Spike – Orange Cloud Nine
When Phil at Golf Channel sent me Juju &amp; Jordash's &quot;Unleash The Golem&quot; 12&quot; he tucked in an early pressing of another forthcoming LP he thought I'd like... major understatement.

Afrobeat is another source of endless comps (some of my favs being &quot;The World Ends&quot; &amp; &quot;Bambara Mystic Soul&quot;) but what sets this one apart is it's taken from later and skews more towards proper disco.

Their recent full length Techno Primitivism is one of my favorites of the year. The guys are about to release part 2 of 4 in an ongoing series for Golf Channel that, in their words, "deals with the Holocaust, Israel, victimhood and aggression; a concept that wa

Pye Corner Audio has had a great year; the first two volumes of his Black Mill Tapes were reissued on vinyl by Type and he recently dropped another solid full-length Sleep Games on Ghost Box.
