Vent
In a rain forest of moments. the eye hears what the ear sees. through each moment of Karin Johansson’s and Finn Loxbo’s music runs the firm conviction that all points and layers of sound – in true democratic spirit, carry the same weight. Or lightness. as precise as scattered bird calls may be crucial to the totality and the outcome of the drama as a whole, as cautiously do they take care of the phrased line by being extremely exact with the gaps and the charged rest, where that very thing appea…
Confusional Quartet (12")

Iker
New album from Richard Youngs that, similar to a lot of his work, happened fairly spontaneously following our having heard one of Richard's sketches utilising a Spanish guitar during the spring of 2021 and being duly impressed. We then proposed releasing a CD album of such work, where Richard uses the same guitar alongside real-time street sounds, birdsong, tape loops, synth, FM radio and runout grooves to create a setting that's comparatively gentler than most of his work thus far on Fourth Dim…
Salamanca (LP)
** Edition of 300 **Salamanca, the fifth and darkest moment in Sexores discography, is a journey through the different passages of its sound history. The Mexico-based duo creates a tribute to all the witches who were persecuted and serves as an introduction to various types of magic. The lyrics are the result of an exhaustive investigation that collects elements of folklore from various parts of the planet and absorbs an unusual power and meaning when music enters some darker passages explored b…

A macro and microscopic journey int…
Fantômes
* Edition of 150 copies * Inaugurating the “Albe” series— a collection of LP’s to be released on Le Cabanon Records Fantômes is the first album by Horla. Fantômes is a musical isthmus, a frontier seldom travelled, a sonic corridor wherein animated bodies, sounds and dreams, instrumental and woody murmurs roam. Composed over the course of two years spent in Madagascar, the writing of this record bore witness to the insolent profusion and phantasmagorical incarnations of tropical wildlife, to …

Let's Talk About The Weather
* Yellow Vinyl * Gudrun Gut and Mabe Fratti have worked together on a powerful hybrid album, where taut rhythms fuse with haunted vocal melodies and spoken word, and field recordings meld with extended ambient pieces.

Mexico is the origin and conceptual residence of our label, while Germany is where we produce and manufacture our records (Berlin functions as the cen…

Music For Empty Rooms
* 2021 stock. Edition of 100* As the fourth Lowered album, Music For Empty Rooms has a more expanded sonic palette to include piano, cello, tam tam, singing bowls and room recordings.

Exotic Ésotérique Vol.3
* Double tape in transparent & black butterfly style case with both sided print original jcards and one-sided cassette labels * Since five years Artetetra has launched its relentless research into the outlandish contemporary post-geographic imageries inquiring the possibilities of a whimsical recomposition of the multiple and scattered fragments that form the transglobal digital brainthrust; always with a flamboyant, unorthodox signature tongue-in-cheek approach. Exotic ésotérique Vol.3 is the t…
Acts of Natura
"The special weather of late spring and early summer…Two friends in a room. A table, the right amount of distortion pedals, appropriate addictives. This perfect blend pulled out not just a release, but a proper batch of three tapes, full of roaring impetuousnesss and slouching frenzy harsh noise for long afternoons". Francesco Tignola
Mindset
Long awaited re-issue of The Necks 2011 masterpiece. Always different, here the Necks resolutely layer polyrhythmic material to form seething blocks of sound - in two long pieces, one more stripped back to the live trio, the other featuring multiple strata of swirling Hammonds, noise-guitar and electronics. Their 16th release still resonates on its own.
It features two starkly contrasting tracks: the pulsating, raw, 'Rum Jungle' and the slower building, rather hypnotic 'Daylights.' Polyrhythms …
To Death
This album is dedicated to death. i don’t mean death the spectre that installs horror and fear in many (in the western world), nor death the enemy of the (western) for-profit medical system, but death as part of a cycle, like birth. death the only certainty in life. Dying, like living, as something that can be done well - or not. Death also something that can be a release, a relief, a liberation, the end of suffering, a freedom. this album is inspired by my father's illness, deterioration and de…
Gewissen
Tip! * In process of stocking * His desperate need for a torrent, a precipice, a railroad track - no matter what, but instantly - made him appeal for the very last time to the topography of his past. And when, in front of him, a grinding whine came from behind the hump of the side street, swelling to full growth when it had overcome the grade, distending the night, already illuminating the descent with two ovals of yellowish light, about to hurtle downward - then, as if it were a dance, as if th…

Come Out From The Shadows 4 - Live At Lounge Ax Chicago 1993
* Limited Deluxe vinyl box with yellow vinyl and insert 299 copies only * This is the third and final installment from The Silverman’s cassette archive which had been gathering dust in a dark cupboard- and it’s a special one, especially for those who hold the “Shadow Weaver” and “Malachai” albums close to their hearts. It’s hard to downplay the importance of the show presented here. Four years earlier, in 1989, The Dots anxiously anticipated their first show in Chicago (a city they viewed as on…
Ash
Originally released as a 12" in 1988 fir Minotauro, "Ash" acted as a watershed between the transitional record "Opera 4th" (Minotauro, 1987) and "Life and Death". In a few words, in this mini-Lp markedly rock stylistic elements coexist with other more experimental ones, joined together without smearing, making the record unitary and not dispersive. "Eternal Flame" and "Electroshock" are exemplary of Paul Chain's idea of speed-metal. The psychotic "Electroshock", in particular, is quite original …
