News From Nowhere
*2025 stock. 80 copies limited edition* First album in 26 years from Italian brothers Giancarlo and Roberto Drago, the Genoese duo behind one of the most significant minimal-industrial projects to emerge from Italy's "Anni di Piombo" (Years of Lead). Active from 1982 to 1993, The Tapes released over twenty cassettes on their own Industrial Tapes label before moving to legendary imprints like Minus Habens and Amen.
Their inclusion in the Strut compilation Mutazione: Italian Electronic & New Wave …
New Real Toy / Dub
*2025 stock. 90 copies limited edition* Two-track 7" release from 45LB, delivering a concise statement of electronic experimentalism. The A-side "New Real Toy" and B-side "Dub" showcase the project's approach to synthetic sound design and rhythmic manipulation.
Gaslighting
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Debut album from Emiliana Voltarel, formerly keyboardist in gothic-rock bands Yabanci and Bazalt. OndaRock's review compared her icy post-industrial electronics to 1990s Coil and Lustmord, while also citing contemporary artists like Drew McDowall, Hiro Kone and Puce Mary.
Voltarel was assisted by heavyweights of Italian post-industrial: Maurizio Pustianaz (aka Gerstein), ODRZ, and Marco Milanesio who handled mixing and mastering. Tracks like "Saturnalia" …
The End Of The Beginning / The Beginning Of The End
*2025 stock. 250 copies limited edition* Live collaborative recording between two pillars of Italian experimental music. Monofonic Orchestra is the long-running project of Maurizio Marsico, Milanese polymath active since the early 1980s when he studied Electronic Composition under Angelo Paccagnini at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory. His debut albums Music Design and Friends' Portraits (1981, Italian Records) were praised in the legendary magazine Frigidaire by Ranxerox creator Stefano Tamburini…
Emptiness Spheres
*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* The legendary Sigillum S presents Emptiness Spheres, a work that explores the paradox of fullness within void. Active since 1985, the project of Paolo Bandera, Eraldo Bernocchi, and Mirko Spinazzola continues to push the boundaries of industrial music, here focusing on the sonic properties of absence.
Each track creates a sphere of emptiness that somehow contains infinite possibility. The project's decades of experience manifest in the precision with whic…
Teletyp
*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project continues its archaeology of forgotten technologies with Teletyp, named after the obsolete communication devices that preceded modern digital networks. The album transforms the mechanical rhythms and electronic interference of teletype machines into compositional elements, creating a sonic bridge between analog past and digital present.
Drago's approach treats obsolescence as opportunity, finding new music in abandoned …
Signore E Signori, Buonanotte...
*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* Derma bids farewell to consciousness with Signore E Signori, Buonanotte... ("Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Night..."), an album that functions as a lullaby for insomniacs and a wake-up call for dreamers. The title's formal politeness contrasts with the sonic terrorism within, where power electronics meet dark humor in a distinctly Italian approach to noise.
Each track reads like a segment from a late-night variety show broadcast from hell, where entertainmen…
Invest In The End Of The World
*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* Iugula-Thor delivers a prophetic statement with Invest In The End Of The World, recorded in March 2020 as global apocalypse seemed imminent. The two extended tracks, simply titled "Side A" and "Side B," unfold like sonic stock reports from civilization's final trading floor, with photos by Stefano Masselli captured at Milano's Macao providing visual context.
The project transforms eschatological anxiety into industrial currency, where noise becomes the on…
BBBB
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Four words become four incantations in BBBB, where Elena M. Rosa Lavita and Samuele Innocenti strip language and sound to their skeletal essence. "Bad," "Bare," "Black," "Bones" - each title a minimalist manifesto realized through bass, bow, objects, and processed voices, with additional production by Nàresh Ran and mastering by Attila Folklor.
Recorded at home in 2021, the collaboration captures the intimacy of isolation transformed into sonic ritual. Ro…
Pre-Monofonic Orchestra
*2025 stock. 250 copies limited edition* Maurizio Marsico presents Pre-Monofonic Orchestra, a paradoxical title that suggests both limitation and expansion. Working within self-imposed restrictions of monophonic synthesis, Marsico creates orchestral textures that shouldn't exist, building complex harmonies from single-voice sources through overdubbing and processing.
The album demonstrates how constraint breeds creativity, with each track exploring different strategies for creating polyphonic il…
Sama'a - Audition, Learning (3LP in Bundle)
Two of the most vital and urgent releases from Otoroku's remarkable 2025 output, available together at a special price.
[Ahmed] أحمد - "[Sama'a] (Audition)" (2LP) The quartet of Pat Thomas, Joel Grip, Antonin Gerbal, and Seymour Wright returns to Otoroku with their first ever studio recording. Tackling the material of Ahmed Abdul-Malik's legendary 1958 debut 'Jazz Sahara' as points of departure for their singular brand of group improvisation, '[Sama'a] (Audition)' was recorded at London's Fish F…
Anichy & Lyemn
Anichy & Lyemn reduce electronic sound to patient, glowing essentials: slow harmonic rhythm, canons, repetitive phrases and gently shifting layers, across two unreleased remix pieces that treat minimalism less as a genre tag than a way of feeling time stretch and fold.
Seti Non Tael Tene
Tip! *50 copies limited edition* Tocca Il Futuro is pleased and proud to announce “Seti non tael tene”, its tenth cassette release: a unique project by Maurizio Bianchi and Ramona Ponzini, blending industrial, concrete noise, and sound poetry. The unprecedented encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi for Tocca Il Futuro yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic …
The Freedom Suite, Novoa / Carter / Mela Trio, Vol. 2
Brooklyn pianist Eva Novoa joins saxophonist Daniel Carter and drummer Francisco Mela for the second volume of The Freedom Suite, a set of twelve pieces blending piano, Rhodes, harpsichord, gongs, and vocals with Carter's multi-reed brilliance and Mela's Cuban-inflected drumming, creating an urgent, intimate, and fluidly improvised dialogue of words, sound, and fearless imagination.
Live in Kallio
On Live in Kallio, Markus Holkko Quartet turns a Helsinki neighborhood into a pressure chamber of color and rhythm, blending proggy contours, retro-fusion heat and modern Nordic lyricism into long-form live explorations that feel both heady and immediate, cerebral yet unafraid to let the groove bite.
Live At Sogn Student Campus 1968
On Live At Sogn Student Campus 1968, Ditlef Eckhoff Quintet captures Oslo’s student underground at full boil: hard-bop heads splinter into early freebag squalls while Knut Riisnæs and Christian Reim drive the frontline with nervy, melodic fire, turning a long-lost campus tape into a vivid document of Nordic modern jazz in transition.
Jyväskylä Workshop Band 1970
A previously unissued post-bop document from 1970, Jyväskylä Workshop Band 1970 assembles American saxophonist Charlie Mariano, Norwegian bassist Arild Andersen and Finnish luminaries Heikki Sarmanto, Eero Koivistoinen, Paroni Paakkunainen, Seppo Ranniko, Pekka Pöyry, Edward Vesala and Matti Koskiala. Professionally captured in concert, the album delivers a vibrant set of groovy, exploratory and subtly exotic tunes that helped assert Finland’s place on the international jazz map.
Big Band Harriott
Big Band Harriott finds Michael Garrick scaling Joe Harriott’s music up to a roaring jazz orchestra, preserving the original’s sharp lines and Caribbean-inflected bite while opening them into rich new voicings, long arcs of tension and release, and solos that underline just how modern this repertoire still feels.
Down Another Road
Down Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days '69 catches Graham Collier’s sextet in full flight, turning a cornerstone studio album into a raw, expansive live ritual where luminous themes, tough grooves and free-leaning episodes collide, sketching British jazz at the cusp of its most exploratory moment.
Seven for Lee / Green and Orange Night Park
On Seven for Lee / Green and Orange Night Park, Kevin Figes & You Are Here treat the 7-inch as a miniature universe, squaring up to Lee Konitz and Keith Tippett with wiry lyricism, nervy swing and a slightly spectral warmth that makes homage feel like the start of another story rather than the end of one.
