Introducing: Ville Lähteenmäki Trio
“Ville Lähteenmäki Trio is a fresh jazz band formed in Trondheim 2022, featuring young Finnish and Norwegian musicians. Influenced by American jazz legends of the 60s and 70s, they blend energetic playing, bold melodies, and intense improvisations in the Dolphy-Murray-Mahall lineage”
Spiralis Aurea
Venturing into untapped realms of creative exploration, the Genoa born, Bologna based, guitarist and electroacoustic composer, Stefano Pilia, returns to Die Schachtel with “Spiralis Aurea”, a double LP of material that intertwines traces of sacred geometry, collective experience and elusive connections between nature and human kind.
Luz
Luz was produced in an unconventional way, with a sampler, MPC1000. Lorenzo Fringuello chose four musicians: Alessandro Bossi on bass, Daniele Cruccolini on drums, Alessandro De Florio on piano, Cesare Vincenti on trumpets. The four were left free to play on the basis of some musical cues and intuitions. Once the tracks were obtained, Fringuello sampled, cut, processed and recomposed them. The result is an album of seven tracks with a metropolitan funk-jazz sound.

Ontmoeting
* 400 copies on black vinyl. Comes with a download card * Ontmoeting (Encounter) from 1982 marks the beginning of the published audio works of Enno Velthuys. When Rob Smit of Kubus Kassettes first visited Enno to discuss the possibilities of releasing a cassette, he was open to the idea and gave Smit access to his tape archive of recorded tracks to cherry pick his favorite pieces. Initially Enno felt the selection didn’t do justice to his broader musical spectrum, that also included more rhythm …

The original tape from 1987 was the second tape Enno produced for Exart and it was his last work before he disappeared into obscurity. By this time, he became disillusioned by the cassette network and his mental condition sadly deteriorated…
Indo Jazz Fusions
"This is one of those occasions when we 'labellers of music' get stuck in our own glue. Consider the complication: A group called Indo Jazz Fusions containing Indian and British musicians, an American-born guest, and the result, a uniquely beautiful music which is patently not quite Indian, not quite jazz, not quite contemporary-American. I think the most accurate thing you can say is that it can only be played the way it is by men in contact with the jazz tradition.
The group is led, and all th…

The Heat Of The Hole / Temporary & Successive Stages
*In process of stocking* While “no description necessary” is the most fitting description for anything with the name Kakerlak on it, I am sensitive to the fact that there may be a new generation of harsh noise enthusiast emerging who have not been properly exposed, due to his relative elusiveness in recent years. Kakerlak is one of the elite HN projects active since the mid 2000s, and a defining artist of the genre. His sound wields the most powerful elements of mid 90’s Americanoise as broad br…
Sacred Violence Noise

The goal was basically to make noise as possible with just a few pieces of scrap metal and distortion pedals. For several years, it was treated like a real band with proper rehearsals, frequent live performances and a small tour in 2010. This CD compiles all p…
