★Spun Out of Control
VHS
Tip! Do not adjust your tracking… Spun Out Of Control is proud to present its second ever release from Gary Collins. ‘VHS’ follows up Collins’ 2018’s tremor-down-the-spine inducing ‘Suzy Went Missing’ album, also on sold-out cassette, and prior releases on the Giallo Disco label. An Italo/horror disco flavoured homage to the one-time joys of renting forbidden ‘video nasties’ on cassette, each track on ‘VHS’ soundtracks an imagined movie from 1979 through to 1990. Titles including ‘Flesh Cult’, ‘…

Profiler
Excited and inspired by the evocative sounds of late 1980s synthesizer scores and the movies they sound-tracked, Rupert Lally returns with new album ‘Profiler’.

Cinema du Look
Tip! *'Dijon Mustard' coloured vinyl, limited edition LP * Femme Fatales with big guns, coolly efficient assassins, highly sexed and impossibly beautiful kleptomaniacs, Paris Métro signs, wet cobbled streets – and neon, always lots of neon; the visual aesthetics of the Cinéma Du Look movement of the early 1980s to early 1990s were as important as the characters in the films themselves.Identified by Revue du Cinéma critic Raphaël Bassan in its May 1989 issue, ‘Cinéma Du Look’ principally revolved…

Murdercoaster
*220 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* What to write about an album called Murdercoaster...? After several years of far too much serious stuff going on, I figured it was time to have a bit of fun again! This album draws on all the very worst of home video entertainment as an influence (previous listeners will be shocked by this revelation). I'm talking about the kind of trashy fun that required all the cheap latex, slime and screaming teenagers available to make the thinly draped p…
Hacker

This ‘u…

Concrete Island
Concrete Island, music by The Heartwood Institute & Hawksmoor. 'Our collaboration was initiated in February 2020, on the cusp of what would become a historically fateful year. We began with no rules and by sharing files, which could range from a modular loop to a bass line, melody or rhythm track, or something more realised that needed a fresh pair of ears to deconstruct and re-work it. Eventually something cohesive began to take shape. It wasn’t always an easy listen and frequently the results …
