Now Again Records

Now Again Records was launched in 2002 by Egon as a subsidiary of Stones Throw Records. With a rich catalogue of 60s & 70s soul & funk, as well as some essential new projects, the label has become a go-to destination for music lovers. In 2012, Now Again Records became independent and secured distribution from various partners including Traffic Entertainment Group.

The label's founder, Egon, has always had an ear for exceptional music. His passion for digging deep into the crates and unearthing hidden gems is evident in the carefully curated releases on Now Again Records. From rare soul and funk classics to groundbreaking contemporary projects, the label consistently delivers quality music that resonates with listeners.

With its dedication to preserving and celebrating the legacy of soul and funk music from the past while also pushing boundaries with innovative new sounds, Now Again Records has earned a reputation as a trusted source for both collectors and casual fans alike. Whether you're seeking timeless classics or exciting new discoveries, this label is sure to have something that will captivate your ears.

Globetrotter of subcontinents and digger of rare, forgotten records, Eothen 'Egon' Alapatt tracks sounds from the dawn of time to the 4 corners of the world. On the other side of the globe, French designer Christophe Lemaire stays forward thinking and audacious in his choices. He cultivates a love of timeless designs and mixed influences; a passion for iconoclastic music. This extraordinary openness has been at the heart of their friendship since 07. Their eclectic, fierce rock discoveries gave birth to a first anthology, Where Are You From? (Now-Again, 2010), the fruit of Lemaire's excavating Alapatt's archives. That was a exploration in psych, rock and funk territories from 1968; this 2nd anthology celebrates their vision and explores garage rock from the 1970s, voicing the struggles in Zambia, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. 'Can't You Hear Me' comes from a track by charismatic Zamrock icon Paul Ngozi. Ngozi's title track sets the tone for a drastic selection of 17 songs with rebellious undertones, riddled by an infectious groove. Ngozi, Witch, Chrissy Zebby Tembo, Amanaz, Wells Fargo, Eye Q and the Funkees represent a generation fighting for their freedom, armed with fuzz guitars, symbolic objects of a new movement. They played in Fela's kingly shadow, were influenced by Hendrix's psychedelic solos, Jefferson Airplane's penetrating chords and Cream's repetitive melodies.
