Mother-Of-Pearl Box
Japanese composer Hiroko Matsuzaki began her classic music career as a flutist, and from 1985 to 1987 she worked as a studio musician as a flute/synthesiser player based in London, gaining an excellent reputation abroad without passing through the Japanese music scene. Simon Jeffs of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra heard this work and decided to participate in German electronic musician Rhodelius' Pink, Blue and Amber. This is the first time reissuing the lost work she produced only 100 copies before…

This Great Midwestern Darkness
*100 copies limited edition* Collected and composed from 2+ years of improvisations and "digging in the dirt" of a lifetime living in the midwest of the U.S. TGMD offers a pause to witness, imagine, and drift in present time.

Does It Still Matter
"The new avant-garde isn't about creating something that doesn't yet exist, it's about abandoning and confusing rigid genres. I want to open up, in order to both abolish and reconstruct the musical past." — Noémi Büchi
Electrical Storm At The Micro Station
We are immensely pleased to welcome into the HDK catalog Mr. Graham Simpson, a champion of electronic music who was hidden in his little house up there in the north east of England. It is reductive to place Graham's music under a specific tag because he is able to release amazing albums in any genre or subgenre that can in some way be traced back to the definition of electronic music. Albums like this “Electrical Storm at the Micro Station”, which will surely make rejoice the lovers of old recor…

Hannah is David Ryan's Irish aunt, a central and beloved figure in the vast world of the visual artist's work. Cole's sound creation is tinged with mythology. Powerful forces seem to confront each other on different scales. The prota…
A Thread, Silvered And Trembling
Scottish experimental/electronic musician Drew McDowall’s lifelong interest in an elegiac solo bagpipe style called pibroch (ceòl mòr in Gaelic) has been an inspiration for much of his previous work (including Coil’s legendary Time Machines). This form, often traditionally used for laments and for tributes to the dead, fuses modal drones with flickering dissonance and plaintive melody evoking an ancient, solemn mood. His latest work, A Thread, Silvered and Trembling, both incorporates and transf…
Out (Version) / Love (Version)
Modern Love with a new 7” series reserved for asymmetric bangers and pop diversions, opening with a double A-side from Andy Stott, his first single in 11 years. Inna bare, dancehall style ‘Out (Version)’ on the A side feels out skeletal drums and stabs for a pure adrenaline rush in the dance. On the AA, ’Love (Version)’ cranks martial drums for propulsion; a euphoric rhythm searching for a vocal. Aye it’s a special one. Some heat coming in this series, keep it locked.
Sushi. Roti. Reibekuchen
The collaboration between Brian Eno, one of the main figure in ambient music, Holger Czukay, a pioneer of krautrock from the band Can, and J. Peter Schwalm, a German composer, resulted in the creation of a musical project called Sushi. Roti. Reibeckuchen - a unique live collaboration. The impromptu performance was documented in 1998 in Bonn, Germany, but it has recently been released to the global audience.

With almost 30 minutes of music here, we very nearly get our desires granted. At last, these jaw-dropping mixes are widely available to every Arthur fan in the world. This is musical perfection.

Spotlight City
Castle Face present Dan Rincon’s (OSEES, Wild Thing, Apache, Personal and the Pizzas) premier solo release Spotlight City.
Lone
“Lone is about loneliness and hidden places. It’s been my shelter for the last three years. It’s a work full of internalized questions. Am I still who I was before? Do I have the same energy and ambitions? Is this all still really me? A sense of nostalgia permeates through all its tracks, though each one has a different root. I’ve always felt connected to both tribal and dark atmospheres, and cinematic moods as well. The beautiful dualism with CTM’s cello, and the romantic guitar featured by Car…

Hope Is The Sister Of Despair
2024 repress. In 2013, Niko Tzoumanis released ‘Hope Is The Sister Of Despair’ on limited CD, issued here on vinyl (2xLP) with 4 previously unreleased tracks. The album was made following the end of a relationship and taps into a rich vein of sequencer romanticism, from Tangerine Dream-obsessed-‘Berlin School’ daydreamers to the whole nebula of music inspired by Warp’s Artificial Intelligence series.
It also looks forward, prefiguring the return today, in troubled times, to the comforting inner…
