Tilaye's Saxophone With The Dahlak Band
Tilaye Gebre was a central figure in Ethiopian music during the mid- to late 1970s, a period now hard to document but rich with talent. His saxophone and arrangements are likely featured on many recordings from Addis Ababa of that era. Despite Ethiopia’s limited formal musical institutions, Tilaye trained at the Haile Selassie First Theatre music school, where he began studying saxophone instead of guitar under mentor Ato Aymre Gemeda. This instrument became his lifelong expressive voice.

Fragmenter 2020/23
Ghostly industrial from One of my favorite local projects. 60 minutes of warm and dreamlike tape music. This recording is for me a perfect example of how music for magnetic tape can feel as organic as the vibrations of a string or the humming of a voice, when utilizing the flaws and unpredictability of tapes and tape machines.

*150 copies limited edition* Headlights Recordings presents Manuel Mota's new work 1-7. Manuel Mota is known for the personal vocabulary he has developed for the guitar. His music draws inspiration from a multitude of references loosely rooted in the blues tradition to craft a sound which was highly regarded by Derek Bailey. Actual but transmitting an enigmatic sense of timelessness. The moment of creation- composition, and the instrumental execution- playing, are to him indistinct, and that's w…
Desaceleradas
There's a bridge in Monterrey called El Puente del papa, and beneath it, on the dried-up Santa Catarina riverbed, something happened in the 1990s that nobody planned. Gabriel Dueñez was playing cumbia one night when his turntable's motor overheated and slowed everything down - voices became ghosts, accordion drones stretched into infinity, drums turned to liquid. The crowd kept dancing. Cumbia rebajada was born from a technical failure that revealed something true about memory, about displacemen…
Oppet Tre
Sweden's late '60s creative explosion saw Roland Keijser's quartet forge unprecedented music, bridging American free jazz, minimal composition, and Swedish folk heritage. These lost Öppet Tre recordings capture a pivotal moment when Swedish musicians created sounds never heard before

The Shout
On The Shout, Rupert Hine turns a psychological horror into a study of sound itself, fusing electroacoustic experiment, synth eeriness and musique concrète into a score that feels as invasive as the film’s infamous, landscape-shattering scream.

Could Le diamant de l'herbe, a short story here set to music by Nurse With Wound, seems to prove him right...

Live at Widney High December 26th, 1971
On a Sunday in the early 70s in South LA, you could easily find yourself standing in a high school auditorium, watching Horace Tapscott conduct the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra as they poured out music like a benediction. No tickets, no VIP list—just the community, gathered. This was music as civic duty, as spiritual practice, as revolution by other means. Live at Widney High December 26th, 1971 captures one such afternoon, previously unreleased and now arriving like a dispatch from a parallel u…
Electric Voyeur / Moonlight, Again

Electric Voyeur was made by applying strict limitations using home-made electronic instruments and voice alone. The result is an album that is as trippy as it is devotional in its exquisite craftsmanship. The glorious scent of solder and silicon wafts all over this music. Crafted over the course of ten …
First Rehearsal Tapes

Visiting Cloud
What happens when electroacoustic thought migrates into the physical realm of acoustic instruments?
