Noa Noa
Noa Noa is the debut tape by Nicolas Gaunin, italian electronic musician from Padua, already known for his militancy in bands such as Orange Car Crash, The Beautiful Bunker and Lay Llamas. With this work Gaunin shows his ability to find the right balance between mechanized polyrhythms and acoustic samples, drawing his personal sketches of tribal ensembles and central Africa's orchestras, reworking the sounds and messing up with rhythms. The result is a very delicate yet groovy tape that recalls …
Poetry Reading with Sound Footnotes
Giorgio Dursi is an italian musician and performer based in Berlin. After his debut cassette on the almighty Das Andere Selbst, he returns with a new abstract and destructured sonic experience.

Exotic Esoterique Vol 2
Exotic Ésotérique vol. 2 is the second chapter of our first release/compilation. Not much to say. The idea came almost as a programmatic manifesto and guideline for our label: with the first cassette we were trying to seek for and define our musical identity while getting to know new realities (both musicians and labels) to collaborate with. For this purpose we found interesting to combine the most different genres and bands to build up a sonorous wunderkammer, a musical cabinet of curi…
Musica Lavapiatti
In the past years we’ve seen many cool albums released as they were, just beautiful music artifacts with no particular purpose rather than pleasing the most trained ears in the underground scene of music listeners and cassette tapes aficionados. After a big research involving a copious amount of people including musicians, housewives and household management's scientists, Artetetra, in collaboration with the bolognese crew of Islandsexp, ended up with a catalogue of music that serves both as a p…
