Kantamoinen
On Kantamoinen, Mika Vainio under his Ø alias tilts his brutal minimalism toward memory: sparse, physical electronics wrapped in a more romantic, concrete atmosphere haunted by childhood summers at his grandmother’s house in Artjärvi.
Two Hours To Toronto
Bite Handle is a Buffalo-based producer who plays with ambient through a sample-driven approach. With influences ranging from experimental icons like OPN and Death Grips, to internet beloved genres like j-core and vaporwave, as well as cloud rap and witch house, his music carries fragments of his identity. Deeply linked to place and belonging, Two Hours to Toronto, looks at the city in an aspirational loving haze. Every track samples a single mysterious artist, creating a secret thread that conn…
Fulgurite
*2026 stock* This album was recorded in Paris, late 2013, by four members of the Unmapped collective. Since the foundation of Unmapped in 2007, the collective was dedicated mostly to interaction between traditional instruments and computers. They always privileged the concept of “dual-units” (binômes, in French) to establish a tight and equal relationship between these two universes, thus allowing the emergence of hybrid instruments.
In Fulgurite, the live computer side of Unmapped is represente…
Dendermonde
*2026 stock* Dendermonde represents an ambitious encounter between acoustic and electronic elements, mixed together in a unique and hybrid sound territory, oriented towards psychedelia and post- rock. This album is the result of an experimentation that aims at creating a bridge between electroacoustic music and blues. It is crossed in its entirety by analog hiss and crackles, noises, and field recordings. All of this finds a centre in the sound of guitars, sometimes acid, sometimes ethereal, yet…

Garry Kasparov vs Deep Blue
For the players, chess is a game of competition. Defeat the opponent by surpassing their strategic prowess. A neutral spectator is able to embrace the kinetic serenity of what the players create together. The game unfolds as a slow pendulum swing, the players trading tiny motions between calculative stretches of silence, the black and white pieces intermingling and thinning over the axis of time. Heery's album hinges on a dialogue between two synthesised elements - a patient electronic surge and…
Minority Of The Dead
The backstory: 5 September, 2012 was the day John Cage would have turneed 100. Centenary celebrations for a prominent artist would seem rather conventional. Inappropriate for an extremely unconventional artist. But seemingly inappropriate things can be quite appropriate in unconventional contexts. So why not participate in a 100th birthday commemorative project? No sooner said than done...

Pensieri di Dina
*60 copies limited edition* "Pensieri di Dina" is an electroacoustic ambient work for guitar, saxophone, and digital synthesis. Each track was born from improvised sessions using acoustic, electronic, and digital instruments, then sculpted with sound manipulation processes in Max/MSP. The result creates an intimate, layered, contemplative soundscape.
The EP takes its name from Cesare Pavese's work “Pensieri di Dina” (Dina's Thoughts). The titles of the tracks make up the entire poem, which perfe…
Cyan Music
Tip! ** Edition of 70 ** On Cyan Music, Atte Elias Kantonen sets out to answer a deceptively simple question: what happens when shimmer and sheen – qualities usually belonging to light – are reimagined as pure sound. Across eight pieces he uses radiant, meticulously sculpted synthesis to build a world where timbre behaves like reflective surfaces, refracting and scattering in ways that feel almost tangible. Rather than leaning on obvious ambient tropes, he treats each track as a small laboratory…
Shostakovich's 5th Played Backwards In A Concrete Silo
Tastemaker and cult figure among some, noise vendor among others… lurking somewhere in the shadows between London and Paris, the man known as Sheet Noise emerges out of the blue with his debut LP, Shostakovich's 5th Played Backwards in a Concrete Silo.
A direct shock to the system: equally beautiful and evil, abrasive yet uncomfortably calming. The feeling that something is about to happen at any minute—impending love or hatred blaring from the speakers at breakneck speeds. Heavy-duty, reactor-m…
How Much Can We Understand
*2025 stock* "Fero Király's How Much Can We Understand maps out some of the foggy territory where technological systems intersect with organic complexity. The album's two sidelong tracks were generated using “a cellular automaton with code 357”, a computational model where simple rules applied to a grid of cells produce intricate evolving patterns that echo the inexplicability of natural phenomena. The result is as much a feat of cold engineering as a tender ode to musical minimalism. On side on…
Computer Series Last Run
Tip! French producer and composer Synalegg is back to OOH-sounds with the startling second (and final) installment of his inventive Computer Series. In an exploratory generative experiment, he developed a Pure Data patch capable of autonomous composition. Each activation produces unpredictable and immersive sonic environments that reflect the structural complexity of the patch. Synalegg aimed to subvert the tyranny of the composer, liberating music from the influence of individual taste and deli…
