Music To Watch Seeds Grow By 008: Salamanda (Basil)
On Music To Watch Seeds Grow By 008: Salamanda (Basil), Salamanda miniaturise their left‑field ambient world into a single pot on a windowsill: a slow, luminous day‑in‑the‑life of a basil plant where light, water and time turn into gentle pulses, drips and dreamlike drones.
Various Artists - My Heart is Dust Before Him: 21st Century Gasba from Algeria
Across western Algeria, the gasba, a reed flute central to Bedouin folk traditions and ceremonial music, continues to appear in new forms. Once associated primarily with saint festivals and trance rituals, its distinctive hypnotic sound now sits alongside the drum machines, synths and electronic textures of contemporary raï. The recordings collected here come from Oran, the port city of Western Algeria widely regarded as the birthplace of raï. Before raï became an international pop phenomenon, i…

Mighty Vertebrate
After many supporting appearances on IARC across the years (including Makaya McCraven's Universal Beings in 2018, Daniel Villareal's Panamá 77 in 2022 and Lados B in 2023, Bex Burch's There is only love and fear also in 2023, and earlier this Summer as a core member of SML on Small Medium Large) we could not be more ecstatic to announce our first lead artist release with Anna Butterss!!!

The Closest Thing to Silence
In August 2022 the Australia-based, French born new age musician and electronic music composer Ariel Kalma was invited to participate in BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction series of special collaborations. The program pairs artists who have not previously worked together to create new music cooperatively. Kalma was quick to suggest working with two musicians whom he had never met – International Anthem recording artists Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer, whose critically-acclaimed duo debut Recordings …
Edge Conditions
'Edge Conditions' is the new album by Chicago born and raised, longtime Los Angeles based composer, synthesist, and multi-media artist Jeremiah Chiu.
Glass Torso
“Joe Fujinoki centered the compositions of his latest album Glass Torso around the idea of the fragility of the human body. Fujinoki described the narrative thread of the album as that of “holding the shape of a human body as if it might shatter like glass”. The precariousness of the body, the essence of the body as defined by Fujinoki as the torso, and the object relations between the boundaries of dialectical exercises pack themselves into his creative process. Fujinoki recorded Glass Torso ex…
Mettasun
Vocalist, producer and musical visionary Jimetta Rose announces the release of solo album MettaSun, via our dub label Day Dreamer. Inspired by the interplanetary mythologies of Sun Ra, MettaSun reimagines a selection of the cosmic jazz pioneer’s most iconic recordings through Jimetta’s unique lens – a powerful expression of the female imaginary and a positive vision of radical hope and Black joy amid the chaos of contemporary America. MettaSun is Jimetta Rose’s solo opus. Embracing the Sun Ra’s …
Air De Rien
*2026 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Air De Rien, because it is not nothing all these small tunes in the air... This double vinyl is shared - each one its face - by four musicians or groups who each traces in watermark an original line of conduct, soft and harsh, off the beaten tracks.
A lot of purity in this project - and in these four achievements - in those times of useless filling. Music and visuals are discreet, a fine black and white, like the engraving of this psychedelic pseudo-brain…

The Moon and the Melodies
Almost forty years after it was initially released, 'The Moon and the Melodies' by Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd is reissued on vinyl for the first time – remastered, from the original tapes, by Robin Guthrie himself.
Phren
On Phren, Marta Salogni and Stefano Pilia build a shared electro‑acoustic architecture where guitar, tape machines and field recordings circulate like memory in motion. Signals move through modular processes, echoes and Revox loops until origin and reflection blur, turning six slow‑unfolding pieces into a living study of sound, time and feeling.

Ghosted III
Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, and Andreas Werliin return with Ghosted III, their most immediate and adventurous collaboration yet. Recorded at Stockholm's Studio Rymden, this third excursion into spontaneous rhythm creation blends ambient neo-jazz, postkraut, and minimal funk with newfound looseness and wild exuberance.
Further Explorations
Huge Tip! Further Explorations follows on from Gentle Fire’s 3CD retrospective box set Explorations, released in 2020. These new archive recordings came to light in the process of unearthing the tapes for the 4CD box set by their fellow Stockhausen collaborators Intermodulation. The pieces used on this CD are taken from two sessions recorded for German radio in 1973 and 74, one for Sender Freies Berlin and the other for Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt. These beautifully recorded and preserved p…
Black & Beautiful / Soul & Madness
Three LPs came out on Jihad, the label Amiri Baraka ran out of his own house in Newark. Two of them - Sonny's Time Now and A Black Mass - entered the canon of the New Thing decades ago. The third stayed a rumour: a title traded between collectors, a track a radio DJ might drop once a year, a record far more people had heard about than heard. Original copies surface rarely and sell for three figures. Black and Beautiful... Soul and Madness is back, on vinyl for the first time since 1968.

Creating Enka - The 'Soul of Japan' in the Postwar Era (Book)
In Creating Enka: The “Soul of Japan” in the Postwar Era, Yusuke Wajima dismantles one of modern Japan’s most durable cultural myths. This prize-winning history shows how enka - often treated as timeless tradition - was actively remade after the war, becoming a powerful, contested symbol of national feeling, commercial culture and popular memory.
The Kármán Line
The Kármán Line is the threshold - the precise altitude at which the Earth's atmosphere ends and open space begins. Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble understood the metaphor immediately. This is music made at that exact boundary: grounded in groove and breath, but pulling steadily toward something without ceiling.
The story begins in Tokyo. Neil Innes - bassist, producer, the animating force behind ATA Records and its consistently remarkable Leeds-centred roster - and woodwind voice Chip Wickham were n…
