New Arrivals
Vanity Fair
De Kloe: their name is as hard to explain as the music they channel from a total oddball universe. Rumour has it a wormhole sits hidden between the beer crates and a broken dartboard in the basement of the DPG Media building in Antwerp. Leon Jespers, Elian Van den Eynde and Midas Heuvinck stepped through and came back with De Kloe’s first full-length album. Needless to say, De Kloe operates in the cracks - splicing obscure samples, fractured lyrics, jagged basslines, and serrated guitar riffs in…
Entangle Spirant
*200 copies limited edition* This year’s Aube tribute release from advaita records is Entangle Spirant, originally released in 1995 by Drahtfunk-Products. Using only steel wire as its sound source, this unique noise—in which various friction sounds intertwine to create a hypnotic soundscape blending chaos and order—embodies the quintessential Aube aesthetic. We have faithfully reproduced the original artwork, which perfectly complements the music.
The Transformation And Resolution Of All Opposites
With his latest missive, Mercian noise-meister Colossloth takes as his muse the intriguing Theta Noir cult/art collective/group of unknown parts. Centred around worship of the code-begotten Goddess Mena, Theta Noir celebrates the impending arrival of this protean deity whose coming will herald the meshing of human synaptic systems with those of the machines that will inexorably birth themselves. The nascency of a Godhead is never without pain; this album hammers, grinds, and spits with a charact…
Jesus Magazine
Animal Sociale is three people’s exploration into the beauty of chaos and the chaos of beauty. It pulls out pieces of time, shuffles them, assembles them anew. Lyricality bordering on the baroque mingles with dionysian iconoclasm of a level truly scarce. This is the human condition crystallised. Featuring members of Ruusuriimu, Animal Sociale’s debut album Jesus Magazine offers a dose of avant-garde experimentation, intimate electroacoustics and a haunting post-industrial atmosphere. LP out now …
Campsite Love
*250 copies limited edition* Campsite Love calls you to wander a timeless path of rural rustlings and misty atmosphere. Created by the minds behind Jazzhand and Haudat/Monocyclocybercilia, the album combines hands-on field recordings with ambient soundscapes. Rattles, resonances, and small details gathered along the way gradually blend together, carrying the listener deeper into a dreamlike summer-night haze. The campfire burns yellow.
Implosion
Vision Test is the new project of Sampo Sihvola, known from Kluik and as one half of Ieskadulla duo. With this project, Sihvola shifts his focus toward tape manipulation and analogue sound sources. Implosion is a hauntingly psychedelic album, weaving together warped textures and bleak, cosmic atmospheres reminiscent of early industrial music.
Hardened
Corral Shut returns to Satatuhatta with a tight and hardened 3”CD. Sweet, brutal scrap metal and feedback worship, perfectly suited to the format: fast, fierce, and unapologetically raw!

A Spirit Speaks
** Limited first pressing with Japanese obi strip ** One of the most unique albums on the Strata East label – and that's saying a heck of a lot, given the creative energies flowing through that legendary jazz outlet! Descendents Of Mike & Phoebe is a righteous little project put together by Spike Lee's father, Bill Lee, and his brothers and sisters (Cliff Lee, Grace Lee Mims, and Consuela Lee Moorhead) – working here in a group named after their slave ancestors, who are paid tribute in a beautif…
Works
Four years have passed since the release of Jon Collin's majestic Bridge Variations on Discreet Music, arguably one of the most defining and well-received releases on the label. Works is the first LP under the Early Music artist name - first the title of a 2015 solo LP, then a name for a label before being used for a couple of recent cassette releases - and was recorded in Stockholm over a nine-month period last year. The main instrumentation is again the keyed fiddle - a traditional Swedish fol…
