  • Friends Of Friends will release 5oFoF to commemorate its fifth anniversary on November 4th. Since the label launched (via t-shirt) back in 2009, it's acted as a launch pad for some of the LA scene's most successful breakout stories, pulling Daedelus, Shlohmo, Jerome LOL (and his old group LOL Boys,) Groundislava and Tomas Barfod into its orbit over the years, and more recently fostering new talent like Kyson and Perera Elsewhere. Back in 2011, we profiled Friends Of Friends for a label of the month feature, around the time of the release of one of its landmark albums, Shlohmo's Bad Vibes. The sprawling 36-track 5oFoF features contributions from all those artists and then some, spanning two discs. The first, The Singles, is devoted to hits and highlights of the past five years, while the second, B-Sides, Rarities And New Material, offers just that. Among the new and rare goodies are Nicolas Jaar's remix of Shlohmo, a Bondax rework of Jerome LOL, Ryan Hemsworth taking on Groundislava, Salva collaborating with Rome Fortune and Shigeto teaming up with Kyson for "Water Collides." Stream a new track from one of the label's youngest signees, Different Sleep, also featuring Kid Sister and Lil Chris, below.
