    “To make a long story short, I will only say something conclusive: EM Records is researching a hypothesis that ‘the spirit may reside in the musical form itself.’”That’s Kōki Emura, founder and guiding force behind Osaka’s EM Records, offering something like a thesis during a recent conversation with In Sheep’s Clothing’s Phil Cho. Since 1998, Emura has followed that instinct across genres, countries, formats and eras, seeking out music that holds weight.

    In the loose canon of reggae films, Heartland Reggae is often passed over in favor of classics like The Harder They Come, Rockers, and Countryman. Released in 1980 and assembled from concert footage shot in 1978, the film doesn’t follow a narrative per se, but the moment in history seeps into every frame. During the opening sequence, the title appears in flames. What follows never cools off.

    Wewantsounds is in the middle of a heavy year. The Paris-based label has been moving fast, resurfacing rare and remarkable records from around the world. Already in 2025, they’ve brought back Meiko Kaji’s Yadokari and Roy Haynes’s Hip Ensemble, and announced an upcoming reissue of Warda’s We Malo. They’ve compiled a killer set of electro-Raï cassette cuts with Sweet Rebels, unearthed live heat from Manu Dibango, and spotlighted Japanese funk, boogie, and city pop with Tokyo Bliss.

    On September 5, 2001, a performance of John Cage’s Organ²/ASLSP began in a small medieval church in Halberstadt, Germany. Nothing sounded. The opening stretch consisted of a planned pause that lasted 17 months, time measured not in notes but in waiting. For Cage, silence wasn’t an absence. It framed whatever came next. When the first tone finally emerged in February 2003, it didn’t mark the beginning. The piece had already started. Cage wrote ASLSP in 1985 for piano.

    Most of what matters in a turntable lives at the tip of the stylus. The cartridge does the real work by drawing music out of plastic. Bolt a good one to a strip of plywood and you’ll still get something worth listening to. That said, the turntable matters. Not because it’s collectible or cool, but because the thing holding your records steady has a job to do. The motor needs to be quiet and the speed stable. No hum, no static. Turn it on and let it run.
