Electronic Jugoton Vol 1 - Synthetic Music From Yugoslavia 1980-1989
Electronic Jugoton part 1 is officially opened by the band Laboratorija with the song Devica 69, which opens a window to a completely new and experimental world in former Yugoslavia. Laboš and Luketić have boldly chosen the material without reservations, suggesting that for the first time in one place we have a section of forgotten, unique underground bands like Beograd, Data, Brazil, The Master Scratch band, DU DU A and beyond. Besides the excellent underground bands, we find popular performers…
Winterstille
*In process of stocking. 300 copies limited edition* Alpine Drone from the very depths of misty forests and snowy mountains. A mystic journey through Alpine nature appearing in front of your inner eyes. Winterstille is a unique conceptual album, Rauhnåcht will not become an ambient act, no worries Black Metal folks!
Bitchin Bajas
Bitchin Bajas' second, self-titled album finds the experimental trio blending musicial personalities of the past to create their own sonic identity. There are no forced attempts at edginess, even though their simple techniques keep the music loose and live-sounding.
Tkać
LED and Love Sounds (2015) is Forsberg’s first sound-and-light piece. The piece is made of frozen and processed violin sounds. The drones are slowly changing, providing minimal repetitions that never stay the same. ”A slow transition from playing on my instrument, to play only my electronics. Letting the violin hang there with me on stage, listening to itself. Following how the drones slowly change, minimal repetitions that never stay the same. And you can hear the gallery clearly, it moves some…
Fly By Night
Artist's notes: "Originally disseminated as a digital-only release on my now dormant label Pink Pamphlet in 2014, ‘Fly By Night’ now gets a proper release via the Stockholm label Thanatosis Produktion. Since my early 20s the electric guitar has been a constant companion and assistant in my compositional work. Although I'm a much better pianist than guitarist, I've often found my relatively poor “fretboard awareness” to be a valuable asset in terms of focussing my intuitive hearing away from my m…
Vending Machine
Joakim Forsgren and Andreas Hiroui Larsson come from diametrically different perspectives on music. Hiroui Larsson has a background in acoustic jazz and non-idiomatic improvisation, while Forsgren has played electric bass in punk and rock groups since his early teenage years. The two being friends since several years, making music gradually became a way of spending more time together. Their way of collaborating began after several years of talking about doing so and sharing and discussing music …
Stylophonika
*In process of stocking* An experiment in collective noise making, the Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra was created by Dr Leah Kardos in early 2019. Through legendary producer Tony Visconti, Leah was introduced to Stylophone manufacturer Dubreq, who donated a collection of new and vintage instruments to Visconti Studio's analogue instrument archive, based at the University. At the sight of a car boot full of Stylophones, Leah found herself wondering aloud if a musical ensemble using the …
Alone... Forever
*In process of stocking* Imagine waking up and discovering everyone you thought you knew was someone else all along, and they have all deceived you and stabbed you in the back. The world now begins to melt around you and you start to convince yourself that it's still a dream, but in reality your life has become a living nightmare.
You are now standing by yourself, alone, looking out over the nothing that was once your home town. The only place to run and hide is inside your own mind. So you make…

Winds Of The Dead Air
Call it favouritism or prejudice or whatever, but groups who claim to be influenced by This Heat are considered a bit of a front for yours truly...and look how predictable we are: Cape Fear belongs in this list. Cape Fear is the brainchild of Laurent Perrier who once played with the band Nox and belongs to one of the better known indus acts from France.In 1997, however, Laurent called it a day and started his solo project of which "Drift towards the heat" was the first egg. Apparently, Laurent w…

9 Times Sanity
*Originalo copy from first edition. 1984* 'Problemist are a San Francisco group that quietly makes tapes and communicates with experimental bands around the world. Organized religion is the target here, not only as a big business, but also on its subtle effect on people’s fears and behaviors. But this isn’t a noise band; it’s a mixture of electronic and rock that is aggressive, eerie, and not too arty.' - MRR
