On The Skipper, Henry Franklin steps out from the sideman shadows to helm one of Black Jazz Records’ most beloved releases, a deep, earthy fusion of spiritual jazz and funk‑tipped groove. His bass becomes both rudder and engine, steering long, flowing tunes that move with unhurried authority and luminous ensemble interplay.
Digisleeve CD. The debut album from the original Amon Düül commune collective, released in 1969, stands as one of the most radical and uncompromising documents of the entire German underground scene. This is not Amon Düül II - this is the larger, more chaotic collective that spawned the more structured offshoot, and Psychedelic Underground captures their approach in all its raw, untamed glory.
Recorded in a single marathon session, the album is less about traditional songcraft and more about com…
"Kluster (1969) metamorphosed into Cluster (1971) and Cluster became Qluster (2011). In a period spanning over 40 years, Hans-Joachim Roedelius was a driving force behind this unique transformation. Now, as Qluster, he has recorded together with Onnen Bock in the latest incarnation. Three albums already released document the current status of their musical journey to pastures new. Lauschen is not a studio album, but a live recording of a performance for which Roedelius and Bock invited world mus…
In the wake of the acclaimed Inland See, the on-growing analog ecosystem being animated for ten albums now by Bitchin Bajas boasts new high energy views. “Isle Peaks” speaks of directions in beats of time, weather and the heart to wherever coast they found themselves when they got it all laid out. Sourced from Inland See sessions, these cuts were subjected to further edits and tweaks, with electroacoustic textures of sampled kalimba, field recordings, autoharp and EWI to activate and transport d…
On Electric Garden, Sissy Spacek and Smegma blur into a single, unstable organism, trading identities inside a live electro‑acoustic tangle where tape, junk percussion, turntables and guitar debris drift through The Pink House like sentient interference.
On his self‑titled debut, Bauke Meersman steps into focus with an intimate, detail‑oriented statement: a set of pieces shaped as much by touch, space and recording perspective as by melody, quietly framed by DHM Records’ tactile artwork and production care.
** Deluxe matte laminate gatefold sleeve and polylined paper inner sleeve ** Paris, August 1969. Sunny Murray books a studio for a single afternoon and walks in with thirteen musicians - among them three members of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the working sextet built around Archie Shepp, and the singer Jeanne Lee. What they cut that day, Hommage To Africa, is one of the high-water marks of the legendary BYG Actuel catalogue, and one of the warmest and least abrasive records the free jazz moveme…
CD edition. Ohr present a reissue of Amon Düül's Paradieswärts Düül, originally released in 1971. In 1968, the Münchner Kommune, formed in 1967, had applied to Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, the organizer of the Essen Songtage, for a gig there. When the Düüls arrived in Essen, already two bands of this name in the meantime, since three members had split off and now called themselves Amon Düül II.

2022 Repress. "Joe McPhee's solo album, Tenor literally changed my life. The recording (one of his first for Hat Hut, in September 1976) displayed his unique ability to integrate unconventional sounds and extended techniques with pure melodicism, and it permanently altered my perspective on what the saxophone could do and what music could be. Nation Time was recorded six years earlier, but ideas regarding the integration of means and methods were already at the forefront of McPhee's approach to …
Gary Sullivan's Bodega Pop project returns to Dinte with a cassette-only collection of traditional sounds plucked from CDRs found in the night-markets of Savannakhet, Vientiane, and Luang Prabang.
*75 copies limited edition* Created from field recordings gathered during a 2023 residency in the Brazilian Amazon, Sonavira explores the intersection of ecology, culture, and sound. Captured in the rainforest, along the Amazon River, and near the Balbina Dam, these recordings reveal a dense sonic environment where wildlife, indigenous presence, and the sounds of modern infrastructure coexist in uneasy harmony. Its title combines Latin and Romance-language roots associated with sound, life, grow…
*200 copies limited edition* Rope is a collaborative improvisation between musician and producer Al Wootton and musician and percussionist Irene Bianco. Wootton’s hardware processing of various sampling methods, plus guitar, bass guitar and clarinet, provides a counterpoint for Bianco’s experimental treatments of drum kit, bells, vibraphone and other percussion instruments. The result is foggy, dubbed out, glacial, free form compositions that defy categorization.
Mai Mai Mai’s artistic path has never rested on laurels, it’s been a constant evolution, a profound and poetic research, a dark and dusty journey through awareness and collaborations where the heart of the process has always been about building connections and understanding people and their rituals. Mai Mai Mai’s new album ‘Karakoz’ was mostly recorded in Palestine (Ramallah and Bethlehem) in 2024 during an ongoing genocide and follows his acclaimed Southern Gothic double-album ‘Rimorso’. The al…
In early 1967, John Coltrane died. Christian Vander was twenty years old, living in something close to poverty in Paris, and Coltrane's death pulled the ground from under him. He went to Italy, to Milan and Turin, and spent nearly two years in a state of deliberate self-destruction. One morning in Turin he woke up and decided to stop. He returned to Paris, met bassist Laurent Thibault, and began working on something that had no name yet.
By 1969 Magma existed as a group. By 1970 they had a contr…

Emerging from the creative orbit of 577 Records, the trio crafts a vivid and unpredictable sonic landscape where abstraction, rhythm, lyricism, and raw momentum exist in constant motion. Mela’s additi…
Still Life with Lemons began as a ‘Reflex’ commission from the Amsterdam venue Bimhuis. This album is a live recording of that special first performance. Powerful musical characters meet on stage in a spirit of exploration, friendship, and openness, through the energetic and interplay-driven world of Marta Warelis’ compositions, where each musician’s distinct approach shines collectively. They explore the multilayered and the multiphonic, with a special interest in beat frequencies. This collect…

Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music, presents Obsession Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Rock Burwell. Obsession follows a hopeless romantic that finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
“A big focus while composing Obsession was the idea of exploring the uncanny valley, finding the space where emotions get warped into something disorienting, where you’re no longer sure what’s real" Burwell notes. "C…
