Upcoming releases
Atlântico
577 Records announces the release of Atlântico, the new album by Portuguese vocalist and composer Manuel Linhares, arriving June 12, 2026. Shaped between New York and Porto, the record moves through experimental and contemporary currents, marking Linhares’ debut on the label. Atlântico carries the dim, melancholic glow of music born along the shores of the Atlantic. At times it cuts—restless, sharp, and full of forward motion; at others it drifts, steeped in a dense blue, where tones deepen and…
Ghosts Beneath The Brine
Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle concludes their trilogy on Important Records with an album that confronts the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems. From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's ris…
Searching
*2026 repress* Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascada …
Maja
Philatélie is thrilled to announce the release of Maja, the latest album from the experimental noise project Circle of Shit.
Valtakunta
Black Vinyl. Eero Koivistoinen is one of the foundational figures of Finnish jazz - a saxophonist, composer and arranger whose career spans six decades and whose influence on the Nordic scene is impossible to overstate. Valtakunta, originally released in 1967 on Otavan Kirjalliset Äänilevyt (a book publisher, of all places), was his very first album, and it has remained one of the most elusive and sought-after records in the Finnish discography ever since - available only through a scarce CD rei…
Love, Diskito
There is an abruptness to waking up to the sight of the other person’s back, a quiet violence hidden in the impression of intimacy, that’s leaving an aftertaste of emptiness. The feeling of losing oneself completely in a love that is given but never returned. Or the slower, less immediate one - the gradual disintegration of a world into which so much was once invested. Love, Diskito is like a worn out overdubbed cassette found in a drawer, with its underlying tracks flickering between contrastin…
The Ark
Time To Get On Board A New Black Universal Express. With each new recording Anthony Joseph presents an imaginative, personal vision of contemporary black culture, and The Ark is yet another compelling album by the award-winning Trinidadian poet and musician. This second part of a sequence of two albums launched with last year’s Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back, finds Joseph giving full vent to his desire to explore many thought-provoking themes. However, there is a specific thread running t…
Tasogare
A pinnacle of City Pop beloved around the world returns in a limited clear yellow vinyl edition. Featuring Makoto Matsushita’s refined arrangements and Mai Yamane’s commanding vocal performance, Tasogare stands as a legendary album that has also shaken the global music scene as a highly influential sampling source. Mai Yamane’s voice—powerful yet tinged with husky melancholy—perfectly captures the atmosphere of “tasogare-doki” (twilight), just as the title suggests. This timeless masterpiece env…
Skip Step Colgen
Beloved by fans under the nickname “Colgen”, jazz pianist Hiromasa Suzuki released this jazz-funk album in 1977 as part of the high-fidelity Toshiba Pro-Use Series. Now, this sought-after title is being pressed on transparent red vinyl for the first time ever. A favorite among Japanese jazz collectors, the album features a standout cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man,” and continues to gain renewed attention amid the global resurgence of fusion music. This is a must-have piece for fans of …
Stash
On Stash, the absolutely energy-drenched 2nd album from BCMC, the guitar and keys duo soars through waves of pleasant rhythmic turbulence on the way to show us just what they got: Needle down: increased activity dubs and baubles the sonic surface of BCMC’s Stash planet. Waves from Arabian, Indian, Flamenco and Soul groove in alliance under the expanse of an all-world flag, representing a borderless pursuit of cosmic music moments in the hand, of/by/for all the people of folk, rock and jazz, psyc…
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…
Big Beat From Badsville
Dangerous, bizarre, but most of all cool, The Cramps one again prove themselves as leaders in skull-fracturing rock ʼnʼ roll, delving even deeper into a wicked netherworld where few have dared to tread. They are the architects of a sound that has spawned an entire subversive subculture. Originally released in 1997, Big Beat From Badsville is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship. The four rare bonus tra…
In Transit
Dave Huismans (ex_libris, A Made Up Sound) presents In Transit, a self-titled LP of arresting downtempo vignettes, with origins dating back to over a decade ago. Renowned for some of this century’s most notorious rhythmic advances, the work of Dave Huismans (fka A Made Up Sound and 2562) continues to provide a blueprint for new generations of innovation-obsessives. After a long hiatus from releasing original material, he returned in 2025 with two beloved EP’s as ex_libris. Now he returns to Felt…

This ensemble is a pioneering Norwegian chamber group whose work on ECM and Hubro has redefined the boundaries between jazz, contemporary composition and folk music.

Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun
*350 copies limited edition* In spring 2025, Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri created the source material for their second album, Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun, during a three-day residency at Morphine Raum in Berlin. Functioning as both recording studio and performance venue, the space has no stage, with the audience gathered around the performers. Working within an open framework, the duo reshaped the music each evening while recording the performances live to multitrack. R…
Il Cacciatore Di Squali
Beat Records is proud to present the world premiere on CD and LP of the complete original motion picture soundtrack for the movie Il cacciatore di squali, directed in 1979 by Enzo G. Castellari.

Cara Maluco
Osees return with a four-track EP recorded last year in Tornio, TX. A couple fried trippers and couple tight dance punk numbers. Crazy face indeed.
Linear Contact
*10 copies limited edition* Made as an act of mindfulness, Linear Contact emerges as JCKSN’s debut foray into the genre of ‘harsh noise’. Across these four tracks, the erratic sound of household clatter paired with bit crushed field recordings, resides deep experimentation with moments of suspended ambient undertones. Each track is named after the materials recorded, and features a minimal background of field sounds drenched in harmonic attack.
