British producer Mark Barrott has lived many lives, from his roots to a number of Balearic landmarks, including 2016 Sketches from an island 2. His last, the orchestral work Everything changes, nothing endsit is dedicated to his late partner, Sara Kult-Smith, after her death last year. In press material, he called the album a “story of two lives coming together through a chance meeting on a plane and spending the next 20-plus years together through the madness of late '90s Berlin in Northern Italy, Southern America and, finally, the tranquility of rural Ibiza. The story of how life can change and be taken away in the blink of an eye.” But, he added, “it's not a sad story. It's a story of joy, love, sadness and gratitude for what it was.”

Jaychino: Work of art III [PRNLDOCC]
It would take sheer brute force to stop Jaeychino. Four projects deep into 2024 alone, from the Washington, DC rapper Work of art III gathers 17 songs in 29 minutes. Jaeychino continues to favor digitized, light beats that could be cut straight from a Yeule or Frou Frou record, only this time he's talking about the drama in his circles and how he's been spending his life these past few months. The project features ST6 JodyBoof, Broadway Rx, SlimeGoon9 and Snow Strippers.
