Quiet Storm
Space Afrika, the Manchester/Berlin-based duo of Joshua Tarelle Reid and Joshua Inyang, make raw, intensely detailed, visceral music with shades of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and modern classical, drawing spacious urban dubscapes from the contours of their city.

Between soil and signal
“between soil and signal” is a three-part audiovisual performance featuring live electronics and Cretan bulgari. It reimagines the atmosphere of long-duration poetry singing and oral traditions from Balkan, mainland Greek, and Cretan communities. Expanding poetry beyond language through an interplay of immersive sound and dynamic moving images, the performance crafts a world that is at once synthetic and organic, fragile and intimate, inspired by cosmogonic myths, magic spells, and folk songs. T…
Big Gamble
*2026 stock. 10 copies limited edition* Although Jackson and McLean spent many of their formative years playing in an array of dubious named and increasingly outsider rock groups, ‘Big Gamble’ is the first time they have ever made music purely as a duo.

Young Blood
Mysterious, primitive lo-fi ‘pop’ from Swedish enigma Mind Control Hands - was anyone ever meant to hear this?
Something of a needle in a haystack. The depths of the internet are flooded with snippets of information about enigmatic CDrs, often no more than a crusty JPG and a bit of text, if you’re really lucky a single track to listen to. The vast majority are of no interest, but perseverance pays off. Mind Control Hands, originally birthed in the endless sprawl of CD-baby era early 00s micro…

Fulguromatic
"Veteran Spanish label, Margen/áMARXE, returns after its outstanding releases of recent years with the first album by an incredible French duo called Fulguromatic. Deeply fascinating, creating unique spaces between the sounds of Canterbury, jazz-rock and incorporating a light, playful and somewhat mischievous touch from the planet Zeuhl that is tremendously addictive. Absolutely captivating, both musically and timbrally, thanks to the use of invented instruments that give it a French flavor "naï…
Fuera Del Cielo
‘La Balsa’ was the first Argentine massive rock hit. In 1967 Los Gatos became the most famous local rock band with this song. At the front, as composer and singer, was Litto Nebbia. Although this milestone has remained eternally linked to Nebbia's name, almost eclipsing the rest of his work, it is really his solo career that unveils the artist's overwhelming talent and his determination to create music freely, regardless ofcommercial considerations.
“Fuera del cielo” (1975) is an art rock/space …
Creamcheese Duesseldorf 1968
The experimental project Pissoff was founded in the late 60s by multimedia-artist Eberhard Kranemann and some friends who studied together at the Düsseldorf Academy Of Fine Arts. The chaotic, loud and soundwise undisciplined band took part in various events at this location and other places. Due to the intense fluctuation of band-members the performances by Pissoff were characterized by continously changing participants and variations of the involved equipment: cello, violin, clarinet, tenor sax…
Aéroproducts
**150 copies, clear vinyl** Rotorelief presents a reissue of Alésia Cosmos' Aéroproducts, originally released in 1985, with bonus material.

The dazzling epic of the magic combo has bec…

The following year, when I bought my first synthesizer, I considered …
Aktivitat
Limited and numbered edition of 100 copies on clear vinyl. From 1983. Neuronal radioactivity, supported by ancestral sounds that emanate from atomic testing flows that absorb a loss of fallen energy. The mutant nucleus emits subtle scents of chemical processes for synthesizing the listener decay. Considered a high-water mark of early industrial, Maurizio Bianchi Aktivitat went against the grain prevalent at the time; rather than pushing the boundaries of volume and pummeling rhythm (f…
Schubkraft
“Kontraktion” and “Extruder” are the results of various tape-sessions by Conrad Schnitzler and Siegmar Fricke in Con’s former studio Leberstrasse in Berlin.The soundscapes on both records (produced in November 1986 and July 1987 with EMS-Synthi A, Korg MS 10 + MS 20 + delays) contain all the machinistic energy and infernal industrial sound-eruptions similar to Conrad’s first three albums “Schwarz”, “Rot” and “Blau” and to the rumbling train wheel rhythms of “Zug” (from the “Red Cassette” 1974).
