To start off this week, we have a foundational LP in reggae history. Negrea Love Dub, first released in 1978, stands as a cornerstone of the dub tradition. With tracks by The Revolutionaries and mixes by Prince Jammy at King Tubby’s, this LP pushed reggae to wider audiences, bridging sound innovation with hypnotic, euphoric rhythm.

Next, we have four amazing Pink Floyd reissues, which begins with their 1967 debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. This LP showcased Syd Barrett’s groundbreaking psychedelic songwriting. Whilst their 1968 follow up album A Saucerful of Secrets introduced David Gilmour to the band while serving as Barrett’s farewell. This would be the only studio album to feature all five members, highlighted by transitional pieces like “Jugband Blues.” 

The reissue journey continues with Relics (1971), a compilation of early singles, B-sides, and previously unreleased material that captured the band’s formative years. By 1972, Pink Floyd had further expanded their creative scope with Obscured by Clouds, a film soundtrack that reflected their growing reputation as both rock innovators and cinematic composers.

Looking to another iconic soundtrack, AIR’s The Virgin Suicides celebrates its 25th anniversary with a reissue. With a new analogue mix, the haunting atmospheres created for Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut have grown deeper and more resonant, just like the cult film it accompanies.

Equally transformative, Roy Ayers’s funk-jazz legacy gets fresh treatment as Berlin’s Delfonic launches a new series of reworks for BBE Music. From “What’s the T?” to “Oh What a Lonely Feeling,” these soulful reimaginings honour Ayers’ signature feel while reinventing it for modern dancefloors.

Meanwhile, The Meters’ 1970 masterpiece Look-Ka Py Py, produced by Allen Toussaint, cements their reputation in funk. With its irresistible grooves and title track hit, it remains one of the most beloved New Orleans funk albums of all time.

For more timeless classics we have A Charlie Brown Christmas. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Peanuts and the album’s 60th anniversary, this holiday jazz classic is now available in two collectable editions: a Christmas Tree Color Vinyl with holographic sleeve and a Zoetrope Picture Disc LP.

Equally collectable, Moodymann’s Forevernevermore has been reissued for Peacefrog Records' 35th anniversary. Forevernevermore showcases his signature Detroit deep house style with soulful samples and hypnotic grooves. Also resurfacing from Peacefrog’s archives is Moodymann’s Silence in the Secret Garden, a deeply personal and spiritual masterpiece, which explores stripped-back minimal rhythms and infectious funk.

Returning to jazz roots, Mulatu Astatke’s Mulatu Plays Mulatu reinvents Ethio-jazz classics with new arrangements. Balancing Ethiopian instruments with Western jazz textures, the father of Ethio-jazz revisits his legacy with modern vitality.

That same spirit of cross-cultural fusion shapes BABON, a psychedelic instrumental trio from Indonesia, blending Keroncong, Dangdut, Afro-funk, and Spaghetti Western sounds. Their debut album, plus striking artwork by Christian Candra, channels both global rhythms and environmental activism.

Exploring further experimentation, Tom Skinner’s Kaleidoscopic Visions stretches across jazz improvisation and soulful collaboration. Side A focuses on instrumental brilliance with musicians like Adrian Utley, while Side B expands into dreamlike, vocal-led soundscapes, culminating in a meditative collaboration with Meshell Ndegeocello.

Next we have a rediscovered rarity by The People’s People. Recorded in 1974, this continuous performance fuses spiritual jazz, soul, funk, and world influences, embodying the social unrest and unity-seeking of its time.

With that same communal spirit, Ancient Infinity Orchestra releases It’s Always About Love. A melody-driven LP with improvisation at its centre, uniting genres like folk, jazz, and classical. Led by Ozzy Moysey, their uplifting songs highlight love, connection, and the joy of collective music-making.

Finally, we close with a celebration of remix culture: The Stone Roses – The Remixes. First issued 25 years ago and now fully restored with original artwork, this collection captures the band’s biggest songs reworked by Paul Oakenfold, 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald, and more, proving the timeless connection between rock and the dancefloor.
