N.Y.C.
One of the most distinctive and influential instrumental ensembles of the 1980s, Steps Ahead injected urgently needed vitality into a stagnating fusion landscape with their own brand of intelligent, living jazz. With N.Y.C., their debut for Intuition, the group returned in an electrifying new incarnation and with a dynamically reimagined sound.
Co-founder Mike Mainieri assembled a constellation of seasoned virtuosos for this session: drummer Steve Smith (known for his work with Journey and his o…
Sueño
Eddie Palmieri stands among the most influential pianists and arrangers in salsa and Latin jazz history. His singular voice fuses the rhythmic urgency of his Puerto Rican roots with the harmonic sophistication of jazz visionaries like Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, and McCoy Tyner. Since founding La Perfecta in 1961 - a radical ensemble built on trombones rather than trumpets - Palmieri has consistently redefined the boundaries between jazz and Afro-Caribbean music.
Released in 1989 and produc…

Malenčyk / Lami
Malenčyk / Lami is a double vinyl pairing unpublished archival recordings of Belarusian fiddler Stanisłaŭ Malenčyk with Italian sound artist Giovanni Lami's response to that archive.
Krope
Krope is a six-part conceptual album by Belarusian sound artist and producer Anton Anishchanka. Rooted in archival folk songs recorded between the 1960s and 2000s, it transforms fragile voices of the past into living, cinematic sound worlds. Created in collaboration with ethnographer Iryna Vasilyeva, the album weaves Belarusian traditional music with field recordings, acoustic instruments, and analog synthesizers — an immersive journey where memory, landscape, and resilience converge.

Benzalkonium
*Each copy is assembled by hand using raw, tactile materials. The physical object mirrors the work itself: restrained, weathered, and intentionally unresolved* There is a point at which something familiar begins to dissolve... Not all at once, but slowly, a quiet erosion. Edges soften. Meanings drift. What once held form becomes uncertain, and in that uncertainty, something else begins to surface. Benzalkonium inhabits this threshold. Across two discs, Epimyth traces a landscape of pressure and…
Fundus
*2026 repress. 300 copies limited edition* After serving for years as a sought-after harpist in various constellations and genres, Laura De Jongh now shares with us an intimate insight of what sounds like the Third Space of her daily, rooted life as a music teacher and mother of two offsprings, where she composes meandering miniatures free of ego, validation and urge.
With references to New Age, ambient and the proximity of field recordings, Laura De Jongh teaches us that music doesn't need to g…
Ghosts Beneath The Brine
Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle concludes their trilogy on Important Records with an album that confronts the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems. From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's ris…
Images of Life
Images of Life is the career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Detroit's unheralded songwriting genius, Ted Lucas. Disc one "Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970)" highlights Ted's flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. "Rainy Days (1970-1974)" will be the solo acoustic warmth and charm most familiar to folks already aware of Ted's self- titled "OM" album from 1975. "…
Second Life
De Mond blend gargles of stomach ache electronic dubs with the energy of a raging ozz garage band and the blasting beat of a heavily sampled hip hop act, sauced with neon vocals sang through the exhaust pipe of a lost balkenbrei eating uncle from Peer in backward Limburg! We always heard the echo's of late 90's / early 2000's Providence / Load loudness in De Mond's live shows, without the masks, though with the red paint dripping all over the floor. There's surely that high energy warehouse punk…
Searching
*2026 repress* Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascada …
In a secret room
*300 copies limited edition* In a Secret Room is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD, bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visu…
Empty Wall, Meadow Green
"Mossy Place is the experimental solo project of Kayla Jane Macneill; inspired by the flowering fern and winter’s moss, poetic nonsense, poetic truths, and the theatre of the absurd to create a rhythmic journey into the sea of big love. When I saw the video for The Pauper that was posted on Mossy Place's ig account I knew that we had to release this music on Bruit Direct ラブクラブ (that's our CD only outlet) I had been listening to her music (poetic, soft, jaunty, thrilling, throbbing, fast, quirky …
Alphabet Soup (The Translingual Sayings of Emma and Eva as Recorded by Their Father) (Book)
Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of two multilingual girls as written down by their poet father. As their Turkish-German-Russian-American family moves from New York to Berlin, the girls communicate in a witty and colorful language of their own, effortlessly mixing words of different origin. Does who we are determine the way we speak — or is it the other way around? Alphabet Soup shows us the girls’ language as it changes, letting us witness their metamorphoses from toddlers to teenagers.

Kujodada
This is the mental junkyard of evaporating dreams, disintegrating memories and fading recollections. Industrial Gagaku.
Liskoaivo/Alkeis
In Finnish language Alkeis is not exactly a full word, but functions more like a prefix, meaning rudimentary or primitive. It communicates well the habitus of the crude oscillations that are inspected here: the smallest possible, single-cell organism devoid of thought, driven by instinct.
Liskoaivo is a finnish word for "lizard brain", the region of the brain that regulates our primitive reactions.As sophisticated as oscillators and modular synthesis might be, at the core lies an unexplainable u…
