Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon
Tip! The most beautiful thing we’ve ever released? It is virtually impossible to describe with mere words how emotionally powerful this work of art is. Just listen. Listen, listen, listen... A blissed-out 80-minute epic, Hatchback's Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is his magnum opus, a sprawling masterwork that encompasses ambient, new age and environmental music to wondrous effect. Moving, hypnotic and deeply meditative, it's FFO Mike Brooks, Deuter, Klaus Weiss, Innovative Communicat…
Sorry! We Did Something Wrong
The debut album by Moscow brothers Sasha and Sergey Lipsky, three years in the making: psychedelic pop with flutes, cello, sitar and synths in place of their usual dance tracks, with guests from Iggor Cavalera to C.A.R.
Joskussaaret

Konoma
Konoma by Takuro Okada is an evocative exploration of musical identity informed by Afro-American traditions and a Japanese artisanal spirit. With eight tracks that weave intricate guitar textures, this album reflects Okada’s meditation on cultural connection and the possibilities of stylistic fusion, pushing boundaries in contemporary instrumental music.​
Resonance of Time
Electronic lullabies and folk songs from Ethiopia! A landmark recording from Ethiopia’s vibrant cassette era of the 1980s, Resonance of Time features pioneering composer Wesenyeleh Mebreku reimagining Ethiopian folk melodies through the humble circuitry of an early Casiotone keyboard. Historically, the works featured on Resonance of Time (የጊዜ ቃና Yegizie Kana) stand as quiet documents of Ethiopian musical memory. Many of the original songs included in this release emerged during important moments…
Spiritually Unemployed
*Much needed repress!!* Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel drag…
A Thousand Machines Can't Make A Flower
*70 copies limited edition* A collection by Peruvian visual artist Jonathan Castro between 2024–26 at home studios while living in Amsterdam, then Rotterdam, NL. The compositions were made using various synthesizers, samplers, electronic percussion, congas, and an array of effects pedals. Knackered out salsas, looped up and chucked down into a custom dub chamber. Given his background living in music, listening to music, and in music — the regional rhythms on display are not a surprise. It seems …
Ghost Signs
fluXus returns to CiS with a beautiful new album entitled 'Ghost Signs'. fluXus is Cornwall based artist Nigel Rushbrook. Born on the same day as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Alistair Crowley, Nigel lives and records in a cottage once owned by Sargeant Howie AKA Edward Woodward. 'Ghost Signs' brings some darker shades of ambience and classic electronic sounds, with Berlin School style sequencing and a retro sensibility. Nigel uses vintage analog and virtual synths and old-school effects. Nostalgic…
Flying Dreams
Spencer Clark returns as Monopoly Child with five electronic sound paintings inspired by Rome's Villa Borghese gardens: distorted voices, transformed bells and luminous synthesizers as a manual of levitation magic.
What is a Body
Yes, your eyes tell you the truth – this is the first new record by Zero Kama released since 2008 live vinyl! During these 16 years Zoe Dewitt was active with book publishing, Zero Kama and Korpses Katatonic reissues, lectures, scientific research, exhibitions, and rare but bright live shows. However, most of us have forgotten our dreams of seeing new releases of Zero Kama. Originally, "What is a Body" is the 50-minute background soundtrack for Zoe Dewitt's lecture performance in the anatomical …
The Ape of Naples
** Black Vinyl Edition. 3 LP Deluxe Hardcover ** Deeply emotional and uniquely rewarding album, reminiscent of Coil's mid-1980s classic “Horse Rotorvator”. Fully remastered and enhanced 3LP/2CD supervised by Danny Hyde. Includes 9 additional rare or unreleased tracks, remastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Jessica Thompson. Originally released in 2005 and in many ways the band’s ultimate swan song, it is now considered one of the go-to albums for introducing new listeners to the unparalleled ma…
Amulet
The music released as Amulet (or The Amulet Edition) is Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson's semi-secret testament. Originally available in exceedingly limited quantities at live shows and via direct mail-order in 2008 as a hand-assembled 4 miniCDR set housed in a circular Thai Amulet case and never properly distributed, the material finally receives the wider re-release on vinyl and CD it so richly deserves. Only the second and sadly already the final release in his post-Coil solo guise as The Thres…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Dunjon Majik
Near a remote village with a not-so-important name lies the entrance to a dungeon, sadly notorious among the local inhabitants. Legend has it that no one has ever come out of it alive. This is the only certain truth; all the rumors about what awaits you inside are wildly different and often contradictory. This peculiar dungeon is actually a magical dungeon, the foolish (or perhaps amusing?) experiment of a diabolical 36th-level wizard: the dungeon is constantly changing, or perhaps it does not e…
Isle Peaks
In the wake of the acclaimed Inland See, the on-growing analog ecosystem being animated for ten albums now by Bitchin Bajas boasts new high energy views. “Isle Peaks” speaks of directions in beats of time, weather and the heart to wherever coast they found themselves when they got it all laid out. Sourced from Inland See sessions, these cuts were subjected to further edits and tweaks, with electroacoustic textures of sampled kalimba, field recordings, autoharp and EWI to activate and transport d…
Music For Empty Stadiums
Or (AKA John Talabot) is a Catalan producer, electronic musician & DJ residing in Barcelona. his 2012 debut album ƒIN received critical acclaim from The Guardian (5*), Anthony Fantano, Pitchfork (8.5 BNM) & DJ Mag. Highly anticipated, Talabot's first album in over a decade. A more left-field side of Talabot, with tangle of cartwheeling synth hooks, bursting with colour & looping electronics.
Saga
On the eve of the 15th anniversary of Vladimir Karpov’s voyaging, visionary solo synth entity X.Y.R., the project unveils its vastest quest yet: Saga. Recorded and revised intermittently at his home studio in Alexandrovskaya, St. Petersburg across 11 years, the album’s four side-long songs span overlapping panoramas of twilit drone, desert wind, stargate electronics, and jungle temple percussion, alternately elevated and desolate. Working with his signature Soviet-era synthesizer, the Formanta-M…
Parity Symmetry is Conserved
Rekombinant is the solo project of Rome based composer and sound artist Alfonso Montagnese. Blending electroacoustic composition, analogue electronics, magnetic tape and sound design, his work explores the physical qualities of sound, embracing imperfection, transformation and degradation as expressive compositional tools. Borrowing its title from the physical principle of parity symmetry, the album is less interested in scientific theory than in the possibility that an identity may endure even …
Camminando di Notte
Following two remix EPs featuring reworks by Mad Professor, Peaking Lights and Danilo Plessow, Sensible Soccers return with Camminando di Notte, an album exploring the space where instrumental electronics, organic rhythms and dub-inflected textures converge into a sound of warm, hypnotic and subtly disorienting beauty.The album opens with “Chuva Morna” and "Balsinha Mentirosa", setting the tone with softly played guitars, hazy electronics and rarefied percussion. Rather than moving towards a con…
Counting the Beats
Band Of Nowhere is a new constellation project by Juanjo Sánchez, together with other collaborators with whom he had previously worked. It is worth mentioning Bob Drake on drums, former member of the legendary formation Thinking Plague (also on Hail, 5UU's, The Science Group) who has also mastered the project from their studio in the Midi-Pyrénées and also to mention the guitarist Jordi Cabayol (Camino al Desván)  both Juanjo and Jordi began their career in a significant band of Barcelona of the…
Uscire da Fuori
**Edition of 200** Electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesises and converts echoes of acoustic wind instruments (oboe, recorders, bamboo flute), whil…
City of Light
Bill Laswell music true legend, “man with the golden ears“ – 2013, he has been involved in hundreds of recordings with many collaborators from all over the world. Bassist, composer and music producer - enough to say that he was the producer for such legendary albums like Motörhead ‎- “Orgasmatron”, Iggy Pop’s “Instinct”, Public Image Ltd - “Album” or Swans “The Burning World” to name just a few. In 1997, Bill Laswell released his sixth solo album “City of Light” recorded in Banaras, India, and m…
Sold Out
3
In a digital timespace stalked by the shifting and pixelating apex predator of Desire Optimization, fling ii has decided that a humble american neokrautrock n-gon of various part time participants lacks the resourcing and relevant domain knowledge to meaningfully compete with the Leviathan of Hypertargeted Urge Satisfaction. The market for pursuing what people actually want is supersaturated, leaving a marketable capability gap for those creating things nobody wants or asked for. 3 is an album e…

Minstrels and Minimoogs
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* Gregory T.S. Walker’s Minstrels & Minimoogs was self-published by a young, nomadic composer and virtuoso in 1988 to accompany an immersive multimedia performance at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Fiske Planetarium. Created with this outer, and other, world setting in mind, the four tracks find Walker stretching toward an ancient-to-future vision where Egyptian myths and Hieronymus Bosch-ian tableaus are rendered in a screaming three dimensional circuitry o…
Cunti
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* After years contributing to Italy’s heterogeneous and increasingly transnational music echosystem by curating his own dream & microsounds label Pampsychia, Reptilian Expo lands on Artetetra like an elegant jelly trainwreck hitting with a mix low-frequencies body-muzak filled with a cocktail of squeaks, wacky samples, manipulated vocal lines and a much-needed pinch of irony.  Cunti is a collection of sonic short stories, fantastic journeys into an unconscious wor…
Collected Tape Works 08' - 17'
After many requests to reissue the seldom heard cassette EPs and VHS releases, Akuphone compiled this archival release which illuminates the group’s early development from 2008 as enigmatic practitioners of post-apocalyptic folk and ritual psychedelia. These recordings capture Ak’chamel’s signature sound in its most primal form: thoroughly f*cked lo-fi production, warped tape hiss, detuned instruments, and melancholic hysteria captured on cassette.
Future Travel
Huge tip! Black Truffle is thrilled to present the first vinyl reissue of David Rosenboom’s unique Future Travel, originally released on the short-lived Detroit label Street Records in 1981 and here presented in an expanded edition with an additional LP of wild, previously unheard live and studio material from the same period. Future Travel emerged from the confluence of two important streams in Rosenboom’s work at this time. First, his exploration of ‘propositional music’, defined as ‘complete …
Rapid Response
Three long-form pieces from Cameron Stallones' Sun Araw on his own Sun Ark label, close to thirty minutes of textural, psychedelic drift across Proper, So Far and Clear Tint Ether, mixed by Jack Callahan.
A Companion For The Spaces Between Dreams
*2026 stock* Jamie Lidell and Luke Schneider have created a kind of sonic tool to navigate a liminal state of mind. Their new collaborative LP, A Companion For The Spaces Between Dreams, is out this fall on Brooklyn experimental imprint Northern Spy Records, designed as a reverent companion for psychedelic journeys born from Lidell’s own ketamine therapy sessions, which deepened his belief in art’s healing power. “A mind is often found more exposed during psychedelic experiences,” Lidell explain…
Sumer Is Icumen In
Orchestrating vivid rites of polished futures.
Sacro Bosco Mediazioni
*100 copies limited edition* Sacro Bosco Mediazioni is a five-pieces ensemble whose music defies easy categorization. Born through the mysterious hills of Bomarzo, where the whispers of the ancient Etruscan gods and goddesses can still be heard, their craft is marked by a singular blend of vocal images and improvised soundscapes that is playful, magical and profound. The group draws inspiration from a diverse array of sources, from ritualistic folk music to the 60's avant-garde, surrealistic poe…
Geometría Prohibida
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Melancholic energy blast from Gran Canaria’s cult trio, MINIATURa, helmed by Eduardo Briganty. Formed in Las Palmas in 2007 and with three records under their belt, "Music Box" (2007), "La Huida Concéntrica" (2012) and "Estrategias de Perdición" (2015), the trio now unleashes its fourth album with a distillation of Briganty's musical and artistic references, coming like a cross of concept album and an unintentional imaginary soundtrack to a David Lynch flick – a…
Disguise In Love
"Disguise In Love" released in 1978, is the debut album of British punk poet John Cooper Clarke. Renowned for his quick-witted delivery and sharp humor, Clarke fuses punk rock with spoken word, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sonic experience. The album includes tracks such as "I Don't Want To Be Nice," "Valley of the Lost Women," and "(I Married a) Monster from Outer Space," highlighting Clarke's talent for social commentary and dark comedy. Produced by Martin Hannett, known as (one of) the creat…
Outline of Nature
“Outline of Nature” is the debut album by Twilight Sequence (aka Matthew J Saunders) following the release of a 12” EP and 7” single on Castles in Space, and an EP on his own Bandcamp page. “Outline of Nature” started as an experiment in building a modular synthesizer system and ended up as a voltage controlled outpouring of love for the natural world. Sylvan-born and pastoral-powered, sap-blooded and lightning-charged, this album grew out of the damp florescent corners of the woods, each note a…
Komos Cowboys
Guitar and Pedal Steel duets by Nicholas Merz (New Orthodox) and Pat Murano (Decimus) 'Komos Cowboys are here. Here with a LP debut. A debut that winds through the living room like a lab coat experiment, already in progress. Yea it doesn't feel like the first word from these chaps, instead it's as if someone just flipped on the flashlight or the Zoom recorder and the Cowboys didn't look up. The result- a sliding, blinking scene report on something that's been rolling for some time now. Maybe the…
Crisis Make Up!
"On ‘Crisis Make Up!’ the long awaited second album from Slaylor Moon, we draw deeper into the intimate sonic world of Canadian musician Sydney Koke. This time, her sensual minimalism and disjointed abstraction is even more striking as she addresses one of the most fundamental quandaries of electronic music - that of the human agent and its presence in the synthetic world of the machine. The choice to eschew computerised arrangements in favour of physical gestures - be it pushing keys, buttons, …
tv2
Portland producer devonwho returns to Leaving Records for new album of self-described “modern instrumental synthesiser funk therapy” TV2, an expansive collection of intuitively crafted loops and non-ambient ambience for hardware synthesis. Marking the tenth anniversary of devonwho’s relationship with Leaving Records, TV2 represents the producer’s first new work since 2021. “I was overthinking releasing music,” devonwho reveals, “but I’ve reached a place of enjoyment with production. Not worried …

"Forth unobserved I wentIn darkness and security,By the secret ladder, in disguise,In secret, seen of none,Oh night more lovely than the dawn!Lost to all things and myself,And, amid the lillies forgotten,Threw all my cares away"
