L'uomo e la natura
Emmanuel Mario returns to Karaoke Kalk with his third album under his Astrobal moniker for the Berlin-based imprint. »L’uomo e la natura« (»Man and Nature«) sees the prolific drummer and producer, who has worked with artists such as Laetitia Sadier and label mate Pink Shabab, take a different musical route than before. The French electronic music composer pays homage to the spirit of library music while also making concessions to different strains of pop and even classical music. With only two o…
Omni Sight Seeing
This was his first studio album in four years since his last album, "Endless Talking", and the first release since moving to Epic/Sony Records. This work was the result of sessions and collaborations with Arabian musicians, with an inclination towards the 'world music' that was gaining attention at the time. Deployed often in pop culture as punchline, Hosono takes such sight-seeing and transforms it into a metaphor for sample-heavy electronic music, drawing from various cultures and weaving them…
Dialektik
*37 copies limited edition* Formen's second album, "Dialektik," approaches the ambivalence of our contemporary society through the possibilities of sound design. The individual tracks, as well as the album as a whole, are filled with emotional contrasts, conflicting timbres, and inherent ambiguity. By bringing together opposing ideas, the album attempts to develop its own aesthetics, combining seemingly contradictory concepts such as noise/harmony, dysfunction/function, analog/digital, nature/te…
In Echtzeit
*100 copies limited edition* Schall/Formen explores the interaction between acoustic sounds and their electronic modulation in real time. The duo aims to reflect on the boundaries between these two realms: Acoustic instruments are microphoned, combined with the rhythms of an analog drum machine, and modulated in real time using a mixing console with interacting delay lines, tangled feedback loops, and subtle equalizer adjustments. No computers, DAWs, or software - just pure sound and electricity…
Petra's Stone
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Petra's Stone" is an obscure gem consisting of eight delicately restrained downtempo pieces.
The album is built around field recordings that c o m t e has collected over the last few years in Sweden, Italy and Ireland. Through the subtle editing and manipulation of samples, c o m t e has managed to create a soundscape consisting of repetitive structures that is as enigmatic as it is intimate. These repeating loops and rhythmically arranged fragments are …
Birds Of Paradise
Celebrating the interconnected strands of head-tripping electronica she holds dear, Nadia Struiwigh arrives on Dekmantel with her fourth album of widescreen machine soul. Birds Of Paradise joins the dots between electro, techno, ambient and jungle as a reflection of the symbiotic relationship between the contrasting elements which drive all life on earth - the inescapable and chaotic forces of cause and effect. Echoing the free-spirited approach of electronic music in the mid-90s, it’s an album …
Voltæ (Chthulucene)
Melancholic. Intense. Deep. Epic. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is a tribute to electricity and telluric forces, a complete celebration of life, a symbiosis for an epistemic shift.
Mossed Capable of Being Observant
“Florian T M Zeisig returns to his home at enmossed with an LP of new material titled Mossed Capable of Being Observant under a new moniker, Angel R. On this latest sonic offering, Angel R arranges the recordings with an undertone of hope, letting the aural dramaturgy unfold sans forced melancholia typical of the genres contemporary cliches. Zeisig’s signature attention to the circular gravity of the loop is again showcased, but Angel R takes the dynamic to another plane for Mossed Capable of Be…
Recollection
Jacob Long’s fourth full-length for Kranky began as a notion to reimagine Earthen Sea as a “piano trio,” inspired by a year-long immersion in the ECM label catalog, but the compositions soon grew more complex. Elements were chopped and resampled, then layered with bass, drums, percussion, and additional keys. The result is a fusion of live band acoustics and downtempo loops, sculpted into nine smoke-and-mirror dubs of fractured jazz, soft-focus noir, and trip-hop dust: Recollection.
Like the tit…
The Majestic Yes
Taking off from Beaugars Seck’s foundational sabar drum rhythms — recorded by Sam in Dakar in February 2020 — Shackleton has constructed a trio of intricately layered, luminous, enchanted, epic excursions. The second is more dazzled and meandering, with jellied bass, insectile detail, and discombobulated jabbering; the third is more liquid, fleet of foot, and psychedelic, with a grooving b-line and funky keyboard stabs, scrambled eastern strings and hypnotic vocalese.

Atlas of Green
Ever-evolving the mythologies and magic of Dialect’s sonic sphere, Andrew PM Hunt returns with Atlas of Green, elegantly molding unexacting details of memory and mistranslation into the framework of the British musician and composer’s creative pursuit. The album imagines a young musician named Green working in a future dawning era where lost signals and enduring impulses are unearthed from the sediments of technology and time. Across twelve compositions, which embrace encounters with the malfunc…

Shyness
Labels Theory Therapy and co:clear come together to release the debut album by Italy-based artist CHANTSSSS.
‘Shyness’ suggests something subtle, intricate and ethereal – but it also demands your attention. Over 10 tracks of spacious, sub-aquatic ambience, CHANTSSSS pulls you deep into his vaporous sound world. The songs themselves, a blend of ambient pop, chamber music and pulsing low end rhythms, feel cloaked in mystery. Layers of reverb and zonked vocals float in the atmosphere, moving betwee…
