X&A
Two sides, each lasting 8 minutes and 50 seconds. A clash that resonates in friction, united by the materiality of vinyl - if only for a time. Or at best, a rapprochement, like in cinema. On side A, a MIDI composition by Xavier Robel for synthesized piano, based on La Monte Young's tuning system for The Well-Tuned Piano. Mouse clicks, boxing gloves, vibrancy, and mischief. On side B, a positively insistent On-U Sound-flavored rhythmic investigation, produced by Androo in response to Xavier Robel…
Scénario pour un album
This is the story of a Telegram audio message suddenly poured and cast into the materiality of a vinyl record. Is it a correspondence archive? Above all, it's a field recording, a moment bit torn from everydayness, where Androo found some fresh air in a church in Sardinia and started playing the organ. Next we're in Naples, and Androo is playing a tiny instrument as we can hear sporadically the street hum in the background. This was all recorded on an already too old iPhone during the summer of…
Tribute To Jackie Mittoo
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Hybrid is a word used indiscriminately in our daily lives. This record isn't a hybrid; it's beyond hybrid, post-hybrid, so to speak. Does this phrase sound complicated to you, and are you never overly convinced by music theory and its caricatural aspect? Then forget what you’ve just read and listen to both sides of this record. You'll soon realise that these tracks are deliciously deft, drawing their essence from dub while leaving room for some skillful …
Le Commerce
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Poly Dance Theatre speeds up the tempo (perhaps in search of lost time) and so here already the first announcement for the next release: POL008, called "Le Commerce" (The Business). It's a very special record. Beyond the deep bass line, the efficient ryhtmics and the ghostly apparitions of dubbed-out commercial romantic melodies, this 10" is above all an object-question, a small political gesture of sabotage. Be careful. Be careful. Rare! Very very very r…
Jazz Band Theory
Here we are with a new LP by Terrine. Jazz Band Theory is Terrine’s fourth album for Bruit Direct Disques. Neither one nor the other are what they were when the first came out. Jazz Band Theory is a river and a drop in a river. You are another river, or another drop in the same river. Or you are Jazz Band Theory, for a few minutes. 31 minutes and 10 seconds pass. Or you are Bruit Direct Disques, the river is full of water. 31 minutes and 10 seconds of inattention in a river of drops. Plic, Plic …
The Wolf at the Door
That Wolf At The Door is a collaborative 2 CD between Henry Kaiser (Califonia, USA; guitar) and P.ST (Prague, Czechia; electronics). The first CD That Wolf At The Door is a solo baritone guitar disc that pays a heartfelt tribute to the late science fiction author Gene Wolfe (May 7, 1931 - April 14, 2019). The album is a testament to the decades-long friendship and mutual appreciation between Wolfe and Kaiser, two creative minds who shared a passion for pushing the boundaries of their respective …
Music For Desert Reboot
Knockout! Thrillingly arid, exploratory rhythm trips on a way more austere, isolationist tip than anything we’ve heard from Trjj/Trii/Trj/Tri previously. Sounds like Liima re-scoring Dead Man or some shit! The music was made for a student film that was in development for four years before being aborted when the directors realised they lacked either the chops or the budget or both to realise their vision. There were three substantially different scripts, but the basic setting stayed the same: “a …
Musiikki 2
*2025 stock* Mahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient-rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music.
Lengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic grooves which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements. In the heart of it all there's kantele, an ancient Finnish string instrument played by Hannu Saha, who has studied Finnish folk music in theory and practice for nearly five decades.
The oth…

Kukin Kaappiaan Selässään Kantaa
*2025 stock* At the turn of the millennium, Pori Finland based group of adventurers Moon Fog Prophet, born in 1994, arrived at a crossroads. The band had just wrapped up their fourth album Taunting Tin Bells Through The Mammal Void that was in its narrative character, exaggerative scope and dynamic richness a work of art taken to extreme proportions. What next? The answer was found from the more minimalistic end of the spectrum. The singer-keyboardist Mika Rättö began to take more responsibility…
Jatkuvasti Maailmaa Pelastamaan Kyllästynyt Supersankari
*2025 stock* After their triumphant debut album, Kuusumun Profeetta went deeper and further into the process of creating new music and lyrics. As a result, their second album, Jatkuvasti maailmaa pelastamaan kyllästynyt supersankari ("The Superhero Tired of Constantly Saving the World"), stands as an undisputed landmark of the Finnish music scene in the early 21st century.
With this record, Kuusumun Profeetta cemented their reputation as one of the most original and fearless Finnish bands. The…
Muurahaiset
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* At the height of the forest folk boom in 2002, the yearning for more manna for the ears led a group of aficionados to invent a programmable forest folk generator software that would then relentlessly spit out the magic sound. Later, the tapes produced by the software went missing for two decades until rediscovered by J. Lehtisalo, who was one of the concept creators and programmers along with S. Pekkola and V. Puhakka.
Among the missing tapes was Circle’s…
Supermassive
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Circle, the uncompromising avant-rock collective from Finland, announce the release of Supermassive, a recording that captures the band’s legendary performance at the Tavastia Club in Helsinki during the Supermassive Festival on October 23, 2014.
On that night, the band unveiled their audacious "Double-edged Circle" lineup, wielding an unprecedented seven guitars in unison. Their sonic charge carved through Tavastia’s walls in a precise, surgical incisi…
Electric Catapult
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Bursting with high energy and unpredictability, "Electric Catapult" showcases Lehtisalo's evolution as a solo artist, moving away from his previous electronic maximalism into a realm of impressionistic soundscapes. The album's frenetic, all-over-the-place pace and eclectic composition reflect Lehtisalo's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Drawing inspiration and style from early 00's New York and New Zealand improv groups li…
Viptronic
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Salo Ra II is a new duo of Topias Tiheäsalo and Jussi Lehtisalo. Taking inspiration from the old vacuum tube televisions and the decayed industrial landscape of the city of Salo, the duo’s debut LP Viptronic creates a beautiful and an intuititive balance of seemingly incongruous sounds: overdriven zither-noise and unearthly electronic basso continuo blend touchingly with the resonances of electric guitar’s open tunings. Dedicated to whoever who has ever b…
Halki Pilvien
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Halki pilvien - transl. Through the clouds - brings exactly what one expects from the clouds. It is a collection of soft and gentle movements, as playful as a ‘Jan Anderzén type of music’ is always. A collection of patterns that solidify for just a brief moment in time, before sublimating in the back of the mind. This album is in constant motion. Push play. A warped piano and cartoonish SFX’s might foretell a hyperreal approach to music. Yet while the ch…
Cafetic Atom
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Two living legends of Finnish DIY music scene join forces on this magically wonderful piece of experimental otherness. Jukka Nousiainen (Räjäyttäjät, Vaisu Luksus, Rambling Boys, Jukka ja Jytämimmit etc.) and Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle, Susi-Unto, Steel Mammoth, Salo Ra II etc.) improvise with intense intent and inventiveness. Sounds travel through free noise space of cosmic hiss and dark matter crackle but also encounter multicolored starlight nebulas of bl…
1972
*300 copies limited edition* "A meeting of minds across continents, 1972 unites two underground visionaries: Anla Courtis, the Argentine experimentalist known for his boundary-pushing work with Reynols, and Jussi Lehtisalo, the Finnish avant-rock architect behind Circle, Pharaoh Overlord, and Ektro Records. Their collaboration unfolds as an abstract, free-flowing dialogue — an exercise in sonic alchemy where the hypnotic collides with the microtonal. Born in Buenos Aires, Courtis has spent decad…
Live At Knitting Factory
*2025 stock* The live recording from New York’s Knitting Factory captures noise guru Merzbow in transcendent form, serving the audience with subtle hypnotic pulses to go with rich textures of raw to low frequencies. The immersive baths of sonic clusters, sine wave swoops, rumbling low mids and glissandos jumping off of rooftops diving down to dervish dance of bit fragments offer the listener a rare glimpse of what it means to find soothing charm and calm in the chaos.
Sharing the bill and the st…
Descension "Out of Our Constrictions"
2025 Repress. Rich in musical associations yet utterly singular in its voice, joyous with an inner tranquility, the music of Natural Information Society is unlike any other being made today. Their sixth album in eleven years for eremite records, descension (Out of Our Constrictions) is the first to be recorded live, featuring a set from London’s Cafe OTO with veteran English free-improv great Evan Parker, & the first to feature just one extended composition. The 75-minute performance, inspired b…
