New Zealand-born, Brisbane-raised, and now London-based Jordan Rakei has stepped up to the plate since releasing Wallflower in 2017, stamping his authority as a talented songwriter, producer and live performer. Now, having undergone a process of evolution and re- evaluation, grappling with big picture questions – namely, technological growth, and how it affects our sense of humanity – and responding to the changes in his personal life, he is back with a new album: Origin.
ROMARE returns with his brand new album HOME. A euphoric and uplifting record with a guarantee to be a favorite on the dancefloor. HOME will be available on 2LP, CD and Digital formats. The release of this new record comes after a lifetime of being on the move. Fairhurst spent the majority of his life moving around, and was used to the nomadic lifestyle as his career progressed. Now he has found a place he can call home forever.
In 2012 Bonobo posted his unofficial remix of the 1977 gem 'Les "Là-Bas” by french jazz legend Henri Texier. Texier began his career at age 15 playing piano in nightclubs, but he soon switched to bass in order to play in the big band of Jef Gilson. Over the years he has gained recognition for his work in developing a type of jazz that is uniquely French and not beholden to American models. This Record Store Day official 12" release includes the Bonobo remix and the original by Texier. Artwork designed by the excellent Leif Podhajsky, who did the The North Borders artwork for Bonobo.

Giants of contemporary ambient and electronic inspired music, A Winged Victory for the Sullen make a bold return on new album 'The Undivided Five', their debut for Ninja Tune.

The duo have emerged alongside peers like Max Richter, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Tim Hecker and Fennesz. Their 2014 album 'Atomos' was the product of a commission to score a new performance by Royal Ballet choreographer Wayne McGregor, while 2016's 'Iris' was the score for director Jalil Lespert's thriller, 'In the Shadow of Iris'. They count the likes of Jon Hopkins among their fans, who included 'Requiem For The Static King Part One' on his 2015 Late Night Tales compilation.
