Natural Selection
Unlike much of Florian Hecker's recent work, such as 2021's 'Synopsis Seriation' or 'Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera', his acclaimed PAN-released collaboration with Mark Leckey, there's no single overarching narrative that binds 'Natural Selection'. Hecker describes the sprawling, nine-track album as a "constellation of pieces originating from related investigations", and the clue's in the title. Ranging from under a minute to over half an hour, these works have been grouped together because t…

Backengrillen
”Music and art without definite labels is a necessity for a better living - create your own individual genres and open up for more death-jazz-core-noise-metal-poetry to enter your world of destroying the local and global stupidities around us” - Mats Gustafsson "We really hope this slab of stupid, violent death rock will ruin someone’s day. Haha." - David Sandström Backengrillen is a new ensemble with their roots in HC, punk, noise and free Jazz. All members from Umeå, with roots in the original…
Let the Spirit Out/Live at 'Mu' London

Sielun Kuilu
On Sielun Kuilu, Abysse Des Âmes distil their dark noir avantgarde into an even thicker, slow‑moving venom: electro‑acoustic shards and brittle surfaces drift in a black ether where every gesture feels weighted and terminal.
Amore Mio Aiutami
Sonor Music Editions proudly presents the definitive reissue of Piero Piccioni’s often unheralded soundtrack to the 1969 bittersweet Italian comedy classic Amore Mio Aiutami (Help Me, My Love), starring two giants of Italian cinema, Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi. This soundtrack is a prime example of Piccioni’s immense talent as a composer of timeless, lushly orchestrated lounge music — a masterpiece of its era that rightfully deserves its place alongside his most cherished works from the same …
Light
On Light, Palle Mikkelborg condenses a lifetime of orchestral colour into a quietly radiant final opus: solo trumpet, flugelhorn and piano drift through self‑designed soundscapes, joined sparingly by harp and guitar, like hymns remembered in slow motion.
Ebbing Ice Lines
Ebbing Ice Lines is Pablo Diserens’s attentive fieldwork voyage across the Arctic’s melting frontiers—a collection of sonic essays mapping disappearing ice through the sounds of water, animal life, and shifting glacial surfaces, bringing listeners into intimate proximity with an environment in flux.
My Shadow
One of the most striking and enigmatic works to appear on Discreet Music in recent years. There is a long tradition of artists who have tried to set scripture to music and failed magnificently - the failure itself becoming the subject, the wound becoming the work. Carrie DeCunzo Mirande's debut album belongs to this lineage. In the twenty-four days before Christmas 2024, she read the twenty-four chapters of the Book of Luke and attempted to respond in sound. Two piano pieces emerged - one inspir…

The Sympathy Portal
*300 copies limited edition* Recorded during lockdown and previously only available as a CDr self-released in an edition of 99 in 2022, The Sympathy Portal collects four tracks (one of which is divided into three parts) that make full use of Edward Ka-Spel’s command of melodies, cosmic churn, subtle field recordings, percolated vocals, hypno-rhythms, tempered noise, broken clocks, atmospheric keyboards, uncoiling springs and carefully hewn dynamics. Coupled to often despairing or melancholic lyr…
Agate
Tip! Kitchen. Label is proud to present Agate, the latest album by Japanese artist Meitei, marking a deepening of the world he first shaped through his Kofū trilogy released between 2020 - 2023. Named after the mineral agate, a stone formed through slow accumulation, pressure, and time, the album reflects Meitei’s patient approach to sound. Agate brings together extended and newly rearranged works from across the Kofū cycle alongside new compositions and passages, refining material developed thr…
Vipérine
*300 copies limited edition* "Turner Williams Jr.'s music unfolds like a crossroads, where ancient and modern traditions intersect and attract each other. We hear American Primitive Guitar (Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Sandy Bull), the trance of Indian ragas, melancholy of Celtic ballads, the most experimental side of French folk revival (René Zosso, Rémy Couvez, Pierre-Jean Croset, Valentin Clastrier), while allowing the memory of even more ancient music to filter through (Marin Marais, François C…
Reflex
Francesco Messina is perhaps best known for his collaboration with fellow composer Raul Lovisoni on the album Prati Bagnati Del Monte Analogo, originally released on seminal Italian label Cramps in 1979. Along with contemporaries Franco Battiato, Juri Camisasca and Giusto Pio, Messina would help reshape the world of modern composition with an organic rawness and haunting beauty.In 1979, Messina was asked to perform at the Teatro Quartiere in Milan. As the composer writes in the liner notes, "Due…
Regression
Tip! Printed artwork on reverse-board inner & outer sleeves.Pressed on 180g Vinyl. Includes DL card. Razen is the collective consciousness of core members Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, who since 2010 have realized themselves through virtuoistic and highly expressive improvisations with lesser-heard instruments. Experimenting with repetition of tones through controlled breathing and phrasing, Razen arrive at a synesthetic playground of auditory textures and colorful imagery. The ensemble is ca…
The Last Slogan (Book)

120 Days Of Sodom
*300 copies limited edition* Re-edition of the Cult Industrial-Noise / Power-Electronic split album out in 1997 on OEC. The original LP, limited to 470 copies, is long time sold-out: time for reprint it into CD format. It’s amazing, it has been 28 years since the original split LP was released. These tracks all sound better than ever thanks to a meticulous mastering job by Grant Richardson. “120 Days of Sodom” is accompanied by the only previously unreleased Deathpile track, which was recorded i…
Abstract Forms
**300 copies** By the time the 1980s rolled around, most of the old guard had either hung up their saxophones or sold their souls to the synthesizer in ways that made you want to weep into your Campari. Not Sandro Brugnolini. The man who'd spent the late '50s channeling Miles Davis through the smoke-filled clubs of Rome with the Modern Jazz Gang, who'd scored jungle goddesses and naked panthers for Ruggero Deodato, who'd descended into the psych-fuzz inferno of Underground and Overground when th…
