THE COMPILATIONS ERA

Many projects were released during this era, much of which included
unreleased material from prior periods.

NuSounds resurfaced in 2016 in a more archival form.The compilation The Lost Sessions arrived as a remix-plus-rarities set assembled by Prick Flair from his and Klassic’s unreleased recordings. Built around deep vault pulls, new verses, and previously unheard cuts, it acted as a bridge between the early-era catalog and what would come next.

In 2018, Klassic made a soft return, adopting the Kloudhead surname. He’d go on to release Phase One: 2011–2017, a retrospective that stitched together key records from the first era and capped them off with three new songs. The archival theme continued in late 2019 with the Look What I Found! series, Volumes 1–6, a deep dive into Klassic’s storage drives. Across those tapes, listeners moved from 2007 experimental instrumentals to unreleased Infinite Records-era tracks, plus new instrumentals cut in 2018. Volume 3 stood out as the first project comprised entirely of new material since 2012’s Tolerance Break. This period cemented NuSounds as an archive-minded label as much as a traditional frontline imprint.
