Critic Reviews

Soul'd Out: The Complete Wattstax Collection

pitchfork

9.1

“Stax Records’ historic 1972 soul festival finally gets its due with a new 12-disc box set, presenting a pop label at its imperial peak and an unmediated vision of Blackness for a rapt audience.”

Red Hot & Ra: Nuclear War

loudandquiet

9.0

9.0

“Pop Psychédélique isn't a history lesson in French psych pop, but it is a tremendous experience”

It at least signifies how long Seoul institution Cakeshop means to continue championing club culture both locally and internationally from their Itaewan-ro HQ — the former site of an illegal st”

Brainfeeder X

exclaim

9.0

“This compilation delivers on all fronts, dropping in the melancholic with Tokimonsta and Miguel Baptista Benedict, the glitchy downtempo of Lapalux, the funk infusions of Thundercat and Georgia Anne Muldrow, the experimental house of Mr. Oizo and Ross From Friends, and of course new cuts from Flying Lotus himself. ”
