Cogitate
Cogitate is the first release from NYC local Promoter and an invitation to gaze inward and sit with sound. Borne of hours lost in loops, Promoter calls forth deep, dubby bass rumble, off-kilter rhythms and murky atmospherics, relishing in repetition and evolving subliminally but surely. Disorienting, engaging and engulfing, Cogitate is the 4th release on NYC-based Patience, catching you off guard then inviting you in.
Cogitate offers two cuts from the same cloth - one locked into the grid, the o…

Aperio!
* 180 gram Vinyl * The title of Miki Yui’s seventh solo album “Aperio!” is derived from the latin origin of April, "aperire" meaning “to open” or “to reveal”. Hinting at the way her music unveils another reality which is hidden beneath the surface. The title also reflects the aperiodic character of the music, its irregularity. Like a magic word to reveal the mysterious cosmos, each song opens up another intimate world of wonders."All my work emerges from my physical experience, the inspiration o…
Preparing For Power
Mannequin and Platform 23 Records reissue what is considered to many the most complete album by perennial anarcho-outsiders Bourbonese Qualk. The last recorded album at their South London squat, The Ambulance Station on the Old Kent Road, and again released on their own Recloose Organisation, saw the band develop further beyond the limits of the post-punk / industrial scene where genres increasingly became redundant.
Ethno, jazz, funk and EBM are all buried deep in the album as it seeks independ…

This record is an "imaginary soundtrack" to Anthony Burgess's book. It is NOT IN ANY WAY to be confused with Kubrick's superb score to his excellent film.

Stones of Precious Water
The title of guitarist Barry Cleveland’s 1986 album - Stones of Precious Water - conjures images of incandescent gems, harvested from hallowed streams and held aloft to glimmer and catch the light in their many facets. And perhaps this is the truest analogue for the music contained therein. Recorded between 1981 and 1983, in mostly improvised recording sessions, the disparate nature of Stones’ creation is alluded to only by the breadth and variety of sounds it encompasses. Stones of Precious Wat…
Heroin
**LP + 12".

Warschauer Straße
* Edition of 300 * The two compositions on Warschauer Straße are inspired by a first visit to Berlin. The titles of the album and the two works might not seem to be very common or memorable places in Berlin to refer to, though for me personally they mean a lot. After the first visit in begin 2016 I went back several times and had some really good moments which still come back to memory regularly. Be it sitting in Mauerpark, walking up the stairs of Siegessäule, eating chocolate in front of Franz…
Somniatores
* Edition of 100 in A5 sized folder. * Somniātōrēs is is the second album I recorded about sleep. This is a follow up to the album Music for Thái Ngọc which was released in October 2016. For this album I reworked several pieces from the "Sæti" EP and the album "Suppressing an unpleasant feeling..." album as one new recording. While still being recognizable the sound has become even more dreamy and warmer, and there is more room for long sustained drone sounds.
Already for a long time I wanted to…
