Emerging anonymously from Bristol's legendary electronic music scene, Capper Pass materializes on Indefinite Boundary with Bayhead – six tracks of smoldering neo-industrial textures, fractured southern rap rhythms and experimental sound design. Drawing inspiration from the ghosts of deindustrialization and the landscapes left behind, the name holds personal significance for one half of the project, who grew up near the former Capper Pass metal refinery in East Yorkshire, a site infamous for its …

Boris and Michio Kurihara of Ghost and White Heaven first joined forces on Rainbow in 2006. Drag City now issues it on vinyl for its 20th anniversary: heavy psych, droning jams and short pop songs, in a tip-on sleeve with a vellum lyric insert.

Debut self-titled album from Melbourne ensemble Standing Circle, led by Larry Crestani (guitar, kraartar, vocals). Eight tracks recorded live at The Grove, Melbourne, mixed and mastered by Nick Herrera. The record moves through spiritual jazz, jazz-funk and groove, with heavy Afro influence running through the rhythm section: congas, percussion and bass locking into rich African undertones throughout. Built around a shifting cast of Melbourne musicians and compositions that never repeat themselv…

“It's got a lovely bustle going on hasn't it! Absolute winner! All the component parts are spot on as well, I love the female voice and the brass and the keys... that's gonna sell out, no bother.” - Lee Skelly/Dime Records

Big tip! Mr Bongo proudly presents a reissue of Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo’s masterpiece Dreams. Blending lush, Eastern European-tinged psychedelic jazz with beautiful arrangements by Gary McFarland, its unique, delicate, charming sound has entranced record collectors for years. Originally released in 1968 on Skye Records, it’s quite rightly become a sought-after LP, and here at Mr Bongo, we wanted to reissue as close a replica edition as possible. Hungarian-born, Szabo left his home countr…

Yekaterinburg-based electronic artist Shine Grooves returns with Pyshma, a hypnotic new release on Gost Zvuk. Blending ambient textures, experimental electronics and subtle rhythmic movement, the record reveals an intimate and immersive side of the Russian producer’s ever-evolving sound. Across eleven tracks, Pyshma unfolds like a collection of half-remembered landscapes: shimmering tones, delicate melodic fragments, lo-fi loops and understated beats drift in and out of focus, creating an atmosp…

Open Universe is a new record label founded in 2025 following an invitation to envision a series of releases for the German production music library Sonoton. Curated by Jon Tye (Lo Recordings, Ocean Moon, Seahawks, MLO) with a remit to explore and create new worlds of sound in which to dwell and discover. Prismatic Fields is a collaboration between Ocean Moon and Silver Ley (Jon Tye & Bethany Ley), together they create metaphysical pop from another dimension where warm oscillations mingle and re…

Remarkably, Tim Depraetere is releasing his debut solo LP only now. It feels like he’s been one of the strongholders of the Belgian underground for years. Which he is, really. We were introduced to his work when he was a member of Maan – the duo that only did one LP (on Kraak) and had a very strong live reputation. After that, he’s been around with, among others, Camargue, Tina, and as a collaborator with Annelies Monseré. And since a few years, also as Goldscammer. Thus far, Tim has released a …

Pianist Irene Aranda's trio with saxophonist Don Malfon and vocalist Ami Yamasaki, whose echolocation vocal practice meets Malfon's extended saxophone techniques in an absorbing improvised language.

Colombian reed player María Valencia, on alto saxophone and clarinet, and Argentine cornetist Leonel Kaplan in an intimate improvised duo recorded in Belgrade in 2025, patient and full of textural invention.

Weston Olencki's compositions for the Quebec percussion trio Bascaille: tuned fiddles, homemade zithers, watershed debris, speaker cones and an upright piano in two long pieces of friction, resonance and lopsided pulse.

Solo cello and voice by Julia Biłat, recorded live near Berlin: splintered harmonics, rough bow textures and resonant drones in improvised compositions that move like a passage through shadow.

Jessica Pavone's sixth solo viola album builds on the open strings and their sympathetic resonances, with electronic effects as a playing partner and guest appearances by Fred Frith on guitar and Joe Lally on bass.

Solo guitar by Swiss improviser Florian Stoffner: six pieces he recorded himself at Bee Street studio, mixed by John Butcher, stretching the instrument's vocabulary through texture, space and spontaneous invention.

Tip! When Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson passed away in 2010, he left several projects in different stages of completion. In 2014, seven of these tracks were assembled by people close to him and released as Time Machines II on a limited deluxe memory stick. The edition sold out almost immediately and has since become a collector’s item. Despite its title, Time Machines II is very different from Coil’s 1998 drone classic. More varied in sound, it recalls instrumental Coil works such as The Restitu…

Scanner reworks an hour of Nurse with Wound material into six pieces named after homeopathic remedies: radio static, processed voices and squeaky guitars in an echoing maze. Double vinyl, the fourth side etched by Babs Santini.

Drawing on wide performance and composition experience in free improvisation, jazz, and composed new music, the quartet have carved out a unique niche where radical approaches to rhythmic organisation and group interaction are wedded to immediately accessible, folkish …

It feels as if it were yesterday. In 2002, after returning to Frankfurt from a record-hunting trip to Johannesburg, I put one of my new South African discoveries on the turntable and jumped into the shower. Suddenly, the record player erupted into a terrible noise, as if someone were hammering the needle. I ran out, dripping wet, and discovered that the stylus had hit a deep cut carved into the vinyl. A Kenyan friend, Dan Ojwang, had sent me to a record shop opposite the Market Theatre in Newtow…

'Σ [sigma]' is the new album by composer, saxophone player and improviser Antonio Raia. The first chapter of a trilogy dedicated to Berlin — where Raia spent several weeks recording alongside producer Francesco Donadello in different locations — 'Σ [sigma]' reflects on the relationship between body, space and sound, understood as a performative gesture closely linked to the space that hosts it.  Recorded inside the Wasserturm in Prenzlauer Berg—the oldest water tower in Berlin, built in 1877—'Σ …

Two familiar faces within the Kohlhaas fold—Stefano Calderano as part of the trio McCorman (2023), and Giovanni Di Domenico through his solo works "Polvere di rabbia" (2021) and "Stella Maris" (2025)—join now forces on "Caperea". Bridging Rome and Brussels, where Calderano and Di Domenico are respectively based, the record marks the first collaborative LP by the two musicians. Born from a shared sensibility and a mutual curiosity for non-linear structures, what began as a brief two-day session o…

Weekend With Friends is a collective featuring Jacopo Buda (trumpet, electronics), Alberto Brutti (double bass, electronics), Mattia Bellei (clarinet, electronics), and Demetrio Cecchitelli (flute, guitar, electronics). At its core, the project thrives on organic improvisation and the fluid freedom to drift across diverse musical languages. The result is a captivating, symbiotic dialogue among the musicians—weaving a sonic narrative that is simultaneously cinematic and introspective, yet inheren…
