Sitting in a darkened room in Dalston, London… the music pushes across a very nicely tuned sound system, (a la Cafe Oto). The crowd is captivated by this multi-instrumentalist maestro Jimi Tenor. He plays smoky sax, juxtaposes it with some crazy Moog, all the while underlaid by a funky electronic looping groove. It's a conversation piece! At the end, Jimi says "I'm not quite sure what to do with this track, or what to call it"…. In a moment of 'bravado' one shouts out in reply "Release Me!", the…

Ramiro Rodriguez—Son Bayoú accordionist–shouted into the microphone: "We started at the pulga and now we're here!" The crowd erupted. He adjusted his red Hohner accordion to lead his band into a blistering rendition of Andres Landero's "La Pava Congona." "Here" was the Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston: the Bayou City's preeminent modern arts museum which invited the group to perform their barrio cumbia inside their hallowed spaces. When I first met them, formerly as Reyno Sabanero, they had i…

"First visit to the audio equivalent of a graphic novel. Follow A Very Heavy Person is more than an album—it is an experience, an inquiry, an adventure into the unknown, defying easy categorization and existing in the liminal space between music, poetry, and philosophy. Armaroli and his quintet have crafted something truly singular—a journey through sound that is both timeless and profoundly rooted in the ephemeral beauty of the present moment." - Mark Corroto

Eero Koivistoinen Quartet's rare live album from 1978 reissued for the first time in nearly half a century via Svart Records.

Paul Wallfisch has played in bands like Firewater and Little Annie, while Dana Schechter has logged time with American Music Club, Angels of Light and her own Insect Ark, among others. They’ve been friends since meeting in New York in the 1990s. Years later they forged a stronger connection as bandmates in Botanica and palying with Swans. Over the years Paul Wallfisch has been a prolific composer for film and TV, including Dummy, with Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich (which the musician also appe…

In times when arbitrariness, absolutist madness and the pressure to reject each other are boiled up into some kind of new normality, it sometimes feels as if you are doomed to drown in your sea of sorrows. Until you manage to resist the maelstrom, once again. To focus on the good and the beautiful, and to nurture it stout-heartedly. Nobody said, it’s gonna be easy. On his fifth album, Bruch seems to draw an analogy between the sea and life with his choice of title. The sea itself has never been …

One of the most important 'lost' music recordings out there, this is the original version of the classicl album - recorded in April 1966 - that Andy Warhol eventually presented to Columbia Records, who chose to reject the demos. The track order is different from the release, and the band didn't record "Sunday Morning" and "There She Goes" until later, so those songs aren't included here. Some tracks sound the same as the released tracks, and others are markedly different, and even a little rawer…

When a limited edition 45 single landed on the desk of Jazz Room Head Honcho Paul Murphy he contacted the guys straight away. "Do you want a 45 piece of wax released on Jazz Room Records?" Bells were ringing! The A Side is a Latin Afrosound version of the Sun Ra Classic "Watusa". Featuring members of the Los Angleles based Afro Latin Beat Collective "Jungle Fire". You might have noticed this getting quite a few spins on the Gilles Peterson show on BBC 6 Music. The B Side is a funky version of th…

A landmark archival release documenting Jean-Claude Éloy’s radical 20th-century innovations. This collection brings together three seminal works showcasing the French composer’s dual mastery of concert hall abstraction, cinematic narrative and GRM-era experimentation.

A long-awaited reissue of one of the most compelling scores in 1970s French cinema. Originally released in 1973, L'héritier reveals Michel Colombier at his most cinematic and experimental—blending downtempo funk, psych-prog atmospheres, and early electronic abstraction into a rich, dramatic soundworld. Now officially reissued for the first time by Transversales Disques, this deluxe 2025 edition restores the original recordings and expands the experience with five previously unreleased tracks fro…

A captivating compilation of eight tracks by Drissi El-Abbassi, Rai Sidi Bel Abbes – Volume 2 explores the fusion of traditional Raï music with modern electronic elements, highlighting El-Abbassi's soft vocal style and innovative approach to the genre's evolution

Two masters of free improvisation—Evan Parker and Jean-Marc Foussat—meet live in Insolence. Soprano sax and electronics intertwine in deep, lyrical tension. A vital transgenerational document.

A delirious plunge into absurdist tape collages and haunted electronics, this long-buried artifact resurfaces with eerie timeliness—a disorienting mix of degraded loops, dark humor, and fractured noise. A grotesque masterpiece of West Coast sonic dadaism.

Unearthed mid-’90s tape/noise experimentations by Stuart Dennison (Ramleh, Skullflower). Recorded in solitude with loops, delay, and whispers, Autonomous Rex is a raw dispatch from the uncompromising fringes of UK underground sound.

Zulu Guitar's Pioneering Tricksters, but for this compilation of rescued songs masterfully restored from rare 78 rpm shellacs, few could imagine the diversely beautiful roots of Zulu Guitar Music emerging during the period 1950 – 1965. Story-tellers and master musicians appropriate outlaw personae, re-purpose country and western, Hawaiian and other styles, to stretch and challenge our notion of “the Zulu guitar”. Twenty-five songs (18 on vinyl) plunge us into the depths of the migrant experience…

Ground-breaking afro-rock and jazz with Memphis soul roots on this lost 1972 gem.

To launch the new Lunar Module imprint from Castles In Space, Gordon Chapman-Fox presents us with an album of cinematic ambient music, stepping away from his usual analogue synthesizer tones. “I wanted to stretch my legs and create something more long form, organic and immersive than my Warrington-Runcorn persona” says Gordon. “I hope the title speaks for itself. This is ambient music, but its not background music. This is very much for the foreground. To be played loudly and to lose yourself in…

Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…

Evis Sammoutis’ music is a dynamic fusion of physicality, virtuosity, and cultural depth. Drawing on his Cypriot roots and diverse training, his compositions explore tactile soundscapes, poetic contrasts, and neurological aesthetics. Works like Echopraxia and In Darkness challenge conventions of imitation and vulnerability, while Rhymes and Engravings evoke intricate structures and materiality. Inspired by literature, visual art, and the expressive potential of sound, Sammoutis crafts music that…

Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist James Yorkston, English guitarist David A. Jaycock, and Swedish saxophonist Lina Langendorf unite in a collaborative album that seamlessly weaves together elements of folk, jazz, and atmospheric soundscapes. This project, born from longstanding friendships and mutual musical admiration, offers a richly textured journey—both intimate and expansive. The album's genesis lies in Yorkston's enduring partnership with Jaycock, dating back to their co…

Tip! Following the much-lauded trio of meditations, from Woo, Davis Galvin and Graintable, that launched the series, "Cosmos" continues the label's gentle exploration of music to accompany moments of nurture and patience. This composition from E Ruscha V, once again mirrors the quiet and satisfying tending of the season ahead, creating space for contemplation and the witnessing of gradual transformation. A multi-disciplinary artist rooted in Los Angeles, Ruscha approaches instruments as living e…

Portland-based ambient architect and far afield sound technician Graintable, aka James Cooke returns with his debut outing on Music To Watch Seeds Grow By and his fourth in the R$N stable; 'Blue Flax'. Following his acclaimed and sold out cassette releases 'Herons', 'Universal Ash' and ‘The Rain In The Trees’ on Ransom Note Records, this new collection sees Cooke delving deeper into the intersection of natural processes and liminal organic electronics. 'Blue Flax', the resilient flowering plant …

In “Tom’s House”, a new audio-drama from artist and writer Jacob Dwyer, we listen to the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief. "Hello? Hello?" echo…

"“I was admitted to Son Llàtzer Hospital in Mallorca on October 1, 2024, following a psychotic shock”. This could well have been the opening sentence of a confessional novel but it’s not. It’s the first line of an email, which landed in my mailbox seemingly out of nowhere. The words were written by Baptiste Martin, the composer behind Les Halles. In his letter, sent as a pdf document, Baptiste offered his friends a concise but striking report on his whereabouts from the past months. In brief, Ba…

Tip! *2025 stock* Three-Way Association by Selfish Limbs is a four-track concept album of ambient music, eclectic words, and minimalistic graphic artwork. As another addition to the Adventurous Music Books Series, it starts with the sound that is of spherical crackles and ethereal voices which sometimes seem like coming from Nordic folk music. In addition, choral soundscapes and soft drone-like atmospheres alternate, and dark horizons meet soothing bass. While listening to this, the clear writte…

*2025 stock* The black door gives access to alternative versions of similar realities. What is real? What is it to be here? What is? Just like the material under your feet feels like the ground even though you may be on the top floor of a building, so is the vision of things around us determined by consciousness and limitations of the mind. Where and when is the start of a nebula and when does it end? Can you hold a plume of smoke in your hands or knock down the sound of the rain? The collection…

*2025 stock* 'Ibidem' is a collaborative project between experimental composer Iván Muela and visual artist Meneh Peh. It is presented as a 3-hour drone ambient album accompanied by a book of analog photo collages inspired by the music and the creative process behind it. “I’ve always been fascinated by the movement embedded in apparent stillness, like when you focus your attention on the surface of a lake and start noticing the ever-evolving patterns and the chaos happening in the water. Each tr…

*2025 stock* Relatives Schoensein is a photo series by the German artist Signalstoerung, in which he explores the beauty of things, that are maybe not seen as beautiful by the majority of people. Part 2 of this series examines the philosophical question: Advertisement - information or manipulation? Advertisement is a form of communication that aims to inform and persuade people to buy a product or service. The main purpose of advertisements is to generate profits for businesses and increase thei…

Amongst all the Italian encounters Bamboo Shows made over the years, here come Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico under their moniker Ninja Exotic Machine. The Turinese duo plays a key role in the development of sunitty, both with their different musical projects and the vanguard leftfield bass label Pho Bho Records they run with Tundra & Federico Spini. With their ‘Mana Verde’ LP, Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico recount the fanciful ‘legend of the Mana Verde Forest’, thus depicting their porous visi…

'Imago Mutatis & Other Tales’ brings together two different works developed by Italian-born, Brussels-based producer Reptilian Expo, between 2022 and 2023. The A-Side, Imago Mutatis, is a soundtrack composed for the live show ‘Imago Mutatis’, a performance stirring together music, dance, costumes and scenography; a fantastic tale about spiritual transformation, magical objects and enchanted places.

Idylla is the third of part of a trilogy of nature-based recordings that Polish composer Michał Jacaszek has recorded for Touch. The first, Catalogue des Arbres (Touch TO:94), was a collaboration with Kwartludium that celebrated the earlier inspiration of French composer Olivier Messiaen's Catalogue des Oiseaux (1958). Gardenia (Touch TO:117) was a response to a field recording workshop organised by Francisco Lopez in Limpopo province in South Africa, on the border with Botswana, the participant…

*100 copies limited edition* "The human obsession with exploring; risking life — whether to establish a name, expand human knowledge, or simply discover what’s over the horizon. A theme repeated by civilisation over thousands of years. Our planet-wide presence is evidence of our compulsion to explore and fulfil our desire to create paths. It will continue for as long as we remain curious." zYklen (Neotantra, Mare Nostrum, Chitra Records) is Simon Ferris, a musician, composer and synthesist, base…

*150 copies limited edition* 'Tarnished Tapes and Saturated Signals' continues the sonic journey I explored in my last album, Sacred Tonalities (Past Inside The Present, 2023). Now, having broken free from the prison of time, I can freely revisit its very beginnings. This is reflected not only in my production process, where I carefully sculpted each sound within a heavily layered texture, lo-fi aesthetic, and analogue recording, but also in the central idea behind each piece. To me, this music …

The heart sits and takes in all wakes of the universe. A blessing to discover sound and how it enters the body and is shared to all. I feel the sound wraps in and out of my heart and pours through the saxophone. Searching, discovering the Creator. I pray this music reaches into your heart, goes all the way to the deepest place and blossoms up the most beautiful gardens of joy and love, curiosity. I am forever grateful to meet souls such as Lex, Miguel, and Caroline. Through these recordings I po…

In the Minoan culture of Crete, the sea was seen as a transitional zone to reach the afterlife. The sun reflected on the water took on the features of a path to follow in order to be reborn into a new life. Angeli crosses this place of passage, leaving behind granite for a sweeping lava-like transformation. While Lema passes through the concept of loss, within the space of his guitar-orchestra, the Sardinian musician celebrates an album that embraces both tradition and musical countercultures, c…

In his album Tarió, Manuel Contreras Vázquez presents a profound engagement with Latin American history, sound exploration, and experimental notation. Through intricate timbral textures and an architectural approach to composition, his works navigate themes of memory, resistance, and human experience. From intimate solo pieces to collective vocal and instrumental forces, Contreras Vázquez challenges conventional musical boundaries, blending silence, phonetics, and social narratives. This album o…

This compelling album presents works by Israeli composer Chaya Czernowin, exploring the fragile balance between destruction and communication, control and surrender. Seltene Erde transforms the double bass and ensemble into a shifting landscape of illusion and resonance, evoking the invisible forces shaping our world. Atara, born from the isolation of 2020, is a powerful orchestral lament, where vast sonic masses collide with the delicate voices of two singers, lost yet luminous. Through these w…
