Layering Buddha
For AI-41 Astral Industries presents a vinyl reissue of Robert Henke’s multifaceted concept album ‘Layering Buddha’. An erudite masterclass on sampling and composition, ‘Layering Buddha’ encapsulates the material process of metamorphosis and a well of nascent, ever-present potentialities. This new edition comes remastered by Henke himself.

VEIL + e/tape remix (Gems Under the Horizon 3)
Multidisciplinary Brussels-based artist Sagat steps up with a new mini album on the Basic Moves side label, Gems Under The Horizon, featuring a remix by Slovenian ambient bird e/tape. A few years ago, Wiet Lengeler, aka Sagat was invited by Basic Moves to create a live visual show using an analogue video synth setup to accompany a 5-hour dj set by e/tape at Face B in Brussels. From that moment on, the synchronicity between the two artists was clear - and this EP is the result.
Besides his visua…
Assume Intimacy
Shattered, I began to turn to the core. The swirling ease that is shedding its skin to remember me; In my deepest, I always assumed the intimate. Dawning in me gently and unaltered I can feel you, you unnamed. Inward, my beloved—are you the world? Can you touch me with your quiet?
Me, looking through you; you, nesting in me.
Naturally, you place your melody in the shell of my ear. Ever listening, I find myself playing the strings of your instrument that bodies my imagination.
Come closer, my …
Déplier la cervelle secrète
‘Déplier la cervelle secrète’: 12 pieces created from recordings of sequences, (almost) all from the same analogue synthesiser. Material from a single source put to the test of composition, in what could be described as a power struggle: faced with the fragmented inertia of the sound material, searching for resources, relationships and combinations.
In this compact and eruptive material, the pulsating sound patterns reveal new intentions. The result is this album, born of electroacoustic ‘so…
Dreamcast
"The Dreamcast tracks were composed and recorded in a week, while learning to use a K.-O.2 sampler, which was later discredited. They somehow replay the state of virtual projection that a console or idea-image of a game console intensifies over time, only to be forgotten when other means begin to channel these projections. It's a capture of a fairly basic kind of consumerist regression, let's say. But it's also a way of reconnecting with the characteristics of image rendering, body forms and env…
The Journey To Reach The Fathers
A descent beyond death, a return to the origins of memory.
Maggots On The Cliffside
Two names. Four decades of uncompromising noise. One collision. Genocide Organ - the masked Mannheim collective who have defined the outer limits of power electronics since 1985, founders of the legendary Tesco Organisation, architects of Leichenlinie and Save Our Slaves - meet Prurient, the Wisconsin-born, New York-forged vessel of Dominick Fernow, the man who built Hospital Productions from a teenager's bedroom label into the most influential noise imprint of the 21st century.
This is not thei…

Nacht
*200 copies limited edition* Aesthetical presents Nacht, a new collaborative project uniting Franck Vigroux, the renowned French composer, producer and sound artist, with Loïc Varanguien de Villepin, poet and vocalist known for his intense spoken-word performances and existential lyricism.

Yet where Vigrou…
In This Our Life
*300 copies limited edition* Beyond Sensory Experience announce "In This Our Life", a new album that extends and deepens the austere, melancholic sound they have refined since their formation in 2001.

Restless Thoughtlessness
*2025 stock* Utah Kawasaki's 36th solo album following his previous "Songs I Played 2" released in 2013. “Based on a web page that analyzes the non-disclosed NRPN (MIDI message indigenous to a device) specifications of the Alesis Micron digital synthesizer, I implemented a program that changes its configurable parameter value little by little (like floating in a space that has [Number of Parameters] units of dimensions). I ran that program and let it go on, and recorded two sessions each for an …
Clouds Ov Deconstruction
The Austrasian Goat started as a black metal outfit that was meant to be anti-nationalist (and of course anti fascist) but that proved ultimately too taxing a fight to have within the genre’s flawed genetics… but The Austrasian Goat never died and comes back as beautiful and bold as ever, its fur now bruised but gilded. The Austrasian Goat is Julien Louvet, who has expertly mastered most of our latest releases, channeling his music from Metz, capital of Austrasia.

Nanawatai
*111 copies limited edition. Noble A5 sized Digipak, 350g Cardboard* Hor-cheret refers to the name of Horus as a child of Isis and Osiris in Egypt mythology. This is not meant to be seen as a an imperfect and childish god, but as the one who is placed over the speech of men concerning the gods. His imperfection is a reminder to overcome the own inabilities. As Plutarch says, the finger at his mouth is a symbol of silence and secrecy.
Hor-cheret is a ritual and martial music project by members of…
