Música para 10m2 de Relva Sintética
»Música para 10m2 de Relva Sintética« (Music for 10 square meters of synthetic grass) includes a live recording of the Niagara performing at MAAT museum in Lisbon on 9th April, 2020. The recording is taken directly from the concert, without any additional production or mixing. The set begins with strong nods to US minimalism before evolving into a quirky new age affair. Later, vocal experiments and some dreamy synth excursions set the tone. The gentle sound of water splashing is almost constant,…
Silances
Digging deep into the legendary Igloo Records catalog, Holidays Records returns with the first ever vinyl reissue of the imprint's sixth outing, the Belgian composer Henry Krutzen’s astounding 1981 LP, “Silances”. An entirely singular gesture at the borders of sound poetry, musique concrète, and radical electroacoustic practice that draws upon disparate elements of drone, jazz, minimalism, ecstatic tribalism, and various traditions of music from across the globe, decades on from its original rel…

Phant[as]
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Italian Audio / Visual artist Camilla Pisani joins us with her new album Phant[as]. Imagined as a lucid nightmare, fuelled by her various inner struggles, it is a trip into the depths of imagination. The project is inspired by Phantasmagoria, a form of theatre that was most popular in Paris in the 18th century, in which images of skeletons, demons and ghosts were projected onto walls and/or sheets. During these performances, there was a rapid succession o…
Detect
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Aesthetical in collaboration with Sync presents "Detect" by Marco Monfardini. Originally developed as an audio/video live performance, Marco Monfardini based his research for Detect on the decoding of inaudible sounds, sound generated by electromagnetic emissions left from electronic devices and inaudible to the human ear. By using various electro-smog detectors Marco Monfardini creates a sort of detection mapping where electromagnetic emissions are the s…
Psiche Liberata
Fera’s trajectory sticks out like a sore thumb, you need to invest time, carefully divided between body & mind, to truly take a deep dive into his audacious output. After the acclaimed ‘Stupidamutaforma’ and ‘Corpo Senza Carne’, Fera is back with ‘Psiche Liberata’, an oblique, imperfect and broken record, in other words, exactly the type of magical voyage you want to be on. The mind, finally liberated.

Toon
Slovakian producer Monika Subrtova presents her first solo LP ‘Toon’ - a collection of chilly visions drawing on influences from 90s Electronica, Techno and film composition. Until recently, the majority of Subrtova’s work has been released and performed alongside Daniel Kordik under their raucous project Jamka. Whether working collaboratively or alone - Subrtova adopts the spirit of modular synthesis, allowing music to unfurl naturally through presence with the machines and progressive paramete…
Complexification
Released in digipak. Limited to 200 copies. Guy Birkin and Sun Hammer deliver the elaborate results of their delightfully intellectual 'Complexification' project via Entr'acte. The Complexification project explores musical complexity through a collaborative process based on a set of rules:
1. Make a short, simple piece of music.2. Swap copies of the pieces with the other person.3. Modify the given piece to make it more complex (the given piece must be used, but it can be transformed in any way, …
Scutigère
Julien Palomo (1978) is a free jazz producer and keyboards player with Sonny Simmons, Other Matter and United Slaves. Scutigère is his first album proper, and should be considered a state of mind as well as music.
Painting with Priests
2024 lucky restock, sold out at source Robot Records, Yesmiisolga and Elica are happy to present the first Christoph Heemann and Steven Stapleton duo album. It took almost thirty years, but in 2012, thanks to Yesmissolga and Musiche Possibili, two leading and influential artists of underground experimental music, who have been marginally working together despite their long friendship and common attitudes, managed to directly create music together for the first time in occasion of the concert he…
Beach Jolanda
** 2024 lucky restock, sold out at the source ** So Sweet! Edition of 400, with a full-colour sleeve and insert. It’s taken 14 years for these extravagant Icelandic artist troubadours to follow up their last (untitled) album. (At least they managed to give this one a name ; imagine what else they’d be capable of if we’d waited another five years. ) Beach Jolanda transposes their classic calypso - beach - bar - laptop - organ gibberish to the unmanned terrain of public lavatories in the dead of n…
Versus
This album marks a new direction and development of Higgins' acclaimed work as a guitarist and composer, drawing on electronic music, free improvisation, and avant-garde modern composition, Versus is a highly emotional and expressive work that pushes Higgins' own instrumental virtuosity into new territories. He performs guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, drums and laptop programming across a 9-track record that traverses and transforms many aspects of Higgins' earlier work. The title track "Versus"…
Bohemian Blue
Following on from the release of Jaroslav Kořán’s “Zahrada” and Richter Band’s “Smetana”, Infinite Expanse returns once more to the early 90s Czech alternative music scene with another set of transcendental acoustic new-age recordings. It comes in the form of “Bohemian Blue”, an album by a short-lived trio formed by Jaroslav Kořán in 1990 following his departure from Richter Band and tracing his next musical steps. At the same time, Jaroslav Kořán, a fiddlerophone and percussion player, left the…
A Glimpse of Light
An absolute gem from the vaults of '80s Ambient music and the Dutch underground, Dead Minds’ reissue of Enno Velthuys’ astounding 1984 album, "Glimpse of Light", is a crucial missing link, one of the greatest unheard albums of its era, and one of the most beautiful records any of us is likely to encounter all year.
Hybr:id III
Noton is pleased to announce the release of HYbr:ID III, the third chapter of Alva Noto’s HYbr:ID series initiated in 2021. HYbr:ID III, continuing the trajectory established by its predecessors, crafts a soundscape of meditative and resonant tones. Drawing inspiration from Noh, a traditional Japanese musical drama dating back to the 14th century, the album reflects the genre's distinctive rhythmic movements and its nuanced expression of emotions through subtle gestures. “The HYbr:ID albums are …
Space Opera
Pianeti Sintetici presents AI-37, entitled ‘Space Opera’. Conceived by Italian artist Davide Perrone, the Pianeti Sintetici (“Synthetic Planets”) project hypothesises the creation of future synthetic worlds as told through sound. Although split across two parts, the album is a singular organism that narrates a journey of boundless cosmic exploration. A sonic tapestry woven of intergalactic atmospheres, Space Opera’s imaginative sound design contributes to a richly spatial and haptic experience.

The Mute Fortress
*60 copies limited edition* Francisco Meirino's The Mute Fortress plays with the time and space of its sound materials.
He expands, unfolds and unwinds the ghostly voices that circulate in a jigsaw puzzle of sequences that the mind assembles as it sees fit.
Oasis
2024 reissue. Dettinger’s Intershop and Oasis have long been held, by many fans of ambient and electronic music, to be some of the finest albums in their field. Produced by the mysterious Olaf Dettinger, about whom not much is publicly known, they were some of the earliest full-lengths released by the then-nascent Kompakt, and in many ways, they both articulated and defined the sound that would come to be known as Pop Ambient, while also existing, somehow, to the leftfield of any clearly recogni…
