BEAU WANZER – BW07

Posted on 2025-09-29

Chicago techno mutant Beau Wanzer returns to Beau Wanzer the label for the seventh entry in this quasi-eponymous EP series on his own recently-relaunched imprint following incredible releases on L.I.E.S and The Trilogy Tapes alongside the Rezzett crew. As with previous BW releases, Wanzer leaves most of the grit and grime intact here, giving these recordings a certain tactile nature that feels as though you’re locked in the room with them. The sinister ‘FU Klaxon’ plays like a detuned electro at the wrong speed on the turntable, while ‘The Database Demon’ is more like a narrow escape from a rave heard from the toilets down the hall!

POWELL – WE GLIMPSE A WORLD

Posted on 2025-09-29

We Do Recover, the new album from Powell and his first album proper on his own Diagonal Records, is a vitalising record of recovery and a statement of reassurance. The music is intensely emotional and lean, and forms a uniquely expressive story that opens up new ground in the artists’s bizarre continuum of synthesised sound — this time triggered by experiences of grief and addiction.

WELCOME TO THE PLEASUREDOME – 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Posted on 2025-09-29

The album features the three UK No 1 singles ‘Relax’, ‘Two Tribes’, and ‘The Power of Love’ along with the 12 minute album version of the title track which reached No 2 in 1985, in single form. Other highlights include ‘War’, ‘The World Is My Oyster’, ‘Born to Run’ and ‘Black Night White Light’.

Each disc contains rare and, in most cases, unreleased versions of songs that are the gold standard for 80’s music.

The world-renowned artist, producer and remixer Steven Wilson has contributed an a Dolby Atmos mix as well as Stereo and 5.1 mixes for the blu-ray, and the booklet has been designed by Philip Marshall with rare photos and memorabilia and includes a timeline of the band’s rise to fame with input from all members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

WAGZ – DREAMCATCHER

Posted on 2025-09-22

Sheffield-based producer Wagz follows up on his Metalheadz debut with the five track ‘Dreamcatcher EP’.

Where the ‘Back Burner EP’ introduced his warm and distinct approach to the label’s catalogue, this new EP now expands upon those vibes – balancing stripped-back rhythms with atmospheric detail and delicate melodic touches. The result is a set of tracks that nod to the label’s classic lineage while retaining Wagz’s own signature style, with music that is functional on the floor but equally rewarding in close listening.

JASSS – KINDNESS OVER TALENT

Posted on 2025-09-22

Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS, presents her third LP, Eager Buyers. It’s the inaugural release on her own new platform called AWOS, which also encompasses musical, AV and art collaborations, live events, and a radio show. Eager Buyers is an observation of longing, of memory, of attempted connection, of lost innocence, and irreconcilable dreams. It’s the sound of broken promises for a bright future, where rose-tinted glasses have lost their clarity, dirtied with disa!ection over time. Across this sultry, smoky, cinematic epic, JASSS attempts to process mixed feelings amidst the modern malaise.
