Crystal
Emerging from the depths of a private mindscape, Crystal by Stan Hubbs delivers epically torched psychedelia that transports listeners to a vivid sonic dream. Recorded in isolation within a remote cabin nestled among the majestic California redwoods, this 1982 brain-frying masterpiece captures a unique blend of vintage psychedelia and innovative homegrown sounds.
Crystal stands as the missing link between the iconic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida era and the surreal charm of harpsichord-driven hallucinogens…
Guanyin
Tauceti (Lilou Chelal) is a DJ / producer / composer from Lyon. As a DJ Chelal distills a dark, tropical and sensual techno with percussive and vaporous rhythms in her mix.

Unstable
Dictaphone are back with their 6th full length called "Unstable". In the 25th year of the project Brussels born composer and mastermind Oliver Doerell is surrounded again by a lot of musicians & friends.

Poems From A Rooftop
Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin. The dusty, haunted jazz of 'M.=addiction' and 'Vertigo II' is still visible, but joined by Stolze's shimmering string tones, giving the already rich sound a further layer of depth.
The title 'Poems from a rooftop' co…

The Art Of Sound(s)
"In times like ours, such an absence of the ordinary, of the real, may not exactly be a political statement. But as a social concept, this kind of music might be a beginning—a step toward a different, perhaps better, perception of the world around us. And that’s precisely what “The Art of Sound(s)“ is: Because as soon as the molecules start dancing in this chamber of reflections, art is becoming a true and selfless act of existentialism." - Rudolf Amstutz
Gal
*2025 repress* After Caetano Veloso broke out with his solo debut, the self-titled 1968 release recognized as the building block for the now infamous Brazilian Tropicalia movement, his friends and musical peers released similar albums, always upping the ante in terms of outrageousness and inventiveness. This release, the second of two self-titled albums released by Gal Costa in 1969, set the high watermark in terms of overall insanity and complete experimental freedom for the entire lot; not Vel…

Bedlam
The English blues revival played a crucial role in shaping a new generation of performers and spawning diverse sub-genres. Emerging from this movement, the hard rock revolution ignited with the powerful riffs of Cream and their contemporaries, paving the way for a fresh wave known as the “British invasion.”
Among the impactful yet brief contributors to this era was Bedlam, a four-piece band that released a single studio album in 1973. At the heart of the band was the formidable drummer Cozy Powe…
Twice Removed
*100 copies limited edition* Twice Removed is the tangible-auditory outcome of a collaborative artistic "game" between Texas-based multidisciplinary artist TJ Norris and Dutch sound artist Jos Smolders. The process was a dynamic, cyclical exchange: the artists first exchanged and paired images; Norris then initiated the text, to which Smolders created the associated sounds.
