Emo Inhaler
Roman Hiele (1991) is a Brussels-based musician and composer whose work explores the boundaries between improvisation and electronic composition. His music unfolds as a living system of shifting harmonies, fractured rhythms, and unexpected turns. At the core of Hiele’s practice lies a deep fascination for contrast, where his soundscapes act as both anchor and disruption, sharpening the emotional depth of images and spaces, a sensibility that extends into his collaborations with filmmakers, visua…
Ambient $
Mythology has a recurring theme: creating ambiguity by rearranging worlds and creatures that normally don’t belong together. Centaurs, Minotaurs, Hydras and so on: mockery and mystery intertwine into entities that are in equal parts magnificent and ridiculous. Referencing this idea in the present, Loris S. Sarid conjures 12 compositions simultaneously showing traits of dreamlike trap, candy-flavoured New Age and Spoken Word. The lines between spiritual and mundane, drama and parody are bent and …
Polychromatic
After three years of silence, Harz returns with "polychromatic", his long-awaited second album.
The Incessant Need To Fill In Blank Spaces
The album offers massive long-form drone with a beautiful ambient touch—it is the first part of a trilogy. The artwork consists of an embroidery hoop enclosing a piece of felt that holds the cassette and credit inlay.
Leikarring
The album is an experimental, atmospheric journey with wonderful sounds. The artwork consists of a wooden box with a sticker. The credits are printed on a long strip of paper that wraps around the cassette.
Remnants
"I don’t keep photographs, old letters, keepsakes or memorabilia. I have sound-files, thousands of them, un-used, un-heard: folders of field recordings; sonic sketches; experiments that failed but weren’t deleted. The files are saved on hard drives or the cards of obsolete pieces of equipment replaced – bit by dusty bit – with something new, clean and shiny. A remnant is what’s left over when the greater part it once belonged to has been used up, removed, or destroyed. I think of my sound-files …
Voyage
After a series of EPs and releases across different media (magazines, posters, digital), dTHEd returns with a new LP — their first in six years since the debut Hyperbeatz vol.1 on Boring Machines — titled VOYAGE (Vital Operations and Yearly Administration for Galactic Existence), a bold, genre-defying concept album chronicling humanity’s flight from an uninhabitable Earth to the deep unknown of interstellar exile. More than an album, VOYAGE is a full speculative fiction universe — part musical e…

A Little Death
Claire Rousay completes her trilogy with A Little Death, where field recordings intertwine with strings and piano like voices in a chamber ensemble. A return to her core practice after sentiment's pop forms, the album transforms tactile samples into emotional archaeology—fragile, honest, vital.
Mirrors

Melanesia
2025 stock A journey back in time, maybe thousands of years ago, somewhere in the isolated islands of Melanesia. Here, just like a sound alchemist, Roberto Musci transforms organic nature elements into a unique sound performance of self-estrangement.
In the artists’ laboratory, we will discover a melting pot of ancestral ceremonial sounds collided with contemporary chamber music and experimental-electronic methods based on music research. Among these, ethnical music of the populations of Kanaki…
Reaping From The Conflux
2025 stock Philipp Hülsenbeck and Michael Schönheit entered their collaborative space, the Great Hall of Gewandhaus Leipzig, in spring 2019, in order to explore the sonic potential of the Schuke organ juxtaposed with unrestrained electronic synthesis and otherworldy digital processing.

Constant Comments
2025 stock Reacting to the sounds around him, words said in passing, shards of birdsong, a glint of breeze, and kids at play, Freund (One half of Akron Ohio duo Trouble Books) stands at the center to create gentle meanderings to add as his part of the symbiotic conversation. The soothing sun is recorded alongside soft voices; the intake of a breath mixes with laughter of children. The album can be understood as a dialogue between the small moments occurring around us and our natural response wit…
Together Is The New Alone
2025 stock For its 20th anniversary, Keplar presents an absolute milestone in the history of IDM and ambient music for the first time in its definite form: »Together Is the New Alone« by Donnacha Costello was originally released on Mille Plateaux in 2001 as the second LP under the Irish producer’s given name and firmly established him as one of the leading artists in the field of forward-thinking electronic music after he had primarily made a name for himself with house and techno releases under…

The Secret Garden
2025 stock Protein, registered in every day life as tax payer Tobias Laemmert, released his first official studio album "Süss" in 2001. Mathias Modica, the Gomma label boss, heard Protein's tape by chance during a taxi ride and instantly offered him a contract.

Reactions
2025 stock "Reactions" is the debut album from First Tone, the musical partnership of New Orleans-based artists Turk Dietrich (Second Woman, Belong) and composer Duane Pitre (Important Records).

Warm Former
