Digla Dive - Live is an…
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…
Neuer Mensch
The continuously edited, autonomous piece of code as which Atom™ defines itself enters the hot state of flow. »Neuer Mensch« (»new human«) is the relentless, visceral expression of metamorphosis. A projection of the metahuman horizon, an exercise in shedding the exoskeleton. Dead tissue is being torn off in radical body movements. Dead ideas are crushed by feet, dancing the dance of brutal elegance. Somatic exorcism via hyper realistic surfaces of binary noise. Physicality. Unseen geometries dre…
Corporate Cross
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* E-saggila - an enigmatic cult producer in electronics constructing soaring calm from dynamic turbulence as the era of domesticated destruction and creation arrives. Conceived by iraqi-born, canadian sound artist Rita Mikhael, E-saggila has quickly established itself as an unapologetic presence in superseding divisionism in underground music. With prior crucial releases on northern electronics and bank records, the project quickly gained attention among th…
Hypnagogia
Borne of mutual inspiration, legendary duo Dopplereffekt and sonic adventurer Objekt present Hypnagogia, a split 12" on Leisure System, with each transmission derived from a shared journey into extrasensory perception and subconscious thought.
Tetrahymena
*2022 stock.* Detroit enigma Dopplereffekt has been resurrected, emerging from a grave of jagged detritus and technotrash for their first release since 2007. Whether in the ethereal voices and plunging bass of title track “Tetrahymena,” the unidentified flying objects droning maliciously in the thunderous weapon “Gene Silencing,” or the retch and hiss of arpeggiated bad trip “Zygote,” it’s a transportive journey of dread as only Dopplereffekt can create.
Cellular Automata
*2022 stock.* Cellular Automata is the new album from Dopplereffekt (Rudolf Klorzeiger and To-Nhan), their first in ten years since 2007’s Calabi Yau Space on Rephlex.Cellular Automata approaches mathematical growth and decay as an iterative process, with each data input considered individually relative to the overall model. The result represents one of the group’s boldest creative endeavors, defying expectations while remaining unmistakably Dopplereffekt.Cellular Automata is the third Doppleref…
Neurotelepathy
Who controls the mind controls the body. After three years of experimentation in isolation, Dopplereffekt have emerged with Neurotelepathy, an oracular narrative of cerebral entanglement and advancement. The sleek mathematical models of 2017’s Cellular Automata have evolved into these synaptic interpretations, transferences and modifications, rejecting binary expectations to meditate on the possibilities and pitfalls of what’s to come. With their second LP and fifth release in total on Leisure …

Second Woman is a fully realized entity; a well-crafted …
Itsame
On his sophomore album “Itsame” on FILM, Brainwaltzera navigates the turbulent waters of personal crossroads with cautious optimism for an uncertain future. Drawing comparisons with his debut full-length "Poly-Ana", an equally introspective album that explores broader conceptual themes, the artist hesitantly describes the new record as a very personal affair. Acting as a kind of “journal” of the last four years of his life, each of the 17 tracks directly relate to events and experiences that tra…
Poly-Ana
*2022 stock.* Brainwaltzeras debut LP Poly-ana follows quickly on the heels of the producers Aescoba EP also released this year via FILM. Across thirteen tracks of both previously released material and fresh excursions into the artists world, Brainwaltzera explores sounds ranging from luscious, downtempo grooves and expertly reduced braindance cuts with nods to early 90's experimental IDM to harder, more caustic outings all bound together by a recurring theme of otherworldly ambience. Taking its…
Eidolon. A Tribute To Reutoff
*2022 stock.* Reutoff tribute compilation! For those (few) who don't know Reutoff : they are one of the more prominent and intriguing Russian post-pndustrial ambient projects.

Most of the contributors created their tracks using original Reutoff material, some of them were just inspired by Reutoff's…
Oscilloghost
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock. Limited edition of 60 copies.* A rare example of gamekeeper turned poacher? Lee Pylon is the curator and presenter of the excellent Kites And Pylons radio show, but has recently crossed the barricades to produce a welter of impressive electronica in his own right. And these two new albums showcase differing sides to his take on minimalist, radiophonic composition. So Nagasaki Collapse Team is a measured reaction to the dystopia of 2020, with the bleak austeri…
Solid State Memories
*In process of stocking.* Author and musician Rupert Lally composed an original soundtrack to accompany his 2021 science fiction novella ‘Solid State Memories’. Drawing on influences such as Trent Reznor and John Carpenter’s soundtrack works, Lally made use of a vast array of vintage synth equipment and keyboards.

The Ektachrome Dawn
The second release on Tonight’s Dream Records is delivered by Baltimore-based ambient and new-school Kosmische guitar musician PJ Dorsey, better known as Tarotplane. The Ektachrome Dawn follows on from the stunning Horizontology (12th Isle) and Light Self All Others (Impatience). He describes the album as a collage of work collated since 2017. Drawing in on inspirations from guitar-oriented psych and modern ambient music, using elements he values and revere in older 70’s head records and mixes i…
Silent Planet
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* Conceived and composed in two days, 'Silent Planet' is Brendan's first attempt at a fully continuous piece of music. Normally, albums under his Merrin Karras guise take many months, if not years, to put together:
"I wanted to challenge myself to create a mini-album in a short amount of time, not to think too much about it, but just to let it flow and see what happened. Everything was created in one project, but it's comprised of six distinct sections. Several mot…
The Homeland Of Electricity
*In process of stocking.* The second album for the DiN imprint by British Electronic Musician Scanner sees Rimbaud utilising a different toolset from his first album, An Ascent (DiN63), released in July 2020. Here he focuses in on several Elektron instruments such as the Analog Four, Analog Rhythm and Digitakt. Whilst his debut album was forged live in his studio during the start of the global pandemic here Rimbaud was after a lighter, more optimistic tone. Rather prophetically Rimbaud states th…
