Cantus for Winter in Six Parts
zakè’s deep attachment to the seasons of the Midwest, along with his intuitive approach to sound creation, has led to a deep and varied body of analog ambient drone recordings across the past ten years. Many of his albums take on the forms and colors of the space in which they are heard, but others convey something more fleeting and indefinable, far beyond the five senses. Cantus for Winter in Six Parts creates a space for comfort, contemplation, nostalgia, and longing; a moment of stillness tha…

Aúna
Distant voices whisper tales of journeys, of spaces that shift and align with every sense. A voyage unfolding in vast, dilated emptiness. Stories of entities learning to make kin, all of it happening on a microscopic scale. A shift in perspective reveals an immense expanse for little beings who ultimately, like a spiral, unite with the rest.
Strega III: Dianus Of Doorways
"New York’s Salvatore Mercatante arrives on LOTO with a record that is more menacing whisper than blood-curdling scream. ‘Stega III: Dianus Of Doorways’ is the final part of his trilogy based on the Italian dreamwalking spirits, the Benandanti. The after-dark adventures of a coven of young witches are drawn out in Salvatore’s growling synths, rattling drum patterns, purring basslines and shimmering modules. It’s proper moody gear, nocturnal creepers that’ll tap you on the shoulder in the dead of…

Keyboard Suite II
Suite II in the series expands upon their established pallet, integrating more field recordings and studio processing to their dulcet keyboard melodies. As a storm approaches from the distance - keyboards saturated by tape into distortion, bursts of noise from idiosyncratic electronics, aleatoric stuttering - MARV grants us an album’s worth of sonic sublimation.

Selected Ambient 1988—1989
Infinite Expanse continues its excavation of forgotten Czech sound archives with ‘Selected Ambient 1988–1989’ by Dia Archa – a project that briefly surfaced in the late 1980s and early 1990s before dissolving into obscurity. Formed by Michal Kořán and Filip Homola, Dia Archa emerged from the same circle as Richter Band, Jaroslav Kořán, and Modrá, tracing an overlooked lineage of post-industrial minimalism and domestic ambient experiment.
Working at the tail end of the socialist era with almost n…

Variierende Töne Vol.II - membranes + machines
*50 copies limited edition* Descending from the first volume, Variierende Töne vol.II retraces the essential threads of the label, this time through two parallel perspectives: membranes + machines. A continuity of path, where past and future blur into new readings, into sounds that move between repose and tension, between presence and absence.
The work is divided into two movements. Side A: an immersion in organic matter—field recordings, acoustic research, surfaces shaped by Hanna Maria & Matti…
Karakoz
Mai Mai Mai’s artistic path has never rested on laurels, it’s been a constant evolution, a profound and poetic research, a dark and dusty journey through awareness and collaborations where the heart of the process has always been about building connections and understanding people and their rituals. Mai Mai Mai’s new album ‘Karakoz’ was mostly recorded in Palestine (Ramallah and Bethlehem) in 2024 during an ongoing genocide and follows his acclaimed Southern Gothic double-album ‘Rimorso’. The al…
Tarantola
*300 copies limited edition* Hailing from Raw Culture, Anna Funk Damage returns with his third release on the Roman label, delivering a record as fierce as it is intimate. Tarantola was born out of a winter suspended between contrasting emotions – melancholy, anger, love, confusion – distilled into a sound that transforms personal fragility into collective energy. There’s no pursuit of perfection here, but rather an urgency running through the veins, taking shape across supersonic punk, wave, am…
