GREAT NORTH – NEWFOUNDLAND
The much lauded Great North release their much anticipated debut full length album, “Newfoundland”. Recorded by David Parker (Artisan Guns, Bearcat, Teacups) at Little Monster Studios, “Newfoundland” adds energy and sharpened arrangement to the strong melodies of the band’s 2009 EP “Soldiers”. Strains of country, indie, folk and pop are melded into songs that sound like Bruce Springsteen remembering a tumultuous love affair with Gillian Welch between pained sips at a cup of tea. “I’ve never heard alt-country vibes achieved so well by a local band.” Real Groove

MF DOOM – EXPEKTORATION LIVE
“Expektoration Live feat. Big BennKlingon” is the new live album that documents a show in the life of the most mysterious rapper in hip-hop. Lost amid all the talk of imposters and substitutes is the rapper's own innate ability to rock a crowd. Broken up into two acts, complete with intermission, Act 1 draws mainly from 2004's “MM…FOOD” and “Madvillainy”, and after a "Star Trek"-themed intermission (Don't ask. Just listen.), the man behind “Vaudeville Villain”, “Born Like This” and “Unexpected Guests” revisits his 1999 debut solo album “Operation: Doomsday” on Act II.

JIMMY EDGAR – XXX
Lover. Fighter. Prophet. Freak magnet. Time-traveler. Musician, photographer and designer Jimmy Edgar is a wayward star-child streaking across the cosmic dance-floor. What Edgar does with “XXX” essentially and very well is to make your body move. Most of the time he does it alone, but there has been no shortage of willing partners. In addition to an array of remixes for everyone from pop acts like Will Smith and Scott Hardkiss to indie darlings like emoelectro duo Purple Crush he famously turned Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" inside out into a blistering workout from beyond.

For Fans of: Dam-Funk, Prince, Daft Punk
