Öppet Fyra
In close collaboration with musician Mats Gustafsson and jazz archivist Roger Bergner at the Centre for Swedish Folk Music & Jazz Research, Caprice presents a relatively unexplored period of Scandinavian creative and experimental music from the 1960s and 70s. In the record series Öppet, we look towards the future by digging in the past. We find exclamation points of creativity from a period that, in many ways, was a time of pioneering in art as well as music. Anything was possible, and we like t…

Black Truffle is thrilled to announce a second volume of unheard concert performances from legendary Pakistani kyhal singer Salamat Ali Khan, recorded at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie as part of the MetaMusik festival in 1974.

Elbow Deep In The Hoopla
Dark Entries is Elbow Deep in the Hoopla thanks to J.D. Slater. Legendary actor, director, and composer J.D.

Bugs
*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by macro photography, field recordings and the hidden world of insects, "Bugs" explores the fragile boundary between nature and electronics. Built through instinctive improvisations with analog synthesizers, acoustic instruments, drum machines and environmental recordings, the album unfolds as a collection of immersive sonic landscapes suspended between twilight and darkness. Rather than describing the natural world, "Bugs" magnifies it, transforming tiny mo…
Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The artist’s name and the title of the work alone would be enough to introduce this release: Ennio Morricone and “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso.” On one hand, the world’s most famous Italian composer and conductor; on the other, one of the most beloved and celebrated Italian films of all time, Giuseppe Tornatore’s masterpiece, which in 1990, two years after its theatrical release, won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Love, nostalgia, and melancholy permeate “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” and come to l…
Buon Vecchio Charlie
Recorded in 1972 and unreleased for nearly twenty years, Buon Vecchio Charlie’s self-titled album belongs to that select category of works that, despite not seeing the light of day at the time of their creation, have over time managed to carve out a prominent place in the history of Italian progressive rock.
The band formed in Rome in the early 1970s, within a particularly fertile musical scene, centered around guitarist and composer Luigi Calabrò and keyboardist Alessandro Centofanti. After jus…

Exotic Moods
JJ Whitefield dives deep into the golden era of library music, drawing inspiration from KPM, De Wolfe, Bruton Music, CAM and the composers who shaped the genre. Slow Moods presents 14 original instrumentals packed with atmospheric grooves, exotic touches and meticulously layered overdubs. East Asian and East African influences meet locked-in rhythms and sharp arrangements.
Style
Bomb! Rhodes and Hammond, wah-wah guitar, strings, horns and the first traces of the synthesizer, moving between jazz-funk, bossa, psychedelia and pop with the ease that only the Roman studio scene of the mid-1970s could produce. Recorded in Rome in 1974 for RCA Italiana's short-lived library series and pressed in a tiny run for film, television and advertising producers rather than for sale, Gianni Oddi's Style has been one of the most sought-after titles in Italian library music for decades, a…
Ungebunden
Faust unbound, curated by keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler. Drones, grooves and collage roam free, another founder's window onto the collective's fearless, uncategorisable body of work.
Fliegen Lernen

Sowas Von Egal 3 (German Synth Wave Underground 1981-86)
The third dig into Germany's synth-wave underground, 1981-86. Cold drum machines, cheap keyboards and DIY nerve from the NDW margins, a trove of minimal-wave obscurities rescued from the cassette age.
Merzbow 108 CD Box
The Merzbow 108 CD Box turns Merzbow’s vast archive into a monument of productive excess: 108 discs spanning lost albums, alternate mixes, outtakes, rehearsals and recent work, assembled by Slowdown Records across nearly a decade. Its Buddhist number signals 108 worldly desires - but this is noise as discipline, mutation and inexhaustible liberation.
A Gira
A longtime favorite among Brazilian music collectors, Trio Ternura’s ‘A Gira’ blends mid-tempo grooves with percussive funk and soul in a way that feels effortlessly timeless. Originally released in 1973, the track was written by the group’s father and uncle as a heartfelt homage to the Candomblé deity celebrating nature and spirituality. Trio Ternura was a true family project, made up of three siblings with deep musical roots. According to them ‘A Gira’ captures “the dancing, the expression, th…

Utilizing the composer's longstanding, singular approach to electroacoustic composition that first altered the collective consciousness back in 1984 with the legendary LP, The Loa Of Music - intertwining field recording, samples, and Musci's own instrumental interventions - Dusty Colors draws its primar…
