Recordings 1977-80
Up until the incredible "A Period of Review" reissue via RVNG Intl.last year we hadn't even heard of Kerry Leimer, yet that compilation and it’s astonishing followup, this years "Artificial Dance” set under Leimer’s ‘Savant’ alias, introduced us to one of the most fascinating and prolific producers of the era, operating at the cusp of ambient, 4th World and industrial musics. From his base in Seattle, Leimer accumulated a unique catalogue of recordings created on a Micromoog, drum machines, guit…

"Triangles offers you more of the powerbook electronics sounds we're all digging on so much, and from speaking comparatively from the field as it stands today, Triangles sounds quite good, really amazing, in fact. Despite falling into the, dammit, start saying it -- 'melancholy electronics,' hole that you clearly need filled, Triangles stands on it's own. Need more? Try this -- Triangles occupies the space between powerbook extrapolations (quite reminiscent of the sole person in America w…
Janus
Recorded, composed, mixed between Paris & Oslo, the Janus LP is a collaboration started in 2008 and finished in 2013.

The Void
After 'Sleeping Beauty' in 2002, here is the second solo album from the ultimate japanese voice! Very rare. The scream beyond all screams, the most incredible intensity within its simplest aspect. Two years in the making, here it is finally, 'The void', a minimal masterwork with two tracks recorded in Paris : the first one with a raw direct naked voice approach - yet very clear and unheard as Junko has never recorded her full voice this way, and a second track with all of Junko's voice frequenci…
L'ange le sage
Debut album of Parisian sound artist Gaël Segalen, placing her 'danceable field recording' on the musical map, with hypnotic and polyrhythmic compositions, between soundscape, bruitism, and freeform electronics. Recorded, composed and mixed in Paris by Gaël Segalen between 2013 and 2015. Mastered and cut by Frederic Alstadt

The release is on white vinyl, in a limited and numbered edition, and it comes with a 24-page booklet with photos by Jacopo Benassi.
Once More (White LP) / Martellate. Scritti Fighi 1990-2020
Two stunning debuts from Xong - the new label launched by Bologna based cultural platform Xing - Lydia Mancinelli and Marcello Maloberti’s 'Martellate. Scritti Fighi 1990-2020' and Kinkaleri and Jacopo Benassi’s 'Once More', take deep dives into singular creative frontiers that rest at the boundaries of the theatrical, sound art, experimental music, noise, the poetic, and the generatively performative. Both are absolutely incredible - blurring the boundaries between action and the act of listeni…
Gn
Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-ind…
Hear After: Matters of Auditory Paranoia
**200 copies** "Francisco Meirino's work in my humble opinion speaks for itself. I'm just incredibly honored to be able to put this out for him and help promote it. If you really need a description to go on though, here is my brief thoughts on it. Masterful pacing and layering of eurorack textures, vertigo inducing frequencies, immersive field recordings, broken electronics and reel-to-reel tape. Francisco has a technique that I like to call "slow cuts" where he will make you zone out on a certa…
Namaskaar Melodies From India
Originally sold only on Air India flights as an aural souvenir of their homeland, this record deserves a wide recognition. This rare 1983 session credited to Dilip Roy could be easily labeled as a forerunner of the worldbeat fusion mania. Dilip was an arranger and orchestra leader for virtually all of Ananda Shankar's recordings. A dj friendly release, the album features moody and exotic sitar coupled with electric guitars, synthesizers, flute, vibes, organ, a string section and some strange and…
The Elbow Is Taboo / Elbonus
**300 copies, includes bonus 7" record** The Elbow Is Taboo was Renaldo & The Loaf's fourth and last album of their initial phase prior to their return in 2010. Released by Ralph in America and Some Bizzare in the UK in 1987, this work represents a development in the overall sound as they utilize an 8-track recorder along with early digital effects. A large arsenal of acoustic instrumentation gives the record an additional unsettling atmosphere. Recorded over a three year period this remains the…
Songs for Swinging Larvae / Songs From the Surgery
A biomedical scientist and an architect form a band in the early 70’s with nothing by the way of traditional musical talent or skill but with endless enthusiasm and their own unique musical sensibility. The ensuing career and creative output of this ongoing home studio / bedroom band remains one of the most significant song based ‘outre’ catalogues ever produced in the United Kingdom. This comprehensive 2LP set contains their first official LP (originally released on The Residents legendary Ralp…
Cylene
First time outing from two ardent explorers of peripheral sound tactics. Cylene is the first collaboration by François J. Bonnet (Kassel Jaeger) and Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))). Laid bare we have a subtle and nuanced study of their individual practices forming a titanic whole. O’Malley’s guitar inscribes a void that patiently opens up a spacious universe for Bonnet to discreetly alter with perception re-orientating studio maneuvers. Cylene is infinitely rewarding for those that succumb to its …
Gokcen Kaynatan
The missing component in the history of Turkish pop and one of the earliest exponents of Turkish electronic music alongside Ilhan Mimaroglu and Bülent Arel, Gökçen Kaynatan electrified the rock and roll scene of the late '50s/early '60s -- sending teenagers wild with his custom-built guitars and back lines -- helping charge the climate for the birth of Anatolian rock. Then, from the sanctuary of his private studio, he revolutionized the industry with his pioneering use of electronics whilst …

Prague. As the inaugural release of an ongoing discography of previously
unreleased scores from the hugely creative "Film Miracle" that occurred

retain a special place in the heart of the label. Hav…
