Moreover, Jazz contains a multitude of sub-styles that outreach and influence enthusiasts of the genre via various sonic characteristics, shapes and forms.

Notte
Taping, expanding, and challenging the parameters of how we perceive rhythm and percussion, comes “Notte”, the debut solo LP by the Italian journeyman drummer and composer Piero Perelli. Ranging from the infectiously hypnotic to complex abstractions and sheets of ambience, every step of the way it's an engrossing listen that shouldn't be missed.
Dondestan (Revisited)
*2024 stock* Originally released in 1991 Dondestan was remixed and reappraised in the studio in 1998 as Dondestan Revisited. Wyatt claimed he ‘ran out of words’, so by basing half of the album’s tracks on her beautifully fragmented lyrics, he began a songwriting collaboration with wife Alfie Benge that continues to flourish to this day.

Aurora Central presents a cassette by Concepción Huerta & Jiyoung Wi, merging visionary soundscapes and avant-garde experimental sounds.
In Glow of Like Seclusion
Samuel Andreyev’s music is incredibly varied, from the sparse resonance of the Sonata da Camera, the ‘cartoon music’ – as the composer puts it -of Vérifications, characterised by primary colours and strong instrumental timbres; the Sextet in Two Parts which in contrast focuses on minute timbral shadings; and of course the cantata for solo voice and ensemble which is the title track of the album.
Performed by Ensemble Proton Bern, conducted by Luigi Gaggero with the magical soprano voice of Peyee…

Negrea Love Dub
By the end of the 1970s Linval Thompson had cut out a successful dual career for himself as both singer and producer. Naturally he moved in the dub field as well, getting further use out of rhythms he used in his other works. Dub had begun strictly as an album format with limited pressing runs for scene insiders, but it had swiftly gained the interest of the rank and file reggae buffs. 'Negrea Love Dub', originally released in 1978, is a cornerstone in the reggae dub scene.
Linval Thompson produ…

Kites Of Nephthys
Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as No Rent and Detachment Programs.
Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere. All of the…

Duma
*44 copies limited edition* "We met R Moro for the first time in December 2022, when we had the chance to share the Spettro stage in Brescia. We didn't know each other before and he totally grabbed us with his concert, a dreamy long suite that kept him busy shifting between keyboards, electric guitar, and electronic rythms. After another killer show at Troglobatem Festival 2023 we asked him some material for a release, and about an year later the music reached us.
This tape is R Moro's first r…
