Max Graef & Andy Hart – Heavy Setters EP
Sleazy Beats’ sublabel Black Ops follows its luscious Rebound Round EP by Ben La Desh with an equally charming 12”. Max Graef and Andy Hart team up for a dusty EP of sample-heavy, feel-good deep …
Beautiful Swimmers – Son
Beautiful Swimmers finally drop their long-awaited debut album. Their name suggests achingly inoffensive nu-disco fashioned for summer terraces and lazy days by the pool (similar perhaps to Poolside’s Balearic indie-house album Pacific Standard Time). …
