Various Artists - Solidarity in Sound (2020)
Stream/Digital: commonandnormal.bandcamp.com
Music. Music has always provided solace for many. Music has rested the mind In the toughest of times, and always been at the forefront for some of the greatest. Times are strange right now. there are feeling of uncertainty, sadness, and anxiety roaming in the air. No one really knows what is going on, and what is to come. But we here at Common and Normal are sure of one thing. That is that music heals, music eases a weary mind and soul, and music brings people together from all over the world. Inspired by the Italian people uniting from their balconies to sing songs of hope and to ease restless minds, we wanted to share some music that we have lovingly created during our time on this planet. Our hope is that during times of crisis and uncertainty, you may find some solace in this music. We sincerely hope you enjoy, kick back, relax and can rest your mind, even if just for a brief moment in time. We as humans will prevail, the sun will shine, and the music will continue to play.
Mr. Käfer - Lost Reflections / Orientation (2020)
Order Vinyl: mrkaefer.bandcamp.com
“Lost Reflections / Orientation” is a split album by Austrian beatmaker and producer Mr.Käfer. The LP consists of two EP’s: “Lost Reflections” (January 2019) and “Orientation” (May 2020).
Austrian producer Mr. Käfer reflects on his North-African roots with new EP “Orientation”.
One year ago we released “Lost Reflections”, a nine track mini-album by Mr. Käfer and Californian saxophonist Gavin Lord on tape and digital. Since then Mr. Käfer finished his music studies in Salzburg (Austria) and moved to Cologne (Germany) where he did an internship at Melting Pot Music. He has released two solo albums / EPs on Tape Invader and Chillhop Music and a collabo project with Flitz&Suppe and DDob.
With his new EP “Orientation” Mr. Käfer is stepping into new directions. Throughout five songs Mr. Käfer reflects on his North-African roots (he is half Austrian, half Algerian) and adds new sounds, vibes and tempi to his music. To orchestrate his vision Mr. Käfer has assembled a full band consisting of Makkako (guitar), Ruff I (double bass) and Christian Höll (Saxophone). Christian Höll has also co-written and co-produced the EP together with Mr. Käfer.
The visuals for “Orientation” have been created by UK artist Tilly Mint – best known for her artworks for Yazmin Lacey and C.Tappin.
“Orientation” will be available as digital EP and on vinyl LP as split album with Mr. Käfer‘s “Lost Reflections” EP.
Manny - Change (2020)
Stream/Digital: urbanwavesrecords.bandcamp.com
Belgian producer Manny is back with a very chill and spacey album called "Change" that takes us on a trip to the moon and back. This EP is inspired by the change of seasons and the change that everything goes through. People, nature and space itself are in a constant state of change and Manny wanted to express this feeling with this album. As usual he combines elements of joy and melancholy to provide us with a unique experience. Manny always brings us chill beats that are just perfect to focus, vibe and nod your head to.

Count Bass D - CBD (2020)
Order Vinyl/CD: countbassd.bandcamp.com
Veteran MC, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Count Bass D’s life has been a musical miracle from the very beginning.
At age four he stepped up to the drum kit at his father’s church and kept a beat. By fourth grade the adolescent musician taught himself triads, inversions, and multiple progressions in all twelve keys on the organ.
After turning 21, Count Bass dropped his 1995 debut Pre-Life Crisis—a self-produced album that features him playing multiple instruments and minimal sampling. From there he laced Vitamin C’s self-titled platinum debut with a verse and produced a “Hey Ladies” remix for the Beastie Boys’ Criterion Collection DVD Video Anthology.
Not satisfied to merely play instruments, the ever-evolving creator immersed himself in sample-based production. 2002 saw the release of his Rolling Stone-reviewed Dwight Spitz and in 2004 he was the only artist besides MF DOOM to rap and produce on DOOM’s concept album Mm.. Food.
Count Bass then began an extended and prolific release schedule in 2009 that includes five full-length records with fellow MC/producer DJ Pocket, a slew of solo albums, and his 2017 Snoop Dogg collaboration “Too Much Pressure,” which was praised by the New York Times for its, “luscious, velvety, soothing, slow funk.”
After 25 years in the game Count Bass D is busier than ever, releasing the instrumental album Edibles in late 2019, the sequel Edibles 2 in early 2020, and his 10th vocal solo album CBD.

This is a real low key one, but a helladope one. Cats will know Born-God from NY mid 90’s crew Now Born Click. His cousin, producer and mentor you will know from the previous release on Herring, Russ Prez – and he is responsible for the dope production on this flavasome EP. This project only had a limited cassette release back in 1994 and is extremely hard to find. So we had to bring it on wax for the headz. All joints transferred from the original studio DATs and included is a previously unreleased banger!! R.I.P. Born-God. Shout out to Thomas Stephansen!

A1 Who’s That On The Track?
