SUPERSONIC BLUES MACHINE released their exciting new studio album CALIFORNISOUL. That’s exactly what it is. It's the missing soundtrack to a summertime drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 1971! This album shines in the depth and soul of the songs and songwriting - no cookie cutter filler to be found. As they've proven on their first album and round of shows, it's not a party unless you invite some friends, and for Californisoul, they've brought along some heavy hitters. Guests on the album include Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Steve Lukather (Toto) throws down some stunning licks, Eric Gales is back in the fold, Robben Ford brings his bag of soulfully sophisticated chops and Walter Trout brings some silky slow blues. You may come for the stars, but you'll want to stay for the whole show. Supersonic Blues Machine is truly a family as well as a band, and these guests don't phone it in, they stay for dinner. The community aspect is very real, and one of the band's great treasures.

If you know Sweat It Out, you'd know it's not too often we release full length albums. So with this in mind, we are extremely excited to announce our fifth ever (!) album release by international signing Purple Disco Machine. Opening the year with massive remixes for Jamiroquai and Gorillaz, PDM dropped his first single in 2017, 'Body Funk', back in May. It went on to become the #1 most played track on BBC Radio 1 that month and is currently still the second most Shazam'd song in Ibiza, second only to single #2 from the album, 'Devil In Me (Feat. Duane Harden & Joe Killington)'. The 13-track album is as diverse as they come; touching on traditional disco house, through to funk, soul, boogie, nu-disco and indie dance. It also features some jaw-dropping collaborators including; CeeLo Green, Faithless, Kool Keith, Duane Harden, and Baxter just to name a few…
