Platonic Tales
Jules Archive is a project founded by Marco Marzuoli and Marco Mazzei in 2016. By employing various technologies, instruments, and approaches, the duo strives to craft a mysterious and fantastical persona named Jules. Through this persona, they aim to immerse listeners in a dreamlike atmosphere, transcending reality and dwelling in imaginary spatiotemporal dimensions.
Platonic Tales is the second chapter of Jules' journeys, more anthropocentric than the first album Adventures & Explorations (Vol…
Musique Original De Films, Volume Deux
Habibi Funk is thrilled to share a second collection of deep grooves and unreleased songs from Algeria's Ahmed Malek, often compared to Italian heavyweight Ennio Morricone. Malek's music effortlessly switches between thematic jazz, funk, reggae and Algerian folk – creating indelible soundscapes that intersect the musical innovations made in African jazz by Mulatu Astatke, Bembeya Jazz National along with some of Europe's finest experimental composers like Piero Piccioni and Janko Nilovic. "Musiq…
Whispered Something Good
Circling guitar lines; the rise of fall of delicate bass; deep, breathy horns: sonic elements that exist in a state of slow, perpetual motion, like ideas sprouting from some kind of cognitive compost. With wonder and charm, G. S. Schray's new solo album, Whispered Something Good, evokes a realm of new growth while offering a fitting soundtrack for its exploration, as if tailor made for both the daydreamer and silly adventurer. We start in the darkness of "Unlit Center" with elliptical phrases of…
Sylphine Soporifera
Air is the central element in Antonina Nowacka's third solo album Sylphine Soporifera. The title names an imaginary species and the land they inhabit, inspired by the unreal desert landscape of Paracas and the undulating tree-less hills of the Outer Hebrides, and comes from the writings of Rudolf Steiner, who describes creatures called Sylphs as the spirits of the air, and the Latin word sopor which means deep sleep. As with all her releases, Nowacka's other-worldly vocals coming as if from beyo…
Eleven Tension
A duo of irony, smoke, and mirrors, computer musician Tom Mudd and percussionist/violist Áron Porteleki operate at either side of the same see-saw, teetering between realms of digital and tangible soundscapes. Mudd's artistic voyage is anchored in the realm of physical modelling synthesis, an exploration of the nuanced interplay between software and improvised music, delving deep into the multifaceted realms of algorithmic composition and digital sonic artistry. Meanwhile, Porteleki's expansive…
Toon
Slovakian producer Monika Subrtova presents her first solo LP ‘Toon’ - a collection of chilly visions drawing on influences from 90s Electronica, Techno and film composition. Until recently, the majority of Subrtova’s work has been released and performed alongside Daniel Kordik under their raucous project Jamka. Whether working collaboratively or alone - Subrtova adopts the spirit of modular synthesis, allowing music to unfurl naturally through presence with the machines and progressive paramete…
Binomial Cascades
Tip! "I just released a new album as my solo project, Agencement. This is a follow-up album to 'Six Juxtaposed Works', which was released in 2017 on the Copenhagen label Tochnit Aleph. It's been about 35 years since I produced 'vinyl' by myself, so it's very emotional, although since the 1990s, it has become difficult to manufacture vinyl LPs in Japan and there were no channels to outsource overseas because I was disappointed in the situation. Musically, I think it's a further step in the direct…
Gateway
Joining their newly launched Luminessence audiophile vinyl-reissue series, the legendary imprint, ECM, digs deep into their own vaults and comes up with an absolute gem: the guitarist John Abercrombie, the bassist Dave Holland, and the drummer Jack DeJohnette’s groundbreaking 1975 LP “Gateway”. Rooted in approaches drawn from free jazz and unquestionably springing from both Holland and DeJohnette’s time working in Miles Davis’ electric fusion band at the end of the 1960s and early '70s, it’s a r…
7 Uthras
*200 copies limited edition* Second opus from MZ 412 co-founder Jouni Ollila. Ulvtharm is painting his world as a sprawling, post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland, where humanity clings to survival in the shadows of monolithic factories and decaying cities. Skies choked with ash, and a sun that seldom breaks through the omnipresent smog. Within this landscape, the Seven Uthras exist not as beings of benevolence, but as ancient, god-like entities that emanate from the darkest depths of the earth,…

Imagine: It’s sometime in the back half of the 19th century, America. You’re sitting in the parlor of your mansion, or in the only room of your shack; things are dusty and smell like sweat and hair, no matter how wealthy you may be. You don’t own a phonograph, and you don’t know who Tony Hawk is, but…

Accept When
"We wrote “Accept When” between 2022 and 2023, after a long, beautiful period improvising together intimately in the safety of a friend’s practice space. Our friendship, the quality of attention that colored the light of that and all our other practice spaces, became the basis for our activity and growth as songwriters and our relationship as improvisers. Friendship, how we relate to each other, is our nucleus: the central and essential part of our movement; the positively charged central core o…
Sound Is (Our) Sustenance
Dawn choruses of waning whimpering solos were once gigantic ensembles bellowing for each other to be reproduced. Sound sustains life and light bodies, even the flickering (ones). Sound is (our) sustenance. The silence is approaching and we have nowhere to go. When spring becomes silent, this time, we are the sickness.

Clearing
“Peridot dives right in, and so I will. It’s a gemstone, peridot, and may become your favorite gemstone (as it has mine since I’ve dug in to its history and cultural significance). I like volcanoes and volcanic land formations. “Peridot,” the musical piece presented here by Powers/Rolin, is soundtrack to memories of in-person witnessed lava floes and the infinite parade of Herzogian docu-footage of rivers of fire and constructive destruction. There are edits or augmentations evident, creating (o…
Pajazzo
The Finnish/Italian improvisational collective makes a comeback after the acclaim of 'Gan-Ri-La.' This time, they grace Pelto Studio with their presence, offering a groovy free jazz encounter filled with unexpected twist

Howl
Limited edition of 500 + 12" art print. Daisy Rickman’s second full-length album Howl. The Cornish painter and musician has drawn inspiration from the landscape of her home county and created a collection of ethereal, out-of-time, psychy, pastoral folk songs in homage to, in Daisy’s own words: “the sun, the stars, and explorations of the cycles both within ourselves and throughout the turning wheel of the year.” The album sleeve, inner sleeve and art print all feature paintings made by Daisy Ric…
Hatred
** Housed in a 6 panel fold out cover ** Definatly one of the grimmest releases on UE so far... a swarm of bees are after you in your own house, they're everywhere and you can't run out either cos in front of the only door of your "crib" the half man half beast god rapist is waiting for you... if this creature whispers it's 56 times louder then a normal human being, if it touches you softly with it's fingernails you'll bleed to death, if it walks you'll hear a pounding stomp from miles away... i…
Dramatic Accessories
** 2024 lucky restock, sold out at the source ** Luckily John Wiese doesn't need any introduction, mang did 1234's of collabs, released tons of beauties on his own helicopter label, played with sunn o)) and is a great graphic designer! This record is painfully harsh at times and even more painfully sensitive at times! Less a wall of nuttery and buckets full of zist and garbage thrown at your head, more of an aural test to see how much teasing your insides and your flappy ears can stand. A collec…
