*200 copies limited edition* Musica Divina is a collaborative sound art project formed by Haare and Vincent Dallas. Rooted in long-form improvisation and environmental textures, the duo created 2 immersive sonic landscapes from dense organic drones, metal scraping and manipulated concrete sounds for their first album. Drawing inspiration from the organic minimalism and material-focused approach of artists like Jeph Jerman, Musica Divina explores the physicality of sound through slow-moving compo…
Soileth
*250 copies limited edition* Soileth collects the complete recorded output of Holeist, a short-lived project featuring Dan Burke, Jeph Jerman and Eric Lunde. It stands as the final document of a brief encounter between these major figures of the American experimental underground, recorded in 1989 - a time when cassette culture, primitive sampling technology and extreme sound experimentation were colliding into something entirely new.
The material for side one was recorded during a single-day ses…
Venus
*250 copies limited edition* Venus is a new LP by Swedish group Organ of Corti and marks their fifth release on Dead Mind Records. For the occasion, Chinese-American vocalist and musician Audrey Chen enters the magnetic world of Mattias Gustafsson, Dan Johansson and Joachim Nordwall. While tape turns and circuits hum, these six pieces slowly unfold. Familiar fragments are repeated until they lose their origin. Synthesizer tones drift through layers of magnetic residue, while Chen's voice appears…
Magnetic Tapes 1-7
*100 copies limited edition* Corpse Magnetism is a collaborative project between Rudolf Eb.er and Johnny van de Koolwijk. Rooted in ritualistic sound practices and primitive outsider aesthetics, the duo creates immersive pieces built from organic drones, handmade instruments, decayed textures, primitive percussion and improvised field recordings.

Colonial Vipers
On Colonial Vipers, various artists from the Dutch Trumpett orbit condense the 1982 home‑taping surge into 13 rare tracks of minimal synth, DIY cold wave and concrete industrial atmospherics, finally transferred from cassette obscurity to heavyweight vinyl.
Inner Storm
On Inner Storm, Seth Price channels a deeply personal rupture into four raw, single‑take synthesizer improvisations, turning real‑time manual control, LFO pulses and live pedal work into a stark study of emotion, process and duration.

New Music
Limited edition of 50 copies on purple vinyl. A meeting of two uncompromising sound artists, Carlos Giffoni and Joachim Nordwall, New Music fuses pulsating electronic rhythms, immersive drones, and abstract textures into a vivid, physical listening experience. Emerging from the outer edges of techno, noise, and electro-acoustic composition, both artists channel their distinct sonic vocabularies into a shared space of tension and transformation. Giffoni's deep synth drones collide with Nordwall's…
Split

Club Moral
Club Moral emerged on January 1st, 1981, in Antwerp, Belgium, as both a collective and a challenge. Founded by artists Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) and Danny Devos (DDV), it operated as an industrial band, a performance platform, and a venue that became a magnet for Europe's most uncompromising voices. Between 1981 and 1987, the Antwerp space hosted exhibitions, happenings and live shows featuring Produktion, Boyd Rice, John Duncan, Coupe de Grace and others—turning the city into a crucial out…
Opera
The experimental landmark Opera by FNTC returns in a remastered CD edition, nearly forty years after its original cassette release on Staalplaat in 1987. A striking document of Europe's late 80s cassette underground, Opera captures the collective at their most adventurous - merging spontaneous composition, sound collage and performance art into a single immersive experience.

Locus
300 copies. Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joach…
Radiola
100 copies on red vinyl w/ envelope including 14 extra inserts. Between 1978 and 1984, Fluxus artist Willem de Ridder did a weekly radio show called De Radiola Improvisatie Salon. Listeners were invited to send in cassettes recorded at home and would get guaranteed airtime. Willem never listened to any of the tapes in advance. No censorship or personal taste were involved, just total artistic freedom. Long before social media existed, he understood that just providing a platform could ignite bo…
Europe in Flames
200 copies. CD wallet with 8 page booklet including photos from a scrapbook, found in Willem de Ridder’s archive. The word Fanatic comes from the Latin fanum, temple. A fanatic is someone possessed, by God or the Devil. From 1985 until 1989 Willem de Ridder, Hessel Veldman, Cora Emens and Nick Nicole were the members of post-art ensemble Fanatic (or later FNTC).

Blue Telepathy
Lettera 22 is a project of Riccardo Mazza and Matteo Castro, hailing from northeast Italy, a region riddled by ravines and sleepy villages. For Blue Telepathy they edited concrete sounds, field recordings, analog instruments and tape manipulations into 4 textured compositions, drenched in tape hiss and interrupted by waves of distorted electronics. At the peak of their powers, the duo created a true sense of space and a hauntingly sensorial, immersive shadow world, where ghosts seem to come aliv…
On Bare Ground
*200 copies limited edition* Red Brut’s third album, "On Bare Ground", is a sonic tapestry woven from the final threads of her Rotterdam existence. Entirely composed of soundscapes captured during her last two years in the city, the album evolves into a poignant farewell as its creation mirrors the passage of time, culminating in a profound departure from her life there. “On Bare Ground” is a sculptural work blending its lo-fi with haunting melodies, field recordings, and ethereal soundscapes. U…
Frogs, a Selection of Field Recordings
Tip! *Much needed Repress!!!* About 10 years ago I tried to contact Dutch artist and scientist Felix Hess, when he was still alive, but never got a reply. Years later, in 2022, I was talking to Frans de Waard, who told me he was administering the sound archive of the late Hess together with Mark Poysden. Together we started working on an album to celebrate his life and many accomplishments. It includes selections from all the highly collectible Frogs releases from the 80's and 90's, while the ar…
A Glimpse of Light
An absolute gem from the vaults of '80s Ambient music and the Dutch underground, Dead Minds’ reissue of Enno Velthuys’ astounding 1984 album, "Glimpse of Light", is a crucial missing link, one of the greatest unheard albums of its era, and one of the most beautiful records any of us is likely to encounter all year.
