\/producer Scott Rosenthal (both previously of Brooklyn indie-pop favorites Beverly) bring a more traditional, pop sensibility to the table. These contrasting styles challenge and complement each other, resulting in a sound that is full of spiraling and exhilarating tensions. Lyrically, York explores the complexities and contradictions of modern life overtop grooves and choruses that disarmingly open up the doors to self-reflection. \"You don't want to live a lie \/ But it's easy \/ Your house is important \/ Your car is important \/ Your shoes are important \/ Dinner's important\" she sings on \"Compromised,\" begging the question: how does one balance material desires with the desire to be seen as a good person? Changing pace, the supremely groovy \"My Head\" is about tuning out the influx of external noise and staying true to your inner creative force. But whether they are poking holes in commonly held ideas centered around relationships, creativity, or capitalism, Public Practice never lose sight of the fact that they want to have fun, and they want you to have fun too.

Young-Holt Unlimited, was a U.S. soul and jazz instrumental musical ensemble from Chicago. Their album Born Again is a perfect reflection of it's time - which does not mean it sounds dated. This is early 1971 in the aftermath of the summers of love and hate, the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the height of the Vietnam War. Young-Holt Unlimited wanted to lay out a music that brought people together at a very tense juncture and offer a more spiritual vibe form which to groove according to Brother Isaac \u0026amp; Holt's liner notes. The album opens with a swinging version of \"I'll Be There\" The groove is up-tempo, slippery and almost gospel in intent, it's simply breathtaking. Likewise, an extended version of George Harrison's \"Something\" is a blissed-out mind-bender. Other covers, such as \"We've Only Just Begun\" and Bread's \"Make It With You\" sound like paeans to reconciliation and brotherhood as much as they do love songs. The tempos are breezy, the textural production elements - by the murky and mysterious Saturday Night Music Inc. Brain trust - swirl and shimmer through the mixes. If Young and Holt wanted to put something across that offered people an opportunity to agree on something, that something was groove, and a spiritual groove to boot. It's positive, mood altering, thought-provoking and butt-shaking. Born Again is a winner on all counts.

Yin Yin's dazzling second album dives even deeper into dancefloor propulsion and space travel atmospherics than their lauded debut The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers (2019). The beautiful, old and somewhat staid city of Maastricht, where the band is based, isn't really conducive to setting up a bustling music scene: and it's a place where the outsiders quickly recognize each other. Yin Yin are all \"nightlife people\", which meant their friendship initially came about through co-organizing and deejaying DIY parties. Things started to move for real when Yves Lennertz and Kees Berkers decided to make a cassette tape that drew on references to Southern and South East Asian music. Once the idea was formed, Lennertz and Berkers wasted no time in taking \"a lot\" of instruments to a rented rehearsal room in a small village near Maastricht. They asked friends to help out, and they became a full band: with Remy Scheren on bass, Robbert Verwijlen on keys and Jerome Cardynaals, and Gino Bombrini on percussion. A \"united against the world\" stance is also heard at the end of \"Declined by Universe\". It's a funny, maybe surreptitious statement of belief in what they do. Yin Yin also wanted to create an illusion of strength in other ways: \"Declined By Universe\" sounds as if there is a large group of people playing, not just the core band. Nods to brilliant, invigorating dance music abound, some of the thumping beats in numbers like \"Chong Wang\" the title track and \"Nautilus\" drop some thumping 1990s-style electric boogie and Italo disco chops along the way. Then there is \"Shenzou V.\", which plots a stately course between eastern-inflected pop music, Italo, and Harmonia-style electronic meditations. The expansive richness in sound and feel may be down to the fact that more samples, drum computers, and synthesizers are used on The Age of Aquarius than in their previous records, a process that intertwines with real-time playing in the studio. \"Faiyadansu\", for example, started with a sample found on an old traditional Japanese koto record. Cosmic appropriations of time also crop up in the titles, which may give the lie to some of the band members' preoccupations with the state of the world. An old trope musically the Age is most famously referenced in the hippie musical, Hair. Other direct references to cosmic times are in the track names \"Kali Yuga\" and \"Satya Yuga\": the Kali Yuga, in Hinduism, is the fourth and worst of the four yugas (world ages) in a Yuga Cycle, preceded by Dvapara Yuga and followed by the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528021381205,"sku":"4030433612415","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/yin-yin-age-of-aquarius-4292452.jpg?v=1779840786"},{"product_id":"yin-yin-mount-matsu","title":"Yin Yin - Mount Matsu","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528021479509,"sku":"4030433614716","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/yin-yin-mount-matsu-3634209.jpg?v=1780190406"},{"product_id":"yin-yin-yatta","title":"Yin Yin - Yatta","description":"Yin Yin - YATTA","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528021938261,"sku":"4030433618110","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/yin-yin-yatta-2710268.jpg?v=1779840785"},{"product_id":"glass-beams-mahal","title":"Glass Beams - Mahal","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.
