about

This year we have released early tracks from Night Trains on digital platforms. These have included ‘Russian Roulette’, recorded during their first album sessions with Hip-Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa, followed by ‘Street Chase’. Now, for the very first time, we are delighted to issue their debut album ‘Checkmate’ digitally for the very first time. An essential release from a primal acid jazz group and a great insight into their early work, as well as a vital chapter in what would become our shared history. Listen and download now!
