We’ve been waiting a long time to (re) introduce Java Jel to the world. An artist tethered to the codes of journalism. A journalist with artistic integrity. And we knew it from the first time we heard him in 1994. This is the album that won our hearts back then and here we are again. We have relocated and remastered the entire Java Jel catalog and it’s coming your way via CHUH MUSIC in 2025. Cafe is your first stop along the way. The coffee is on us.
MONROE
Sophomore triumph from Rod Hohl & Steve Mandel released in partnership with Bardonia Records. Recorded and mixed at Electric Lady 2003-2004. Released on 12” vinyl 2023. Vinyl Only. CHUH-3/BP-2
Java Jel’s Flavors (originally released on CD in 1998) gives us a sweet sip from all the different albums released between 1988-1998. We offer this classic compilation in anticipation of the entire remastered catalog arriving in the streaming world this year. Java’s music will wake you up like morning coffee. Enjoy discovering a lost pop star.
Rod Hohl & Megan Spooner’s 1998 cult classic is finally available on all streaming services via CHUH MUSIC. Capturing the sounds and smells of downtown NYC in the mid 90’s, this album will transport you backwards and forwards. We’re really proud to have this in our catalog. Produced, recorded and mixed at Electric Lady Studios by legendary soundman Andy Salas. We look forward to releasing their lost follow-up in the future as well.

“We are the Ratz. We use the wrong mikes. We hang out in driveways. We like imported wines and beers and Mexican brick weed. We sweat nobody. We are the best fucking band since The Stones. These are the smash hits. These are the fucking songs that came straight out of our cheap erotic minds. Listen up.”
