Sergey Senchuk aka Tungu was born in Chernihiv, Ukraine in 1999. He started playing in the spontaneous-intuitive band Kollektiv, and in the hard core bands Remorse and Keepleer 18. He begun to record using the nickname Tungu with his first release "Opus Hereticus"in 2013. His idea was to make of Tungu a project that would contain field recordings, cut ups, samples and live instruments. Four albums were recorded since then : "Dense arrays" 2014, "Ilf and Petrov with us" 2016, "Burst of exsessive …

*80 copies limited edition* An improvised meeting between clarinet and a small, hand-built pipe organ. Sounds converge from these two instruments, coalescing and diverging to explore subtle nuances of resonance and timbre. The form of these pieces creates a unique space through stasis and repetition.

*75 copies limited edition* Fumitake Tamura (Leaving Records) and Jason Kolàr (Dauw, Stroom) return to Dauw with 'Suki-Ma', a cassette only mixtape including music from the same sessions that led to their debut 'Ōki-sa' which was released last year.

The album is out on January 21 and available on limited edition cassette.  隙間 (Suki-Ma) refers to the space or gap between objects,…

*2025 stock* Following from 2016’s Peel Away the Ivy, The Pattern Forms return with The Scenic Route; an album which embodies a fresh new direction of idiom and focus. Where Peel Away the Ivy found the group setting out their stall, bringing library music influences to their brand of classic pop songwriting, this time around they have created a much more distilled, largely instrumental studio group sound, which focuses on mood and texture as well as being a tour de force in arrangement. Adding a…

*2025 stock* Luminous Foundation's previous releases, Spontaneous Archives Vols 1 & 2, sparked with mineral fire, like shards of kosmische comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere. Haig Fras is an entirely different affair, a semi- melodic, shimmering drift. Occasionally there’s a sense of oceanic melancholy and throughout an enticing organic beauty. Haig Fras collects a series impressionistic soundings inspired by the subaquatic mountain range of the same name found between Cornwall an…

2025 stock. Did you know there are horses on the cover of Earth's Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version? There are at least three in the right hand corner, gathered inexplicably near a white canvas tent, a human possibly perched among its folds. As widescreen and vast as the cover may seem, those little details-the horses, the possible human, the faint wisp of white clouds-give it depth and wonder, something to which the imagination can return. Did you know that the music on Earth 2-repressed n…

**200 copies, tip!** Music For Laboratories is a project by Orlando Lostumbo - a Roman double bass player and composer - who, for this work, has chosen the moniker of Spheric. For the realization of Music For Laboratories, the artist has been inspired by his working environment, a research institute - the Istituto Superiore di Sanitá - where, for over thirty years, he has been working as an employee at the internal library, one of the most important in the biomedical field in Italy. The ongoing …

Few sounds in music are as instantly recognizable as the searching sting of guitarist Bill Orcutt and the cyclical propulsion of drummer Chris Corsano. At the same time, every single performance or recording I've heard by the duo has been markedly different, discovering new paths with a given set of tools. For more than a decade now they've been meeting up to instigate visceral sonic journeys without a map, engaging in elliptical dialogues with one another, but more often conjuring twinned excur…

White2 was originally released in 2004 by Southern Lord as a CD and limited double LP edition of 1000 copies (in a tip on gatefold sleeve in various vinyl colors). Sunn O))) co-founders Stephen O’Malley & Greg Anderson originally conceived the White albums to be “acoustic” but the sessions at Fontanelle’s Magnetic Park studios in Portland Oregon quickly took a far different route toward the psychedelic and the electronic/synthetic, with trance and drone experiments.The White2 album was notably t…

* Double LP, Black Vinyl * In late October 2019, following a successful UK tour ending in a sold-out concert at the mythical Roundhouse in London, Sunn O))) entered studio 4 of the BBC Maida Vale. On invitation to record a live session for Mary Anne Hobbs to be broadcast on Samhain via her excellent radio show on BBC6.  To enter the legendary John Peel studios was to enter a temple of music and experimentation, liberty in ideas and sound. The band was nearing the end of a long touring year aroun…

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the first international reissue of Ayako Shinozaki's hard to find LP "Music Now For Harp" released in 1974 by Nippon Columbia. The LP was released on the label's cult "Master Sonic" series and features Shinozaki's harp soundscape on works by renowned composer Toru Takemitsu and Katsuhiro Tsubono. The highlight of the album is the spaced-out liquid 25-min ambient epic 'Heterodyne' featuring cult musician Takehisa Kosugi (Taj Mahal Travellers, Group Ongaku) on…

*2025 stock* Cate Brook's fifth album as The Advisory Circle. A beautiful and uplifting selection of electronic pieces, inspired by late 70s and early 80s library music. Never descending into parody or obvious re-enactment Brooks is the absolute master in this field. Two members of Friendly Fires make guest appearances; Ed Macfarlane on vocals on No Way Back, and Edd Gibson co-production on Scuba.  The CD & LP packaging is designed by Julian House. The elegantly simple artwork and typography, re…

*2022 stock.* Leone is the first meeting of electric guitarists Loren Connors and Oren Ambarchi. It’s somewhat surprising it’s taken this long as these two are connected by ongoing collaborators, like Jim O’Rourke and Keiji Haino. Connors, for more than 40 years, has continued to develop an iconic sound tethered to radical permutations of the blues. Ambarchi’s own multi-decade transfiguration of the guitar inhabits a rarefied realm of abstracted tones and dissonance pitched between improvisation…

*2025 stock* The 10” is pressed on translucent green vinyl with sleeve art by Belbury Poly's Jim Jupp. It’s released on Seatman’s own label KS Audio in association with Belbury Music.

"A wonderfully alien patchwork of sounds where the rich colours bleed into each other to create something vivid and unique." - The Quietus

All of these work deal somewhat with a fake factor. Part Time Heroes handles the star concept, in a larger than life way; Running Sushi refers to comics and manga. Burning Palace, on the other hand, is based on The Art of Seduction. (...) For the human body to remain interesting, one must constantly put it in a different light or in another context. One has to look at the body sideways. With this, one achieves a large choreographic change in perspective, because everything is altered. In another…

With her characteristic consistency Gertrude Moser-Wagner has viewed her work as a sculptress in the conceptual tradition – even at a time when other approaches were more in the limelight. She uses very precise artistic stategies, such as the transferral from one context to another, the strategy of declaring something-to-be-art, of making the spectator aware of processes, changes over the time or the ambiguity of objects and shapes.

Few available, sold out at source. Offset printed covers, gloss varnish. Stamped labels. Released October 2024 in co-production with Desastre. Tanz Mein Herz’s latest, 'Redux', out via Standard In-Fi, encounters the French collective pushing at the boundaries of folk tinged experimentalism, psych, and drone. Sprawling across two long tracks, it’s an absolute burner of throbbing, hypnotic sound and stunning creative interplay.Les Adieux is a send off, a tale of energy, death, bliss, cosmic yearni…

Muslimgauze are getting more bizarre with each release. This one is an intricately complicated ode to hip-hop music, but of course it's all done in that strange way that makes this band so unique. You can almost dance to this one

2024 stock. “Mazar-i-Sharif” is to polite society what a dozen angry Rotweillers are to a cafe full of poodles: An explosion. The diamond collars scatter across the tiles and the fur turns red as the perfectly clipped poodle-butts are torn apart by a pack of rabid Jerry Springer Spaniels. Your politically correct end-of-the-century tea party is officially OVER, and anyone thinking Muslimgauze is about to make a calculated move to new age radio should call a taxi right now because the missiles ar…

Nocturnal Emissions, masterminded by Nigel Ayers, have been on the cutting edge of new music since the 1970s. Ayers has been described as a Guerrilla Sign Ontologist, cutting-up and pasting the contents of the human psyche. With a background in avant-garde art, his work has grown from audio visual installations through underground video works which changed the shape of British television. In the early eighties Nocturnal Emissions hit London with a barrage of seminal funk; pioneering the use of s…

2024 stock. Iran was the first Muslimgauze recording to be released on CD, and therefore occupies a special place in the hearts of Muslimgauze fans. The year was 1988, and Dutch label Staalplaat had recently been introduced to the music of Muslimgauze through their association with Soleilmoon. At the time, Staalplaat was known for their attractively presented cassette releases. “Iran” was their first CD release, and signaled the start of the label’s transition away from the cassette format. Sole…

"Love-Fidelity or Hiss Goodbye" is Dmytro Nikolaienko’s fourth solo album released on Muscut. Similar to his previous work, "Meta," this new album adheres to the same principles and limitations, focusing on acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments. However, the range of instruments used is more expansive this time. In addition to the metallophone and tape, it features samples from bass guitar, xylophone, bongos, saxophone, clarinet, and flute. These samples were borrowed and then tape-looped fr…

Eyvind Kang's name may not yet be a household word, but we confidently predict that this exciting, young Seattle-based violinist/composer will quickly prove to be a musical force to be reckoned with. Tzadik is proud to release 7 Nades, Kang's astonishing and eccentric debut album. Kang began learning violin at age 6 - he has since performed and/or recorded with Bill Frisell, the Sun City Girls, John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz and Motel 6, Joe McPhee, Deformation and others.

Filmmaker Jef Mertens brings a raw, urgent, and unpolished vision focusing on a band that has spent almost four decades defining and redefining not just their music, but the boundaries of music itself. Band members Don Dietrich, Donald Miller, and Jim Sauter tell their story with the help of artists, writers, photographers, and filmmakers that include noted critic Byron Coley, drummer Chris Corsano, guitarist Thurston Moore, groundbreaking Japanese noise unit Hijokaidan, and Switzerland's master…

Following his dismissal from The Velvet Underground in the Autumn of 1968, Cale acted as a producer and arranger on albums by The Stooges and Nico before venturing out as a solo artist with his debut album ‘Vintage Violence’ in 1970. Following the release of a collaborative album with Terry Riley he signed with Reprise Records and recorded two albums for the label. In 1974 John Cale relocated to London and signed with Island Records, for whom he was to release three inventive and influential alb…

Through solitary chirps and roaring synchrony, insects and arthropods communicate through “stridulations”, diverse calls created by rasping friction between two chitinous body parts. On ‘Stridulations 1-14’, Vienna-based sound artist Robert Schwarz presents a speculative resynthesis of such calls in simultaneity with ethological field recordings of real-world insect life. A continuation of themes introduced with Schwarz’s previous release, ‘Clear Cues’ (ETAT, 2022), and partly based on a 2023 co…

★ Limited edition ★ With obi Totsuzen Danball has a unique world of their own that refuses to be easily categorized. Their 4th album "Fubi" (1991), recorded at the same time as the masterpiece "Yokushi Onryoku", is finally available on analog for the first time! This is the only work that Totsuzen Danball left behind on Alchemy Records, and although it contains only three songs, the shortest among their many albums, it contains the longest song in Japanese rock history, "Around the Lost World" (…

The extracøntinent that Damien Mingus invites us to visit on this new album from his My jazzy Child project is by no means an imagined or imaginary space. It's the palpable space forged by the musician's 25 years of activity, where popular and traditional music, free music and learned traditions collide. And don't confuse the ∅ (empty set) with the Ø (island in Norwegian) used in the title of this album and some of the tracks - it's insularity that's being asserted here. An island-continent made…

*200 copies limited edition* Wild broken heart healing procedure through time distorted tape recordings by T. Delaunay (Panoptique), D.L. Byrne (Charmaine's Names) and J. Warmenbol (Kabaal). A new emanation from the Simple Music Experience collective (Fiesta en el Vacìo, Helen Island, Parasite Jazz...)

Produced and engineered by Jah Wobble at home in his bedroom (hence the title), the album was originally released in spring 1983, showing a different side in the bass player evolution. His proper 2nd album after a major label stint with Virgin - for his debut - and the stratospheric collaborations with Holger Czukay & The Edge. A mystical hybrid of dub fusion, ethereal wave and global beat, still ahead of his time.
