Third album from the Brighton bluesmeisters that refuse to compromise. Americana? Nope. Blues-rock extrapolation? Uh - no. London Town legends? Maybe. Slide guitar, acoustic bass and on-the-money drums? Yup. The RumBoogie Allstars are Carlos (guitars), Nik (bass, piano, harmonica) and Nick Pearly Gates (drums, percussion and plenty of cowbell).

Scottish producer Craig Armstrong scored countless soundtracks to much acclaim during the '90s and into the 2000s. His soundtrack work was in fact so successful that many big-name artists, such as U2 and Madonna, began courting him, while he simultaneously pursued a solo career as a down-tempo electronica producer beginning with The Space Between Us in 1998. Though his collaborations are too numerous to list, Armstrong's most successfully paired with film director Baz Luhrman, producing big-selling soundtracks for Romeo + Juliet (1998) and Moulin Rouge (2001).

Les Revenants is an original soundtrack album by Mogwai, for the French TV series of the same name. Mogwai were initially contacted by producers of the television show, and asked to begin producing music after reading only a few translated scripts. An extended play of the soundtrack, Les Revenants EP, was released in 2012, and the full album was released on 25 February 2013.

Wonderland plays the full breadth of the duo’s wide open aesthetic, taking their Testpressing series of dancefloor lashes - issued on 12” between 2013-2015 - as the diving board for an innovative, reverie-like album forming a parallel dancefloor narrative where the spirits of mid ‘90s jungle and digital dancehall are made plasmic, malleable, and syncretised with industrial and ambient techno sound design.

The Altered Five Blues Band announces new album, Ten Thousand Watts, out September 6, 2109 via Blind Pig Records. Sure to be a wildly popular album, the Altered Five Blues Band recorded over four days in Nashville, TN, and produced by three-time Grammy winner, Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi.) The 12 tracks stir up a thunderstorm of original, roots-rockin’ music.

Hildur Guonadóttir composed the 17-track soundtrack to director Todd Phillips’ original, standalone origin story Joker which explores the world of—and according to - Arthur Fleck. Indelibly portrayed by three-time Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix, Arthur is a man facing the cruelty and outright scorn of society, along with the indifference of a system that allows him to spiral from vulnerability into depravity. Caught in a cyclical existence teetering on the precipice of reality and madness, one bad decision brings about a chain reaction of escalating, ultimately deadly, events.

A composer, producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist who has charted internationally with both his electronic music and his film scores, the Netherlands' Tom Holkenborg is also known as Junkie XL. Though he began his career as musician/producer in bands such as Weekend at Waikiki and Nerve in the late '80s and early '90s, he made his name in big beat music with the Junkie XL moniker in the late '90s. His cover of Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation," released as "Elvis vs. JXL," topped the charts in over a dozen countries in 2002. In the meantime, he found work scoring the occasional video game or film, a sideline that picked up substantially toward the end of the 2000s. By the mid-2010s, he was composing music for such blockbusters as Mad Max: Fury Road, Deadpool, and, with frequent partner Hans Zimmer, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
