New Entry: Launder Releases New Single "Intake"


L.A dream pop/shoegaze musician John Cudlip aka Launder has released his new single "Intake".

The song is taken from his forthcoming debut full-length album 'Happening', set to be released on July 15 through Ghostly International. Pre-order your copy here.

“‘Intake’ carries the rhythm of someone and something new, anticipating all the best and all the worst,” Launder’s John Cudlip explained in a statement. “These themes inspired a faster tempo and ascending chords. I let this track be indulgent in all the best ways and really leaned into all of the cleaner guitar sounds and single note guitar interplay similar to the early Launder songs. For those reasons, this track is a total joy for me and was a lot of fun to rehearse and record.”

New Entry: Headman Premieres New Single "No Surprises"


Swiss-born visual artist/DJ/producer and Relish Label owner Headman (aka  Robi Insinna) has premiered his new single "No Surprises".

This is the first single from the new Headman album. The track features vocals by Silver Jan and a remix by Zillas on Acid. It’s the first new material produced since the self-titled Robi Insinna mini album and SASM, the new band project with Douglas J McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb, released on Industria in 2018.

Robi Insinna has been releasing music since his debut in 2001. At the same time he started Relish Recordings, with the aim to re-create a vinyl label similar to the records he was buying at that time, obscure post–punk, new wave and disco records. Very inspired by the British Balearic scene and the Italian afro scene, he created Manhead as an opposite to Headman. The trademark Bass was always very present in Headman production.

Watch: De Lux Return With New Single/Video "New Summers"


Los Angeles based post-disco/dance-punk duo De Lux have returned with their new single "New Summers", alongside an accompanying music video.

The song is out today,  June 21, and is taken from their forthcoming fourth studio album ‘Do You Need A Release?’, which will be out on Sept 23rd via via Innovative Leisure. Get it here.

After writing, performing, recording, and producing three albums themselves, they’ve traded their typically hermetic recording process at their Burbank studio for a more collaborative experience. This time Sean and Isaac invited the members of their live band to record to tape at Jonny Bell’s Jazzcat Studio in Long Beach, CA. While De Lux has always been able to write immediately danceable and quirky pop songs with a strong dose of wit, these recordings get the sonic boost they deserve to match the quality and camaraderie of their intense and acclaimed live performances.
