Symmetry Systems
** Limited edition 160 gram transparent blue vinyl** 'Symmetry Systems' is the new EP by Dennis Huddleston AKA 36. Inspired by Warp's 'Artificial Intelligence' releases from the early 90's, it's a melodic, synthesiser-driven record, with a wink to the past and a nod towards the future.
"I have a deep love for those early Warp albums, particularly the Artificial Intelligence compilations. It was a wonderful time for UK electronic music. That beautiful, warm machine sound, with an optimistic (if …
This is Tomorrow
"Band Of Cloud’s David Owen has previous. Hailing from Leeds, he knocked about with Soft Cell early doors, hoovered up 80s synthpop, got distracted by The Sisters Of Mercy, formed The Hollow Men, dropped out for a couple of decades and popped back up in 2011 with the utterly brilliant ‘We Know Where The Time Goes’ by The FLK – a folk version of The KLF’s ‘Chill Out’. Yes, it’s as great as that sounds. Judging by all that, ‘This Is Tomorrow’ should be good. David reveals that the first album he b…
Remnants Series Vol. I-VIII
*In process of stocking. 80 copies limited edition* Past Inside The Present co-founder Isaac Helsen - a multi-disciplinary artist from Michigan, creating photography and paintings as well as music - in action on this double cassette alone after a string of collaborations with labelmate 36 and fellow label co-founder zake. Helsen's sound works on a grand (electronically) orchestral scale at times, the proverbial cathedrals of sound coming to mind, at others (see 'Duniskwalgunyi') understated and …
Misty Memories
*Limited edition* Regular collaborator with label boss zake, City of Dawn teams up with From Overseas, an aptly named producer based on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. The result is classic Past Inside The Present - quivering, celestial ambient music that would fit into the drone category if it weren't for the fact it's constantly, subtly changing and evolving almost imperceptibly. Utterly horizontal in attitude, utterly heavenly in realisation, this is a corker even by PITP's very high stan…
Paréidolie
*Limited Edition of 300 copies.* Three years after Pergélisol/Chorémanie, their first diptych album crossing post-punk radicalism and minimalist ambition, the quartet named after Maria Spelterini (an Italian tightrope walker who crossed the Niagara Falls on a wire several times in 1876) released a second record that transcends this delicate aesthetic balance and navigates well beyond/below rock and electronics. When Pierre-Antoine Parois, Arthur de La Grandière (members of Papier Tigre), Meriade…

Significant Soil
West Mineral return with a followup to Mister Water Wet’s 2019’s subtropical ambient slow-burn debut ‘Bought the Farm’, expanding Iggy Romeu’s horizons to contrast feverish Afro-Caribbean ambient jazz with jaunty illbient and atmospheric freakouts. Low-lit heat that’s highly recommended if yr into Nick León, Carlos Niño, Kelman Duran, Gonçalo F. Cardoso. Mister Water Wet continues to excavate the tropical soundscapes that simmer the producer’s Kansas City home with his Puerto Rican roots, on a n…
The Crackdown
2022 Re-press on limited edition Curacao colour vinyl * Stone cold classic Cabaret Voltaire from 1983, resplendent in a new master, and framing the band getting electro-funky after the departure of Chris Watson - a huge influence on everyone from Ministry and NIN to Mark Fell and even early Goa types ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music. As th…
Micro-Phonies
* 2022 Re-press on limited edition Curacao colour vinyl * Remastered edition of the Cabs’ 1985 classic, newly cut in ’22 and coiled with template-setting sampler and machine funk that would spawn a wave of imitators. “Known for being the harder, more experimental album of their “Pop” period, ‘The Covenant, The Sword and The Arm of The Lord’ was originally released in 1985 and includes the classic ‘I Want You’. The album embodys Cabarets Voltaire’s industrial electro-funk sound and their punk et…
The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord
* 2022 Re-press on limited edition white colour vinyl * Remastered (from original tapes) reissue of The Cabs' 7th studio album, originally released in 1985. ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music. As these things (still) go, the album would really strike a nerve with US industrial audiences, effectively reframing and selling back their own funk, …

Wildness
Lighting flashes through the ether and rain whips the earth violently. From the innermost depths, the pale of candles, a constancy. A midnight torrent overflows and marks time in solitude. The cold air searches, sewing through the ground, slowly changing and irresolute, nothing is lost. Paths are drawn contorted by fierce winds that traverse the ground in uncertain times and places. Oreder flows through chaos, every step of the spiral is forever surging and altered, yet everlasting. In a space, …

I'll Look For You In Others
I’ll Look for You in Others is the bittersweet fruit of a painful time in the Portland, Oregon, electronic musician’s life. Patricia Wolf wrote and recorded the album in 2020, in the aftermath of losing her mother-in-law to cancer and then, months later, losing a close friend. Created using her habitual materials—synthesizer and voice—in unfamiliar ways, the album served as a means of processing her feelings of heartbreak.
Feeling disconnected from everything around her, including her usual appr…
