Alter Schwede
My Disco’s industrial goth gristle and bones congeal in petrified form on a return to Downwards, benefiting from visceral mixing by legendary Einstürzende Neubauten engineer, Boris Wilsdorf. With a sound that intersects elements of Pan Sonic, Fugazi, Raime, Regis, The Human League’s 'Dignity Of Labour’ and Big Black, 'Alter Schwede’ comes highly recommended to anyone with interests anywhere along that spectrum. Back in the Downwards clammy clutch, Melbourne’s tightest trio compile material recor…
Geometría Prohibida
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Melancholic energy blast from Gran Canaria’s cult trio, MINIATURa, helmed by Eduardo Briganty. Formed in Las Palmas in 2007 and with three records under their belt, "Music Box" (2007), "La Huida Concéntrica" (2012) and "Estrategias de Perdición" (2015), the trio now unleashes its fourth album with a distillation of Briganty's musical and artistic references, coming like a cross of concept album and an unintentional imaginary soundtrack to a David Lynch flick – a…
Flues of Forgotten Sands
*Limited edition of 100 copies, risograph artwork.* Dylan Henner returns to Dauw with his new album Flues of Forgotten Sands. This marimba-based album is the follow-up of his Dauw debut Flues of Disappearing Sand which saw the light in 2020 and sold out quickly. This is the first record Henner completed in fatherhood. Since his daughter was born, life changed in so many ways and as of then, joy holds a new meaning for him. Wonder is a new feeling. It has changed his perspective on life and the w…
Time Turns Into Space

As Llyn Y Cwn he has an extensive back catalogue of dark ambient/environmental soundscapes and atmospheres from above and below the ocean. His Deliquescent Crystals AKA was derived from Ballard's The Crystal World. "In my day job I am an instrumentation technician making oceanographic measurements onboard scientifi…
Sister, Brother, Lover....
*2022 Stock.* Originally issued by Regal Zonophone in 1971, this highly sought after release has been reissued on LP officially. The band's sound has been likened to that of the twin lead guitar style of Help Yourself/early Wishbone Ash with refined vocals. The songs are spiced with tasteful organ/piano and additional percussion throughout. The recording took place at Regent Sounds Studio in London where The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and Pink Floyd also recorded, as well as at equally renown…
The Enlightening Beam Of Axonda
*2022 Stock.* Not to be confused with the famous R'n'B star of the same name, Bobby Brown became known to the public for his bizarre self built percussion set which he played with hands and feet creating a very unusual and peculiar rhythm carpet, not to mention his odd vocal style which added to his intriguing musical choice a touch of captivating madness. Although not electronic, his musical take will be particularly enjoyable for who listened to experimental musicians such as Silver Apples, Un…
Music For Nine Post Cards

Interiors Two (LP + CD)
**300 copies** New impressionistic, metaphysical investigations from Andrew Hargreaves’ Tape Loop Orchestra. Taking his cues from found photos and a hopeless romantic sensibility, Tape Loop Orchestra’s entropic drift carries him thru rooms 7-13 of his ‘Interiors’ trilogy, taking all the time he needs to ponder the questions: “Are there invisible entities left adrift when a room is unoccupied, sounds forever reverberating beyond the life of the body? Is there a way for us to access this librar…
In The Mood (2LP)
** Edition of 200 copies** Second album from the italian artist Massimo Amato, here with a great ensemble of musicians exploring new forms of ambient music infected by etnic moods and his usual psychedelic approach. A smokey, nocturnal ambience of warm Spooner Oldham, Muscle Shoals keys and electronic fizz. Cymbals doubling for midnight waves crashing. A lazy calm of reverbed guitar, that wouldn`t be out of place on a Cocteau Twins record. The use of melodica nods towards the Dub meditations of …
Aquarealm
*In process of stocking* The tenth official full-length by St. Petersburg synth savant Vladimir Karpov aka X.Y.R. is a liquid suite of surreal tranquility, divined and designed to soundtrack the shimmering mysteries of underwater life: Aquarealm. Inspired by vintage Soviet cartoons, nature documentaries, and his own colorful aquarium fish, the album’s seven songs share a mood of contemplative depths and dizzying beauty, adrift in deepwater currents and bioluminescent tides. Hazy tones swell and …
Hypertranslucent
*In process of stocking* sferic venture a new set of plasmic ambient entertainment systems by Jonas Wiese’s TIBSLC, mining that slender but heady sweetspot between the earliest Vladislav Delay productions for Chain Reaction, Japanese environmental x architectural recordings and the sort of gear you’d hear from Move D & Jonas Grossmann at the late 90’s Source Recordings heyday.
sferic pick up the mantle of late ‘90s-into-‘00s ambient with a new variant primed for the times. Following the themes o…
Interpretations of Eternity
*In process of stocking* Technology for the Afterlife (aka Victor Groth) is an ambient/new age artist from Denmark, set to release his debut album Interpretations of Eternity on Cracki Records. The instrumental album explores the frontiers between faith and knowledge, consciousness and oblivion, past and future. It is about longing for a time when rationality and spirituality are not arch enemies, but one and the same. When there is neither science nor religion: Only mythology.
Antibirth
**100 copies limited edition** Eric Copeland's Original soundtrack to Antibirth, Danny Perez's completely insane 2016 film.
Issue 90: ABC (Magazine + 7", gold)
*In process of stocking* A glorious mix of intoxicating pop tunes, slick and funky rhythms, head-swirling strings and super-smart lyrics, ‘The Lexicon Of Love’ still sounds great to this day. No wonder the album entered the UK charts at Number One and stayed in the Top 100 for an entire year. Our cover feature tells the inside story of the record, with Martin Fry taking us back to ABC's roots in the underground synth group Vice Versa. His memories of the early 1980s, a period he describes as "a …
Of Ghosts And Buildings
Long-running Scottish act Cindytalk have transformed numerous times throughout their existence, going from industrial post-punk to electronic noise with an ever-shifting lineup. Now, the group will be compiling their recent recordings in Of Ghosts And Buildings on Japanese label Remodel.
Anemic Cinema
An "anemic cinema" might not make literal sense, but a renowned avant-garde film bears this title, by French-American artist Marcel Duchamp, focused on images of rotating swirls and discs. Junya Tokuda's latest project takes its name from the film, and its highlight track, "Parallax View" stands out on Anemic Cinema. It's an auditory depiction of a parallax—the perception of an object's position changing depending on where it's viewed from. The continuous thumps create the perception of "Paralla…
Rotten Miso
Osaka-based DJ and female electronic musician who has been releasing dub techno-centric tracks under the name Midnight JJ since 2011. In recent years, she has been performing more noisy and experimental live shows under the name Juri Suzue. Her aggressive live electronic sound surprises you with its ultra-low profile. This is her first CD and a long remix of Japa-noise king Merzbow on the B-side.
Midnight Xpander
Veteran experimentalist, Marcia Bassett, returns with "Midnight Xpander", easily one of the most exciting entries into the field of drone and contemporary minimalism that we've encountered in a good while. Predominantly recorded with a Buchla 200 system at EMS in Stockholm, Sweden, and imbued with abstraction and the bristling tension of punk and noise, its subtle structures and intertwining harmonics immerse the mind in a deeply organic, hallucinatory realm that places Bassett at forefront of t…
