Alongside news of the posthumous deluxe edition of Austin Peralta's 2011 album, Endless Planets, Brainfeeder share "The Garden (Jondy • BBC Maida Vale Session)".

On what would have been his 33rd birthday, Brainfeeder pay tribute to an immense musical talent and cherished Brainfeeder family member – Austin Peralta – who tragically died in 2012 at the tender age of 22 years old.

“I don't think art can or should be classified into earthly conventions. True art defies categorization and transcends boundaries and shouldn't be looked at through a lens of ‘earthly’ or ‘not earthly.’ If you let it wash over you and carry you away, that experience may not feel like anything you've ever experienced here on Earth. It can be the doorway into an infinitude of worlds.” – Austin Peralta.

Available for the first time on vinyl, Brainfeeder are set to release a new deluxe edition of Austin’s 2011 album, Endless Planets. A landmark album in the Brainfeeder catalog, marking the label’s first foray into jazz, it pre-dated his friend Thundercat’s debut album, The Golden Age of Apocalypse, by a few months and Kamasi Washington’s, The Epic, by four years.

The new edition features four previously unreleased tracks including a live version of "DMT Song" from FlyLo’s 2012 album, Until the Quiet Comes, that Austin co-wrote. Recorded at the legendary BBC Maida Vale Studios in London in July 2011, Austin led an all-star British band comprising Richard Spaven (drums), Tom Mason (bass), Jason Yarde (alto sax), Heidi Vogel (vocals), and Jason Swinscoe of The Cinematic Orchestra (electronics).

Endless Planets (Deluxe Edition) is set for release on 9 February via Brainfeeder, and is available to pre-order now.
