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, …

Pop
"Pop, the album that has become widely recognized as the defining moment in which Wolfgang Voigt brought us into a clearing of his deep, psychedelic forest. A landmark release in the GAS odyssey that drew international attention, Pop was originally released in 2000 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux. Pop was heralded by Pitchfork at the time of release as being “an exercise in sonic texture… pure sonic velvet, the layered drone radiating a palpable warmth.”"Pop blossoms to life in on…

Into The Cosmic Forest
*300 copies limited edition* Stone Music returns with Into the Cosmic Forest, a deep and patient journey into open-air improvisation. The group was founded in 2022 by Tokio Hasegawa, a core member of the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers, and brings together a wide circle of musicians from Japan’s ambient and experimental scenes. While the name is new, the spirit continues. Stone Music extends the free-form, site-responsive approach that defined Taj Mahal Travellers — music shaped by environment, d…
Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory
Windy and Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to 30 years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy and Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Con…
Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni
In an age that demands hyper acceleration, kinetic flashes and byte voracity, Blak Saagan sticks out like a sore thumb with a sprawling body of work that requires attention and unlocks profound symbols and meaning with every passage. After a 5 year gap, the Venetian composer returns with his most personal and openly political statement yet, ‘Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni’, a staggering 108 minute triple album soundtracking a dystopian city through flashes of futuristic fourth world visions, war…
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…
Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon

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…
Release the Beast
Release the Beast marks CV Vision’s sixth studio album and his most gleefully hybrid statement to date, a follow‑up to Im Tal der Stutzer that turns genre fusion into its main organising principle. Rooted in an adventurous krautrock spirit, Berlin‑based Denis Schulze (CV Vision) treats psych rock, Detroit techno, distorted synthesizers, black metal and library music not as separate territories but as colours on the same palette. The record unfolds as a wild, cross‑style trip where meandering gui…
Im Tal der Stutzer
You might've caught CV Vision in Berlin, either on stage or behind the mixer at some of his favourite clubs like Arkaoda, Heiners or O Tannenbaum. He could be accompanied by synths, or drum kit, or even full band – channelling his love of Bo Hansson and Claude Larson, or Soft Machine and Picchio dal Pozzo. Always heavy on the backbeat, the songs awash with heady synths and expansive psych inversions. Taking inspiration from deep in the mediaeval mists of times long past, CV Vision comes riding o…
Con-Struct
The German pioneer of electronic music Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011) amassed a vast archive of sounds for use in combination with each other in live performances. In 2011 the idea came up of con-structing new compositions, not remixes, from this material. The Con-Struct series was born. This release features con-structions by Baal & Mortimer who writes about it in the linernotes: It was exciting to break open existing material, peeling something out of the past and thus transgressing it and open…
Longshore Drifting
Lone Bison / Nick Bonell lives by the sea in Ramsgate. Mainly a guitar player and pedal freak, Nick bought a used Korg MS20 and fell in love with synths. As one half of Stuntmen, Nick released the sample-heavy single 'You're the Beat Find' on the groovy Tummy Touch label, which led to him scoring three Ford adverts in the U.S and a few pieces of well-used production music - which paid for more synths and pedals! An album, 'Transistor Memory' and single 'Drugs' came out via Dom Martin's Polytechn…
Magia Láctea
Milk magic, cheesy rhythms, preset delirium. Magia Láctea departs from a simple setup: a Solton arranger keyboard, used not for accompaniment but as a central sequencer. Its built-in presets - Latin, Italo, and other cheesy standardised patterns - form the starting point. Two long-form improvisations unfold from this set-up. The Solton acts as both driver and instigator, pushing and entangling the Future Retro Vectra and BARP 2600 into a dense, slightly deranged ecosystem of dairy delirium. Side…
Post Purgatory
Formed in Taipei in 2013, Scattered Purgatory (破地獄) has occupied a liminal space between drone, ambient, psychedelic folk and ritualistic kosmiche experimentation. Their early work, including ‘Lost Ethnography of the Miscanthus Ocean’ (2014) and ‘God of Silver Grass’ (2016), blended dense instrumental drones, improvisational guitar, and ambient textures rooted in the heat, humidity, and urban pulse of Taiwan. Over the years, the duo-turned-band has drawn on Krautrock, minimalist electronic music…
Sumerian Star Creatures
Created for the Centre for Fine Arts Brussels, "Sumerian Star Creatures" premiered in 2017 as a part of Spencer Clark (The Skaters / Monopoly Child Star Searchers / Pacific City Sound Visions) and Xavier Garcia Bardon's "Imagineers in the Underworld" Film Series. Typhonian Highlife and Corum made a slithery soundtrack to intersperse between the stories of South Africas former National Laureate, Credo Mutwa; who's early work magically catalogs folk histories of the Zulu people, and later, begins …
Megachurch
*50 copies limited edition* Megachurch is a collaborative album by Perry Frank & Matteo Cantaluppi, featuring Marco Scipione on processed saxophone.Combining ambient textures, analog arpeggiators, and sculpted timbres, the record explores the idea of the “church” not as a religious site, but as a mental and acoustic space.
It is a sonic cathedral built from echoes, delays, silences, and layered textures. The saxophone does not preach — it breathes. The synthesizers don’t lead a ritual — they rep…
Teleportations
Tip. Teleportations is the debut solo album by Dan Leavers (Danalogue), known for The Comet Is Coming and Soccer96. Conceived and performed entirely by him as a continuous, journey-like piece, the album transforms personal loss and upheaval into a warm, playful science-fiction voyage that moves through celestial ambience, kosmische shimmer, space disco, liquid jazz-funk and deep Detroit house. Sequenced as a single trip rather than separate songs, it invites listeners to join a self-styled “tele…
