My Dungeon My Rules
Sisto Rossi might became the keystone of the post industrial experimental/noise scene of the Ruhr Area. Originally from Tampa, Florida he appeared in western Germany around 2001, with plenty of energetic and creative live performances under several aliases.

Euzebio
The new album by Robert Piotrowicz does not fit any category. What this multicoloured electronic instrumentation aims to channel is the acoustic experience and energy of the performing musician. As a result of a wide range of creative means used, the narrative language of the compositions bursts with tension and mystery.The album includes slow hypnotic passages of stone electronics (To Fleh), vigorous tempos and circular repetitions (Euzo Found Guitar), sprawling artificial soundscapes, back-to-…
Invisible Island
**450 copies in handmade textiled artwork, includes printed inner sleeve** Invisible Island is a fitting title for an album that seems to exist in a place quietly removed from the problems of the world.

The record feels like a continuance from her album Minor Planet (2016) that shines through as an ethereal fog.Although the pieces on the album mostly centre around the piano - played in …

Lalique Gadaffi Handgrenade
**700 copies** Incredible late '90s dub-noise gear from Muslimgauze resurfaces along with previously unreleased, genius electro-dub goodies in the latest Staalplaat volley. Can a person ever have enough Muslimgauze records? The answer is a firm no, and Arab Jerusalem (1996), found on the A-side, is a sterling example of the Manchester-based outlier at his trippy, expressive best, swirling samples of Arabic voices in a thick mist of dubwise FX with sloshing tabla and drones that seem to fade in a…
Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story the Earth
**Yellow vinyl** An enigma this one, the debut release - a decade in the making - from an artist about which we know very little. It’s a mysterious, confessional beauty - a diaristic mix of half-cut songs and textured, bittersweet electronic collage that we urge you to check if you’re into anything from Klein to Burial, Tricky to Mica Levi, Young Echo to RZA’s Ghost Dog OST.Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story the Earth is a fascinatingly intimate yet elusive record that was made by a trained pianist cr…

Solitude

Fake Synthetic Music
Vocalist, performer and sound artist Stine Janvin works with the extensive flexibility of her instrument of the voice, and the ways in which it can be disconnected from its natural, human connotations. Created for variable spaces from theatres, to clubs and galleries, the backbone of Janvin’s projects focus on the physical aspects of sound, and potential dualities of the natural versus artificial, organic / synthetic, and minimal / dramatic.Fake Synthetic Music is Stine Janvin’s latest live perf…

Apophenia Cloud Travel Apparatus
**100 copies, transparent blue vinyl** "These tracks are based on time stretched sounds created using my first, early attempt at programming a granular synthesizer in Pure Data. For this synthesizer, I inadvertently implemented a typical “beginners-error" in the algorithm, by basing the "scroll function" (which reads pre-recorded audio files at varying speeds) on a “control" object, rather than a “dsp”-object. This causes a discrepancy between the control data (which transmits control messages i…
Kosmiske Ambitioner
**100 copies, yellow vinyl** "A few years back I had a dream. I dreamt I was a man. I was sitting by an electronic organ playing very virtuously. The music had a reminiscence of kitch organ party music, but with an esoterically twist that made it appear more unpredictable. In the dream, my name was Tonni Claire, and the music I played was called Cosmic Ambitions.The dream most certainly appeared because I had been sleeping next to a Yamaha Electone C-605 for a couple of weeks. A kind person had …
