DNZ122 Drew Wesely – Silence is a Sharpened Blade
Silence is a Sharpened Blade speaks in the language of materiality — a stripped bare mantra of nylon and wood conjures unspoken and veiled interiors, channeling the intimacy of a single guitar alone in a room. Silence is a mirror, a shadow, an absence. It speaks when words fail in the poetry of negative numbers. Where do we go when the lights burn out? What is beauty in hell? What can pierce a heart of stone? Silence i…
Songs Of Compassion
*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…
Dadayama
*300 copies limited edition* With "Dadayama", His Majesty The Baby presents a work that stands at the crossroads between music, sound poetry and the theatrical spirit of the historical avant-gardes. The project unfolds as a conceptual suite built from fragments, quotations, soundscapes and vocal interventions that openly engage with the traditions of Dadaism and Surrealism. The album is the result of a long creative process coordinated by Francesco Paolo Paladino, who also oversaw the artistic p…
Wheel of life
*300 copies limited edition* Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist Tomo, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation. Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. Tomo’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and re…
Spring Is Here, Don’t You Know
The 20th of March marks the beginning of the astronomic spring. It is also the release date of the long awaited new album by S.J. (Johan) Borger. With his Electric Chamber Orchestra he sets to explore the relation between sound, composition and play. A personal journey back to the light, that invites the listener to escape this busy and noisy world. The first new album by Johan Borger (1984) in 14 years sees the light of day on the first day of spring, 20 March 2026. This is not a coincidence. S…
We Fell In Turn
* Limited edition 180 gram solid orange coloured vinyl. 2020 Stock * This 1961 Impulse album was particularly notable for Coltrane’s use of the ex- panded sound provided by a ‘big band’ with trumpets, trombone, baritone sax, Eric Dolphy’s bass clarinet and flute, and (most unusually) French horns, euphonium and tuba. Overlaying this backing is one of Coltrane’s great quartets with Messrs. Tyner (who, with Dolphy, did the arranging), Workman and Jones. The album’s centrepiece is the extended Colt…
Schwarzkopf
*100 copies limited edition* Bolka is known as the man with the cap. His cap has lived through a lot: his glitchy and microtonal experiments, studies at Institute of Sonology in The Hague or through countless performative works. A few years ago, Bolka’s cap fell apart. By that time he was already a fixture on the slovak experimental scene, but only releasing his debut album, “smutné stropy.” He started wearing new caps from then: somehow reminiscent of the old one, but much more varied — same as…
Idutydu
Frantx is a glit-noise band based in Paris that creates music in a dimension of hyper-speed where individualities get blurred, immersed in post-internet sonic drifts. The four members of Frantx explore the limits of their instruments and new modes of interaction through extended techniques, heterodox amplifications and electronic extensions. Frantx was born to question our roles as musicians and target the political dimension in which we are supposed to exist in this contemporary context. Music …
UnXpKtD
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* redacted. incomplete narratives. non sense. but. working with what i have. walkmans. tapes. dictaphones.
Green's electronic work of recent years focussing on defective analogue technology simultaneously broadens and refines with UnXpKtD; his first definitive electronic noise outing incorporating a pair of dictaphones in various states of disrepair. The music is chaotic yet concise, disorientating yet focussed; UnXpKtD is an intensely abstract and personal sonic …
Hallitusvastane Puhastus
Are sounds what you perceive? Are the meanings of sound determined by your cultural environment? Is it noise? Is it art? Or just rock n roll (and you like it, yes you do)?
Estonian/American duo Bad Groupy joined the Finnish duo Pink Twins in their Helsinki studio for a recording session in July 2023. Utilizing synthesizers, pedals, tapes, field recordings, and found objects, the double duos dived straight into making a monolith of psychedelic sound, playing until the recording computer crashed.

Kva er Vald
Hebbex D'expectatio Expectata is a Norwegian experimental music trio based in Stavanger. The group is an evolution of a long-standing duo consisting of Kjetil Brandsdal (Noxagt, Ultralyd, No Balls) and Thore Warland (Staer, Golden Oriole, Tørrfall, Plan Affine), who have released five LPs together.
The project expanded into its current trio format with the addition of vocalist Helge Thornes, a figure from the Norwegian psychobilly and dancehall scenes of the 80’s and 90’s. Kva er Vald is the tr…

Bidule 2.0
On Bidule 2.0, eRikm tunnels into a cache of unheard Pierre Henry tapes, feeding analog “sound objects” from 1950–1974 through his custom digital apparatus to forge a dense, flickering work where early musique concrète and present‑tense signal processing fold into one another.
Hubris
** 2026 Repress ** First released in 2016 and long out of print, Hubris has come to feel like a pivot in Oren Ambarchi’s catalogue - the moment when his fascination with groove, repetition and ensemble friction finally detonated into something both overwhelming and weirdly precise. This new edition gives that record the sonic treatment it always deserved. Working from the original mixes, mastering engineer Joe Talia revisits the album with what can only be called forensic care, teasing out layer…
