Antibalas – Hourglass (LP)
In Ihrem neuen Album artikuliert Antibalas die Themen Patriarchat, Klimawandel, Militarismus, Spätkapitalismus, Oligarchie, weißen Ethnonationalismus und den Völkermord an den amerikanischen Ureinwohnern  neu, spricht jedoch durch Melodie und Rhythmus.  "Hourglass" beginnt mit einem klagenden und ekstatischen Tenorsaxophonsolo, bevor es in einen intensiven 12-8-Groove eintaucht. Tracks wie "Solace", "Escape" und "Lo Ceiba" erinnern an den klassischen Afrobeat-Sound von Lagos, wenn auch mit einem Brooklyn-Akzent. "Oasis", das Finale des Albums, ist ein Schritt in eine psychedelische, unbekannte Zukunft, mit einem tiefen Gefühl von befreiendem Funk im Kern.

Menahan Street Band, a veritable supergroup of some of today's most prolific songwriters, arrangers, and producers return with this beat-forward, cinematic masterpiece.

While this album carries the aesthetic torch that MSB has skillfully woven into the tapestry of their DNA, it also delves deeper into the experimental, exotic sounds that fill many of the coveted Sound Library and Soundtrack LPs of the late sixties and early seventies - an amalgamation of moog synths, electric pianos, drum machines, and a bevy of analog instrumentation, that ebb and flow in lush swells of Morriconian grandeur.-Includes MP3 Download Card

Johnny! – Karl Hector Presents: Johnny! (LP)
Back in stock! Ghanaian Afro-Rock From Producer/Composer JJ Whitefield, Inspired By His Karl Hector & The Malcouns And Whitefield Brothers Projects JJ Whitefield, who in the early ‘90s revived the gritty, analogue Funk sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s with his Poets Of Rhythm, has been working with Now-Again Records for over decade, releasing a flock of acclaimed projects with Karl Hector & The Malcouns, Whitefield Brothers, Rodinia and the Original Raw Soul anthology. He first started exploring African rhythms with the Whitefield Brothers in the late ‘90s, continuing in the ‘00s with Karl Hector & The Malcouns. He’s been instrumental in launching Ghanaian Afro Beat/Funk legend Ebo Taylor´s international career, decades after the maestro recorded the landmark albums that have inspired thousands. Whitefield recorded two new studio albums with Taylor and toured in his band between 2009 and 2013, where he met Taylor’s son Henry and percussionist/Singer Eric Owusu. The trio now front the Johnny! band and find inspiration not only in Ghana’s hypnotic grooves, but also the full frontal fuzz guitar assault heard on the legion of 70s Zambian Zamrock albums reissued by Now-Again. Indeed, Whitefield credits his tours with Zamrock godfathers Rikki Ililonga and WITCH’s Jagari Chanda as instrumental in creating the Johnny’s sonic backdrop. The band is rounded out by Turkish drummer Bernd Oezsevim (Woima Collective, Rodinia) and Indonesian bassist/multi instrumentalist Tomi Simatupang (Whitefield Brothers). This is what was oft-called “Afro Rock” at the core, with the possibilities to stretch out into swinging highlife, sweet soul or psychedelia . The results, point at a new direction for the music inspired by the Great Continent. One that takes a direction once mocked as derivative and asserts its importance on the globe’s current musical stage.

Akale Wube & Manu Dibango - Anbessa (LP)
Record Store Day RSD 22, Glitter Gold Coloured Vinyl Realease On December 2013, during Alain Pilot's show “La Bande Passante” and as part of the celebrations for Manu Dibango’s 80th birthday, Radio France Internationale gathered around the African master a bunch of prestigious guests including the Ethio- Jazz ambassadors : Akalé Wubé. The band decided to play live and on air African Pop Session and Ekedi - both written and recorded by the Cameroonian saxophonist in the early seventies - quickly joined by Manu Dibango and his saxophone. Two live recordings of this session will be taken out this pathbreaking and improvised meeting. A great complicity shortly settled between them and, a few months later, Akalé Wubé invited Manu Dibango on their track Anbessa (The Lion in Amharic) composed as a tribute to him. This collaboration led them to share several stages together in the following years. With this RFI session still in mind, Manu Dibango invited the band to join him in studio for Akalé Wubé to arrange and re-record 5 other unknown nuggets from his catalogue : La Colère des Dieux, Du Bush a Bush, Gentlemen de Camp Yabassi, Otetena Munja and Peaceful Homeland. Unfortunately, The Lion won’t make it to the Parisian band’s studio to record his last solos, fate decided otherwise... Akalé Wubé decides to pay a strong and sincere tribute to this friendship through out the album Anbessa - gathering the entire tracks written for or by Manu Dibango and played by the band - in a special LP.  Music By, Lyrics By – Akalé Wubé (Titel: A3 , B3)Manu Dibango (Titel: A1 , A2 , A4 to B2 , B4) Alto Saxophone – Manu Dibango (Titel: A1 , A3 , B1) Saxophone, Flute – Etienne De La Sayette Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Percussion – Paul Bouclier Guitar – Loïc Rechard Bass – Oliver Degabriele Drums – David Georgelet Recorded By, Mixed By – Pierre Dachery (Titel: A2 to A5 , B2 to B4) Viktor Gourarier (Titel: A2 to A5 , B2 to B4) Mastered By – Fabien Girard Artwork – Fred Chailleux
