The brainchild of @adrianyounge , we are a recording studio & record label based in LA CA born out of the analog aesthetic. Home to @jazzisdead records
Europe — get ready.
@adrianyounge is taking his forthcoming @linearlabsmusic release, Younge, on the road for The Psychedelic Soul Tour across Europe this Summer.
His first fully instrumental album, Younge is his magnum opus: an orchestral album written from the perspective of a hip hop producer, and a hip hop record composed with the discipline of classical and cinematic music. A sonic journey inspired by composers like David Axelrod, Lalo Schifrin, and Ennio Morricone, Younge is meant to be experienced live and in the room.

@marcosvalle_oficial LIVE at Jazz Está Morto ☀️
Six decades of bossa nova, cosmic samba, psychedelic funk, and MPB. This summer, Marcos Valle brings all of it to North America on the Jazz Está Morto Summer 2026 Tour.
From Previsão Do Tempo to Marcos Valle JID003, his sound has never stopped blooming. Sun-soaked melodies, grooves made for the heat, and a voice that still carries the breeze of 1960s Rio, six decades later.

Jazz Is Dead Summit: São Paulo
Antonio Carlos & Jocafi JID026
Jazz Is Dead's connection to Brasil runs deep. It's rooted in the cultural crossover between Black American and Afro-Brasilian music, and in the crate-digging tradition of unearthing the vast, underappreciated sounds that came from down there. Brasil has been central to the Jazz Is Dead story from the start. JID026 is the latest chapter.
A sonic exploration of Salvador, Bahia in Brasil, JID026 bridges Bahia's rich folkloric traditions with the Jazz Is Dead analog sound of Los Angeles. A modern classic steeped in history, resistance, and joy.
By @antoniocarlosejocafi , @adrianyounge , and @alishaheed . Recorded at @linearlabsmusic in Los Angeles, CA. 100% analog, straight to tape.
Available to stream everywhere and on vinyl.
