A great collab from a subset of the Lunch Records crew of L0k and DEHNOE is out now, 6000-TB.
This record really moves through a bunch of tonal colours. My faves are the upbeat, brighter moments, “HYPO POP,”“DISCOTEK” and “ANGELS ALL GONE.” These are setup so well by the darker, heavier feeling tracks that really make the brightness pop.

Bringing in 2025 a couple of days early is DEHNOE’s sophomore album SYNCHRONICITY, out now on Lunch Records.
The energy is really high throughout this record, peaking at points like ‘FADED’ and ‘2002 SUBARU’ and taking moments of pause through ‘WON’T TURN BACK’ and ‘CLEAR STATIC,’ultimately resolving with ‘G,’ a beautifully open and detailed groove. ‘Honest’ and ‘flowing’ are words that come to mind as I listen.
‘The Stars They Whisper in My Ears’ music video, produced by mzy and Ayu Rahmen was nominated for at the Hollywood Music Video Awards 2025 in the Best Indie category.

That’s it for studio time in ‘24 at ENCODER Sound. It’s been a great year, much music, many nice folks, and lots of listening, what more could you want. Thanks to everyone who sends music my way, I really enjoy working with you all.
Stay safe, and Happy New Year!
Kicking off a busy period for Lunch Records is the first single from the L0k + DEHNOE collab. TB-6000, ‘Keys to the Mazda.’
This tune finishes in a completely different place than where it starts, but somehow holds together in a very organic way. The free-wheeling, flowing, and spontaneous vocals again highlight the intuitive approach to production and writing. Any moment could go anywhere, as long as it sounds good.

A fresh EP from Catwalk, the first since 2022. On When The Time Comes we find four tightly crafted musical meditations. The lyricism is heavy in content but so inviting in performance, subtly drawing the listener through the record and tying things together. I love how the track ‘Flesh Wheelbarrow’ really stretches out, extends, then locks in and drives to the end.
