Krishnanda
Pedro Santo's psychedelic soul masterpiece is one of the most in-demand Brazilian records. Santos was a percussion virtuoso driven by the spiritual realm, and this record features a unique blend of rhythm and lyrics that touch on morality, perception and existence. Unlike many rare records, it also has strikingly beautiful artwork. Unsurprisingly, Krishnanda has a strong following among diggers like Gilles Peterson and DJ Nuts.
A Tábua De Esmeralda
At that time, the musician was studying philosophy and theology, particularly the works of Thomas Aquinas, which are referenced in several tracks. Among these are the absolute classic “Os Alquimistas Estão Chegando os Alquimistas,” “Hermes Trimegisto e sua Celeste Tábua de Esmeralda,” and “Errare Humanum Est.” Always preaching happiness and peace of mind in his lyrics and irresistible grooves, the artist brings his soulful singing and playful swing to other gems of the album, such as “O Homem da…

Olympiad - Vol. 4 - Curling
On John Zorn’s Olympiad Vol. 4 – Curling, John Zorn exhumes one of his rarest 1970s game pieces, a slow‑burn study in sustained tones, handing it to ROVA Saxophone Quartet and the William Winant Percussion Group, who turn its minimalist rules into 45 minutes of hovering, hypnotic sound.

John Zorn's Bagatelles Vol. 6
On John Zorn’s Bagatelles Vol. 6, John Zorn hands a fresh batch of his angular miniatures to the Brian Marsella Trio, who render them as a volatile, deeply melodic piano‑trio songbook where Monkish heads, free detonations and elusive “exotic” moods feel entirely at home.
