Books have been written, recordings analyzed, colleagues questioned, and nevertheless Bix Beiderbecke remains as much an enigma today, ninety-five years after his death, as he was to friends and fellow musicians during his all-too-brief, personally and professionally erratic odyssey through the 1920s. The body of work he left behind both reveals and conceals crucial aspects of his creative reality and unfulfilled potential, while innovating a subtle, eloquent manner of expression that would sugg…
50th anniversary limited edition. First-ever 24Bit/192kHz remaster from the original tapes. 180g black vinyl, numbered. His father was an American soldier from North Carolina who left Naples when James Senese was eighteen months old and never came back. What remained was a saxophone, a surname that didn't fit the neighbourhood, and two musical worlds that Italian society had no language to reconcile. Senese found that language himself - first in the soul and R&B of the Showmen in the 1960s, the…

On Saga of the Outlaws, Charles Tyler turns his Albert Ayler-honed fire into a single, 36‑minute “polyphonic sonic tale,” driving a rough-riding Rivbea band through chants, stampedes and long, wind-scarred horizons of sound.
*300 copies limited edition* The first resonant space Zosha Warpeha played in was the Emanuel Vigeland Museum in Oslo, Norway. Built as a mausoleum, its walls reach up into a gradual archway, creating an environment where sound expands and reverberates for twelve seconds before decaying into silence. Warpeha was greeted only by dim lights when she entered, and it wasn’t until she had spent several minutes listening that she was able to make out the frescoes that covered every inch of the room: g…
What an opportuunity ! On the suggestion of Maciej Karlowski, percussionist Ramón López invited me to play in Lublin Jazz Festival. From a list of great musicians who might join us to form a trio the name of Trevor Watts was one that immediately excited me for quite a few reasons: Firstly, he along with John Stevens , Paul Rutherford , Evan Parker and Derek Bailey allowed me as a novice to enter into the rarified world of The Spontaneous Music Ensemble. I was a total greenhorn in free improvisat…
On LDS, Henrik Raabe steps away from Wareika’s cool deep house and into a slow‑burn world of dub‑soaked guitars, pastel synths and feather‑light percussion, folding jazz, Afro pulses and 1980s UK dream‑pop into something quietly hypnotic.

**Finally repressed, absolutely recommended!** An incredible box-set with 33 compositions from 1964 to 2007 that includes a 92-page booklet in French and English. The best way to enter the world of Bernard Parmegiani, French composer of musique concrète, member of the GRM group.
On El Llamado (Der Aufruf), Mario de Vega distils a performative piece for dispersed voices and whistles into a stark, fixed composition, turning a global collection of wind instruments and a single outdoor activation into a study of call, place, and the politics of listening.

2025 stock “Regarding the title of the album what I found by looking further is ‘Inside Out’. To explain in a few words from Hungarian: at the base, there is ‘itt’ = ‘here’, and ‘ott’ = ‘there’. From ‘itt’ derives ‘ide’ = ‘from there to here’, from ‘ott’ follows ‘oda’ = ‘from here to there’, so there is a dynamic in ‘ide’, which there is not in ‘itt’, which is stable. ‘Kint’ is ‘outside’. ‘Idekint' therefore means, that we are outside and we invite to be outside (while ‘Odakint’ would mean that …
On Taillis, Roxane Métayer and Charles Dubois cultivate a sparse, alive thicket of sound where violin, prepared drums and resonant objects trade roles, letting melody, pulse and texture quietly braid into fragile, shifting song‑forms.

A milestone. T H I R - Ten Hundred Inch Radii - is among the most historically significant works in Phill Niblock's output, and one of the genuinely undiscovered jewels of American experimental film. Completed in 1972 as the fourth and final chapter of his Environments cycle - begun in 1968 - it is presented here for the first time on DVD, with two alternate soundtracks, by the Italian imprint Von.
Niblock occupies a peculiar and underacknowledged position in the history of American Minimalism. …
**3rd pressing with letterpressed insert** “Peace is not the word to play” rapped Large Professor on Main Source’s 1991 debut album. His plea to stop abusing the word “peace” simply for rhetoric flair sounds just as valid in today’s genocidal world as it did in the streets of New York over 30 years ago. For Oiro Pena to name this album Béke, meaning peace in Hungarian – or white people in French Caribbean creole – it seems like they finally have something to say. With this group/concept/project …
