Uncanny Valley
*250 copies limited edition* “Uncanny Valley” is a dynamic album based on the so called uncanny valley concept of Robotics professor Masahiro Mori. Instead of searching for the meaning of the concept and the relation to the music, you can also just let go and let the music overfloat you. It´s a mesmerizing mix of drones, melodies, noises and beats, that grabs for attention.
The Syntape Years 1981-1983
If you're already aware of Rüdiger Lorenz, chances are you washed ashore on 'Southland', his cult kosmische curio graciously reissued by the ever-benevolent Bureau B in the middle of the last decade. Either that, or you're one of the few hundred electronic music obsessives who encountered his work the first time round, giddily grabbing up the eighteen cassette, vinyl and CD releases the prolific part-timer delivered DIY style on his Syntape and Syncord imprints between 1981-1998. I say this beca…

He's also released a series of EPs and one album under his Loops Haunt alias via the Black Acre imprint.

Each set is a study in using mechanica…

The Neuromancers. Music Inspired by William Gibson's Universe
*200 copies limited edition.* The soundtrack of a future in flux. As the father of cyberpunk, William Gibson imagined a world where technology and society collide, blurring the boundaries between human and machine, individual and system.

In his vision, technology is a tool of empowerment and cont…

Flipperen
'Flipperen' takes the randomness of pinball and turns it into music. Using recordings from old pinball machines, the music mixes chaos and structure, reflecting the Fluxus spirit of play and chance. It's a wild ride through sound, where things don't always make sense--but that's the fun of it.
Glow World
*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …
Selene
Limited edition of 500 on cloudy white vinyl. Atmosphere and gravity lean into each other. They are simultaneously expansive, and anchoring. They hold us, and lend a sense of perspective. Akira Kosemura & Lawrence English provide a stability and a knowingness which is essential in the absolute, and yet we can't help but find ourselves gazing upward, outward and reaching towards that which sits outside those things and ways we know. Selene is a record about that this lingering desire for that whi…
Dialektik
*37 copies limited edition* Formen's second album, "Dialektik," approaches the ambivalence of our contemporary society through the possibilities of sound design. The individual tracks, as well as the album as a whole, are filled with emotional contrasts, conflicting timbres, and inherent ambiguity. By bringing together opposing ideas, the album attempts to develop its own aesthetics, combining seemingly contradictory concepts such as noise/harmony, dysfunction/function, analog/digital, nature/te…
In Veil
Refracted's "In Veil" materialises as the third emission in the Titrate series. A gradual unfolding across six passages, each step a study in the dissolution of boundaries. Here, time becomes elastic - synthetic textures breathe alongside captured moments of reality, neither demanding prominence nor seeking refuge in the background. Percussion appears as memory rather than rhythm, while drones hover like fog over unknown lands. Cut to 180g vinyl and embraced by 350gsm reverse board, "In Veil" do…
