Help stave off the self-isolation induced madness with the latest video from CLBRKS and Morriarchi, as they continue to build the hype for their forthcoming album. On Bonito, the duo have teamed up with fellow Cult affiliate, Capriisun, as he and CLBRKS get to work on some slick down-tempo production from Morriarchi. Combined with the video, which was shot on location in Lisbon, the whole vibe should be nice enough to crush your Covid blues. More news on the album coming soon. Pre-orders for the vinyl version of the album are available now via the shop.

Yet more visual offerings from the debut languid.oceans album, as Obijuan and looms. release a new video for their track, do u. Once again it's dylantheinfamous on production, with a simple but effective drumless loop giving the two MCs all they need to deliver their verses. The video was shot on location in Alicante in Spain. The self-titled LP is available now on all the usual platforms.

Following on from the arrival of the new video from CLBRKS and Morriarchi last week, today we are pleased to reveal more info about their forthcoming album. Microwave Cooking 2000 is set for release on 27 March, accompanied by some particularly sweg and timely artwork, courtesy of Blah photography favourite, Harvey W-F (@hwfpht). As well as the two main stars of the attraction, there will also be some finely selected contributions from Lee Scott, Obijuan, Conrad Mundy, Capriisun and Bisk. Plus the album will be available in a stunning limited edition vinyl version, which is available to order now over at the shop. Stay tuned for more album news coming soon. 

Yesterday we unveiled a brand new cut from CLBRKS and Morriarchi, heralding the imminent arrival of their new album. The MC-producer duo have been moving in similar creative circles for a while now, so a collaborative album was the next logical step and if Camel Blue is anything to go by, then the full project is going to be another triumph for all involved. The video was made by Honey JD over at LOUDHOUSE. More news on the album coming soon.

Last month we released the first official offering from dylantheinfamous, the Birmingham beat-maker who had already had a hand in a few notable Blah projects. The moonloops vol. 1 release proved very popular and we also know you all like new things, so today we have released a cassette version of the project. Featuring 23 tracks, each written, composed and produced by dylan, the run of tapes is limited to 20, so be quick if you want to get your hands on one. You can place your order now over at the shop.

Black Josh continues to build the hype for his latest album, as he kicks off the week with a new video. Locals sees Black Josh once again teaming up with fellow Manny resident, Metrodome, who has concocted a tough breakbeat-style backdrop for Josh to get to work on. The album, Mannyfornia, will be released on Blah shortly. Stay tuned for more news on that coming soon. Also keep an eye out for Josh's new tour, which kicks off this month.

It's been a while since we treated you to some new COTD material, so today we bring you a brand new video from the crew, plus some merch and vinyl news.

OFFIE is the first we've heard from the Cult since their 2018 album, but as you will see and hear, they have lost none of that unbridled raw sweg energy in the interim. Featuring Lee, Milk, Barebase, Shakes, Grubb, Sly Moon and Salar, plus some suitably gritty production from Lee and Wholesome Fun, this is COTD in their purest form.

The video was released to coincide with the new COTD vinyl that has just gone up for pre-order, as well as a new logo tee, which you can see in the video being worn to devastating effect. Both the vinyl and t-shirt are available to order now.

Following on from our recent announcement that Obijuan and looms. had joined the Cult, under their collaborative title, languid.oceans, we are now pleased to unveil their debut album. The self-titled LP weighs in at 11 tracks, with the majority of the production coming from fellow Cult affiliate, dylantheinfamous. If you've heard the first two singles from the album, then you will already know the vibe - dusty lo-fi gems, peppered with soul and jazz, and laced with two contrasting but extremely complementary flows. You can hear the full thing for yourself below and there are also more streaming options here, as well as pre-orders for the vinyl release.
