*100 copies limited edition* Yama is the Hindu god of Death and Justice, and is responsible for the dispensation of law and punishment of sinners. Yama is also one of the oldest deities in the pantheon and some of his earliest appearances are found in the Rigveda.

*2026 stock* The album features a mesmerizing live recording of Absolute Body Control captured at the historic Altes Stadtbad in Leipzig, Germany during the E‑Festival. Showcasing 11 standout tracks from the band's remarkable catalogue, the release delivers raw energy, atmospheric synth textures, and a powerful, intimate performance that highlights their signature blend of cold-wave minimalism and dark electronic intensity. Remastered for clarity, the recording preserves the venue's cavernous ac…

*80 copies limited edition* I often went for walks in the Colonster woods; I always found the place quite mysterious, both in its light and its soundscapes. These soundscapes evolve as you walk through the woods, passing through its lights and fir forests crisscrossed by streams that guide you along the paths. For many months, I returned to this site, without necessarily having any expectation or goal other than to record improvisation sessions and soundscapes. For this project, I wanted to work…

*50 copies limited edition* Live cd recorded at De Audio Plant in Antwerp in September 2025. This show was the release event for our Wonderful Brutalism lp that came out in the same month. Just like that record, this cd continues to investigate our combination of the taishogoto with Dirk’s drums and percussion. A sound described as singular by some and brutal by others. We will be hitting the studio in the nearby future to further examine the possibilty of our duo and for all we know this may be…

With their anticipated new album, Black Flower delves into the transformative power of rhythm and motion. Each groove, rhythm and pulse channels raw energy, acting as a disruptor that drives transformation. When the mind feels stuck—cemented in patterns, rigid in its views, overwhelmed by obstacles—Kinetic serves as a reminder that the body’s motion can be the force to shatter those confines. To move is to adapt, evolve, and transform. The album embodies a philosophy of flowing with change rathe…

2012 CD re-issue with slightly altered contents of the wonderful self-released first solo album from 2002 by member of In Camera (with Christoph Heemann), Elodie (with Andrew Chalk) and Noise-Maker's Fifes. Outstandigly beautiful and original music.

1995 VHS on Discordia by Dirk Ivens' industrial/EBM project with a film by Petulia Mattioli and the involvement of Sigillum S.

"Musica Mosaica undertakes an experimental exploration of sounds, viewed not merely as simple acoustic phenomena, but as truly living realities. From this perspective, experimentation is by no means a convenient metaphor used to illustrate an intuitive or informal approach. On the contrary, it is meant literally — deliberate, almost scientific: each musical piece becomes a small laboratory where sounds are observed as animated entities, with their own morphology, with impulses that bring them cl…

Open Sky Unit capture a warm‑blooded corner of 1970s Belgian jazz where a family of musicians stretches soul songs into jazz‑funk sermons, turning a small Liège club into a glowing, rough‑edged sanctuary.

Kreng transports us through the swirling darkness and into the unknown with “Wormhole”, his first album in over a decade. What does a trip towards another world sound like? We’re about to find out. The master of tension, melancholy, and the deranged is back after a long period working in the worlds of theatre and cinema. Last seen on Miasmah with the grief stricken The Summoner, Kreng now returns with Wormhole, following closer in the footsteps of the cult classics L’Autopsie Phénoménale de Dieu…

After more or less 20 albums on guitar released since 2005 on LPs, cassettes and CDs, the first real album on piano by Belgian singer-songwriter Bram Devens aka. Ignatz. In 1910, the illustrator George Herriman created the Krazy Kat comic strip. Ignatz, a vicious mouse, was Krazy Kat’s arch enemy, and his favourite pastime was to throw bricks at Krazy Kat’s head (who misinterpreted the mouse’s actions as declarations of love). Ignatz is the alter-ego of Belgian musician Bram Devens. Since 2005, …

A delirious cult concept album disguised as pop, first released in 1971, where psychedelic grooves, funk and global rhythms meet phonetic pseudo-Japanese chants, judo-master ritual cries and a children's choir. Sampled by Erykah Badu, Madlib and DopeLemon, and the unlikely spark behind Bananarama's debut. This can only be the fabulous world of Yamasuki. In the spring of 1971, somewhere between Brussels, Paris and a collective pop fever dream, Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki landed on vinyl. It so…

Lavish and rare 3LP box set released in 2010 by the infallible Metapho label containing previously unreleased recordings by highly underrated Belgian electronic music pioneer, an amazing selection of concrete, electronic and experimental instrumental works spanning over a period of 40 years.

*50 copies limited edition* "Tony Conrad has always been a constant inspiration for both Glen and myself and one of the main reasons we started making drone music in the first place. When Paul Williams contacted me last year about the relaunch of Table Of The Elements, I proposed a screening of the Tony Conrad documentary followed by a performance of our duo Mertens & Steenkiste. As a filmmaker myself, I wondered if it would be possible for us to score one of Tony’s films, more specifically his …

Following on from 2014’s ‘Terrestre’ 12”, Lawrence Le Doux returns to Belgium’s Vlek label with the ‘Pollution’ EP, 4 tracks of playful, hauntologically minded Electronica and Techno. Kicking off with the mesmerising loops of ‘Floor’, Le Doux works his machines to create an analogue gyre that ensnares the unguarded listener and neatly segues into ‘Liquide’ where a sublime mist of gentle hiss settles over his unworldly, almost naive, sounding synths and metronomic beat. On the B-side the EP’s tit…

*100 copies limited edition* This is a special work by acclaimed composer and musician Adriaan de Roover, who has released records on Dauw, Viernulvier, Pias, and Consouling Sounds. Chansons de trottoir / Stoepliedjes documents his relationship to sampling in the form of a radio play. Originally created as a radio piece for Resonance FM in Manchester, the album is a sonic portrait of a walk through Brussels. It is constructed from two field recordings: one made during a walk from Metro Midi towa…

On Postcards from Arrakis, BeNe GeSSeRiT turn early‑’80s bedroom electronics into a fractured sci‑fi cabaret, where Alain Neffe’s minimal, skewed backdrops and Nadine Bal’s bilingual/imaginary vocal spills collide in short, surreal missives from a parallel cheap‑cosmic Belgium.
