Electronic / Drone

"Newly launched independent label based in Italy Naked Lunch Records is another fine purveyor of now legendary industrial power electronic acts (Maurizio Bianchi…) and challenging contemporary artists in the field of abstract and noisy drone ambient. It sounds quite natural that Giuseppe Verticchio, mastermind of Nimh found a warm welcome there. With a quite singular, eclectic and dense musical production that goes from thrilling cinematic calmscapes, to ritualistic looped ambient and post-indus…

*200 copies limited edition* After a good six years from Nimh's last solo CD of previously unreleased material (Circles of the Vain Prayers), and two years after his previous collaborative CD (Post-Folk Lore Vol.1), Giuseppe Verticchio is back, walking again on those same electronic paths strongly imbued with ethnic ritual suggestions and sonorities. The sound of string and wind instruments, metals and percussion instruments coming mainly from South-East Asian countries, combined with refined el…

*300 copies limited edition* Since the first half of the 1990s, Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh began to explore the territories of sound experimentation, alternating and integrating the use of electronic synthesisers, effects, software, ethnic instruments and sound objects of various kinds. In "Early Electronic Works" two obscure unpublished works of a purely electronic nature have been collected, "Caustic" and "Composite", recorded at different times during those years. These are recordings made live…

*2025 repress* 2014's »Sea Island« was recorded over two years. While many of these compositions were performed live extensively prior to recording, others were constructed in the studio and are being heard for the first time here. Musically, the album represents a range of compositional approaches. Murky, densely textured depths of sound are explored with subtle pulses and pings woven within, contrasted with composed or improvised moments of acoustic instrumentation making a move into the foreg…

When Eleh's debut Floating Frequencies/Intuitive Synthesis I was originally released it was praised as a powerful piece of new electronic minimalism. Twenty years later the artist's legacy has grown while Eleh continues to hypnotize new listeners with time stopping music. Critics, fans and neurologists have praised the music of Eleh as aiding attention and focus while seeming to slow time. Eleh's slow change drones are a state of flow hypnotizing listeners into meditative focus. From the origina…

*100 copies limited edition* "Meldrop tells of the place I call home, my dogs, the forest and the lives within. It speaks of birth, life, and the end of it. It speaks of a realm where even death becomes solely a matter of sound and scent". The debut album by Iuga emerges as a deeply immersive work of cinematic ambient music, entirely created through analog and modular synthesizers. Built around dense textures, slow-moving tensions and emotionally charged atmospheres, the album explores the psych…

Several years ago Gary Mundy of Ramleh/Broken Flag (and far more besides) declared to me that he wished to do one new Kleistwahr album every year until he's no longer able to do them. Fourth Dimension Records has subsequently fulfilled a promise to honour this plan as much as possible and is managing to keep up so far. How Gary manages to keep pulling new ideas out of the proverbial hat at this rate is anybody's guess, but the latest album, 'For the Lives Once Lived', illustrates very clearly th…

The next solo Project by Eric Van Wonterghem. This venture delves into the realm of experimental electronic music, featuring an combination of digitakt/korgms20 and effect pedals generating drones and feedback loops. Ambient industrial sound & visual art composition, brutalists industrial design of the future in sci-fi landscapes on Prodam youtube.

The album represents an opportunity for the globetrotting family trio to explore their origins. Tengger means ultimate expanded sky in Mongolian. The album finds Tengger accepting the mood of the world, using the motion of wind and waves as sonic inspiration. Tengger’s interest in cosmology reflects in their outlook and lyrical approach. In their words “the sound starts from the breaking dawn and circulates around until the night sky and the milky way.”Opening single "Panaptu" offers a reverent …

*2023 stock. 250 copies limited edition* For the first time both long active artists from the experimental / post industrial / field recording scene have collaborated, creating a mesmerizing one-tracker (56+ min.) with many breathtaking moments and passages from the very beginning... an incredible intense new sonic reality arises, full of surrealistic (almost psychoactive) drones capturing your whole body, taking you on a journey to the microworlds of the "more than human" lifeforms... a "Phloem…

2001 release  **  TCOB continue to create some great, minimal and intriguing music. Stripped bare, with very little going on, this is nevertheless a mighty work. ERIC KESNER, the guy behind TCOB, goes to great lengths to let people know that this is purely a guitar album with just one sample appearing on the last track. You may not think this worth mentioning, but when you hear this music you'll realise why. Mutated beyond nearly anything else you'll ever hear on this instrument, it's impossible…

From the edges of a hallucinatory torpor, Rue des Garderies continue their explorations in psychedelia — Femacosmé presents here a new piece recorded live at the Pe:rsona festival, at Domaine des Éveils in the summer of 2025. An adventure guided by blur, the intangible, the impermanent, where layers, voices, sounds, and organic and synthetic echoes resonate, emerge, then fade away — as if to deceive reality, or at least our perception of it. More than two semi-improvised hours in which Rue des G…

Hiroshi Ebina presents a lullaby for the sleepless with his latest album, Into the Darkness of the Night. A follow-up to his debut on Kitchen. Label, In Science and the Human Heart, this album delves deeper into the serene and weightless analog soundscapes that have become Hiroshi's signature, crafted specifically for the quiet hours of the city night. Into the Darkness of the Night transcends the concept of sleep, transforming it into a profound thematic exploration. Inspired by his partner's s…

2004 release ** The eagerly expected split album of Niko Skorpio & Kouhei Matsunaga! With its full 74 minutes and numerous collaborations it covers many areas of electronic and experimental music, from chilling ambience to high energy noise freakouts and from trapezoidal rhythms to plain weird alien atmospheres. Comes with a particular magickal wibe and underground spirit.

*100 copies limited edition* The pieces on air signs are based on fairly minimal guitar loops with overlapping swells and melodies. Inspired by the hawk on the cover, which landed right outside the window at my workplace in a hectic area of downtown Toronto, the pieces are light and airy, reflecting the stillness of our natural surroundings in the midst of human made chaos. The guitar loops on the album are mostly processed with a Chase Bliss Lossy pedal as well as a Vongon Paragraphs filter bot…

*100 copies limited edition* A tense musical and poetic journey through the night from Uhushuhu and Prorok. Who dwells in this world? Who gradually becomes our constant companion here? Grass, sand; a hand, a candle; wool, a fish; fire, a wave; moss, the Moon; grass, a river; ice, snow; clouds, stones – hypnotic images of a lullaby whispered to a traveler lost in a stream of sound. However, paraphrasing a well-known proverb, it is impossible to put to sleep someone who is already asleep.

*2026 stock* With Ousia, Joachim Spieth presents his third full-length album on his label Affin. Originally released as a double 12", the record translates ephemeral impressions into cinematic soundscapes and unfolds across eight pieces that form an intense, emotional journey — exploring the subtle interplay between external perception and inner reflection. The album also features Mutuus, a captivating and unique collaboration between Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth — their first joint work i…

*2026 stock* Originally released in 2020 as a double 12", Tides marked Joachim Spieth’s second full-length album on his Affin imprint. The record quickly sold out and has now been reissued as a carefully crafted CD edition presented in a 6-panel digipak. The album unfolds across eight tracks, shaped by endlessly interwoven layers and subtle shifts of tone, tracing a path between immersive, melancholic, and euphoric moments. Flowing textures and atmospheric depth merge into a vivid emotional land…

*2026 stock* With "Onda", Regensburg artist Markus Guentner releases his follow-up to Empire, which appeared on A Strangely Isolated Place in 2021. "Onda" captivates with its orchestral-like progressions, an endlessly interwoven carpet of sound that spreads out over six etudes. As if in slow motion, he scans through the individual sound particles, works out details, lets dust fall from the source material, cores, connects and in the end lets everything flow... "Onda" will be released on May 5, 2…

"It might sound like a cliché, but the music on the album "The Sea" emerged from watching the sea every morning on Fårö - more precisely, in Aursviken. It was the subtle shifts in the sea, the waves, the direction of the wind, and the colour of the sky that filled me with inspiration. The light and the darkness. The fact that we have this beautiful sea surrounding us, and the sky above as an opening toward infinity. Sometimes it’s that simple. I recorded the entire album during the summer of 202…

*Every copy is assembled by hand, slowly and deliberately. No two will ever be exactly the same. Individually numbered. Limited to 75 copies. * There is a quiet moment as winter begins to loosen its grip, when the frost softens, the light lingers a little longer, and time seems to gently unfold. With 'Piano Distance', Japanese composer Nakamura Hiroyuki invites us into that fragile threshold between seasons. A pianist, composer, and visual artist working at the intersection of acoustic instrumen…

Birdman Records is proud to be reissuing Invisible Men, the early space explorations of electronic music pioneer F/i. In the mid-80s F/i was on the cutting edge of electronic bombast, producing cassette tapes of late-night interstellar sessions to be traded world over with the handful of heads that were plugged into similar perambulations. As a link between Throbbing Gristle and the Spacemen 3, this period of F/i has been woefully forgotten, until now. Later in the 80s, F/i would morph into Voco…

*100 copies limited edition* "Remnants is an album marked by the ambiguity of presence and absence. The pieces, recorded using minimal equipment in what Suzuki describes as a ritual-like atmosphere, began as a way of processing the loss of her father in 2019. But beyond this, they also come to speak to the ways in which loss changes our relationship with someone, and our experiences of the world. Indeed, the experience of loss is not marked merely by a single event, but is instead a process that…

*200 copies limited edition* "Cold Star: A Noise Inc." is a collaboration between Deison and Cranioclast. From 2019 to 2024 there were continuous virtual exchange processes to create long sound-themes. The sounds were recorded, collected and manipulated by Deison at 1st Floor Studio and by Soltan Karik with the virtual succour by Sankt Klario. Tracks are segmented as circular encyclicas and the notorious use of anagrams is adopted for each title. Michael from Kallabris, helped to start the colla…

*200 copies limited edition* Black Bamboo IV continues TeZ's series of electroacoustic and acousmatic performances, centered on the live transformation of acoustic sources and field recordings. Improvisations unfold through the interplay of hybrid DIY tools, traditional folk and ethnic instruments, environmental textures, and archival audio fragments. These elements are expanded and recombined through generative filters, delays, pitch shifters, and harmonizers—woven into evolving feedback loops …

A mild-mannered engineer by day, Michael Carlson is an experimental computer musician who focuses on drone ambient music and field recording; revolving around tracker programs since the early '90s, informed and inspired by the eclectic styles of music he listens to. The results sometimes hold the listener in stasis, other times guiding the listener through undefined vistas, always with the intent to reward patience. 'Coalescence' is the culmination of several years of exploration, experimentatio…

Obreel emerges as a compelling meeting point between three distinct yet profoundly complementary voices within contemporary ambient and experimental electronic music: Pepo Galán, Joachim Spieth, and Markus Guentner. The result is an album where rich textures, delicate fragility, and architectural clarity coalesce into compositions of meditative depth and luminous resonance.

Stillform is a meeting of kinesthetic restraint and sonic precision. The album’s aesthetic lives in reduction - sparse motifs are carved out with care, micro-rhythms and attenuated textures bloom and dissolve with measured control. The collaboration reflects both artists’ shared interest in how minimal elements can create profound aural spaces: Onodera’s spatial sensibilities and Arovane’s keen melodic structuring converge to offer a listening experience that is simultaneously intimate and expan…

*2026 stock* With Spectral Passage, rhubiqs delivers a deeply immersive concept album that traces a psychological journey from turmoil to clarity. Inspired by artists like Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Sarah Davachi and William Basinski, the record layers guitars, synths, pianos, samples, field recordings, strings and brass into shifting soundscapes that mirror the mind’s passage through anxiety, trauma and renewal. Opening with dense, disorienting textures (Infinite Dusk, Endless Nights), the album grad…

*2026 stock* Following his Affin debut Dolere in the summer of 2024 and his collaboration with Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner on Arcadia, zakè returns to the imprint with his second solo album, Low Harmonics. As the title suggests, the record sinks into the lower depths of sound, shaped by heavy bass currents, low frequency drift, and slow moving vibration. Low Harmonics extends the reflective world introduced on Dolere, which explored how time stretches during periods of sorrow and how soun…

Vestige continues Joachim Spieth’s refined exploration of spatial sound and textural depth. Building on the sonic language developed throughout his recent works – including Retrace – the album expands the dialogue between ambient atmospheres and dub-infused detail. The result is a composition of weightless intensity: a sound that unfolds in motion, inhabiting both vast hall spaces and microscopic frequency shifts. Driven by the question of how much presence can reside within a single, minimal so…

*2026 stock* With rhubiqs we welcome a new artist from the United Kingdom, who makes his first appearance on the Affin label with the album “Aegis of Silence”. Musically, the project moves between the poles of warm electronica, post-rock and soft ambient sounds, which are miraculously merged into a melodious body of work. rhubiqs' sound works fit into the existing affin sound garden on the one hand, but shine with an independently developed signature that is able to set its own accents.

*100 copies limited edition* Time spent in hospital rooms. The weight still unfolding. The uncertain future. More questions than answers. Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife. Shaped by what we are moving through together. An attempt to meet pain with love. Keep going. Try to rest. When can we. Holding each moment close, celebrating it as if it were both our first and our last. Knowing that love, in its truest form, is never measured by grandeur but by the depth of wha…

Unconsciousness Silence is the latest ambient exploration from Japanese sound artist Chihei Hatakeyama. Known for his ethereal guitar drones and textured soundscapes, Hatakeyama creates immersive sonic environments that unfold slowly, inviting deep listening and introspection. This release continues his signature approach, blending delicate melodies, subtle electronics, and spacious ambient textures into a meditative journey.

First volume of the 2015 collaboration of the undisputed Italian master of industrial/electronic music with Italian Ambient/drone duo, released by TIBProd. in an edition of 202 copies with silk-screened insert.

*200 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2009, Capri is a concept album composed of fragmented vignettes, lost minutes and scenes from an idyllic imagining. A collection of brief moments, suspended shimmers, and frail settings, Capri was never meant to be more than its own thin veneer; a naked and subtle wash of saturated and semi-transparent colors, rolling as gently as ocean waves against rocky beaches, of fading afternoon sunlight, of momentary experience. Peaceful yet isolated, qu…

*50 copies limited edition* A cry. Woodsmoke drifts across a field and into the forest, an acrid smell haunting it, and the sound of distant cheering, chilling those squatting wide-eyed among the underbrush. It could be anywhere in Europe in the 15th, 16th or 17th centuries - a woman being literally burned alive, outwardly for being at one with Nature, but more prosaically and to many in the know, for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The deafening, hateful voice of patriarchal re…

*200 copies limited edition* “Ypnos”, the Greek word for sleep, is reinterpreted here as something far more introspective and unsettling. Within the context of this release, it evokes a state of emotional isolation and spiritual withdrawal, a descent shaped by trauma. Rather than presenting trauma in a literal or narrative form, Fractalyst translates it into a kind of aural poetry, abstract yet deeply resonant. The album avoids fixation or glorification of suffering. Instead, it unfolds as a gra…

On Silent Portrait, City of Dawn distils their ambient language into a single, weightless frame: soft‑focus drones and hushed harmonics deepened by Marisa Grijalva’s bass shadings, mastered into luminous stillness and wrapped in equally contemplative artwork.
