Joey LaBeija has earned himself the reputation of an underground club music deity in his native New York City. The Bronx-bred producer and DJ is revered for his rhythmic assaults on sound systems, combining a celebration of his Puerto Rican heritage (e.g. Big Pun and Wisin & Yandel) with his love for the more extreme and experimental corners of electronic music (from Bjork to friends Rabit and Lotic). As a fourth-generation House of LaBeija emissary, Joey LaBeija is not so interested in plainly referencing the traditional sound of ballroom and vogue, but instead seeks out new pathways to further immerse listeners into his personal experience. Shattered Dreams, LaBeija's full-length debut, marks a bold step forward in this artistic inquiry. The listener hears LaBeija pouring his darkest time as an adult into the music, drawing upon a single year full of life losses amid the walls of an unforgiving metropolis. From start to finish, it is a story told through the sprawl of daydreamt melodies, amorphous noise resembling the multi-appendage-clatter of insects, and tattered beds of abrasive percussion. Much like his style of playing live, there is no single set genre as Shattered Dreams winds forward; instead LaBeija mines various stylistic cues - the upbeat stutter step of Timbaland or that of grime (Over and Joey's Inferno), for instance - until revealing the tender, reverberating echoes of sounds unfound beneath the breaking sediment. This album is a hard barrel roll left, away from LaBeija well secured club stature. It is an intrepid dive into the pain of the mind. While Shattered Dreams was debuted by The FADER as a stream-only mix in August 2015, after which it appeared in FACT's The 25 best albums of the last three months list in October 2015 and received high praise in Mixmag's November 2015 issue, Purple Tape Pedigree now presents the album as an LP, with tracks split and re-touched to the utmost dynamic clarity by the masterful Rashad Becker.

Pages falling out of binding.
Format: Paperback
I love the book. It’s been fun. My issue is the pages are falling out. I received the book today and every other page comes right out of the binding. I am worried I am going to lose pages.

Great mystery concept, poor paper quality
Format: Paperback
Love the concept and the book but the quality of the paper and cover just really disappoints me. Because you have to flip back and forth you’re going to be handling this a lot. I had the book at the pool and the edge got wet and the cover just delaminated and came apart.
I have really enjoyed the complexity of this mystery and cannot wait to find out who the killer is!

Perfect for Mystery Lovers and Overthinkers
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I picked this up thinking it would be a quick little puzzle book and ended up way more invested than I expected. The entire concept is basically solving a murder mystery through elimination clues, and it honestly feels like a mix between Clue, logic puzzles, and a detective game you can do by yourself.
Each page gives you clues about who the killer is NOT, so you slowly narrow down the suspects by crossing out names based on things like syllables, vowels, letters in their name, etc. Some clues are super straightforward and others make you stop and really think. It’s surprisingly addicting once you get into it.
What I like most is that it actually keeps your brain busy for a long time. This is not one of those puzzle books you finish in an hour and forget about. I’ve been working through it slowly because there are SO many pages and clues. It’s honestly kind of funny how serious I got trying to figure it out.
The layout is easy to follow, the concept is original, and it’s a great option if you like mystery games, logic puzzles, escape rooms, or anything detective-related. I could also see this being really fun to bring on a trip or keep around for downtime instead of scrolling on your phone.
Definitely worth it if you enjoy interactive mystery books and want something different from the usual word searches or crossword puzzles.

Better Than the Movie
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I picked up Remarkably Bright Creatures after hearing so much buzz about it, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This is one of those rare books that is heartfelt, funny, emotional, and completely unique all at the same time. The characters feel real and layered, and the story unfolds in such a thoughtful, satisfying way.
Marcellus the octopus completely steals the show. I didn’t expect to become so attached to an octopus, but his chapters were easily my favorite part of the book. They added humor, wisdom, and so much heart to the story.
If you’ve already seen the movie adaptation but haven’t read the book yet, you absolutely should. The book goes so much deeper emotionally and gives so much more background and connection between the characters. I enjoyed the movie, but the book made me care about the story on a completely different level.
The writing is approachable and easy to get into, but it still leaves a lasting impact. This would make a great book club pick or gift for anyone who enjoys character-driven stories with warmth and emotional depth.

Great story and characters
Format: Kindle
I had to see what all the hype was about and after seeing the trailer on Netflix I knew I had to read the book before I watched the movie. I have to say, this was one of the better books I've read so far this year. It's not a fast paced read but it held my interest the entire time. The characters are very well developed and I really grew to like Tova and Cameron, of course Marcellus is the star of the show and is as witty as they come. If you're looking for a good read I highly recommend this one. The octopus is a difficult creature to care for so I sincerely hope the "octopus tank craze" doesn't start over this like the "clownfish tank craze" did when Finding Nemo came out. Leave it to the expert level saltwater hobbyist to care for them or better yet, leave them in the ocean. I have to mention too that this is the author's debut novel and for a debut novel it's very impressive, I'll look for others from her in the future.
