Outerlands
A quietly influential guru among electronic and experimental circles since the late '90s, Berlin based sound artist Hanno Leichtmann has been developing a sprawling and idiosyncratic vision both as a creator and curator. With a keen sense for charting new territories, Leichtmann's work spawns a multitude of languages that go from delicate ambient excursions to techno explorations or abstract sceneries on numerous sound installations, releases on such esteemed labels like Entr’acte, Karl Records,…
Under Grön Himmel
Based in Malmö, Sweden, Den Osynliga Manteln (The Invisible Cloak) comprises producer duo Ola Sandberg and Fredrik Grönvall. They describe their intention as making albums that tell stories and make journeys through textures and soundscapes of fictional places and spaces. With one foot in the past and the other in the future, the music is created to conjure both nostalgia and activate the imagination of what’s not yet here, touching both the known and the unknown. If Under Grön Himmel has an apo…
Joy Of Joys
*200 copies limited edition* "Craig Clouse has devoted the past several decades to exploring a wide range of avant-garde avenues for his brainchild Shit & Shine. The monolithic riffs of raw and powerful psych'n'roll hysteria, the freeform dance miasma, sub-heavy electronica and the blissful stupidity crafted for ecstatic ascension: all perfectly-placed in the idiosyncratic world of Shit & Shine. There's also fertile soil for twisted noises in their lowest form, often obscured by groovier comrade…
Anima
*2024 stock* Anima is not an album for people who need to remain in their comfort zone. It’s an album of spells, protections, and healings, and likely it will take listeners on a journey into the subconscious… that dreamy world where only the brave allow their awareness to open up reveal secrets often kept from themselves. The spiritual journey is a solitary one that sometimes feels like drowning and sometimes feels like flying, and this album is a soundtrack to the grief and discoveries that in…
Scongiuri (LP, Smoke)
*2024 stock* Karyn Crisis and Luciano Lamanna have coiled together to form Serpents, their new electronic-and-voice duo project. Karyn Crisis, a pioneer vocalist in the field of metal music since 1993, is known for her far-reaching vocal range.. from demon growls to angelic croons and most everything in-between. In Serpents, she explores the hypnotic and repetitive nature of charged words and a stripped-down melodic vocal expression, weaving sonic spells that are no less weird than her vocals fo…

Datu
*2024 stock* “‘Datu’ is the name given to the ruling head of a clan or tribe during ancient, pre-colonial times of the Philippines. Colonization, cultural amnesia, and the reshaping of Philippine culture throughout generations have me and countless others almost completely disconnected from our roots. With no knowledge of what stories exist in the physical reality of my bloodline, the concept behind this album is my way of reconnecting with my ancestry in the spiritual realm of the creative flow…

Espoo
*2024 stock* Vladislav Delay‘s EP »Espoo« features two new conceptual, rhythm-intense tracks. Whereas the groove of the opener »Olari« derives from a sound loop which is manipulated by filters and echoes and finally brings forth the intensifying beat, the reverse is done with »Kolari« on the b-side. Starting from an impulsive, staccato beat, a sound carpet is woven by means of modifiers which gradually shape a permanent vacation-like melody, close to Terry Riley‘s minimalistic concepts. Both tra…
Memorie Elettroniche Sonore
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Memorie Elettroniche Sonore was the first Raffaele Pezzella’s music release, long before the Sonologyst project. The EP was recorded in the Summer of 2000, and released in the same year on Cdr by Peoplesound (London, UK). No sound was added to the original recordings to preserve the music authenticity, and the cover artwork shows the original picture of the 2000 EP.
La Gomera (Art Box + Tape and Ephemera)
* Housed in a silkscreened wooden box in a limited edition of 25 copies and sold as an exclusive mail-order item only * The idea for this release started years ago while listening to a tape from the Slowscan archive containing a radio broadcast about the Otto Mühl commune on La Gomera, Portugal. Later, while working with William Levy, a close friend of Mühl, on his 2016 LP on Slowscan Records the idea arose to combine forces for an Otto Mühl LP, documenting some of the stuff from the personal ar…

Sémi Hóra
Stunning! 75 copies on white vinyl with numbered postcard and download. In the early 80s, Exart label owner Hessel Veldman regularly went to the city of Rotterdam to visit the creative minds behind local act Rotterdans. Their base was a house that both served as a home studio to record sessions of improvised music and a dealing spot for marihuana, which means customers were ringing the doorbell all day and all night long. During a late-night session one of the Rotterdans members told Veldman abo…
Panorama
Part of a (very) loose but somewhat like minded kaleidoscope where one can trace something like a Portuguese hauntology, centred around labels like Russian Library or Prisma Sonora Records, Alexandre Centeio joins Discrepant with the surefire release of 'Panorama'. A multi-instrumentalist and sound artist based in Porto, Centeio - who is also part of Stellarays and The Murmurous Playground - delivers his second album under his own name after 2022's 'Movanta'.
Signalling a departure from the inti…
1981
Based on the live versions of their "Liederbuch" tour, which took the Welttraumforscher from Milano to London or Vienna during the last two years, they developed completely new versions of songs such as "Der Traum der Welt", "This Could Be The Greatest Love in Town" or "Alpha Beta Centauri" in the summer of 2023. These special tracks as well as two unreleased songs can be found on their new cassette, which with the title "1981" refers to the founding year of the Welttraumforscher. After 19 years…
Light/Well
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* "Silence. I like silence. Silence produced by light. Sunlight that moves in slow motion through a quiet room. Islands of light, fallen through the trees, floating on the grass. With `Licht` I wanted to make music that enters your room as sunlight. Music that moves slowly through your room. Towards silence... I knew, and admired, Oberlin's work through his CD 'Writing on Water', released by Thirsty Leaves Music. I recognized the almost meditative silence in…
Stegla
Originally presented as a sound installation at the Buskerud Kunstsenter in Drammen, Norway, Joakim Blattmann’s Stegla is based on sound recordings of small movements in trees and of the insects living inside them. In the installation, these recordings were controlled in real time by bioelectrical signals from the trees themselves and then amplified through the trees via surface transducers. For this release, the recordings have been processed with electronics and tape machines to bring out the …
Spiral Insana
**2024 stock** Reprint of the 1986 LP on Torso with new artwork and additional material from the same period. Disc art is identical to Alice The Goon CD reissue. A new edition of Nurse With Wound’s 1986 LP Spiral Insana here. The album’s sprawl is one of the finest examples of Steven Stapleton’s singular sound. Working in tandem with frequent collaborator David Jackman, Spiral Insana opens with some contemplative, almost Coil-esque drones which become gradually more tortured as the record wears …
