*70 copies limited edition* Source of Sin arises when the Devil blows under her petticoat. The dirty old man stalks her, coming at her compulsively from afar, the scraping of iron stirring the receptors of the rusty constructions, whose increasing shrieks come from the other side of the cold hangar. This is where they will be wed, in the soot and grime of the filthy buildings, dampness of the dungeons, and the sticky religious ecstasy that unravels the thin wire of lust and imminent spiritual de…

*50 copies limited edition* Iberian Harsh Noise annihilation!

London-based experimentalists Kinkajous have announced their new studio album, Nothing Will Disappear, set for release on October 18th via Nottingham's Running Circle label. Maximalism at its most subtle and tender – ambient music at its most rejuvenated. There are echoes of Sam Shepherd's collaborative work with Pharoah Sanders as Floating Points, and the subtle timbre shifts of Jon Hopkins and James Holden more so than their capital-"J" jazz contemporaries. A marked step-up from their previous…
*200 copies limited edition* Red Brut’s third album, "On Bare Ground", is a sonic tapestry woven from the final threads of her Rotterdam existence. Entirely composed of soundscapes captured during her last two years in the city, the album evolves into a poignant farewell as its creation mirrors the passage of time, culminating in a profound departure from her life there. “On Bare Ground” is a sculptural work blending its lo-fi with haunting melodies, field recordings, and ethereal soundscapes. U…

Coming down the mountain to the sea… A meeting of enigmatic minds, STROM|MORTS and venoztks, at The Summerhouse on the coast of southern England gave rise to an alliance – "beards vs bald"; venoztks using unprocessed short wave channelled through modular synth, guitar pedals and other unknown physical and non-physical devices which were lost in the maelstrom. The result is just downright peculiar. But with charm; "Hotel Echo" echoes and channels earlier insane attempts to dance to farmersmanual.…

We are pleased to reissue the masterpiece cassette of the early Acid Mothers Temple, which is an exquisite mix of psychedelic and noise that creates an unidentifiable sound. The reason for the mysteriousness of the sound is the editing that forms the composition and development of the sound in a way that would normally be unthinkable, and will reaffirm the uniqueness of Acid Mothers Temple.

Hard cover Edition, large format. Long out of print. One of the pioneers of performance and multimedia work, constantly cited as key to the burgeoning postwar genres now considered standard fare in art galleries and museums, Robert Whitman's work of the 1960s and 1970s has long been inaccessible because of its ephemeral nature. This publication and the exhibition it accompanies are the first to reexamine his seminal early work, begun under the influence of Allan Kaprow in the late 1950s. Early p…

Brûlez les meubles is a dual-headed jazz project led primarily by Éric Normand (Rimouski) and Louis Beaudoin de la Sablonnière (Montreal). Born from their mutual passion for each other’s eccentric musical worlds, this duo is known for collaborating with experimental improvisers and renowned artists. Their music is abstract and meditative, both modern and simple, drawing inspiration from jazz guitar legends such as Jim Hall, Bill Frisell, René Thomas, and Brandon Ross.

Almufaraka brings together the breath and voices of Gaëlle Debra, Patrick Guionnet, and Maryline Pruvost, alongside the sound textures of skins, wood, and metal played by Peter Orins. This quartet explores all technical means to create a music that is both archaic and avant-garde, drawing inspiration from a mythical primitive tradition. By recreating a form of serenity, the music immerses us in an original sonic imagination. The recording offers a journey through the full sound spectrum, from th…
