The Plugs I Met 2
The sequel to Benny The Butcher's 'The Plugs I Met', produced start-to-finish by Harry Fraud. Recorded after Benny's miraculous recovery from a shooting, it carries a stacked guest list including 2 Chainz, Fat Joe, French Montana and Jim Jones.
Music & Me
A limited MOV pressing of 3,000 numbered copies on silver double vinyl, featuring Dr. Dre, Xzibit, Kurupt, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch and Snoop Dogg. With lyrics and inserts included, it's a West Coast staple made for singing along with the King Of Hooks.
UNDERTALE Piano Arrangement Album: Echoes Beneath
An officially licensed piano-arrangement album of the near-solo Toby Fox RPG classic UNDERTALE, supervised by composer Yoko Shimomura with performances by Yui Morishita, Yuki Kishida and Ryota Kikuchi. Cover art by official illustrator Temmie Chang; a limited 2LP edition.
UNDERTALE: CHITEI DE CHILL
A different face of the UNDERTALE score — reimagined as Lo-Fi Hip Hop and chillout, with production from MURO, tofubeats, VaVa, DJ Mitsu the Beats and more. Cover art by Japanese painter NOVOL; a limited 2LP edition.
夢中相見 In Dreams / 夢中夢 Within Dreams
A double-album set (2CD) from rising Taiwanese-language songwriter Zhaolin. His music brims with familiar Hokkien folk melodies that shimmer like reflections on water — clear one moment, blurred the next. Split into 'In Dreams', an electronic collaboration with Li Yu-huan, and the band-driven, rock-charged 'Within Dreams' — one turning inward, one outward.
Rose C'est la Vie (ローズ・セ・ラ・ヴィ)
Mikiko Noda, increasingly prized in City Pop circles, sees her 1991 album 'Rose C'est la Vie' pressed to vinyl for the first time — a strictly limited red-vinyl edition. Arrangements by Hiroshi Sato and Yoko Kanno, with Masaki Matsubara and Yuji Toriyama guesting.
A long-quietly-circulated work by Japanese environmental composer Tomio Miyashita, now on vinyl for the first time. Just two ~25-minute pieces, 'See The Light' and 'Morning Prayer', unfold in gentle synthesizer tones — music designed for the body as much as the ear, ideal for rest, meditation and early mornings. Originally issued on CD in 1991, reissued here by Spanish label Ambient Sans.
