On Blue Lake, Don Cherry dissolves borders in real time: a transcendent 1971 Paris trio set with Johnny Dyani and Okay Temiz, now restored by Charly and BYG, where flute, bass and percussion spiral through Native American echoes, Far‑Eastern tonalities and two sprawling, ecstatic journeys past the twenty‑five‑minute mark.

Sensational Jazz '70: Vol. 1/2
The agony of hard bop, the rise of jazz-rock, and the emergence of free jazz. The definitive live recording that captures the chaos and climax of jazz in Japan. Japan's jazz scene around 1970 is very interesting. The agony of hard bop, the rise of jazz-rock, and the emergence of free jazz. New music and values were born one after another, and chaos was reached, and up-and-coming musicians ran at a speed that shook off the meter.
This album "Sensational Jazz '70 Vol. 1/2" is famous as a live soun…
Afraid To Speak

Second Life
De Mond blend gargles of stomach ache electronic dubs with the energy of a raging ozz garage band and the blasting beat of a heavily sampled hip hop act, sauced with neon vocals sang through the exhaust pipe of a lost balkenbrei eating uncle from Peer in backward Limburg! We always heard the echo's of late 90's / early 2000's Providence / Load loudness in De Mond's live shows, without the masks, though with the red paint dripping all over the floor. There's surely that high energy warehouse punk…

Empty Wall, Meadow Green
"Mossy Place is the experimental solo project of Kayla Jane Macneill; inspired by the flowering fern and winter’s moss, poetic nonsense, poetic truths, and the theatre of the absurd to create a rhythmic journey into the sea of big love. When I saw the video for The Pauper that was posted on Mossy Place's ig account I knew that we had to release this music on Bruit Direct ラブクラブ (that's our CD only outlet) I had been listening to her music (poetic, soft, jaunty, thrilling, throbbing, fast, quirky …
Romancing The Music
On Romancing The Music, Hip-See-Kid reanimates Japanese New Wave as a jittery, neon‑lit fever dream: punk‑funk basslines, soul‑scarred melodies and splashy jazz inflections squeezed into a compact mini‑LP that feels like a lost 80s club classic beamed into the present.

Sounds simultaneously strange and beautiful, from romantic lyricism to alien sonorities. Essential.
