Pause for the Cause: London Rave Adverts 1991-1996, Vol. 1
Tip! *In process of stocking* "Back in the early ‘90s, whenever the pirate radio MC announced “a pause for the cause”, I usually pressed pause on my cassette recorder. That’s something I would regret years later, when ad breaks had become cherished mementos of the hardcore rave era. Luckily, back in the day I often left the tape running while I went off to do something else. So a fair number of ad breaks got captured accidentally for my later delectation. Not nearly enough, though. So in recent …

Forgetting is Violent
Forgetting is Violent, Patrick Shiroishi’s latest solo LP, is his most immediate release yet, expanding the scope not just of his music but of his extramusical considerations. Where his past releases on American Dreams reckoned with racism against Japanese Americans or presented Shiroishi’s saxophone as heard in a parking garage, Forgetting is Violent considers racism as a whole, historical and ongoing, with the urgency it deserves. Here, for the first time, we hear Shiroishi joined by a support…

The current release contains one of Sun Ra's most exceptional and highly regarded albums of the 1950s: Jazz in Silhouette. Although the exact recording dates are unknown (no details were given on the original LP back cover, which included no liner not…

Hoof Stand
Tip! * 300 copies. In process of stocking * Hoof Stand is the third vinyl output by Primorje, the collaborative project between Giovanni Donadini (Ottaven, Canedicoda) and Matteo Castro (Mercury Hall, Lettera 22, also founder of Second Sleep label).

Didone
** 12” LP edition of 300 copies with cover artwork and booklet featuring illustrations by Ettore Tripodi ** In September 2019 Alessandro Bosetti was invited by fellow composer and curator Riccardo La Foresta to create a new work for a newly created ensemble as part of a residency program hosted by Centro Musica in Modena, Italy.

The clarity of the electronics and vocals does not fail to make an impact.

Complete Acousmatic Works — Vol 1 (16CD Box)
Epic box set containing 16 CDs, presenting more than 40 works and 18 hours of listening, including never released before music by Denis Dufour and texts in a detailed booklet. There is a title buried in this collection that serves as its unspoken manifesto: Notre besoin de consolation est impossible à rassasier - Our Need for Consolation is Insatiable. Borrowed from Stig Dagerman, it names a 67-minute work from 1989, but it might equally describe the impulse behind this unprecedented undertaking…

Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits
** Repressed, 180gram vinyl. Reissue of the original Ethiopian vinyl compilation. ** "Ethiopians' deep-seated ethiocentrism, the legacy of a thousand years of history, has contributed in no small way to their music's strong national identity, particularly impervious to any African influences. Latin influences, so pervasive in the great musical centers of West Africa and the Congo, have been similarly rebuffed, despite the brilliant attempts of a musician like Mulatu Astatke. He was the first and…

Talk to the Sea
2026 small repress. The highly-anticipated second release from the Music From Memory label takes you into the world of Italian musician Gigi Masin.

U TA
In November 2017, something extraordinary happened in Shibuya. As Shuta Hasunuma began conjuring otherworldly sounds from a single Buchla Music Easel modular synthesizer, Keiji Haino—one of Japan's most uncompromising experimental voices—responded by singing "Kimigayo," the Japanese national anthem. What started as an unplanned encounter between two visionary musicians has now crystallized into U TA, an album that brilliantly captures the haunting and complex interplay of Haino's resonant …
