Here’s a mix of various new releases and reissues so far in 2020, check out the newsfeed for more info.

There’s Indonesian jaipong, Israeli acid-techno, Turkish electric saz, Swiss avant-garde electronica, Algerian Synth Raï, as well as Bollywood breaks and bass (forthcoming on Extinct Melodies in the Bollywood Warehouse). Picks around Europe include a Baris K dub for Mr Bongo, of recent release Kit Sebastian; Chassol’s sublime alt-pop; and the trippy, Amazonian cut from Rush Hour’s recent compilation of Sassy J picks.

The UK is represented by hip-hop from Jungle Brown, Eglo’s new signing Destiny 71z and the MIC label’s new remixes of Greek leftfield jazz duo, Kolida Babo. Two of WTM’s favourite labels – Isle of Jura and Left Ear Records – are included, with the former’s second Transmissions compilation and the latter’s reissued work of Berlin synth-wave trio, I.A.O. and the aspirational boogie oddity by Rahjan James. Enjoy!
