Upcoming releases
Black Ark (Book)
Black Ark is a 600‑page visual and textual immersion into Lee “Scratch” Perry’s legendary Kingston studio, assembled by Ishion Hutchinson, Kodwo Eshun, Lee Scratch Perry and Veerle Poupeye: a dense, collaged “house‑book” where dub’s sonic revolution is mirrored in murals, talismanic objects and layered histories.
Xerrox
Tip! Noton releases the Limited Edition CD Box Set of Alva Noto’s Xerrox series. Pioneering in his approach to digital sound and its materiality, Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) began his ongoing exploration of sampling, degradation and recontextualisation with the Xerrox series in 2007. Over the years, the project has evolved into one of the most distinctive bodies of work in contemporary electronic music, situated between minimalism, experimental sound art and digital abstraction.
Across five albu…
Jardim Elétrico
Jardim Elétrico (1971) is a vibrant and inventive entry in the Brazilian band Os Mutantes’ discography, marking the transition beyond the core Tropicália movement into a heavier, more experimental blend of psychedelic rock, Brazilian popular music, and early progressive influences. The album balances playful irreverence with darker, more electric textures, featuring distorted guitars, studio experimentation, layered vocal harmonies, and the charismatic interplay between Rita Lee, Arnaldo Baptist…
Septober Energy
Centipede’s Septober Energy (1971), released on RCA and produced by jazz pianist Keith Tippett, is a sprawling double-album manifesto of British avant-garde jazz-rock that brings together an enormous ensemble of more than fifty musicians, including members of King Crimson, Soft Machine, and other key figures of the Canterbury and progressive scenes. Conceived as a large-scale orchestral jazz composition, the record blends free improvisation, electric jazz fusion, progressive rock dynamics, and c…
Apryl Fool
The Apryl Fool’s self-titled album Apryl Fool (1969) is a singular psychedelic rock record born from the collaboration between Japanese musicians Hiro Yanagida and Takashi Matsumoto and American producer Gary Walker. The album fuses West Coast psychedelia with baroque pop, orchestral arrangements, and subtle Eastern melodic sensibilities, creating a richly textured and cosmopolitan sound that stood apart from both mainstream American psych and contemporary Japanese rock. Though commercially over…
Last
On Last, Leda distils Sofie Herner’s loop‑based guitar minimalism into six slow‑burning pieces: proto‑industrial basement buzz, worn tape atmosphere and stubbornly simple figures that erode into something hypnotic, eerie and oddly tender over 33 minutes.
Spacemen 3 Vinyl - (Extended Edition) (Book)
In Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition, Danny Passarella assembles the definitive visual chronicle of Sonic Boom and J Spaceman’s recorded universe: a lavish, full‑colour archive of global pressings, ephemera and new interviews that turns their vinyl trail into a tactile, time‑spanning narrative.

Pianoply
This is my fourth solo piano release on this wonderful label. The studio’s Yamaha piano is an older darling, bless her, with an easy mechanism and unusual bright tone - lovely to play! It was also my first time recording at Sansom Studios in the West Midlands, some distance from Lancashire where we live. The album was recorded in a few hours and is in three sections. Two tea breaks divided the music in effect, no edits, completely improvised. I was curious about recording in a studio again, most…
XIBIPIIO. In And Out Of Experience
A singular work of deep sonic exploration returns, now unveiled in a definitive vinyl edition.
EmphasYs
*100 copies limited edition* For more than three decades, Germany’s drone ambient pioneers Troum have explored the liminal zones between sound and sensation, shaping immersive sonic environments that dissolve boundaries between ritual, memory, and matter. Emerging from the industrial-ambient underground of the 1990s, Troum have remained devoted to a singular artistic intent: to create transformative listening experiences, dense with atmosphere and charged with inner movement, where sound becomes…
Psyché II
Psyché II is the sophomore album from the Neapolitan band formed by Marcello Giannini, Paolo Petrella, Andrea De Fazio, and Roberto Porzio. While their debut was rooted in the myths of the Mediterranean, Psyché II pushes beyond those borders. Here, the sea is a living, vibrant route connecting shores and cultures—from North Africa to Brazil, from the Middle East to Colombia.
The Mediterranean becomes a crossroads of different peoples, traditions, and sounds: cosmic jazz, desert blues, dub, Anat…
Pequeño clima doméstico
*100 copies limited edition* The Buenos Aires–based producer’s second album on Umor Rex can be read on at least two levels. The most direct traces its origin to the influence of environmental music, as well as to some pioneers of electronic music. The album was recorded in a single session, making extensive use of loops that were later edited and condensed into the six pieces that make up Pequeño clima doméstico. This working method responds to a playful approach that runs through Entidad Animad…

The Moth
"A friend of mine told me he had visited the place that Cancer House live and record. He said they jammed together all afternoon. In the moment, in the zone so to speak, he became more and more convinced that what they were making together was the best music he had ever been involved with. As the afternoon drifted by, second by revelatory second, he began making grandiose plans to release the recording. By the time it was dark outside the windows he imagined it as a future lost classic, a key li…
Kwasy I Zasady
What do jazz improvisation, Polish Radio, dingy rap from Memphis, cassette tapes, trap, drill elements and hip-hop loops have in common? These are the ingredients that the Błoto quartet used in their lab to cook an explosive mixture for their third LP entitled “Kwasy i zasady” (eng,“Acids and bases”). Nobody thought that a band who appeared suddenly and unexpectedly on the jazz scene would develop so rapidly and in such an unforeseen direction. A year ago, critics and music journalists treated …
Music For Parents
Music For Parents is a low-frequency, vibroacoustically informed album developed through research into sound, rest, and nervous system regulation. Composed between 2019 and 2020, the record explores slow-moving bass structures and reduced harmonic density, inviting a form of listening that is felt as much as heard. The work emerged from a personal process, shaped by a desire to support rest and release through sound. Music For Parents takes its title reflecting on the dynamics of parent–child re…
See-Through
Following her debut album, 'I’ll Look for You in Others' (Past Inside the Present), earlier this year, Patricia Wolf joins Balmat label with 'See-Through', her second album. 'See Through' finds the Portland, Oregon musician and field recordist continuing to develop her signature style of ambient, balancing radiant soundscaping with a carefully expressive sensibility. But the new album is also marked by an important difference. Where 'I’ll Look for You in Others' was largely written in response t…
