OutKast – ATLiens (1996). Andre 3000 and Big Boi take Southern hip hop into stranger territory, with spacey production, heavy bass and a futuristic feel. One of the defining records of 90s Atlanta rap. Get the US first pressing LP at our Islington shop.

Dinked Edition 442: Kate Nash - Cailín

Eleven years in the making, Kate Nash’s sixth studio album Cailín is a love letter to her Irish heritage. Produced by KoOoLkOjAk and recorded on the west coast of Ireland at Stiúideo Cuan, under the watchful eye of pioneering trad musician Charlie Lennon, Cailín is a raw, raucous album combining traditional Irish sounds with punk energy, nods to hip hop production and Nash’s knack for a killer hook.
