  • Oakland crew CLUB CHAI's final release, CLUB CHAI Vol. 2, is out now. It was announced back in December that the collective started by 8ULENTINA and Lara Sarkissian would be coming to an end after its five-year run of parties and releases. The 18-track Vol. 2 is now here to close the chapter, featuring music from artists like DJ Plead, Russell E.L. Butler, Siete Catorce, Maral, Quest?onmarc, Bored Lord, Authentically Plastic and Debby Friday, along with the label's cofounders. "The compilation is a collection of tracks by artists whose work truly embodies the Club Chai ethos that exists in storytelling through sound," 8ULENTINA and Sarkissian explain. "As we close out the label, this release remains a lustrous perspective on the future." The release will be supplemented by an archive book due to ship in the next two months, chronicling the collective's five-year journey. "How do we remember and archive something that is really made up of a fleeting feeling? Being on the dance floor with friends, singing in unison or zoning out in complete bliss. It feels right to create something physical that can be held, touched and encountered slowly and carefully." Design for the book is by Azha Luckman and Peter Dolezilek.
    Listen to the full release on Bandcamp.
