Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra

A Première Vue Les Eléphants

via Tokyo Buy Buy Diary View post →

Led by French free jazz pioneer François Tusques, the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra's 1974 live recording finally gets its first vinyl and CD reissue. The ensemble inherits the cross-cultural spirit of Don Cherry and Chris McGregor, fusing jazz, blues, African music, and free improvisation while dismantling stylistic frameworks. 'Intercommunal' embodies solidarity between communities — using music to dissolve ethnic divides, push back against nationalism, and confront the era's French prejudices toward the Third World.

Overmono

Pure Devotion

Overmono's debut was hailed by The Guardian as 'the perfect distillation of UK rave history', and the duo went global from there — collaborations with Joy Orbison, High Contrast, Smerz, Fred again.., Lil Yachty, Skiifall, and The Streets, plus every major festival stage. Their sound-design sharpness keeps them at the front of the dancefloor. New album Pure Devotion drops 8/7 on standard black and colored vinyl.
