All The Young Droids - Junkshop Synth Pop 1978-1985
All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth Pop 1978-1985 is a new compilation that charts the underbelly of the epoch-defining sound of the synthesizer in '80s popular music. Compiled by curator Phil King, the music here connects the dots between DIY synth enthusiasts grappling with new, cheap synthesizers at the tail-end of punk and wannabe, jobbing songwriters enthrall to the new music pioneered by Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller's Mute Records. Featuring rare tracks of auto-didactic prog…

At Quadrant Park
**Edition of 500 compact discs with artwork by Robert Beatty unique to every individual copy. Each copy forms one distinct frame of a short film never to be viewed in its totality.** For the inaugural release on Quadrant Park, SDEM delivers a live recording with a twist: this set was recorded in early 2024 in a single take to an audience of one, at a now abandoned empty club space beneath a railway arch in Leeds. Following a series of physical and digital releases culminating with Vortices in 20…

Splitting Hits For The Heat Damage
*100 copies limited edition* The chars were emerging as some chunk of makeshift swamp coolers blasted the soil surrounding our motorbikes. Sunburn vapours floating grey all around, licking our necks with heavy hazy tongues. Just oppressive and gross. Blah. Someone says heat waves are among the most dangerous natural hazards. I guess that the magnetic tides did not help at all. For sure, recreational sleep deprivation aside, it was days of relentlessly documented tipsy headaches, thermometric cic…

*2025 stock* This Monotonprodukt is a CD release of the blau vinyl written and produced by Monoton in 1980. Re-mastered in 2006. It also contains 3 unreleased tracks from that period. Since the late 70's, early 1980's, Monotonprodukt and the "Institut für wissenschaftliche Sensation" (Institute for Scientific Sensations) have been working on the transposition of metamathematical structures, natural constants and resonance patterns in models of "bionic" psycho-active automat music.

Pilgrimage Of Sound 2 - Abhorrence -
2006 release ** ""Pilgrimage of Sound" is the new series of the Japanese electroacustic / experimental / noise artist Kazuya Ishigami here dealing with the concept of 'desire' seen from the plant, human and machine points of view. Kazuya sticks to the concept of "desire" with a quite radical approach, his irregular patterns of sonic abstractions could be described as intense droning assaults and the sound sources are so many and so heavily treated that they are almost impossible to be traced. St…
Multiple Personality Disorder
2009 release ** "A concept CD divided in four long parts recorded back in 1991 that fully showcase their mastery in distorting and layering guitar sounds."
Like A Packed Cupboard But Quite...
2003 release ** "The curiously titled „Like a packed cupboard but quite...“ is the 2nd release for the Dekorder label by Un Caddie Renversé dans l’Herbe a.k.a. Dídac P. Lagarriga from Barcelona, Spain after his beautiful 3“CD „Now there’s a weird taste in my mouth“. Not unlike his previous works which have been compared to the likes of Pascal Comelade, Asa Chang & Junray, Penguin Café Orchestra and Steve Beresford, the album’s using repetition and simplicity, melody and warmth, charm and a posit…
Pink
2015 release ** "Maria da Rocha's name may not be familiar to jazz and improvised music lovers in Portugal, because this Lisbon-based violinist and violist has worked primarily in the Berlin and Stockholm circuits, and much of her dedication has gone to interpreting the great composers of contemporary, classical, and baroque music. In her own projects, however, she embraces the processes and aesthetics of improvisation, and it was in this context that we heard her at Creative Fest late last year…
Whitby
David Boulter, best known as a long-time member of Tindersticks, returns to Clay Pipe Music with Whitby - an evocative mini album inspired by the stark beauty and unsettling calm of England’s North Yorkshire coast. Unlike the familiar seaside towns of his youth - Great Yarmouth, Scarborough, Filey - Whitby held no particular memories for Boulter until he visited with his family in the summer of 2024. "I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings, or memories of them," he says. "Sat on an almost de…
Moonbuilding Summer 2025 (How Did We Get Here?) (Magazine + CD)
Good lord, Moonbuilding Issue 6 has taken its sweet time. But don’t look at us, this handsome A5 zine has a mind of its own. Magic like this is out of our hands. Or as ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’ put it, “she comes when she comes”. But it’s here. Finally. And anyway, in the grand scheme it’s best not to ask how it’s happened, but how quickly you can get your hands on a copy.
So what have we got? Well, taking pole position on the cover of the Summer 2025 issue is the utterly unique Loula Yorke. In our b…
WVLT
WVLT is the newest sonic addition from WNDFRM (Portland-based, Tim Westcott), an album of eight distinct explorations exploring the many facets of experimental IDM. Tim Westcott’s practice is rooted in an acute, nearly forensic attention to sound. Subtle tones, sculpted drones, and lean percussive gestures, always pursued with a patient ear and obsession with sound design. With previous releases on Prologue, Home Normal, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings, and several live performances at Mutek, a new …
IX TAB
*100 copies limited edition* Ix Tab is an album dedicated to the mysterious Mayan deity, goddess of ropes and snares, and patroness of those who hang themselves.

Surface Disorder
Multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, and scene creator, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, has been releasing music under various guises for two decades. With the successes of his moniker HHY (Nyege Nyege Tapes) whether in symbiosis with The Kampala Unit or the syncopationophilic big band of The Macumbas, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha's sonic signature continues to grow more and more singular. Ever synthetic and digital, Uliel Saldanha's work-ethic never eases—having recently started a label of his own, Horror…
We Do Recover
We Do Recover, the new album from Powell and his first album proper on his own Diagonal Records, is a vitalising record of recovery and a statement of reassurance. The music is intensely emotional and lean, and forms a uniquely expressive story that opens up new ground in the artists's bizarre continuum of synthesised sound — this time triggered by experiences of grief and addiction.
The suicide of one of his life-long friends in 2024 was a life-changing loss which eternally altered Powell's lif…
