**Limited edition of 50 cassette tapes with extractable paper crochet holy image on white matte rough paper. Includes digital download**David aka Christophe Clébard, enfant terrible of synth punk scene, plays a crappy synth and a drum-machine to painfully celebrate love, loss and pain. Live, he hooks the audience with a naked performance that reminds of a panic attack you will never forget. If love is a lost battle, why not fight the pain using distorted melodies and intoxicating rhythms? "SSS"…

Mother
**Limited edition of 50 cassette tapes with extractable paper crochet holy image on white matte rough paper. Includes digital download**A long time agitator of the Turin music scene, Mother (solo project of Tommaso Bonfilio of SabaSaba) uses a mixture of tape cut-ups, crooked percussions, stretched voice and some random languishing instruments to convey an album filled with deep sweet and sour darkness in form of perverted songs as if in a collaboration between William Burroughs and Martin Rev.
Hibiscus
**Limited edition of 30 cassette tapes with extractable paper crochet holy image on white matte rough paper. Includes digital download** J. Zunz a.k.a. Lorena Quintanilla - better known up until this point as one half of Mexican duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete - with her second release ‘Hibiscus’ marks a move on sonically from earlier comfort zones in her work, arriving at a soundworld in which cyclical synth patterns, eerie ambient textures and cathartic vocal exhortations coalesce into a beguil…

A "Therefore" Between Two Non-Sequiturs
* Limited to 70 hand-numbered copies. Green cassette with white imprint. Comes in regular jewel case and 4pp 150gsm paper covers * The music and art of Fleshtone Aura is a thing very much defined and abstract at the same time. It is hard to describe in words but easy to feel. It is an orgiastic and furious sound collage but simultaneously, a minimalist composition in the repeating pattern in which we can easily find ourselves lost to. It is pure musique concrete. It is clearly tape music. It is …
Smoke / An Ally
A hypnagogic narration that evolves in a dream-state, hazy atmosphere intrinsically embodies Dead Gum's thirteenth release. “Smoke / An Ally”, freely curated by the subconscious, evolves on sonic interpretations that emerge from a specific vocal pattern of indelible words. Variations of monad launch a descent to translucent memory fields. Numb listening, ceaselessly transformed inwards, unto the inner light of the night, nearing, until it dims down once again to blackness. Dead Gum is the solo p…
Crease
As listeners, we often fantasize about music collaborations between artists, yet not solely driven by the parameter of "artists we like". Before jumping ahead to any interpretations, we don't just like Danae and Michalis, we like them a lot. But that's not the reason their cooperation is so unique, which is evident on how well they complement each other and communicate in a level of musical language. A simple listening to both solo LPs, [herewith] and Nylon (both on Michali's Holotype Editions) …

Field Transfer
Recorded in the Littlefield Concert Hall at Mills College in Oakland, California, with minimal edits and no overdubs.. Field Transfer projects the sounds from an analog circuit into juxtaposition with facets of raw digital audio. As a performer interacts with the circuit—which consists of two square-wave oscillators activated by pressure sensors and shorting disks—instances of pulsed and modulated sound are triggered in the laptop in a manner that couples the analog and digital sources together.…

Liri Sm
Liri SM is a word play between ‘liri’, the Albanian form for ‘freedom’, and ‘SM’, the widely used short form for ‘sadomasochism’ (which is a paradox of freedom). They melt together in the form of ‘lyricism’ (lirismo in Italian). Yet the first letters of ‘SM’ also hint at the Italian form ‘senza male’ (without harm, innocuous). The idea is to explore the concept of freedom as something that sometimes scares, or rather terrorizes, petrifies people. Our daily freedoms are often a form of content, a…
Magneto Mori: Kilfinane
Edition of 100. Magneto Mori is an exploration of tape recording as a form of memory storage. In this iteration the location is the Irish mountain town of Kilfinane. Using a portable reel to reel tape recorder sounds from around the town were recorded onto the first side of the tape over a two day period – dripping rain, creaky gates, car mechanics, drainpipes, shops, church bells, refrigerator cabinets, wind blowing through the trees, passing traffic, etc. were just some of the sounds encounter…

He is part of Black Moss / Canti Magnetici label team and runs the micro-label Kirlian …
Angler Senses
"The songs pull at you like the dream realm when you are trying to focus on daily life. The songs act as if they’re about to burst into a song you’ve enjoyed a hundred times before but they don’t — their path is sideways, backwards, upside down. And also completely straight, just to fuck with you." -- Bill Callahan
