The War on Drugs - Live Drugs (SHQ)

Live Drugs is a collection culled from over 40 hard drives of recorded live shows spread out across years of touring behind multiple albums. It's the first volume to capture the band's live interpretations and a document showcasing the evolution of the band's live show over the years.

Kamaal Williams - Wu Hen (Black Focus)

Wu Hen is the sophomore album from Peckham visionary Kamaal Williams - an invitation to elevate to a higher state. Bringing groove back to the forefront, Wu Hen oscillates between celestial jazz, funk, rap and R&B reinforced with the rugged beat-heavy attitude of grime, jungle, house and garage- a self-styled fusion Kamaal describes as Wu Funk. Multi-talented musician Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (who has worked with Ray Charles, Flying Lotus, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, and Seu Jorge) contributes signature strings, which add vivid colour and rich depth, evoking vintage David Axelrod.
