Upcoming releases
Schönste Muziek
Early hallucinatory ritual percussion works from the much-missed rhythmajik master. This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z'EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20 minute track 'Titan Night', recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same e…
Love, Diskito
There is an abruptness to waking up to the sight of the other person’s back, a quiet violence hidden in the impression of intimacy, that’s leaving an aftertaste of emptiness. The feeling of losing oneself completely in a love that is given but never returned. Or the slower, less immediate one - the gradual disintegration of a world into which so much was once invested. Love, Diskito is like a worn out overdubbed cassette found in a drawer, with its underlying tracks flickering between contrastin…
Kadence
We’re thrilled to announce the 10th release from our label, Atangana Records! After over eight years since we began, we’ve come a long way. We’ve had numerous music releases whilst focusing on preserving the Caribbean cultural heritage, which doesn’t get talked about enough. With the creation of the association Sa Ka Touné, we’ve collected over 15,000 records and organized Tropical Clubbing events in Guadeloupe, where invited DJs dig through our association's collection before performing. ATGN00…
Midmeste
Australian composer-performers Judith Hamann and James Rushford have worked together in countless projects for two decades, perhaps most notably in Golden Fur, their trio with Sam Dunscombe. Black Truffle is pleased to announce Midmeste, their first work as a duo. Its title is Middle English for ‘the middlemost point’, alluding to how the piece builds on the points of overlap between the highly personalised musical languages Hamann and Rushford have developed in recent years.
Performed on cello …
The Ark
Time To Get On Board A New Black Universal Express. With each new recording Anthony Joseph presents an imaginative, personal vision of contemporary black culture, and The Ark is yet another compelling album by the award-winning Trinidadian poet and musician. This second part of a sequence of two albums launched with last year’s Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back, finds Joseph giving full vent to his desire to explore many thought-provoking themes. However, there is a specific thread running t…
Cracked Glaze
Matthew Wright’s album Cracked Glaze is performed by virtuoso vocalist Sofia Jernberg, Ensemble Klang (Michiel van Dijk, Erik-Jan de With, Anton van Houten, Pete Harden, Saskia Lankhoorn and Joey Marijs) and Wright’s improv/electronic group Spheric Totemic (Mandhira de Saram, Neil Charles, Alexander Hawkins, Stephen Davis and Matthew Wright). The 46-minute piece was performed live, and is built around a ‘spine’ of one long, descending scale which takes nineteen minutes to unfurl, and which then …
Jakuta's Dance
*50 copies limited edition* The boundary-defying percussion ensemble Onilu debuts on 577 Records with a work of striking scope, depth, and creative fire: Jakutá’s Dance. The group delivers a sonic vision that is at once elemental and exploratory—rooted in tradition yet unbound by it. Founding members Kevin Diehl and Joe Chambers are joined by Craig McIver and Daniel Villarreal, forming a dynamic quartet whose collective experience spans generations and geographies. Together, they draw from an ex…
Tasogare
A pinnacle of City Pop beloved around the world returns in a limited clear yellow vinyl edition. Featuring Makoto Matsushita’s refined arrangements and Mai Yamane’s commanding vocal performance, Tasogare stands as a legendary album that has also shaken the global music scene as a highly influential sampling source. Mai Yamane’s voice—powerful yet tinged with husky melancholy—perfectly captures the atmosphere of “tasogare-doki” (twilight), just as the title suggests. This timeless masterpiece env…
Skip Step Colgen
Beloved by fans under the nickname “Colgen”, jazz pianist Hiromasa Suzuki released this jazz-funk album in 1977 as part of the high-fidelity Toshiba Pro-Use Series. Now, this sought-after title is being pressed on transparent red vinyl for the first time ever. A favorite among Japanese jazz collectors, the album features a standout cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man,” and continues to gain renewed attention amid the global resurgence of fusion music. This is a must-have piece for fans of …
Stash
On Stash, the absolutely energy-drenched 2nd album from BCMC, the guitar and keys duo soars through waves of pleasant rhythmic turbulence on the way to show us just what they got: Needle down: increased activity dubs and baubles the sonic surface of BCMC’s Stash planet. Waves from Arabian, Indian, Flamenco and Soul groove in alliance under the expanse of an all-world flag, representing a borderless pursuit of cosmic music moments in the hand, of/by/for all the people of folk, rock and jazz, psyc…
Remembering Well
*300 copies limited edition* Over the past several years, Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Max Klebanoff, best known as the drummer for critically lauded death metal outfit Tomb Mold, has slowly expanded the purview of his Death Kneel project. From a spate of hermetic short-form tapes to the uniformly excellent “Dawn Simulation” on bellwether noise label Chondritic Sound, the project has blossomed into a distinct force within the landscape of contemporary experimental music. “Remembering Well…
Soundtracks for Toshio Matsumoto
250 copies. A third, extraordinary document. Purge.xxx continues its quiet, singular excavation of the work of Japanese composer Takashi Inagaki with Soundtracks for Toshio Matsumoto - five soundtracks gathered for the first time, newly transferred from the original tapes, mixed and mastered, and accompanied by an original essay by Jennifer Lucy Allan.
Toshio Matsumoto (1932-2017) was a foundational figure in Japanese experimental cinema - a film director, video artist, and theoretician best kno…
Astral Twins
Tip! Maybe it was inevitable that Vilhelm Bromander and Fredrik Rasten would find each other. A symbiotic musical alliance of suggestive combinatory magic that stretches back to the interstitial two day space that separates their dates of birth and manifests here as the movement between ‘perfect’ or ‘just’ intonation and the ragged, psychoactive energy of the slippages from and towards that togetherness that render otherwise simple patterns or generally understood repetitions as wildly other and…
Winter Spawning
Drones, hums and overheard sounds, bladders and strange vibrations, air currents, roars and ticking, friction and the thudding of a drum-beating fish, the wail of a dervish’s mixer, the manic circling of a dreamt-of tone by sonic lathe-workers…
Sunset Overdrive
*200 copies limited edition* Deaf Star is a shoegaze / noise-pop / electronic project founded in San Francisco and now based in Barcelona, Spain. Rooted in melancholy-driven personal songwriting, the project drags those intimate impulses through blown-out textures, crude production, bass-heavy electronics, and walls of distortion, arriving at a sound that feels both fragile and annihilating.
Drawing from the jet-engine narcotic haze of Astrobrite, damaged intimacy of Sebadoh, nocturnal drift of …
Forest Fire
*200 copies limited edition* Heavy drone trio Petrozavodsk return with their vinyl debut, “Forest Fire”. The band deepens its ongoing collaboration with UK-based electronic producers, this time it’s Container, and Moa Pillar (who has mixed all of Petrozavodsk’s material to date). The LP is divided into 3 distinct movements: a relentless thrashing electroacoustic rave piece by Container, a dubbed-out drone-rock track, and a side-long drumless slow-motion guitar wash that nods to the genre’s touch…
Smog
On Smog, Piero Umiliani weaves Italian cinematic cool, West Coast jazz and vocal chiaroscuro into a quietly devastating portrait of early‑60s Los Angeles, with Chet Baker and Helen Merrill tracing the city’s alienated glamour in smoke.
Motherland
On Motherland, The Visitors - brothers Earl and Carl Grubbs on alto and tenor saxophone - channel late Coltrane’s searching fire into a spiritual soul‑jazz ritual, all tenderness and incantation wrapped in a warm, analogue glow.
Big Beat From Badsville
Dangerous, bizarre, but most of all cool, The Cramps one again prove themselves as leaders in skull-fracturing rock ʼnʼ roll, delving even deeper into a wicked netherworld where few have dared to tread. They are the architects of a sound that has spawned an entire subversive subculture. Originally released in 1997, Big Beat From Badsville is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship. The four rare bonus tra…
In Transit
Dave Huismans (ex_libris, A Made Up Sound) presents In Transit, a self-titled LP of arresting downtempo vignettes, with origins dating back to over a decade ago. Renowned for some of this century’s most notorious rhythmic advances, the work of Dave Huismans (fka A Made Up Sound and 2562) continues to provide a blueprint for new generations of innovation-obsessives. After a long hiatus from releasing original material, he returned in 2025 with two beloved EP’s as ex_libris. Now he returns to Felt…
