In January 2016, a 21-year-old Jacquees confidently stepped into the spotlight and officially shifted the climate of modern R&B. Released as a mixtape hosted by DJ Spinz, Mood wasn't just a collection of songs-it was a bold sonic manifesto. Merging classic, unbridled Southern R&B vocals with the heavy, localized bounce of Atlanta's dominant trap scene, the project gave a generation of fans their definitive late-night soundtrack. Now, a decade after it's initial release, the foundational classic is finally making it's official debut on all major streaming services, as well as arriving on CD and vinyl for the very first time. Produced primarily by Nash B, Mood captured an artist on the precipice of superstardom. Backed by executive support from Birdman and the Cash Money Records family, the project features a powerhouse lineup of mid-2010s royalty, including standout guest verses from Kevin Gates, DeJ Loaf, Rich Homie Quan, Kirko Bangz, and Young Scooter. For years, Mood lived in the digital underground of mixtape websites and YouTube rips, passed around by R&B purists like a treasured secret. Whether you're streaming it on the go, spinning the rich analog grooves of the vinyl, or popping the CD into your car, this release honors the timeless body of work that cemented Jacquees as the King of R&B.

The idea for a series of recordings devoted to the music of Robert Schumann arose from Pierre and Theo Fouchenneret's work on the Sonatas for violin and piano, and from a desire to expand the project by exploring the rest of his chamber music as well as his concertos - for Schumann treats the orchestra in a very chamber-music-like manner in his concertante works. Following the complete chamber music of Johannes Brahms, recorded on the same label, Pierre and Theo decided to launch this Schumann Collection, with the support of their long-standing collaborators in the field of chamber music: the Strada Quartet, Victor Julien-Laferriere, Florent Pujuila, Philibert Perrine, Felix Roth, Caroline Sypniewski, Sarah Fouchenneret, and Hortense Cartier-Bresson. All are soloists, quartet players and chamber musicians who also perform with orchestras, driven by a shared passion for Schumann's music, which lends itself particularly well to a series of live albums: there is a warmth, an urgency and a passion in the concert experience that are essential to performing this music well. Each concert was recorded by the b. records team with a view to this ambitious complete collection that you now hold in your hands. UPC: 3770005527976Label: B. RecordsRelease Date: 10.2.26Format: CD

24-year-old Tuva Bergenheim is a Swedish drummer, composer, and bandleader from Stockholm who, with her debut album Skargardsjazz (Archipelago Jazz), creates a dreamy and melancholic sound where Swedish jazz meets pop, visa, and Nordic folk music.Unlike other Swedish jazz artists, there are no influences here of traditional vocal jazz or the American standard repertoire. As a drummer, composer, and lyricist, she shapes a personal sound that defies expectations - dreamy, melancholic, and a unique blend of old Sweden and modern jazz.

Grammy-nominated pianist/composer Michael Eckroth makes his long-awaited SteepleChase debut as a leader with Contrafacto, joined by veteran bassist Ron McClure and dynamic drummer Steve Johns. Long recognized on the label as a versatile sideman, Eckroth steps forward with a program that highlights his refined touch, modern harmonic sense, and deep grounding in the jazz tradition. The trio explores originals and reimagined forms with clarity, swing, and understated fire, allowing Eckroth's melodic imagination to unfold in conversation with McClure's seasoned authority and Johns's responsive drive. Contrafacto introduces a mature, distinctive pianist whose writing and improvising balance structural elegance with spontaneity, marking a compelling new chapter in the SteepleChase piano trio lineage.

Rob Scheps returns to SteepleChase with Blue States, a vivid new chapter for the long-running Core Tet and a striking evolution from his 2019 release Comencio (SCCD 31866). Drawing on the same sharp instincts praised in earlier reviews-his 'big-toned' authority on tenor and the 'loose, inviting allure' of his soprano-Scheps expands his palette here with an unexpected but compelling front line of trumpet, soprano saxophone, and flute. The result is a sound world both airy and electric, shaped by Scheps' gift for uncovering overlooked gems: music by Shunzo Ohno, Carla Bley, Sam Jones, Ronnie Boykins, and John Abercrombie, all reimagined with the Core Tet's signature clarity and drive. Pianist Jamie Reynolds and bassist David Kingsnorth provide luminous support, while drummer Victor Jones adds fire and finesse. Blue States captures Scheps at a moment of transformation-bold, deeply musical, and unmistakably his own. UPC: 716043400423Label: SteeplechaseRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: CD
Spike Wilner makes a striking SteepleChase debut as a leader with Bird's Words, an album that distils the essence of Charlie Parker into something both reverent and freshly alive. Recorded in Paris with longtime colleagues Dmitry Baevsky, Yves Brouqui, Paul Gill, and Joe Strasser, the session embraces bebop's original discipline: concise, melodic soloing and a shared commitment to speaking Bird's language without modern embellishment. Wilner-steeped in the lineage of Walter Davis Jr., Jaki Byard, and Barry Harris-brings clarity and deep historical insight to every track. The band's tight interplay, crisp articulation, and unforced authority make Bird's Words a vibrant homage that reclaims the art of the concise, meaningful solo. A joyful celebration of Parker's enduring legacy. UPC: 716043402021Label: SteeplechaseRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: CD
SteepleChase originally released in 1984 this Shirley Horn's live tribute to songwriter Curtis Lewis (1918-1987), who was one of the first Black composers and lyricists to emerge on the Broadway scene in the early 1940s.Shirley Horn (1934-2005), long connected to Lewis's music, brings deeply personal readings of 'He's Gone Again,' 'Old Country,' and 'Roaming Lover,' before unfolding the dramatic, story-like suite The Garden of the Blues, quoting Lewis's own linking prose. Her trio-Charles Ables (bass) and Steve Williams (drums)-provides subtle, breathing support, leaving space for Horn's unhurried phrasing and emotional clarity.Newly remastered in 24-bit/96 kHz and pressed on 180g vinyl, this edition restores the concert's warmth, poise, and luminous detail.'Shirley Horn has one of the most alluring voices in jazz - she let's the lyrics melt into a violet haze as she slowly unwraps the melody - and she's an exceptional pianista wonderful, moving combination of voice and song.'

God of War is Douglas Dulgarian (tagabow), Scott Turner (hooky) and Sam Silbert (hooky, circle of fire).It's 2007. You're watching your older cousin play SSX tricky. How is he such a monster at this game. Dude for real what the fuck. Such style, such finesse. I know he smokes weed. Should I tell Aunt Vicky? No no no- that would ruin this moment. He is racking up points that were formerly unheard of, and with such grace. There's no expression on his face. And considering that he just sat open mouthed at the dinner table staring into nothing for forty minutes, this revelation is more than remarkable. It seems as if he has always existed in this moment.

'Ghost', the Sophomore album by The Haunt, is a triumphant victory lap, fresh on the heels of their debut album 'New Addiction'. The South Florida alt-rock band led by the sister and brother duo of Anastasia (vocals) and Maxamillion Haunt (guitar/production) are heavily influenced by the dark pop and modern rock forged by bands such as Bring Me the Horizon, Evanescence, and Paramore. Produced by John Feldmann (Avril Lavigne, The Used, Sleeping With Sirens) and Kevin Thrasher (Escape The Fate, Jelly Roll), 'Ghost' balances smoky, soulful and infectious vocals with cinematic soundscapes, underpinned by shuddering rock, glitchy synth transmissions, and gothic electronic nuances that conjure a singular vision equally steeped in pop noir and controlled industrial chaos. Pressed on premium 180g vinyl.

Following on from 2022’s EBM, a collaboration with electronic producer Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass, on Surface, Echo & Sound, Editors have found themselves somewhere new entirely. When the band regrouped in summer 2025 to work on a follow-up, after three albums written and recorded very much as in-the-studio projects, Editors felt they wanted to go back to a more natural approach, something that harked back to their earliest days, sat in a practice room in Stafford, facing each other as they worked through songs together.
Like on last year’s solo record There is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light, frontman Tom Smith took a similar stripped back, acoustic-based approach to the new Editors material, bringing a selection of songs to the band for them to play together, trying different things out, and seeing where they went. In terms of creating the record, “It was a very productive summer,” says Smith. “The sun was out for the most part, we were in greenest Gloucestershire, not far from where I live, on this innocuous little industrial estate – it was pretty much the opposite of being in Berghain!”

Call it serendipity or genius, but when four legends of Texas music pooled their talents in December 1989, a new sound was born: the Texas Tornados. Freddy Fender. Doug Sahm. Augie Meyers. Flaco Jimenez. Four careers' worth of Texas music royalty, united on a single stage - and on October 16, 1990, just one year into their run, they took that stage at Austin City Limits and delivered a performance for the ages.Fender was already a mega-star behind "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" and "Before the Next Teardrop Falls." Sahm and Meyers had built their legend with the Sir Douglas Quintet in San Antonio, combining psychedelia, Gulf Coast blues, and spicy conjunto into a sound that shook up the pop charts with "She's About a Mover." And Flaco Jimenez, alongside his father and brother, had helped invent an entire genre - blending Mexican Norteño music with German and Czech polkas and waltzes into something completely his own. Together, they were unstoppable. The 19-song set sweeps through Tex-Mex, blues, country, rock and roll, and conjunto with the loose, joyful energy of a band still reveling in the magic of what they'd created. From the bilingual tenderness of "She Never Spoke Spanish to Me" to the barn-burning finale of "She's About a Mover" and "96 Tears, " every song crackles with the chemistry of four old friends who knew exactly how lucky they were to be sharing that stage.This Tex-Mex revue created a raucous, infectious, danceable sound that ranks as an all-time Austin City Limits favorite. Now on vinyl for the first time, it sounds exactly like it was always meant to.

Hip-hop pioneer Ice-T joins forces with North Carolina underground veteran MC Homeless for an explosive new collaborative EP that bridges coasts and generations. The project showcases one original collaboration alongside two reimagined classics from the vault, all produced by acclaimed beatsmith Marc Live (known for his work with Kool Keith, Raw Breed, and Analog Bros). The centerpiece track "Goons & Goblins" finds both MCs in peak form, delivering sharp social commentary wrapped in hard-hitting street narratives. MC Homeless brings his signature electric energy and unconventional wordplay, while Ice-T demonstrates why he remains one of hip-hop's most authentic voices, offering unflinching perspectives on street life and social media culture. The EP also features reworked versions of "Feds In My Rearview" and "Red or Blue," pulling unreleased MC Homeless verses from the Legends Recordings archives. The massive posse cut "Red or Blue" assembles an impressive roster of West Coast talent including Breeze, C.O.C., Freddie Demarco, Glasses Malone, King Tee, M. Dot Taylor, and Young Ham.

Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn you: “Happiness fucks you.” It's a lesson that's been writ large into her gritty, outsider songwriting for years, but never so powerfully as on her 2016 album, Puberty 2. “Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than the other,” she says. “When you realize you can't have one without the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just waiting for that other wave.” On Puberty 2, that tension is palpable: a beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which one of modern music’s defining voices came fully into focus.
2026 marks the ten-year anniversary of that landmark album, whose tracklist contains fan favorites “Your Best American Girl” and “I Bet on Losing Dogs.” To celebrate the occasion, Mitski and Dead Oceans will release a limited-edition reissue of Puberty 2 on Forest Shadow vinyl, due for release on October 30, 2026. Puberty 2 will also be celebrated with a digital deluxe version, featuring bonus tracks from the original Japanese CD — longtime fan favorite covers of “Fireproof” by One Direction and “I’m a Fool to Want You” by Frank Sinatra.
