Mirages II
AIR 's Jean-Benoît Dunckel & Jonathan Fitoussi have joined forces to release Mirages II, a sonic exploration of analogue synthesis, moving from the minimal to the cinematic. "After their first album as a duo, released in 2019, JB & Jonathan have gone back together to build another work, in which their two personalities unfold even more surreptitiously, always very attentive to each other. At their heart, an electronic spirit, anchored to a very mineral rhythm. There are glimpses and echoes of th…
UPIC Diffusion Session #23
*300 copies limited edition* Russell Haswell and Florian Hecker have both a long history with Mego/Editions Mego. Individual releases have peppered the Mego catalogue since Haswell’s Live Salvage 1997->2000 cd release (MEGO 012) in 2001 and the debut Hecker release IT ISO161975 (MEGO 014) in 1998. The individual exploration of sonic phenomena by these two practitioners has resulted in both being highly regarded for their uncompromising approach to sound as matter. Russell Haswell and Florian Hec…
Maroon
*2024 repress* Separated from both its reputation and its sleeve art, the music of Muslimgauze explores the relationship of visual sensations -- space, color, depth, illusion -- to the listening experience. The music on Maroon is dub-like inspired techno music, laidback with voices appearing randomly in the mix. The thick drums and rich found sounds that densely populate the soundscapes on Maroon give materiality to the warm presence of the synth washes. The music is so layered and textured that…
Songs Of Beginning And Belonging
*200 copies limited edition* Having shared stages with artists like Efterklang and Ólafur Arnalds, Samson has long felt like an outsider, caught between being “too experimental” for some and “too indie” for others. His struggle to fit into a defined space has deeply influenced his music. After the pandemic derailed a major indie record deal, Samson grew disillusioned with the industry, reflecting on how his search for belonging had often been met with barriers. His new album “Songs of Beginning …
Toy Planet
Original 1981 edition on Spoon of Can's Irmin Schmidt's collaboration with Bruno Spoerri.
Northern Michigan Snowstorms
"Northern Michigan Snowstorms" is an auditory journey that captures the serene beauty and introspective magic of stormy winters nights in the countryside. Each track transports listeneres to cozy cottages nesteld in tall pines. Music that mirrors the serene solitude of a snowy evening, where time slows, allowing the listener to be enveloped in a cocoon of sonic wonder. Ambient layers mimic the gentle wishpering of the wind through snow covered branches. Eight tracks of blurry loops, soft pads, a…
Caelum
Caelum is the third entry in an ongoing series of longform, loop-based sound sculptures from zakè (aka Zach Frizzell), sustaining the tranquil beauty explored on Unfurled Works (2020) and Deep Into the Unknown, We Shall Endlessly Roam (2023). Its four pieces were selected from more than two dozen sketches born out of experimentation in the quiet hours, and refined through Frizzell’s signature treatments, which conjure new worlds from antiquated means.
“Caelum (No. 2)” is led by a cycle of breath…
13
For its inaugural release of 2025, Past Inside The Present proudly offers a powerful set of new pieces from experimental ambient veteran bvdub (aka Brock Van Wey), simply titled 13. Across its duration, spacious arrangements nest in clouds of reverb, underscored by granular details and entrancing synth arpeggiations. According to Van Wey – a long time scholar of Eastern ideas and literature – every section represents one edict or idea from chapter 13 of the Tao Te Ching, the foundational text of…
Hamel
Very rare original copy in great condition of the 1st album from 1972 on the Vertigo swirl label by meditative minimalist composer Peter Michael Hamel. A trippy 2xLP masterpiece with gatefold sleeve.
The Interstellar Music of Martin Glass
Martin Glass had been a surprise choice for the commission. It was the Spring of 1977 and two Interstellar Mariners were to be sent hurtling into deep space. Glass was to provide weekly "sonologues" of their progress, audio diarist for a pair of mute mechanical adventurers. Delivered with a near fanatical diligence over the course of nearly three decades, these stuttering musical biographies would soon bewilder those who had first asked for them. Martin's work, they judged, had begun to plot its…
Music For Bus Stations
*2025 much needed repress!!!* Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good.
"Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and …
Music for Tomato Plants
Loris S. Sarid is a Rome born musician and sound designer living in Glasgow (Scotland). Music for Tomato Plants was born while taking care of a little tomato plant, grown on the windowsill of his flat during the winter 2020. The album is a homage to the unapparent courage of simplicity, and the beauty and lightness of the most ordinary things.
“In the same spirit of Mort Garson, Green-House and others who synthesize the natural and musical worlds, this ambient serenade for tomato plants is a wel…
Selene
Limited edition of 500 on cloudy white vinyl. Atmosphere and gravity lean into each other. They are simultaneously expansive, and anchoring. They hold us, and lend a sense of perspective. Akira Kosemura & Lawrence English provide a stability and a knowingness which is essential in the absolute, and yet we can't help but find ourselves gazing upward, outward and reaching towards that which sits outside those things and ways we know. Selene is a record about that this lingering desire for that whi…
Palaces Of Pity

Working with regular collaborators celebrated cellist Oliver Coates and gifted guitarist Florian Le Prisé, she released the 5 song set Palaces Of Pity back in 2020. Expanded to 6 pieces, this recently received a sellout vinyl pressing. Opening number, The Things That Fade, will tell you all that you need to know about Malibu’s modus operandi. This is a siren’s song woven from seductive, spectral sighs, drones, which come…

Under The Arches
Where to begin with a figure like Simon Fisher Turner? From teenage stage and screen star to illustrious recording artist for Creation and Mute and score composer of Caravaggio, Blue and The Epic of Everest - via a stint with The The and collaborations with Derek Jarman, David Lynch and Tilda Swinton, to name but a few - Turner embodies a distinctly modernist sensibility and boundless curiosity for sound. For us, discovering Deux Filles, his devilishly intriguing, perfectly camp project with Col…
Gvoon Brennung 1
Previously unreleased music from the archives of Can cofounder Holger Czukay will be released as an album in the new year. Out on March 28th through Grönland Records, Gvoon - Brennung 1 contains 65 minutes of material that's believed to date back to the '90s. The genesis for the release started last year at Berlin dance performance Take Off Sound, when artist Arthur Schmidt, AKA Gvoon, brandished a flash drive and handed it to Dirk Dresselhaus. It is a case of pop cultural archaeology. A search …
Prismatics
Red Translucent Vinyl. The new solo album from Cate Brooks is a bright and bold collection of corporate electronica, partly inspired by commercial and TV music of the early to mid 1980s. It captures a moment in time where analogue technologies are just about giving way to computers and digital media. Brooks is a prolific and accomplished composer and on Prismatics she brings to bear a deep experience and understanding of electronic musical equipment. As well as a seasoned production engineer she…
Maar
2024 Stock. Le Motel and Bruce Wijn met at school, during a school art trip to Munich. They went separate ways for a long time. Hailing from Brussels, Le Motel’s world is a vortex of sight and sound that takes in the many and varied corners of the planet. As a music producer and film composer, his versatility has taken him to festivals and clubs in every direction as naturally as he has ventured out to the less accessible areas of the globe as a field recordist. It’s somewhere in between these…
