scritti politti – cupid & psyche 85

release: 10th july 2026

available on double vinyl / cd

Widely regarded as a masterpiece of subversively intelligent synth-pop, Scritti Politti’s sophomore album Cupid & Psyche 85 remains a groundbreaking milestone in modern music production. Frontman Green Gartside and keyboardist David Gamson notoriously deconstructed the genre by blending ultra-glossy, state-of-the-art machine-funk with complex philosophical concepts, creating a blueprint for self-aware pop that has influenced generations of artists from Janet Jackson to Charli XCX. This definitive deluxe reissue is meticulously remastered by Chris Athens and includes a treasure trove of remastered rarities and alternate mixes pulled straight from the band’s archives. Complete with insightful new sleeve notes penned by Gartside and Gamson themselves, this essential celebration of 1980s sophisti-pop perfection is available as a comprehensive single CD or a premium double LP set.

hot chip – the warning – 20th anniversary

release: 17th july 2026

available on double vinyl / cd

Rewind to the year 2006 when British music was enthralled by guitar bands in winklepickers and waistcoats. And then along came Hot Chip’s sophomore album The Warning like a kaleidoscopic bolt from the blue, turning a generation of indie fans onto the hedonistic pleasure of repetitive beats. A brilliant statement of intent, the record was well ahead of the zeitgeist, spending 17 weeks in the UK charts and earning a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination thanks to seminal tracks like Over & Over and Boy from School. Inspired by the mid-2000s New York scene but even more indebted to the London club underground, the album was characterized by ambitious genre blends. As the band reflects, “Making this record was definitely us trying to defy expectations and do something exciting.” This genre-defying electronic indie masterpiece is now available to experience across two physical formats: a standard CD and a vinyl edition.

The Kinks hit a fierce, arena-ready stride with Low Budget, a record that marked a pivotal late-career high point and captured a tougher sound that resonated massively with American audiences. Standing tall as one of the band’s strongest U.S. releases, it remains a defining rock staple of their late ’70s era. This 2026 edition has been newly remastered from the original production sources, delivering improved clarity, balance, and dynamic range while faithfully preserving the gritty character of the original mix. Iconic tracks including (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman, Catch Me Now I’m Falling, and the driving title track all benefit from a more detailed and focused presentation. This revitalized classic is now available across two physical formats: a CD and a vinyl edition.
