Discon
Since its formation in 1984, there have been several distinct phases of Kapotte Muziek in which the group changed. The group commenced as a duo of Frans de Waard and Christian Nijs, and operated as such until 1987 when Nijs left and started to learn to play the guitar. Then followed a phase in which De Waard actively searched for other musicians to contribute sounds to be used as source material. In 1993 a new phase commenced when the group were invited to play a series of concerts in the USA. I…
Samling
Originally compiled as a two cassette release by Archivio Diafònico in 2016, now reissued as a double CD for optimum playback at your next MRI scan. Samling documents the earlier, "noisier" years of Arv & Miljö, collecting all compilation appearances from the project's inception in 2010 up to 2015. The project has since moved to a more ambient sound, having recently completed a stunning tetralogy of seasonal themed LPs (Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid, 2018; Himmelsvind, 2020; Ensam Är Nattens Rymd …
Breaks
Debut solo CD by Wuhan-born, London-based artist, Zheng Hao, who also performs in the duos Oishi (with Ren Shang) and ecm (with Joseph Khan). Four lean and sinewy improvisations; the sound of tightly controlled buzzing and rippling electric currents, pointillistic splintering rhythms and textures, sparse jagged incursions, and wiry static blasts. In the artist's own words, Breaks explores "rhythmic patterns from dusty potentiometers and dirty electronic circuits in modular synthesis improvisatio…
Magical Nights – Saigon Surf, Twist & Soul (1964-1966)
Tip! In 2010, Sublime Frequencies released Saigon Rock and Soul, a compilation of wartime rock ‘n’ roll tracks from Vietnamese groups with distinctly American influences. Included among them was “Đêm Huyền Diệu (Magical Night)”, a slinky, horn-packed song attributed to a young singer known as Phương Tâm, though it later turned out to be artist Connie Kim’s rendition.Magical Nights: Saigon Surf Twist & Soul makes up for this error and then some, putting Tâm’s powerful voice and entire prolific ca…

First edition of 1000 copies." "First ever reissue of this Brazilian private press monster rarity. Originally custom pressed in 1980, Rosa De Sangue is the closing chapter of the amazing Recife psychedelic movement that flourished and centered around the work of Lula Cortes, beginning in 1973 with the release of Satwa, an…
Planeten Sit-In
"Whereas the two earlier Cosmic Jokers albums, the eponymous first effort and Galactic Supermarket, offered long, intense, free-flowing jams, Planeten Sit-In contains much shorter snippets of music patched together with cross-fades and weird electronic effects. The effects -- burbling electro noises, high-pitched twees, and other sci-fi sounds -- are even more prevalent, erupting out to drown out the drum, guitar, and bass rhythms, as if to make full use of the quadraphonic sound of the original…
Corridors
The first full length cd from Byron Westbrook’s Corridors project. Meticulously and seamlessly mixed live guitar drones specifically assembled for this release. Limited to 500 copies and housed in a custom oversized sleeve.
This album consists of recordings of the audio component of three works for multi-channel audio and video. Each piece was performed with the same distribution system, using either treated recordings of instrumental performances or live guitar feedback as the sound source. The…

Untitled
Over the past year-and-a-half, the duo of Dexter Brightman and Jair Espinoza have explored abstract electronics in increasingly new and interesting ways. Over the course of numerous tapes on labels such as Avant Archive, Neon Blossom, and others, the duo has combined the ideas of repetition and sound art and continually mutated them into something that is becoming increasingly difficult to pin down. With the recent “Tek No Muzik” 12” on Crazy Iris, mechanized acid was introduced in the mix. It i…
之 / Of
Tip! ** Edition of 500 140gm vinyl in a natural translucent colourway ** ‘’之 / Of is a word that can be used as a preposition to express the relationship between a part and a whole. It is an unfinished tone, a broken sentence, a start and a whole. It is sustainable, full of potentials and longings.’’ London based performance and sound artist Li Yilei shared an experience familiar to many migrants during the past year of Covid-19 chaos. With their UK visa set to expire, and family back in China, …
The Mauricio Kagel Edition
"It's fascinating, and a wonderful reminder of how fresh and unique Kagel's place in the history of music in the last half-century is." - The Guardian
Live In Amsterdam
*2025 stock* Warehouse fund ! The legendary Monk's quartet appearance at the world-famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in May 1961. The high priest of Bop, one of the most important, if enigmatic figures in modern Jazz together with three of his main disciples, tenor sax specialist Charlie Rouse and the ultra dynamic rhythm section of John Ore - double bass and Frankie Dunlop - drums, in a wonderful performance based on super tight renditions of classic tunes such as Jackie -ing, Straight No Chase…
The Rest Is Silence – Music Of Our Time
*2025 stock* "Stefan Winter, head of the Winter & Winter boutique label, has a different attitude to popularising classical music. Rather than relying on the familiarity of old favourites, he believes that contemporary classical music is more accessible than its ascetic, atonal reputation suggests, and can find an audience outside its assumed intellectual elite. Hence this compilation of excerpts from the label's catalogue…" - The Independent"Winter & Winter is something of a special case when i…

Kantrimiusik
*2025 stock* “There is freshness, there is (self) irony, there is a desire - and for once let's say it without shame - to have fun with music. [...] Nature triumphs in all its aspects: noises and sounds of birds, pouring rain, thunder, animal cries, alternating on the lines of a fiddle violin.” - Corriere di Bologna

Schwarzes Madrigal
*2025 stock* "In composing a piano trio, I fulfilled a long-fostered desire. This is a genre which, like the string quartet tradition, can slightly intimidate any composer. I too waited patiently but anxiously to make my own contribution. The pre-history of the piece is closely tied to my Music Epic about the devil, La Trahison orale (Oral Betrayal), which I wrote in 1981-83. When conceiving this work, I had already decided to compose character pieces, relatively short numbers with a particular …
Playback Play
*2025 stock* Famous for his examination of unusual and exotic instrumental sounds, here Mauricio Kagel focuses on the most mundane of sound materials. While attending a music trade show, Kagel was taken by the many levels and orbits of sound activity emanating from the various booths and stages. In 'Playback Play' (subtitled 'News from the Music Fair, A Radio Piece') he has arranged a spatially sensitive tableau of crowd noises, sales pitches and fragments of the sort one hears in music store sh…
La vie en prose
Outstanding!!! La vie en prose is Michel Chion's first musical work composed in the 2000s. Thanks to musique concrète ways and means, it fulfils the composer's childhood dream of composing a Symphony of Energy in four movements of sharp contrasts. There’s no narrative in this one hour and a half long Symphony, but a cast of characters, some vocal, instrumental themes and sounds that circulate, disappear, pop up, stretch, decline and lose themselves in time. This work features analogue and digita…
Cherry Jam
* Cardboard sleeve with Japanese replica obi strip and fold out liner notes sheet * Never-issued work from Don Cherry – and a really key piece of the puzzle in the career of this legendary trumpeter! The recordings were done for Swedish Radio, with great fidelity – more than just live tracks captured in a club, and instead some really thoughtful material that marks an early pairing of Cherry's talents with the Swedish scene that he would soon call home! Don plays cornet, and the music is maybe …
