Sorry, No Service
DJ Marcelle's career has flourished on her own terms, with many critically acclaimed releases: in the past six years alone this Dutch woman has released five albums and numerous ep's. On stage and in the studio she transcends a feeling of freedom whilst always moving forward. Marcelle turns her DJ sets into full-on sonic adventures; she's the g.o.a.t of dancefloor eclecticism.
Underloop
After following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End. Following relatively hot on the heels of 2023's Tilt (his first in 11 years, not counting his work with Jackson Bailey under the Rezzett guise) Underloop brings Blair's innate knack for building loops and sound structures further to the surface, while allowing his ear for emotional expression to be dialled up a notch.

Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered pri…
Hungry Vortex
With Hungry Vortex, Polypores pushes his kosmische synth language into a delirious hybrid of polyrhythmic trance, cosmic jazz-prog and gently lysergic minimalism, four side‑long excursions that feel at once meticulously engineered and wildly feral. A hypnotic, deeply emotional capstone to a ridiculously fertile phase.
Lost in the Valley of the Sun
For the follow up to their self-titled debut for Bluesanct, Pacific Walker went in search of the occulted answers to cosmic inquiry, charting a star-crossed course across the elder seas of private-press new age cassettes and back-catalogue self-help tapes.
Still waters run deep and from those depths, the guiding light they find may lead them to an eternity far beyond their third-eye ideologies.
Like Ted Lucas on a brown tab from Gibby Haynes, our sonic travelers find themselves lost in the slush…
Superdank
Lo Five is as proud as he is anxious to present SUPERDANK, a CD album packed to the green gills with heavy dubs for sleepy schlubs. SUPERDANK is ostensibly presented as a collection of hardware stoner jams, structured in the form of an hour long edible-induced psycho-narrative, taking the listener on an aural voyage - kicking off at pleasant buzztown, calling past existential paranoiaville, then landing back in the relative safety of sofaborough in time for tea and crumpets. But what is SUPERDAN…
Sunset and Forever
Sunset and Forever finds Cindytalk once again stepping into the faultline between collapse and renewal, extending a project that has always treated the band itself as sculptural material to be broken apart and reformed. From the earliest days of Camouflage Heart and In This World, Cinder’s vision fused post‑punk dissonance, industrial dirge, and abject rock deconstruction with a strangely luminous vocal presence – the same voice that threaded through early This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins reco…
Cyan Music
Tip! ** Edition of 70 ** On Cyan Music, Atte Elias Kantonen sets out to answer a deceptively simple question: what happens when shimmer and sheen – qualities usually belonging to light – are reimagined as pure sound. Across eight pieces he uses radiant, meticulously sculpted synthesis to build a world where timbre behaves like reflective surfaces, refracting and scattering in ways that feel almost tangible. Rather than leaning on obvious ambient tropes, he treats each track as a small laboratory…
Music From The Other Side Of The Fence
A collection of previously unreleased material (between '75 & '90) by Enno Velthuys.Compiled by Hessel Veldman.

This reissue series will not only preserve his legacy but will also offer listeners the chance to experience the depth and timeless resonance of Sherman’s work in its full glory…

Electronic Sound magazine opens 2026 with a spectacular cover story dedicated to Düsseldorf synthpop pioneers Propaganda, accompanied by an exclusive clear vinyl seven-inch featuring newly reworked versions of their two most iconic tracks. The 7" presents subtle but striking new mixes of 'Dr Mabuse' and 'Duel', crafted by acclaimed UK producer David Kosten (Everything Everything, Bat For Lashes). 'Dr Mabuse' retains all its original dark allure and cinematic tension, while 'Duel' reaffirms its s…
Muzak For The Encouragement Of Unproductivity
Inspired by Sam Kidel’s ›mimetic hacking‹ concept, Berlin-based composer Jasminev Guffond pipes opiated brass and woodwind motifs into a reverb chamber modelled on an Amazon fulfilment centre.
»Muzak for the Encouragement of Unproductivity« is a poetic inversion of Muzak’s traditional role in stimulating seamless productivity in the workplace. Beginning as a pre-radio music distribution network (1934, U.S.), Muzak was transmitted along electrical wires with the intention of being at once ubiquit…
Studies On A River
»Ka ora te awa. Ka ora te iwi. The river is well, so the people are well«, says artist and writer Hana Pera Aoake. »In a Māori worldview, everything is connected and contains mauri, the life spark or essence inherent in all things, as they contain the residue of ancestors through whakapapa, or genealogy. Within Western environmental histories, there is a gap in knowledge around what we can learn through an act of listening.«
Hana Pera Aoake’s words resonated with Hinako Omori when they were invi…
In A Few Places Along The River
Soft Echoes presents the first physical edition of ‘In a Few Places Along the River’ by Abul Mogard as a limited run of 500 vinyl copies. Originally released digitally in 2022, the album now appears in its intended form, marking the label’s second release.
Three long pieces, composed between 2019 and 2022, emerged from Mogard’s meticulous experimentation with analogue and digital instruments. Slowly evolving harmonic fields of layered drones and spectral textures drift across the record. They ar…
Standers
The devil’s in the details. It always was and it always will be. It’s there for those who seek it out.
Regnum Nubium
The mist ravaged the tall treetops. With it carried the distant prayers of the friars isolated among the rocks, who knelt before God every day. And, in the stillness, echoes of tragedies. Of frenzied jealousy. The moribund voice of a stabbed brother, and the tearing of murderous flesh. Deep valleys and flat clearings. What remained of the calamity and pestilence impregnated in the stone he trod upon. Brothers in God, brothers in death. Stones erected in a circle. Overwhelmed by the mist that dis…
In The Harrowing Distance
This record is a reflection on the end of existence, marked by the illness, the courage, the struggle and the final departure of N. Gomes during its making, to whom it is dedicated. May you wander freely in the shadowless lands!
"In the harrowing distance" stands out from previous Karnnos records. Experimentalism and musicality are woven together on pieces that range from subtility to agressiveness. With a renewed focus on electronics and a new set of instruments (the zither and the harmonium we…
Milano Undiscovered - Early 80s Electronic Disco Experiments
*2026 repress* 40 years after the beginnings of the Italo disco movement 'Milano Undiscovered' leads us to discover the first ferments of the Milanese post-punk dance scene. In the early 80's future producers began to veer towards a form of dance music not yet defined, what once seemed like an experimental form, today sounds like a cornerstone for future development in the club scene of key city as Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam.
Italo disco was first mistreated, then exalted, forgotten …
Muslimlahore
A powerful new archival release from the legendary experimental project Muslimgauze, titled Muslimlahore, is now available worldwide via Bandcamp. This album continues the ongoing posthumous excavation of Bryn Jones’ vast and politically charged body of work, offering listeners a fresh immersion into his unique blend of ethnic electronica, dub, and tape-based soundscapes.
Muslimlahore presents a suite of tracks that reflect Muslimgauze’s enduring fascination with South Asian and Islamic themes, …
Bone Flower
*100 copies limiteed edition* Bone Flower is the vinyl debut by Belgian musician Ben Van Houdt (Sitka), releasing solo work since 2015. Born from a decade of sound experiments, the album unfolds as a focused and emotionally charged performance, fusing modern classical elements with drone and minimalist composition. Centered around bowed guitar that drifts between the timbral spaces of cello and violin, its harmonic textures are shaped by magnetic tape and decaying sound structures, creating mome…
