Pulsation
2025 much-needed repress. On May 27th 1983, drummer Masahiko Togashi and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi, two pivotal figures in the Japanese free jazz scene that had been working together since the 1960's, performed and record this unique set at Zojoji Hall in Tokyo. At the time, Japanese jazz musicians were trying to find their own voice, welcoming creative elements coming in from the USA and Europe. The two musicians were at the fore-front of this generation, with Takayanagi developing his own …
Ghost Parades
Tip! Guilherme Granado makes his first solo appearance on the Keroxen label under the guise of his Goat Unity project, the result of a plethora of collaborations with musician friends and foes. A São Paulo native, Guilherme has been quietly building a reputation for being the go-to guy for loop based beats and groovy basslines. He has played and recorded with Mauricio Takara in Hurtmold (4 albums) and he’s also part of São Paulo Underground (also with Takara and Rob Mazurek). He also performs, p…
Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…

Jasnovidec & Tarnovski
During hot and mid pandemic August 2021, duo of Daniel Jakeš and Michael Nechvátal, know under their stage moniker of Jasnovidec, went to Pardubice for artist residency at notorious location of Divadlo 29 (Theater 29), key Czech location for worldwide avant garde experimental music and theater. During four long days and nights, the duo went onto several intense recording sessions, on which both Jakeš and Nechvátal played solely just their modular synths setups. On a few of the occasions they wer…
Elliptical Gloom
I have two stories behind this beast of a record. The first one is of course the oldest type of story around, the stranger comes to town. The stranger in this story is Zach Rowden. He shows up in Bucharest, once or twice, with his band (or duo if you want) Tongue Depressor. On one of the occasions he meets one of the locals involved in Bucharest avantgard circuits, Laurenţiu Coţac. And they decide to play together. They jam their double and electric basses. And it gets recorded. 23 minutes long …
A Warning To The Curious
"With the Fortean transmitter channelling everything from Hitchcock, Ken Russell phantasm and The Legacy to the music of the Amicus and Tigon film studios, pastoral hallucinations and veiled break beats, Boscoe summons up a BBC workshop of quirky magik, Lovecraftian atavistic shadows, suspense and whispered apparitional calls and dialogue from the supernatural archives. If you dug last year’s Night Blooming Flowers album collaboration between Drew Mulholland and Garden Gate on the same label, th…
Edaphon
In London I found a perfume that smelled like a brownie made entirely out of wet soil. It was inedible, but still very “cake”. “It’s our signature scent”, said the shopkeeper. But I used to make that cake as a child, with my child hands. I looked at the square bottle and it was me. Chocolate-like, but of the earth. Under our balcony I used to make garden stew in a clay pot with mud and pebbles. I stepped frantically on puffball mushrooms under a tree to make the steam. It didn't matter that the …
Taking big bites of the khandas three cafes deep
DNS - taking big bites of the khandas three cafes deep is a live recording of improvisatory miniatures that mimic the form of collage. It is the first collaborative effort of Joseph Schlam and Alexander Cooper, made in the attic of a childhood home, and launches the label’s efforts. Drawing from the duo’s shared upbringing in North Carolina’s Piedmont region, the duo convened over the course of a week, the results of which prompted the creation of BLTC.
Live improvisation amplified in stereo via…
Lase
Lase is concentrated diffusions of lace, lattice, continuous threads and patterns. The edges of attention sharpen and soften. Harmonic materials derived from minimalism, as light or gas, emanate through abstracted spaces only resembling air.
“Imaging landing sites can also, in response to an indeterminate probable existent, simply come forward as a portion of sited awareness that remains diffuse, thus presenting areas of world without mimicking anything at all; to demonstrate this look off into …
Strings
"Strings leads once again to Omaha, to Cast Off Form, a commuter between acoustics and noise, who sniffed at "Ruach" and listened to "Resonance". Here he performs a happening with unrecognizable guitar, persistent tam-tam and motoric rattling effect, as a to-and-fro of wiry fluttering beats with the buzzing, purring motoric, which escalates into harsh noise as a wall of sound and in impulsive spurts and thus gains the upper hand. The second, again buzzing and humming, varies this with extreme ma…
If It Works, It’s Obsolete
*2025 stock* "Bong Watt is the sound for Oscar Reutersvärd’s drawings. Impossible shapes bent within the conscious as sonic earwigs burrow holes in the frontal lobe. Trying to think about “If It Works, It’s Obsolete” is beyond true abilities. There is no beginning, no destination to get to, only a micro-dose of sound chaos that becomes more familiar with each listen. With many listens in the tank, Walter Wright and Al Margolis (Elka Bong) with Mike Watt create the most subtly gentle entropy.
The…
III
*2025 stock* "Behind the acronym KBD, we find Michael Kimaid (drums and percussion), Gabriel Beam (modular synthesiser and live sampling) and Ryan Dohm (trumpet, sampler, and tapes). This is their third cassette for Eh? Records and the first one I hear. They recorded both sides in concert, the first at The Noisy Attic, Toledo, Ohio, on 27 December 2023 and the second at The Lightbox: Kalamazoo, Michigan, on 5 October 2023. From the information I understand, they play long-form improvisational so…
Añagazas, estratagemas, jugarretas y tretas
*2025 stock* "Ricardo Arias & Violeta Garcia Anagazas, Estatagemas, Jugarreta Y Tretas eh? MC Amazing duo set, recorded in Bogota, Colombia, in March 2020. Garcia plays cello and Arias plays bass balloon. Garcia’s cello playing has plenty of freak register exploration going on, and it’s almost shocking how much sound Arias is able to get from his inflated bladder. You’d think it could be a sort of gimmicky thing to do, but there’s some real majesty going on here. Sounds totally great and it’s a …
dustsceawung
"Pressure relief..... these are the sounds to listen with caution. dustsceawung is a well used pot on the stove with a locking lid. The broken gauge configured with a crack that looks suspiciously like a smile. A worn rubber gasket creating a seal far past it's expected life by the manufacturer. Still this is not enough. There is no measure to how much force lies within. A hiss escapes, a rattle or knocking comes and goes. The process continues with thoughts of the contents within. In this case …
Stephen Flinn / Bryan Eubanks
"Water ripples in outward patterns with the slightest disturbance. Peaceful space is found within the live performance of Stephen Flinn & Bryan Eubanks, and like glassy surfaced bodies of water, their sonic energy sends waves through the conscious. The balance rests on patience and understanding. Their instruments easily have the ability to crash the tranquil spirit, but their wisdom of how these sounds are unleashed is true testament to their alluring symphony. Stephen Flinn is the force behind…
White Wuff
"Public Eyesore has been releasing improvised and experimental music for over two decades and it never ceases to amaze me how interesting line ups Bryan who leads the label is coming up with. White Wuff is by any means no exception. When I read the liner notes I knew it is going to be a great musical adventure. Beautifully designed and released as a cd with 12 tracks that comprise different moods, travelling through genres. It's a pretty eclectic hybrid of various bits put into one mammoth of an…
Successful Utilization of Elements
"[...]Since each of the 19 pieces is a duo, Tungu gives his guests a chance to stretch out, often quietly, the combination often restrained yet mysterious. Starting out with experimental vocalist Sainko Namchylak, we hear her whispered voice surrounded by eerie electronics, subtle yet effective. It sounds like Tungu had each musician send him a short solo piece which he added to with acoustic bass, samples, field recordings or voice. Tungu obviously listened closely to add sounds which enhance w…
