Music Compilation: 12 Dances
On Music Compilation: 12 Dances, TRJJ turn disguised authorship into groove: twelve slow, zoned, sample‑rich “dances” that treat anonymity as a filter, stitching African and American folk, free improv and loner ambient into one beautifully crooked continuum.

Dalbergia Retusa
Extraordinary double LP of solo guitar music by Hans Reichel (1949-2011), curated by Oren Ambarchi.

Sounds simultaneously strange and beautiful, from romantic lyricism to alien sonorities. Essential.

Sinkronia
“Iker Munduate is an artist and musician who brings a delicate sense of composition and design... Inspired in part by new age music, Its rippling melodies and frictionless glide recall the futuristic utopias of Detroit Escalator Company and the interior reverie of Nobukazu Takemura" - Derek Walmsley Continuing from where he left it 2 years ago after a sold out debut LP released on Hegoa, Iker is back with his follow up “Sinkronia”. A gripping take on Eastern and Western minimalist traditions inf…
Intervalli (1950-56)
VERY last copies * Edition of 200, comes with an insert * Giuseppe Chiari's Intervalli, composed between 1950 and 1956 and now recorded in complete form for the first time, is one of the most significant and least heard compositions of the European post-war avant-garde. A twelve-part work for solo piano, it sidesteps the dominant Serialism of its moment entirely - arriving instead at a form of radical restraint that prefigures Minimalism, systems-based music, and conceptualism by more than a dec…
Off Off
*300 copies limited edition. Exact reproduction of the original folded screenprinted cover (when open dimensions are 69.7cm x 62.30 cm). Screenprinted innersleeves.* When Off Off came out around June 1984, one couldn’t speak of an independent music scene in Portugal. Warm Records’ vague existence didn’t have any impact and Dansa do Som’s inaugural release appeared only in December. 10 years after the revolution, after two IMF interventions, a lot of political instability (not to say turmoil, in …
Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni
** 3LP Boxset, 192 page illustrated book by Majid Bita, Postcard, Classified Government documents ** In an age that demands hyper acceleration, kinetic flashes and byte voracity, Blak Saagan sticks out like a sore thumb with a sprawling body of work that requires attention and unlocks profound symbols and meaning with every passage. After a 5 year gap, the Venetian composer returns with his most personal and openly political statement yet, ‘Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni’, a staggering 108 minu…

Wind
Before becoming recognized as an influential figure in ambient music, Gigi Masin was working for the Italian postal service. In 1986, he privately released Wind, his first album, choosing to share it mainly with friends and audiences at his intimate performances rather than pursue a commercial distribution. Much of the remaining vinyl disappeared when a flood destroyed his Venetian home. The album’s origins went back to Masin’s years as a local radio DJ, when he used the station’s equipment to e…
Space Guitars
Music for New String Instruments, composed and performed by Allan Bryant. A pioneer of underground American electronic music, Bryant helped push the boundaries as a founder member of Musica Elettronica Viva alongside Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, and Richard Teitelbaum. Following his departure in 1968 he continued to independently compose, record, and archive live vintage MEV sets on his own IRML imprint until his death in 2019. During a period in the early to mid 1970s, Bryant channelled his …
Burn the Plastic, Sell the Copper
* Edition of 100 copies * Two years of sessions went into this record, spread between 2023 and 2025 at Marmalade, the West Loop studio Ishmael Ali co-founded and works in as an engineer. Nobody was watching the clock. You can hear that in the shape of the thing: ten pieces that were never meant to add up to a single argument, solo cello miniatures wedged between full band tracks, a couple of them actual songs with words and a singer. The solo pieces may be the strangest part of it. Ali amplifies…

On Kozmické louky, Magdaléna Manderlová turns a Silesian floodplain into both subject and collaborator, braiding on‑site field recordings with electroacoustic composition and invited responses to chart a living, climate‑shaken wetland as it listens back.
Torn Asunder: The Half Girl
*300 copies limited eidtion* Power Electronics, for the most part, stays within its lanes of transgressive misanthropy, with a blackened explosiveness of tortured psyches and nightmarish reflections for the darkest facets of the human condition. Since Whitehouse introduced the phrase, concept, and framework to Power Electronics, its authorship has been primarily male. But within the past decade or so, a diverse web of voices - female, feminist, non-binary, queer - has thrust the PE aesthetic bey…
Up Your Sleeve (LP)
** Edition of 500 copies with a numbered 4-page insert ** Previously released in 1980 on David Toop’s Quartz label at a time when improvised music in London was settling into a long spell of excellence. The players here are Steve Beresford, Peter Cusack, Terry Day and David Toop. Terry had been a member of The People Band in the 60s, one of the groups forming part of the first wave of British improvisation. The rest of the group could be regarded as pioneers of a second generation of improvisers…
