NEW RELEASES:
MIAMI CONNECTION - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK LP (EXCLUSIVE)
Enjoy The Ride Records, and Drafthouse Films proudly present MIAMI CONNECTION, the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Composed and Produced by Angelo Janotti and performed by Dragon Sound, the soundtrack is finally making its debut outside of the cult classic film.
Written and directed by 9th-degree black belt philosopher / author / inspirational speaker Supreme Grandmaster Y.K. Kim, the film tells the story of the fearless synth-rock band Dragon Sound as they embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice in the streets of Orlando, in order to achieve world peace.

HARD TICKET TO HAWAII - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK LP (EXCLUSIVE)
Enjoy The Ride Records, and Malibu Bay Films proudly present HARD TICKET TO HAWAII, an Andy Sidaris Film. Composed by Gary Stockdale and Kevin Klingler, the musical accompaniment perfectly complements the film.
Directed by the late Andy Sidaris and produced by Arlene Sidaris. HARD TICKET TO HAWAII is filled with bullets, bombs and babes - it's James Bond meets BAYWATCH. An undercover DEA agent and her civilian friend stumble upon a drug trafficking operation, so they enlist the help of their colleagues to go after the vicious drug kingpin.
Available for the first time on any physical format, HARD TICKET TO HAWAII is pressed on four colorful vinyl variants, housed in a 400gsm gatefold jacket, featuring art by Garreth Gibson. All vinyl records include a VHS-themed download card of the film HARD TICKET TO HAWAII, courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment. The Mondo exclusive colorway Split Yellow and Orange vinyl is limited to 200 copies. $26.ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK LP (EXCLUSIVE)
Director Jim Jarmusch, along with his band Sqürl, recorded the soundtrack to ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE and it's safe to say that it's an absolute masterpiece. The songs are soaked in reverb and feedback, recalling Phil Spector's wall of sound at its most intense (check out that cover of Funnel of Love - incredible). The score elements are moody and evocative, and the whole record is transcendent and beautiful.
The Mondo exclusive is pressed on Red and Black Sqürl vinyl. Strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide. $33.
PICK OF THE WEEK:
SPENCER'S PICK OF THE WEEK - The Blue Elephant - Matt Berry (Acid Jazz)
MO'S PICK OF THE WEEK - t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l - Willow feat. Travis Barker (Roc Nation)
Willow Smith (a.k.a. Willow) hasn't stopped making music since she was "whipping her hair back and forth", but the genres have shifted radically. Take, for example, her latest single from a still-unannounced, forthcoming album in which she goes full Paramore, with Travis Barker on the drums. It's an epic throwback, and I can't wait to hear a whole album's worth. Listen here.
SPENCER'S PICK OF THE WEEK - The Blue Elephant - Matt Berry (Acid Jazz)
Porksmith returns to Acid jazz with an amazing brand new LP that's a riotous psychedelic funky pop masterpiece, featuring stunning songs and incredible musicianship. Amazing stuff. Listen here.
