Attempts
Andrew Cowie of Angel Eyes (Bedroom Suck, Not Not Fun) brings new material as Match Fixer to Nice Music for the first release proper under this name on 'Attempts' - four epic dialogues dense with the weight of information, experience and tumult. Cowie's frantic tempos affectingly mimic the relentlessness of time passing in the modern age, unforgiving and mechanically moving forward despite the emotional distraction emanating from its core. Impossibly forlorn synth pads routinely swell and warble…
Madrugada
Nice Music presents the debut full length from Melbourne's Simon J Karis, 'Madrugada' - an all-encompassing work, earnestly detailing the anatomy of the nighttime psyche. Karis has crafted an ambitious narrative arc, tangible through the presence of sculpted sound and ecstatic melody alone rather than words or literal description. Visceral thought patterns both fleeting and consuming during leisure time swarm and writhe for their place; ingrained neurosis, the pursuit of pleasurable life experie…
CD
Sami Salo was the third member of Panasonic trio when they started in 1994. By the end of 1994 Sami decided to leave the band. Sami has extremely minimal approach on the music. The compositions consist of hardly audible errors of various electronic devices. All of tracks on this CD are from the recordings Sami did in the early and mid 90s. The cover of the CD is from the tape VOLTTI.
Clarté Déserte
*100 copies limited edition on clear vinyl* New 10 track studio album by Andrew Chalk and Timo van Luijk, recorded 2020-2021 at Impression Lointaine and Kulta Saha.
"Forth unobserved I wentIn darkness and security,By the secret ladder, in disguise,In secret, seen of none,Oh night more lovely than the dawn!Lost to all things and myself,And, amid the lillies forgotten,Threw all my cares away"
Lost Contact
Reissue of Randy Greif’s second cassette, released in 1984 on Swinging Axe Productions. Two side-long, extended pieces — industrial collage and ritual ambient with a strong classical influence. Hidden music. An infernal predecessor to Golden Joy Club.
Death Ovary Traces
Reissue of Argiope’s debut cassette, released by Slaughter Productions in 1994 following a small run on the artist’s own Atom Institute label. Argiope project was born after Marco Corbelli proposed that Federico De Caroli / Deca record a release for Slaughter.
While Deca’s albums were still quite industrial, dark music, he felt that Marco deserved a much more extreme production than anything Deca recorded up to that point. The result was Argiope's debut release Death Ovary Traces, a work of depr…
Original Waters
Previously released by Slaughter Productions in 1996. Argiope was the temporary nom de plume of Federico de Caroli — perhaps better known as Deca. This project specialized in concrete music with an emphasis on low-tech, industrial / ambient compositions.
Deathtrance Parable
Label debut of this miscalculated electronic project. All sounds plundered. False starts and new pretensions. Though an ecclesiastical effort, it remains a taped act of public humiliation.
Inventionen: Zytoplasma / Maa'ts / Fractal
Last copies of this 1985 release. Edition RZ, the legendary German contemporary/electronic music label founded by Robert Zank, which has presented numerous experimental works by John Cage, David Tudor, and Iannis Xenakis, released the first of the Invention series album in 1985. The LP comprises three compositions by the following artists: Takehito Shimazu, a Japanese composer who taught alongside Korean contemporary musician Isang Yun at the Berlin Art School; Boguslav Schaeffer, a Polish compo…
Martin Rev
LP version. "Martin Rev's eponymous debut solo record was released in 1980, not long after the second Suicide LP appeared. It is one of the most seminal albums to have emerged in the early years of electronic music?. The tension between his hypnotic drum machine salvoes and Alan Vega's irrepressibly expressive voice on stage or in the studio created an electrifying mix, and yet these six supremely minimal compositions were no less impactful without Vega's voice. There is an enchanting simplicity…
Betrayal
*300 copies limited edition* »Betrayal« was originally released on CD by Staalplaat in 1993. »Betrayal« isn't that far removed from Veiled Sisters; while not as minimalist, if not repetitive, as that particular release, »Betrayal« relies on the same basic tools of gentle, steady electronic percussion and low-level bass and keyboard shadings. The most immediate changes lie with the various vocal samples on some of the tracks; while not immediately intelligible per se, you get scraps and hints fro…
Yö näkyy
*200 copies limited edition* 'Yö näkyy' comprises of 2 longform pieces where a minimalistic approach takes a central place. Short snippets and longer waves gradually go back and forth and slowly build up spaces where the listener can settle in easily. The touching softness of his work does the trick again and depicts the unique voice of the artist.

Lila
Originally commissioned by TBA during the COVID pandemic of 2020 as part of their Curfew programming O Morto, aka Mestre André now presents the full length version of his Lila composition, a collaboration with Moroccan musicians Ayoub ElAyady and Khalid Boulhamam. Lila is the Arabic word for night and is also the name of the liturgic ceremony manifested in a trance, as a process of healing and therapy, through a ritual of sensory immersion conducted by music (gnawa), incense, colour and dance. …
Healing Music 13 - 18
*70 copies limited edition* Enter the 3rd chamber: »Healing Music 13–18« is the final installment in Joachim Nordwall's Healing Music Triptychon. Where the first volume delved deep into the depths of dub and the second body of tracks was dedicated to the organization of noise through rhythm and silence, the third part takes a logical step forward, being a radical exercise in asceticism. It's the most stripped down set of the three, demanding attention to details as much as it furthers concentrat…
Dunkelfelder
*50 copies limited edition* Dunkelfelder is another entry in DRNTTCKS‘ (pronounced [droʊn əˈtæks]) ongoing series of directly recorded live jams – after tapes on Hungary’s Beach Buddies, Austrian Feathered Coyote, German noise institution Grisaille and British Industrial Coast, they return to their home turf Otomatik Muziek for the label’s last release. As all other entries in this series, Dunkelfelder was improvised on the spot and recorded in one take. It's a very much loop-based duo improvisa…
Kafka In Berlin
2024 Stock. Japan release only. ** The electronic duo Thorax-Wach, consisting of the musicians Olaf Kraemer and Frank Dieckmann, gained notoriety in the early 1980s in the circle of the Berlin Geniale Dilettanten. The albums “Barely conceived – already in fashion” and “You’re still doing way too well” established them as pioneers of the techno genre.
After an impressive break of 40 years, the artists got together again and, as lovers of Franz Kafka, decided to record an album about the last year…
