Acoustic solo percussion-vol.1
Swiss percussionist Christian Wolfarth has a long resumé in jazz and improvised music, but I daresay this is probably the first bright red single he has been on. The first of four planned volumes, it pairs a lovely drone (presumably bowed cymbal/rubbed skin) with a very oddly lopsided full kit attack. That piece combines a constantly shifting base pattern with cymbal glare in a wunderfully upsetting manner.’ - Byron Coley, The Wire 309, November 2009’That "volume 1" leads us to suppose that volu…
Discordia
Talvihorros is the work of Scotland based composer and producer Ben Chatwin, working in the field of ambient electronics. Through his distinctive approach to analogue electronics, he crafts dense collages of sound that hint at the conflicting beauty and chaos of the cosmos. ‘Discordia’ and ‘Mechanica’ are the first new recordings to be released by Talvihorros since 2014’s ‘Eaten Alive’ an album that explored the darker recesses of life. Continuing along in that vein these two visceral pieces are…

Kauf Nicht Von TPK
One step back on the timeline of half German, half American postmodern punks Teenage Panzerkorps. A collection of released, unreleased and compilation tracks recorded between 2003 and 2006, including some songs featured on the long out-of-print Nations Are Insane CD-R. Der TPK recall the kraut-rock of Can and Neu! with a cuttin-edge lo-fi allure influenced by Savage Republic and The Ex. The result is an exclusive blend of obscure sounds and confused German vocals buried under layers of guitars, …
Sator
Tip! "The mystery of the ancient and puzzling magic Sator square is evoked again in present time through five dark tracks entitled like the five palindromes that form its fascinating structure: Sator / Arepo / Tenet / Opera / Rotas. Amon (Andrea Marutti), the most important and estabilished italian Dark-Ambient project, and Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio), a well-known and eclectic alchemist of electronic-ethnic-acoustic-ambient sound mixtures, gathered together and worked side by side for some weeks…
The Subliminal Relation Between Planets (Live in Archiaro)
"Performed and recorded live in Archiaro (Catanzaro, Italy), The Subliminal Relation Between Planets presents outstanding sensory-emotionally ecstatic droning textures with a great feeling of floating sensations. The concept perfectly fits the symbolical significant musical harmony of the spheres (Pythagorean Greek theory on mathematical principles). In this magic live and largely improvised performance built on synthesised sounds and electronic treatments, Andrea Marutti invites the audience to…
Utopian Suns

Recorded and mastered between 2007 and 2009, the CD is inspired by science-fiction themes and space-age relics. Consisting of six tracks created mostly with analogue and digital synthesizers, the album is a long and engaging journey through sidereal dephts: shrouded in the darkness of immense and untouched vastness, beyond the …

Recorded and mixed by Matt Bordin in the woods at (the new) Outside Inside Studio, the album features a range of approaches to percussion that Zerang has developed over the years, including the use of vibrating drumhead surfaces, expressive friction passages, multiple timbre percussion, and straight up trap-set drumming - all infused with a ric…

Fine Tuning: The Gradisca Concert
The ubiquity of Coxhill’s sax lines are here answered, cherished, enhanced by the excellent guitar touch of Enzo Rocco. It’s a sort of subtle anarchic dance, intriguing and true.
Heavenly Persona
Few artists have left behind a legacy as enigmatic and captivating as Shizuka Miura. Amidst the Tokyo underground, she was a spectral figure, creating ghostly, childlike dolls and writing haunting, other worldly songs. She formed Shizuka in 1992 with Maki Miura, known for his staggering guitar work in legendary groups Fushitsusha and Les Rallizes Dénudés. Their music bloomed with a fragile, yet explosive mystical power; an atmospheric alchemy of psychedelic rock, folk and noise with Shizuka’s et…
Dagger in the Road
Another chapter of the drone odissey by our Danish favorites releasing two side-long tracks of black magic. Side A was previuosly released on a limited tour-tape by their own label Into the Lunar Light and sounds like the musical score of a horror film sang by a gathering of hungy wolves in a windy cave. On side B the drone assoult ceases and is replaced by reverbing guitars, obsessive synth melodies and echoed vocals building a psychedelic atmosphere. Released in occasion of their Italian…
German reggae
Teenage Panzerkorps have been playing during these last ten years their unique and special kraut-punk that continues the musical tradition of Neu! and Kraftwerk. They have already produced two lps and lots of eps and singles that offer us lots of interesting songs to hear.“German Reggae”, Panzerkorps’ new effort, is, in my opinion, their best album so far. This album is full of early post-punk rhythms and krautrock melodies. It reminds me of the genre’s most notable bands such as Savage Republic…
Tropico

Split
Introducing In Zaire, the improvised live performance of Claudio Rocchetti, Alessandro De Zan (G.I. Joe, Orfanado) and Riccardo Biondetti (G.I. Joe). They mix dub-funk rhythms, tribal percussions, indian and electric bass guitar melodies, arabic and psychedelic voices and minimal-introspective electronic sounds.
On the flip, leading the way, The Skull Defekts. Given the band members pedigree (drummer Henrik Rylander was a co-founder of Union Carbide Productions, guitarist Joachim Nordwall was a…
Radian lines
Wet Hair heads Shawn Reed and Ryan Garbes have been jamming sideways strains of long-lensed electricity music for years now, but their trajectories as visual artists arc back even farther. So after a small infinity of J-cards and zines and LP sleeves designs, it’s a real pleasure to finally be able to present a preferential suite of some of their finest (and, till now, unseen) compositions in a glossy, full-color, pro-printed 22-panel art volume, bookended by a brand new black vinyl 33 RPM singl…
Whip And The Body
A recent Brooklyn noise creature that has decided to rear it's malformed head onto the Dais roster. Crushing, harsh power electronic for fans of early Whitehouse, Grey Wolves, Ramleh, etc…

Musically, Yeh is monolithically active both as a solo artist and improviser as well as with Burning Star Core. He has made seemingly hundreds of recordings, and we've yet to find one rotten egg in the basket. Yeh has collaborated with an insanely varied list of people. If we were to actually drop these names, you'd be impressed / confused. But you have NOT heard the result of him wr…
