Austerity Dogs
Sleaford Mods is J. Williamson - vocal/all writing, and Simon Claridge on computer! He used to be in bands but got sick of the bullshit, so he started this amazing punk/hip-hop/comedy racket. Just about the most brutal and bleak LP we’ve ever released. Debut vinyl by Nottingham’s finest. No compromise, no refunds. Please acquire with due caution : this is not an extreme electronics record !

Akio Suzuki, analapos, stones, wood pieces, nails, hammer, room echo, bottles, etc. Aki Onda, radios, walkmans, amps, tape echo, cymbals, bottles, etc. Initially a 3 hours long performance recorded on June 2013 in an abandoned space, in Brussels.

For this promising duo's first LP and CD, Oral and Minute have teamed up to introduce this unique partnership to all lovers of thundering sounds and electrifying performances. The intensity of their studio compositions and wide-open dialogues are unique and unmatched. Mi…
To beat
Picking up right where the last track on the previous COH release RETRO-2038 left off, the new album is focused on the use of beats within the similar aesthetics. While most of the previous COH records openly shy away from accentuated beat structures and instead build up their rhythmical content by layering waves and pulses, every track on To Beat is padded with just that - beats. The music transition is illustrated in the album's artwork, displaying transformation of a sine-wave, a tone, into a…

Petit cochon
"Petit Cochon" is the third LP and debut album for Spectrum Spools by James Donadio under his Prostitutes guise. From "Psychedelic Black", the self-released debut LP limited to only 100 to the esteemed "Crushed Interior" on Digitalis, it's safe to say Donadio has crafted a style unmatched in the climate of contemporary electronic music. The top shelf E.P.'s on Mira and Diagonal were a small glimpse into all that has led up to the new full-length, which we are proud to unveil. "Petit Cochon" is a…

Organized Sound: Luna Park Traveling Music Apocalypse
Another killer reissue on Doxy, equally desirable volume, which completes the documentation of Dockstader's organized sound works. "Traveling Music was originally composed as a monaural piece (Electronic Piece No. 8). It was, in effect, my Poeme Electronique, after Varese, and my first piece to be strictly organized with a few sound-materials (instead of throwing everything in and stirring briskly, as I'd done prior to this). When I got the use of a two-track…
Organized sound Drone Two fragment From Apocalypse
Seminal musique concrete recordings from the early 60s, first time available on vinyl (original has been out of print on LP for over a decade, originally published on his private 'Owl' imprint). Dockstader deserves shelf space next to Schaeffer, Henry, Stockhausen, Varése, etc. -- historically vital, minutely detailed experimental electronic music and tape composition. "My choice of the term 'Organized Sound' for my own work was, in part, a tribute to the 'Poéme' and to Varése. I…
EP2
Bilharzia is 15 minutes of electronic nausea, adding layers of bleeping LFO nastiness to a relentlessly repetitive base. You should know you'll get what's coming to you with a song called Make a Joyful Sound, and I don't feel it disappoints. Pounding brutality you could bury your dad to, and a bad time guaranteed to be had by all. There is a kind of tune in there somewhere though, lurking dimly in the background...' Stefan Jaworzyn
Casa Corp
Second release for the accomplished trio of Leonel Kaplan, Christof Kurzmann and Edén Carrasco on the follow of last years brilliant Una Casa/Observatorio. Recorded in Buenos Aires, roughly a year after the two pieces that compose the first release, Casa Corp reveals both a continuity and a progession of the trios improvisation. Throughout the single pice, the most outstanding aspect of the record is the interplay between the musicians, up to a point, when several times the sound source becomes …
The Fog
Recorded a couple of years ago at the INTERLACE concert series at Goldsmiths College in London, The Fog is a great showcae of Lexer's and Kasyansky's duo performances. Albeit a short piece, it doesn't lack in intensity nor inventiveness, in fact, it's a very rich and dynamic performance. Grundik's tape manipulations and electronics reveal a detailed attention to the placing and harmony of sounds,while also creating a tapestry of textures throughout, often foccused on the extremities of the frequ…
Sem Etc
LP’s are slightly warped (entire pressing) but does not affect playback. Deluxe 3LPs in hardboard, linen-bound box with 22-page book and large poster with score. 'SEM' documents the difficult, challenging and deeply personal early works of autodidactic electroacoustic music composer Joris De Laet (Belgium, 1947) created at his Studio for Electronic Music and IPEM between 1972-1979. All material has been mastered from the original tapes and is previously unreleased. Guided by a radical sense of …
Vent
Matthew P Hopkins has established himself as a formidable presence in the experimental circuit courtesy of a diverse range of projects including Naked on the Vague's debased rock, Half High's blurred dreams and Four Door's take on techno. Penultimate Press is proud to reissue Hopkins' second solo effort originally issued as a micro edition self released cdr. 'Vent' proposes a Frankenstein assemblage of the awry ambience heard on the recently acclaimed 'Nocturnes' lp merged with a more extreme t…
Impasse
Impasse is a sideways journey into the archives of London based artist Luke Younger, aka Helm. Originally conceived six years ago in the wake of a Birds of Delay tour, an edited version of Impasse saw the light of day as a mini cdr on the low point label in 2008. This expanded re-issue has the two original tracks remastered along with two other pieces from the same sessions that remained unmixed and unreleased until a couple of years ago. Impasse is somewhat of an anomaly in the Helm canon when …

They have performed in various occasions from …
Slipping control
Slipping Control derives from the text piece “Tztztztzt Î Í Í…” wrote last year by Ben Vida (and published as a book by Shelter Press). Composed to act as a score, a sound piece and as raw data for electronic control source, “Tztztztzt Î Í Í…” became the intrinsic element that tied some different pieces of art made by Ben Vida and presented at the eponymous show at AVA Gallery (NY, USA) in april 2013. 'I was interested in the rhythm of speaking, interested in using the voice to create rhythmic p…
Objets infernaux
Two great korean artists working with feedback, turntables, opened hard drives... What they call infernal objects. A stream of noise accidents. A molten, scalding stream of sound. Looking back, I see it's only been about seven years since, via the recordings issued on Manual, I first became aware of the improvising scene in Seoul; seems like longer, maybe I'm forgetting something. But the musicians involved were clearly up to something new and exciting, carving out a distinct area that often inv…
Mr. Jolly Fucker / Tweet Tweet Tweet
Limited edition repress of this great single by the Notts duo who're now garnering well-deserved attention for their manic blend of punk'tude, crude beats, frazzled electronics and insightful yet acerbic wordplay. 325 only, in clear vinyl and different amended sleeves to the now sold out first pressing.
Secluded in Jersey City
Well talk about your long gestations for a project. Secluded in Jersey City, by Secluded Bronte was recorded live on WFMU in November of 2002. And we spoke about releasing this on Pogus pretty quickly after that. So to take twelve years to release a CD is a pretty long time. But it was most certainly worth the wait. This trio features Jonathan and Adam Bohman with the added experimental irreverence of Richard Thomas. The Bohman Brothers are known for their unique live performances mixing theatre…
