*2026 stock* Asphere originates from the ongoing dialogue and friendship among the artists Maika Garnica, Aiko Devriendt and Thijs Paijmans, as shared experiences of time and space. The album takes Garnica’s sound objects and their visual aesthetics and sounds, as a ground for musical and audiovisual exchange. Gradually guiding us back into the now, the artists explore the subtle movements in between various spaces: those that arise from the interplay of different languages, the physical spaces …

An unceremonious release of some old songs strewn across the past few years, played and recorded into a lounge room in Annandale, Gadigal land. Marking a time of playing around lots with jasper (when time was easier to wrangle) and hopefully making room for new songs to come visit! we are singing forever. Sounds from budapest train, typewriter, guitars, an old fan favourite, kata, jasper, laughter.

Soul, jazz-rock, candombe and funk blend in the cocktail of La Banda's first and sole album. Often regarded as Argentina's first supergroup, the ensemble built a reputation on their explosive live performances during a time of political repression. Short-lived but unforgettable, the six-piece brought together top-tier jazz musicians—five Argentinians alongside Uruguayan icon Rubén Rada—to deliver a deep, hard-hitting sound that resonates far beyond its era. Rada arrived in Buenos Aires bruised —…

Wrens creates music that is modern and without immediate comparison. This is revolutionary art, both musically and lyrically. Had Miles Davis lived to be 100, continuing on his path of repeatedly changing the direction of jazz, it would be easy to imagine that by 2026 it could have sounded like Wrens, not only because of the heavily affected and brilliant trumpet playing, but because it feels so contradictory to the institutions that breed much of this music today. When asked about the meaning b…

"A fine musical trio is always more than the sum of its individual parts, and over two decades the grouping of pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth and drummer Paul Wiltgen has developed a distinctive character that hasn’t simply yielded a number of fine recordings, but has helped to set Luxembourgish jazz on the international map. Now, working with an orchestra conducted by Vince Mendoza --who also penned some of the arrangements --and with guest saxophonist Joshua Redman, they have deliver…

The music of La lucha es un poema colectivo was conceived and composed during a long artistic residency at IRCAM in Paris in November 2023 and will be released by Superpang. ‘In November 2023, we were in residence in Paris when we found ourselves in the midst of protests and strikes by workers at the Centre Georges Pompidou. They were demanding the respect of their rights. Entering that place as outsiders, making art while hundreds of people outside risked losing their jobs, was disorienting. Th…

"Watching a movie by Tati is a surprising experience; in his films, sound and music speak more than do words, overtaking the conventional discourse – and boredom – of adulthood. Hulot remains silent, or mumbles. Tati knows all about the noises of the modern world: beeps, rings, crackles, pneumatic drill, cars, mechanical, electrical and rubbery sounds, the high heels of secretaries and typewriters, factory noises, creaking doors, sighing chairs, machines and technical machines, franglais, vacuum…

In June of 2013, a new label for improvised music was born. After years of working with other labels in the “business,” saxophonist and label founder Dave Rempis saw the writing on the wall that many of those outlets for underground music would soon go belly up. With shifting modes of consumption and distribution due to the wave of digital options drowning out traditional music media, it became clear that artists working outside of the mainstream would have to take over their own production and …

Shutsumin, the debut recording from the generation spanning duo of Japanese legend Otomo Yoshihide, toggling between guitar and turntables, and rising saxophonist Kei Matsumaru, a native of Papua New Guinea, who moved to Tokyo after studying jazz at the Berkelee College of Music in Boston, where he's become a close collaborator of Eiko Ishibashi in addition to leading his own genre-defying solo projects. Both musicians casually ignore lines between jazz, experimental music, and noise, fashioning…

*2026 stock* In 2023, k.d.b lived in a crumbling farmhouse on the edge of the River Maas. Each morning, he’d wake at 6:00 and walk along the river’s bank with his dogfriend Miemel, pausing at sunrise for a cup of coffee. It’s 6:34, and a thick rug of mist rolls out across the river. It’s so dense that k.d.b can’t see the water beneath it. Then comes the sun: a single ray cutting through the mist like a tube of light, landing on Miemel’s face. In her mouth is a CD she’s picked up, and on the CD i…

*2026 stock* Holiday resort entertainer Tooper Keps takes a break from entertaining the professional leisure class, and reflects their own world back at them with an EP of otherworldly synths and eerie carnivalesque chansons. Tooper Keps has fired up his trusty Yamaha PSR-11 and PSS-360 to write his first (and probably last) EP, condensing his favourite chord changes from years of distracting the retired and affluent. The result is a collection of floating song structures that revolve like fairg…

After his trilogy, Iron Sight returns with Catatonic Daydreamer. Once again laying his heart bare, across a broadened and evolved emotional and sonic landscape - moving with genuine honesty between stark vulnerability and overwhelming force. Clear state shifts run throughout the record. Going from stripped-down acoustic moments, reminiscent of a dark Johnny Cash-like intimacy - fragile and exposed, allowing silence and space to carry as much weight as sound and context itself - to moments where …

Baisée marks the first release Charlène Dannancier signs in her given name. The French composer, performer and artist gives an incisive exploration of the emotional vertigo of ambiguous relationships: those destabilizing, uncomfortable zones where desire and unease dissolve into one another. Released on Strange Therapy, the album traces the psychological drift that takes hold when intimacy accelerates but never arrives: expectations splinter into dynamic shifts, dissonance, and subtle misalignme…

In the second chapter of De Mutanten Processie, W. Ravenveer once again warps, fractures, and mangles free jazz recordings into a modular synth stream of cosmic mutoid racket — this time sourced from the work of the legendary Andy Ortmann. The result is a dense clarinet noise fest dripping with alien texture. Limited edition cassette co-released by Kerm and Ravennest Recordings. Mastered by Jürgen Deblonde

Before Afrobeat, there was Highlife-Jazz and Afro-Soul. Highlife music, originally from Ghana and widely popular across West Africa, dominated the music scene in Lagos when Fela Kuti returned to the newly independent Nigeria in 1963. Fela had been studying trumpet at Trinity College of Music in London where he met drummer Tony Allen, who also joined him in new group Koola Lobitos as they sought to mix things up by introducing the sounds they had heard in the capital's jazz clubs. The music of Fe…

Savana Selvaggia collects two previously unreleased tracks by Giuliano Sorgini, highlighting one of the most visionary and experimental aspects of his library music: from an imagined African landscape through atmospheric melodies and analogue electronics ("I misteri del mondo"), to a mystical sound world where African and Middle Eastern influences merge with futuristic electronic textures and Krautrock-inspired rhythms (“Arabian Synthesizer”).  Crafted in his own Cat & Fox Studio in Rome, these …

*150 copies limited edition* "Later, listening back to the recording, he was surprised to find how the sound of the gulls and wind, the slap of waves, evoked not the grim reality of the crossing but the romantic ideal of a sun soaked cruise." - Geoff Dyer Compared to my last couple of albums (Mote Music and Borrowed Out of Time) White Sands is somewhat of a departure in style. This album has a heavier emphasis on conventional instrumentation and harmonic structure which is something that I have …

Often credited as the father of multi-media theatre, Alwin Nikolais (1910-1993) took complete creative control over his productions - including cutting-edge approaches to lighting and costume that transformed human bodies into shifting sculptural shapes, while also composing wildly innovative electronic music as accompaniment. After initially experimenting with musique concrète and tape manipulation (as demonstrated on the 1959 LP Choreosonic Music of the New Dance Theatre of Alwin Nikolais) Nik…
