New This Week: Jorja Smith exclusive, Mary in the Junkyard, Akusmi, David Katz

Light on quantity, heavy on quality, this week’s Edit features three essential new releases. Rough Trade favourites mary in the junkyard deliver the long-awaited Role Model Hermit ahead of this weekend’s almost sold out in-store shows, Akusmi‘s radiant Terra Incognita draws from Afrobeat, Highlife and electronic Afro-pop, and David Katz‘s Dub Revolution charts the Jamaican origins of remix culture through one of music’s most transformative movements.

What else is out this week…

Rough Trade Exclusive

Jorja Smith
What Are the Odds

Rough Trade Exclusive Edition

LP – Yellow ripple vinyl with printed inner sleeve.

Jorja Smith is back and she wants you to be dancing this summer. With sole production from P2J, the album hosts collaborations from multi-genre heavyweights (Grime’s Devlin and Afrobeat icon Wizkid to name a couple).

Smith confidently dances between UKG, 2Step and Funky House in a euphoric answer to summer. Whether on the dancefloor or driving home, for Smith, the sun is shining.​

Gig different.
Live shows that deserve a place in your diary.

Mary is no longer in the junkyard and, thankfully, will be stopping by each of our venues. Tickets are already moving quickly, so don’t leave it too late.

Freshly announced today, Westside Cowboy are heading out on the road too. If there’s a date near you, we’d highly recommend getting involved. These are going to be special.
