Spellbreakers - "Revolution"

Roots reggae with a punk spirit! From the analog tape recording, the one pass dub mixing, hand-drawn illustrations and linocut print front cover, this record is a celebration of human craft and creativity.

It is also a call for resistance in these times of turmoil, misinformation and war, and aims to be a source of strength and hope. Socially engaged lyrics reflect on the turmoil the world is facing, while offering strength and hope.

The time is now, join the Revolution!

Slick Rick - Victory

Few figures in hip-hop command the level of iconic status, global influence, and timeless elegance as Slick Rick. He shaped hip-hop as a transatlantic movement, setting the gold standard in lyrical storytelling, refined style, wit and cultural impact.

"It’s tonal whirlpool that is also refreshingly low stakes, is what VICTORY has going for it. He’s not trying to make his big comeback, it’s just a quick fly-by from one of the greatest rappers ever, a guy who seems to exist out of time." - Pitchfork

Charity - Uncomfortable 🔥

Singer. Songwriter. Guitarist. Detroit Girl. Charity makes her mark with “Uncomfortable” a bold, genre-defying anthem that blends R&B, Amapiano, House, and even Gospel elements into one fearless, empowering sound.

This uptempo release is a celebration of resilience, divine protection, and unshakable self-worth and pure unbothered energy designed for anyone who's ever been targeted or tested.

MoBounce - The inappropriate EDM mix

In this age of woke-ism and false identity politics, people can't take a joke without somebody being offended. This mix walks you through the fine line between a joke and inappropriateness. Tongue in cheek with a certain undertone.

Pretentious without being presumptuous, advocating a more open and tolerant society. I guess it’s still there, it’s only harder to find. Fav and share the mix if you like it. If you don't like it, I'm sorry for having offended your senses. Duh.

Roadblock Dub Collective - Magna Ragom 🇮🇩 #Dub from Indonesia.

Roadblock Dub Collective is composed of Sam & Iday, a duo based in Lampung, Indonesia. These musicians blend their personal musical preferences with a deep passion for Lampung’s traditional music and the Jamaican music nexus.

The duo chose the Latin word "Magna" (meaning "great") and Lampung’s folk slogan "Ragom" (meaning "togetherness") to encapsulate the spirit behind the 10 tracks on their first release, emphasising kinship.

This release is a gem. One never knows when and where to encounter genius, until it hits one in the face, albeit as gentle and measured as this release does.

Stonetribe - Locked Away

This bilingual masterpiece, crafted with equal parts Spanish and English lyrics, promises to captivate audiences with its high energy emotive storytelling and infectious rhythms!

"Locked Away" delves into the aftermath of love's dissolution, exploring the protective instincts that arise when hearts are broken. While this introspective period is crucial for healing and self-assurance, it can sometimes trap individuals, preventing them from embracing new connections.

The song serves as a beacon of hope for those navigating past heartaches, encouraging forgiveness and renewal as they envision a brighter future with a new love.
