Rhonda release their 3rd album!

'You Could Be Home Now' will be out January 11th via popup-records.

In 2019 Rhonda return with a record that asks questions instead of giving you simple answers.

The new album 'You Could Be Home Now' is an intimate, rough snapshot in time that allows the eccentricity of Morricone's or John Barry's film scores and the dirt of Punk to shine out at the same time. The band's sound is borne by soul and warmth. It knows of dusty streets, foreign shadows and familiar light, it is aware of sweetness and gloom alike.

'You Could Be Home Now' is an honest record that doesn't pursue a scheme but instead grew slowly and just is what it is.

'You Could Be Home Now' will be released January 11th through popup-records!

Album-Tour kicks off the same day, starting in Cologne.

New Air Liquide EP after 14 Years out very very soon!

The legendary Berlin duo is back and returns to their famous ’90s Love Parade roots.

Anyone who’s delved into the recorded history of Love Parade will remember those iconic, haunting lines from the Live At Love Parade ’94 mix CD: 'This Is Not A Mind Trip, This Is A Body Journey'. At this point, Air Liquide‘s This Is Not A Mindtrip quickly entered the canon of classic Berlin anthems. With its snarling and spiralling bass line, jittering drums and, of course, that infamous phrase, it became one of the pin-up tracks of Love Parade’s ’90s moment.

Now, Air Liquide (aka Dr Walker and Jammin' Unit) are throwing back to the track on the 'This Is A Mind Trip' EP for Irakli’s label, Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound.

The EP will be released October 26th and officially presented at STAUB on October 27th - a legendary daytime techno party in Berlin also run by Irakli.

1st single and video of upcoming Tillmans Powell EP just out!

The two artists have teamed for an awesome collab to be released on XL Records November 16th.

XL Recordings will release 'Spoken By The Other', the first EP by Powell Tillmans, on November 16th. It's a collection of recordings from two of the most interesting artists in Europe, and one whose short length belies its radical tenderness, sonic language and political ambition.

The two met at the Tate Modern, where Tillmans was programming a series of performances to coincide with his 2017 exhibition. Quickly the conversation turned to talk of a full collaboration, and following Tillmans's video for Powell's track Freezer (released on Powell's very own Diagonal Records), over the summer they got into the studio to begin making music.

'Spoken By The Other' will be out November 16^th via XL Recordings and can be pre-ordered here.
