Hide Behind The Silence EP 3
Vladislav Delay presents the third EP in his "Hide Behind The Silence" series with five 10" releases coming throughout 2023. Intuitive and raw music, momentary and reflective, released on Ripatti's own label "Rajaton". Stillness is a myth. Consider concepts such as ”still water”, or ”still air” for that matter. Go to a restaurant, ask them for a glass of still water, hold it against the light and see where we’re at. Even though the water itself has been captured and imprisoned in the glass, it n…
Synthetic - A Synth Odyssey: Season 2
On Synthetic: Season 2, Halifax pop artist and composer Rich Aucoin continues his journey through the history of synthesizers. The second entry in his quadruple LP series once again features an armada of the world’s most rare, historic, and highly sought after electronic instruments. Gaining access to the collections of Calgary’s National Music Centre and LA’s Vintage Synthesizer Museum, Aucoin ran amok on machines to create four albums of thrilling, transporting instrumental music. Each song on…
Find Yourself Lost
Michael Scott Dawson is a Canadian producer and sound artist. Anchored by frayed melodies, tape loops, and pastoral field recordings he has crafted a body of tender and nostalgic ambient work.
Stilleven
Thijs says: "The idea for this music started with textural, electronic meditations, where time becomes a blur and there is no need for pushing things to happen. You can zoom in or zoom out of the music at any time. This also relates to my fascination or need for longer (or shorter) periods of concentration. In reality one loses focus because of life happening and I feel this record can be enjoyed in the background as well as in a concentrated listening session. The first synthesizer recordings w…
V
* Edition of 54 * Jungle Gym Records presents "V", official return of Eurovisione! Drifting past the ancient-ruin rituals of debut "Litio" (JGT66), Eurovisione transcends to spirit realms with their smartest and most sophisticated body of work to date, a breathtaking collection of fog-swirl ambient, golden-hour fractals and palm-rustling drone, breaking through canopy and into the sky... this time, exclusively for Jungle Gym. Transparent mist cassette with printed shell sticker + double sided J…
Dreaming Eden
The new solo album from João Branco Kyron, aka Kyron from Portuguese group Beautify Junkyards. Dreaming Eden is an electronic reverie comprised of drifting melodies, dusty archive sounds and synthesised rhythms.It feels like the soundtrack to a dream, in that nothing stays fixed, melodies develop then collapse, strident rhythms strike up and then unravel into fragments. And like a dream it’s hard to pin down in time- the overall sound is not quite contemporary, and neither is it a vintage re-ena…
Im Tal der Stutzer
You might've caught CV Vision in Berlin, either on stage or behind the mixer at some of his favourite clubs like Arkaoda, Heiners or O Tannenbaum. He could be accompanied by synths, or drum kit, or even full band – channelling his love of Bo Hansson and Claude Larson, or Soft Machine and Picchio dal Pozzo. Always heavy on the backbeat, the songs awash with heady synths and expansive psych inversions. Taking inspiration from deep in the mediaeval mists of times long past, CV Vision comes riding o…
Cas-Con II
As part of our series "Experimental Electronic Underground GDR", we are very pleased to be able to make a very special recording available again. On the evening of 3.9.1986, the privately announced and illegal concert took place in the Erlöserkirche in East Berlin/GDR. Montgomery mixed Schnitzler's music live from the tapes. Jörg Thomasius recorded the performance and released the recording in 1987 on his own underground cassette label Krötenkassetten. The elaborately restored original recording…
Arles
Renowned acid cosmologist Johannes Auvinen, best known by his alias Tin Man, leaves the club floor behind for a full-length kosmische excursion on Bureau B. Since his first Tin Man records nearly 20 years ago, Auvinen has impelled acid—in the grand tradition of Phuture and co.—into shapes and forms heretofore uncharted. He does it again on his latest, "Arles," exploring a new realm of impressionistic beauty where pristine, heartfelt melodies dance delicately atop austere motorik rhythms. It's a …
Momentaufnahme II
Originally part of 2021’s Faust Box Set release commemorating the bands 50th anniversary Momentaufnahme I and II are now set for their own stand alone release by popular demand. This is for all those that missed out on the limited edition box set release. They collect together music recorded at the band's studio - a converted schoolhouse in rural Wümme between 1971 and 1974 in a similar vein to the way in which 'The Faust Tapes’ (released in 1973) was assembled. These two albums range from minim…

I Need A Slow
Krishna Goineau was born in Sri Lanka in 1963. He spent his youth in the 1970s in Barcelona, where he met Javier Hernando in 1978 to found the post-punk group Xeerox. In 1981 Goinau moved to Düsseldorf, where he met Christo Haas and Beate Bartel. He became the singer of the joint project Liaisons Dangereuses and lent his unmistakable voice to the band's big hit ("Los Niños Del Parque"). At the end of the 1980s Krishna Goineau lived in Brussels and became the singer and keyboardist of the groups…
Ophio
For eight years now, songwriter and producer Sebastian Lee Philipp has been steering his project Die Wilde Jagd through the field of tension between contemporary electronic music and avant-pop. Between 2015 and 2020, three studio albums were produced as documents of Philipp's rigorous musical creativity. Most recently, «Atem», a composition for Roadburn Festival, was released in 2022, documenting yet another, more experimental side of the project. On the new, eagerly awaited fourth album, all th…
John Peel BBC Sessions 97-99
*300 copies limited edition* Without a doubt, To Rococo Rot are an exception within the German music landscape. From 1995 until they broke up in 2014, the group around Robert Lippok, Ronald Lippok and Stefan Schneider researched a unique sound between electronic music, ambient, post-melancholy and the further development of a new, free music like krautrock. Pitchfork described their sound as "unmistakably digital, yet 100% human". With releases on labels such as Kitty-Yo, City Slang and Mute Re…
Images
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Colin Andrew Sheffield's "Images" was entirely constructed from heavily edited and manipulated samples from jazz records. These eight electroacoustic mosaics range in style from lush ambient loops to jarring tones like the wails of the damned. Chopped drum solos appear and retreat along with spiraling piano fragments; saxophone and trumpet scraps clash or fall in time with disfigured bass rumblings, etcetera. These song-length explorations are detailed, atmosphe…
TO/OT
*200 copies limited edition* With the present "TO/OT", the duo comprising Orsi and TeZ (Clock Dva) continue in a straight line along the 'furrow' already traced with the previous "OT/TO", inverting the 'position' of the roles in the control room compared to it. Electronic patterns and programmed rhythmic parts make up these load-bearing plots that describe a synthetic universe adjacent to the one traversed by the first cosmic couriers, where filters emphasise the progressions, and soft and evoca…
Voices
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Involving electric drone music; static backgrounds surrounded by occasional field recordings, distortions, hums, metallic sounds, gongs, Tibetan bowls with subliminal oriental suggestions. Compositions that are sometimes coloured or guided by short, deep, hypnotic melodic phrasings of electric guitar, hints of slide guitar, pounding piano notes, or violated by sudden modulations of sibilant electronic waves alternating with bombastic electric pulsations; chaotic …
The Visions Of A Dream Traveller
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* A new work for the 'Like the Snow' project by Luca Mazzariol, a remarkable Italian artist who in three years has put out as many CDs of excellent music of difficult stylistic cataloguing, among whose textures - always strongly evocative and of great emotional impact - alternate dreamy and romantic atmospheres, passages with an epic and almost 'orchestral' pace, eclectic rhythmic digressions sometimes coloured by more distinctly electronic sounds, delicate ambient…
Il Ritorno Degli Inverni Freddi
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Eight 'watercolours' of 'classic' ambient music with nuanced and delicate hues... Eight touching instrumental 'landscapes' painted through soft and sober sonorities, barely whispered melodies, an ever-changing play of light and shadow with a flavour as hypnotic as it is relaxing. A continuous observation of the surrounding landscape through swaying leaves and windswept tree foliage, catching and capturing in the apparent stillness every little movement, every ele…
Oeuvres Complètes
Violet Vinyl Edition. 40th-anniversary edition. Korpses Katatonik was a musical solo project of Zoe DeWitt during the years 1982 and 1983. Unlike DeWitt's later project Zero Kama, the work of Korpses Katatonik remains entirely within the realm of electronic music and shows an uncompromising experimental style comparable to that of other industrial bands like Coil, Throbbing Gristle, SPK, or Cabaret Voltaire. Like many other exponents of industrial culture Korpses Katatonik was inspired by dark p…
