Hi ,

Half the year is already behind us – the perfect moment to look back at the vinyl releases that have defined 2026 so far. In our Mid-Year Vinyl Review 2026, the HHV Mag editorial team has curated a selection of the year’s standout records, including the albums that have been among your favorites so far.

We’ve also got a fresh wave of HHV Exclusives: Die Sterne celebrate the 30th anniversary of Posen with an exclusive anniversary edition, the cult jazz classic Open Sky Unit returns as an HHV Summer of Jazz Exclusive reissue, and beabadoobee’s Pylon is now available as another HHV Exclusive vinyl edition.

There’s also something new on HHV Mag: For our latest Guest Mix, ChewChew delivers a selection that moves effortlessly between house, disco, and groove – the perfect soundtrack for the summer.

More news and recommendations can be found below in this newsletter and on our website.

Have fun diggin’!
