Love Beyond Love
Satatuhatta is proud to present the new full-length tape by The Day Of The Antler. The Day of the Antler has been called the best kept secret in the Finnish industrial underground, and those who have heard the small-run self-released tapes or the brilliant ’Jordrök’ CD on Heavy Meditation label can definitely confirm that. The sound palette of The Day Of The Antler has been varying from rural industrial to kosmische ambience.
This new release, ’Love Beyond Love’, presents the most noisy material…
Jordrök
Long-awaited reissue! A landmark in Finnish rural industrial sound, originally released by Heavy Meditation in 2021.
Feldgeister
Let me bring you love from the fields! Field recordings from half forsaken and decaying places with creaky broken objects, rubble and assorted scrap. Ancient battlefields - now forgotten - where the grain grows on the graves of nameless warriors (drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead, eh?). A mysterious light seen moving among the crops during a certain dog day night. And the magnetic fields that ensnare the sounds. The Knight of Pentacles and The Rye Wolf.

Remembering Well
*300 copies limited edition* Over the past several years, Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Max Klebanoff, best known as the drummer for critically lauded death metal outfit Tomb Mold, has slowly expanded the purview of his Death Kneel project.

Empty Vessels
A side project from North Sea Radio Orchestra members. A new duo with explosive creativity and an extraordinary musical level that explores the boundaries between Renaissance, classical, medieval, folk, and contemporary music. As usual for Craig Fortnam, best known as the mastermind behind the North Sea Radio Orchestra, and Laurent Valero, also a member of the ensemble on the occasion of the critically acclaimed tribute to the music of Robert Wyatt, Folly Bololey, issued by Dark Companion in 201…
Chansons D'automne
This intimate trio is the perfect vehicle for songs composed by John Greaves in English and in French- poems by by Verlaine, Apollinaire and more set to music by John in a powerful and very personal style, far from the tradition of French “chansonniers” but just as endearing. Elegant music to match the exigencies of the lyrics.
It consists of 15 tracks beautifully composed and arranged by John who articulates a piano that is sometimes melancholic and sometimes rock. His inimitable sense of poetr…
The Shunned Path
A work in six parts for contrabassoon + electronics, timpani + syncussion, and activated snare drum. The genesis of The Shunned Path began with a simple question: if one orchestral instrument could be freed from its traditional context and presented through the bespoke electronic array developed for Thomas Stone’s solo performances — projected at full scale through a massive sound system — which would it be? The answer was immediate: timpani. Returning to formative influences such as the Jerusal…
In Concerts
On In Concerts, Mujician - Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall, Paul Rogers and Tony Levin - are caught across 17 years of pure, pre‑verbal improvisation, four voices moving as one organism, forever searching and sometimes touching the truly uncanny.
Winter Spawning
Drones, hums and overheard sounds, bladders and strange vibrations, air currents, roars and ticking, friction and the thudding of a drum-beating fish, the wail of a dervish’s mixer, the manic circling of a dreamt-of tone by sonic lathe-workers…
Kammerkonzert
Squarepusher, presents Kammerkonzert, a riot of onyx-hard, hyperfast riffs, fiendish orchestral themes and handbrake turns through varieties of progressive, ambient, electronic and experimental music.
Sunset Overdrive
*200 copies limited edition* Deaf Star is a shoegaze / noise-pop / electronic project founded in San Francisco and now based in Barcelona, Spain. Rooted in melancholy-driven personal songwriting, the project drags those intimate impulses through blown-out textures, crude production, bass-heavy electronics, and walls of distortion, arriving at a sound that feels both fragile and annihilating.
Drawing from the jet-engine narcotic haze of Astrobrite, damaged intimacy of Sebadoh, nocturnal drift of …
Forest Fire
*200 copies limited edition* Heavy drone trio Petrozavodsk return with their vinyl debut, “Forest Fire”. The band deepens its ongoing collaboration with UK-based electronic producers, this time it’s Container, and Moa Pillar (who has mixed all of Petrozavodsk’s material to date). The LP is divided into 3 distinct movements: a relentless thrashing electroacoustic rave piece by Container, a dubbed-out drone-rock track, and a side-long drumless slow-motion guitar wash that nods to the genre’s touch…
Frizzell & Duque: A Sorrow Unrequited
*200 copies limited edition* "A Sorrow Unrequited is a short but gorgeous collaboration between Frizzell & Duque, comprised of five minimalist explorations of high-fidelity sound. Each piece begins with the statement of a simple melody, which repeats throughout as additional layers accumulate, slowly teasing out new melodies. Rather than linger in the imperfections of media, as so many artists who work with repetition tend to do, instead the duo pursue an attention to fidelity that forces them t…

Ngoma Tanzania
Joyful rug-cutters and sweet soul-uplifters from the town of Morogoro, in early-1960s Tanzania: muziki wa dansi, inspired by Cuban 78s, and dance crazes like the twist and cha cha cha, but making them its own. Here is the cream of over a hundred recordings by Salum, mostly for Mzuri Records of Kenya; pretty much lost till now. In an old-school tip-on cover, with lyrics in Swahili and English on the inner sleeve. Lovely stuff.
Eritrea's Guitar Pioneer
Drawn from his six monumental singles for the Philips, Amha and Yared labels between 1970-73, revolutionising traditional Eritrean music via the innovations of amplified kirar, electric guitar and horns. Thick, deep declarations and considerations of love over a mixture of sombre and joyous tunes (with the hand-clapped beat often shifting into double-time near the end). Co-released with Mitmitta Musika in Addis Ababa; handsomely presented in a tip-on sleeve, with extensive liner notes, translati…
Young Blood
Mysterious, primitive lo-fi ‘pop’ from Swedish enigma Mind Control Hands - was anyone ever meant to hear this?
Something of a needle in a haystack. The depths of the internet are flooded with snippets of information about enigmatic CDrs, often no more than a crusty JPG and a bit of text, if you’re really lucky a single track to listen to. The vast majority are of no interest, but perseverance pays off. Mind Control Hands, originally birthed in the endless sprawl of CD-baby era early 00s micro…
