We also hope to continue to use TAV Records as a source of an archival imprint to document the sounds of this part of the region, with vinyl records being the primary presentation. \u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gif-hailnothingpre-order","title":".gif - Hail Nothing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— The Analog Vault \/\/ Essential Listening —\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Analog Vault is supremely honoured to be working with .gif for their first-ever vinyl release on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/tav-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTAV Records\u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.gif have earned critical comparison to the likes of Bjork, Yukimi Nagano, The xx and Portishead, but the illustrious pair have managed to retain a fresh and unique dynamic to their chimerical sound, one that proved so compelling that the pair began filling a void of their own making within the Singaporean music scene. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the acclaim of their past releases, .gif's sophomore LP \u003cem\u003eHAIL NOTHING\u003c\/em\u003e still showcases the haunting vocals, deft lyricism and obsidian production that has become their distinctive sound.

Ikhlas covers a wide range of styles through the roots of hip hop, disco and the use of breakbeat inspired textures.

We truly believe that a vinyl release of this album will serve to increase the reach of Fauxe’s music to a wider audience. This collaboration is representative to the identity we want to push forward as a record label – we want to showcase music that is distinctly progressive and wildly creative. Faxue’s music is definitively so, while paying homage to his Asian roots.” The album’s vinyl release will see an initial launch limited to 150 copies. Available on 180g LP, this record was mastered by Rohan Mansell and pressed at Zenith Records, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/810823209\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\u0026amp;visual=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAV Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456866001054,"sku":"10017","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/dc0868f5d5805230084e02e7d0b930db13da8e3c.jpg?v=1646297918"},{"product_id":"intriguant-spiritspre-order","title":"Intriguant - Spirits","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAV Records presents electronic producer Intriguant's 3rd album, Spirits on vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eInspired by electronic genres across house, UK dubstep \u0026amp; breakbeat, Spirits is the third album by celebrated DJ and producer Intriguant.
