Cyan Music
Tip! ** Edition of 70 ** On Cyan Music, Atte Elias Kantonen sets out to answer a deceptively simple question: what happens when shimmer and sheen – qualities usually belonging to light – are reimagined as pure sound. Across eight pieces he uses radiant, meticulously sculpted synthesis to build a world where timbre behaves like reflective surfaces, refracting and scattering in ways that feel almost tangible. Rather than leaning on obvious ambient tropes, he treats each track as a small laboratory…
Einde Were
*100 copies limited edition* ‘Einde Were’ is the debut solo album by guitarist Nicolas Van Belle, recorded in late 2024 at Zinnema in Brussels. It will be released as KR007 on Klankhaven Records on vinyl, accompanied by a booklet of texts. At its core a mourning record, the central theme of this album is as old as time itself: the existential crisis that follows a breakup, loss, and/or farewell. Nicolas Van Belle transforms this universal aspect of life into a ten-part musical epitome, in which …
Strata
Music aged in time, resonating from the surface to the corethrough layers and sediments of stones — the strata. Four morning recording sessions with a separation between them of between three and ten months — a chronozone that will rest for a time and on which the next one will be added, thus forming the total of the six pieces of the album — becoming six strata.
A slow-moving album that develops landscapes of subtle but continuous evolution, where we find layers of diverse nature created from d…

Proportioning of open units
Besides being a visual artist, Christoffer Kjærskov has quietly been making experimental music for the last 20 years. His works, always recorded to 4 track cassette, seem to carry a certain warmth flowing through the patiently unfolding loops and shimmering melodies this release is an assemblage of synthesizer, urban field recordings and even some synthetic flute solos peeping through the tape mist. A lovely unpretentious recording, I am very happy to present through afvikling .
The sad house and the bad house
I’m happy to present a new recording on Afvikling from my friend Frederik Heidemann, this time working under his new Plain Bob Minor alias. Where his first tape for the label was a patiently unfolding piece of homemade chamber music, this recording is in every way very different. This tape consists of small compositions for midi controlled synthesizer. Quirky and often times humorous but still characterized by the same warmth that flows through all Frederiks Recordings. Frederik Is slowly but su…
It was so real
Josefine, The person behind Upshifter and I come from the same town, Odense, she’s a few years older than me. I remember being very young and going to a vegan community kitchen and hearing rumors about her amazing synthpop group Time Masters around 10 years ago. This spring she started to play concerts with her new project Upshifter, described as “New Age /manifestation” on the first poster which of course made me very curious about the music. It’s an honor to present this demo cassette of glimm…
1–16
When I started to be curious about producing cassette tapes around 2016, everyone I met said that I should talk to Wilfred Wagner. Not only did he have a lot of printing equipment and knowledge about cover design, he also have one of Copenhagen’s only functioning tape duplicators. I think it’s safe to say that Wilfred is a legend in the Copenhagen underground. He has helped everyone to make covers, underground books etc. He also ran an exhibition platform making art books and been involved in th…
Prehistory
Some 42 years after its initial release, Circle X’s Prehistory returns to the vinyl format. New listeners to this music will discover, in addition to the roiling compulsion in its odd, dance-damaged clockwork and instinctive joining of feral and aestheticized values, a refined understanding of the width andbreadth of “post-punk” music, both in and out of its time. In and out of time, Circle X operated between 1978 and 1995, formed in Louisville, KY, but existing largely as a New York-based colle…
Glassworks
Philip Glass’s seminal 1982 album Glassworks remains one of the most influential and accessible works in contemporary classical and minimalist music, bridging the worlds of concert hall and popular listening with timeless elegance.
Originally conceived as a “Walkman‑suitable” work, Glassworks was designed for intimate, personal listening on cassette, with a special headphone‑oriented mix that brought listeners deep inside Glass’s intricate, pulsing sound world. The album’s six short, vividly con…
Die On Me
Originally released on CD in 2002, this LP features archival recordings dating back to 1959 alongside recordings made by Hal Willner in January 2001 (Jan 7th - 10th). For the fi rst time ever on vinyl, `Die On Me' has been re-mastered & newly edited by Kramer. Within this historic collection are the last voice recordings of the legendary Beat poet Gregory Corso. Intimate and raw, he muses on his life in conversation with friends Allen Ginsberg, Marianne Faithfull, and the legendary Chicago write…
Music From The Other Side Of The Fence
A collection of previously unreleased material (between '75 & '90) by Enno Velthuys.Compiled by Hessel Veldman.
Fata Morgana
On their new album Fata Morgana, an illusory trip of emotion and confrontation, Belgian duo schntzl conjure mirages of fleeting realities while diving headfirst into a trance-driven, confrontational digital sound. Fata Morgana unfolds like a hyper-visual journey, constructing enveloping dreamworlds through trance-infused live electronica. Yet trance here is present not in form but in essence—an intensity, a state of being. It may stir the same emotions as club music, but schntzl express them in …
Ghetto Dub
The long-overdue revival of Bim Sherman’s catalog begins here. These essential recordings will become widely available again for the first time in decades, opening a new chapter in the appreciation of one of Jamaica’s most distinctive voices and representing a major moment for reggae and dub aficionados around the world. This reissue series will not only preserve his legacy but will also offer listeners the chance to experience the depth and timeless resonance of Sherman’s work in its full glory…
Improvised Textures
Pianist Bas Bulteel has been actively exploring the boundaries of solo piano work for several years now. This resulted, among other things, in his first solo album Eye Of The Storm, which was released in 2024 on W.E.R.F. Records. In the compositions for that album, he drew inspiration on the one hand from the minimalist school and on the other from contemporary avant-garde pianists. However, his hunger for experimentation was not satisfied after just one solo album. Shortly after finishing the a…
Paysages Planétaires
Paysages Planétaires on Alga Marghen may be the great unrecognized masterpiece of ethno-electroacoustic music, a 3CD box that arrived in 2004 with almost no fanfare and has waited two decades for ears ready to hear it. Henri Pousseur and Michel Butor, collaborators across forty years and more than twenty works, here achieve something that resonates uncannily with Jon Hassell and Brian Eno's "Fourth World" concept. Yet Pousseur, the serialist pioneer who worked alongside Karlheinz Stockhausen and…
