Troupe Asnimer & J.H. Burch
A trance-inducing journey into Morocco’s Ait Bouguemez valley: multi-instrumentalist J.H. Burch joins the all-female Troupe Asnimer to revive Amazigh oral traditions. Their hypnotic choral songs, enriched with global instrumentation, bridge ancestral ritual and contemporary sound.
Uranus - Tibetan Singing Bowls
** Edition of 300 copies ** In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the hear…
Hegel
Hegel by Lucio Battisti offers a boundary-pushing, introspective journey through philosophical concepts, poetic abstraction, and experimental electronics. Its eight tracks unfold with Panella’s cryptic lyrics, reflecting on beauty, identity, and the passage of time within meticulously programmed synth-pop arrangements. As Battisti’s final work, it stands as a compelling testament to the possibilities of Italian songwriting and sonic innovation.
Cosa Succederà alla Ragazza
Cosa Succederà alla Ragazza by Lucio Battisti deepens the exploration of electronic sounds and playful, surreal wordplay from Panella. The album, centered around the mysterious figure of the “girl,” combines pulsating, synthesized arrangements with a cut-up poetic style, producing a work both hypnotic and elusive. Through eight tracks, Battisti turns pop into a puzzle, rewarding repeated, attentive listening.
L'Apparenza
L'Apparenza by Lucio Battisti marks a pivotal moment in his career, expanding on electronic and lyrical experimentation begun in his Panella phase. The album’s multilayered arrangements and poetic ambiguity invite listeners into an abstract space, where meaning slips between lines and melodic innovation comes to the fore. With tracks like A portata di mano and Lo scenario, Battisti tests the boundaries of Italian pop, offering an album that is as challenging as it is rewarding.
Don Giovanni
Don Giovanni by Lucio Battisti redefines Italian pop with a distinctive synthesis of minimal electronic textures and enigmatic poetic imagery. With Panella’s elliptical lyrics foregrounded, the album resists straightforward interpretation, instead encouraging listeners to linger over its paradoxes and musical subtleties. Each track oscillates between melodic openness and experimental abstraction, weaving a soundscape that is both contemporary and timeless.
La Sposa Occidentale
La Sposa Occidentale by Lucio Battisti marks a further evolution in his sound, with surreally poetic lyrics from Panella and a sonic palette that merges synth-pop and dance electronics. The album presents a concept around a female protagonist, while adopting minimalist visual cues—a white cover with a stylized drawing—and delivering tracks of subtle complexity and rhythmic invention. The result is a sophisticated and enigmatic work that expands the boundaries of Italian pop.

Europe 1964
Super tip! Holy ghost music. The real deal. The sound of four men tearing a hole in the fabric of what jazz was supposed to be and letting something else pour through - something ancient and raw and utterly new. In their short time together, Albert Ayler and Don Cherry created a body of music that genuinely exists in the moment. Oblivious to rules and aesthetic boundaries, they played what they felt on their nerve-ends, embracing mistakes and wrong turns as part of the experience of making art i…
Chitin
*50 copies limited edition* »Chitin« captures Berlin-based duo Narval (Peter Strickmann and Evgenija Wassilew) in a series of recordings made during a 2025 residency in the village of Schöppingen, Münsterland. Known for their use of everyday objects, self-built wind and percussion instruments, feedback systems, and small-scale electronics, Narval treat the performance space itself as a collaborator. In Schöppingen, this meant farmhouses, a parish church, a sculptor’s studio, and surrounding corn…
Roto
*50 copies limited edition* With »Roto«, Derek Piotr revisits the aqueous terrain first explored in his 2016 album »Drono«, where the paradox of water’s stillness and perpetual motion was refracted into looping voices and glitching textures. Conceived as a »spiritual successor« and recorded in 2019, the album has lain dormant for six years before surfacing on Discreet Archive. That stretch of silence seems to have deepened its charge – the sound feels unearthed rather than made, like a whirlpool…
Downriver
*50 copies limited edition* »Downriver« unfolds like a dérive through obscured geographies, echoing the psychogeographic journeys of Iain Sinclair. Just as Sinclair’s writing blurs the tangible and the imagined, Sequences, the project of Antwerp-based artist Niels Geybels, drifts into spaces where memory and environment overlap. Single-take recordings stretch into slowly mutating drones, fractured textures, and ghostlike voices that seem to seep in from unseen thresholds. The atmosphere is one o…
Demo
Demo is much in line with Jones's 1980s recordings, a set of primitive percussion tracks assembled from hand drums, chimes and simple effects, and possessed of a coldly malevolent focus. The Wire
Original Cassette material from Bryns Jones home, Audio Restoration by Radboud Mens.
Who Owns The Dark?
Demdike Stare & Cherrystones unveil a long-in-the-making darkside fantasy weaving atmospheric and loose-limbed cuts recorded at labs in London and Manchester, brilliantly shaking a bush of ghostly trig points ranging from the Mars rehearsal tapes to Minimal Man, Randy Greif’s cut-ups, Conrad Schnitzler’s industrial prototypes and ‘70s ECM sides – with vocal contributions from Ssabae’s mesmerising Laura Lippie.
In dazed pursuit of styles heard on Cherrystones’ DDS tape ‘Peregrinations in SHQ (Sup…
Live At The Melkweg 25.9.87
100 copies. C60 cassette with improved master and fullcolor print on the cassette but original printwork. Los Angeles, September 1987. Savage Republic are in the middle of their first European tour when they land at Amsterdam's legendary Melkweg. What gets captured on eight-track tape that night is pure alchemy: tribal post-punk, cosmic surf, oil drum industrial and guitars droning like desert prayers.
Founded in 1981 by Bruce Licher and Mark Erskine in the underground parking garages of UCLA - …
Home Demo Tracks
"Home Demo Tracks" by Muslimgauze is a collection of eight tracks with a total duration of about 47 minutes, featuring a distinctive blend of ambient electronics and polyrhythmic drumming. The album captures the raw and experimental essence of Muslimgauze's sound, characterized by visceral percussion, diverse voices, and sound effects. It reflects the artist's unique position in underground, experimental, and industrial music circles, continuing the innovative and atmospheric style that defines …
Turn On Arabic American Radio
The relationship between Bryn Jones's music as Muslimgauze and the track/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the same title, accidentally or not) has always been a little mysterious. Jones himself can no longer be asked, and as you continue to investigate the swathes of material he provided, you hit sources like the DAT or DATs that make up the contents of the…
Maroon
Separated from both its reputation and its sleeve art, the music of Muslimgauze explores the relationship of visual sensations -- space, color, depth, illusion -- to the listening experience. The music on Maroon is dub-like inspired techno music, laidback with voices appearing randomly in the mix. The thick drums and rich found sounds that densely populate the soundscapes on Maroon give materiality to the warm presence of the synth washes. The music is so layered and textured that it ceases to b…
Tandoor Dog
*2025 Stock* "In 1998 Staalplaat and Muslimgauze were on a conquering spirit. Bryn Jones (1961-1999), the man behind Muslimgauze delivered new works, almost on a weekly basis and was more than happy to see them released straight away. Unlike others, Staalplaat was never shy to release larger works, lumping various works together, such as the 9CD “Box Of Silk & Dogs”. Allowing free reign in editing, the 4LP box set ‘Tandoori Dog”, contained the LP of the same name, which saw only eight out of the…
Autodidact
The first entry in the Ivan The Tolerable archive reissue series - and what a place to start. Originally self-released as a 10" lathe cut on Ack! Ack! Ack! Records in February 2018, now remastered and pressed on limited edition khaki vinyl. 250 copies. This is IT.
Oli Heffernan recorded the bulk of this over a single weekend in January 2018. Living alone in a big house. Not seeing people. Going through what he calls "a very minor breakdown that was to last for pretty much the entire year." Track…
