Kudos New Releases 31st July (Jazz Room, We Jazz, Deep Medi, Eglo, Editions Mego, Gondwana, Blueberry)

Morning all, it's a bumper packed week down at Kudos HQ this week, so lets have a look at what shipping.

We welcome back Blueberry Records to the Kudos family after a short break, Falty DL's forward-thinking label returning with a compilation featuring the likes of Horsepower ProductionsCousin Cockroachu-Ziq and many more.

We also have a new one this week from Jazz Room records, a nice reissue of Robin Jones Seven's 1972 opus El Maja. Demand for this one is bound to be high so please get your orders in quickly.

Otis Sandsjo returns to We Jazz with his second album of forward-looking liquid jazz, and Research Records bring us the Aussie post-punk DIY almost-pop tracks of Jay & Yuta

We also have releases from Chris Watson & Georgia Rodgers on SN Variationschra on Editions Mego and more worth investigating.

Fans of Gondwana Records are in for a treat this week with an Orange vinyl reissue of Go Go Penguin's 2014 Mercury Music Prize nominated v2.0 as well as a Go Go Penguin T-Shirt and a couple of highly limited 7"s from Go Go Penguin and fellow Mercury nominees Portico Quartet.

12"s this week come from Destiny 71z on Eglo and Kaiju on Deep Medi. Both releases worthy of a big "TIP!"

"Unbroken Dreams of Light"
V/A Blueberry Records 2020
I started Blueberry Records in 2013 to help launch unknown artists into the world. I had so much help early on in my career, I felt it was my duty to share my platform. BBR001 and BBR002 were the catapult for BRRD and the label, what followed was a series of lucky moments. Releasing records from hero's of mine like Todd Osborn and Dego was truly a gi...

The affection that the two share for UK DIY is immediately apparent in the ramshackle approach and offbeat wryness of humour employed throughout.
