Planos para Construir
*50 copies limited edition, white cover version* 'During the second half of 2019 I contacted some people that write or create with the use of words and sent them music in order for them to create or add a text. There were opportunities in which some of us could create in the same physical space, but also much part of the process happend remotely. The music gave the writers a space, and in it, each of them added the text and recorded their voices in the tracks. After some mutual feedback, a piece…
Perils In The Slums Scenario Three: The Maze Of Death
*100 coipes limited edition* Welcome to the third and final episode of the Perils in the slums saga!

They then decide to return to the city sewers, re-cross the orcs' hideout and try if, as they think, the key opens the mysterious trapdoor. Obviously it works! They will get access in a new le…

We also know that the convoy, which we assume is under the Count's command, left Belgrade yesterday and that he set out through the Morava valley to the south. We do not know the further intentions or the dest…

Milano: Difesa Anti-atomica
*60 copies limited edition* A few months ago the tranquility of Heimat Der Katastrophe headquarters was broken by an astonishing find: poking through the garbage, we came across a tape of dark recordings dating back to a period between the 80s and 90s.

Between the late 70s and the late 90s, a lot of private TV stations…

Last Live
This edition was produced and finalized in a particular context, Mika Vainio having left us on 12.04.2017. This material is the last concert he gave. It took place at Cave12 on 02.02.2017.

In order to work on this material, we asked Carl Michael von Hausswolff to do the editing. He extended the invitation to Stephen …

Surface Ego
*In process of stocking* Second Sleep presents Surface Ego by Lettera 22. Lettera 22 a project from Riccardo Mazza and Matteo Castro wich borns in the deep north east of Italy. Influenced by the contest of their everyday living in a place compressed between countries, mountains and factories, their sight points directly to men, machines, fields. Really dinamic structures composed by tape loops, field recordings and feedbacks are destroyed by a violent muscular manipulation. What was concrete b…
Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil
A totally unexpected and absorbing side of electro-acoustic-jazz and dark electronics from this new 8 piece ensemble; reaching into bass depths and pop dimensions via microscopic miniature sounds and widescreen vistas. A huge recommendation if you’re into Supersilent, Arve Henriksen, Deathprod, Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, Luigi Nono, Rashad Becker!

The Wanderer

Part II, "Dance," demonstrates the sharp accenting power of the accordion bellows in a mixture of cross rhythms characteristic of jigs, reels, batucadas, Bulgars, Klezmer fo…

This bundle includes Mecanica Popular's first two albums as reissued by Wah Wah Records:¿Qué Sucede Con el Tiempo? (LP, 1984)Recorded over the course of 4 years during late-night, afterhours sessions at RCA's Studio @ Calle Carlos Maurrás in Madrid (one of Spain's best and bigger studio around that time), it was the result of the duo's interest in unorthodox sound-sources which they manipulated in a sort proto-sampling collage technique based on random tape-loops and best heard in their original…
