Kelan Phil Cohran & Legacy - African Skies

“Stones Throw Records debuts new imprint Listening Position with the long-awaited reissue of Kelan Phil Cohran & Legacy’s spiritual jazz masterpiece African Skies.

African Skies is a holy grail record for vinyl collectors. The thousands who’ve long sought their own copy will welcome this reissue as the definitive version of this profound recording.

INSTORE EVENT✨
We are incredibly excited for this one!
will play live here at the shop on June 18th at 6 PM.

Recently signed to Ellie is easily one of folk’s most exciting new artists, hailing from County Meath, Ireland.
We will be celebrating her debut album, ‘Time of Fallow’, which will be available for preorder or signing at the event.

“Ellie’s music weaves a rich, diverse, and tender landscape, traversing raw and intuitive explorations of intimacy and loss, friendship and q***r identity. Writing mainly with her voice and acoustic guitar, her songs range from cyclical, meditative, two-chord reveries to big-hearted grungy confessionals. In the vein of some of Ireland’s greatest talents, such as Sinead O’Connor and Dolores O’Riordan, O’Neill is a singer and songwriter of astonishing purity.”

Ellie has toured widely across Ireland and the UK, supporting Adrianne Lenker and John Francis Flynn, and performing at festivals including Pitchfork London and Green Man.

All tickets are available on our DICE page now, or for more info, check our blog on our website.

We’re delighted to host a special summer party to celebrate the hotly anticipated album ‘Maraviglia’ by the great . Gabriele will be hitting the decks with some VERY special guests (TBA) from 6 PM till late. You’ll be able to buy the record a week early and meet Gabriele in person.

Hot off the heels of last year’s beautifully curated compilation for Mr Bongo, “Ritmo Italiano: Unspoken Sounds of Italian Tamburo” - ‘Maraviglia’ is inspired by late 70s Italian disco and global rhythms. The record blends Mediterranean warmth, Afro-Caribbean percussion, and jazz sensibility, with one foot firmly on the dancefloor. Recorded live to tape in an analog studio in southern Italy, with heavy percussion, Rhodes, Hammond, and a full brass section, the album delivers an organic, joyful sound built for both deep listening and global dance floors.

**it’s FREE ENTRY, everyone is welcome.** will be fully open, and you can enjoy the music over our house system from the outdoor patio and throughout.

RSVP on DICE or preorder either the black or the Indies Yellow edition of Gabriele Poso - ‘Maraviglia’ here:
