New Release

Latest News from Luminate Records

We’re starting off 2025 with a new distributor (Ulysses Arts) and an exciting new release. All of our back catalogue is slowly being re-released as remasters with Ulysees Arts and will be available on Presto Music, IDAGIO and qobuz in addition to all the streamers we were already on (including Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon and Spotify).

Our new release is Slate Quartet’s first recording on Luminate Records. Their reading of Brett Dean’s ‘Eclipse’ (String Quartet No. 1) is immediately open and spacious, with sublimely tender moments punctuated with visceral interjections.

"Three Lyric Pieces represents Eric Coates' only mature work for the piano and are almost entire forgotten these days - pity as they are ear-catching miniatures, full of charm and Ben Dawson, thoroughly imbued with the Coates style, plays them with tremendous flair."

"The playing is just incredible, a joy and an inspiration. The liner notes, with beautiful descriptions of each Valse, give great depth and further meaning to each track."

"After having just heard your playing of the Eccles with Ukulele I felt compelled to write you a fan letter because I was so blown away by your brilliant and musical performance! You are an amazing artist and I'm so glad you made this recording...I never would have dreamed that this sonic combination of instruments would be possible!"
