Desire II

Debut solo album from Bryan Ferry's saxphonist & keyboardist Jorja Chalmers. Deep, dreamy and intoxicating exploration of Bowie and Eno's Low, while her vocal reflects early Laurie Anderson alongside the troubled smoke of Badalamenti’s score for Lost Highway, & the impeding doom of Goblin. Self-recorded and produced by Chalmers with mixing by Johnny Jewel and Dean Hurley. A perfect addition to the Italians Do It Better family!

Johnny Jewel releases the conceptual, 'Digital Rain' - his latest album on Italians Do It Better. He's also known for his extensive collaborations with film makers David Lynch and Nicolas Winding Refn as well as for his work with groundbreaking pop and synth groups such as Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Desire.

Gatefold sleeve w/ pink champagne coloured vinyl.

KONK were formed in New York in 1980. They played an important part in the link between New York’s Disco scene (Paradise Garage/Loft/Gallery etc) and the New York No Wave/Post-Punk scene (Liquid Liquid, ESG, James White etc). KONK’s pioneering interest in electronic and musical technology also put them at the forefront of the burgeoning worlds of Electro/Hip-Hop and House. Their use of DJ mixes (breaking down a track to it’s individual elements) predated the arrival of samplers and enabled DJs such as Larry Levan to extend their mixes to up to 25 minutes! At the same time KONK would just as likely find themselves on a Bronx mix-tape alongside Bambaata’s "Planet Rock" and Mantronix "Put the Needle to the Groove" with Break-dancing and Body-popping being a regular feature at their live gigs (check out the live version of "Baby Dee"). This compilation brings together the classic KONK recordings in the 1980s from their releases on labels as diverse as Rough Trade, Sleeping Bag, 99 Records, Les Disques Du Crepuscle and Celluloid. As well as being a key group in New York’s Post-Punk dance scene where they regularly played alongside groups such as Liquid Liquid, Bush Tetras, ESG, The Peech Boys and The Lounge Lizards, KONK found favour with DJs such as David Mancuso and the legendary Larry Levan and were one of a select few bands to play at both the Paradise Garage and the Loft. KONK featured in it’s line up members of Jean Michel Basquiat’s band Gray, Sonic Youth and members of Glenn Branca’s ensemble. Founding member Dana Vlcek later went on to work with Francois Kervorkian. KONK were first featured on Soul Jazz Records’ earlier New York Noise alongside Arthur Russell, ESG and Liquid Liquid. This compilation makes available KONK’s left-field Disco classics (many for the first time in twenty years!)

Awesome trippy slow pulsing space jazz with electronics, spacey vocals, and Indian percussion!

This is a great reisue of a little known Don Cherry album that was recorded in collaboration with Indian master percussionist Latif Khan. Recorded in 1978 and released in the early eighties on a small European label, this is the nearest thing to a follow-up to Don Cherry's essential Brown Rice album. Like that album, it fuses cosmic electronics, hypnotic percussion, and spacey vocals to create a kind of forward-looking worldbeat jazz that sounds fresher than ever!

Very highly recommended!

This is the debut album from one of dubstep's most exciting artists, Silkie on Deep Medi Musik! Hailing from west London, 'City Limits Volume One' is a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion. Deep Medi is the burgeoning stable of dubstep pioneer, Mala (Digital Mystikz/DMZ). The combination of impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes on 'City Limits Volume One' have made Silkie and his Anti Social Entertainment camp mainstays of the biggest and most influential venues in dubstep, like Fwd>>, DMZ London & Leeds, as well as London's leading station Rinse FM.

The album is the culmination of eight years hard work, Silkie began producing at 15 while still at school. He's now seeing the fruits of his labour with DJ bookings both across the UK and worldwide. Through his emotive production vision, he's long since exploded beyond his own personal City Limits.  The vinyl release  boasts a full colour gatefold sleeve on 180gram heavy duty triple vinyl.
