Released 6th August 2021. SK says: "Bombay Bicycle Club's Jack Steadman returns in his beatmaking guise as Mr Jukes and finds a perfect foil in the form of rapper Barney Artist. On 'The Locket' the Forest Gate MC, a fixture of London's jazz and neo-soul scene who's collaborated with Tom Misch, Jordan Rakei and Alfa Mist, spins cautionary industry tales, reference-heavy hymns of self-confidence and even wistful autobiography over Steadman's chilled, jazzy hip-hop instrumentals and woozy pop co...

Released 3rd September 2021. A bold, quantum leap forward from the critically beloved “Grey Area”, this is hardly music aiming simply for the pop charts; rather, it is turbo charged with the kind of fury and potency, confusion and anxiety that make up the modern experience of being Black, British and female at this particular point in time. This is no mere philosophical exercise, however - the result is her most ambitious and soaring body of work to date, one which operates at the very height...

Released 12th February 2021. We've got some signed 12"x12" prints to give away with purchases, while stocks last. TYRON is a tale of two halves exposing human complexity. Just as with the narrative of his own life, there are always two sides to every story. Side one re-introduces us to the classic hubris, machismo, and braggadocio typical of rap music. Side two takes what you thought you knew about slowthai and flips on its head. ‘feel away’ and ‘nhs’ go some way to dip a toe inside the comp...
