*300 copies limited edition* "A new edition of the original statement first released by Nil By Mouth Records on cassette and immediately sold out. Old Europa Cafe is making available once again transmissions that refuse to be suppressed by the smothering hands of the seemingly ubiquitous audio platforms. Drawing inspiration from the forefathers of Power Electronics, but pushing the foundational doctrines into new territories, Terror Cell Unit are truly deacons shepherding over the flock of moder…

Vincent Dallas is one of the best things that happened to the noise underground in recent years, plain and simple. Passionate no frills approach harsh noise often reaching mesmerizing levels of intensity, always done with visionary talent, enthusiasm and love by a great guy. These recordings are fantastic, it's all I can say about them. They're possibly my favorite from Dries, and i've played these tracks over and over since he sent me the master.
''There was an idea, a purpose to forget everyth…
Finnish craftsman Moozzhead - active since '94, resurfaced with a vengeance in recent years after a long hiatus, releasing a string of flaming hot tapes on great labels. Here he offers five tracks of joyful and vibrant harsh noise, to take you back to those magic early 90s summer nights spent by the blue light of softcore tv transmissions.
Comes with two sex cards.
Tip! “This is what we need! In these confused, populistic and fascist times — this is the jazz we need! Urgent! Dedicated! Radical! Unique-face-peeling-cutting- edge- and- totally-in-your-face-MF! This is all we need for a better living! Think… Borbetomagus, John Zorn, TG, Masami Akita, Hanatarash… this is it and yet, not at all alike!” - Mats Gustafsson "Absolutely blistering duo album. The sax sounds like it's laser-cutting its way through the atmosphere while the drums expand and contract the…
Tip! “Desperate death throes roaring from a man playing the saxophone with more agony than anyone has ever seen before.” - Toshiji Mikawa “A gem, a badass. One of the most talented saxophone players I have ever met.” - Otomo Yoshihide This is Martín Escalante’s solo CD debut (not counting a few homemade CDrs and tapes or a 12” produced by Lasse Marhaug). The title of the album and the liner notes tell us that its content is harsh noise played on a saxophone acoustically without any electronic ef…
It all started here... “Eternal Paralysis” and “Peony Crackers” is two fantastic works produced by T. Mikawa's Pariah Tapes label in 1981 and 1983, which were not sold publicly and only friends could receive them. The red and green paper is used as in the original release, and the handwritten logo and titles by T. Mikawa on the master tape case are reproduced in full. The result is the fruit of early acoustic experimentation, including the destructive sounds of the self-made noise generator “The…

Matte laminate and embossed sleeve, with insert card and fold out poster + vinyl sticker (20cm long). Recorded in 1996, Merzbow's The Prosperity Of Vice, The Misfortune Of Virtue is one of a series of unique editions from his vast catalogue that reveals a side of his practice often under represented. During the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Masami Akita was sometimes working on film and theatre music. In this space he created a series of recordings that capture the full scope of his sound world…
Most intros to a Richard Ramirez album mention he's an artist that needs no introduction. Presenting a brand new album with five tracks of harsh noise, low end drone thrumming, crunchy textures and good old fashion sleaze. Further indication that Richard remains one of the most consistent and important artists in noise.
Released in 2020, “Kana Bathed In Cobalt" continued Slit Throats’ the obsessive exploration of the pageantry in Japanese women's wrestling (joshi puroresu) that began with "Dedicated To Hana Kimura" and continues to drive the project today.
On this recording, Roman choose to meditate upon one of his favourite matches of the modern era, an almost theatrical production of traditional Japanese music and beautiful blue lighting as two of the world's best waged war upon each other.
Now, on the eve of…
"Strings leads once again to Omaha, to Cast Off Form, a commuter between acoustics and noise, who sniffed at "Ruach" and listened to "Resonance". Here he performs a happening with unrecognizable guitar, persistent tam-tam and motoric rattling effect, as a to-and-fro of wiry fluttering beats with the buzzing, purring motoric, which escalates into harsh noise as a wall of sound and in impulsive spurts and thus gains the upper hand. The second, again buzzing and humming, varies this with extreme ma…
As some of you may know, Robert Turman co-runs the "brick and mortar record shop" wing of Hanson Records with me. Like me, he's worked at record shops for a lot of his life, unlike me, he's NOT a record collector, though he's recently started a small collection here at the shop. His collection consists of about 15 completely trashed, no cover records that he would listen to until they skipped, then he'd leave the skip on and record it. This release is a collection of skips he's collected on the …

A slow building, dread filled bass rumble that gradually builds in intensity before you release you're surrounded by dense, crunching textures. Originally released on cassette in an edition of 30 copies, which was the last Less Than Zero cassette and last release for almost 10 years.
An icy cold blast of Italian harsh noise from Gabriele Giuliani, across two tracks of blown out electronics and feedback. Originally released as a cassette on Less Than Zero in 1996 and presented in a digipak case with a replication of the original layout.
Tip! Mold is back, now on vinyl! This collaboration between two modern masters of tape noise unites their forces in a live recording session, resulting in their most uncompromising and relentless harsh noise album to date. Primal, saturated textures collide with howling, strangled feedback from dying microphones, creating a whirlwind of harsh, broken, and distorted micro-universe crackling with short circuits. It feels as though the tape itself is melting under the weight of intense, overdriven …
