Shostakovich's 5th Played Backwards In A Concrete Silo
Tastemaker and cult figure among some, noise vendor among others… lurking somewhere in the shadows between London and Paris, the man known as Sheet Noise emerges out of the blue with his debut LP, Shostakovich's 5th Played Backwards in a Concrete Silo.
A direct shock to the system: equally beautiful and evil, abrasive yet uncomfortably calming. The feeling that something is about to happen at any minute—impending love or hatred blaring from the speakers at breakneck speeds. Heavy-duty, reactor-m…
Lattice of Memory
Lattice of Memory (SW019) is the debut collaboration between Eamon Ivri and JQ. The duo began work on the album while touring Ireland and the UK in 2023, with the process continuing both in person and remotely into a work inspired by the perpetration of nostalgia and augmentation of digital memory. The album spools outwards in different directions from its origins as field recordings, audio ripped online, acoustic instrumentation and improvisation. The result aims to extrapolate the source mater…
Fernande, Cecile
After a series of experiments and scores, Natasha Pirard returns with her most intuitive and personal project yet. Turning inward, she dedicates the work to her mother and late grandmother, whose caring presence shaped her life. A photobook of songs rustling through delicate pages of memory—the album weaves her voice, field recordings, synthesizer, and violin into an ode to the lasting influence of her matrilineal line. Fernande, Cecile reflects on these two women: Pirard lost her grandmother at…

Cosmetics For Mannequins
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Daniele Ciullini dissects contemporary society's plastic facades with Cosmetics For Mannequins, eight tracks of manipulated field recordings, toy instruments, and automatic voices that expose the mechanization of human interaction. Recorded at home in 2020 and reworked in 2023, the album reads like a dystopian manual for modern existence.
Titles like "Work Addicted (No Personal Life)" and "Mass Loneliness" reveal Ciullini's sardonic perspective on digital…

The compositions unfold like sensory depriva…

Issue 132 (Magazine + 7", Yellow)

Electric Voyeur / Moonlight, Again
*300 copies limited edition* Big Blood, the intrepid voyagers into the outer reaches of hallucinatory noise-rock and eclectic freakadelia opt for a new path along the circuit board of creativity. Electric Voyeur was made by applying strict limitations using home-made electronic instruments and voice alone. The result is an album that is as trippy as it is devotional in its exquisite craftsmanship. The glorious scent of solder and silicon wafts all over this music. Crafted over the course of ten …

Home
“rat” is an electronic project born from the gutters of Brussels in 2024 by long-standing collaborators “neither” and “Milius.” After 15 years of hidden experiments they have been assembling a sonic language where glitch, ritualised circuitry and spectral noise merge. Their debut release "home" (Futura Resistenza) unfolds as a labyrinth of disjointed rhythms, haunted textures and fleeting moments that feel slightly out of time. Very little is known. All you can do is listen.
Live At The Melkweg 25.9.87
100 copies. C60 cassette with improved master and fullcolor print on the cassette but original printwork. Los Angeles, September 1987. Savage Republic are in the middle of their first European tour when they land at Amsterdam's legendary Melkweg.

Founded in 1981 by Bruce Licher and Mark Erskine in the underground parking garages of UCLA - …
Mechanics & Music (2CD)
"The Italian post-industrial scene has certainly been very rich: bands like Officine Schwartz, Rosemary's Baby, Ain Soph, Sigillum S, Atrax Morgue, T.A.C., and many others are testament to how this genre unexpectedly took root in Italy. F:A.R. came from a quiet city like Savona, yet their claustrophobic, frenzied, and obsessive music seems to originate in some hellish place dominated by disused factories with machinery that occasionally turns on itself. F:A.R. formed in the early 1980s and made …
Entités
2010 release ** Limited numbered edition of 142 copies. Special cardboard sleeve. Entities is the spectral realization of a process of transformation, or even a mutation, of a sound material stemming from recordings of tracks originally created to be played in concert. These works for voice, bass and double bass, processed with computer, were organically modified to insure their concrescence, their future, and confront them with the game of difference. After all, these entities come from everywh…
