Eve
2025 stock Winter’s most precious gift is its snow-muffled hush. eve, the first full-length collaboration between zakè and Benoît Pioulard, pays tribute to the kind of supernatural December night where fleeting moments of peace manifest in visible exhalations and crystalline silence.
Comprising four side-length pieces, eve arose from more than a decade’s worth of sound fragments, recovered and arranged into harmonic strata like photographs in a family album. For each chapter, zakè crafted the so…
Pulse 01

'PULSE 01' is the first release in PITP's new series, which is an ongoing exploration of ambient tech, while offering a more structured display of beat-driven ambient music. Pulse 01 features brand new tracks by SYNE and Influx.
SYNE is Dennis Huddleston from the UK, who is most recognized for his ambient work as 36. He returns to his SYNE alias for…
Repetition Hymns
2025 stock Past Inside The Present is pleased to announce Repetition Hymns, a double album from the enigmatic Black Swan. Comprised of 19 vignettes, the relatively short tracks impart a strong forward momentum despite the 80-minute runtime. Repetition Hymns is thus particularly well-suited to the temporal distortion of quarantine, in which each day feels like an endless repeating loop. Our bleeding hearts are in need of drone like never before. In the decade since the release of In 8 Movements, …
From The End Of Time
Across the entirety of From the End of Time, the new album by Black Swan, an eerily desolate wind forms the base layer for swells of disembodied choirs, haunting piano, mangled tapes, and scores of other unplaceable, vividly textured sounds. According to the artist, its environment “is meant to evoke the aftermath of a collapsed society,” but does so while pulling every possible vestige of beauty from the ruins, with the reverent melancholy of a classical requiem.
Like previous album Ghost (2024…
Pulse 02
2025 stock 'PULSE 02' is the second installment of Past Inside the Present's 'Pulse' series.

My Heart, My Beloved
Zakè Drone Recordings is very proud to present My Heart, My Beloved, a special collection commemorating a landmark birthday in the life of label head Zach Frizzell’s wife and main inspiration, Julia. Three artists – awakened souls, Benoit Pioulard, and zakè himself – each offer a pair of recordings, cumulatively covering a vast emotional territory and sonic palette.
awakened souls (aka Cynthia and James Bernard, veterans of Frizzell’s Past Inside the Present label) based “Valleys and Peaks” on J…
Canti Vol. I
The debut EP by ONDAKEIKI sits halfway between a meditation session and a wild beach party, where reggae rhythms meet post-punk angularity and hypnotic psychedelia. Wrapped in a warm blanket of reverb and delay, the four long songs strike a delicate balance between fun and spirituality. While the pulsating basslines hit you square in the chest, drums, guitar, keys and effects flutter around like hummingbirds, and the vocals paint pictures of transcendent journeys where oneness with nature, peace…
Second
When you’re running a label, a demo occasionally comes across your desk that makes you reconsider everything you thought your label was all about. For Balmat, such was the case with this stunning album from Stephen Vitiello, Brendan Canty, and Hahn Rowe. It sounds like nothing we’ve released so far—and that very otherness opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us. Fans of ambient, experimental electronic music, and sound art will be familiar with Vitiello, a New York native, long based…

Wounds of Melody
*200 copies limited edition* Furtherset, the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi, debuts with his first album for Kohlhaas, the sixth in his career, 'Wounds of Melody'. A layered image of devastation and beauty, where Renaissance tears merge with the incandescence and violence of phosphorus, the artwork is the first encounter in the emotional itinerary that unfolds in the five tracks making up the LP. Over its forty-one minutes, the album's beatless but me…

The Washington Post calls it "riveting, gorgeous."

No Floor
More Eaze and Claire Rousay’s collaborations are effortlessly joyful, their music evoking the warmth and respect they have for each other. Their bond goes back to their youthful hometown of San Antonio, Texas where they played in country outfits and noise rock bands respectively, and each pushed their music to extend beyond the traditions and conventions of genre. more eaze (the moniker of violinist/multi-instrumentalist mari maurice) and rousay have spent the past decade pushing boundaries, sta…
Space Elements Vol. III
2025 stock According to Rafael Toral, the Space Program is all about a simple idea: to perform abstract electronic music under jazz values. The result is full of fascinating paradoxes: "melodic without notes, rhythmic without a beat, familiar but strange, meticulous but radically free." Taiga now releases its most eloquent example so far: "Space Elements Vol. III is the strongest and musically most diverse statement within Rafael Toral's Space Program to date. You will experience "jazz on electr…
