Jungle cemented their status as a major global force with their 2023 album Volcano, and they return this week with their fifth studio album, Sunshine. Longtime vocal collaborator Lydia Kitto becomes a full member of Jungle on this album, bringing her soulful voice to the heart of the band's evolving sound. Blurring the lines between soul, funk, disco and modern pop, it's packed with irresistible hooks and immaculate production.

Few electronic acts have built a live reputation as quickly as Overmono. The music on Pure Devotion grew from months of performing new material in front of audiences, with brothers Tom and Ed Russell refining ideas tested in front of thousands of people on stage before taking them into the studio. The result is an album that captures the energy and emotional connection of their live performances rather than simply recreating club tracks.

REVERSAL003 is a tribute to the two DJs who changed dance music forever. Split between Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan, the compilation celebrates the formative years of house, garage and loft music through four iconic extended mixes. Pressed just once on heavyweight 180g vinyl, RE:VERSAL 003 is designed as a collectible celebration of two of dance music's true pioneers.

Habibi Funk’s new sister label Audible Beauty Recordsmakes an assured debut with Tiga Trombone, an album that celebrates the rich traditions and untold stories of Malaysian jazz from the legendary composer, arranger and pianist Alfonso Soliano. It's a joyful listenand an exciting first statement from a label dedicated to uncovering overlooked musical treasures. For fans of Habibi Funk, Analog Africa and Soundway.

The acclaimed Jazz Is Dead series brings together two of Brazil's most revered musicians husband-and-wife duo Joyce and Tutty Moreno. Produced by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (member of A Tribe Called Quest), the project pairs legendary artists with brand-new analogue recordings that honour their legacy while creating something entirely fresh. The result is JID027, a beautifully understated collection of Brazilian jazz and popular music.

Another legendary Brazilian group Novos Baianos hit the shelves this week. Formed in Bahia in the late 1960s, this group fused samba, rock, psychedelia and electric street-soul into a new sound that helped reshape Brazilian Popular Music (MPB). Originally released in 1973, Novos Baianos F.C. captures the band's creativity in a vibrant, free-flowing collection that remains one of the great records of Brazilian pop.

Soul music's finest family tree has a new branch. The debut from The Womack Sisterson Daptone Records, draws on the rich traditions of classic Southern soul, gospel and R&B. The three sisters, grand-daughters of Sam Cooke and nieces of Bobby Womack, combine thoughtful song writing and rich vocal harmonies into a confident debut album that honours the family's extraordinary musical heritage.

Every week behind the scenes, we're busy ordering and listening to lots of new music to bring you a carefully curated selection of new additions to the shop. 

If you liked Floating Points’ extraordinary work with Pharoah Sanders on Promises, his next release Mere Mortals once again brings the electronic and orchestral worlds together. Originally composed for San Francisco Ballet, the album retells the Greek myth of Pandora, combining sweeping orchestration with Sam Shepherd’s synths and intricate electronic textures. It feels like a natural continuation of the expansive, contemplative side of Promises.

Continuing the Brazilian run, we've got another essential reissue on the way Clube da Esquina, the 1972 collaboration between Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. This record remains a towering achievement in Brazilian music, effortlessly blending regional traditions with jazz, folk, rock and psychedelia into a beautifully rich and deeply influential album. 

To commemorate three decades of a groundbreaking classic, Roc Nation presents JAŸ-Z's studio debut Reasonable Doubt. Built on smooth jazz samples, cinematic production and unmatched lyrical dexterity, this album established JAŸ-Z as one of hip-hop’s greatest lyricists. 

Anderson .Paak brings his trademark blend of funk, soul, hip-hop and R&B to the soundtrack for K-POPS!, the film he co-wrote, directed and stars in. It's a vibrant, feel-good collection that reflects his genre-crossing creativity.

Another from Adrian Younge (mentioned above) but this time for the dancefloor, Afro-Disco Makossa is on the way!. Inspired by the idea of a Ghanaian producer in 1976 making an American disco record, Younge delivers a vibrant analogue fusion of Afrobeat, funk and disco recorded entirely to tape and overflowing authenticity.
