* Edition of 200 copies, black vinyl * The New Blockaders are unique in the history of music and art. What, in our opinion, stands supreme in TNB’s 40-year existence is a passionate execution of their anarchistic and unconventional stance. In a biographical reference, TNB are often cited as pioneers of Noise music but for TNB themselves Noise music is not just an assault on tonality but a complex language of communication. From Luigi Russolo's 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto to TNB’s T.I.C. manifest…

condition (disc/cover): M/M (still sealed) Vittorio Gelmetti (1926-2005) worked outside the Italian academic avant-garde and made a music built from other music. Organum Quadruplum (1967), written for a concert at St. Paul's American Church in Rome, sets a choir and Frederic Rzewski on organ against tape, popular songs and radio noise. Ipotesi A (1974), a study for the opera Non otterrete risposta, has Gelmetti on piano, percussion and bird call. Side B, L'opera abbandonata tace e volge la cavi…

Passiflora, the tenth edition of the Music To Watch Seeds Grow By series: KiF Productions follow the passion flower from seed to bloom and back to earth in nine collaged ambient pieces. Cassette.

Celebrating the 100th release on Kit, The Hague artist — and overseer of esteemed Plafond and Rubber imprints — Ruben Verkuylen squints through the telescope to reveal a high-rise debut of constructivist electronics and domestic bricolage, as The Social Lover. 'Vertical Vignettes' looms like a cutaway apartment block of overlapping lives and skintled brickwork. These are less songs than scenes; inspired in equal measure by Jacques Tati's 'Playtime' and Georges Perec's 'Life: A User's Manual', Ve…

Scanner reworks an hour of Nurse with Wound material into six pieces named after homeopathic remedies: radio static, processed voices and squeaky guitars in an echoing maze. Double vinyl, the fourth side etched by Babs Santini.

*2026 stock* Dendermonde represents an ambitious encounter between acoustic and electronic elements, mixed together in a unique and hybrid sound territory, oriented towards psychedelia and post- rock. This album is the result of an experimentation that aims at creating a bridge between electroacoustic music and blues. It is crossed in its entirety by analog hiss and crackles, noises, and field recordings. All of this finds a centre in the sound of guitars, sometimes acid, sometimes ethereal, yet…

*150 copies limited edition* Apologizing To Ghosts is a hauntological meditation on the haunted house: its lingering detritus of memories, its cobwebs of remorse, its loops replaying in darkened corners, ghosts quietly apologizing to the ghosts of ghosts. For Varian, ghosts aren't made of ectoplasm so much as of injustice, longing and regret, the unfinished business that keeps them, and us, tethered to some moment we wish we could undo. As on many previous 400 Lonely Things albums, every sound h…

Madelyn Byrd returns to Glasgow’s Somewhere Press with a hazed set of weightless soundscapes. »Night Rider« opens in widescreen with the chirp of cicadas dancing across a desert landscape, before Shiroishi’s saxophone eventually cuts through the dark like neon. The story Byrd tells is close to their heart: they spent their teenage years in the Sonoran Desert, the vast subtropical expanse spanning parts of Arizona, California, and Mexico. Its seemingly alien landscape — pocked with giant, tree-li…

A subtle, moody, rich and wide-ranging work, in which atmosphere, emotion and dramaturgy lead the ear far beyond music into a world of hints, evocations, anticipation and association and, in passing, reveal a complex metonymic language that, at a deep level, invokes that mostly unconscious lexicon of sound we have all absorbed collectively and subliminally in the course of a century of movie-going, television viewing, documentary recording and electroacoustic experimentation. Once sounds have be…

** 2022 Repress ** "Music Promenade" (1964-1969): Electroacoustic Music, world premiere for the Théâtre de la musique, March 16, 1970 "Hétéro-Concert". Permanent version for four stand-alone tape recorders. A series of colliding realistic sounds and sonic images. Whilst walking, a man is struck by the violence of his surroundings. Nature has disappeared in a whirlwind of warfare and industry in the midst of which he encounters a dying folklore and a lost young girl. The "Installation" version is…

Mega Tip! 300 copies only. Alga Marghen proudly presents the previously unreleased “Collage 2” and “Collage 3 (Dies irae)” for magnetic tape, both realised at the Studio di Fonologia Musicale RAI in Milan with the technical collaboration of Marino Zuccheri.

Tokyo-based producer aus debuts on Squama with his new album mere meer. Grounded in the question of how a specific environment can emerge through voice and memory, rather than through recording of an objective reality, the album stands in the tradition of modern Japanese Ambient and Kankyo Ongaku. aus is the solo project of Tokyo-born composer, producer, and curator Yasuhiko Fukuzono. His music is characterized by a precise combination of cinematic strings, acoustic instrumentation, and concrete…

Inner Channel lands on Indefinite Boundary with the surrealist Patterns EP – an immersive tour of polyrhythms, fourth-world analog synthesis and wasteland jazz processed through an unfiltered view of reality. Patterns builds on and expands from Inner Channel’s debut release Culture On Wind, released in 2024 on Diskotopia, with more nuanced instrumentation, hypnagogic production and monistic lyrical avenues. Cutting a salient path from the winding intersections of no-wave, dub, and outer-dimensio…

6-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet. Edition of 500 copies * Plastic Carved Out In The Shape Of The Music compiles all the non-album releases of the 1990s by Dunedin free improvisation quartet-cum-trio, Sandoz Lab Technicians.

Ambient explorers SWIMS come up trumps with the debut record by London musician and visual artist Loz Keystone, and Glaswegian electronics tamperer and jazz trumpeter Christos Stylianides. "Craobh Haven" is the dreamlike product of a week's residency in a little cabin in the Scottish village of the same name. Driving around the surrounding countryside each day to gather field recordings, evenings were spent by the duo assembling their findings into tape loops. These little rotating sculptures - …

Kim David Bots and Lyckle de Jong met in the water-basin of one of the earliest concrete structures in the Netherlands, a bunker that was part of Amsterdam’s defensive line, built around the 1890’s. Something that used to house water was now empty. For three days they recorded improvised music that is still on a hard drive somewhere. Since then they have performed and recorded together, with a bunch of releases still to come. The third of May was written and recorded in 2020 over the course of s…

Deluxe 2CD edition collecting expanded & remastered versions of the ‘Dark Drippings’ and ‘A Darker Shade Of Fat’ releases, two projects assembled by M. S. Waldron using his archive of NWW live recordings. The former is mainly a collection of unusual live excerpts and rehearsal outtakes, while the latter uses the live recordings as raw material to create new tracks. 12 minutes of new material has been integrated into ‘Dark Fat’, and an entire, new 20-minute track has been added to ‘A Darker Shade…

I’ve not thought about Psychick Youth for a long time, the anti cult cult, but the reality is I had a great time and met a lot of good people, many of whom I’m still in touch with today. Left in the hands of others who just weren’t there, people jumped on the gravy train and ultimately failed to answer any questions. Failed books and failed documentaries followed, where the main priority seemed to be taking the money and hoping for the best, kinda sad really. The press described it as: “Thee Tem…

*250 copies limited edition* "Whenever I perform a concert, which is usually a one-off, I like to try something new that I have prepared and rehearsed. It's very rare to return to the music afterwards and record a studio version. On 25 November 2023, I played a concert in Münster, Germany, and I was very pleased with how it turned out. However, because I was given 30 minutes, I felt it was a bit rushed, and I recorded a new version at home shortly afterwards. The inclusion of shortwave radio sou…

*2025 stock. 140 copies limited edition* First album in 26 years from Italian brothers Giancarlo and Roberto Drago, the Genoese duo behind one of the most significant minimal-industrial projects to emerge from Italy's "Anni di Piombo" (Years of Lead). Active from 1982 to 1993, The Tapes released over twenty cassettes on their own Industrial Tapes label before moving to legendary imprints like Minus Habens and Amen. Their inclusion in the Strut compilation Mutazione: Italian Electronic & New Wave…

Eiko Ishibashi & Jim O'Rourke's fifth collaboration remixes live material from their 2023 European tour. Pareidolia weaves improvised performances from France, Switzerland, Italy & Ireland into a dynamic sound collage, blending computer-generated textures with flute & harmonica. A meditation on perception & randomness.

Klara Lewis’ distinctive talent for disfiguring sound into forms that remain recognisably song-like reaches a new peak here. Her new album Opening is a deceptive recording with veiled melodies and clandestine bangers. Lewis, creator of worlds, treats music as a mirror that reflects a perspective misaligned with the real image. Her music moves in unusual and often startling ways. Acoustic instruments such as ukulele and piano are subjected to processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, their …

Clairvoyant Dimensions is the first album by Mei Honeycomb, a new duo of Jordan Czamanski, renowned as a member of the acclaimed Juju & Jordash and the Magic Mountain High project, with solo work released as Jordan GCZ, and legendary saxophonist Jeff Hollie, known mostly for his work with Frank Zappa and Ike Willis. An explorative ambient album, Clairvoyant Dimensions is an exercise in distance and contemplation, and the exhilarating feeling of insight, however fleeting, like staring at the midn…

Night Sky marbled vinyò edition. 350 copies. Discovery Zone is the project of JJ Weihl, the New York-born, Berlin-based musician and former member of Fenster. In 2023 she was commissioned to perform inside the dome of the historic Zeiss-Groß Planetarium, and rather than carry over her usual rhythm-led sound she rebuilt the project from the circuitry up, composing in Ambisonics, a directional form of spatial audio, played back across a mosaic of forty-nine speakers. Written for live performance, …

Música para Plátanos takes its name — and much of its inspiration — from the group’s recording studio, situated in the heart of a banana plantation on the humid north shore of Tenerife, Canary Islands. The ever-present sight of the green, sun-drenched fields surrounding their weekly sessions seeped directly into the music: improvised jams that are playful, layered, and deeply connected to place. This release gathers a distilled selection from those sessions — a kind of “greatest rotten hits” dis…

Recollections VII-VIII marks the fourth in a planned series of 7” releases, each built from Glonti’s expanding archive of Soviet-era recordings. The artwork by Dmytro Nikolaienko (Day Night) once again reflects the utilitarian aesthetic of Soviet-era record design. In 2018, Glonti started collecting LPs of Soviet-era Georgian composers at Tbilisi’s “Dry Bridge” flea market. The records mostly consisted of classical and chamber music released on Melodiya, the singular, state owned record label of…

*2026 stock* claire rousay is a singular artist, known for challenging conventions in experimental and ambient music forms. rousay masterfully incorporates textural found sounds, sumptuous drones and candid field recordings into music that celebrates the beauty in life’s banalities. Her music is curatorial and granular in detail, deftly shaped into emotionally affecting pieces. sentiment is a meditation of the poignant emotional terrains of loneliness, nostalgia, sentimentality, guilt, and sex. …

Bruno Silva, operating here under his restless Serpente alias, returns with Visita do Fogo — a sharp, stripped-back and incendiary counterpoint to the drifting, dream-jazz abstractions of Dias da Aranha. If that record floated like smoke, this one crackles and snaps like dry wood. Visita do Fogo finds Silva stepping back into the heat of his beat-driven origins, embracing a raw, forward-leaning approach that feels closer to his live detonation than a studio construction. The record is built on s…

In a patchwork of IRL sound fragments, humming ambience and sub bass brushstrokes, Bobby Ingham debuts on Sneaker Social Club with a social-realist inversion of soundsystem music that relishes negative space while telling a street-level story. Bobby Ingham is a 24-year-old multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice across film, music and sculpture was shaped by formative experiences in his native Leeds. Having started to experiment with spoken word, poetry and electronic sound production, …

New Future City Radio is the first duo collaboration of longtime creative partners Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek. In a hyperactive 40-minute, 18-track suite that runs like a boombox mixtape, the two prolific multi-media artists contemplate community, transformation, and the future through the programmatic format of a pirate radio station for the people. These two artists have worked together from the peak days of the late 90s / early 00s Chicago music scene up through the present day, which has seen…

*100 copies limited eidtion* The 12 lp cycle of the zodiac of Decimus Magnus Ausonius was originally initiated in 2011. Over the course of 15 years, lps were release on various labels including Kelippah, Digitalis, Planam, Holidays and Further. This present LP represents the resolution of this arc.

On Mount Mansfield, Sam Boston and Shawn O’Sullivan turn a Vermont peak into both instrument and score, binding bent lapsteel and analog feedback into a slow‑growing, topographic drone where static contour becomes living, verdant resonance.

On Sanctioned Departures, William Selman lets two rainforests - Pacific Northwest and Costa Rica - compose themselves, braiding tidal lagoons, primates, saunas and street sweepers into humid, borderless environments where categories dissolve like shorelines under floodwater.

On Sumatra Method, Émile Zener (aka Gunnar Haslam) rebuilds 1950s–60s Indonesia as a haunted acoustic system, where Cold War proxy battles, propaganda and terror flicker through unstable drones, VHS detritus and spliced testimonies.

On Chandler and Dickow Play Fischer, David Chandler and Paul Dickow treat Marcus Fischer’s graphic scores as a lab problem rather than a script, using tracing paper, chalk, piezo styli, EEG data and a 1970s modular synth to probe what it means to “play” an image without simply projecting themselves onto it.

There is an abruptness to waking up to the sight of the other person’s back, a quiet violence hidden in the impression of intimacy, that’s leaving an aftertaste of emptiness. The feeling of losing oneself completely in a love that is given but never returned. Or the slower, less immediate one - the gradual disintegration of a world into which so much was once invested. Love, Diskito is like a worn out overdubbed cassette found in a drawer, with its underlying tracks flickering between contrastin…

*2026 stock* Paris (France) based cassette label Biardo Records is proud to announce the release of the second album by electronic group Amkarahoi. This collaborative trio, composed of musicians and producers minereed (Nikita Chepurnoi), Purpurniy Dyadya (Sergey Dmitriev), and vocalist-songwriter chereshenkaa (Elizaveta Parshina), brings a unique creative vision to their work. Following their debut album, which was released on New York’s Impatience label in 2024  this project was crafted remotel…

Reissue of a cassette from the UK’s most eccentric and vile noise act. Originally released in 1993 via Old Europa Café, “Nativity Colostomy” is an hour’s trek through filthy industrial and colorful shifts of sound. Excellently remastered by Milovan Srdenovic, this crucial part of the Smell & Quim catalog is available for the first time in over two decades as a professionally-manufactured CD digipak.

*2026 stock* In this tribute to one of London's most beloved pieces of common land, Andrey Kiritchenko offers both an ode and a plea. Initially inspired by the role the Hackney Marshes played during the pandemic as a site of communal gathering and connection, Ultra Marshes celebrates the multiplicity of this parkland. "It became very clear how essential it is for people to have shared experiences of music and how quickly we can lose what we take for granted," he explains. Listening deeply to the…

One of the most striking and enigmatic works to appear on Discreet Music in recent years. There is a long tradition of artists who have tried to set scripture to music and failed magnificently - the failure itself becoming the subject, the wound becoming the work. Carrie DeCunzo Mirande's debut album belongs to this lineage. In the twenty-four days before Christmas 2024, she read the twenty-four chapters of the Book of Luke and attempted to respond in sound. Two piano pieces emerged - one inspir…
