Music from Netherlands

"Calls!" is the third album by Paal Nilssen-Love Circus, following "Pairs of Three" (2022) and the live recording "Turn Thy Loose" (2025). Circus originally emerged from Large Unit as a side project but quickly grew into its own band. The group performs music composed by Paal, and in live performances the musicians are free to play any parts of any song at any time. On this studio recording they take a different approach: the songs were recorded separately and carefully produced. On the live alb…

From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's ris…

*2026 repress* Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascada …

*200 copies limited edition* "Listening from the 80’s to Ambient explorations in the form of IDM, Minimal Techno and other more experimental Glitch, Clicks & Cuts styles and its creative, playful use of rhythmical structures and sounds, inspired me to take a step out of my musical comfort zone into more beat driven area’s and so, I bought myself a MPC Key 37 and overwhelmingly started hitting the pads, pressing the keys, twisting the knobs, in attempt to let my musical history repeat itself with…

*200 copies limited edition* Focussing more on the atmospheric-ambient-drone side of the moon, Spielerei presents seven moving soundscapes, all composed, performed, recorded and finally mixed in the cozy environment of the artist living room studio, where sacred rituals of black coffee, love & peace and musical creativity are cherished.

When Bass Communion was invited to appear at a Fourth Dimension/LTCo label event at Cafe OTO in May 2024, Steven Wilson (the man behind BC) agreed on the condition that his long-time friend and fellow traveller of music’s furthest reaches Frans de Waard could join him. Being acquainted with Frans’ work and having even released a couple of things by him ourselves over the years (on Fourth Dimension), we were more than happy with this idea. However, when the pair met in London at Steven's studio t…

At the beginning of this journey, I had no clear idea of what I was getting into. What started as a simple poem, with embedded audio links referencing a selection of recordings I had made over the past few years and published on Metalabel and my website, eventually evolved into a video project designed as a proposal for an installation. Ultimately, it culminated in this music album. I am incredibly grateful for the amazing voice recordings that friends and family from all over the world sent me,…

Dutch 80s cassette pioneer meets Blood Incantation's cosmic ambient side. Enno Velthuys recordings paired with Riedl's archival drift. Meditative, intimate, timeless.

Business card CDr. "It was about time that I released a business card CDr again. I also had this drawing which I thought would work great as a cover image. The only thing I had to do is make the music for it. So here it is. It turned out a bit dramatic, stylistically, with desolate fog horn like swells and faint electronic rumblings. It's all quite sombre, but with all the horrible conflicts in the world today, what else could I do?"
