Nautilis - Are You An Axolotl - VINYL LP

Various Artists - The Well The Independent Project Records Collection II [COMPACT DISCS] Special Ed date 01/09/2026

Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. Axolotes Mexicanos have been around for over ten years now. When this adventure started everyone knew for sure they were going to mark the identity of a generation of music. 4ever only confirms what we already know. Once again, they give us those incredible trademark punk hits, more powerful than ever, with the best choruses they've written to date. Because they are who they are, and because they can, they throw caution to the wind and go for broke several times. Like that epic ballad that is InchIncendioInch. Like that exercise in luminous jazz that sounds like a tribute to InchLa La LandInch called Inchmiau ? miauInch. Like that exquisite and summery bossa nova that is InchAl atardecerInch. The Japanese-accented calypso pop we get on InchHimawariInch and the J-Pop on InchPlaza del solInch. It's amazing.

Kaloli is the debut full-length LP from Kampala's darkest electro-percussion group Nihiloxica. The album marries the propulsive Ugandan percussion of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble with technoid analog synth lines and hybrid kit playing from the UK's pq and Spooky-J. The result is something otherworldly. Kaloli journeys through the uncharted space between two cultures of dance music, where the expression of traditional elements mutates into something more sinister and nihilistic. Recorded directly after a concert supporting Aphex Twin, Kaloli captures the vitality of Nihiloxica's show-stopping live performances and magnifies it with pq's honest, powerful production. For five days in September 2019 in Bradford, Nihiloxica laid down the bulk of the album eight synthetic abstractions of the traditional folk-rhythms of Uganda. At the heart of every song is a groove, a drum pattern to be explored and developed. Each takes us through a different rhythmic territory Busoga from the east of Uganda, Bwola from the north, Gunjula from the central region, Buganda.
