A long-lost jewel of European Afro-fusion, African Roll captures the explosive meeting of African polyrhythms, funk grooves, and 1970s Italian nightclub culture. Recorded in Turin by the multinational ensemble M’Bamina, the album blends Congolese roots, Afro-Latin colours, and raw dancefloor energy into a spontaneous, hybrid sound far ahead of its time. Originally released in limited quantities and overlooked, it has since become a sought-after collector’s classic. This official reissue restores…
*200 copies limited edition* "In a somewhat inconspicuous passage in Ursula K. Le Guin’s sci-fi classic The Dispossessed, its main character — the brilliant physicist Shevek — meets a composer who has translated Shevek’s revolutionary theories into music: ‘I’m writing a piece of chamber music. Thought I might call it The Simultaneity Principle. [Several] instruments each playing an independent cyclic theme; no melodic causality; the forward process entirely in the relationship of the parts. It m…

Xerrox Vol. 3 is the eighth solo studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto, released in 2015 as part of the ongoing Xerrox penthalogy, which began with Xerrox Vol. 1 (2007) and Xerrox Vol. 2 (2009).Inspired by formative influences such as Andrei Tarkovsky's 1971 film Solaris, La Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo by Juan Antonio Bardem, and Henri Colpi, Carsten Nicolai exchanges austerity for cinematographic lushness in the remarkably widescreen third volume of his Xerrox series.

*100 copies limited edition* Noise and Industrial Hardcore producer based in Turin. Owner of Bruit Sous Vide a label focused on extreme sounds. Rumor aimed at alienation and introspection.
Błoto has never cared much for dominant aesthetics. Instead, the band has consistently chosen paths less travelled, unexplored territories and uncharted routes where experimentation is not so much a conscious decision as a natural state of being. After years of a rather hermetic approach to recording their albums, the time for change has come. A trip to Bucharest and the opportunity to collaborate with the community of musicians associated with the underground label Future Nuggets, led by Ion D,…
*60 copies limited edition* SabaSaba return with ‘Detriti’, a companion piece to 2024’s dystopian ‘Unknown City’. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorotto (drums, percussion, effects, programming) are joined by collaborator Ambra Chiara Michelangeli on viola. The mysterious Torino ensemble trades in much of their digital sheen for a rollicking half-pensive, half-dream suspended soundtrack. An organic looseness permeates the short tracks creating ferti…
Nearly four decades after the fact, the full story of Coil's aborted commission for Clive Barker's Hellraiser can finally be heard - and it is every bit as extraordinary as the legend suggested. The Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser [expanded ritual], released by Mental Groove Records / Musique Pour La Danse, is the definitive edition of one of experimental music's most mythologised what-ifs: a lost soundtrack now restored, expanded, and assembled into a coherent and deeply unsettling whole.
The …
On Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping, Derek Jarman reads his only known work of narrative fiction: a chromatic, psychosexual road‑fable in which a blind young king and his valet traverse a mythical America that feels like the seedbed of Jarman’s later alchemical cinema.
Adjustable Face, the newly formed duo of Milan-based musicians Marco Paltrinieri (Canti Magnetici, Granny Records) and Matteo Pennesi (Babau, Artetetra, {scope}), explores the intersection of glitch, ambient, and computer music through different composition and production strategies.
Their debut album "Adjustable Phase", soon-to-be-released via Kohlhaas, was built through a process of editing, reassembling, and refining extended improvisation sessions recorded throughout 2024. Primarily based on…
Performed by Giovanni Di Domenico on a late autumn night in 2021 on the 2859-pipe organ (Giuseppe Zanin, 1970) at Chiesa di Stella Maris, Milano Marittima.
Giovanni Di Domenico: pipe organ, Chiesa di Stella Maris, Milano Marittima, Italy, November 26th, 2021.
"tri-n-os" —stemming from the ancient Greek word θρήνος (thrínos) meaning lament, wail, mourn and cognate to Sanskrit ध्रणति (dhráṇati, “to sound”), Latin drēnsō (to cry, to murmur), and Old English drān (drone)— unfolds as a deep delve into the realm of improvisation, drone and feedback. A sonic exploration of the lament as an open process: unruly, fragmented, and recursive —not simply as emotional expression, but as a state of being and a resonant system. Drawing on the principles of cyberneti…
On Cafe Mirage, Satoshi & Makoto let their trademark hardware lyricism bloom into a quietly cinematic suite: refined electronica, ambient haze and soft‑focus groove tracing the contours of an imaginary café suspended between daydream and reality.
*200 copies limited edition* 'Meditation Music Beyond The Unsleeping Psychopathic Mind' — a raw, deep free-jazz exploration where synth, voice, saxophone, and percussion dissolve into a single, unfiltered sound world. No boundaries, no polish — just presence and freedom for sonic expression. Music spontaneously composed (improvised) by all members of the group. Recorded at Threshold Studios in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Produced by our good friend Devin Brahja Waldman and wrapped in hypnotic cov…

*250 copies limited edition* I don’t know how to describe myself as a musician, but I like to explore how sound events can create spatial arrangements in the mind and trigger proprioception… Or is it movement? This album collects and refines around four years of experiments and statements. Early work responded directly to the visual cosmology of Philippe Shewchenko, who created the cover art. The album title describes my attempts to process disparate influences through semi-improvisational compo…
Sculptures is composer and pianist Derek Hunter Wilson’s third solo album, an ode to the ancient and contested shorelines of the Pacific Northwest. Deeply embedded in place, the six longform pieces that make up the album reflect the artist’s journey through grief (including losing his father) and the passage of time, each one built upon loops created from extended sessions with harpist Joshua Ward. Like the foggy, moss-encrusted locations that inspired the album, Sculptures has a timeless feel t…
*200 copies limited edition* The album was recorded in a small chapel of a monastery in the city center of Ghent. A chapel, by nature, is a place of contemplation and meditation, which inevitably influenced the music. Movements slow down, attention is sharpened and the overwhelming silence of the space becomes part of the music. Sound and silence are meticulously woven into each other. Even when the music grows at times dense and heavy, there is an ever-present sense of closeness and intimacy. T…
This is the first widely distributed release for Isabel Pine after a series of self released EP’s and singles on Bandcamp. She studied classical music on viola from the age of 3 through into college, where she was on a path to be a performer in a large ensemble, but eventually left after feeling frustrated and limited in a world that did not provide much of an outlet for individual creativity. But the doors of perception really opened when she moved to British Columbia and was exposed to the raw…
"This album is my response to my father's death. In mourning, my emotions gave way to a musical rendering of a threshold, the transition between life and death. The emergence of animals and environmental apparitions - the death knell that rang at the village church marking my father’s passing, the howling of foxes at night, the slithering of worms and the wails of peacocks - became omens, weaving the narrative of this record." - Ombrée
*50 copies limited edition* Somewhere at the edge of Waziers, Bruno Duplant listens deeply. His recordings collect the soft turbulence of vacant parcels of land, the drift of wires that hum, the weathering of surfaces that remember more than they reveal. In these materials he finds the beginnings of new fictions. Not narrative fictions, but the kind that arise when memory, chance, and close attention begin to overlap. Duplant describes himself as a discreet witness. The act of recording is not e…
*70 copies limited edition* Niagara return to Discrepant with Buxtehude, a new work bending the legacy of Dietrich Buxtehude into their own fractured, electro-organic language. Rather than a tribute, Buxtehude feels like an abstract dialogue with the Baroque composer’s sense of structure and flow—reimagined through Niagara’s raw synth work, off-grid rhythms and subtly warped melodic cycles. The trio let the music grow from the inside out.
There’s a clarity to Buxtehude that feels carved rather t…
‘Pungnyu’ is originally a tour album created for the first overseas tour of the band Woo-ryeok and the Pung-gak changi. In response to public requests citing that there are no officially available albums other than the music released on Bandcamp, the idea arose to produce a tour tape, which became the starting point for ‘Pungnyu.’
The recording was carried out in one take at 'Under,' a studio and workspace of Choi Tae-hyun, who is a member of the Kwang program and also a musician. Parts of membe…
E The Artist presents Six, his debut album for Nyahh Records; an incendiary opus of blown-out electronics and daring sonic abstractions, inspired by the seven seals, that posits E as a daring force within the Irish underground. Garnering a fierce reputation both in Ireland and abroad despite minimal recorded output, the artist known as E instead boasts his infamy on the live circuit. The Nigerian-born, Dublin-based musician impressed over the years with a slew of memorable performances inspired …

DJ Backstage has returned with a new album titled Consume Budots. If the initial output, New Metal Music Machine, showcased an interest in nu-metal, this time he shifts his focus to Budots, an electronic dance music and dance culture that originated in Davao, Philippines, known worldwide through DJ Love. Simply put, Budots is a blend of ultra-high elasticity 140 BPM pop edits, high-pitched siren sounds, and some Filipino rap. This music possesses an intensely stimulating energy that can be dange…

*100 copies limited edition* Trombe's fourth album, 'Bête Noire' (2026), is a tribute to all those wild boars that tear up the countryside, slaughter sheep, and are chased and killed by bizarrely clad figures in orange vests, armed with rifles... Beware of the line of cars parked in a herd along country roads, because they're there, prowling. Don't meet their gaze, or you'll be petrified... In fact, I know some people who had to change their mode of transport after a collision with the beast... …
In between being one of the most recorded studio drummers of all time, the beat-maestro extraordinaire Bernard Purdie squeezed in a few sessions of his own. Purdie Good! was recorded early in 1971 by legendary engineer and audio obsessive Rudy Van Gelder, at his bespoke studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and has all the quality hallmarks of that esteemed locale. Three Purdie-penned originals are balanced by three covers of hits-du-jour, utmost among them a blazing romp through James Brown’s…

On Tropos of Entropy, MNEM pushes Finnish experimental noise into a slow implosion: corroded tape loops, collapsing pressure systems and unstable, cosmic atmospheres sketch a world where structure erodes in real time yet focus never wavers.
