As I constantly point out, Warp Records is one of, if not my favourite label. Ever. And one of its most brilliant and interesting artists right now is Oneohtrix Point Never, aka Daniel Lopatin. He’s just shared a first single and video, A Barely Lit Path, from his recently announced new album ‘Again’, which drops …

On 24th …

Fresh onto those discerning record store racks, Síntesis Moderna: An Alternative Vision Of Argentinean Music 1980-1990 (available on Soundway Records) ticks off all these criteria without any squabbling: diligently curated by people in the …

You might know Ghent based Sdban Records for their exquisite re-issues (think Raphael/’Stop Look and Listen’ or their ‘Utopic Cities’ jazz prog comp). Or maybe you grabbed ethio-dub fusionists Black Flower’s ‘Magma’ album in January, a record that’s destined to scorch into those best of ’22 lists. Well the Belgian label look set to make …
