Upcoming releases
The Tokyo Sessions
The Tokyo Sessions, the dazzling new album project by Dutch alt sax icon Benjamin Herman, oozes a deep affinity for the Land of the Rising Sun. In 2024 and 2025, Herman – along with bassist Thomas Pol and drummer and The Tokyo Sessions album producer Jimmi Jo Hueting – found themselves knee-deep in Tokyo’s hyper-eclectic musical underbelly – districts like Shimokitazawa and Koenji where underground scenes in the city continue to flourish. Minds were ceaselessly and consistently blown: noise art…
Devotional Fade
Matt Gold and Dustin Laurenzi present Devotional Fade, a collaborative record of electroacoustic rhythmic improvisations – equal parts meditation and dance, released on We Jazz Records, 24th April. Laurenzi and Gold, key collaborators in the Chicago creative scene and with genre spanning artists such as Bill Callahan and Makaya McCraven, step forward here with a major artistic statement, a product of extended improv sessions capturing the duo's hypnotic interplay. This is the sound of two of Chi…
Tru Folk
Footsteps, car horns, a drawer sliding shut. wind chimes, family voices, street corners. bus stops, parks, a dog barking, a fight on TV. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, Oakland, Keelung, San Gabriel Valley, South City.
It draws from a 15-year archive of field recordings that capture the ordinary music of lived life. Rather than aspiring to aesthetic refinement or spiritual escape, Tru Folk exists at street-level. It approaches sound as a vernacular practice that values what is common and hu…
Personal Rock
Twenty seven years ago, Jan Jelinek’s debut album Personal Rock was released by Source Records. Under the pseudonym Gramm, it brings together eight tracks that have not been available on vinyl since their original release. Faitiche is very glad to announce the re-release of the album: Personal Rock will appear as a double LP featuring the original cover artwork.What people wrote about Personal Rock two decades ago:“Situated somewhere between Jelinek’s much loved Loop-Finding Jazz Records, Farben…
Liaisons Dangereuses
*2026 much needed repress!* The only full-length from the West Germany trio known as Liaisons Dangereuses, this self-titled record (originally released via TIS records in 1981) is somewhat of a Holy Grail for fans of EBM and minimal synth. Thankfully, Soulsherrif Records has reissued this rarity! Comprised of members Beate Bartel, Chrislo Haas, and Krishna Goineau, Liaisons Dangereuses was only active for a couple of years. Beate and Chrislo played in numerous famous German electronic and goth …
I grow accustomed to the dark
*300 copies limited edition* The first resonant space Zosha Warpeha played in was the Emanuel Vigeland Museum in Oslo, Norway. Built as a mausoleum, its walls reach up into a gradual archway, creating an environment where sound expands and reverberates for twelve seconds before decaying into silence. Warpeha was greeted only by dim lights when she entered, and it wasn’t until she had spent several minutes listening that she was able to make out the frescoes that covered every inch of the room: g…
Induction / Mutation
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* At the end of 2024, Eric's purchase of an electric cooker with induction hobs was the catalyst. Between auscultations and improvisations, Eric offered Francisco his recordings of the object in his kitchen. In return, Francisco completely reinterpreted these recordings. From this dual level of listening, the elements created resonated in each artist's sound world.
Pieces created from shared original raw sound source materials.
Rampe Amalgam
On Rampe Amalgam, Markus Oehlen extends his studio day into the night, turning the same unruly humour and visual overload of his paintings into skewed, concrète‑spattered electronics: half hidden beat, half dust‑storm, all deliberately “wrong” and fully under control.
De Vrije Loop
On De Vrije Loop, Mix Monster Menno raids the entire Ultra Eczema archive, flipping decades of uncompromising noise, improv and oddball electronics into a late‑night, After‑Hours‑style turntablist trip that feels like the label’s unconscious talking in cuts and crackle.
Baudouin Oosterlynck & Bénédicte Davin
On their self‑titled LP, Baudouin Oosterlynck & Bénédicte Davin slip two late‑’70s vocal compositions into the present tense, turning Glasgow’s Tectonics stage into a resonant laboratory where Oosterlynck’s ultra‑precise scores and Davin’s live voice re‑sculpt silence, timbre and breath.
Actionreaction 2
On Actionreaction 2, Pippo Lionni, Sergio Corbini and Stefano Franceschini turn the studio into a single, improvising organism, where spackle knives and rollers become percussion, free‑jazz piano and sax tangle with electronics, and each canvas is written twice – in sound and in paint.
Whirpool Ocean
First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the “Sky Pilot” compilation released by Camera Obscura Records.
With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That’s where we at Lion Productions come in — together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records — to do our utmost to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to …
What If We Align Our Breath
Pioneering Swiss trombonist and composer Andreas Tschopp marries contemporary jazz with South African horns and homemade ocarinas, creating a record quite unlike anything you've heard before. "What if We Align Our Breath" disregards the curvature of borders, genre, and time itself - tugging a thread through the history of wind instrumentation with ghostly agility.
At the heart of the record lie spiralling, bonelike kudu (antelope) horns - instruments that have lent their stirring calls to indige…
Mijin
The title “Mijin” comes from a Japanese word meaning very fine particles. The album gathers particle-like sounds and lets them resonate in space. As I watch the movements that arise between them a balance gradually takes shape. Within those relationships and the quiet tension between them I explored how silence can resonate with sound.
The album begins with the most minimal piano chords then develops by reconstructing fragments of voice and percussion, Rhodes and synths along with traces of jazz…
The Beginning of Japanese Electroacoustic Music Vol.2
Big Tip! Born in the mid-1950s, the NHK Electronic Music Studio was a world-leading lab where Japan’s electronic music took shape. This album gathers works created there between 1968 and 1974—a vivid snapshot of chance operations, ring modulation, waveform experiments, broadcast collage, and intense hand-made tape craft.
Launched in 1993 in memory of the studio’s founding architect Hiroshi Shioya, our project treats these tapes as living works—not nostalgia. We re-check sources, rebuild the li…
The Beginning of Japanese Electroacoustic, Vol.16 - Electronic Convergence Oto no Hajimari wo Motomete
Tip! Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Maki Ishii (1936-2003), we present "Electronic Convergence," a collection of his pioneering electroacoustic works. These tracks represent a crucial era in the history of Japanese electronic music, primarily produced at the NHK Electronic Music Studio around the 1970s. Ishii’s unique fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and cutting-edge technology remains incredibly avant-garde even today. In February 2026, special memorial concerts will …
Electric Rebound
Fusing the freedom of jazz with the drive of progressive rock, this record delivers dynamic rhythms, soaring solos, and rich, textured soundscapes. From intricate instrumental passages to bold, high-voltage performances, this album captures the spirit of jazz rock and fusion at its finest.
II
"These are not musicians trading licks or showing off individual virtuosity - they are six voices engaged in genuine conversation, responding to each other with the kind of intuitive understanding that only comes from years of shared musical history. The music breathes, shifts, transforms. Moments of delicate interplay give way to passages of ferocious intensity; dense textures dissolve into sudden clarity. Nothing is predictable, yet everything feels inevitable." - Mark T., Third Millennium
These Rays of Sun which illuminated the Darkness of my Body and my Mind left Room for subjective Interpretations on the Exile that is Life
After months of careful excavation and meticulous restoration, dj echotree finds his way to ZitStill with a singular artefact. Delving into lost remnants of the spirit world, a gapless collage of found footage, spoken word and otherworldly jazz slowly emerged. A mute yet eloquent testimony, held together by instinct and the steady pulse of the MPC. Much remains to be uncovered about this entity and its teachings, rooted in beliefs that left no written trace. What is known is its devotion to the …
Post Coma
With their self-titled release on Titrate Records, Post Coma presents two twenty-minute passages shaped by a winter improvisation. What surfaces is a sense of detachment — at times even dissociation — treating the improvisation as a shared descent into the inner psyche. Listening as much to each other as to the remnants of their own decisions, the music emerges as a kind of cognitive experiment — a document of mutual attunement and the debris that gathers in its wake. The result lies suspended b…
