Desaceleradas
There's a bridge in Monterrey called El Puente del papa, and beneath it, on the dried-up Santa Catarina riverbed, something happened in the 1990s that nobody planned. Gabriel Dueñez was playing cumbia one night when his turntable's motor overheated and slowed everything down - voices became ghosts, accordion drones stretched into infinity, drums turned to liquid. The crowd kept dancing. Cumbia rebajada was born from a technical failure that revealed something true about memory, about displacemen…
Colla Voce
What if the blue that I see is different from the blue that you see? This question is an infrastructure for my Afro-Surrealist Anti-Opera, Colla Voce. Often, when we think of Surrealism, we think of subconscious mental states, dreams, nightmares-those unexplored corners of our psyche. But Afro-Surrealism protests: what if that which one calls a ‘dream' is a nightmare to another? What if that which one calls ‘rational' is completely baseless to another? And surely, we must have varying ideas of w…
Christopher Dammann Sextet
"Christopher Dammann Sextet is a debut record, but it’s by no means a first effort. Bassist, composer, and improviser Christopher Dammann has been making records for about fifteen years, first as a member of 3.5.7 Ensemble and more recently as the leader of Restroy. Throughout that time, he’s also gigged persistently in Chicago, notably as a regular substitute for Brian Sandstrom in the long-lived free improv collective Extraordinary Popular Delusions, and from Charlottesville, VA (between 2010-…

Littlefolk
Mount Maxwell returns with another full-length journey into memory, melody, and geography - this time roaming beyond the BC environs of his previous records into a stranger, less knowable country. While still woozily nostalgic in the vein of Only Children and The People’s Forest, this outing feels more exploratory and wide ranging in scope, with a denser mixture of influences at play.
The somnambulistic drift of Sea of Milk sets the stage with a series of wavering synth pulses that push us langu…
Lucciole
Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi’s luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely. The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble - chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound—and closes with the…

Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark
Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, the third full-length from Gwenifer Raymond, finds the Welsh guitarist deepening her American primitive explorations with a turbulent, spectral intensity. Across ten instrumental tracks for solo guitar and banjo, Raymond braids the darkness of Appalachian nights with the cosmic anxieties of science fiction, displaying fierce dexterity and meditative nuance.
LDS
On LDS, Henrik Raabe steps away from Wareika’s cool deep house and into a slow‑burn world of dub‑soaked guitars, pastel synths and feather‑light percussion, folding jazz, Afro pulses and 1980s UK dream‑pop into something quietly hypnotic.
Dance! Skip! Hop!

Everything Is Possible
Everything Is Possible, the third album from Peace Flag Ensemble, pushes the boundaries of jazz improvisation and ambient experimentation. Led by Jon Neher’s lyrical piano and complemented by subtle electronic flourishes from Michael Scott Dawson, the group’s ensemble dialogue traverses gentle melodic passages and unexpected textural turns, resulting in a collection that is both introspective and quietly assertive.
Kill!
Berto Pisano's lost 1971 masterpiece finally surfaces. His Kill! soundtrack blends gritty funk, sophisticated lounge, and psychedelic experimentation into magnetic perfection. Wah-wah guitars, hypnotic grooves, and exotic instruments create a seductive world of espionage and eroticism. Holy grail for collectors, now on transparent yellow vinyl edition of 500.
Cadaveri Eccellenti (Colonna Sonora Originale)
The soundtrack for "Cadaveri eccellenti", composed by Piero Piccioni in 1976 for Francesco Rosi's film, is one of the most fascinating and unsettling works in Italian film music. Like the film itself, the music evokes a constant sense of tension, a dark atmosphere, and a profound unease that perfectly matches the narrative of this political thriller. “Cadaveri Eccellenti”, based on Leonardo Sciascia's novel “Il contesto”, is a masterpiece of Italian cinema that delves into themes of corruption, …
