2025 stock Even without an album out: they have already set the world on fire freaking out audiences all over Europe on their 2019 summer festival tour including Sines in Portugal, WOMAD in UK, Roskilde and WOMEX in Tampere. This young allstar band from Ghana brims with gifted musicians and energy on stage. The 8 piece collective is made up of a young generation of awarded musicians who have backed anyone in Ghana from Azonto sensation Sarkodie to Nigerian superstar 2 Face Idibia, but their pass…
2025 stock Los Angeles-based duo Sana Shenai began in 2009 when their Dublab radio-affiliated ambient quintet Golden Hits went on hiatus. Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, The Postal Service) and Mitchell Brown (LAFMS, Sun Araw, Sissy Spacek) have since amassed a mountain of material culled from 10 years of home recording. In late 2018 the 5-song digital EP "Forewarm" was released by Leaving Records, which now joins seven other pieces on this physical debut double LP for Les Albums Claus, "Warm Forever".…
Polish graphic artist and experimental producer Aleksandra Grünholz, aka We Will Fail, has definitively left behind the disturbing minimal techno visions of the recent past to embrace more hybrid musical forms. While the influence of minimal techno is evident to some extent, references to club culture are often dampened by disturbing post-industrial inserts, evident dub roots, and even a vision that borders on the most imaginative classical-contemporary culture.
Next to the entire All is an astonishing work by Danish experimental sound quartet We like We, consisting of Katrine Grarup Elbo (violin), Josefine Opsahl (cello), Sara Nigard Rosendal (percussion) and Katinka Fogh Vindelev (voice). Although classically trained, all four share a desire for exploring, experimenting and shaping a sound of their own, something which is truly present on this album. Both instrumentation and composition feel glued together with an abundant sense of playfulness and vis…
Vert is back. And it’s as if his last album for sonig just came out. The eleven songs on The Days Within don’t have much to do with ragtime, but they have plenty to do with songwriting. A kind of songwriting that is so typical of Vert, who has meanwhile relocated to Berlin, that it can hardly be mistaken for anyone else’s. The tracks on The Days Within all have such a well-defined profile that it is difficult to describe them in terms of one specific style. Butler doesn’t like to use the same id…
M_Sessions is offering a contemporary version of Mania D., Malaria and Matador’s music for the 40th anniversary plus the rare originals. Bringing the past into the now and into the future. Monika Werkstatt seemed the perfect choice for new interpretations. Founded in 2015, comprising female electronic musicians and producers from the entourage of Monika Enterprise and Moabit Musik. The loose collective played dozens of improvised concerts around Europe and released a studio album and live record…
2025 Stock. A lot has changed in the way musicians, record labels and publishing houses perceive themselves since record company revenues began their steady decline. With every bankruptcy filed by a label, record shop, distribution company or music magazine comes yet another loss of direction. Music publishers play a special role in this ever-changing landscape—handling rights rather than selling records, positioning themselves at the center of discussions about copyright in the digital age.

2025 Stock. In 2007, Tadd Mullinix and Daniel Meteo locked themselves in a Berlin studio for one intense week with a singular vision: to channel the spirit of mid-80s Jamaican digital dub—the raw, revolutionary sound pioneered by Prince Jammy's legendary "Sleng Teng"—through their own experimental lens. The result was 15 tracks of deep, hypnotic dub, combining Mullinix's handcrafted digital rhythms with Meteo's immersive studio treatments. Guitars, organs, keys, and off-beats dissolve into casca…
Six compositions for chamber ensembles performed the Ensemble 2e2m by Giuliano D’Angiolini, ethnomusicologist and composer who "is a positively unique figure in contemporary music. His profound, well-conceived and stubborn take on music has led him to what he calls »impersonal« music — music that has fully abandoned the idea of development or form. Through successive states of presentation, which aim to elucidate, d’Angiolini wanted to leave place in sound so that music could become less volunt…
