2007 release ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies. "A bright and almost poppy sounding mix of processed sounds and vocals backed up by light electronic rhythms. For the most part it's got me thinking of bands like Lucky Dragons and High Places, that sort of psychedelic electronic-augmented indie sort of sound, but the comparisons don't seem totally apt as the four tracks often flirt with more overt electro-pop sounds too. Props to 'em for having a pop at something out of the ordinary a…
2000 release ** "In The Land Of Melancholy as the band's first official release is to present it - in the musicians' intention - from the most accessible side. Hence, the album mainly features atmospheric ballads. However, it is easy to read in them the band's wealth of experience, passion and inspiration. The psychedelic tradition of the 60s is complemented by the spatiality of electronic sounds, which refers to the cosmic German psychedelia of the early 70s (e.g. Cosmic Jokers), or its contemp…
*2025 stock. 80 copies limited edition* Tarpass is a group of wandering troubadours. They never play the same songs because they don't remember them. Currently made up of two members, the team's aim is to grow. They are looking for mystical instruments and friends who are mad enough to play them, but above all to accompany the group on its adventures. In their search, Tarpass found themselves in the city of Cux'ada. In the sunshine, intoxicated by the altitude, they wandered the streets and rads…
Yearly compilation series Radar Keroxen return with its fifth volume of themed based albums showcasing the talents and misfortunes of carefully selected musical projects based or connected with the Canary Islands. With its first volume released in 2020 aiming to introduce and divulge adventurous Island based music, the Keroxen imprint now presents Vol.5 with a collection of tracks born out of an in-situ collective performance at the Keroxen Festival iconic venue - a massive disused gasoline tank…
*50 copies limited edition* Avant le Rivage takes us back to the poetics of a liminal space in its original definition : a place of transition, of change ; a place that contains the source of a reverie. At the heart of Mélodie Blaison's music, the shore is not seen as an elementary boundary between water and land. Rather, it is a crossroads of prolific inter-relations, a breeding ground for heterogeneous temporalities that invite disembodied contemplation. In this way, the sound materials used b…
*50 copies limited edition* In recent years, much has been written about artificial intelligence and how it can be used. In the art world, these apprehensions have quickly turned into workers' struggles which, beyond criticisms of AI as a tool, have brought to the forefront the flawed relations of production between art commissioners, work instruments and artists. This syndrome of the gargantuan appetite of the capitalist hydra within the cultural and creative industries has, however, left in it…
Tip! "With « A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground », Tzii attempts a breakthrough in opacity. Close to emotional ambient, sometimes with slight touches of medieval trad («muxu» means kisses in Basque) and close to raw and mineral materials, Tzii rubs on airy atmospheres, in warm colors, looking for an altered state, almost gaseous. Muffled harmonies, melodious drone, reverb melodies, modulated distorted voices from elsewhere sounding like liberating …
There isn’t much known about Crystal Voyager & UFOm, the two musicians that created “Universe People.” We do know that it’s an album of deep ambience and weirdo sonic exploration; simultaneously harnessing lulling sounds and celestial vibrations alongside more visceral sonic encounters that exist somewhere else entirely. As previously reported from last year’s “Aliens Are Real” by UFOm, the artist has ties to a low-profile religious organization which necessitates their secrecy. Thankfully, we d…
Moon Glyph is pleased to present a compilation of new, unreleased tunes from established veterans of the label and newcomers alike. Staying true to Moon Glyph’s transportive aesthetic, “Amethyst” spans across abstract genres from ambient, psychedelia, jazz, electronic, fourth world percussion and more. Across its 17 tracks, you’ll hear Cole Pulice’s hypnotic overlapping saxophones, Vic Bang’s intricate arrangements of micro samples, IE’s patient desert landscapes and Starbirthed’s shimmering cel…
Moon Glyph is thrilled to share “Emerald”, a new collection of unreleased works from both established artists and newcomers to the label. True to the label’s transportive aesthetic, the collection spans the sonic landscapes of ambient, jazz, experimental, electronic, psychedelia, minimalism and more.
Over the course of 13 tracks, the compilation weaves together sounds like Anagrams’ delicate interplay of guitar and saxophone, Oval Angle’s plucky, playful electronics and Lia Kohl’s improvisationa…
'Once for my birthday, my mum offered to buy me vinyl even though she is not used to collecting or searching for records. She said she saw a musician on TV and it reminded her of the music I like. So she searched for Jan Jelinek on the web, found his discography and ordered "Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records" at an independent record shop in Paris, without telling me. I already knew the record and was truly surprised when she brought me to the store to pick it up, like two worlds meeting.' - Aude van Wy…
Renowned composer and sound artist Francis Heery, under his alias The Cube of Unknowing, announces the release of his latest sonic expedition, 'Bog Summoner', via Library of the Occult. This immersive electronic album blends kosmische, motorik rhythms, and spectral atmospheres, drawing listeners deep into the mysterious heart of the Irish Midlands. A visionary in avant-garde music, Heery's compositions have been performed by ensembles including the RTE Symphony Orchestra, Crash Ensemble, Quiet M…
Tip! After releases on Ginjoha, Ikuisuus, Mappa and Nonlocal Research such as Collision and Coalescence and Squirlich Stroll, the German/Finnish duo composed by Jani Hirvonen (Uton) and Johannes Schebler (Baldruin) teams up with Artetetra, bringing to light a new sonic wizardry. It has been six years since Grykë Pyje (forest ravine in Albanian) stretched out their high sensitivity feelers for the first time into the greatest of outdoors to bring us fascinating, multilayered soundscapes and intro…
Soave Records dusts off in limited edition the psych/synth album by Doctor Steven T. Birchall recorded in 1973 in Indiana, U.S.A. with the following equipment: VCS-3 (The Putney) by EMS, Ampex MM-1000 16 trk, dbx noise reduction, SpectrasSonics Console, Studer A80 Recorder, Eventide Clockworks, Instant Phaser, Cooper Time Cube, EMT Reverb. The absolutely penetrating high tones of the opening track 'Music Of The Spheres' announce us that we are on board, passengers in the hands, or perhaps better…
On ‘Cordial’, Ursula Sereghy traces the sensation of home; not as a place, but as something fleeting and deeply felt. Comfort appears in glimpses, nestled between moments of dissonance and unraveling structure. There is joy, but it carries the weight of absence, the quiet grief of realizing what was missing all along. A laughter that is both liberating and bittersweet.
Sereghy’s music moves with no fixed center, shedding hierarchies and opening itself to the unknown. Sounds unravel and reform: f…
The enigmatic psych rock duo The Psychic Circle return with their third album, 'Wizards of the Watchtower', arriving March 7th via Library of the Occult Records. Comprised of Tom McDowell (Dream Division, Library of the Occult Records) and Jack Harris, the group once again conjures dark electronic krautrock, doom-laden psych, and motorik grooves, channeling a sound that is equal parts hypnotic and heavy.
A ritualistic blend of Black Sabbath’s crushing riffage and Can’s relentless drive, Wizards …
"With the Fortean transmitter channelling everything from Hitchcock, Ken Russell phantasm and The Legacy to the music of the Amicus and Tigon film studios, pastoral hallucinations and veiled break beats, Boscoe summons up a BBC workshop of quirky magik, Lovecraftian atavistic shadows, suspense and whispered apparitional calls and dialogue from the supernatural archives. If you dug last year’s Night Blooming Flowers album collaboration between Drew Mulholland and Garden Gate on the same label, th…
Trueno is the result of the exploration of two lovers of the unusual, the experimentation, and the noise. The product of the meetings between Martí and Oxo during various sessions recorded in 2024 in Oxo's private studio in Madrid. Martí provided his modular synthesizer, and DIY sound generators and modifiers. A set of parts that transform electric signals into audio and deconstructs them to the smallest grains. Through synthesis processes, and the use of the sampler as an instrument, the sound …
After many years of city life, Andrea Cichecki discovered deep inspiration for her music in the nature surrounding her new home. Residing at the boundary where countryside meets woodland, she lives right at the 'edge effect', a unique zone where different ecosystems converge, creating a diverse and vibrant natural beauty.
This album is an emotional exploration of Andrea's past, touching on themes of loss and letting go, while also conveying hope and the enduring cycle of renewal found in nature …
"As our ears wander into the cacophony of a saturated world, drowned by the dissonance and excess of noise that besieges us, Rien Virgule invites us to explore sonic interstices, to slow down and resist the frenzy. With ‘Berceuses des deux mondes’ (‘Lullabies of the two worlds’), the deafening fires of the din are extinguished, the volume of the over-amplified world calms down, and music becomes a refuge. We listen as we contemplate a flickering candle flame, tinged with a luminous melancholy. T…

Peaceful electronic ambient and tribal echo environments. Music that explores feelings of calm, spirituality, and ceremony. Long-form voyages to temple meditations, “trips in search of something,” looking in as looking out.
The artist himself says: “This is an attempt to look into the heads and souls of "unnecessary" people, inconspicuous people, but striving to make the world a better place. People who have lost the horizon and the outlines of reality are desperate and stuck in the middle of no…
These two are friends. You can tell. They converse with each other, musically speaking. They connect in the way that only really happens when words aren’t needed to explain what you’re getting at. You’ll know when you listen because you’ll hear the trust between them. No fear of self expression to be found here, it’s direct.
They’ve each done great things. Brilliant releases on wonderful labels of varying types, shapes and sizes. They might even have had a hand in running some of them. You can l…
*200 copies limited release* Leslie is a multidisciplinary musician based in Brussels. Drummer since the age of 7, self-taught pianist and modular nerd in his spare time, he composes, writes and performs his music. Inhabited by punk, jazz, cartoons, 90s grunge and rave culture, Leslie's music boldly explores the fusion of these disparate influences. His first LP, Feelings, is an introspective album, a musical transcription of ardent sentimental and psychological states. Written in the form of a …
Some things take a long time. And some things are meant to last. But how you know that, or learn how to find out, that’s a more intangible thing. That’s A Shaw Deal – intangible. A communal meeting place for two old friends and their different musics. A Shaw Deal is the first album by Geologist and DS. They go back a long ways – back before Highlife, before Shaw joined White Magic – back to the early childhood of Animal Collective. Basically, Doug Shaw touched down in NYC around 2003, and he and…
Melancholic. Intense. Deep. Epic. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is a tribute to electricity and telluric forces, a complete celebration of life, a symbiosis for an epistemic shift.
”Yellow Freqs,” the second cassette release by Jan-Erik Viitakoski, unveils a sonic tapestry that resurrects the forgotten gems of Finnish minimalism. As an archival treasure, this album showcases Viitakoski’s early foray into both synthetic and piano compositions, offering a rare glimpse into his experimental genius. The various sound quality (some being low, some rather high depending on the tape in question) compositions resonate with an eerie atmosphere, a haunting beauty transcending time, …
“Signal" is the new album by renowned electronic music artist Brendon Moeller. Known for his innovative fusion of ambient sounds, Moeller once again pushes the boundaries of the genre with swirling, organic forms and immersive textures grounded in the dark, moody tones of deep techno and dub. What results are the sounds of melodic, fluttering synths set to low, steady beats, all of which seem to playfully dance through some kind of cosmic aural nebula. Brendon grew up in Johannesburg, South Afri…
This work has been created by Jerome Genin alias Magic Aum Gigi alias Diza Star, who played also in other groups affiliated to the Psychedelic rock of Acid Mothers Temple. The music goes back to the golden Krautrock years and is dedicated to the first Popol Vuh and Faust. The record thus shows two complementary sides, conceptually and musically different.
The first side, called Attraction side, is fully electronic, thematically “attractive”, with a subversive magnetization. The first track inclu…
A full four years after Chicago organ maestro Jimmy Lacy’s legendary maiden voyage as SiP, Leos Naturals, he returns with its lush, layered, long-awaited sequel: Leos Ultras. Conceived and recorded in a corner of a large floorplan warehouse-turned-sound lab called Homan Gardens, the album radiates a rare joy and colour, projected through a technicolor slideshow of cosmic keys, clarinet, kalimba, sax, melodica, flute, tambourine, and drumbox. The songs feel warm and weathered, like familiar garme…
The remix album, with marvelously creative EDM remakes from some of the best powerbook players of the day: Mouse On Mars, Jim O’Rourke, Kid Loco, Schneider TM, Stock, Hausen & Walkman, Cornelius and The High Llamas themselves. In addition to showcasing this emerging new generation of digital masters, the treatments here also highlight an oft-undersung aspect of The High Llamas’ sound – the influence of Krautrock.
Trippin’ Musik’ is Nurse With Wound’s most significant new dose in a while, collecting 3 epic discs of steeply psychedelic sonics that may well alter your breathing and heart rates and mental state. No tracklisting provided, play however tf you like.
"Oxide Manifesto is intended as an audio sketchbook, which explores a particular method of creating music. It aims to link obsolete machines and experimental composition. In recording it, I embraced as many techniques of working with magnetic tape as possible. I gave myself the freedom to lean into the perceived flaws of tape as a recording format. Often we hear ‘it’s not about the equipment’. But on this album the equipment is in equal focus to the music. Wow, flutter, wonky pitch, abrupt edits…
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Storia Notturna" is a collection of music written, produced and recorded mainly in September 2021, but its origins go back in time. As far back as my University studies in the early 90s. For one of the many extra-departmental courses that my study plan in Philosophy allowed, I chose Social History and found myself studying the seminal study by Carlo Ginzburg "I Benandanti: Stregoneria e culti agrari tra Cinquecento e Seicento" (Einaudi, 1966). It was a r…
Electric Sewer Age was conceived in 2006, a glowing spark in the imagination of John Deek of Divine Frequency. A brief, cryptic announcement in 2009, followed by a few rough tracks released online, heralded its birth. Announced with nothing more than the tagline 'an Infinity of Sewers thrown open beneath the Threshold House', little was known about this upcoming project other than it likely featured some involvement of former Coil legends Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and Danny Hyde, and perhaps…
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 …
