Orion Music Versions
Tip! Tip! Tip! Just after the summer post-rock madness of “The Window” in their band HWYUIOD, Shelter & Orion are back with dub versions of Orion Music Workshop’s previous records. Deconstructed or reconstructed in an industrial, post-punk aesthetic, recalling whole On-U Sound golden age (Adrian Sherwood, Mark Stewart, African Head Charge…) as well as Craig Leon, Sheriff Lindo… and more.

Jewels
Kitchen. Label is proud to present Jewels, the debut album from Tokyo-based composer Ryuuta Takaki, emerging from a new chapter in the city’s alternative wave. His music opens realms of mysticism, memory, and imagination, unfolding like radiant mosaics that echo symbolic traditions, Eastern esotericism, and a neo-Orientalist dreamworld. Takaki shapes music that moves between sacred stillness and ornate intensity. Though his creative path once passed through experimental hip hop and electronica, …
Hanu Hansa (Bangkok Blues)
Hanu Hansa is the nomme de guerre of TJ Blake, a visual artist and musician based in Atlanta, Georgia. Known for his work in various mediums, he is perhaps best associated as a member of Lotus Plaza (Kranky) and Lyonnais (Geographic North, Hoss).

Sonically, his music explores the intersection of ambient and electronic modes, often drawing ins…
Emo Inhaler
Roman Hiele (1991) is a Brussels-based musician and composer whose work explores the boundaries between improvisation and electronic composition. His music unfolds as a living system of shifting harmonies, fractured rhythms, and unexpected turns. At the core of Hiele’s practice lies a deep fascination for contrast, where his soundscapes act as both anchor and disruption, sharpening the emotional depth of images and spaces, a sensibility that extends into his collaborations with filmmakers, visua…
Ambient $
Mythology has a recurring theme: creating ambiguity by rearranging worlds and creatures that normally don’t belong together. Centaurs, Minotaurs, Hydras and so on: mockery and mystery intertwine into entities that are in equal parts magnificent and ridiculous. Referencing this idea in the present, Loris S. Sarid conjures 12 compositions simultaneously showing traits of dreamlike trap, candy-flavoured New Age and Spoken Word. The lines between spiritual and mundane, drama and parody are bent and …
Polychromatic
After three years of silence, Harz returns with "polychromatic", his long-awaited second album.
Formenverwandler
Beyond excited to announce the new album Formenverwandler by Sunik Kim, a Los Angeles-based musician, writer and filmmaker who has previously released music on Notice Recordings, Rope Editions and Otoroku.

Drawing from her extensive research on composer Conlon Nancarrow, Formenverwandler sees Kim exploring the time or tempo canon, which can pull and project the listener's senses, melting the tempor…
Smashed Platitudes Avillion, Abbotsford, Adelaide/Heaps Of Sorrow
A drastic left turn from NM label head Simon J Karis, following some notable 2024 output. The manic jubilance of both last year’s ‘Thrash’ (his collaborative effort with UK experimental/club royalty Actress) and his hugely evocative, slightly foolish solo full length ‘So Little Sorrow’ (accompanied by a book of 50 watercolour paintings by legendary ambient musician and visual artist Andrew Chalk) commanded new ears and scratched heads further across the globe than Karis had enjoyed prior. So wit…
The Incessant Need To Fill In Blank Spaces
The album offers massive long-form drone with a beautiful ambient touch—it is the first part of a trilogy. The artwork consists of an embroidery hoop enclosing a piece of felt that holds the cassette and credit inlay.
Leikarring
The album is an experimental, atmospheric journey with wonderful sounds. The artwork consists of a wooden box with a sticker. The credits are printed on a long strip of paper that wraps around the cassette.
Empire Des Pulsions
Founder of KUMP and Meth.O tapes, Lyon’s Marc-Étienne Guibert (AKA Gil.Barte) awakens his new Mert Seger moniker for a shadowy Plaque excursion. Nine slow burners strike from the murk with venomous precision.
Remnants
"I don’t keep photographs, old letters, keepsakes or memorabilia. I have sound-files, thousands of them, un-used, un-heard: folders of field recordings; sonic sketches; experiments that failed but weren’t deleted. The files are saved on hard drives or the cards of obsolete pieces of equipment replaced – bit by dusty bit – with something new, clean and shiny. A remnant is what’s left over when the greater part it once belonged to has been used up, removed, or destroyed. I think of my sound-files …
Megaliths In Dub
A deep reworking of Llyn Y Cwn's "Megaliths" (2024). The original was a profound dark ambient exploration of the sacred resonance embedded within stone circles; "Megaliths In Dub" is the echo beneath the surface, the unheard rhythm that has always been there. The megaliths stand - timeless, unyielding. Their histories stretch beyond recorded memory, their presence imbued with silent narratives of the land. "Megaliths" sought to channel this ancient energy into pure sound. Yet no history exists w…
Voyage
After a series of EPs and releases across different media (magazines, posters, digital), dTHEd returns with a new LP — their first in six years since the debut Hyperbeatz vol.1 on Boring Machines — titled VOYAGE (Vital Operations and Yearly Administration for Galactic Existence), a bold, genre-defying concept album chronicling humanity’s flight from an uninhabitable Earth to the deep unknown of interstellar exile. More than an album, VOYAGE is a full speculative fiction universe — part musical e…
Rolled In The Midst Of Never-Ceasing Currents Flowing Without A Rest Forever Onward
Firstly, this is not for the faint-hearted, but fear not, this is not another noise record. This LP is something else altogether. This is a massive, glorious psychedelic din, a thick fog of dramatic sound events. Starving Weirdo's latest offering promises to enfold the listener who will experience the ecstatic grandeur of Anton Bruckner as much as the rich industrial drone of David Jackman. This is Lhasa in California -- a world drenched in ecstatic thrills and intense ethereal exploration. Ther…
Planet!
*100 copies limited edition* This is what Planet! does: it sends you, straight away, to a gray two-faced satellite. On a fictitious projectile that seems to have come out of that withered phantasmagoria of Georges Méliès: Le Voyage dans la lune, do you know it?
This collection of tracks grew out of a live score of Georges Méliès short films at the Philosophical Research Society in January 2024. Méliès films are bizarre and fantastical, at times delving into the macabre. But they are also comical…
Ensomheden Vi Deler
*200 copies limited edition* "Ensomheden Vi Deler" ("The Loneliness We Share") is the result of a dialogue between the collages and the music of øjeRum, initiated by IIKKI, between December 2024 and July 2025. øjeRum is Copenhagen based musician and collage artist Paw Grabowski.
With his collages, the distinctive feature of øjeRum's works is their ability to combine different historical and artistic periods, such as ancient sculpture, medieval frescoes, classical painting and photography, and to…
A Little Death
Claire Rousay completes her trilogy with A Little Death, where field recordings intertwine with strings and piano like voices in a chamber ensemble. A return to her core practice after sentiment's pop forms, the album transforms tactile samples into emotional archaeology—fragile, honest, vital.
