Hamas Cinema Gaza Strip
In the vast and uncompromising catalog of Muslimgauze, certain works stand as crystalline statements of Bryn Jones's singular vision—albums that distill decades of political engagement and sonic exploration into their most essential form. Hamas Cinema Gaza Strip, composed less than a year before Jones's untimely passing in 1999, emerges as perhaps his most cohesive and sonically refined release, now returning via the MG Archive series in a limited edition of 200 manually screen-printed copies. T…
No Human Rights For Arabs In Israel
In the uncompromising world of Muslimgauze, few releases capture the raw urgency and political fire of Bryn Jones's vision as powerfully as No Human Rights for Arabs in Israel. Now returning via MG Archive Vol. 033 as a double CD in a limited edition of 200 manually screen-printed copies, this confrontational masterpiece stands as one of the most rhythmically relentless and politically potent works in the entire Muslimgauze catalog. The album's genesis reflects the chaotic creative process that …
Über Artaud
After forty years, the enigmatic Italian collective Capricorni Pneumatici's lost opus, Über Artaud, finally emerges complete. Originally conceived in 1987 as an electronic sonorization of Antonin Artaud's censored 1947 radio work "Pour En finir avec le Jugement de Dieu", this mysterious project showcases masterful use of FM synthesis via the iconic Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, creating dark ritualistic soundscapes akin to Throbbing Gristle and Nurse With Wound.
The Vestige
The Vestige is the first fruit of a new intergenerational collaboration between Giuseppe Ielasi, a quietly prolific key contributor to the European experimental music scene for over twenty years, and Jack Sheen, a young composer-conductor-sound artist from Manchester whose recent projects have seen him moving seamlessly from enigmatic chamber music composition and installations to conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
Their materials and working methods differ significantly, with Ielasi havi…
Dead Right
Officer!, an English interjection used to address a police officer, a "bobby" in London, to ask for directions, information, or help. And perhaps, since the 1980s, this word might have taken on a certain authority, aggression, with several exclamation points against these increasingly repressive police forces, under the yoke of the various political regimes of the English right wing (the Torries), an era begun by Mrs. Thatcher, the unstoppable Margaret, who left her mark on her time, her society…
Mutual Consuming
Relay For Death is the noise project of the twin sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula. Their hermetic works consistently reflect a bleak nihilism, all the while carving an autonomous space for survival as the rest of the existence crumbles. Previous works have been published by Hanson, No Rent, Total Black, and RRRecords.
The twins offered the consideration that "Mutual Consuming comes from a concept in the philosophies that underpin traditional Chinese medicine theory, where the two opposing sta…
just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities
Tip! Unlike anything we’ve heard from her before, Okkyung Lee returns to Shelter Press with Just Like Any Other Day (어느날): Background Music For Your Mundane Activities, a deeply intimate body of recordings at the juncture of ambient music, minimalism, and the baroque, that stands as radical intervention with what experimental music can be, and the place that organisations of sound occupy in our lives. For more than two decades, Okkyung Lee has stood at the forefront of the most radical trajector…
Ston Elaióna
John Also Bennett’s Ston Elaióna forms an elegantly rigorous world of electroacoustic sonority, bridging the expanse of time with the immediacies of environment and happening in the here and now: a profound sonic mediation on the countless dimensions unlocked by life in Greece.
Cortado
Francesca Ogbuachi is a Photographer, Writer, Storyteller and music maker from time to time, although she is unable to read music notes. She is Italian, born to Nigerian parents, and her way of speaking and saying things that she usually wouldn't be able to say is predominantly through Photography, Writing, Videography and playing the piano, which has been a very significant part of, not only her way of working ever since it came back in the picture, but especially of her life. Francesca’s work …

Existrances Vol. I
In a world saturated with algorithmic predictability and digital gloss, Jacques Berchten’s Existrances Vol. I emerges as a defiantly analog, deeply personal artifact. Berchten, a Lausanne-based autodidact whose creative life spans over four decades, approaches sound as a painter approaches canvas—layering, erasing, and reimagining the boundaries between disciplines. Existrances is not merely an album, but a “project-symbiosis,” a living dialogue between painting, music, and poetry.
The record un…

Wet Lands Dry Me
K.W. Cahill records and plays electric guitars, lap steel, melodica and karimbas on May to June 2025 time. Mastered by Andrew Weathers.
We're all sitting here and no one's listening. We're just talking over each other while the world spins out of control. Who are you gonna believe if the walls were gone? If everything turned up empty fields? Us just standing around looking at each other and nothing blocking us or protecting us from each other or from ourselves. I'm at war with myself first. Let …

Live At The Hacienda '83
