No Mathematics
Hailing from Geel, Jef Mertens has been researching, documenting and subtly exploring the experimental music scene in Belgium and beyond for the better part of two decades. As a filmmaker, he’s dug deep in the realm of Flemish primitive fringe (Dronevolk) and chronicled the makings of giants like Sonic Youth and Borbetomagus. After running the now-defunct free tape label Dadaist Tapes, Mertens comes with a release of his own: No Mathematics, the first record collab between KRAAK and Feeding Tube…
Eidetic
American singer-songwriter, poet, and photographer Thomas Meluch, known musically as Benoît Pioulard, returns with his most structured and vocal release to date. Titled »Eidetic,« a word denoting the ability to recall mental images with extraordinarily rich precision, the album presents unprecedented clarity and vitality for Benoît Pioulard. To access its thematic ground, Meluch looked inward with an affinity towards the people he loves during a period marked by his move from Seattle to Brooklyn…
Forget The Curse
"Troth is unknown colours, mist-soaked dreamscapes, strange misshapen cities belonging to forgotten lands. Troth is also a pop duo, though not of the kind nowadays subjugated by the algorithm. Forget the Curse is the group’s best demonstration yet that somewhere in the murky fields between song and sound, there is a lot of untilled soil. There are elements from previous recordings here: the diaphanous synth-pop of Oak Corridor; the bleary hypnagogic ambience of Flaws in the Glass and Small Movem…
Hidden Parasites
*100 copies limted edition. In process of stocking* "Hidden Parasites is a collection of electronic pieces pretty minimal and simple for those I tried to conserve the intensity of harsh and abrasive noise and the subtlety and narrativity of electroacoustic compositions. Hidden Parasites is an immersive work into subtle high feedbacks, destroyed samples, bass drones and weird raw recordings. It’s not meditative, but all the tracks explore modulation and change into a range of long durations where…
Draw Agreement
*200 copies limted edition.* A spatiotemporal synthesis of Coppice’s auditory and musical experiments (2009-2022) with custom, prepared, and modified musical instruments. This 3CD set abridges Coppice’s first three studies, artificially inserts them into the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, WI, and binaurally captures their diffusion across Elastic’s CLEAT (Chicago Laboratory for Electroacoustic Theatre), a 16-channel 96-speaker sound system.

Ἡσυχασμός
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "These two pieces were recorded in Paris in December of 2017 at the request of Banned Productions who then released them as a cassette. However, only very few copies of the tape were made and distributed, which is the reason for this new edition, mastered for the occasion by Paul Lavigne at Kontrast Mastering. The cover drawing was copied by hand from the original cover art and screen-printed by Charlotte at ZYX Éditions (Bretoncelles, Basse …
Nona 10''
Tip! *10" clear vinyl version* "Nona" takes inspiration from a case of xenoglossy - the ability to speak in an unlearned and unheard foreign language, often associated with past-life recall, states of trance or hypnosis and mediumship - discovered in Great Britain around the early Thirties when a woman in state of trance expressed herself in a language which was recognized as ancient egyptian. This voice from the past was called "Nona" or "The One Without a Name". The music has obviously much in…

Foundation
Tip! "Foundation" contains remastered and re-worked versions of the Amon first CD "Amon" (1996) and of the ultra-rare "Mer" CDr (2000 - originally printed in less than 200 copies). Wondering why Amon is widely considered a dark ambient legend? This double CD will show you why... You'll find no deeper nor darker ambient anywhere else."I think I can see them now: people in the immediate future, reviewing this double set just after it's out and writing down dark ambient as if it was the most proper…
The Innermost Legacy
Tip! Dark Ambient with unearthly and ghostly melodies + unidentified sound sources. “The Innermost Legacy” is an expanded and completely remastered new press of Amon’s 1999 CD album “The Legacy”.

*200 copies limited edition.* At the same time, together with "News From Wormland" another, tenth part of the GT Archive Series is being relesed. As next chapter is a recording of the "White Nights" session, originally released on CDR by Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk in 2003. It is considered by many to be one of the best albums in the Genetic Transmission discography. Dynamic, electrifying and strong material in the spirit of musique concrète. It is based largely on electroacoustic preparations …
News From Wormland
*200 copies limted edition. In process of stocking* After a longer break, we return to the GT Archive Series, in which we release those Genetic Transmission materials that were previously released mainly on quite fragile CDR media which are practically unavailable today.

In many …
Sorry Gold
*300 copies limited edition.* We present a new studio album from Gintas K. The artist in cooperation with Michelle O'Rourke and Emily Aoibheann composed and recorded music for Performance "Sorry Gold". In order to best present the subject and character of this interdisciplinary art, we will use the words of the author herself: "If aerial is the dance of industrial technology, what will the dance of biotechnology be? This new work reinvigorates performance as a living and speculative environmenta…
Artwork 51
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Artwork 51" is the second album for Zoharum, a group formed by musicians known from the Rapoon, Pas Musique and Promute projects (also previously released by our label). The intercontinental trio consistently continues and develops its formula of psychedelic electronics, using quite similar instruments and sound objects. Just like on the "Welcome to Graceland" album, you can hear echoes of music close to the achievements of Cluster, Deuter or…
Skulls On The Plains Of Turkey
*100 copies limited edition.* On the latest album, Robin Storey once again invites us to a musical journey closer to the exotic world of the Orient, sparkling with many delicately woven miniatures, based on fragments of melodies, heard as if in the deep sleep phase, when sounds and images reaching us from a distance gently fill the space, giving the impression of an integral part of it. Out of nine tracks filled with tribal rhythms, vocals and a wide palette of colors, an extremely coherent, sli…
Early Electronic Works - Caustic / Composite
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking. 2023 stock* 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 y…
Compositions
Oslo’s Deathprod (aka Helge Sten) announces Compositions, his new album out January 27th on Smalltown Supersound, and presents its lead single/video, “Composition 1.” The first new Deathprod studio project since 2019’s Occulting Disk—“a mesmerizing, terrifying, and emotionally nuanced ‘anti-fascist ritual’ of an album” (Pitchfork)—Compositions is the result of an intense period at his legendary Audio Virus Lab studio in central Oslo. All tracks are released in chronological order – in other word…
A Wanderer
*100 copies limited edition. Through its anthropological themes and fragmented process, 'A Wanderer' reflects on the imperfection of life itself, with its music existing somewhere between a series of recent recollections, and the frayed fabric of past lives.
Electrons
*200 copies limited edition.* As the theory of the atom, quantum mechanics is perhaps the most successful theory in the history of science. It enables physicists, chemists, and technicians to calculate and predict the outcome of a vast number of experiments and to create new and advanced technology based on the insight into the behaviour of atomic objects. But it is also a theory that challenges our imagination. It seems to violate some fundamental principles of classical physics, principles tha…
