Eterno Retorno
* Edition of 60 * Born out of an unconditional love for the sound of the organ, sound artist Druuna Jaguar pieced together his recent endeavor, Eterno Retorno, through an obsessive urge to capture the structural depth of the historic Hammond organ. Treating the organ more like a synthesizer, while pushing the instrument to its tonal limits, Druuna Jaguar gracefully extracts hidden resonances and subtle nuances from the constant flux buried within these long sustained tones, penetrating deep with…
October Language
*2022 repress, Limited edition of 300 copies, 3 digital bonus tracks, incl. download.* "October Language" is the debut album by New Orleans based duo Belong, comprised of Turk Dietrich and Mike Jones. Since it's release in early 2006, Belongs debut masterpiece has accumulated a dedicated cult following, with comparisons to the work of Christian Fennesz and Gas, with some claims that it plays like My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" sans the songs. While these comparisons are useful for filing this …
Spring Stories
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited release* Deprived of sanity, Paul Régimbeau aka Mondkopf found new territories of expression with »Spring Stories«, a collection of post-rapture moods full of glorious chaos, ready to absorb and re-ignite all that is worn.
As a phoenix raising from the ashes, »Spring Stories« captures the earth in full bloom. Darkness & Insanity looses it´s grips as the roots and fresh leaves creates a slow dance towards the sun. Similarly sine-wave drones move around …
Raum
*Limited edition of 100 handnumbered items* The first chapter of the "Raum“-trilogy by Dominik Grenzler aka An Moku and Stefan Schmidt. Finely crafted ambient / soundscapes using bass, cello, electronics and field recordings. As for many musicians, if there was anything positive about the lockdown in the spring of 2020, it was having more time to create music, to experiment and to maybe even start a completely new project with someone you may never have worked with before.
When Dominik Grenzler…

*Edition of 300. Includes Lyric Sheet.* In the old attic, among dust and dimness, I once found an old children's magazine, that opened itself on a photograph of three melancholic girls eating soup. A distant voice, quietly singing ravels of poems from the 19th century, all gone and forgotten long ago, is accompanied by monotonous loops, played on toy keyboards, or are they maybe a rustling and hissing of twigs on the roof? repeating gusts of wind, slightly moving curtains over a flaking window f…

Hymnes Apophatiques
Tip! *2nd limited edition* During the summer of 2021, Delphine was invited for a residency at the church of St Saphorin (Switzerland), on the occasion of the Jolie Vue Festival. Having the opportunity to fully explore the organ the days before the actual festival, Delphine improvised a long, long series of tracks, of which you’ll find a small selection on ‘hymnes apophatiques’.
She’s definitely full of respect for the organ, at some moments diving deep in the sound traditionally associated with …
Vertical (2011/2021)
*In process of stocking. 50 copies limiteed edition* "Ten years of music, almost always published on the net. Transformation is what I can think of to write. Even the rock is mutable. We carry in our bodies the traumas, the suffering. Then there's the rest. Vertical is the ascent to the heavens, and more, as I read somewhere, what cannot be said is consigned to silence." - João Alegria
A work of anthological nature around the admirable work of João Alegria - guitar player almost always in the sh…

Modern Dance Gold, Vol. 1
From the UK based imprint, The state51 Conspiracy, comes, “Modern Dance Gold, Vol. 1”, the debut LP by Better Corners, a brand-new project from Valentina Magaletti, Sarah Register, and Matthew Simms. Harnessing a vast range of sound sources, it's a visionary expanse of abstract textures and tonalities that steadily defies any association with genre - incorporating elements of industrial music, post-punk, dance music, noise, and new age into its incredibly ambitious two sides.
Forthcoming
New album by Jacques Beloeil. Jacques Beloeil has released a few eclectic albums on the label Entr'acte, which he co-founded with Allon Kaye. After a few years of publishing he decided to employ his time with music mastering.

*100 copies limited edition* 'There are many things that go unsaid of true artistry. The building of a craft for the sake of self-betterment, and to more deeply explore that which makes us who we are, and perhaps even better defines the things we feel we need to say or have left unspoken. One cannot think of a better example of true artistry than the works of Kaily Moon Schenker & Nick Keeling. Two artists that continually strive for the most sincere, deepest explorations of sound and human expr…

Conductor / Life And Death Of Pboc
Two rare historical recordings (1983 and 1986) originally released as single sides and gathered here for the first time. "Conductor might be my favourite composition and Life And Death Of Pboc might be my most sincere. Conductor was my first composed piece with no obvious reference points ... Life And Death Of Pboc was the second. These two compositions gave me the title Godfather of Dark Ambient."Carl Michael von Hausswolff, born in 1956 in Linköping, Sweden, lives and works in Stockholm. Since…

Grid Ravage
‘Grid Ravage’s debut album for Dropa Disc sounds organic, just like their live performances, with the music being born on the spot. The tight drumming of Louis Evrard (Ottla), the razor-sharp cello of Gino Coomans (Sheldon Siegel) and the permeating electronics of Yves De Mey naturally flow into each other. The result is a strikingly versatile and accessible record, on which the tension is built up in every track, until it’s not clear anymore who’s being followed around by whom. In this way, th…
Schoon Donker
Schoon Donker is Marceau Boré first solo album under his real name. Before known as Piano Chat, a solo pop noise project, the french musician has been commissioned to compose a film score for a documentary film by Katrien Feyaerts, Schoon Donker. The film is about two men and alot of pigeons. One of the men is a famous and silent pigeon-fancier, the other is the director's father. As the pigeons come and go, both men stay stuck in their lives.
Marceau Boré chose to play the saxophone, an instrum…
Erosion
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Erosion is a sprawling yet focused love affair with the bass drum, allowing myriad objects to playfully interact with its grand form. Kevin and Jacob engage with the instrument in an entirely unrelenting way, traversing textural, pointillist sections, as well as rippling metallic drones. Notice’s admiration of Kevin and Jacob’s work goes back to circa 2008, with Kevin’s album with Tetuzi Akiyama and Christian Kiefer on the much-loved Digitalis Industries, and J…
