SHIPPING POLICY

We offer FREE shipping on orders of $100 or more. All media orders (vinyl/CD/cassette) will ship via USPS media mail. Please be aware that we cannot provide free multiple shipments for a single order, so if your order includes pre-order items, the entire order will be held until all items are in stock and ready to be shipped.

Your tracking information usually updates within 24-72 hours. Once your order departs from our facility, we no longer have control over it. For assistance with missing packages, kindly reach out to your local post office branch. Please note that we are not responsible for stolen packages and are not able to refund you for your purchase if your package was stolen after delivery. Shipping times may vary.


FREE IN-STORE PICKUP

If you are local, we offer FREE in-store pickup on online orders.  Please note, however, that using Apple Pay at checkout will auto-fill a shipping charge and will not allow you the option to choose free in-store pickup. In other words, if you wish to choose free in-store pickup at checkout, you must checkout without using an accelerated payment method like Apple Pay.

There are records you listen to, and there are records you step into. Caribbean Serenade belongs to the latter - one of those rare recordings that draws you in immediately: warm, unforced, and nostalgic. It is the sonic equivalent of a golden Caribbean evening, an intimate serenade that feels like an invitation and a meeting point between roots reggae & rocksteady, with the richness of swing-era horn writing, capped off by classic dub remixes. It's an organic synthesis that reveals a combination of musical languages rarely heard in this form.

At it's core is a 20-year bond between Martin Mayr (Roots Organisation), Mauricio-Jorán Ceseña and Jannis Klenke (The Black Oak Roots Allstars), alongside aDUBta - the producer and multi-instrumentalist who helped shape the album's sonic identity. Distilling decades of mutual trust into a showcase that feels both effortless and precise, Caribbean Serenade brings back a shared musical language and intuition spanning more than two decades. Recorded at Attic Roots Studio, The Black Oak Roots Allstars provide a tight, organic rocksteady foundation, allowing Mayr's compositions to flourish. Picking up the saxophone and flute for this record, Mayr contributes his deep passion for arranging. His writing is a cornerstone of the album's identity: warm, four-part horn arrangements shaped by jazz and swing traditions, where the horn section leads. The arrangements are further elevated by Simon Kintopp's trombone solos and Fabian Supancic's gritty, bluesy organ. Ultimately, aDUBta's production brings every element into sharp focus. A devotee of analog aesthetics, his commitment to the "golden era" shapes the entire record from tracking to the final mix. Each of the six instrumental pieces is paired with a live dub version, mixed in real-time on a Tascam 388. The result is a rare, masterfully crafted synthesis of reggae, rocksteady and swing-era horns. Caribbean Serenade is a timeless vibration, captured perfectly in the moment.
