The Daily Dig

The third annual compilation from Budapest concept label Blue Sun, digging through Hungary's underground across downtempo, trip-hop, jazz, dub, Balearic and experimental sound. The cassette swaps A/B sides for 'ORANGE' (organic, lively) and 'BLUE' (introspective, experimental). Standout: 11-piece Afrobeat/jazz-fusion outfit Hakumba with Skels on 'Uhh Babe' — loose grooves, breezy rap and horns, at moments recalling Taiwanese rapper Chen Hsien-Ching. 19 tracks; cassette limited to 200 copies worldwide.

布達佩斯概念型廠牌 Blue Sun 的年度合輯第三輯，挖掘匈牙利地下音樂場景，橫跨 Downtempo、Trip-Hop、Jazz、Dub、Balearic 與實驗聲響。卡帶兩面以「ORANGE」與「BLUE」取代 A、B 面：前者有機而充滿活力，後者內省而實驗。11 人 Afrobeat／Jazz Fusion 樂團 Hakumba 與 Skels 合作的〈Uhh Babe〉律動鬆軟、管樂快意，某些段落甚至讓人想起陳嫺靜的嗓音。全輯 19 首，卡帶全球限量 200 份。

Part of Toru Hashimoto's (Suburbia) 'Neo-Acoustic for Café Après-midi' series, reimagining '80s neo-acoustic classics with the warmth of an afternoon coffee.

Sleeve art by Jiro Fujita (FJD), mastering by Calm.

The UK duo who once turned Red House Painters' devastating 'Katy Song' into something bittersweet return with a full-length. Think Beach House plus Chromatics — dreamy, with swooning electronic pulse. Co-produced by Al Doyle (LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip), it adds sharper beats, repetitive melodic structures and emotionally taut arrangements, flowing between melancholy and euphoria. The LP keeps the rounded-corner sleeve of their previous record.

曾把 Red House Painters 慘情經典〈Katy Song〉翻成三分微糖的英國雙人組 White Flowers 回歸，帶來全長新作。曲風像 Beach House 加 Chromatics，夢幻中帶著欲仙欲死的電子律動。由 LCD Soundsystem、Hot Chip 成員 Al Doyle 共同製作，在迷濛氛圍中加入更鮮明的電子節奏與重複旋律，在憂傷與亢奮之間流動。黑膠延續上張的圓角封套設計。

If Boards of Canada is your thing, take note. Where BoC recalls a blurred childhood, mysterious Swedish producer Civilistjävel! walks alone into a cold Nordic forest in search of family memory — analog synths, broken mechanical rhythms and faint voices. Recorded at Stockholm's EMS Studios on rare Serge and Buchla modulars, weaving in Swedish folk, hymns and bells, it's a sonic letter to his grandfather, with guests Soccer Committee, Carrier and Jabu's Jasmine Butt.

如果 Boards of Canada 是你的菜，一定要留意這張。瑞典神祕電子音樂人 Civilistjävel! 的新作像獨自走進寒冷的北歐森林尋找家族記憶，以類比合成器、破碎的機械節奏與幽微人聲營造深沉的情緒世界。錄製於斯德哥爾摩 EMS Studios，大量使用 Serge、Buchla 等模組合成器，融入瑞典傳統音樂、聖歌與鐘聲；這是一封獻給祖父的聲音書信，客座有 Soccer Committee、Carrier 與 Jabu 的 Jasmine Butt。

An early masterpiece from Hong Kong R&B diva Shirley Kwan, miraculously reissued decades later and pressed on Japanese vinyl for the first time. Kwan debuted after winning a Japanese pop song contest and broke through covering Hideaki Tokunaga; mixing English and Japanese lyrics, this record is truly borderless — a perennially coveted City Pop classic in Japan.

香港 R&B 天后關淑怡早期的傑作，時隔 30 多年奇蹟再版，首次以日本黑膠發行。她在日本流行歌曲大賽獲大獎出道，因重新演繹德永英明曲目而人氣確立；這張專輯融合英語與日語歌詞，正如其名般無國界，是日本樂迷垂涎的 City Pop 不敗之作。

A 30th-anniversary 4LP box of De La Soul's Stakes Is High, whose title track featured beats from a then-unknown J Dilla — a record that hasn't aged in three decades.

The score to The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, issued on official colored vinyl by Enjoy The Ride with Paramount, including a 12×12 full-color insert.

After Lush split, Emma Anderson and Lisa O'Neill formed Sing-Sing; their 2001 debut is finally reissued 25 years on. Trading Lush's hazy guitar walls for something lighter and more delicate — soft vocals, glinting electronics, cinematic arrangements — it sits between dream pop, trip-hop and indie pop. Remastered by Kevin Vanbergen, with new artwork by Chris Bigg, longtime collaborator of 4AD's Vaughan Oliver; the 2CD adds B-sides, demos and an unreleased Spanish radio acoustic session.

英國瞪鞋名團 Lush 解散後，Emma Anderson 與 Lisa O'Neill 組成 Sing-Sing，2001 年的首張專輯在 25 年後終於再版！不同於 Lush 迷濛厚重的吉他音牆，Sing-Sing 轉向輕盈細膩，以柔美人聲、閃爍電子音色與電影感編曲，融合 Dream Pop、Trip-Hop 與獨立流行。由 Kevin Vanbergen 重新母帶，長期與 4AD 傳奇設計師 Vaughan Oliver 合作的 Chris Bigg 重新設計封面；雙 CD 版加收 B-sides、Demo 與西班牙電台不插電演出。

In 1969 India, people were already exploring cutting-edge electronic music with Moog synths, tape collage and field recordings. After years of research, British electronic artist Paul Purgas unearthed 27 forgotten reels in the archive of the National Institute of Design, restored and distilled here onto a double LP. Lauded by The Wire, The Quietus, the New York Times and Boomkat, it's a reminder that electronic music history was never just a European, American and Japanese story. Back in stock after selling out first time round.

The 1984 self-released classic from UK indie and twee pop pioneers Dolly Mixture, gathering 27 early recordings. Formed in 1978, they fused '60s girl-group sweetness, punk DIY spirit and plain guitar pop long before C86 or 'twee' were labels — Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley is a devoted fan. Originals fetch steep prices; Spa Green now reissues it as a double LP (pink or black vinyl) in a new sleeve.

英國 Indie Pop、Twee Pop 重要先驅 Dolly Mixture 於 1984 年自主發行的經典，收錄 27 首早期錄音。1978 年成軍的她們，在 C86 與 Twee Pop 成為標籤之前，就把 60 年代 Girl Group 的甜美旋律、龐克 DIY 精神與直接的吉他流行融為一體，Saint Etienne 的 Bob Stanley 更是狂推。原版價格居高不下，這次由 Spa Green 以全新封套推出雙黑膠（粉紅彩膠／黑膠）。

An experimental EP from Valentina Magaletti — key figure in contemporary experimental percussion, of Moin and Vanishing Twin — and French writer Fanny Chiarello. Poetry, percussion, field recordings and odd sonic fragments are collaged into seven improvisational, darkly funny miniatures with punk directness. Limited to 200 copies with hand-stamped, screen-printed sleeves and a Risograph booklet — as much an art publication as a record.

The debut album from Nagoya's buzziest band of the year, hailed as 'the Soutaiseiriron of the Reiwa era'. The standout 'Zetsuen' opens with a strikingly odd rhythmic arrangement. Since going active in 2024 they've played FUJI ROCK's Rookie A Go-Go and Sweet Love Shower, and in early 2026 Enon Kawatani picked them for EIGHT-JAM's pros' best-of list. The CD adds the bonus track 'Shoutai'.

今年最受矚目的名古屋樂團 Trooper Salute 的首張專輯，被譽為「令和時代的相対性理論」。名曲〈絶縁〉開場奇異的節奏編曲令人難忘。2024 年正式展開活動後陸續登上 FUJI ROCK「ROOKIE A GO-GO」、SWEET LOVE SHOWER 等舞台，2026 年初更被川谷絵音選入《EIGHT-JAM》專業音樂人年度十大。CD 版額外收錄〈正体〉。

Trooper Salute's debut EP, a revelation in hindsight. Early track 'Yuutai Ridatsu' already hints at the odd arrangements of the later 'Zetsuen', pairing fresh, cute melodies with lyrics that read like wordplay but hide something deeper.
