*2025 stock* “There have been quite a few conceptual records about the life cycle, however, ‘The Marylebone Greenwave’ stands out with its diversity and aim at the observations of the main protagonists. These are Eddie Stevens and Daniel Darriba who―as Post Office―have refined this musically complicated debut for years. Its imagination often takes your breath away.” ― Musicserver

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* “Are We Now Here or Nowhere? is an unconventional album by Czech standards, it mixes several musical forms and genres. The combination of various forms of jazz, hip hop, sampling, rap and vocal improvisations has the clear distinguishing marks of music by the duo Radimo and Hey!zeus ― their musical experiment works on several levels.” ― Musicserver

*2025 stock* Je Suis Karl is a German feature film directed by Christian Schwochow with a screenplay by Thomas Wendrich. After their acclaimed collaborative album "A Portrait Of John Doe" Tom Hodge & Floex renewed their musical companionship to create this soundtrack. The duo created more than an hour of music inspired by the thriller screenplay long before the movie was finished and inevitably many of these ideas and tracks were not included in the actual movie. This official soundtrack has giv…

We are pleased to announce the release of new live and studio recordings by Rudolf Eb.er, an Austrian/Swiss artist in the vein of Viennese Actionism. The recordings includes a live recording at Hokage, Osaka in December 2024 and studio recordings at Om Kult Osaka. This is a new masterpiece of Rudolf Eb.er, a very conceptual and precise composition of sustained sounds and creaking metal, moans and crows, concrete crushing noises, organs and field recordings. In order to materialize this music, th…

Perhaps you've chanced upon a Number Station, unwittingly as you scour the shortwave bands, and heard a cold, disconnected voice repeating simple commands endlessly into the ether. Or maybe you've scanned past a series of bleeps and pips, or pockets of noise, thinking nothing of them, as you seek a favoured music station. These are messages, to those who know how to receive them, and are able decode them in their various forms and configurations. Shropshire Number Stations - Recordings of Covert…

The second volume in a two-part collection of pirate radio adverts & idents, taken from recordings of London stations between 1984 & 1993. Many thanks to Wayne Anthony, Simon Reynolds, Stephen Hebditch & The Pirate Radio Archive.

*2025 stock* "Bertrand Gauguet's "Encerclements" is a profound sonic meditation on the interplay of sound, space, and abstraction. Encircling the listener with a delicate, almost hypnotic web of frequencies, the album merges ambient minimalism with glitch and noise, creating a kind of auditory labyrinth. (…) Perhaps it’s fitting that Gauguet embraces such a stripped-down approach. The album doesn’t demand attention; it slowly captivates, much like a distant memory trying to find its way back int…

"A note, a sound, an air, you can write them down and then leave them to be read or played; but you can also write nothing, just sit down, play your note, watch it flow and expand, add another to it and then another, and on and on. There may also be two of you: the second sits down, plays a note, watches it flow, adds another to it, and watches it drift and blend with the others. And then there can be three; the third arrives, sits down, plays a note, adds another, and another, and watches them …

A New Quartet Has Been Born from the Souls of Daniel Carter, Ayumi Ishito, George Draguns, and Ed Wilcox, and Their Debut Album Stands to Redefine Experimental Music Entirely

Brooklyn’s 577 Records is ecstatic to introduce you to a soaring trio making a name for itself in the global experimental community.  Their debut album, Siesta, delivers blissful, organized chaos bolstered by these artists' seemingly limitless imaginations.  Expect the unexpected.  Forged from a 2024 chance meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Wallace, Vazquez, and von Schultz project came together as quickly as it did naturally.  Their “big bang” moment of origination occurred at the suggest…

*2025 stock* Rodion-Ladislau Rosca spent his lifetime creating music that was ambitious, groundbreaking and innovative. He was a pioneering composer, a talented multi-instrumentalist and producer. He pushed musical boundaries to their limits. This he did as a solo artist and with his group Rodion G.A. Despite being popular in their native Romania, Rodion G.A. had to work under an oppressive Communist regime only releasing two tracks that appeared on a compilation album in 1981. Rodion, however…

*2025 stock* Lothar And The Hand People emerged as one of the earliest pioneers to mix electronics into rock, incorporating theremin and synthesizers into their sonic onslaught. Led by Lothar (a theremin) and his cast of digit possessing musicians wielding guitar, bass, drums, and one of the first (and largest) modular Moogs! This, their first ever live album, captures them with the passion and energy that can only come from a band’s final show before Lothar was forever unplugged.

These are players who will be familiar to those following the careers of Céu, Otto, Curumin, Tulipa Ruiz and the late, great Gal Costa.

When the trio of Sontag Shogun gathered at Laura Naukkarinen's home on the Finnish island of Kimitoön in the summer of 2019, they had not the slightest inkling that the world was about to change irretrievably with the onset of a long-predicted pandemic the following year. By the time their collaborative album, Valo Siroutuu ("The Light Scatters"), was released nearly two years later, the intimate and reflective nature of the work they had created together had taken on new meaning, resonating pow…

Tense from the first note and decisively uncompromising ‘GHSTING’ is the debut collaboration by Polish artists Alex Freiheit and Aleksandra Słyż, an incredibly unique piece of work that mixes fiction, spoken word poetry, theatrical antics, dense synthesis, acoustic ensemble and dark landscapes all set within the backdrop of a sinister Eastern Europe hotel. The resulting sound is menacing, humorous, harmonious, tumultuous, and at times quietly erotic. Alex Freiheit, a poet and vocalist, is widely…

At the beginning of 2024 I found myself on a trip up to North-West with my fellows Virginia and David (of Jooklo fame) in their legendary green Scudo van. I was ready for whatever adventure and trying to up-lift my friends from an uncomfortable situation they had at that time in a small town of the Ruhrgebiet named Moers, where they were temporarily based. The mood of the road that week was of rebellion, feeling of fixing injustice, and consequently the strenghtening of belief in underground bro…

The link between sound and memory is vivid in Heather Stebbins’ mind. On the Washington, DC-based composer and sound artist’s new album On Separation, echoes of past selves reverberate into the present, years dissolving into a gauzy translucence that hovers between the music’s genesis point and the listener’s ears. What began as a reintegration of dormant musical practices slowly shifted into a meditation on the nature of nostalgia itself, a prodding at how the brain relates to the pain and plea…

A listening zone, a space between spaces, an interspatial environment. Micro concrete sounds and digital processing. Sounds and project developed in 2024 during a residency at NUB Project Space, featuring the collaboration of Abo Abo and Demetrio Cecchitelli.

The two musicians have been collaborating for over ten years, often performing graphic scores composed by Olsen. In late autumn 2023, Noyes received two graphic scores from Olsen.
