C6Fe2RN6
*300 copies limited edition* Excited to unveil the self-titled debut record from a new duo of Rob Mazurek & Nick Terry - C6Fe2RN6! The Marfa-based duo's music sprouted from a mutual admiration for each other's visual art (Nick Terry primarily being known for his visual art, but get ready to hear more of his musical work) and eventually turned into regular get togethers to chat and play music. What you hear in C6Fe2RN6 is what happened in Mazurek's Marfa Experimental Studio, haunting and ephemera…

Ictum Exercises (Polyrhythmic Studies)
In November 2020 Phill Niblock sent out an email informing a group of us that Experimental Intermedia planned to have their usual December concert series.

I, along with Earl Howard, Marcia Bassett & Bob Bellerue, Gill Arno, Mike Bullock, Lars Åkerlund, Matthias Kaiser & Hans Tammen and Austin Larkin were asked to perform from our own home/studio/space either live or prerecorded. At the time, I wa…
Istikhbars and Improvisations
*2024 repress* Mustapha Skandrani. Besides having an excellent name, this man, a luminary of Algerian music, possessed a unique musical sense, able to transcend the borders of musical cultures to create a distinctive fusion of Arabo-Andalusian and European styles. "Istikhbars and Improvisations", recorded in 1965 in Paris, is a solo piano album presenting a trans-Mediterranean crossover based on traditional Algerian vocal pieces known as Istikhbars. Playing these istikhbars (which have roots in …
Doo's Blues (The 1967 Belgian Radio Recordings)
Sdban Records is proud to present Doo’s Blues, a collection of previously unreleased radio recordings capturing Serbian jazz trumpeter, composer and band leader Dusko Goykovich (1931-2023) at the moment he definitively established himself as one of Europe’s most distinctive jazz artists.

He studied at the Belgrade Music Academy from 1948 to 1953, playing trumpet in Dixieland bands…
Obsessions
Temporary super offer! Obsessions' is clearly a cult single of the era and one of their personal highlights. The band recorded the 4 track live in April 1982 and then reprocessed the take at Kindergarten Studio. The twelve inch was then released on the highly influential indie label Materiali Sonori. Neon is still considered as a legend of the Italian new-wave scene, one of the leading figure of the Florence underground movement that spread between the late '70s and the early' 80s.
Maghreb Cantata, Live 1969
Temporary super offer! ** Much-needed repress ** A marvellous double album as document of the historical collaboration between Don Cherry and Swiss pianist, composer George Gruntz, a central figure in European Jazz who always showed a special interest in extending his solid post bop skills through other languages such as ethnic or even baroque music. This is North-African deep flavoured Jazz recorded live in Tunisia and Germany in May and September 1969, with Cherry (cornet, flute) and Gruntz (p…
Live In Europe
Temporary super offer! This is Archie Shepp caught live at two important European festivals in 1973. At the head of some sort of one-off line up featuring Dave Burrell on piano, Donald Garret on bass along with her partner Zusaan Fasteau on percussion, flute and vocals, and last but not least Muhammad Ali (Rashid's brother) on drums, Shepp, heard on tenor and soprano saxes and piano, delivers a full program of hot renditions of mostly standards by the likes of Ellington, Monk and Davis, plus a c…
Butterfly Mushroom
2nd Volume of the perfect pairing Brötzmann & Nilssen-Love! Recorded at Zuiderpershuis in Antwerp, August 2015. Liner notes-transcription of an interview with Peter Brötzmann.
Dead Body Love
199 copies with new note by Gabriele Giuliani, the creative force behind Dead Body Love. It feels like I’ve been writing about Dead Body Love for as long as I have been recording harsh noise. What else can be said? I can’t express enough how much of an influence Italian harsh noise has had on my own personal works, but It also lets me and several peers investigate the techniques and styles of the 1990s harsh noise and the atmosphere that was created expressed from different regions of the world.…
Mechanic Asphyxia
The limited edition reissue of Atrax Morgue's Mechanic Asphyxia offers a haunting exploration of sound, originally released as a double tape on Slaughter Productions.

Elpelele
Bent Window presents the third full length from Bradung (The Hague, Netherlands) titled "Elpelele". The band consists of the core members MDGRS (Lugubrum) & BLTZR (ex-Urfaust) taking on bizarro neo-psychedelia, field recordings and ritualistic ambient all alongside a dash of humour for good measure. With "Elpelele" prepare yourself for a mescaline fuelled shot to the eardrum, dazzling the mind into sleepless nights and hedonistic delights. Enjoy your libations!
Politique du silence
"When I discovered the simple and powerful black and white pictures by Valéry Lorenzo, in the 90s, I immediately fell in love with them. We became good friends and since then I ask him to let me use one of his photos for most of my album covers, or to make my portrait for press shots. It has become a real collaboration, music and images, for more than 25 years. It was then logical to ask him again for the cover of this box set, like a gentle reflection on my piano and strings era. It's a true ho…
This Year in Coconuts Vol. 2
Exquisitely compiled by Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F. Cardoso from three tapes released earlier this year by the tireless mind-body of Spencer Clark through his own Pacific City Sound Visions, 'This Year In Coconuts Vol. 2' is another revelation into the deeply personal sound world of this true voyager of both ancient, present and forthcoming times. Coming from a truly singular artist, capable of conveying multiple visions into a labyrinthine-esque mythology all ofhis own, these seven tracks…
Open Soul
Released in 1976 by Chicago's local label Stage Productions, this is the only album by a 6-piece soul band centered around the four Burton brothers. The original version is rarely available on the market, and when it does sell for over US$1000, it's no exaggeration to say that it's the ultimate collector's edition that everyone wants at least once! Starting with the epic and groovy funk "Open Soul" (B1) that uses the entire B-side of the record and lasts over 20 minutes, the superb funky tune "L…
Nosferatu
Robin Carolan’s latest soundtrack for Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated Nosferatu is a haunting, gothic-infused and meticulously crafted work that draws from a vast palette of sounds, instruments, and inspirations. Following their successful collaboration on The Northman, Carolan reunites with Eggers to bring the legendary tale of Nosferatu to life, infusing the film with a score that is as complex and nuanced as the story itself.
Set in the 1800s, Nosferatu allowed Carolan to incorporate contem…
Nattåg
*200 copies limited edition* The re-release of the 2 seminal psych/prog albums by San Michael’s, the self-titled (1971) one and Nattåg (1972), overlaps not at all coincidentally with the appearance of Kaipa’s 15th studio album Sommargryningsljus, as the fabular universe of the latter revolves around counterfactual rebirth, that is, becoming (re)born as one is getting older. These 2 evergreen albums, essential for savvy collectors of Scandinavian psych/prog, showcase the smooth progression toward…
