Deux nuit à Paris (2CD)
Emerging from the ethereal realms of sonic mastery, New Zealand’s most audacious experimental outfit, The Dead C, presents ‘Deux nuits à Paris’, two complete live sets that ensnares and exemplifies their ever-evolving sonic journey. From the pulsating metaphysical city of Dunedin, the band - Bruce Russell, Michael Morley, and Robbie Yeats - became a testament to the country’s under ground music scene, stirring the waters with their unorthodox sound landscapes since the late ‘80s.

Interdependencies I
*100 copies limited edition* The 4.1-channel composition 'Interdependencies I' (2018) by artist and composer Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm, derives its conceptual and sonic foundation from a meticulously crafted analog electronic 8-voice instrument, purposefully designed to probe the realms of electrical interdependence.

Ventilator, Trio
*188 copies limited edition* "Ventilator, trio” (2013) is a electroacoustic piece studying airflow and various phenomena such as asynchronicity, the Doppler effect as well as the proximity effect of microphonics. In this simplistic installation the airflow of three mechanical fans (one large, flanked by two small fans) is picked up by three directional microphones. As each fan rotates in different tempo, different ‘pitches’ emerge. Furthermore differences in amplitude as well as changes in the l…
ÆTER
*200 copies limited edition* The sound installation 'ÆTER' (2017) by artist and composer Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm, can be seen as a study of electromagnetism, translating the phenomena into an immersive sonic environment. Consisting of copper antennas and analogue electronic circuitry, the autonomous systems directly capture and transform the ever-present electromagnetic waves in the air around us into low frequency audio material. ÆTER thus “listens” to its surroundings - the nature, techno…

Datu
*2024 stock* “‘Datu’ is the name given to the ruling head of a clan or tribe during ancient, pre-colonial times of the Philippines. Colonization, cultural amnesia, and the reshaping of Philippine culture throughout generations have me and countless others almost completely disconnected from our roots. With no knowledge of what stories exist in the physical reality of my bloodline, the concept behind this album is my way of reconnecting with my ancestry in the spiritual realm of the creative flow…

Vocazione
CD Edition. A beatiful reissue of Enzo Carella's first album released in Italy in 1977, whose original edition usually sells for crazy prices on the second-hand market.

All songs on this release are written b…

Foam
*2024 much needed repress* Ulla returns with ‘Foam’, a surprise new album unlocking variants of ambient pop and looped jazz/dub styles coiled inside a glitched matrix that reminds us of Huerco S’ ‘Plonk’ as well as Ekkehard Ehlers fractal treatments and those incredible, smudged and disneyfied edits of Celine Dion released earlier this year by elusive outfit Romance. It’s an absorbing, quietly significant album for 3XL, on its most substantial release to date.
