Backpfeifenphaseshift
Two Form a Click (DJ Snaffy, Wretchen Redspiders) collide with Horatio Pollard to deliver two sides of beautifully coalesced psychedelic synthesis, heavy with dub’s production values and freed from the grid of analog electronics. Though primarily operated by the duo of Snaffy and Redspiders, 2FAC has an open door policy which is happy to embrace lone lurkers such as Pollard. Pollard, born in Ibiza, raised in the UK and resident in Berlin since the mid 2000’s, has surely been exposed to all ends …
The Pruttipal Index
What is - or rather: what could be - a "Pruttipal Index"? In books, libraries and databases, an index is usually a concise overview or inventory. It suggests that this album could be a mini-encyclopedia of the work of its makers. In economics, indexes are measurements of the current state of an economy; which, in the case of this album, could be a vitality metrics of the Goodiepal & Pals/GP&PLS/BananSkole collective that produced it. In semiotics, an index is a sign that functions as a trace (li…
Erosion Of The Monolith
*333 copies limited edition. 2023 stock* "Back in 2004, Nigel Ayers (Nocturnal Emissions) and Phillip B. Klingler (PBK), got together to collaborate- during this session, they created two hours’ worth of material. Some of it appeared on various releases over the next few years, but a portion was left aside. Mid 2021 rolled on, and Klingler decidedly to unearth this remaining portion and thus, Erosion of The Monolith was born- which is a contemporary example of exquisitely peculiar ambience. Both…

tornskadekirke (1-4)
Bysund is in my humble opinion one of the most interesting Danish noise projects these days. With releases ranging from minimal and dense guitar noise to sharp and unpredictable computer music. This is the first non self-released Bysund album, and probably the projects most varied output yet. One hour of meticulously composed textual exploration. This is by the way the first album in a planned trilogy of guitar-based releases.
Circus Parade
Tip! A reflection on the absurdity of life with its paradoxical contrapositions: light and darkness, peace and despair, joy and sadness, all mixed together in a chaotic and ridiculous "circus", where, inexplicably, we all find ourselves in. The undeniable overwhelming beauty of it all is a constant source of puzzlement and delight where laughter always finds its way.

HBK Vol 2: Everytin Na Double
*250 copies limited edition* If we weren’t already tripped out by this whole Honour thing, HBK Vol 2 has sent us thru the looking glass. A properly shapeshifting mixtape/album bursting with enigmatic head-scratchers on the Hype Williams x Klein axis, but probably also featuring contribution/s from Wu-Lu and we swear we recognise **** ****'s voice too, but honestly, who knows. Honour’s music runs against the grain without feeling overly conscious or ironic about it. Their grasp of atmosphere and …
Limen
*2023 reissue* Last year, Kenyan sound artist Joseph Kamaru (aka KMRU) and French digital alchemist Niamké Désiré (aka Aho Ssan) were invited by Berlin Atonal to collaborate on a project for the festival's Metabolic Rift edition. The duo had already been working together, but the offer provided the momentum to shift the conversation into another gear. Initially, they looked for thematic connections within their individual practices that might match Kamaru's meditative soundscapes with Désiré's c…
Oeuvres Complètes
Violet Vinyl Edition. 40th-anniversary edition. Korpses Katatonik was a musical solo project of Zoe DeWitt during the years 1982 and 1983. Unlike DeWitt's later project Zero Kama, the work of Korpses Katatonik remains entirely within the realm of electronic music and shows an uncompromising experimental style comparable to that of other industrial bands like Coil, Throbbing Gristle, SPK, or Cabaret Voltaire. Like many other exponents of industrial culture Korpses Katatonik was inspired by dark p…
Mysterium, Incubus et Terror. Music inspired by Edgar Allan Poe stories
Edgar Allan Poe’s power to inspire artists of various different mediums and styles has been a significant factor of his enduring popularity, as has the man and the mystery himself. Whilst the academia hauntings of M.R. James and the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft have experienced something of a renaissance in recent times, E.A. Poe has always been a lingering presence. His meandering stories featuring such things as the onset of plague in a quarantined complex, troubles at sea, a murderer preyi…
Pity By One All Good Treasure
*300 copies limited edition* LA Timpa snagged our attention with his exceptional debut ‘Equal Amounts Afraid’ for O___o?,and an acclaimed follow-up for Rabit’s Halcyon Veil, which eventually led to a guest spot on SpaceAfrika’s cult lightning rod ‘Honest Labour’ and a remix for Tricky. After letting the dust settle, hereturns with a new collection of songs mired in rawly sublime melancholy, turning existentialreflections into a richly evocative sort of chamber pop akin to Arthur Russell jamming …

Etudes De Rien
* Edition of 200 copies, black vinyl * The New Blockaders are unique in the history of music and art. What, in our opinion, stands supreme in TNB’s 40-year existence is a passionate execution of their anarchistic and unconventional stance. In a biographical reference, TNB are often cited as pioneers of Noise music but for TNB themselves Noise music is not just an assault on tonality but a complex language of communication. From Luigi Russolo's 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto to TNB’s T.I.C. manifest…

Jackson-Pratt & Shredded Nerve
In this split two masters of their craft each make a sonic homage to a different painter. The sounds from both Shredded Nerve and Jackson Pratt capture varying degrees of reflected light. Jackson Pratt places us inside what feels like a painter’s studio, spacious and sun soaked with large northeast facing windows. Every sound flits in the sunlight with room to expand and contract. Stark forms emerge from a sparseness which defies titles. Seany’s compositions evoke a sense of endless variation mu…
