Broken Flag was never only a noise label. Never Say When, the compilation Gary Mundy assembled in 1987 as the imprint neared its end, is the evidence: ten tracks mapping a network that ran from Croydon to Udine, almost none of them behaving the way the label's reputation would predict. Mundy founded Broken Flag in 1982, out of a bedroom in South London, alongside his own project Ramleh. Across the decade it issued early work by The New Blockaders, Consumer Electronics, Skullflower, Maurizio Bian…

“rat” is an electronic project born from the gutters of Brussels in 2024 by long-standing collaborators “neither” and “Milius.” After 15 years of hidden experiments they have been assembling a sonic language where glitch, ritualised circuitry and spectral noise merge. Their debut release "home" (Futura Resistenza) unfolds as a labyrinth of disjointed rhythms, haunted textures and fleeting moments that feel slightly out of time. Very little is known. All you can do is listen.

2010 release ** Limited numbered edition of 142 copies. Special cardboard sleeve. Entities is the spectral realization of a process of transformation, or even a mutation, of a sound material stemming from recordings of tracks originally created to be played in concert. These works for voice, bass and double bass, processed with computer, were organically modified to insure their concrescence, their future, and confront them with the game of difference. After all, these entities come from everywh…

Bloodsport Gambler is a table-top board game for 1 or 2 players, focuses on a tense & seedy story of risk, luck, and the efforts that sway fate in your favor. Thrust into desperation by swelling debts, you must gamble on the foul pit fights of Ghoulmorrah in a last-ditch struggle to pay off a merciless syndicate of moneylenders. With looming payments fast approaching, the only way to beat the odds is to sleuth, scheme, and sabotage. While a sure bet is favorable to warding off debt collectors, t…

For the first explorers, the Dark Caribbean was paradise. They had found only deserted islands and rich treasures. It was only when thousands left their overcrowded and corrupted homelands to colonize the islands that the Scourge appeared… Frightening screams echoed across the beaches, and from the night-black waves the undead rose. Terror spread like wildfire. First they came one at a time, then entire hordes, and soon the settlements were submerged by rivers of lifeless, nameless creatures. Po…

2003 release ** Bloodyminded is a heavy electronic band, formed in New York, in 1995, after the dissolution of the pioneering American post- industrial noise group Intrinsic Action, founded by Mark Solotroff, in Chicago, in 1984. Bloodyminded’s live shows are exceptionally energetic and are characterized by physical engagement, layers of abrasive analog synthesizer, aggressive vocals, and abundant feedback.

2014 release ** "There’s an incredible amount being offered up on Botul à la campagne, which takes ideas and brings out so much that the average musician wouldn’t think to do. Côté and Kese both manage to brilliantly bring forth so many different ideas and techniques, and string them all together into one coherent album package that just works. Botul à la campagne sees jazz music turn into dark ambient music turn into classical music without any notion or effort whatsoever. There’s some wonderfu…

Startled out of a nightmare, words and melodies echo – emissaries of the Tempted Dissident. Minimalist analogue electronics and haunting vocal lines emerge from the darkness and get caught in the folds of the brain. That’s how you might feel after listening to the fourth album by Te/DIS. The clarity of the electronics and vocals does not fail to make an impact. With this release, Te/DIS continues the sonic path laid out by the previous albums, shaping a body of work whose internal coherence is a…

Déjà si mort is a manifesto of inconsolability. The eponymous title track is deeply moving. At its core lies a female voice of disarming authenticity, permeable and vulnerable. This creates an immense emotional density: pain that is not staged, but lived. This is underpinned by throbbing analogue drums, whose stoic pulse carries the almost liturgical synthesizer motif. The second track responds in its own way. And in general, Distoromance do things their own way – they sound like no one else.

2012 release ** The achievement of Ailleurs is that by mutating its intonation and freeing the bass from its limitations as a purely rhythmic instrument a new interface appears. The reverberating result is of an expansive formula that evocatively builds on expected bull fiddle timbres the way a realistic photograph could be the basis for a surrealistic art. It's the 19th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel F. Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).

2011 release ** This release occupies a very rarefied and odd aesthetic, evocatively pitting flurries of remote-sounding electronics against thin sinews of violin. The disc oscillates between a type of ironed-out fiddle music (all ornamentation and melodic contours pressed neatly into fibrous drones) and crackling electrostatic emissions, synthetic hacks and bleats ― a renovated version of sounds from the bygone era of analog abstraction and punch-card operated computing. Said oscillation happen…

2011 release ** No concessions made by the three brooding magicians here to variations in tempo, register, or pitch, and XYZ soon succeeds in wearing down your resistance. Succumb freely to these splendid close-knit wafers of electro-acoustic intensity. It's the 15th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel F. Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).

2010 release ** Musically, the trio succeed in conveying a true “Heart Of Darkness” soundscape with their playing, painting a dark green hell where we can feel the moss and fungus dripping down our backs, and Werner Herzog is never more than five feet away in his questing canoe. The music also suggests the grandeur, the solitary and unknowable nature of these grand old men of the forest who probably keep the secrets of the ancients locked up in their thick bark. Truly atmospheric! It's the 14th …

2010 release ** Ellipsis is a gorgeously and skillfully rendered set of pieces that calls for listening to over and over again. It's the 13th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel F. Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).

2010 release ** Taking the form of a sumptuous and exquisite musical nightmare, Ave <w> is Tiari Kese’s first album. Recorded and produced by Michel F Côté, these enigmatic electronic compositions feature as well an array of conventional instruments such as piano, organ, strings, percussion, trumpet and vocals. A sonic treat for insomniacs, Ave <w> can also be experienced along with illicit substances or divine drinks, or both. It's the 10th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - …

2010 release ** Nine pieces of some great orchestral music. Moving slowly, like gentle minimal music, which slowly, over the course of these pieces built up. It combines improvisation (although sparsely here), with minimal glissandi and small melodies, which rise up from those gentle waves of heavily and heavenly layered small orchestral sounds. Think Olivia Block, but perhaps with a bit more improvisation in some parts. Great chamber music, relaxed atmosphere, jolly fine music. It's the 9th pub…

2009 release ** The nine pieces are relatively short and in a strange sort of way quite noisy. Strange because the bigger part the music is acoustically made, but with that bit of amplification that makes all the scraping sounds wandering off every now and then in the realms of feedback like sustained sounds, this is certainly not an easy work to access. Its however one, I think, that is quite beautiful. The sustaining sounds produced by what seem to be the main instruments (saxophone and viola …

2008 release ** Drums & laptop. Then add a third ingredient to the first two: multiple samples. In La notte fa, Côté and A_dontigny have laid down sculptural music on a groove. Contribution by Bernard Falaise, Alexander MacSween, Jean René and Alexandre St-Onge. It's the 6th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel f Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).

2004 release ** Everything sounds remarkably organic, blending the electronic and the acoustic into a fluid whole. As I walked around Yonkers, NY's Untermyer Park today, a space I've known intimately for the past fifteen years, I listened to the snatches of melody 63 Apparitions offered up through my headphones. Untermyer is filled with ruined and decaying buildings, overgrown vegetation and crumbling faux-Roman architecture. I couldn't help but thinking that Côté's music provided my stroll with…

2004 release ** Circular remixing, deconstructed concerts. Here, Bernard Falaise is the recomposer, abandoning his guitar in the service of Martin Tétreault's material. Eleven pieces of three minutes each make up this body of music, reconstituted from a raw, dense, purely analogue sonic universe, that of MT. BF undid in order to redo. Result: an audacious remix, clear, precise and digital. It's the 2nd publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel f Côté & Fa…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* "Faraway From Light" is a tripartite CD in a short intro, an equally short outro and a long central composition. Much of the sound sources used in these tracks were recorded in the towers of Teufelsberg in Berlin, a NASA center located in the west of the city, abandoned by British and American intelligence after the fall of the Wall. Teufelsberg, literally "mountain of the devil", stands on an artificial hill, obtained from the sedimentation of the remain…

*2025 stock. 60 copies limited edition* In the late 90s i was djing at radio blackout with Fabio Battistetti. A lot was changing for Gerstein: as already happened in1989, I was living a creative crisis, so I thought that the right solution was to change everything. But How? I decided to have a different approach to sound by manipulating samples and frequencies created with the pc. the result are these eleven tracks of which only few have been released in the past. three of them can be found on t…

2005 release ** La mer, la bataille, la mort is Soft Black Star's latest album. Five songs united by a love of literature and cinema. Electroacoustic sounds and field recordings blend into cinematic homages (Aguirre). An early 20th-century vinyl record spins, crackling. Zeno Gabaglio dispenses love with his cello in Moishe & Buddy. Radio waves sinuously flirt with the Farfisa in my living room, with a half-full ashtray on top. The homage to Sokurov in Russian ark, with his inevitable improvisati…

2008 release ** Originally recorded in 2002 and performed once at l’Oeil de Poisson in Québec City the same year. Fan-CD (mini CD within a transparent full-sized CD), front jewel case is scratched by a microphone 100 times in a circle pattern. Everything revolves around these words: the circle, by the dog. I believe that this word, used by those for whom the earth revolves, is singular: a rigorously extended straight line, plural: an eternally centerless circle which, to advance, turns on itself…

2009 release **
