King's Kitten

Rainbow Kitten Surprise and all five of its members hail from the mountains of Boone, North Carolina. With chilling harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and introspective lyrics, their genre-defying sound takes influence from artists like Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon as much as Frank Ocean and Schoolboy Q.Independently, they have over 75 million streams across digital platforms, and notched over 45 sold out shows on their first U.S. headline tour.

Bart and Baker are two parisian DJ/Producers, dressed in tuxedos and hi hats with house ( for Bart) & jazz ( for Baker) backgrounds. There are many dj’s playing electronic music but what makes Bart&Baker so unique is that they were the first back in 2005 to be able to mix old vintage samples with new, remix and revive old 1920’s music, scratching 1940’s and 50’s tracks and generally making new club music from a vintage source.

“We wanted to see if there was another way to live in this world,” says Jeff Gorman, one half of the breakout Virginia duo Illiterate Light. “We wanted to throw ourselves out into the wild and see if there was another way to tour and make music.” With their self-titled major label debut, Illiterate Light have managed to do just that, stretching boundaries and upending expectations with a captivating blend of soaring indie rock, swirling psychedelia, and atmospheric folk. Recorded with producers Adrian Olsen (Foxygen, Natalie Prass) and Vance Powell (Jack White, Kings Of Leon, Chris Stapleton), the record captures the band’s remarkable live setup Gorman simultaneously plays guitar with his hands and synth bass with his feet, while his musical partner, Jake Cochran, plays a standup drum kit and the scintillating energy that’s fueled their journey from a small-town organic farm to the star-studded roster of Atlantic Records.

Amazon Review by Stuart Jefferson
If you're a blues fan chances are you're already familiar with (if you don't already own) some/many/all of these albums. But if you don't own these sets (or have only a few) this is a good way to own all 20 albums in one nice, neat box. The sound is the same as the individual albums which is very good for the various periods when these tracks were originally recorded. The jackets are fairly thick cardboard and are reproductions of the original covers. The outer box is also of good quality. There's a 34 page booklet that has a few paragraphs on each disc, and track lists, but no detailed liner notes to really put this music into some kind of perspective, but information on these artists and styles is available in various blues books/encyclopedias and on the internet.
