Huge Tip! Originally issued in 1978 by Cetra, Follie Del Divino Spirito Santo emerges from a singular moment in Antonio Infantino's artistic practice - a moment when his early immersion in international Beat circles and avant-garde gestural music had crystallized into something entirely his own: a ritualistic and shamanic engagement with the musical traditions of Southern Italy. From 1964 onward, Infantino had moved through collaborative circles with Vittorio Gelmetti, Sylvano Bussotti, Pietro G…

Lub arrives like a controlled implosion. On this debut full‑length, SOF - a Berlin‑based Portuguese artist steeped in metal, noise and the more hostile edges of underground sound culture - treats the album format as a site of self‑preservation through destruction. Rather than slotting into any familiar subgenre lane, these tracks rip up the social contracts of song form: riffs don’t resolve where they “should,” structures don’t flatter attention spans, and there is no chorus waiting to offer cat…

Debut by a new string trio of Pelt and Elkhorn veterans with the wild card contributions of Kaily Schenker, creating a new variant of supremely pleasing acoustic-psychedelic-drone-Americana etc. “Lullaby>Summer Field” is an aptly named gentle rise, with Sheppard’s fingerpicked 12 string snaking through waves of elongated fiddle and cello. “Triode>Freedom” follows a darker minor-key ostinato with Gangloff’s keening melody over the top. “Freedom>Universal Blues” starts as a dirge and builds to a t…

The late pedal-steel guitarist Susan Alcorn leaves a final surprise hinting at new directions left underexplored on her collaboration with Nomad War Machine, the improvising metal duo of drummer Julius Masri and guitarist James Reichard. Their death-metal-influenced pummel adds new fire to her molten flow across a suite of improvised tracks that show off the vast range and simpatico of the trio. Julius Masri and James Reichard of Nomad War Machine: An unexpected opportunity arose out of a catchi…

From the visionary collaboration of Japanese New Age master Ken-ichiro Isoda and electronic music magician aus (Yasuhiko Fukuzono). Minimalism distilled, ambient environmental music that soothes the mind and kindles the spirit. Drawing on Isoda’s deep legacy (notably his legendary work on Oscilation Circuit – Série Réflexion 1 from mythical label Sound Process) and fused with aus’ spellbinding melodies, Interwoven is ethereal healing sound: lingering piano, soft cinematic synths, field recording…

If you’ve been following the wanderings of prolific psychedelic magicians Elkhorn, you might be surprised that Elkhorn guitarist Drew Garder’s solo LP Wave Field is the most out and out “rock” record on VHF in many years. Working here in a small group with excellent players Tom Malach (guitar), Andy Cush (bass), and Ryan Jewel (drums), Gardner cuts loose on a set of propulsive and swinging material that allows him to greatly expand his sound into unexpected areas. “Rhizoid” starts with a sneaky …

Luz gélida(d)o montediluída em flor(es). Delicate guitars, ethereal voices, tracks woven from sighs and layers upon layers, like secrets and small nocturnal rituals under the cold glow of the moon. Beautiful, evocative, and quietly transformative. The artist, cláudia simões, also known as alga, dedicates this work to winter: a season of introspection, stillness, and subtle magic. Let's enjoy the offering.

Last year, Aires, Sã Bernardo, Sal Grosso & Vile Karimi inhabited the Blackbox at O Espaço do Tempo from July 3–6, part of CCA's curatorial project Jejum. Over four days, these artists and collaborators converge, creating shifting constellations of sound through solo, duo, trio, and quartet encounters. Each evening invites the public into the intimacy of open rehearsals, where structure dissolves into possibility, a daily ritual of improvisation where boundaries blur, and music becomes a living …

Together, Samuel Kerridge and Maxim 'Panda' Barron conspire against the living with their electrifying new project, Death Disco. Drawing deeply from the rebellious roots of punk and the DIY ethos, the duo has crafted with their debut album ‘Death Notes’, a sense of urgency and authenticity. Samuel’s fierce vocal work and electronics gives the album an emotional depth that goes beyond its aggressive nature, while Maxim’s pulsating rhythms keeps cutting through the atmosphere with skin-stripping p…

After the success of Tutto Bene, enjoy Tutto Bene, Volume II! I've culled my favorite new accordion-driven hits into one fabulous sonic adventure to feed your hungry ears! Some of the songs were produced solo, one is a live recording from my performance with the Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto at the Triple Door, others are from the sessions that Ama Trio (AD/Madeleine Sosin/Abel Rocha) recorded at Gravel Voice sessions with Scott Colburn, as well as a rich collaboration with fellow-Seattle Composer…

Since 1983 Dan Burke and his conspirators have dug through almost every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, each unique approach bending and reconstituting the expectations and possibilities of each realm.   Plowing through layered field recordings, deeply rumbling tones, and eerie electroacoustic sounds with seamless transitions between cut-and-paste collages and manufactured drones, it’…

Robert Revell is a musician from Sydney, Australia currently living in Los Angeles. When he found the SPK record “Information Overload Unit” at the age of 10 he instantly connected with it. For the first time in his short life he had found music that sounded like what was inside his mind. He asked his Father (Graeme Revell) about it and learned that it was his own record. Everything made sense.   Robert has played in bands over the years as a guitarist, vocalist, bassist and drummer in styles ra…

On Banco, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso refine their baroque, hard‑charging Italian prog into a fiercely lyrical epic, where Francesco Di Giacomo’s operatic voice rides labyrinthine suites of piano, organ and guitar that feel both fiercely intellectual and wildly emotive.

On Sketches of Spain, Miles Davis floats through Gil Evans’s lush, flamenco‑tinged orchestrations like a solitary witness, turning Spanish folk and classical themes into slow‑burning tone‑poems where jazz improvisation melts into modal ritual.

Our latest Holy Grail reissue is this private press spiritual jazz gem out of California from Rickey Kelly and his vibes & marimba. Features Diane Reeves (vocals) & Adele Sebastian (flute)!

*350 copies limited edition* Rex is a solo cello record written and recorded while I’ve been living in the former home of Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created over 1,200 watercolors of North American birds. Composed for acoustic and electric cello, the record reflects the solitude and intensity that shaped both Brasher’s vision and my own process. Rex is not a portrait, but an echo—of a person, a place, and a way of seeing the world. Thank you to Matthew, Munawar, Cynthia & the RBA for…

NYZ (David Burraston) presents this collection of generative music pieces carefully extracted from a PreenFM2 gifted to him by Aphex Twin. PRN2_M15t is being released at the same time as an LP titledStria from Dr. John Chowning who invented the original FM synthesis algorithms which were sold to Yamaha and used in the creation of the DX series of keyboards. An interview with Chowning, conducted by David Burraston, will be published at the same time. David Burraston is an award winning artist/sci…

Vic Bang's "Oda" arrives quietly - it was waiting for the right moment. The eight tracks are shaped by listening, by circling around sound instead of chasing it... you can definitely hear patience in the pacing, a willingness to let ideas linger, to let all the small motifs breathe. The album moves with a softer and more deliberate rhythm than much of Vic's earlier work, as the sound world here feels concentrated and cohesive, built from a limited set of elements that gradually reveal themselves…

*2026 much needed repres!!* KMRU is the moniker of Joseph Kamaru, a sound artist and producer based in Nairobi. One of the leading exponents of the burgeoning experimental music scene in Nairobi and beyond, he was listed by Resident Advisor as one of "15 East African Artists You Need To Hear" in 2018 and is a regular performer at the fabled Nyege Nyege Festival having also presented live performances at CTM festival and Gamma Festival. Peel is KMRU's first release for Editions Mego. An exquisite…

Kin Gajo is a Brussels based electro-acoustic jazz trio drawing inspiration on the one hand from J Dilla and Flying Lotus, and on the other from the sound of British jazz artists such as The Comet Is Coming, Yusef Dayes, and Alfa Mist. With their atypical instrumentation-accordion, saxophone, and drums-the trio has developed a sound entirely of their own, with the accordion often resembling a heavy analog synthesizer. DJ and producer Lefto featured Kin Gajo on his compilation Lefto Presents Jazz…

Sun Electric - the legendary Berlin duo of Tom Thiel and Max Loderbauer - returns with Episodes, an enticing new album. While the pair has been active and creating over the years (remember their track 'Every Now And Then' on the 10 Years De:tuned compilation in 2019), Episodes marks their first album of original material in nearly 20 years. Now, with a renewed way of working together, they present fresh and captivating music on the Belgian De:tuned label, built from recordings made with the vint…

At the beginning of this journey, I had no clear idea of what I was getting into. What started as a simple poem, with embedded audio links referencing a selection of recordings I had made over the past few years and published on Metalabel and my website, eventually evolved into a video project designed as a proposal for an installation. Ultimately, it culminated in this music album. I am incredibly grateful for the amazing voice recordings that friends and family from all over the world sent me,…

*200 copies limited edition* "Emmanuelle Bonnet’s second album is an ode to free horizons, insects, and the passing of time. Prérie(s) is an ethereal moment filled with breath. It is a breeze of warm air which blows a shared space much like into a balloon and traces a way made of the constant search for sonic togetherness. Together, the four musicians expand the bounds of spontaneous composition, toying not only with sound, (non)harmony and textures but also, with each other. Working with words,…

Uncompromised drone music to elevate your soul and flesh.

In November 1926, Tina Modotti wrote: “I accept the tragic conflict between life continuously changing its form, and also immutably fixing it in time.” “No longer, not yet”, the second album from the Italian band “She’s Analog”, is an “instant film” that pretentiously tries to stop movement. The title refers to a zone of transit, in which everything unfolds and blooms. This space isn’t interpreted as exclusively musical; instead it represents that liminal space in which we move and create, both …

Tommaso and Jean have been a duo for several years, touring extensively throughout Italy, France, and Quebec. Their second release was recorded in a new and inspiring environment: a cabin nestled in the hills surrounding the Genova Prà neighborhood. Perched atop the hill, the cabin offers breathtaking views of the seaside and the bustling commercial port of Genoa. This space, typically used as a storage room, captured the sounds and noises generated during a two-day residency hosted by Davide Ce…

“Orassion,” halfway between improvisation and composition, is born from the timbral and contemplative union of percussion and positive organ. Recorded in September 2023, the album is the result of a shared prayer created from silence and sounds deeply amplified by the precious acoustics of the Church of St. Martin in Bondo, a small village in Switzerland. The white walls of the church, the precious embroidery of the paintings, the immaculate colors, and the golden atmosphere surrounding the soun…

"Silence. Presence. Breath. It was 1999 when I first met Michel Doneda, with Tetsu Saitoh, leading a free improvisation workshop in Genoa, my hometown. Looking back, it's remarkable how much that workshop influenced my life and led to many subsequent encounters with Michel, thanks to Cepi and Barre Phillips. When Michele Anelli asked me if I was interested in releasing this album, there was no doubt that the answer would have been positive. I find Michel's breath and gasps still uncompromised an…

How good does it feel to pull back from time to time? To really shed excess, more-ness, and follow a single path with intention? The exploration of one thing can illuminate corners of the world overlooked by minds pushed in increasingly omnidirectional cycles of want. Tone Keepers is a collection of four compositions by flutist, composer, and sound artist Rachel Beetz that follow a straight line into unexpected territory. Each piece revolves around a simple but inventive technique for generating…

* Limited edition cassette - 50 copies with banner * The legendary soundtrack to Kenneth Anger's occult masterpiece, now available in a limited cassette edition on Kieh Kieh. Composed and performed by Bobby Beausoleil with his prison band The Freedom Orchestra, Lucifer Rising was recorded between 1975 and 1979 at Tracy Prison (Deuel Vocational Institution) in California. Working under extraordinary circumstances, Beausoleil crafted a 45-minute psychedelic symphony using instruments built in the …

Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies. Packaged in a squashed can with 2 sets of nuts and bolts holding the package together. Inside the package is a paper strip insert. The essence of Aube's artistic philosophy has never been more distilled, more physically incarnate, than in Squash, the 1995 cassette that transmutes the humble sound of compressed metal into a meditation on materiality, reduction, and sonic design. Originally released in a limited run of 100 copies on Chocolate Monk UK via Aube'…

** Special Time-Limited Offer ** The Indianapolis-born trumpeter Freddie Hubbard introduced his prodigious talent on Blue Note Records with a run of remarkable albums recorded thru the early 1960s. At first rooted firmly in hard bop, Hubbard began to broaden his approach on his masterwork Ready for Freddie, recorded in August 1961. “The way in which I’m most interested in going is Coltrane-like,” Hubbard told liner note writer Nat Hentoff. Hubbard had recorded with Coltrane earlier in the year o…

** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On April 29 and May 7, 1968, iconoclastic saxophonist Ornette Coleman brought a dynamic quartet with tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones into the studio to record what would yield his final two albums for Blue Note: New York Is Now! and Love Call. The alchemy of this group, which combined Coleman’s first-time two-saxophone pairing with a rhythm team deeply associated with John Coltrane, produced thrilling results.UHQ-CD…

DJ Marcelle's career has flourished on her own terms, with many critically acclaimed releases: in the past six years alone this Dutch woman has released five albums and numerous ep's. On stage and in the studio she transcends a feeling of freedom whilst always moving forward. Marcelle turns her DJ sets into full-on sonic adventures; she's the g.o.a.t of dancefloor eclecticism.

On Leviathan Whispers, Tim Hill shapes saxophones, tape loops and treated field sound into slow-burning rites of longing and delirium, a spectral song-cycle where folk memory, Blakean vision and drone minimalism coil around each other in restless, darkly luminous orbit.

With Hungry Vortex, Polypores pushes his kosmische synth language into a delirious hybrid of polyrhythmic trance, cosmic jazz-prog and gently lysergic minimalism, four side‑long excursions that feel at once meticulously engineered and wildly feral. A hypnotic, deeply emotional capstone to a ridiculously fertile phase.

On The Shout, Rupert Hine turns a psychological horror into a study of sound itself, fusing electroacoustic experiment, synth eeriness and musique concrète into a score that feels as invasive as the film’s infamous, landscape-shattering scream.

After following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End. Following relatively hot on the heels of 2023's Tilt (his first in 11 years, not counting his work with Jackson Bailey under the Rezzett guise) Underloop brings Blair's innate knack for building loops and sound structures further to the surface, while allowing his ear for emotional expression to be dialled up a notch. Tho…

There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present.  When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score.  The ritual of process is that which carries.  The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered pri…

For the follow up to their self-titled debut for Bluesanct, Pacific Walker went in search of the occulted answers to cosmic inquiry, charting a star-crossed course across the elder seas of private-press new age cassettes and back-catalogue self-help tapes. Still waters run deep and from those depths, the guiding light they find may lead them to an eternity far beyond their third-eye ideologies. Like Ted Lucas on a brown tab from Gibby Haynes, our sonic travelers find themselves lost in the slush…
