THING (Book)
Started in 1989 by designer and writer Robert Ford, THING magazine was the voice of the Queer Black music and art scene in the early 1990s. Ford and his editors were part of the burgeoning House music scene, which originated in Chicago’s Queer underground, and some of the top DJs and musicians from that time were featured in the magazine, including Frankie Knuckles, Gemini, Larry Heard, Rupaul, and Deee-Lite. THING published ten issues from 1989-1993, before it was cut short by Ford’s death from…

Thailand's Golden Sounds
Baa Records’ Thailand's Golden Sounds (80's Synth-Pop & Disco) is a vibrant compilation spotlighting the evolution of Thai pop as synthesized textures and disco grooves emerged from Bangkok’s Golden Sound studios. With a focus on overlooked 1980s gems, these tracks fuse local melodic sensibilities with Western production tricks, capturing a unique and danceable era both nostalgic and unexpectedly forward-looking.
Four Fold
Four Fold unites four singular musicians—Iva Bittová, Marilyn Crispell, Benedicte Maurseth, and David Rothenberg—in a chamber where jazz, improvisation, and modern composition intertwine. Voices and instruments curve and spar, yielding an album of subtle poetics and palpable communion whose articulated silences are as charged as its most explosive moments.

Out of this climate, a music scene exploded that would forever change the face of western rock; at times anarchic, at others mystical, magickal, or utopian, it pushed rock beyond any known limits. Never a genr…
