Disarmo o Sterminio?
Tip! From the dusty archives of a TV station, a handful of instrumental pieces, originally recorded as musical commentary for a series of historical documentaries.

Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close
Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri’s partnership unfolded serendipitously at the sold-out opening of the SoundSet Series at Madrid's Condeduque cultural center in 2023 - a program that featured performances by legends such as Autechre and younger artists like Caterina Barbieri and KMRU. The duo's encore that evening, recorded for Spain's Radio 3, resonated deeply with the audience, igniting a creative spark that propelled them to work remotely in their respective studios. At the heart of thei…
Unleashed Volume Ten
Big Tip! Though Toronto's Lorde Awesome formed in 2008, and have many full length recordings, 'Unleashed Volume 10' is their first ever LP release.

Flatworm Mysticism
“It is wrong to say: I think. Better to say: I am thought. I is an other. So what if a piece of wood discovers it is a violin, and the hell with those who can’t realize, who quibble over something they know nothing about… For I is an other. If brass wakes as a bugle, it is not its fault at all. That is quite clear to me: I am a spectator at the flowering of my thought: I watch it, I listen to it: I draw a bow across a string: a symphony stirs in the depths, or surges onto the stage.” - Arthur Ri…
Dohnavùr//Kl(aüs)
"Early 2022: I started to get a few tracks in from Dohnavùr (Edinburgh) and Kl(aüs (Sydney). “This is what we’re working on, but the album’s not ready yet.” I had an idea. Let’s open the portal between Edinburgh and Sydney and let two of Castles in Space’s longest standing artists loose on each other’s tracks and see what we get. The idea being, original track, remix, flip, original track, remix, flip. I’m happy to be able to report, the experiment worked. We got something very special indeed. T…

The White Arcades
*2024 stock* A classic Harold Budd album originally released in 1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins studio with production help from Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, 'The White Arcades' effortless blend of glistening synths, limpid piano notes, foggy textures and space result in a beautiful contemplative whole.
“Although its aura is ethereal and unworldly, Budd's music is actually an exemplary form of humanly useful music. When the mundane urgencies of life, or the nonsense of our political c…

Ample Habitat

Lines
"Lines was born from the desire to take where I’ve left it with 'Fleeting Future' and go a bit more horizontal and ambient. Work with layers of lines, whether they be dotted or straight, and leave them to unfold and see where they would take me." — Akusmi “ ‘Secant’, I must have listened to this tune 3 times in a row, this one soundtracked my night drive through the winding roads” – Benji B, BBC Radio 1 London based composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Akusmi announces ‘Lines’, an exhila…
