All That I Am
A strange and beautiful artifact of late‑70s outsider music returns: Kit Ream’s lone 1978 album, All That I Am, has been reissued on vinyl and digital formats. Once a private-press secret treasured by psych‑folk collectors, this ultra‑rare record is now available again for listeners drawn to music that sits defiantly outside conventional boundaries.
Weirdos, or so they said. A long‑term psychological state. All That I Am grew from that condition — music shaped by solitude, introspection and an u…
Weather Eye
'Weather Eye' marks the first recorded collaboration between Italian guitarist Francesca Naibo and American cellist Theresa Wong. This collection of improvisations reveals a dialogue of care as the duo uncovers delicate and unexpected sonorities of the electric guitar, cello and two voices. Francesca Naibo is an Italian guitarist who moves fluently across all the different conjugations of the guitar, from the classic, the electric, to the fretless and the pedal steel. Involved in the research fo…
Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni
In an age that demands hyper acceleration, kinetic flashes and byte voracity, Blak Saagan sticks out like a sore thumb with a sprawling body of work that requires attention and unlocks profound symbols and meaning with every passage. After a 5 year gap, the Venetian composer returns with his most personal and openly political statement yet, ‘Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni’, a staggering 108 minute triple album soundtracking a dystopian city through flashes of futuristic fourth world visions, war…
On Bats
"Historically, ensembles combining taishōgoto and bagpipes (at least inside the milieu of “jazz”) have been on the tame side. The Winkler Twins, Dagnabbit, CUZ and other such units pandered to the bowtie set so exclusively that many people have all but dismissed the instruments as hopelessly moldy or even (in the words of critic Milo Fine) “tools of fascism and complacency.” That said, it is my pleasure to announce that the duo of William “Bill” Nace and Dave “David” Watson has made a mighty eff…
Ritual Fever
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 primor…
Panorama Vol. 2
On Panorama Vol. 2, Various Artists from the golden age of French cinema and library studios resurface in 11 lush, long‑buried cues, all moody strings, flanged funk drums and prowling basslines wrapped in a deluxe archival edition.
This Heat
"There's an irony inherent in the term 'postpunk.' Many of the groups that define the genre (think Pere Ubu or Cabaret Voltaire) existed for several years before punk. But these outfits had little hope of finding an audience until punk stirred up an appetite for the extreme, while also spawning a new breed of independent labels that could support challenging music. " This Heat are a prime example. Formed in early 1976 by drummer Charles Hayward, guitarist Charles Bullen and 'non-musician' Garet…
Sanctioned Departures
On Sanctioned Departures, William Selman lets two rainforests - Pacific Northwest and Costa Rica - compose themselves, braiding tidal lagoons, primates, saunas and street sweepers into humid, borderless environments where categories dissolve like shorelines under floodwater.
Sumatra Method
On Sumatra Method, Émile Zener (aka Gunnar Haslam) rebuilds 1950s–60s Indonesia as a haunted acoustic system, where Cold War proxy battles, propaganda and terror flicker through unstable drones, VHS detritus and spliced testimonies.
Chandler and Dickow Play Fisher
On Chandler and Dickow Play Fischer, David Chandler and Paul Dickow treat Marcus Fischer’s graphic scores as a lab problem rather than a script, using tracing paper, chalk, piezo styli, EEG data and a 1970s modular synth to probe what it means to “play” an image without simply projecting themselves onto it.
Mount Mansfield
On Mount Mansfield, Sam Boston and Shawn O’Sullivan turn a Vermont peak into both instrument and score, binding bent lapsteel and analog feedback into a slow‑growing, topographic drone where static contour becomes living, verdant resonance.
Dreaming With The Lights On
Tip! You’re approaching the region where gravity feels tampered with; “Dreaming With The Lights On” is to drift into a zone where bodies and objects appear to have slipped into a dream’s editing room and reassembled themselves according to priorities still unfamiliar. The music begins long before the sound does—inside a suspended brightness, a sky that hums with the possibility of transformation. The listener’s mind becomes a surface onto which impossible gestures imprint themselves: limbs blend…
The Kármán Line
The Kármán Line is the threshold - the precise altitude at which the Earth's atmosphere ends and open space begins. Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble understood the metaphor immediately. This is music made at that exact boundary: grounded in groove and breath, but pulling steadily toward something without ceiling.
The story begins in Tokyo. Neil Innes - bassist, producer, the animating force behind ATA Records and its consistently remarkable Leeds-centred roster - and woodwind voice Chip Wickham were n…
Something to Remember
"Something to Remember" marks a significant new chapter for pianist and composer Juan J. Ochoa, exploring the intimate territories between acoustic and electronic sound worlds. Through prepared piano, traditional piano, and subtle electronic processing, Ochoa crafts a deeply personal sonic meditation that bridges experimental technique with emotional immediacy. The album showcases his distinctive approach to the instrument—treating the piano not just as a melodic or harmonic device, but as a com…
Mattias De Craene & Black Koyo
With Black Koyo, Mattias De Craene enters a sound world at once intimate and vast. Born from journeys in Morocco and Brussels, the project traces the rhythms, chants, and spirits of the Gnawa tradition, revealing a quiet resonance that echoes De Craene’s own search for depth and presence. Guibri, qraqueb, call-and-response chants, saxophone, loops, and electronics come together in a trance-induced dialogue — ritualistic, elemental, and dreamlike — creating a space where listening becomes immersi…
Manhattan Baby
During an expedition in Egypt, young Susie receives a mysterious amulet that carries an ancient curse. Back in New York, the girl becomes the conduit for dark forces that begin to invade the city, dragging her family into a nightmare of disappearances and supernatural phenomena. Only by uncovering the origin of the amulet will they have a chance to break the spell. New Fully Restored HD Version.
Legendary composer Fabio Frizzi returns to haunt and mesmerize with the reissue of Manhattan Baby, th…
Silence is a Sharpened Blade / Ashes / The End Site / A Pearl in the Jaw / Flautas Ahogadas para Jacobo Grinberg
*75 copies limited edition*
DNZ122 Drew Wesely – Silence is a Sharpened Blade
Silence is a Sharpened Blade speaks in the language of materiality — a stripped bare mantra of nylon and wood conjures unspoken and veiled interiors, channeling the intimacy of a single guitar alone in a room. Silence is a mirror, a shadow, an absence. It speaks when words fail in the poetry of negative numbers. Where do we go when the lights burn out? What is beauty in hell? What can pierce a heart of stone? Silence i…
Web Of Midnight
*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…
Wheel of life
*300 copies limited edition* Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist Tomo, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation. Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. Tomo’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and re…
Jugatsu no Ame
*300 copies limited edition* A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito who spent their days rehearsing in a decrepit abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji Record imprint, most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further adding to the record’s mystique. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock act…
