Eight Pieces For The Buchla 100 Series
2021release ** The historic Buchla 100 series modular synthesizer was buit by Don Buchla in California in early 1960´s. An instrument intended for electronic music performance that together with the Moog Modular is one of the most important synthesizers in the history of electronic music. One of the few still fully functional Buchla 100 synthesizer can be found at the Ernst Krenek Institut in Krems, Austria. During an artist-in residency program, Mario Verandi explored the endless sound possibil…
Crisis Make Up!
"On ‘Crisis Make Up!’ the long awaited second album from Slaylor Moon, we draw deeper into the intimate sonic world of Canadian musician Sydney Koke. This time, her sensual minimalism and disjointed abstraction is even more striking as she addresses one of the most fundamental quandaries of electronic music - that of the human agent and its presence in the synthetic world of the machine. The choice to eschew computerised arrangements in favour of physical gestures - be it pushing keys, buttons, …
Nachtfahrt
*150 copies limited edition* Here CON presents an uneasy experimental piece exploring obscure liquid sonic realms and their contents. Schnitzler continues to take the familiar and transform it into something unrecognizably warped. Nachtfahrt is a deeply hypnotic album. CON guides this grim tale through numerous moods, CONveying a transition from dreamy weightlessness to noir tension.
LichtPunkte
*150 copies limited edition* LichtPunkte is a dense work, enhanced by inventive arrangements and powerful narrative ideas so abundant that the album could serve as a launchpad for several more works. There are spaces filled with melodies that float and hover, and there are layers that are intricate and full of forward movement. CON's drive and focused creative energy make this work an outstanding example of the 'Berlin Kosmische Schule'.
Synthesized Voices
DINTE reissues Charles Dodge’s 1976 LP collection of synthesised speech music, 1972-1975. Using mainframe computers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Dodge analysed and dismantled audio recordings of surrealist poetry by Mark Strand, mathematically and meticulously reconstructing them in synthetic form, resulting in these uncanny, landmark pieces that spearheaded early computer speech synthesis as a form for musical composition.
Historical Distractions
A collection from the decomposition years1991-94 taken from the releases Historical, Rules of the Game, Inside Agitator, Cancer & Distraction. Curated by Andy Ortmann & Daniel Burke. Cover concept Andy Insert Hiroshima side: DB. legend side: Jim Sincock Remastered by Andrew Weathers in 2024 All music by Daniel Burke based on sequencer constructions and 12 bit sampling.

In Electric Time
*Alt cover art edition* On June 29th, 2023, Jeremiah Chiu walked into the Vintage Synthesizer Museum (VSM) in Highland Park, Los Angeles, with no plan more specific than “let’s fire this stuff up and see what happens.” Exploring the VSM’s vast collection of classic, rare and staple synthesizers, he would sequence, trigger, and layer the machines together with help from VSM founder/curator Lance Hill. Hill recalls: "Jeremiah arrived before the engineer showed up. We talked for maybe 5 minutes bef…

SLG3
On SLG3, Juan Manuel Cidrón returns to vinyl with four long-form electronic landscapes shaped by analogue circuitry, minimal pulse and cosmic drift. The Almería synthesist turns S, L, G and 3 into open territories - desert-wide, elemental and quietly visionary - where natural rhythm and machine logic meet in a patient, dream-lit dialogue.
Air De Rien
*2026 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Air De Rien, because it is not nothing all these small tunes in the air... This double vinyl is shared - each one its face - by four musicians or groups who each traces in watermark an original line of conduct, soft and harsh, off the beaten tracks.
A lot of purity in this project - and in these four achievements - in those times of useless filling. Music and visuals are discreet, a fine black and white, like the engraving of this psychedelic pseudo-brain…
Capacity
*200 copies limited edition* Rather inspiringly, Billy Gomberg is experiencing a career peak in his second decade of composition and improvisation. Through a practice that is humble and rigorous in equal measure, he has issued work with Students of Decay and Dinzu Artefacts alongside numerous self-released editions that document his evolving approach to modular synthesis. Though Gomberg has recently shared many longform recordings, capacity, his first proper album in four years, finds him zeroin…
Öd
After nearly a decade away, Black Forest collective Institut für Feinmotorik return on Faitiche with Öd: eight prepared turntables, no records, coaxing music from rubber bands, foil and junk. Dubby loops and howling static drift into a scrap-metal Dixieland haze, with word-molecule track titles by poet Dagmara Kraus.
Channel Some Angst
The first thing that should strike any attentive listener of Gary Mundy’s work as Kleistwahr is that this new collection of nine songs features drums on the opening two tracks. Combining a manic rhythm with searing white noise, a post-punk guitar chopping angular sounds like it belongs to the debut Banshees’ album, and despairing vocals, ‘Cold Blood Cold Night’ sets the tone for most of the album. While not every song is bound to this same pulverising beat at its core, there’s a lot of untamed n…
KWALK
Wah Wah Wino's Davy Kehoe, Morgan Buckley and Olmo are joined by avant legend Roger Doyle, among others, on a delectably brilliant, 54 minute collage teased together over the past 3 years. Dont miss this!!!!
The Vanity Project
Like a fractured reflection, images appear distorted and incomplete. A series of fragments revealing influences, methods, and decisions where life and work remain inseparable. Moving through the residual noise of contemporary media space, Christian Stadsgaard draws from social media remnants, dark web transmissions, and untreated human sound. These elements are processed through noise electronics and tape manipulation, collapsing source and signal.
’The Vanity Project’ is constructed as a dense,…
Talking in a Different Way
Talking in a Different Way is the debut full-length release of sachi’s mirror, the creative alias of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Shaina Pan. Melding disparate elements of ambient, electronic, dream-pop, and avant-garde classical, Pan beckons us into sonic worlds equally enigmatic and emotive. Across a collection of self-produced songs and vignettes that began to take form during a month-long residency in Vallejo, CA in the spring of 2025, she explores a theme of constant and qu…
Psychick Youth
I’ve not thought about Psychick Youth for a long time, the anti cult cult, but the reality is I had a great time and met a lot of good people, many of whom I’m still in touch with today. Left in the hands of others who just weren’t there, people jumped on the gravy train and ultimately failed to answer any questions. Failed books and failed documentaries followed, where the main priority seemed to be taking the money and hoping for the best, kinda sad really.
The press described it as: “Thee Tem…
Blak Saagan bundle
Two records, ten sides, one argument. Blak Saagan's Se Ci Fosse La Luce Sarebbe Bellissimo and Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni read as the same book at two magnifications, and this bundle pairs them for the first time: the long overdue repress of the 2021 double LP alongside the triple album that answers it.
The first takes a single captivity and maps it in detail. Every title attaches to the 1978 kidnapping of the former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades: the fifty-four days, …
Momentaufnahme II
Momentaufnahme II extends Faust’s recent excavation of their 1971–1974 archive, presenting a second volume of unheard and under‑heard material from the Wümme years. Compiled from recordings that didn’t make it onto the mammoth 1971–1974 (50 Years of Faust) eight‑LP box, this collection functions not as an outtakes bin but as a parallel narrative: how Faust sounded when the tape kept rolling between “official” takes, and how their anarchic, avant‑rock mission permeated even the most fragmentary e…
Release the Beast
Release the Beast marks CV Vision’s sixth studio album and his most gleefully hybrid statement to date, a follow‑up to Im Tal der Stutzer that turns genre fusion into its main organising principle. Rooted in an adventurous krautrock spirit, Berlin‑based Denis Schulze (CV Vision) treats psych rock, Detroit techno, distorted synthesizers, black metal and library music not as separate territories but as colours on the same palette. The record unfolds as a wild, cross‑style trip where meandering gui…
