Since the release of Ammar 808's debut »Maghreb United«(2018) – a rumbling pan-North African electronic classic – the Tunisian producer has been in the vanguard of artists navigating the intersection of traditional and contemporary sonics. His deep-rooted, room-shaking 3rd album »Club Tounsi« isn’t just a powerful statement of his Tunisian identity. It’s also a joyous celebration of the dancefloor, blending Mezoued rhythms and instrumentation with an impossibly infectious blast of bass-heavy fut…

Improvised live in the studio, with each member contributing ideas and interpretive strategies, the result is a masterclass in spontaneous, collective composition. Daring, imaginative, eclectic and always deeply groovy, Una Oportunidad más de tr…

Huayno has its roots in the Andes during the colonial era, when indigenous peoples began to blend their music with influences brought by European settlers. During this process the Spanish guitar naturally became very prevalent, incorporating the tunings, finger-style and rhythms of the traditional Andean harp along with it. The late Alberto Juscamaita Gastelú, known as Raktako, was a renowned guitarist, composer and mentor to generations of guitarists from his home in Ayacucho, southern Peruvian…

The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …

"One of Shorter's best-selling albums from the '70s was Native Dancer, a Brazilian-oriented jazz-fusion masterpiece that boasts Herbie Hancock on acoustic piano and electric keyboards, and employs such Brazilian talent as singer Milton Nascimento (a superstar in Brazil) and percussionist Airto Moreira. Everything on this melodic, consistently lyrical effort is a jewel, and that includes Hancock's "Joanna's Theme," as well as pieces by Nascimento ("From the Lonely Afternoons" and "Ponta de Areia"…

"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis America’s darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7th—and which are still raging—are, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the city’s living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of w…

Originally released on Beta-lactam Ring as just 25 CDR copies, this mutated voice recording nightmare has been reassembled and remastered by Colin Potter. Possibly the strangest Nurse release of all time.

Zach Rowden presents Cyclical Tombeau on Second Sleep, a haunting exploration of repetitive structures and drone that transforms the double bass into an otherworldly sound-making device.

Experimental musicians Elisha Morningstar and Mercury Hall announce the release of "Contropiano," an immersive 30-minute cassette that explores the opaque intersection between memory, machinery, and the sonic residue of everyday life. This unique collaboration emerged from two deeply personal origin stories that inform each artist's approach to sound. For Elisha Morningstar, the inspiration to play guitar came unexpectedly during an experimental film screening, where massive film reels spun and …

*100 copies limited edition* Almost An Island marks the first collaboration between musician and producer Kenneth James Gibson and the husband-and-wife duo James and Cynthia Bernard. Gibson's career is a mosaic of sounds and ideas—so varied it might seem like the work of several artists, yet unmistakably his.

"To whom does a record belong, once it’s been released, once it's released and lives its own life, outside the thoughts of those who composed it? Does it not also belong to those who listen to it and find in it realities, unsuspected joys and desires at the time of its creation? For as long as I've known him, Michel Wisniewski has been exploring, under the pseudonym Supermalprodelica, the effects that the music of others, which he listens to with a sensitive ear, produces on him. And he has the …

2025 stock Diseño Corbusier is the avant-garde electronics duo of Javier G. Marín and Ani Zinc, formed in Granada, Spain 1981. Like Sheffield’s relation to London during the punk explosion in the UK, Granada developed an experimental music scene 400 kilometers south of Madrid. As a child, there were no records in Ani’s house, so she grew up listening to the radio and was hypnotized after hearing ‘Remember Love’, by Yoko Ono. While attending university in Granada she responded to an ad in a music…

Parade Ground march back to Dark Entries with The Hidden Side, a compilation of B-sides and unreleased material. Brothers Jean-Marc and Pierre Pauly started Parade Ground in Brussels in 1981. Their Dada-laced brand of post-punk fuses propulsive drum machines and icy synths with skeletal guitar riffs and Jean-Marc’s distinct and powerful voice, pioneering the subgenre of emotional body music. The brothers met Daniel B. and Patrick Codenys of Front 242 in 1982, marking the beginning of an enduring…

Although rsn is basically the solo project of Thomas Rosen, collaboration is crucial for his work, so here he joins forces with Philipp Maike aka Nagen.

*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Voukolika Tragoudia (The Shepherd's Songs) is a collection of tracks that tries to imitate in fragments of extreme sound the wild and often primitive life on the mountains and plains of Creta.

*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* In 2024, one of Augsburg's most impressive industrial monuments will be 70 years old. Since 1954, the large disk-type gas holder of the gasworks in the Oberhausen district has dominated the Augsburg skyline.

To mark its anniversary, we would like to bring its very special atmos…

*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Frans de Waard and Sindre Bjerga are well-known for conjuring intensely captivating ambient dronescapes from rather lo-fi sources, both as solo artists and in their duo Tech Riders. The trio line-up heard on this album, however, came about when Sindre Bjerga and Fabio Orsi were working together for a week as part of the Brombron residency at Geluidwerkplaats Extrapool in Nijmegen. During that time, they had an impromptu meeting with Frans de Waard on 10 O…

In 1969 Duo Ouro Negro went on tour to the United States. Their experience there was decisive for what we would come to know three years later. “Don't forget your blackground” Raul Indipwo would exclaim in 1972, the voice of ‘Blackground’, the Angolan band's landmark album. Awakened to the activism of Black Power, attentive to the jazz that was being created on American soil, combined with an interest in the independence movements of the African colonies, what was then the most international of …
