A pivotal NYC deep-house collab between Tortured Soul and Alistair Colling and the tune "When You Find Love, Hold On" gets a proper 25th anniversary treatment courtesy of Razor-N-Tape. The original Jon Cutler mixes get a remaster for the first time since the original release. Alongside it, the label tapped DJ Spinna and musclecars for fresh new remixes that bridge past and present.

We've got an exclusive premiere of the musclecars remix, the eight-plus-minute instrumental in all its glory.

Brazilian producer and multi-instrumentalist Diogo Strausz, now based in France, brings his deep musical roots into a new album for Favorite Recordings. The project draws from the golden era of Brazilian disco-funk, channeling the influence of late-’70s and early-’80s visionaries like Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti.

Ahead of the album’s release on January 16th, we’re happy to present “Ele é Artista,” featuring Bruno “Patchworks” Hovart of Voilaaa and Mr. President fame.

Though the New Jersey label Cheri Records only released a handful of records between 1974–1982, its impact echoes through soul, gospel, disco, and modern dance culture, and influenced artists ranging from Patrick Adams to MF DOOM.

We're happy to present the funky gospel from a group led by legendary producer Julius Brockington, The Family Tree, and their tune "Brand New Day".

The compilation Let Me Down Easy: Echoes From Cheri Records will be released via Miles Away.

Spacewalker's back at the controls with an all-new edition of Balance!

** FWD is a brand new series of conversations with artists, authors, and curators who are pushing music forward **

Episode 12 welcomes Laurie Torres is a Canadian musician and composer raised in Montréal, Québec by Haitian parents. Since 2008, she has been a trusted stage and studio performer for Julia Jacklin, Pomme, and Land of Talk, as well as being a founding member of Folly & The Hunter, with whom she recorded four studio albums and toured Canada, Europe and the UK.

Australian-based artist L Lewis is back with a new record, Intervals, out now on Bathtub Music. The 12" fuses jazz improvisation with warm electronics and subtle rhythmic shifts, a continuation of the sounds heard on his debut.

The A-side features five original tracks, while the B-side brings four remixes from the likes of Space Ghost, Hector Plimmer, Joseph Shabason, and Jonah Gabriel, each offering a unique spin on the originals.

We're premiering the composition “Gravity Waves Reprise”, from the A-side.

This mix is a humble tribute to the late Ziad Rahbani, the great Lebanese composer, pianist, playwright, and pioneer of Fusion and Oriental Jazz. His voice, raw and unfiltered, spoke truth to power and captured the soul of Lebanon.

You’ll hear glimpses of his vast legacy — music and interview excerpts where he reflects on life, politics, creativity, and love. No mix could ever fully capture his impact, but this is my way of honoring it.

I grew up on my parents’ music, rushing home from school to play funk, disco, hip hop, and Arabic tapes on a Sony CFD-V7 Boombox. One day, my father gave me Houdou’ Nisbi — a cassette I played endlessly. It was unlike anything else: emotional, layered, and deeply rooted in Lebanon’s cultural rhythm.

That’s the power of Ziad — his music holds memory, movement, and meaning.
