This is a GREAT question
The 5 under-the-radar albums that I'd suggest:
1. Gong Gong Gong & Mong Tong, "Mongkok Duel"
An electrifying album of Hong Kong funk, krautrock, leftfield electronics, experimental rock, psychedelia, & transglobal post-punk

(NP: "Something Isn’t Right 蹺蹊")
As this shouldn't be a one way street: my five records for your pile. Not definitely under the radar, but I’d give you
John Glacier "Like a Ribbon"
because she’s an upcoming artist from London (so your musical socialization).
1/5
bc. this album has no special or definite peaks, but it is consistently very good.
2/5
bc. you are into Jazz (and "World"music) and you already found the “Work Money Death“ album
3/5
…in order you like to dive (more) into Gqom-/Leftfield’ish stuff (I don’t know if you like this kind of stuff – but I think so, because you're from UK and grew up with breaks and raves)
4/5
bc. I’m curious why you haven’t mentioned it (as you haven’t mentioned Alice Coltrane), but you’re into Shabaka
5/5
I hope I got you something you haven't heard yet, or missed for some reason and you can enjoy it.
Recorded during one night in a gospel music studio in Accra, this brings free jazz, improvisation, & environmental sounds (water, wind) to the Ghanaian highlife party. Think Ebo Taylor meets Don Cherry’s Organic Music Society.

Vintage electronics meets dreamy acid folk meets cosmic jazz from the trio of Tsutomu Sonoda, Shoei Ikeda, & Ryota Takano, who hail from the seaside communities surrounding Enoshima, Japan

Bowles is a giant of the local music scene here in Durham, NC, & here he plays with double-bassist Casey Toll (Jake Xerxes Fussell, Mt. Moriah) and drummer Rex McMurry (CAVE). Exquisite folk jazz.

Two musical geniuses at the top of their game: flutist and composer Nicole Mitchell (Black Earth Ensemble, former chair of AACM) and kora master and griot Ballaké Sissoko
