Welcome to this week’s run down of physical releases shipping from the Kudos warehouse.
Leftfield, Ambient
99CHANTS presents chant#9: Equations Collective x Lena Platonos x Rabih Beaini, a brace of remixes that rework chant#8’s original sessions. Vanishing Lands is the most complex and dramatic work created to date by the artist and founder of Glacial Movements Records, Alessandro Tedeschi aka Netherworld. The sound mutations of Estonian based museum security guard Mihkel Kleis, aka Ratkiller, has found its nest on the upcoming oeuvre Leather Squeaking Softly.
Funk, Jazz
Jazzman reissue mid-70s dancefloor funk and proto-disco-jazz from Reality, recorded in NYC 50 years ago. Percussionist and multi-instrumentalist James Larter presents a cross-genre Psychedelic rhythm-focused journey on Next Door Records. Mostly instrumental tracks build on expressive melodies, layered rhythms, and a wide range of musical instruments, merging the sounds of Jazz with the classical word of orchestras and choirs on Pachakuti & young.vishnu’s Dédalo.
Field Recordings
Folklorist Derek Piotr teams with Death is Not the End for a third outing, this time plumbing the depths of every archive from West Virginia University to the British Library in search of versions of the ballad Lamkin.
House
Artesian Sounds is back after a two-year rest, announcing Scissorwork‘s new EP Identity Crisis. Moving forward from his earlier forays into lo-fi, Scissorwork presents a collage of influences spanning house, leftfield bass and electro.
Reggae
This World (Is Going Up In Flames) is taken from the final recording session of legendary reggae singer, Tabby Diamond, of the Mighty Diamonds. Music was recorded in London at The Total Refreshment Centre, a building Tabby frequented on his visits to England. Vocal was recorded in Anchor Studios, Kingston, Jamaica in June 2019. A painfully honest performance of the Charles Bradley classic, now takes on a new beauty and sadness; after the singer was tragically shot dead in April 2022.
