Spoki
**2020 repress** Spoki (Ghosts) is the sound of an artist putting their private world to tape. Of exploring and pushing the limits of themselves and technology to realise the music in their head. As Ingus Baušķenieks himself explains: “My own world differs a little from my friends tastes. And - as my father said - the collective art is not art at all.” Arranged and produced by Ingus Baušķenieks. Female vocals on A2, A3 & B3: Edīte Baušķeniece. All instruments and male vocals: Ingus Baušķenieks.
I.
Originally released in 2016 by Klopotec and ZARŠ on cd, Širom first album “I”, will see the light again on a double gatefold vinyl, including two unreleased magical tracks from the same record session, out via Torto Editions. The metaphysic and the “out of time” stream of (alt)counsciousness gets richer and even wider vibrations on this new vinyl edition. The new tracklist developed on four sides helps to give the record a spacier, deeper and detailed texture.

Anthemoessa
* Edition of 100. Housed in High Quality folded card stock silk screened * I’m thinking of following a river up and up stream until it becomes just a little trickle on a bare hill. I’m thinking of the time I climbed into the attic of my church when I was a kid, and found a disassembled pipe organ, and we took the smallest pipes with us and blew into them like whistles that made golden tones, but then we lost them or threw them away and then felt bad about stealing from church, but also ruining t…
Gritty, Odd & Good
A new weird, pseudo-music compilation curated by avant-garde experimental composer and audio artist Francisco López. As far as creation itself is concerned, big cities do not manifest anymore as the catalytic cultural centers they used to be. Their iconic status as hip locations seems more symbolic than real. The combined mighty forces of neocapitalist gentrification and telecommunication / information decentralization might have generated a substantially different landscape of geographical cult…
Live in Florence
* Edition of 175 * Recorded on May 30th, 2018 at Tempo Reale Festival in Florence, Italy. Mixed & Mastered by Ryan Power. Performed by Otomo Yoshihide - guitar and turntables and Chris Pitsiokos - alto saxophone and electronics. Layout & Cover Art by Jaime Zurverza.
The Absolute End
* 2020 Stock. Limited 12" Edition on clear white vinyl. Produced in a quantity of 213 copies (numbered) * Different Fountains Editions presents "The Absolute End" by Michael Langeder, an investigation into ending, using samples from the last seconds of 111 songs – a 20 minutes collage of constant finishing.
Plz tell me
As part of legendary groups such as Avarus, Hertta Lussu Ässä and Olimpia Splendid, Jonna Karanka has been a key player in the Finnish underground for most of this century. Through her Kuupuu alias, she dwells among an illustrious generation of Finn sound wizards which includes Tomuttontu/Jan Anderzen, Tsemba/Marja Ahti, Lau Nau et al. Through the collaging of warbled acoustic instruments and looped-up electronics, Kuupuu has long been carving out her own lines into this post-free folk/neo-psych…
Sotto
‘Sotto’ is Andrew Oda’s attempt at world building in sound. Meshing method, mind, metaphysical and mundane into massive murals, its triptych of vivid compositions seem to wield electronic sound like a magic paintbrush. Inspired by the paintings of Otto Marseus van Schrieck, Ljubomir Popović, and Nicole Duennebier, ‘Sotto’’s three parts inhabit environments bursting with explosive internal ecologies of synthesized pulsations, yawning drones, tinkling imaginary chimes, and abstract noisy rumblings…
Scribble
* Edition of 100 * 'Scribble' is truly a befitting name for this collection of miniatures created by composer and sound designer Jacob Sachs-Mishalanie. Recorded at his home this past Summer, the short, sweet pieces really are like aural scribbles in a notebook. Slightly chaotic and seemingly unintentional, the 7 tracks exhibit a childlike wonder, a fascination with how various sounds or rhythms work (or don’t work) in tandem.
At the time of writing, Sachs-Mishalanie was particularly interested …
Imaginary Island Music Vol.1: Canary Islands
Introducing a new project by Discrepant label boss Gonccalo F. Cardoso (Gonzo, Visions Congo, Papillon) and Tenerife electronic stalwarts Tupperwear (Mladen Kurajica and Dani Tupper). Diving deep into various phantom island mythologies (the elusive St. Brendan's island being a recurring motif) Lagoss borrow from the exotica playbook of ideas and twist it inside out into a bubbling melting pot of sounds, shapes and patterns that eventually confuse, wonder and (occasionally) scare the inattentive …
Deathstar
Since 2017, Deathstar has been a project about the microphone — in Marina Rosenfeld’s hands, a void, a mirror, an unruly instrument of transformation and mediation. This music is heard in traces, through thickly amplified silences punctuated by momentary eruptions of noise or a voice at the threshold of intelligibility. The sculpture at the center of the action—a plexiglas orb housing a 7-microphone array originally installed as part of an exhibition the artist mounted at Portikus, in Frankfurt …
Format
* Opaque Purple vinyl. 2020 Stock * Format draws from its Latin origin: “formatus”, meaning “to be formed”. Over two years, Germany’s Max Würden produced a variety of tracks using completely different approaches. It wasn’t until they were placed together in unison that the strengths from the variety of productions came together. Max’s studio recordings lined up alongside live performances; field recordings of foot-steps and sounds from deep forests amongst broken leaves and custom synthesizers; …
Relax and Implode
* White-marbled Vinyl * Retro future past explorer. Ultraromance, hazy desire, a whiff of nostalgia. Excitement, confusion, and disenchantment. Internalization leads to alienation. And the cognition that everything can turn into a straight up joke after a while. So relax and implode… The second full-length album of Berlin musician and futurologist André Uhl invites the listener to a sonic adventure with high emotional impact. Eleven songs are carefully crafted like sculptures in a swampy landsca…
There Is No Silence Left
* 2020 Stock * 'There is no silence left' is a collection of remixes and reworkings by Mkl Anderson of Drekka, released under various monikers between 1996 and 2012. Contains 13 previously unreleased or rarely heard tracks, including mixes for Aube, lovesliescrushing, Racebannon, Soul-Junk, and many more.
Sleep Patterns of The Discontent
* 2020 Stock * One can be a discontent – that is, an insurgent or a revolutionary – but there is also that more literal, personal meaning of the word which may be in most cases equally applicable to those to which we refer here and, in either case, there is a sort of disruption implicit, as in a hypnopompic state.» A non–linear mix by Michael Anderson / Drekka, with portrait interludes by Mark Trecka. Performed and mixed live 21 October 2015 at The Artifex Guild, Bloomington, Indiana by Michael …
Beings of ImberIndus
"Beings of ImberIndus" was commissioned as a hexaphonic sound installation to accompany the "Beings of ImberIndus" solo soft sculpture show by Carrie Weaver; presented at the I Fell Gallery, Bloomington, IN throughout December 2018 and culminating in a winter solstice ritual of cleansing. The piece began an intensive six month period of heavy deep listening and drone work for Mkl Anderson's ritual ambient industrial project, Drekka (Dais Records, Auris Apothecary, Bluesanct).
The initial session…
Respires
Respires, the second solo album by Ka Baird, blurs the line between word and action, definition and possibility. Spirited yet restrained, bearing its wildly thrummed heart strings and inner calm alike, Respires ventures toward the unknown, charting the shifting ground of experimental music and the rewards born of risk.
Tapping the ecstatic energy and cathartic experience of Baird’s live sets, pushing the extremes of psychological and physical release, Respires represents an unquestionable leap f…
Iwa Gaaden
Fourth vinyl installment for the duo, 'Iwa Gaaden' is also their third collaboration with Random Numbers. Pushing forward their commitment for processed field-recordings, micro-samples and poly-rhythmic patterns, this 5 long tells a singular and dark tale about spirits and revenge. Mixing contemporary techniques and ancient sonorities, martial marches meet ghostly rave-esque rituals. A club ready but cinematic oriented odyssey, a pitch-black ballad in the Iwa Gaaden.
UVB76 is the multidisciplina…
A l'ombre des roches
An extraordinary twilight world opens while listening to Organizatisya. Adventurous yet humble, they push the limits towards the unknown. One thing’s for sure, it’s fresher than the juiciest peach on a perfect summer day. Organizatsiya hail from Lyon, France. Leo and Zoe clearly have strong roots in folk and acoustic music. These ‘old worlds’ blend in surprisingly well with more contemporary digital, futuristic sounds. Soothing analog recordings meet hyperdigital compositions reminiscent of IDM …
Start Merge Fade
* Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies * First material from Adrian Corker since 2013's 'Raise' album. This debut release on SN Variations is an experimental piece (Start Merge Fade) for cello, hammer dulcimer, tape and moog. Driven by evolving drones that emerge you in a trippy hypnotic state, the track slowly opens up into a cascade of harmonics, sound and noise.
Flip this over for two remixes of album cuts via Circle Traps and Richard Skelton. The remix of 'Changed' is a melodic and deep techn…
