CHRISTOPH DE BABALON - No Favours EP
The dark lord of the dance returns to Sneaker with the 'No Favours' EP, another ominous set of non-conformist shellers rough-cut from obsidian and set in steel. We first broadcast our love of Christoph de Babalon's distinctively destructive, hard-boiled hardcore via the Evident Ware compilation back in 2020, but a longer release has been an ambition of ours ever since.

EUSEBEIA & THE DRIZZLE - FR008 EP
Around the time when Meeting Of The Minds Vol. 7 came out, which had "Togetherness" by me & Eusebeia on it, he sent me some more music for the label, with Awe being one of the tunes he sent. I liked them all but "Awe" was by far my favourite of the bunch and I knew I needed to have that for Future Retro London. When it came down to people I thought would be good for remixing "Awe", Equinox was the first that came to mind. I'm a huge fan of his music, old & new and he had previously done a wicked remix of a tune me & Dwarde had released on the Globex Corp series. Learn More Bass Music / Dubstep / Garage

JON HOPKINS - Contact Note LP
Intricate beat patterns, deep driving basslines, guitar riffs, gorgeous piano melodies and ethereal vocals lushly produced and pristinely mixed give an instant appeal to his music, from the intense 'Circle', the infectious 'Symmetry' and '100' drenched in beautiful vintage techno effects, to the melancholic piano of 'Searchlight' and the crystalline acoustic guitar of 'Glasstop'.

EAST COAST LOVE AFFAIR - Musica Para Todos LP
Our close friend and fellow Scot, now Ibiza resident, Pikes resident DJ and island favourite, For Mankind (Russ Forman) had talked about doing a studio collaboration for some time. Last winter, we finally managed to get in the studio and make some music. Drawn upon our mutual loves of house music, dub and weirdo dance music by the likes of African Head Charge, Larry Heard and Sun Ra. We also added sprinkles of influence from other oddball tracks that make up our more interesting sets. We spent hours just pulling and listening to records from all our collections and talking about music before hitting the studio. Learn More Hip Hop / Beats

BOBBY BAZINI - Waterfallin' (Gilles Peterson Remix) (7" inch)
Rising Canadian guitar dexter Bobby Bazini presents the 7" vinyl edition of one of his latest singles, 'Waterfallin'', which features none other than Gilles Peterson on remix duties. With source material from one of five of Bazini's Spanish guitar debuts - 'Waterfallin'' having emerged from the affective foams and mistings-up of a friend, Connor, whose performance in front of him on the nylon guitar conjured images of a waterfall in Bazini's head - Peterson brings a folktronic verve to Bazini's originally vintage with a vibe more accentuated for the dancefloor Learn More -
KIRK DEGIORGIO - The Statement LP
Kirk Degiorgio is back on Neroli with a follow up of his acclaimed 2023 ‘Robe Of Dreams’ album. In this new record, aptly entitled ‘The Statement’, Kirk widens the jazz/modern jazz palette and it almost feels like an extension of the previous one, but this time exploring more unbeaten paths. Free-jazz drums meet ambient pads, soaring vocal harmonies from Beauty Room vocalist Jinadu meet funky breakbeats, some channeling of classic Lonnie Liston Smith/Marcus Miller era jazz-funk all adds up to another feast of sonic delights from Degiorgio.

ANDROO - Tribute To Jackie Mittoo LP
Hybrid is a word used indiscriminately in our daily lives. This record isn't a hybrid; it's beyond hybrid, post-hybrid, so to speak. Does this phrase sound complicated to you, and are you never overly convinced by music theory and its caricatural aspect? Then forget what you’ve just read and listen to both sides of this record. You'll soon realise that these tracks are deliciously deft, drawing their essence from dub while leaving room for some skillful jazz writing. For those of you intrigued by melodies, the art of musique concrète or the exploration of dub music’s deviant angles, this record will easily find its place on your turntable. Learn More -
BARRINGTON LEVY - Place Too Dark LP
11 song LP, one track in extended mix. Classic LP recorded circa 1980 in the Radics / Scientist era, this is a reissue of the 1997 pressing with 2 bonus tracks, but with a fresh new layout for 2024. Timeless stuff here that is the top shelf of its era. Learn More Worldwide

MARCOS VALLE - Tunel Acustico EP
No one has lived a life quite like Marcos Valle. He became an overnight international sensation, fled a military dictatorship, dodged the Vietnam war draft, had his music sung by Homer Simpson, made enemies with Marlon Brando, and became an unsuspecting fitness guru for multiple generations. But to truly understand the great Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and multi instrumentalist, one must listen to his music. Learn More -
