The Blackwing Sessions | Demos 1982 / 83
On The Blackwing Sessions, Demos 1982/83, Robert Marlow opens the vault on his pre‑Peter Pan Effect sketches, capturing Basildon synth‑pop at source: raw Vince Clarke sequences, Eric Radcliffe grit, and songs caught mid‑mutation between bedroom dream and major‑label mirage.
Fluorochrome
On Fluorochrome, Sara Ayers turns a tiny kitchen studio into a prism for synth‑pop, ambient and art‑song, layering her own voice and machines into intimate electronic miniatures that feel both handmade and quietly otherworldly.
Sad Songs
On Sad Songs, Scott Alexander steps away from American Music Club into a one‑man synth lab, fusing Eno‑tinged ambience, noir synth‑pop and fuzzed‑out psychedelia into a solitary, homespun detour that never repeats itself.
Recordings 1980-82
On Recordings 1980–82, Sea of Wires condense Coventry bedroom kosmische into slow‑burn circuits: Chris Jones and Tony “T” Murphy channel Hawkwind and German electronics into looping, improvised voyages that feel handmade yet eerily vast.
Synth Pop Art
On Synth Pop Art, The Toy Shop turn Paul Klein’s one‑man Leeds project into a sharp, neon‑lit partnership with Philip Walsh, distilling early‑80s UK minimal synth, big‑chorus ambition and nearly‑was pop history into a tight set of lost singles.
Recordings 1980-1981
On Recordings 1980–1981, Those Little Aliens / This Little Alien bottle the moment when punk’s “anyone can do it” collides with cheap synths, mail‑art cassettes and Throbbing Gristle shock, turning a Leeds bedroom into a crackling, homespun laboratory.
Recordings 1982-1987
On Recordings 1982–1987, YU - Dwaine Woodliff, his brother David and Gaylon - turn Austin’s DIY tape underground into a lo‑fi philosophy lab, smuggling post‑punk, bedroom electronics and dark humour into concept‑cassettes about how not to come apart.
Recordings 1988
On Recordings 1988, YU - brothers Dwaine and David Woodliff with Gaylon - push their Austin DIY ethic to a strange, addictive peak, fusing minimal synth, post‑punk anxiety and home‑taped intimacy into songs that feel like intercepted private signals.
Sol.Hz
London braingaze experimenters Seefeel return with Sol.Hz, their first full-length album in 15 years and a carrying-on of the hazy IDM that saw to their becoming one of Warp Records' most distinctive early signings. Famously among the first acts on the label to fold guitars into an electronic framework, the group again dissolve the adumbrations of shoegaze, dub and ambient techno, a now much-exploited sonic terrain by sound revivalists today. Tracks like 'Ever No Way' and 'Humidity Switch' drift…
Movement
Debut Sacred Bones release from acclaimed Venetian ambient visionary. From spectral drones to shimmering electronics and jazz-tinged harmonies, Movement flows like tides: a music of swells, currents and the body in motion.
El Pulso Del Acero: Shinkansen
El Pulso del Acero: Shinkansen is Esplendor Geométrico's electrifying new album, blending trance-inducing industrial rhythms with bold voice and noise collages. Featuring 16 tracks, it revisits the raw power of their 80s classics while exploring futuristic industrial sounds, with recordings from Tokyo (2025) and a rare previously limited tracks now on vinyl for the first time. After over 40 years of continuous innovation, the influential Spanish duo continues to shape industrial, techno, and exp…
Rem(a)inders
Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio and visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music. Amulets has steadily built a catalog defined by tactile intimacy and patient exploration. Deeply immers…
Lost Themes
The first solo album from the legendary director and composer of Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Snake and many more! With the 15 films he has directed and composed the soundtracks for, John Carpenter has single-handedly defined the sound of the horror genre. The film music alone manages to instantly conjure up, in the musical memory of the devoted fan, the menacing figure lying in wait for the babysitter, the ghost-filled mist, the kung fu fighters with their lightning-fast fists, or the…
All Shall Go
On All Shall Go, Damos Room - the trio of Elijah Minnelli, Luke Miles and Nicholas Elson - strip dub to ghost‑logic and negative space, staging a slow, pressurised unravelling where tension, not impact, becomes the main event.
Glass Torso
“Joe Fujinoki centered the compositions of his latest album Glass Torso around the idea of the fragility of the human body. Fujinoki described the narrative thread of the album as that of “holding the shape of a human body as if it might shatter like glass”. The precariousness of the body, the essence of the body as defined by Fujinoki as the torso, and the object relations between the boundaries of dialectical exercises pack themselves into his creative process. Fujinoki recorded Glass Torso ex…
Pareidolia
Named after the tendency to impose familiar likenesses, such as faces, on random - usually inanimate - objects, Pareidolia is Jake Muir's way of interpreting the consonances between so-called “ambient” music and extreme heavy metal. Extracting the headiest, most atmospheric sections from hundreds of death metal and black metal tracks, Muir plays the role of both DJ and electroacoustic composer, concocting a lysergic elixir of fractal distortions and prolonged, decelerated riffs that slowly evapo…
Old Dark Champagne
This EP, written and recorded over three years, captures the work of Haydn Douet Lukies, a percussionist whose practice centres on highly resonant objects and site-responsive sound. Based in Portugal, Douet Lukies has developed a distinctive approach to solo percussion, working with antique metal and glass alongside found architectural surfaces. His music draws on a wide range of influences, from minimalism and Arabic percussion to jungle and the polyrhythmic batida that first drew him to Lisbon…
Untitled
Ohmmmmm… Sedative new-age dream sequence from NYC cold-caller Arsenii for in-house mixtape series Tabi Tapes. Nag champa at the ready…
An unsolicited email dropped into the inbox not so long ago from US-based record dealer and cassette fanatic, explaining how a strong passion for collecting / documenting otherwise ‘lost’ music has led to uploading to YouTube, sharing and assembling mixes. It was accompanied by a 90 minute recording comprised of pieces culled from private new age cassettes foun…
Pétale Défoule
Pétale Défoule opens with a bewildering piece of ’Intro'. Like the conductor of an orchestra, that she would have matrixed herself, the solo musician tunes all her sounds, raises her trombone, switches on all her instruments and friendly machines, calling all the creatures from the enchanted woods and wastelands to join in. Larsen touches everything so brilliantly, it’s stunning. Over the 8 tracks, we are transported by the heavy breaked bass of «Shygirl», the stepper accents of «Grosses bastos»…
Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes

The album will also be available on streaming for the first time via Community Music Group.
