Roche
**Limited Edition of 300** We are both pleased and proud to be releasing a new album by Mayerling, “Roche”. More than five years have gone by since we collaborated with the talented musician behind the project, Sylvain Bombled - who, like HITD itself, hails from Besançon, France - and put out his first brilliant album “Cut up”. It’s more electronic and bold than the first album... less traditional, more adventurous. The guitar has given way to synths and other analogue sequencers. As for the vo…
Robert Piotrowicz / Carl Michael Von Hausswolff
Edition of 200. Two creative and sound arty musicians are paired together here on this split LP from Poland’s Bocian label. Robert Piotrowicz gives us some intense analog synth-work, with overlapping pulse and tone action that’ll blast you. Carl Michael Von Hausswolff goes with subtle, quieter noise works that are all about explorations of texture. Great stuff on both sides of this highly limited LP.
Domestic Economy
The playful confidence that exudes Finlay Shakespeare's practice is flagrantly laid out on Domestic Economy, his extraordinary debut full-length. Domestic Economy displays two eventful sides evidencing the unique musical approach Shakespeare has developed in such a short period of time. Let's get some facts straight, Finlay is young. And talented. His programming skills belie his years and one can detect a sharp appreciation of historical electronic pop whilst simultaneously developing a canny u…
Huellas Entreveradas

Amethyst Glory
"Cyprus 1982. A family holiday that would turn out to have a big impact on me. Visiting my grandparents on their sailing boat home the 'Amethyst Glory' and seeing the very real possibilities of adventure and self exploration at such a young age planted deep rooted seeds which I am only just beginning to understand. My beautiful family the Houghtons, you made me. This is for you."Simon Houghton aka Sneaky is a Manchester born and bred cellist, bass player, arranger, composer and DJ operating out …
Ingrid
Klara Lewis comes into her own with the furling melancholic loops and raging despair of "Ingrid", recalling Steve Reich’s phasing inventions worn out by Basinski, or the way her stark native landscape manifests in black metal.
Cairo Primo
"Cairo Primo" is Alberto Boccardi's third solo album and his comeback since 2014 "Fingers" (Cassauna / Important Rec). After several collaborations and releases along these years, Alberto emerges with his personal memories of the time spent in the Egyptian Metropolis. Past and present merge into mystery. Tension and calmness become energy.
Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds
Oscillatorial Binnage's "Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds" is an 11-track album of post-digital, post-electronic music. The recordings are deeply acoustic - no electronic processing features anywhere. The sounds are produced by the experimental manipulation of repurposed recycled objects subjected to electromagnetic force fields. The 'infinite world of the real' offers up richly unpredictable effects, with fields of vibration producing psychoacoustic flourishes, along with spontaneous, arbitra…
Kamilhan, il y a Péril en la Demeure

Fauli Til Dauli
Tip! - Daily Fauli was the rare minimal synth project of Danish artist Søren Fauli. In 1983, he released one album entitled Fauli Til Dauli on a small label called Gry Records. Søren was nineteen when he recorded this masterpiece and had no prior musical training. He had been playing in punk bands as a teenager and decided to break off to make a solo record. With access to stolen equipment, mainly synthesizers, he wrote these songs very spontaneously and recorded them in a period of one week. He…

Tierbeobachtungen
Faitiche presents Jan Jelinek’s album "Tierbeoachtungen" in a limited pressing on vinyl for the first time. Originally released on Scape in 2006 as a CD, the album’s six tracks took their cues from Jelinek’s live concerts of that period: dense, slowly unfolding loop improvisations made with a laptop, various effect pedals and miniature synthesizers. It is music that floats in a semi-conscious state between dream and awakening, always slightly mysterious, leaving traces that lead directly to the …

Upside Down Smile
Knockout punch of computer music noise and hardcore techno razz from Ewa Justka, a catalytic figure on the live algorithmic coding circuit.
Solemnities
Finlay Shakespeare is a freak. With this, his second album for Mego Editions, he confirms this. As a one man band it often strikes the listener as bewildering that he can do all this; the programming sits firmly in the realms of genius, the constant punch of melody upon melody leaves a pleasant sting of surprise and as a lyric writer there’s a part of his moniker that seems apt.
Muzak Pour Ascenceurs En Panne
Uniting cosmic tones and lovely notes, unique sound collages and electronic noises, Muzak Pour Ascenseurs En Panne ("Muzak for Broken Lifts"), Brigitte Barbu’s first album, explores a dreamy universe, at the crossroads of electronica and the '70s post-tune-in/drop-out, echoing shadows of the peculiar doppelgänger; Pépé Bradock.
Polymeter
Chris Korda’s new album Polymeter is unique as entirely composed in complex polymeter sequences, a unique way to compose music with a new generation of algorithm, inside which Chris injects DNA of neo classical, ambient and jazz music. This refreshing album will please both those who are into complex musical composition, conceptual music and who are just seeking for a beautiful, emotional and accessible, unique, musical moment. This is a “In your hearts not the charts” album, as Irdial Discs onc…
