Gesloten Cirkel – Acid Puke EP [SLVMNCR011]
Gesloten Cirkel is back with a blistering new 4-track release. Known for his uncompromising sound, he dives effortlessly into stroboscopic acid with the title track and the ruthless “Heisinprison,” while delivering near-tearjerking industrialized house with the summer-tinged jams “F-unkz3” and “Breaking The Lamp.” The Acid Puke EP oozes equal parts dystopian rave energy and twisted melodic bliss. This is Gesloten Cirkel at his most focused and feral.
Mulatu Astatke – Mulatu Plays Mulatu [STRUTLP482]
Strut presents Mulatu Plays Mulatu, the first major studio album in over 10 years from the father of Ethio-jazz, Mulatu Astatke. Featuring masterful new arrangements of some of his classic compositions, Mulatu Plays Mulatu finds Mulatu revisiting the sounds that helped to change the face of Ethiopian music during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. The album was recorded between London and Addis Ababa, working with his long-standing UK band, a tight, intuitive ensemble honed through years of live performance, alongside cultural musicians resident at his Jazz Village club in Addis. Mulatu Plays Mulatu realises Mulatu’s long-term vision of Ethio-jazz, intricately balancing Western jazz arrangements with the rich sounds of traditional Ethiopian instruments including the krar, masenqo, washint, kebero and begena. Throughout the album, he reshapes familiar material with rich textures, expanded improvisations and a deepened rhythmic complexity, creating a body of work that feels as vital and contemporary as it does steeped in tradition. Familiar compositions like ‘Yekermo Sew’, ‘Netsanet’ and the celebratory ‘Kulun’ are reinvented here as elegant big band performances.

Nu Era – Electric Illusion [OMNI1206]
VA – Club Coco: New Dimensions In Latin Music [CC001]
Club Coco: New Dimensions in Latin Music compilation, curated by Coco María, marks the first release on her own label and serves as a sonic portrait of what Latin music can become when it’s guided by intuition rather than labels. Eleven tracks open the windows and cross continents as effortlessly as changing a song. Here, Neapolitan synthesizers coexist with digital cumbias, voices whisper from within the groove, and rhythms invite movement – without urgency or pretense. This selection isn’t defined by a genre but by a feeling: that of someone dancing with an open heart and keen ears. Each track is a postcard from a corner of the world, and also a love letter to rhythm and the emotions it stirs. From Bogotá to Naples, passing through Lima, Amsterdam, and New York, this compilation offers a journey where past and future brush against each other in the present moment. Club Coco doesn’t aim to define a sonic truth, but to invite listeners to discover new ways of hearing and feeling.
Franz Scala – New Look feat. Furotica [SLOMO055S4 ]
Accompanied by the illustrious Furotica, Franz Scala unveils “New Look” another shimmering tribute to “Cafe Futuro,” infused with shared Italo sleaze and Scala’s signature melodics. His chest-thumping bass lines resonate alongside iridescent synth harmonies, delving deeper into the further reaches of his sound. The twilight-toned vocals and accompanying spoken words between Argentinian Furotica and Australian Pino D ́Angelo (Boots & Legs) dance with each other beautifully. Ultimately, it culminates in a thunderous dancefloor gem, embodying the Italian Dance Wave sound through Franz’s unique proto vignette and Furotica’s dazzling charm.
Ron Hardy – Classics #01 [RDYCS1]

Here we first get ‘Welcome To The Club’ edited by Hardy and awash with jazzy Rhodes jams and super raw drums. It’s the perfect mix of soulful spirituality and effective groove. On the flip is a classic amongst classics as ‘Peaches & Prunes’ rides on rugged drums and with fat synth twangs all loops, teased and layered up to great effect.
