Egon pop up record shop at Rappcats
Saturday, March 12, 2016
Noon — 5PM
5636 York Blvd,
Los Angeles CA 90042

On March 12th, Egon’s hosting a record store at Rappcats, selling records from his collection, one-day only. This is the first pop up of 2016, and will be done every quarter, with unique records being made available at each event. For this event, he’s selling records from jazz legend Stanton Davis’s collection, which he and Madlib purchased in 2011 (see NPR’s “Excavating Stanton Davis Storage Unit Funk”) amidst rarities culled just for this event.

Also available will be the entire Now-Again catalog — for a one day discount of 25% less than our normal retail. If you can’t make it to Highland Park, all online Now-Again orders from the Rappcats store placed on 12/12 will receive a 25% discount as well.

Out Now – Connie Price & The Keystones “Wildflowers” (Expanded Edition)

Shipping at our webstore at Rappcats

“Connie Price and the Keystones are to be praised for their originality and brilliance.”
– Lalo Schifrin

Connie Price and the Keystones are the Los Angeles musical group whose 7” releases kickstarted the Now-Again label way back in 2002 – and whose Wildflowers album was the first full length release by a new band on the label. Way back then we called it “cinematic soul” and wouldn’t you know it – the originator of the style, Lalo Schifrin, himself agreed. Seriously. Read the quote above. It’s real.

Wildflowers contained contributions by the Heliocentrics’ producer/drummer Malcolm Catto and Poets of Rhythm/Whitefield Brothers/Karl Hector & The Malcouns founder/guitarist Jay Whitefield. Now that Now-Again is the home to the previous ensembles and more (artist albums by Seu Jorge, Chop, Fabiano do Nascimento and MRR-ADM have come out on the label), it seemed fitting to revisit where it all started, with an expanded version of the album that kickstarted it all.

Includes previously unreleased Malcolm Catto tracks – listen to “Hurricane Malcolm,” below – and tracks previously only available on out of print vinyl.

Announcing: Heliocentrics – From The Deep

Shipping at our webstore at Rappcats

Following Last Transmission, their collaboration with Melvin Van Peebles, the Heliocentrics finish off their trawl through the vaults of tracks recorded at their old digs – Quatermass Studios – with psychedelic tinged funk and jazz instrumentals first heard on Gaslamp Killer’s HELIO X GLK EP, tracks Rolling Stone describes as “sprawling, with percussive patterns that suddenly morph into extraterrestrial sound blasts and opaque, detouring patterns.”

As hinted in one of Egon’s recent Instagram posts, the Heliocentrics are finishing up work on a new album. Watch this space for updates in the coming months.
