7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling)
*200 copies limited edition* "On the new album 7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling), Max Eilbacher juggles a series of electronic tones, carefully sculpted and spaced to form what the Berlin-based composer describes as “a structural mirage made from constant movement.” Following a conceptual compositional algorithm, Eilbacher’s effervescent, repetitive digitally constructed electronic tones seem to endlessly rise across two side-long climbs that bend and twist like a barber pole. It’s a quality extenu…
Ubikuitous - Music inspired by Philip K. Dick's dystopias
*200 copies limited edition.* Philip K. Dick's narratives are a cornerstone of dystopian literature, delving into complex and unsettling visions of the future where the boundaries of reality blur, personal autonomy is undermined, and humanity is redefined. His worlds are characterized by an intricate exploration of societal control, the fragility of identity, the consequences of drug use, and the implications of virtual reality. These themes, often presented with a prophetic tone, resonate with …
Ice Skating Elephants
2007 release ** "Cones features Marcel Turkowsky and Ulf Schutte both members of Datashock and involved in other projects/labels like Aosuke, Tapetektoniks, UUHUU, Hui Tales Collection, Leo Mars and more. Their "Iceskating Elephants" shows four different cosmic soundtravels taken from their March Recording Sessions. When they are not parading into burlesque musicalia of beautyful underwater storiedrones read in muddy submarines floating to Kurosawa´s spiderwebcastle, they are visiting more concr…
In Offret
2009 release ** ""In Offret", Swedish title for "The Victim", probably inspired by the 1986 film of the same name by Andrei Tarkovski, is a CD of ambient electronics, dark, minimal, without beats, immersed in an atmosphere of fear, on which reciting voices emerge, sampled or not. Echran, a duo from Milan, do not hide their cultured inspiration: not exactly popular films (Antonina Woicik's "Slepa Paga" for "Sister Vk"), books of a certain depth (Amelie Nothomb's "Métaphysique des tubes" for "Anod…
After The World
2005 release ** Limited edition of 223 copies in handmade foil-covered sleeve.
Process Of Elimination
Process of Elimination explores sickness as a teacher for anti-capitalist modes of being; a rewilding of the self. The product of an attempt to be indestructible, this sickness has an unknown diagnosis. The only route to determine the indeterminable is via a process of elimination. Eliminate the noise so it may quieten and make space for listening to what whispers underneath, allowing a return to the present moment. Slowness and queerness as technologies, questions as answers and mysticism as a …
Honey For The Ants
Honey for the Ants completes an ‘alchemical trilogy’, after The Funnel and Syphon. These albums are informed by mystical and gnostic texts, celebrating the weird, unhinged and occasionally beautiful.
In this forthcoming album the tonalities have shifted from mediaeval and renaissance to modernist dissonances. New singers and instrumentalists contribute to an emotional and textural richness achieved in a collaborative process. Distant musical periods, real and fictitious, are nonchalantly interwo…
Coltan
Somaticae return with its most hip hop tracks made so far. Named after the black metallic rock, this Coltan E.P consist of two recorded takes of a live set made within the same system. That’s to say, a Memphis beat and melody, all getting fed into various metallic resonators plus a bit of digital feedback on top.I hope you’ll enjoy this organic/morphing/liquid instrumental hip hop !

O Comme Icare
1992 release ** "Eric La Casa and Sylvie Larouche's first album of lush, cinematic ambience and unsettling atmosphere from 1992. La Casa's sense of drama and timing might sound familiar to those who know his (entirely excellent) later work with field recordings."
Unyt
2016 release ** "With its unique cinematic downtempo aesthetics, Unyt leads us into a perpetually expanding travel through soundscapes while playing with our centers of attention, loss of focus and a certain sense of dispersion. The album redefines Scann-Tec’s approach to musical composition and introduces multi-form field recordings vaporised in an array of analog and digital tools to create surreal and behind the veil atmospheres ; wide etheral pads floating high above his distinctive, dynami…
Pong
2010 release ** "The main instrument on this CD is the organ, which sounds in fast mechanical sequences a bit unusual for our ears and more typical for the Berlin school of electronic music. Simple compositional structure meets vivid expression, liturgical atmosphere and a sublime metaphysical line running through the whole concept of the project. Some parallels can be drawn with the CD of the Sphere Rex project, released in 2009 by the same community of labels. And it is no coincidence, as bot…
Falling Down Fearless Of Bruises
1999 release ** "Zonk't comes from Paris and is led by Laurent Perrier who used to be in Nox, Cape Fear and ran the Odd Size label and store. He is now recording under this pseudonym, and also uses the alias Heal."

Exodus
'Exodus': the third installment in Ameel Brecht's tape series centered on the theme of sleep, this time focusing on the conflicting realities of sleep and awakening. Sleep as a boundless, recurring valley. A place of wandering where you disappear among wild grasses and hungry dreams. Wake-up equals exodus: a bittersweet goodbye to half-remembered, distant worlds. Edition of 70 copies.
Approaches #1
“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn
