New Environments & Rhythm Studies
New Environments & Rhythm Studies finds Andrew Pekler returning to the humid zones he explored on previous albums such as Sounds From Phantom Islands and Tristes Tropiques. Split between longer immersive compositions and shorter glimpse-like sketches, these 12 tracks feature new juxtapositions of Pekler's familiar palette of synthetic field recordings, warm, undulating electronic textures, shifting percussion patterns and serene melodies.  As with much of his recent work, Pekler's compositions h…
Scilence
David Jackman / Organum unveils a new chapter in his exploration of monumental, shifting sound structures with this latest release on Die Stadt. Picking up where works like Flames of Fire left off, the artist continues his singular journey into the alchemy of resonance and time, crafting immersive experiences that hover between density and dissolution, weight and weightlessness. The first disc draws the listener in with the familiar Organum signature—a thick, metallic drone humming with harmonic…
Steadfast
This is the seventh and last release in the Die Stadt CD series. Even though David Jackman gets the credit in the title, the music itself is pure Organum electronics—dense, noisy, and exactly what fans would expect. Emerging as a meditative gesture within the long and enigmatic arc of David Jackman’s output, Steadfast stands as both a summation and a deepening of concerns that have occupied him for decades. Issued as a double CD by Die Stadt, the release captures Jackman—best known for his work …
Flames Of Fire
David Jackman (Organum) presents "Flames of Fire", a mesmerizing 47-minute composition titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The piece unfolds with a metallic hum, evoking the resonant vibrations of a sitar, before dissolving into vast, shimmering drones that stretch into infinity. Departing from his work as Organum Electronics, this recording embraces a more organic sound while retaining subtle electronic textures. A sinuous, undulating tone weaves through the composition, …
Interactive Pictures Vol. 2
*100 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* Stéréogramme returns with the second opus of his “Interactive Pictures” series. Walking the same road as last year, paved with new age, freak folk and leftfield synths, the Paris-based label also ventures to new paths like minimalism, no wave and vocal experimentations. Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Hé…
Antique Fantasia Vol. 4: Polonius 2
Tip! *50 copies limited edition* After introducing Babau for the inaugural cassette, the second installment of the sunitty focus showcases another contributor of the “Vapordub” V/A, with Egyptian Seif Gaber aka Polonius, dear friend of Artetetra, where he released the “Anaxia” and “Shades of Paradise” timeless yet time-bending cassettes (January and March 2019). For the occasion the Milano-based musician exhumed the fourth opus of his Antique Fantasia series, a saga of six demo-tapes recorded be…
All The Gurls Were At The Women's Archo Ashinto
*50 copies limited edition.* “All The Gurls Were At The Women’s Archo Ashinto” is the new work by post-exoticist duo Babau, a project of Matteo Pennesi and Luigi Monteanni, both founders of Artetetra, a label and platform pursuing practice-based sound research on digital folklore and internet world music, which they term Quinto Mondo; a spin on Jon Hassel’s Fourth World. After releasing their own output on labels such as Discrepant, Communion and Artetetra and being selected as SHAPE+ alumni 202…
Live Excerpts
*100 copies limited edition* Long time no see dear Louis! Part of our 2019 inaugural BST001 V/A tape, Eiger Drums Propaganda returns today to Bamboo Shows with his “Live Excerpts” LP. Formerly a so-called collective, now happily unmasked as a schizophrenic one-man band, the French multi-instrumentist gathers here a collection of twelve acts recorded live. Not a proper album, nor a simple compilation, yet a real insight on Louis De La Gorce’s playful explorations over the past three years. Beyond…
La Croix Des Cros
*100 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Two years after the acclaimed ‘Darkos LP’, Jonquera is back to Charlieu’s surrounding vales for his second album on Bamboo Shows. Through ‘La Croix des Cros’, the French Musician delivers a loner-folk eclogue about the fantasized inner demons of a country dweller. Just like clay, audio recordings here are a malleable substance, slowly reworked over a year, following a sinuous production process where all mishaps are welcomed as breaches to step into.Far …
Coalyqsta
*75 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Have you ever wondered about liquid crystals’ consciousness? We bet you haven’t. Then, are you familiar with the concept of panpsychism, the view that all things have a mind or a mind-like quality?

B.L.E.V.E
*50 copies limited edition* An industrial incident, a long live act, a four hands portrait. There comes the third opus of Meth.O.Tapes label catalogue, in a dense, deep fog. Following a first album out on Big Science Records, the duo Warzabart sets up a throbbing nightmare, a mental image of what a « BLEVE » is, namely a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion.

Yétèkpãnra
*60 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* There are nights carved like the journey of the dead out of the livings' daylight. Mert Seger brings to our senses a two steps ritual for this debut on Kump. « Yétèkpãnra », freely inspired by the funeral rites of the Batãmmariba of Togo and Benin depicted by Dominique Sewane, runs along with no clear beginning nor any end, a sound sketch where the shapeless rustle from the depths of the night meets a procession of artefacts. In this space where the dead …
A Typical Night In The Pit
300 copies. A Typical Night in the Pit is a collection of new music by Los Angeles' Nick Malkin. It is an album that finds the artist absorbed in the density and chaos of the urban complex. It is unquestionably an "LA album", but not the LA of hi-fi listening bars and twinkling, Instagram-ready new age. Rather, Malkin navigates something more akin to the LA found in the films of Robert Altman or Alan Rudolph -- overheated, tense, hazy, frayed -- with blue-lit, nocturnal compositions that at time…
Contemplative Figuration
300 copies limited edition With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coa…
Objet Dirt
*300 copies limited edition* New solo album by Eric Lanham (aka Carl Calm) of the Caboladies. Over the past fifteen years, Florida-based multi-instrumentalist Eric Lanham has quietly generated a diverse and remarkable body of work both as a solo artist and in group settings. From the disorienting drone/collage ecstasies of Caboladies, his trio with Christopher Bush (Flanger Magazine) and Ben Zoeller, to wildly divergent solo flights under both his own name and as Carl Calm, Lanham's carefully me…
Cold Clay From The Middle West
*300 copies limited edition* Iggy goes West! Soda Gong welcomes back Kansas City-based musician Iggy Romeu with his latest collection as Mister Water Wet. Cold Clay from the Middle West is a (characteristically) sharp left turn from his last two records, with Romeu offering up a surprising and addictive mélange of crackpot Americana and smoky noir beat science. "Cold Clay Suite" opens the record, a five-part ride into the sunset that features Cooder-esque guitars, cat-gut fiddle, horse-hoof perc…
First Issue
Previously unreleased version of Public Image Limited’s debut album that was re-recorded and remixed for release (with alternate artwork from original release) in 1979 via Warners in the US and Canada, but ultimately shelved. This is the holy grail for fans of John Lydon’s post-Sex Pistols band. A stunning debut and landmark release for the post-punk movement of the late ‘70s. PiL’s debut single ‘Public Image’, we are set to reissue the pioneering group’s debut album First Issue, available for t…

1966
2025 stock This compilation documents part of an exciting, and somewhat neglected period in Australasian jazz. Recorded in Sydney (1966), we can hear Bernie McGann was already one of the great Australian jazz stylists. But at the time the only publicly available recording he made was two tracks on the JAZZ AUSTRALIA compilation (1967) (CBS BP 233450). All five tunes are also early recordings of two New Zealand greats - Kim Paterson and Andy Brown, who were living in Sydney at the time. Two years…
A Banda Tropicalista Do Duprat
Dated 1968 this Rogerio Duprat album still sounds as a wild mix of pop-rock elements and various forms of Brazilian music. Infectious Latin rhythms, astonishing covers of US and UK hits of the era, easy listening atmospheres and a variety of odd arrangements. A must for all Tropicalists out there!
Mondo Vision: A Pictorial Survey of Mondo 2000
"Mondo imagined a future more far-out than any of its time. In its pages, readers glimpsed a hyper-accelerationist consumer dream of cyberspace made all more frighteningly real – then and now – by its prophetic synthesis of capitalism, psychedelic culture, and the computer age." - Dr. J. Christian Greer Mondo Vision is an exploration of the visual culture of Mondo 2000, the iconic cyberculture magazine published 1984-1998, edited by R.U. Sirius and Queen Mu.

Our third mixtape in partnership with Philadelphia punk archivists World Gone Mad, this time specifically focused on the late 1980s/early 90s punk & hardcore scene in Medellín, Colombia.

Miles in France is the eighth installment in the celebrated Miles Davis Bootleg Series and this edition focuses on the birth of the Second Great Quintet in 1963 and 1964. The music heard here represents the sound of an end and a beginning coming through at once. The set contains 5 separate performances of the Miles Davis Quintet spread over 8 LPs or 6 CDs and the energy and depth of feeling in the transcendent playing hint at the special relationship Miles and the group had with the French natio…
A Tribute To Jack Johnson
A Tribute to Jack Johnson was originally conceived as the soundtrack for a documentary on the life of the first african american heavyweight boxing champion, but the album stands on its own as one of the most brilliant, compelling fusion recordings ever made. This is due in large part to the increasing influence of rock and funk on miles's aesthetic, to the superb musicians (including Davis himself - who turns in some stunningly vigorous solos), and in part to the production skills of Teo Macero…
'Round About Midnight
Widely acknowledged by jazz critics and aficionados as a landmark in 'hard bop' and one of the greatest jazz albums ever, Miles Davis' 1956 Columbia Records debut showcased his first legendary quintet featuring John Coltrane.
Music From A Room Full Of Synths
We are very happy to present the second installment in our collaboration with SMEM. Dorian Concept spent 10 days at the Swiss Museum for Electronic Music Instruments to record Music From A Room Full of Synths.

The entire album was recorded live, with no sequencing or programming involved. Thus, capturing the rawness of the moment, while celebratin…
Matter
«Music gives us the illusion that time is not time, but space. It is then that the music transforms from process to object, which I find a very interesting thought; a materialisation of the sound process. Sound is matter.» - Noémi Büchi
Locked Grooves
«These highly condensed compositions can be explored like land-scapes: distinct places defined by the forces at play.» - Julian Sartorius
