The 13-track compilation is characteristically genre-fluid, spanning compositions and collaborations from emerging bands, producers and songwriters that have been carefully selected by the boutique label. With the label releasing one 3-tracker single every other day from Friday 13th January 2022 until 25th January, when the entire opus is out on all streaming platforms. Previous compilations have been a disclosure of what's brewing in the UK Underground, previously featuring early tracks from otta, Khazali, Folly Group, heka, Butch Kassidy, comfort and Lynks, as well as solo debuts from members of Sorry, black midi, PVA and Goat Girl.

As the seventh edition of compilation series, those in the know look forward to it every year, with Slow Dance being praised by Dazed as ‘cutting edge’ players at the forefront of the London DIY music scene and a ‘creative powerhouse’ by Pitchfork. 2019’s compilation was described by The Quietus as a ‘testament to the label’s commitment to multi-genre excellence’.

Karma Sheen, an International Hindustani Classical Psychedelic rock group based in London. The band is spearheaded by Sameer Khan, who from a very young age had been exposed to the Hindustani classical music tradition of Pakistan. In particularly the Shaam Chaurasi Gharana (School of Thought). Soon after he began formal training from Ustaad Latafat Ali Khan, the master of the Khayal and Ghazal forms. With the help of his companions, they create an eclectic mix of 60's/70's psychedelia whilst over and under, runs through Hindustani classical sounds and Sufi inspired lyrics that complete the psychic fuzz toned sound that is Karma Sheen. Ready to deliver their music to the rest of the world, enticing the masses into psychedelic trips, deep bass driven rhythmic beats with a force and demand that calls to the mountain tops. Meet them there. Karma Sheen’s Raag and Roll sound effectively combines the energy, passion and devotion found in both Hindustani Classical music and Rock n Roll, with an energy that is carried into their live shows that just keeps getting better and better.

Standing alone in the cold unforgiving north, militant DIY duo, northern noisemakers Polevaulter toil and labour to explore the limits of underground achievement. Known the country over for their hypnotic live performances home and away, the pair have built an interest from nothing few can argue with.

The wide sonic spectrum the two create is grounded in the marriage of seismic bass and thundering electronic beats, garnished with haunting loops and clips from the infinite spectrum of doomed culture. The words which are yelped and brayed atop the musical landscape are boastful, accusing, repellent and inviting, questioning and ridiculing masculinity, sexuality, toxic culture, the music industry and the miserable reality of England.

Mary Anne’s Polar Rig is a guitar/producer duo coming straight from the underground rock scene of Malmö, Sweden. With a sound heavily influenced by the 90’s scene as well as the new wave of female fronted rock, they play a sort of “fuzzed out” pop where the dynamic vocals together with the noisy jangly guitars are in focus.

MAPR take their name from a mining-station (now hotel) on the Arctic island of Svalbard, an identification that implies a little bit of toughness, an ability to take a few knocks and keep on rolling. You can certainly hear something of that in their sound – the Malmö duo, Malin Hofvander and Harald Ingvarsson, serve up rough-and-tumble rock and roll that can handle anything the world has to throw at it

**Bad Mojos**

What kind of noise like this comes from such a picturesque, wholesome town like Thun? The noise of three men escaping Thun's sterility!

Formed in 2015 via SMS, these Swiss men cut their way through European audiences on the regular all while releasing their early material on Kink Records (DE) and No Front Teeth (UK). When word of their ski mask theatrics and brash sound caught wind to Voodoo Rhythm, Reverend Beat-Man whisked them to the Toulouse based chambers of Swampland Studios to record what you're now reading about. Lo-Spider is a Jedi Master! The current unhinged punk rock movement in Switzerland grows further with the chainsaw-on-metal sounding Bad Mojos partnering with Voodoo Rhythm Records for the release of their first album, I Hope You OD. This is three-chord punk rock and with absolutely stupid lyrics and a drummer who can barely sit still on his throne. lo-fi punk rock that your parents and neighbors are sure to hate!

**Los Pepes**

Los Pepes – The loudest powerpop band on earth…the Motörhead of powerpop! No hit wonder 60s and 70s garage pop melodies drowning in a wall of punk rock guitar. Good Vibrations records served up with a Testors punch in the face. Songs about love, antipathy and getting up to no good. They’ll stick in your head and leave your ears ringing. Cutting out a reputation for being a relentless high-energy punk rock whirlwind live, Los Pepes have also left a bunch of 7”s and three LPs in their wake - “For Everyone” - 2014 “All Over Now” - 2016 and “Let’s Go!” - 2017 all via Wanda Records. Formed in London by Ben Perrier some years back, Los Pepes is an international organisation. Made up of a strange bunch of misfits from the four corners of the world, from the UK to Japan to Brazil to Poland. Born thousands of miles apart but all with the shared experience of growing up hooked on punk and not giving a fuck, Los Pepes is living proof that rock and roll is a global force of nature. So, if you too like rock and roll, get with it and join Los Pepes whenever they hit town. You need it!
