Resolutionary (Songs 1979-1982) LP
2019 Small repress. LP version. There's a myth about music critics according to which they are frustrated wannabe performers. Evidence to the contrary: Vivien Goldman. The London-born, New York-based Goldman is one of the foremost chroniclers of the perfect storm of reggae, punk, hip hop, and Afrobeat, but between 1979 and 1982, she was also a working musician, creating songs that, years later, would be sampled by The Roots and Madlib. These rare girl grooves are now collected for the first time…

Borderline Dogfood
The Bren't Lewiis Ensemble's first full-length 2023 is a table scrap pâté of junk percussion, recycled sounds, roasted tapes and electronics, surrealist soliloquies, and decontextualized lyrics squished through the meat grinder and smeared into a professionally replicated compact disc (not a CDR).
After-hours sessions at Musiclandria in Sacramento in late 2021 — at the time freshly upgraded to a mammoth instrument lending library with a stream-ready live venue, a recording studio, and a communit…
Apophénies
Tanzprocesz CEO Jo Tanz (Femme, Opéra Mort, Placenta Popeye, Reines D'Angleterre) unloads an electropsychedelic opus dripping with emotional intensity.

La Force Aquarienne
In his debut release with Constellation Tatsu, Andy Aquarius takes us on a journey from the forest to the sea. Aquarius was in the process of writing another album, the follow up to ‘Chapel’ (Hush Hush, 2021), when multiple voices emerged, each of them holding a distinct energetic signature. Those incantations became ‘La Force Aquarienne,’ a collection of intuitive prayers.
The first track, ‘U Lisi’ (Ukrainian for ‘In The Forest’), represents the connective and grounding tissue of our shared dim…

Energiavampyyri
Tip! *120 copies limited edition on chrome tapes* Haudat is one of the most promising new noise acts in Finland at the moment.

Sheer
*120 copies limited edition on chrome tapes* Corral Shut is back on Satatuhatta with new tape and three tracks of uncompromised harshness.

Dreag
*Chrome tape ltd to 120 tapes* Zalhietzli and Dressing team up for this exciting split release on Satatuhatta. Both projects work in the realm of tape noise and while Dressing's approach is more hands on tape manipulations on the recorded sounds and surroundings, it sounds that Zalhietzli operates on circuit level, fusing the sound source and breaking the sonics with constant electronic shocks. They both have mastered their approach for textural broken sound and compliment each other perfectly o…

Brian Eno Performed by Dedalus Ensemble
With Discreet Music (1975), Music for Airports (1978), and Thursday Afternoon (1985), Brian Eno invented a new music genre, ambient music, which he defined as "able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." These versions performed and arranged by Dedalus Ensemble, according to the musicians and the critics who listened to it, goes beyond what you expect from it. A mental base that takes you far away. One…
Epic Ellipses
Puce Moment is part of the French contemporary music scene. Their music is climatic, often inhabited by a strong emotional power. A procession of harmonic structures organized in a ritual way, sometimes close to trance. It can be written or improvised, vocal or instrumental. The electronic and electroacoustic arrangements summon new spaces and abstract landscapes, which can go from the purest sound to the most raw distortions. Vast, slower, deeper - distant echoes of half-faded things - and when…
Void Ov Voices : Baalbek
"I started Void Ov Voices in 2006 to create ritualistic music for the moment, to play only live performances while capturing and interfering with the energy of the space and the time of the location. The first time I travelled to Lebanon was in 2008 for one particular reason: to visit the Trilitons and the giant Monoliths of Baalbek. I was deeply impressed by the level of ancient civilisations engineering technology and the intense magical atmosphere of the whole area. I have been fascinated by a…
