Mingus Dinasty
Recorded in jazz’s golden year of 1959, Mingus Dynasty is often overshadowed by Mingus Ah Um, but it stands as one of Charles Mingus’ most ambitious works. Expanding his regular band with additional players, he pushed his compositions into more intricate territory. With a lineup featuring Richard Williams, Jimmy Knepper, John Handy, Booker Ervin, Roland Hanna, and Dannie Richmond—plus guests like Benny Golson and Jerome Richardson—Mingus crafted a dynamic set blending gospel-infused grooves (Slo…

"Toe Rag Orchestra" by Shawn Lee is a remarkable album that encapsulates the essence of live, analog recording and the magic of spontaneous musical creation. Recorded in January 2024 at the legendary Toe Rag Studio in East London, the project brought together Shawn Lee, Paul Elliott, and Rupert Brown—three musicians known for their deep groove sensibilities and adventurous spirit. The trio entered the studio with a clear intention: to capture the immediacy and authenticity of live performance, f…

Ansamblul Hyperion
It's a miracle that some records ever get made. Right in the middle of Ceausescu's ultra-repressive dictatorship, composer Iancu Dumitrescu managed to arrange for his first LP, a compilation of radical new music by Dumitrescu and three of his Romanian colleagues, all older than him: Ocavian Nemescu, Stefan Niculescu, and Corneliu Cezar. Dumitrescu was -- and remains -- one of the most iconoclastic figures in contemporary music. Often referred to as a spectralist (though he distances himself from…

Killer Whale Atmospheres
Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement surprise album just in time before the migration to cooler waters. Grown in the shade of the glacier. Killer Whale Atmospheres is a future-memory affair of sub bass propulsive drones, rhythms, chords and dorsal scars building to a forbidding sense of cold echolocations yet to come through the violent procession of darkening rains.

No Rent Records releases drumloop/theia’s “nothing in the world is ours”—experimental, ambient, immersive soundscapes.
Water Witches
Water Witches is an immersive box set that gathers the early, shadowy works of Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, Dominick Fernow’s most enigmatic project. Remastered by Paul Corley, it offers over five hours of haunted ambient and drone, conjuring dense, hallucinatory soundscapes that blur the line between ritual and environment. A definitive grimoire for those drawn to acousmatic magick and deep listening.
Circular Reference
Masami Akita continues his work as the world's premiere extreme dynamicist on 'Circular Reference,' his latest full-length and first for No Holiday. It's a torrent of synthesized tones colliding against punishing layers of feedback and midrange noise. But there are also snatches of lurching rhythms to be found, as well as moments of relative uneasy calm. More than anything, it's distinctly Merzbow. Released on 2xLP and CD formats, the latest from this titan of noise is sure to please longtime li…
Friche : Transition
*Limited edition of 300 copies*
During Spring 2015, Eamon Sprod and Eric La Casa spent one week to record on waste grounds, at the north east of Paris, and along the canal Ourcq. Spaces which are somehow both inside yet apart from the city; waiting spaces from which to listen to the threshold of the city.
Paris Quotidien (CD+booklet)
For two years, Eric La Casa has been recording the urban sonic environment of Paris from the windows of his own apartment. Between a temporary inventory and a musical documentary, Paris Quotidien is the result of this long experiment. Includes a 60-page documentation booklet with photographs.
Interieurs
**200 copies** Éric La Casa probes his inner sound environment through the recording of his Parisian apartment, an artist's studio and the empty spaces of a museum.
For more than 20 years, while listening to the environment, Éric La Casa (born 1968, Tours, lives and works in Paris) has been questioning the perception of reality and has expanded the notion of what's musical today. Through his aesthetic of capturing sound, his work fits equally into the fields of sound art and music. As a result o…
Barrières Mobiles
*100 copies limited edition* "Following the 2015 attacks, all entrances to public buildings – schools, churches, mosques, synagogues, museums, town halls, police stations, etc. – were reinforced by these metal barriers, without any prior consultation with local residents nor with their being given any indication of how long they would remain in place. The public space has been covered with these barriers, which, over the last decade, summer and winter, day and night, have become the symbols of l…
Supersédure 2
*150 copies limited edition* When and how does a gesture leave the domain of the ordinary for that of the extraordinary, and is perceived as such by all ? Where, within each space, is the threshold of the extraordinary, and therefore of the musical ?
Whether playing percussion or recording, when do our gestures become musical ? (...) Where, within each space, is the threshold of the extraordinary, and therefore of the musical ? Isn't this what making an event consists of ? Deliberately interrupt…
