Exclusive Everland Music and Kontakt Audio vinyl re-releases in PDV distribution

PDV Records has recently become the exclusive distributor of Everland Music and Kontakt Audio labels specializing in reissuing cult underground titles of the 70s and 80s in a wide range of genres.

Everland Music is focused on vinyl reissues of forgotten or hard-to-obtain titles from the 60s, 70s, and 80s of the last century from all over the world. Collaborating with renowned vinyl collectors, crate diggers, and DJs, Everland Music uses a documentary approach to present the hottest moments of the organic psychedelic groove of the music history of the last century through more than 100 fully licensed releases.

One of the world’s largest vinyl collectors Mark Jansen curated part of the catalog title exclusively for Everland Music by choosing over 50 of the rarest and most privately printed vinyl releases of the 70s and 80s USA funk/soul/disco/boogie / Latin music. Original vinyl releases that are impossible to find on the market or their price reaches the four-digit figures Jansen and Everland Music have made available again. These are the ultimate quality albums outside the mainstream that essentially sound depict the passion and heat of the American funk, soul, and disco scene at its peak.

The rich legacy of jazz, psych, soul, funk of the former Yugoslavia in the '60s, '70s, and '80s is taken care of by Croatian crate-digging authorities: David Blažević (Dr. Smeđi Šećer) and Višeslav Laboš.

Steve chose titles that depict the wildest period of African music history which until recently was impossible to obtain on vinyl. It is a music documentary series that conveys the heat of many clubs in Lagos through the progressive expression of genres: afro-funk, soul, disco, jazz, psych, RnR, afrobeat, highlife, calypso.
