Our latest podcast comes from Gabe Vaughn of Breakaway Records. Gabe brings us part 2 following on from last weeks podcast, 'A New Day Begins aka The Detroit Mix' "Breakaway is an ALL VINYL record store specializing in used and new sounds from the 20s up through the current, with a heavy focus on 50s, 60s and 70s music of all types. We offer thousands of LPs and 45s, spanning the genres of Soul, R&B, Rock, Garage, Psych, Punk, Jazz, Blues and more. We also sell quality vintage record playing equipment, such as turntables and receivers, as well as needles and accessories of all kinds. Breakaway just celebrated its 5 year anniversary this summer, and we look forward to many more years of digging up the best 45s, LPs, turntables & other audio gear for our customers. Breakaway was started by Austin native Gabe Vaughn (aka Secondliner), and was originally located in east Austin. Gabe hosts / DJs Austin's amazing R&B nite 'Second Sunday Sock Hop' as well as the long-running Funk & Soul party known as 'Soul Happening!' The shop has been on North Loop, in north-central Austin, for 3 years now and business has been steadily growing. Denton, Texas native, longtime DC resident, and Mice Parade alumnus Josh LaRue (aka jLa) came on board 2 1/2 years ago and he and Gabe have been slingin' records and gear, DJ'ing, putting on events, making mixes, and generally helping provide Austin with good music on vinyl ever since! Josh holds down several regular DJ gigs in Austin, including a couple at the fabulous Hotel San Jose, and runs Soul Happening! along with Gabe. When in Austin, come check us out!! Mix CDs available by mail-order." Gabe: "'A New Day Begins' is an all-Detroit mix highlighting the distinct sound of Soul music from the Motor City. Completely independant of the Motown sound, this equally as unique and noteworthy sound has been historically overshadowed by that which came from Hitsville." www.breakawayrecs.com/ www.facebook.com/BreakawayRecords TRACKLIST: 1) Parliaments - A New Day Begins (Revilot) 2) Fantastic Four - As Long As I Live (Ric Tic) 3) Precisions - You'll Soon Be Gone (Drew) 4) Aged In Soul - Not Enough Love To Satisfy (Hot Wax) 5) Holidays - All That Is Required (Revilot) 6) Brothers Of Soul - Hurry Don't Linger (Boo) 7) JJ Barnes - So Called Friends (Revilot) 8) Magictones - I'll Make It Up To You (Westbound) 9) Parliaments - All Your Goodies Are Gone (Revilot) 10) Pat Lewis - Can't Shake It Loose (Golden World) 11) Darrell Banks - Baby What'cha Got (Revilot) 12) Steve Mancha - A Love Like Yours (Groove City) 13) Superlatives - I Don't Know How (Westbound) 14) Holidays - I Keep Holding On (Revilot) 15) Steve Mancha - Don't Make Me A Story Teller (Groovesville) 16) Precisions - Why Girl (Drew) 17) Brothers Of Soul - Come On Back (Boo) 18) Parliaments - Look At What I Almost Missed (Revilot) 19) Magictones - Together, We Shall Overcome (Mah's) 20) Louis Curry - I'll Try Again Tomorrow (M-S) 21) Steve Mancha - Hate Yourself In The Morning (Groove City)

Rani Dar is an electronic music producer and sound designer from Tel Aviv that takes industrial low-fi samples from the noisiest streets and turns rough digital recordings into synthetic, complex sound textures and beats. Releasing his first EP "Splatters" earlier this year, he is now working on his full-length debut and planning his first European tour. He says, “Dry Chords is a jam session between a laundry dryer and a washing machine in a walk-in launderette in the heart of Tel Aviv. If you have ever been in one you probably heard that tune before, just didn't know it. So the next time you wash and dry, try adding some chord powder to the mix and see what happens…” Enjoy...

Mazes new mini album 'Better Ghosts' is available for Pre-Order NOW. Release date, 11th November 2013.

Following hot on the heels of February's 'Ores & Minerals', an album which The Quietus called 'the first great guitar album of the year' and which The Guardian proclaimed as 'Marvellous and highly recommended', Mazes return with 'Better Ghosts', a mini-album that blurs the lines between 'Ores & Minerals', their acclaimed live show, and what the future of Mazes may sound like.

Band singer Jack Cooper says of it: “It’s a record about a year of touring and hanging out… where everything and nothing happened. Things between things. Listening to and being influenced by everything ever and then trying to ignore it.”

Better Ghosts' is available on limited edition vinyl, that includes a free mp3 code. Pre-Orderhere.

Check out track Hayfever Wristband taken from 'Better Ghosts' below:
