*2026 stock* “The Missing Boys” is a film born from the need to tell the story of the emergence and affirmation of a forgotten music scene, like much of the youth movement that spread in metropolitan areas as well as in the provinces more than forty years ago, dealing with the same critical issues of everywhere. It’s a story of mostly unknown bands, who from Sardinia, especially from Cagliari and Sassari, interrupt the blissful isolation of an island, only apparently distant from that revolution…
Huge Tip! Fifty years on, an abandoned dream takes shape. What began as a post-Dark Side of the Moon whisper - Pink Floyd's notion to compose entirely from household sound - now emerges as a monument to constraint, curatorial vision, and the democracy of domestic sonics. William Hayter and Barry Lamb didn't resurrect a museum piece. They commissioned something altogether more vital: twenty-seven independent visions, each artist tasked with the same elemental rule - excavate your house for sound.…

"Collapsing Drums tells the stories that matter in a post-pandemic world" - The Wire Collapsing Tape is a sprawling 23 track compilation which celebrates 5 years of the Collapsing Drums label via a diverse pool of artists working across experimental music. It’s really hard to condense the amount of sounds going on in the 90 minutes — but here’s a brief attempt: there’s abstract vocal play (Elaine Mitchener), warm squishy electronics (Luke Sanger), frenetic turntablism (Mariam Rezaei and Dali de …
The label Ored Recordings was founded in 2013 by Circassian friends and fellow musicians Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko, in order to start an activity which is dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditional and post-traditional music of the North Caucasus.

On The Third Mind. A Sonic Tribute to the Dreamachine, a constellation of contemporary artists tune themselves to the flicker-frequency of Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs.

Broken Flag was never only a noise label. Never Say When, the compilation Gary Mundy assembled in 1987 as the imprint neared its end, is the evidence: ten tracks mapping a network that ran from Croydon to Udine, almost none of them behaving the way the label's reputation would predict.
Mundy founded Broken Flag in 1982, out of a bedroom in South London, alongside his own project Ramleh. Across the decade it issued early work by The New Blockaders, Consumer Electronics, Skullflower, Maurizio Bian…
