On Super Compact Disc, Masonna rams his entire harsh‑noise vocabulary into a brutally compressed format: hyper‑short eruptions of feedback, distortion and mangled voice that hit like jump‑cuts between micro‑meltdowns, leaving no room to breathe or acclimate.
On Situations | Useless Mouths, The Mistys pivot from solitude to shared euphoria, channelling restless electronics and Beth Roberts’ shapeshifting vocals into a bright, subversive celebration of joy as fuel, shelter and quietly defiant energy.
** 2025 CD Repress ** Beatriz Ferreyra has been at the forefront of electroacoustic music composition since 1963 when she joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales as one of Pierre Schaeffer’s research assistants. She is one of very few composers still performing who was instrumental at the beginning of Schaeffer’s theories of sound objects and reduced listening techniques. She continues to compose commissioned works and perform around the world in a career that has spanned some sixty years.From…
A milestone. T H I R - Ten Hundred Inch Radii - is among the most historically significant works in Phill Niblock's output, and one of the genuinely undiscovered jewels of American experimental film. Completed in 1972 as the fourth and final chapter of his Environments cycle - begun in 1968 - it is presented here for the first time on DVD, with two alternate soundtracks, by the Italian imprint Von.
Niblock occupies a peculiar and underacknowledged position in the history of American Minimalism. …
Let us take you back. Waaay back. According to early Greek mythology, the three powerful sons of the god Kronos divided up the cosmos after overthrowing their father: Poseidon ruled the sea, Zeus commanded the heavens, and Hades reigned over the underworld. Conversely, this latest offering from the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble completes the group's corresponding trilogy - Oceanic Suite (2016), Celestial Suite (2023), and now Mystic Suite (2026). As you might expect, this Mystic Suite, inspired by Hade…
Reduced Price, last copies ** 2024 Much-needed repress, Llimited edition of 150 copies, silkscreened covers and printed insert. ** A hazy, claustrophobic bridge between minimalism, drone, creative conceptualism, ambient music, and noise, we’re thrilled to offer the first ever vinyl reissue of Nord’s “Psycotron - 1” - one of the greatest and most sought-after holy grails of early Japanese Noise. Recorded by Hiroshi Oikawa only a handful of years before his complete disappearance and originally i…
**2026 Stock ** Japanese free/jazz sax legend, Kaoru Abe, dies at the age of only 29 in 1978, living a fast and crazy life and dieing of a drug overdose. His entire music career was only 10 years, from 1968 to 1978. In that short period, he was well recorded with around 30 releases, ten of which are solo sax efforts, duos with guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi, bassist Motoharu Yoshizawa and drummer Sabu Toyozumi. Mr. Abe also toured and recorded with Milford Graves, Derek Bailey and Toshinori Konda…

*2025 stock* A sweet electric 70s session from the mighty Joao Donato – very different than his earlier bossa work of the 60s – and with the same funky appeal as the best work on his classic Quem E Quem album! This set's got a tighter feel overall – very much in a samba soul style, with lots of great Brazilian bits mixed up with funk and jazz touches – including a range of great keyboards handled by Donato himself! Drums are by the mighty Wilson Das Neves – who brings in some breaks at a few poi…

Amarga Navidad marks their fifteenth film together, following more than thirty years of intense collaboration and worldwide success with such films as All About My Mother, Talk To Her, Volver …
Chameleon Body suggests shape-shifting, adaptation, camouflage - apt metaphors for Merzbow's endlessly mutating sonic identity. The chameleon changes appearance while remaining essentially itself; similarly, Akita's work transforms constantly while maintaining recognizable characteristics. The "body" element grounds these transformations in physicality.
This golden-period document captures the project at peak flexibility, demonstrating Akita's ability to shift between approaches without losing c…
This live recording from Doshisha University captures Merzbow in performance during the Pulse Demon era - a unique document of how golden-period studio work translated to live contexts. The academic setting creates intriguing tension: extreme noise in an institution of learning, challenging assumptions about appropriate sound.
Akita's live performances during this period were legendary - intense, confrontational experiences testing audiences' physical and psychological limits. University perform…
Volume 2. Unlike earlier Archive installments sourced from cassette masters, this series was remastered from original DAT tapes, ensuring superior audio quality. These volumes collect shorter pieces - concentrated bursts of Akita's most celebrated period. The decision to release "small works" separately reflects curatorial sensitivity; these pieces might otherwise be lost as bonus tracks.
They demonstrate that Merzbow's genius operates at any duration - brevity concentrates rather than diminishe…

*150 copies limited edition* Headlights Recordings presents Manuel Mota's new work 1-7. Manuel Mota is known for the personal vocabulary he has developed for the guitar. His music draws inspiration from a multitude of references loosely rooted in the blues tradition to craft a sound which was highly regarded by Derek Bailey. Actual but transmitting an enigmatic sense of timelessness. The moment of creation- composition, and the instrumental execution- playing, are to him indistinct, and that's w…
*50th Anniversary Remaster* Outstanding!! Matsuli Music presents soul, spirituality and avant-garde jazz from South African political exile Ndikho Xaba. Its rarity has until now served to obscure both its beauty and its historical significance. Making profound links between the struggle against apartheid and the Black Power movement in the USA Ndikho Xaba and the Natives is arguably the most complete and complex South African jazz LP recorded in the USA. It stands out as a critical document in t…
Tip! Kitchen. Label is proud to present Agate, the latest album by Japanese artist Meitei, marking a deepening of the world he first shaped through his Kofū trilogy released between 2020 - 2023.

Agate brings together extended and newly rearranged works from across the Kofū cycle alongside new compositions and passages, refining material developed thr…
