Il Tempo Degli Assassini
Between the 60s and 80s, Albert Verrecchia played a major role in Italian pop music and in the European disco and Afro-cosmic scene, both under his own name and under the monikers Albert Weyman and Albert Prince. He was the keyboardist of legendary Italian-French r’n’b band I Pyranas, served as a session Hammondist for singer and TV star Raffaella Carrà, and produced the disco trio Belle Epoque as well as the debut album of singer-songwriter Alan Sorrenti. Among his many incarnations, in the ea…
Floreama
Following the work previously made on "Cocktail Bar" and "Erbe Selvatiche", Modern Sound Quartet release their third full-length "Floreama" in 1977, this time focusing their work around the world of flowers. The twelve tracks on this recording boast the highest form of Italian jazz-funk vibes, with some rock, disco and spacey moods thrown in for good measure. Each flower sets the track in a different mood and brings the listener in a different dimension, alternating upbeat funky moments to some …
Sirocco: A Compendium Of Experimental Music Made In Portugal Vol.2
As famous as the Northern Wind or Mistral, Sirocco is a Mediterranean wind that blows from the Sahara Desert, and is widely responsible for huge and cinematic sand storms, and also for a strange phenomenon called “blood rain”, due to the red sand that eventually mixes with the falling rain. I’ve also heard that “Life is in the blood“, so let the wind blow! Without any further delay, Wasser Bassin proudly presents: Rafael Toral, Han, Tózé Ferreira, The Beautiful Schizophonic, Discmen, Gala Drop…
Stencil
* 200 copies * Boche’s third album in 25 years, on solid vinyl, that unites outtakes from his beat-oriented early phase with ambient pieces, generated mainly from manipulated shortwave radio recordings. The album culminates in “Stolid Rounder”, one of his key tracks from the late 1980s: deeply pulsing audio feedbacks explore stereophonic space. The sleeve, with cover art by Marc Behrens, includes a laser cut stencil of the original Boche logo for your personal DIY Boche branding! Sweet!
Classical And Untitled Pieces
The Brighton native, but now a Porto resident, Christine Fowler presents her debut Lp in the newly founded Wasser Bassin Label. Recorded between 2007 and 2009, this is the 1st volume of C.Fowler ongoing project.
I See Wind, I Hear Voices
Originally released as privately pressed K7, Praga De Urubu Só Pega Em Cavalo Magro (Vulture’s Plague Only Catches a Thin Horse), is the result of a Tropa Macaca live performance in the emblematic Lisbon venue Lux, circa 2012. The long ecstatic piece, lasting over 21 minutes, builds up slowly – much like a vulture hovering patiently over its prey, waiting for the opportunity to claim its reward.
Any Way, Shape, or Form (4CD Box)
Tip! **Deluxe CD Box Set, over 4 hours of music, edition of 100 copies, includes signed hand numbered insert/certificate and enamel badge** Adam Pacione's finely crafted, deeply affecting drone work has found its place in the upper echelon of modern ambient artistry. Once heard, the gorgeous fluidity of his music is instantly recognizable. Now, an absolutely crucial addition to Pacione's relatively slim oeuvre is here, offering more than four hours of aural color and visual sound from a master o…

Titled ‘Oumuamua’ and second up in the Virtual Dreams series, the compilation is an in-depth artist focused release containing twelve thoughtfully selected tracks that touch on highlights from the duo’s discography as well as newly (re)discovered music drawn from a vast archive of unreleased pieces, sketches and extended jams recorded between 1993-1995.

Melodies Record Club 002: Ben UFO Selects
We’re glad to be back with the second instalment of our new series of DJ and Artist curated 12” mini compilations: Melodies Record Club. Ben UFO is up next for volume two, following Four Tet’s selection a few months back. Available early October in loud 12” format and digitally. Here we have two tracks which have been staples in Ben’s DJ sets at different times, but neither were originally produced with a club setting in mind, which is why they’ve never been available in this format before. O…

Expectancy
** 2LP. Limited Blue Vinyl edition ** A reputed classical violinist and music teacher on the one hand, a curious jazz cat on the other. A business man and control freak, but an artist and free spirit as well. Still, rather little is known about René Costy. Small wonder: the Belgian musician and composer was in many, if not all, respects a singular man. The lure of international show business was wasted on him and consequently, his name has remained a well-kept secret. But cream always rises to…
Musique Électronique Pour La Scène Et L'image 1976 - 1992
* Comes with OBI in a gatefold sleeve with printed innersleeves containing interview and linernotes * Described by Swiss press as an “inventive genius marked by total unpredictability,", Roger Baudet’s music has preserved its freshness and spontaneity. Provoking feelings of surprise, anxiety and subjugation, he ends up bewitching you completely through his bizarre non-conformity. The oddity of the sounds is a choice of heterogeneity: the works gathered, although coming from one person, have litt…
Clásicos Con Ritmo
* Edition of 300 numbered copies * Adarce proudly presents the reissue of ’Clásicos con Ritmo’ by Paco Ros. Originally released in 1978 on Discos Maller, still sounds as special and out of time as when it was released; a strange album that has become one of the most sought after jewels – and most hard to find – for lovers of Spanish Groove. ’Clásicos con Ritmo’ offers a mix of sounds that range from a kind of analog pre–Balearic to something similar to Library Music, passing through a slow caden…
Music For Airplanes - A collection of instrumental showpieces and scores for Egyptian films and TV-series (1973-1980)
* Gatefold cover with retro flipback feature. Printed on 300g natural uncoated paper. Contains extensive liner notes and photos. Detailed product photography follows upon the record's manufacturing * Those vaguely familiar with Egypt and its tumultuous yet triumphant modern history can probably associate it with two things: an incredibly rich musical heritage, and a penchant for revolt. In many ways, Egypt experienced a sonic revolution in the 1970s against a backdrop of President Sadat’s Infita…
Elektronik Türküler
* Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.* Technically Erkin Koray's 2nd LP after a collection of singles, this benchmark record from 1974 taught Istanbul’s musicians & pop fans how to put Turkish folk songs from the 17th century together with meaty, thundering guitar solos. With a crack bass player by his side (Ahmet Güvenç from Bunalim & Baris Manco’s Kurtalan Ekspres) & an electrified baglama in his hands, Erkin Koray lets his gloomy baritone voice float over wiry double-reed melodies, bulging r…
Εξισορροπιστές = Balancers

Athens-based Platonos has worked with the label previously to reissue her three solo LPs - Gallop, Sun Masks, and Lepidoptera - as well as to release three accompanying 12” EPs featuring modern remixes of her work. She is renowned for her forays into cutting-edge electronic experimentation as well as her striking, …
