Hotel paral.lel
*2022 stock* "Re-mastered at Piethopraxis in Köln, July 2007. "Hotel Paral.lel", originally released in September 1997 by Mego, was Christian Fennesz's debut solo album. Following up from the EP "Instrument", it was an investigation into the sonic possibilties residing in guitar based digital music, recorded just before mobile computing devices became the norm. A far more darker and experimental work than what was to follow. Freeform noise, sliced techno beats and subtle ambient textures create …
qXn948s
SoiSong is the stunning but short-lived partnership of Coil co-founder Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and veteran Russian electronic experimentalist Ivan Pavlov. Though friends since 1997, the project birthed roughly a decade later in Bangkok, where Christopherson relocated following the death of his Coil collaborator John Balance in 2004. Named after the Thai word for ‘two’ along with a notorious red-light district street nearby, the duo dialed into a cryptic language of lurching synthetics, Eas…
TIBLSC Re-Works of Since It Turned Out Something Else
Constructive are pleased to announce our fifth release, reworks by TIBSLC of Adrian Corker's recent album 'Since It Turned Out Something Else'. Having met earlier this year when TIBSLC played at an album launch in London at Cafe Oto, Corker asked if they would be interested in taking the tracks as raw material to create a new set of pieces. The original acoustic worlds of the tracks, a combination of contemporary composition and electroacoustic techniques , are transformed into complex ever shif…
Call and Response
Stefan Goldmann's 'Call and Response' has been crafted entirely from artificial reverb and nothing else: historic and contemporary units, responding only to brief electronic impulses (clicks).
Imaginary Landscapes
chant#11 is the first various artists compilation by David August's imprint featuring KMRU, Yu Su, Kareem Lotfy, Hadj Sameer, Sara Berts and more. Including also two new projects by August himself, Aşa (with jazz-noise vocalist Cansu Tanrikulu) and Madrā (with Carnatic vocalist Sushma Soma).
Observing how the world is continuously transforming, an idea of motion comes to mind. Inspired by Plato's concept of movement ("Nothing ever is, everything is becoming"), 99Chants has invited artists to c…
Many Worlds Interpretation

Hidden Gem
*In process of stocking* 'Hidden Gem' is the Zenmenn's first full album produced together with songwriter and vocalist John Moods and follows their much-loved debut record, 'Enter The Zenmenn'. Named after a country song that didn't quite make it to the final selection, 'Hidden Gem' is the result of an extended jam session at a friend’s studio, in a field of mystical meadows somewhere south of Hamburg, in which the band would experience a series of inexplicable phenomena.
It was their earlier co…
Senno I
The debut album from group A's Tommi Tokyo is an illusory marvel made up of snatched half-heard voices, ritualistic rhythms, digi-fucked power electronics and emetic sci-fi drones. Impossible to classify, incredible to absorb - like Vainio, Stockhausen, Anima, Porter Ricks and Ramleh playing in a small room.
1 For One
Rezo Glonti (aka Aux Field), Georgian sound artist and electronic music producer debuts on the label One Instrument with an album entirely made with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. He mostly works within the field of experimental music and places a strong emphasis on the incorporation of texture and space into his compositions.
On his new album “1 For One” Rezo Glonti created all the layers of the pieces in one take. As always, Glonti’s playing is deceptively elegant, raw but precise, attuned to r…
Dora Agora
*In process of stocking* Ekin Fil returns to the guitar on Dora Agora. Her earliest recordings, notably her debut on Root Strata, prominently featured guitar in this urgent expressions of a dreamy dreariness that immediately offered enthusiastic comparisons to Grouper. In her development as composer of ephemeral ghostliness for numerous albums as well as her scores to film soundtracks, that instrument has given way to keyboards, organs, synths, and various mood engineering devices, in her beauti…
Departing In Descent
Anyone who's cast even the most casual eye over their ever expanding catalogue will have realised that one thing Past Inside The Present do best is bring artists together for unexpected and inspired collaborations. Departing in Descent is the first collaboration between James Bernard and Bvdub but their creative conversation effectively started as far back as 1994 when the latter bought Bernard's Atmospherics album in 1994 when it was "mistakenly stocked" in his local house music store. He says …
CSound & Saz
Anthony Moore (Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, Kevin Ayers, Pink Floyd) releases his second album and first CD for Touch. CSound & Saz was recorded live for Touch's 40th anniversary event at Iklectik in May 2022. "I wanted to balance the digital output of a CSound orchestra with an analogue instrument and chose the Turkish saz, a sound I've loved and lived with for the last 6 decades."
A coincidence is perfect, intimate attunement
Second Editions presents a new collaborative work by Marja Ahti and Judith Hamann.
Rideau
On their third album, »Rideau«, Swedish trio Tape made their great leap forward. Released in 2005 on Häpna, following two albums of pastoral folk meets electronica, »Rideau« saw the trio of Andreas and Johan Berthling, and Tomas Hallonsten, working with an outside producer, Marcus Schmickler (best known for his post-rock outfit Pluramon). On »Rideau«, Tape’s music opened out considerably, embracing traditional minimalism, and luscious melodicism. Now, seventeen years later, »Rideau« has a new ho…

FrequencyLib / Sad Mac Studies
Stephan Mathieu's FrequencyLib was originally released in 2001 on Mille Plateaux's Ritornell sublabel. A quintessential document of the late 1990s/early 2000s Pismo PowerBook era of digitally manipulated audio, FrequencyLib is an adept meditation on the entropic possibilities inherent in popular music. Included with this reissue is the complementary Sad Mac Studies EP - first issued in a run of 100 on Robert Meijer's boutique En/Of label. Exploring similar themes/processes as FrequencyLib, Sad M…
Echonomy Split Series #5
**70 copies limited edition. Riso-printed booklet accompanied by a multi-page conversation between Laure and Laurent. In process of stocking** It is with great pleasure that we release the fifth installment of our Echonomy split serie and present a special father and daughter collaboration. In 2021, Berlin-based French artist Laure Boer found by chance old tapereels of her father, French conductor Laurent Boer. In 1981, the latter participated in a GRM workshop in Paris, during which he created …
Transplant Rejection
**Limited edition. In process of stocking** 'Transplant Rejection’ is the second in a trilogy of cassette albums released via Muscut in the latter half of 2022. The work of Estonian artist and IDA Radio co-founder Robert Nikolajev, this collection of seven ‘almost’ dark ambient tracks embody the melancholy of autumn whilst hinting at the forthcoming eternal winter. A man with many hats, Nikolajev operates on the fringes of the leftfield house underground for labels such as Incienso, Collect-Call…
Hypersensitive
**150 copies limited edition** The third in a row of Muscut cassette albums due in the latter half of 2022, ‘Hypersensitive’ collects ambient and fictional soundtrack works by Kyiv musician Ian Yeriomenko. Across the nine tracks, this usual fixture of the city's electro/techno scene fits perfectly into the spectral and nostalgic easy listening world that Dmytro Nikolaienko’s label is widely known for.
As Radiant Futur, Yeriomenko explores similar themes to their experimental film-making practice…
Urania
**200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking** Muscut presents Urania by Arthur Mine. Tracks A1 and A4 were previously released on Arthur Mine Dispersed Mind EP (2021, Sine Language Records)
