Os Princípios do Novo Homem
**100 copies** Out of the eight “Principles Of The New Man”, making up the play staged at Malaposta in October/November 2020, four are cut out for this independent soundtrack release. Precisely those which author and director Pedro Saavedra designated for distinct sound pieces. The remaining four are accompanied by The Background (“A Base”), a long, hypnotic, meditative and pulsating piece over which the listener is offered a chance of imaginative creation, just as in the play it assumes a backg…
Liminal Movements
**150 copies** Since they started @c in 2000, Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela have been mainly focused on creating electronic computer music. Throughout the years they have developed their own language, mastered the sense of sound/sound-design in their pieces and have created a body of work that relates simultaneously with musique concrete, 90s electronic glitch music and early electronics. It does not necessarily sound like any of those genres but evokes them. “Liminal Movements” finds its o…
A Casa E Os Cães / Sabor A Terra
**120 copies** “Outros Cortes”, from “A Casa E Os Cães”, ends with some of the characters from the film whispering random phrases with a vague tone. It is fast and, at first, it sounds incomplete, interrupted. After a minute or so it becomes clear that those first impressions are wrong. The soundtrack for the film by Madalena Fragoso and Margarida Meneses is composed of fragments that create a sustained harmony. Polido explores the concept of a soundtrack, using and reusing sounds of the film to…
ZAMPLER001
**100 copies** We were about to release “Textures & Lines” (by Drumming GP, Joana Gama & Luís Fernandes) when the Covid-19 crisis hit Portugal hard. A tour had been organized around it and it was obviously cancelled, but we kept the street date anyway. On the same week we decided to try and not hold back any of our future releases, respecting our previous schedule as a way to support the artists we are working with, thinking about the current situation but also the unpredictable future. With tha…

Textures & Lines
"Textures & Lines" started as an invitation by Portuguese ensemble Drumming GP to work with the duo Joana Gama & Luís Fernandes. Joana's piano and Luís's electronics find new territories in a mix of subtle and raw use of percussions. In four pieces they defy the limits of classical contemporary music and create a landscape that evolves in each listening.Joana Gama - Piano, PercussionJoão Dias - PercussionJoão Miguel Braga Simões - PercussionLuis Fernandes - Electronics, PercussionMiquel Bernat -…
Olímpia
**150 copies** "Part of a long steady lineage of Portuguese romantics, Pedro Magina breaks a five-year hiatus after releases on Not Not Fun and Mental Groove. When we first heard these songs, we were mesmerized by their mellowness. Inspired by many changes in his life over the last few years, “Olímpia” is a straight to the heart record, mixing lounge atmospheres, Balearic heat and the blissful “I don’t give a shit feeling” about what’s happening out there. This is not a 2020 record. This is a fo…
Black Horses Of The Sun
*2022 stock* Black Horses of the Sun is the latest release from Dave Bessell. This artist will be familiar as one of the founding members of analogue supergroup Node but has also in recent years released a number of fascinating solo recordings (including Morphogenic with Parallel Worlds DiN41). These new tracks build on the distinctive detailed atmospheric style of previous releases and add a more melodic focus that gives the proceedings an extra layer of interest this time around. As with previ…
Tone Science
*2022 stock* Ian Boddy, DiN label boss, is one of the best known names in UK electronic music. He has been releasing music for over 35 years as well as playing concerts, creating sound design and composing library music. Yet despite this long musical career he still manages to surprise his listeners and Tone Science could represent his most experimental album to date. For this release Boddy has returned to his musical roots where experimentation was the name of the game. He has always been fasci…
Node Live
*2022 stock* Synth supergroup Node don’t do things by halves so when they decided to perform an all to rare concert in London in 2015 they chose non other than the auspicious venue of the Royal College of Music. It’s almost certain that those hallowed halls have not seen such an assemblage of vintage and modular gear before, although indeed that could be said of anywhere else one can care to imagine. The four members of Node, maverick producer and sonic legend Flood, renowned producer and compos…
Liquid Geometries
*2022 stock* Evan Bartholomew has been performing electronic music for nearly 20 years as Bluetech, Evan Marc, Invisible Allies (with Kilowatts), and is one of the founders of MicrodoseVR, with Android Jones and the Vision Agency team. He is an internationally recognised touring music producer with over 27 album/EP releases in the last 15+ years, and has a seasoned portfolio of video game and film/tv scoring credits.

I Love You So Much I Can't Even Title This
**2022 stock. Edition of 150 copies ** In November of 1938, Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' was broadcast on radio for the first time. It was regarded as "full of pathos and cathartic passion", and "perfect in mass and detail". While it was generally well-received, it was also criticized as "suffering from repetitiousness", and being "dull and utterly anachronistic." It is often labeled as 'the saddest music in the world', and is one of the most recognizable pieces of popular classical musi…
Aversion Therapy
**2022 stock** "Drafted By Minotaurs who's 'Aversion Therapy' album is the labels first ever foray into the magical world of vinyl. There really has been zero compromise as far as the quality of the physical thing is concerned: Heavy duty gatefold sleeve in quality plastic wallet with obi strip and then a fine plastic inner sleeve for maximum protection of the ultra weapons grade heavy vinyl. So clearly a special release and my expectations of the music are high... So what about the audio that l…
9.22.07
**2022 stock** "The first time I heard this it took me on a total journey and it blew my head off. I couldn't believe how good it was! Concert Silence is the live duo of Matthew Cooper of Eluvium and Charles Buckingham and this album is the first of their manipulated fruits to surface. They're both into live sound manipulation, so this performance was organised and here is the mastered music. It's quite different for Infraction as the vast majority of the output on the label has been ambient but…
Vryashn
**2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** "Pronounced ‘Variation’, Jeremy Bible and Jason Henry’s 2008 Ambient laptop dissection of piano, water pipes, wine glasses, rain on a window and a garage lamp, is a two-part exploration of these disparate elements. Vryashn has recently been rereleased on vinyl by Infraction, after a limited CDR release by Gears of Sand Recordings in the year it was produced. Having previously recorded together for the Gruenrekorder label, as well as Bible’s own Experimedia…
An Idea And Its Map
**2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** Drape is an ambient duo comprised of Ryan Gracey and Spencer Williams. They have been crafting soundscapes since 2004. Their debut, 'dream words' (Gears of Sand) saw a limited CDR release in 2009. It was well received and garnered comparisons to Stars of the Lid, early 70's Tangerine Dream as well as late 80's space ambient. Their follow-up was an interesting pairing on cassette - a split w/ experimental artist Odd Nosdam. 'An Idea And Its Map' marks a refi…
Interfrequence / Osmose
This bundle includes the following albums:
Osmose (LP, 1978)Interfrequence (LP, 1980)
Diving back into the depths of their incredible catalog of vintage Ariel Kalma, Black Sweat returns with much needed represses of “Osmose” and “Interfrequence”, two of the artist’s most beloved works, that remained out of print for a number of years.Astounding hybrids of minimalism, kosmiche, electronic avant-gardism, and new age / ambient music, they’re some of the deepest and most essential musical gestures f…
Varying Degrees Of Alive
**2022 stock. Edition of 100 copies ** ‘Lantscap’ is a collaboration between Ian Hawgood and Warren Kroll (Forrest, High Tides) which mostly focuses on guitar and vocal loops processed through stomp boxes. Their work has been compared to the ‘Mirror’ releases of Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann. ‘Varying Degrees Of Alive’ was mastered by James Plotkin, with photography by Toshiba Watanabe, and was released on white and baby blue vinyl on the Infraction label in 2013. Their follow-up is due out…
King of Corns
**2022 stock. Edition of 100 copies ** My Home, Sinking is one of the many sound projects fronted by Venetian Enrico Coniglio, whose latest album King of Corns blends live instrumentation with field recordings and strange vocals to create a neo-classical work wherein the sum of the whole is greater than its parts. Like Baudelaire’s great book of poems, The Flowers of Evil, King of Corns seems to allude to the interplay between life and death as twin sides of the same coin. The beautiful, hauntin…
Auriemma
** Edition of 50 copies ** The duality of what Joe LiTrenta & Miki Kizh have created with 'Auriemma' is revealed with the first as well as the 100th listen. 'Auriemma' is undeniably influenced by the passing of 2 brothers who were close to the artists. Rob & Aidan died in separate accidents a few weeks from one another. So the result is a somber, haunted recording but it somehow retains some optimism throughout each of its sprawling tracks. Chords appear out of the air, and then expand for what …
