Music history wasn't written solely by the major record labels. Beyond the charts, a vibrant scene of independent musicians, producers, and small labels emerged in the 1960s and 70s, whose recordings are now among the most fascinating discoveries in the history of soul, funk, and R&B. Often with no prospect of commercial success, they created their music with remarkable determination-uncompromisingly and on their own terms. For many of these artists, this was the only way. They founded their own…

Caterina Barbieri & Bendik Giske's At Source resounds music as wellspring, that which is essential and unknowable, and yet utterly primary. It finds two acclaimed composer-musicians building a world together in self-contained collaboration between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound. It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the ex…
*150 copies limited release* Sound trails, minimal structures built with pads, discreet electronic elements, slow, deep and enveloping bass lines, backgrounds of confused voices treated in reverse, circular movements alternating with liquid stasis and quiet... Creaks on layered sound substrates of indecipherable nature, which seem to emerge from a thick blanket of fog that reveals fragments of real landscapes here and there, ready to disappear from view again after a few moments, once more hidde…
Hospital Productions is proud to announce ‘Trick’ on 2xLP format. “Trick’ is deeply important to the Hospital history as it was the first time working with the icon Richard Ramirez in 1999. 5 tracks spread across each disc ‘Only If You Want To Fuck’ and ‘Voyage Of Tempted Flesh’. ‘Trick’ shows Ramirez at his most focused, linear, and darkest noise that only he can do. Listeners will be torn between minimalist brittle static and eerie envelope-filter delayed electronics creating a chasm of gravel…

Reissue of a cassette from the UK’s most eccentric and vile noise act.

On Testing the Waters, crys cole follows water through five electroacoustic chapters of drift, friction and slow transformation. Field recordings, instruments and electronics seep into one another, forming a 2023 WDR 3 commission where trickles, resonances and submerged textures continually retune the ear, making movement feel tactile, uncertain and quietly alive.

As his journey progressed, and his coll…
On Pillars, Francesca Flora & nobile build a haunted architecture out of nothing but voice and machinery. Flora’s sighs, screams and murmurs are dissected and reassembled into slow-motion laments and grotesque lullabies, as if Ballard’s singing statues had learned to confess, choke and glow from within.

The music's core is rooted in drone and raga samples complemented by a rich array of ethnic percussions. This 12inch stands out for its authenticity, allowing the sounds of tablas, sitars, and various ethnic wind instruments to flourish openly without being interrupted. There's a notable departure from the usual …
2025 stock Warp's first ever 'guitar-playing' signing make a welcome return with this, their self-titled, second album for the label. Applying less of their signature 'shoegaze' aesthetic, the addition of Boredoms drummer E-da and electronic musician Shigeru Ishihara in the line-up, has given this album much more of a palpable feel than earlier releases on Warp and Too Pure. An invigorating return.

2026 stock, reduced price.

In 1992 they made the briefest summer festival tour to Italy and France, budgeting in two additional days for this recording session. That musical output was pre…

To describe Piero Umiliani's music, we have a word that often comes to mind and which the composer used to entitle one of his most beautiful cues: tensione (tension).Tension, depending on the circumstance to which we apply it, is a term with many meanings but which always expresses a condition of intense participation, of intellectual strife, of energy exerted in the pursuit of a goal.One of his lesser-known works, Blue Nude (1977) is a musically-rich effort that illustrates the artistic tension…
