Upcoming releases
Romancing The Music
Through the dense blend of Japanese New-Wave, set against a backdrop of moldy kimonos and punctured paper screens, Hip-See-Kid's mini-LP, Romancing The Music, emerges like a sonic bullet train, carving its way through the chaos of sound and emotion. Overflowing with purebred Punk-Funk, shards of Soul, and threads of shredded Jazz, this album is nothing short of a gold nugget in a sea of sadness.
Romancing The Music captures a unique fusion of genres, delivering an audacious auditory experience t…
Travelogue: Thailand

Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1982

Bosporus Bridges - A Wide Selection Of Turkish Jazz And Funk 196
Pioneering, magisterial compilation, which turned many of us here onto Mustafa Ozkent, Fikret Kizilok, Erkin Koray, Temiz and co, a decade ago. Still dazzling, fresh, essential.
Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane
The music on this record is a reflection of journeys and travel. The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and Its impressions, rituals, superstitions-the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and…
Four Corners
"I first came across Jeff's mysterious "Reggae Foes" 45 in the mid-2000s at the legendary Logos book/record store in Santa Cruz, California (RIP) - the kind of generic sleeve and label that gives you nothing more than a font and some scant shards of text to go by (luckily this text was "A Flying Saucer Came Down and Burnt My Baby's Neck"). What I heard upon bringing it home felt like some kind of alternate-timeline post punk calypso, unknowingly adjacent to the deconstructions occurring at the B…
Sphere to Sphere
Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw's experimental jazz project, in this iteration featuring him on synths and Nathan England-Jones on percussion. Formed in Birmingham, Zyggurat has over 8 years of cosmic electronic wrangling under it's belt. Releases and live shows have featured a charmingly eclectic range of collaborators ranging from tap dancers to sax/flute players, taking in the accordion along the way, with the lyrical drumming of England-Jones the constant and steady accompaniment.
Recorded over tw…
Interview with a Cat
On Interview with a Cat, Marcel Broodthaers turns a deadpan Q&A with a meowing interlocutor into a razor‑sharp miniature of conceptual art: a five‑minute 1970 audio piece where questions about painting, markets and museums collapse into one insistent “miaow.”
A Profound Loss of Meaning
On A Profound Loss of Meaning, Alice Kemp braids twelve years of recording and composition into a slow, unnerving drift where trance states, dream images and tiny domestic hauntings coagulate into an intimate, disquieting cartography of unreason.
El Llamado (Der Aufruf)
On El Llamado (Der Aufruf), Mario de Vega distils a performative piece for dispersed voices and whistles into a stark, fixed composition, turning a global collection of wind instruments and a single outdoor activation into a study of call, place, and the politics of listening.
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Stained Glass Starling
*300 copies limited edition* Belgian formation Razen joins forces with Dutch composer and theatre musician Dick Van der Harst for a new collaborative album Stained Glass Starling. Between modal mysticism and otherworldly folk trance, “Stained Glass Starling” draws the Razen universe into its deepest listening mode yet. After their recent LP Mirages (Kraak Records, 2025) with French turntablist Guilhem’All, the group continues to explore collaborations with artists and instruments from diverse mu…
In Dub
Emotional Rescue returns after a much-needed year hiatus, refreshed and ready, as it moves into its 15th year, to further explore the environs of oft-forgotten musical secrets and present them to new heads and minds. To celebrate, the label looks back to one of its favourite collaborations, the music of French ‘Ethno-Industrialists’ Vox Populi! in presenting a truly unique EP of “In Dub”, inspired remixes by 4 fellow Paris based artists of today in Full Circle, Froid Dub, Krikor and Shelter.
“In…
Radio-Activity
Radioactivity was Kraftwerk's fifth full-lenght release and their first fully electronic album. It is a concept album centered around radioactive decay and radio communications. As such it boasts a few big theme anthems surrounded by shorter variations of those themes with interconnecting shorter pieces of electronic music, sounds, and digitized voices."Kraftwerk built upon the international success of Autobahn by expanding their conceptual concepts to an album-length exploration of radio waves …
Let It Go
*300 copies limited edition* It has been twenty-five years since the seismic events of 2001—when twin towers collapsed under terrorist attack and Coventry's sonic insurgent Russell Haswell launched his inaugural salvo on the original Mego label with Live Salvage 1997–2000. The intervening era has delivered unrelenting turbulence: protracted wars, institutional corruption, a global pandemic, the resurgence of fascist currents, rampant media distortion, and omnipresent surveillance. For Haswell, a…
Zermisz
*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …
Discord in Disorder
*300 copies limited edition* 'Discord in Disorder' is a new album from Welsh soundsmith Sion Orgon, already known as both a producer and frequent collaborator with fellow sonic traveller Thighpaulsandra. Originally conceived for another label that unfortunately could not go ahead with its release, the album catches Sion doing something different to his usual melding of avant-rock/pop and abstract electronics...
These 14 new electroacoustic compositions delve into the intricate relationship betwe…
A Circle of Skin
A Circle of Skin is music to give solace during the dark autumn evenings. Creating images and patterns of comfort to deflect from the hallucinogenic disorientations of reality. As ever with these things, there are always demons and spirits lurking within the shadows of the album. Showing us with a sharpened realisation to be mindful, as things can always get worse. These are the murky undercurrents of a soundtrack which keeps us moving forward and alive. The sounds present are at once both organ…
Hotel Infinito
**Contains metal plate (metal gong), artwork, pvc transparent folder, poster and stickers** Hotel Infinito is the new project by Missing Ear, Italian experimental drummer and sound designer based in Milan whose practice investigates listening as an embodied, spatial mode of perception. The new release continues his exploration of active listening as a sensorial and social act, confronting sonic overstimulation not as background noise but as a defining condition of contemporary life.
Conceived in…
