🇺🇸 Remembering Sylvester (September 6, 1947 – December 16, 1988) who died 37 years ago today 🕊️

Singer and entertainer Sylvester, whose famous falsetto and outrageous stage antics made him a favorite of Gay audiences, died Friday, December 16, in San Francisco of complications associated with AIDS. He was 42.
Sylvester became popular in the late 1970s when he delighted audiences with his gospel-style singing and nightclub routines.
Known as the “Queen of Disco”, Sylvester propelled himself to fame during the disco craze with songs like “Dance (Disco Heat)” in 1978, “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real” in 1979, and “Do You Wanna Funk?” in 1982. His last album, recorded in 1987, included the hit song “Someone Like You.”
Sylvester’s soulful voice garnered him five gold records selling more than 500,000 copies, and one platinum record selling more than 1 million copies.
Sylvester died at home with his mother at his side. In addition to his mother, he is survived by several brothers and sisters. - Melanie Everett

Somewhere between heaven and hell there is FALLEN ANGEL. Filmed in Chicago during International Mister Leather 1997, Fallen Angel captures the intensity of men who live their lives in leather, with an award winning soundtrack by Brandy Dalton of Drance. In the clip the tabla-laced trance of “FA2” takes listeners on a journey through hedonistic recesses.
This album was originally released on CD in 1999 by Titan Studios, capitalizing on the success of the film franchise. It will be reissued on LP as well as CD, featuring 6 bonus tracks. Out January 9, 2026, all proceeds from this release will go to AIDS Project Los Angeles.

Like an early French film soundtrack with melodramatic overtones, lilting guitars and ample use of echo smack of Durutti Column. Deux Filles was a short-lived duo formed by the musician, composer and producer Simon Fisher Turner and the writer and producer Colin Lloyd Tucker.
Both highly collectable albums: Silence & Wisdom (1982) and Double Happiness (1983) have been reissued by us. Drifting and wistful, they’re a pair of lost ambient gems from a time when the genre had yet to mature, an excellent example of post-Eno, pre-Orb ambient music.

Remembering Q Lazzarus who would have been 65 on December 12. We urge everyone to watch the documentary on Q - It's on Criterion Channel, Prime Video & Vimeo On Demand and listen to the soundtrack on Sacred Bones Records with dozens of unreleased songs.

“It’s tragic that Q Lazzarus did not witness how her narrow and yet influential oeuvre is breathed new life into a documentary, Sacred Bones compilation and last but not least a proper reissue of her breakthrough single Goodbye Horses. But it only somehow makes sense that a singer named after a biblical resurrection rises to new heights after her death in 2022. Even if much of what was first presented to the public this year cannot keep up with Diane Luckey’s biggest hit: the re-release of the single by Dark Entries alone serves as the most beautiful possible tribute to her legacy. Goodbye, Q Lazzarus.” - Kristoffer Cornils

High Tech is a 1986 documentary-style feature from Al Parker's Surge Studios, who delivers an introduction on location in San Francisco. The film offers an incredible demonstration of vacuum pumps and was created during a time in California when safe s*x and toys were the rage due to AIDS.
Original music by Spider Taylor who composed the soundtracks for five films produced by the iconic studio. We are reissuing Spider’s Surge Studio Music on January 9th on vinyl, CD and digital formats.

Legendary french poets of industrial noise, Vox Populi! ‘Sucre De Pastèque’ wraps heads in a labyrinth of tape loops and spuming electro-acoustic wizardry with an approach that can be roughly classified somewhere between lo-fi concrète, psych-folk, avant-ambient and proto-cyborganic machine music.

Under the lead of Greek-French-Palestinian Axel Kyrou - credited with synth, organ, tapes, flutes, cornet, even “reel scratching” - and with Franco-Persian partner Mitra, plus her brother Arash Khalatbari, on everything from acoustic guitar to santour (hammered dulcimer), the unit fluidly concoct 18 richly satisfying, if fleeting, dervishes and earthbound but sidereal-inclined visions on what has become a firm fan fave over the years.

‘Sucre De Pastèque’ surely crosses imagined paths with fellow tape scene legends such as Zoviet France or Nocturnal Emissions, and even the outlandish juxtapositions of László Hortobágyi or passages of Dariush Dolat Shahi, in the way it zig zags from possessed incantation to bezonked rhythmelodic treks.

Trust there’s many good reasons why this one’s become a cult, sought-after gem. -
