The Daily Dig

Jazzy Sport, a Japanese label two decades deep, formally plants its flag in London. Compiled by Nina Yamada, it runs across hip-hop, house, jazz and broken beat, gathering Cro-Magnon, Grooveman Spot and Nubian Lady alongside remixes from DJ Mitsu the Beats and Idjut Boys. The first release for Jazzy Sport London, issued by UK label Time Capsule, distilling the genre-agnostic taste the label has built since 2002.

扎根日本超過二十年的唱片廠牌 Jazzy Sport 正式將聲音帶到倫敦。由 Nina Yamada 選曲，橫跨 Hip-Hop、House、Jazz 與 Broken Beat，集結 Cro-Magnon、Grooveman Spot、Nubian Lady，以及 DJ Mitsu the Beats、Idjut Boys 等 Remix。作為 Jazzy Sport London 的第一張作品、由英國廠牌 Time Capsule 發行，重新濃縮廠牌從 2002 年走到今天、不受曲風限制的獨特品味。

A pyramid-tier classic of Japanese jazz. Legendary drummer Hideo Shiraki's 1961 masterwork gets its first mono vinyl reissue in over 60 years. The title track, written by Kazuo Yashiro back in 1958, folds Japanese melody and koto into cold, deep modal jazz that still sounds ahead of its time. Alongside Shiraki's explosive drumming sit Hidehiko Matsumoto and Yuzuru Sera, holding an astonishing intensity from end to end.

和製 Jazz 歷史上的金字塔級名盤。日本傳奇鼓手白木秀雄於 1961 年錄製的代表作，睽違超過 60 年首度以 Mono 單聲道黑膠再版。同名曲由八城一夫創作，早在 1958 年便已誕生，大膽將日本旋律與琴結合，化為冷冽深邃的 Modal Jazz，時隔今日聽來依然前衛。除了白木充滿爆發力的鼓擊，陣中還有松本英彦、世良讓等名手坐鎮，整張專輯始終維持驚人的熱度。

The title doubles as a warning — don't be dumb — on a genre-crossing hip-hop concept record. A$AP Rocky's long-delayed album, its artwork done with Tim Burton, finally landed; the 2LP restocks in October.

專輯名稱是一個警語，提醒你別犯傻，也是一張跨界的嘻哈概念專輯。A$AP Rocky 這張與 Tim Burton 合作視覺的作品歷經多年延期後終於問世，雙黑膠版本十月補貨。

Thirty years on, The Cranberries' defining album returns. Beyond the original LP, the double-vinyl edition carries new mixes, unreleased live material from Woodstock 1994, and the demo of 'Zombie' everyone comes back for.

紀念小紅莓經典專輯發行三十週年，《No Need To Argue》再度重發。除了原本專輯之外，雙黑膠版本包含重新混音曲目、1994 年 Woodstock 的未發行現場，當然還有大家最愛的〈Zombie〉Demo。好好聽音樂、老老實實做人，大概就是這張要講的事。

A killer 7-inch that's been out of stock forever finally gets repressed. Side A pairs 'Call In Sick' with chelmico's rap; side B hands '球体' to Moeka Shiotsuka of Hitsujibungaku. The Xavier project — built around Masayuki Ishii, ZAK and Yumiko Ohno — returns to press six years on, due next January.

缺貨超久的殺手級七吋終於等到再版。A 面〈Call In Sick〉Featuring chelmico 的 Rap，B 面〈球体〉則由羊文学的塩塚モエカ獻聲。由石井マサユキ、ZAK、大野由美子為核心的合作企劃 Xavier 出手，時隔六年於明年一月再版。

Misi Ke's 'BE GOOD' in a Japan-only coloured pressing, limited to forty copies. The Japanese edition adds the bonus track '12000 km (Japanese version)' and comes with a poster carrying Chinese-Japanese lyric translations for every song.

柯泯薰《好好的 BE GOOD》日版限定彩膠，不只價格，數量也要把握，限量四十張。日版收錄 Bonus Track〈12000 km（日本語 ver.）〉，並附全曲中日對譯歌詞海報。

Some records aren't for relaxing — they're for knocking you awake. In 2002 Godspeed You! Black Emperor went to Chicago and cut their third album with Steve Albini, stripping away the samples and field recordings and letting the sheer weight of the instruments speak: stacked walls of guitar, drums like distant shelling. U.X.O. means unexploded ordnance; there isn't a lyric on it, yet the rage and grief are unmistakable. The double LP runs nearly nine minutes longer than the CD.

有些唱片不是拿來放鬆的，是來把你整個人撞醒的。2002 年，Godspeed You! Black Emperor 跑到芝加哥找 Steve Albini 錄下第三張專輯。這次他們把過去常用的取樣和環境錄音全拿掉，純粹交由樂器本身的重量說話：層層堆疊的吉他音牆，沉重如遠方砲火的鼓擊。專輯名稱裡的 U.X.O. 指的是未爆彈，全張沒有一句歌詞，憤怒與哀傷卻無比清晰。雙黑膠比 CD 版多出將近九分鐘。

Six songs that carried a lot of people through their youth. Nujabes and Shing02 wrote the Luv(sic) hexalogy across more than a decade, the final chapters finished after Nujabes was gone. In March 2024 Shing02 and the OMA band played all six straight through at Tokyo's LIQUIDROOM on live instruments — Uyama Hiroto on sax and keys, Spin Master A-1 on turntables — closing with 'Battlecry'. Limited to 3,000 individually numbered copies worldwide.

那六首歌，陪很多人走過一整段青春。Nujabes 和 Shing02 的〈Luv(sic)〉六部曲前後寫了十幾年，最後幾章是在 Nujabes 離開之後才完成的。2024 年 3 月，Shing02 與 OMA 樂團在東京惠比壽 LIQUIDROOM 把六部曲從頭到尾完整演了一遍，全部用真樂器現場演奏，Uyama Hiroto 吹薩克斯風、彈鍵盤，Spin Master A-1 負責刷碟，最後再以〈Battlecry〉收尾。全球限量 3000 張，每張都有獨立編號。

Phuket-born pami joined Thai indie label JUICEY in 2023, labelmate to the much-loved HYBS. Her 2025 debut 'puffette' rippled straight through Asia's indie scene, with the single 'pity dirty' catching ears on the strength of its odd, vivid personal aesthetic and dreamy production. To mark her first Taiwan headline show in November, a Taiwan-exclusive pink-and-white split pressing arrives via JUICEY and earthtone, limited to 400 copies.

出生於泰國普吉島的 pami，2023 年正式加盟泰國新銳獨立廠牌 JUICEY，成為人氣樂團 HYBS 的同門師妹。2025 年首張個人專輯《puffette》發行後旋即在亞洲獨立音樂圈掀起迴響，話題單曲〈pity dirty〉以鮮明古怪的個人美學與夢幻曲風抓住樂迷目光。為紀念 pami 十一月首度在台開唱，特別與泰國 JUICEY 及 earthtone 跨國合作推出台灣限定粉白雙色彩膠，全台限量 400 張。

A cornerstone of Japanese jazz, described by Deep Jazz Reality's Yusuke Ogawa as tough, exhilarating and bright. Drummer Ryojiro Furusawa, active from the 1970s into the 2010s, wrote every track here, swinging from deep, unrestrained modal and funky jazz into warm, easy calypso. The range looks scattershot on paper yet a single bracing life force runs through it. Reissued on high-fidelity Pure Vinyl.

和製 Jazz 的大名盤，由 Deep Jazz Reality 主理人尾川雄介以「強悍、痛快、爽朗」形容。鼓手古沢良治郎從 1970 年代一路活躍至 2010 年代，《Racco》全曲皆由他親自創作，從深邃奔放的 Modal Jazz、Funky Jazz 一路突然轉進溫暖愜意的 Calypso Jazz，曲風看似天馬行空，卻始終有著一股貫穿全輯的爽快生命力。這次以高音質 Pure Vinyl 規格重新推出。

Fuyumi Abe pairs her 2026 single 'Void,' with 2025's 'Wu-Lu' on a 7-inch for the first time. The A-side, sung entirely in English, is arranged by Kei Kawano — the man behind Hikaru Utada's 'First Love' — weaving acoustic guitar and strings into something quiet and finely drawn. The B-side reunites her with composer Akiko Higashikawa, wrapping small interior feelings in warm ensemble playing and a weightless melody.

阿部芙蓉美將 2026 年最新曲〈Void,〉與 2025 年發表的〈ウー・ルー〉首次集結為 7 吋黑膠。A 面全曲以英文演唱，由曾經手宇多田光〈First Love〉的編曲家河野圭擔任編曲，以木吉他與弦樂交織出安靜細膩的聲響。B 面則再次與作曲家東川亜希子合作，以溫暖的合奏與輕盈旋律包裹著藏在內裡的細微情緒。

Produced by Jim O'Rourke in 2010, this Burt Bacharach tribute gathers eleven singers to reinterpret his standards. The cast is remarkable — Haruomi Hosono, Chu Kosaka, Etsuko Yakushimaru of Soutaiseiriron, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, and, unexpectedly, Kahimi Karie. Familiar melodies get turned over without losing their warm romantic pull. Reissued now as a gatefold LP with a cassette edition alongside.

2010 年發行、由 Jim O'Rourke 製作的向 Burt Bacharach 致敬之作，集結 11 位歌手共同翻唱 Bacharach 的經典。參與陣容相當豪華，從細野晴臣、小坂忠、やくしまるえつこ（相對性理論），到 Thurston Moore（Sonic Youth），甚至還有令人意外的カヒミ・カリィ。熟悉的名曲被重新翻玩，卻依然保有那份溫暖浪漫的旋律感。這次推出雙開封套 LP 黑膠並追加卡帶版本。
