Involucri
2011 release ** Hand numbered limited edition of 474 with custom deluxe cardboard package. "Behind Uncodified we find Corrado Altieri, who also works as TH26 and Monosonik. This is first release as Uncodified. He uses sounds from analogue and digital devices, manipulating tones and textures. Its the most interesting release of this trio. High piercing sounds and deep textures, with acoustic stumbling around. Drone like, maybe even noise based at times, its an interesting merging of various style…
Double Miroir
2015 release ** With oversize booklet. "Dante Tanzi has studied electroacoustic music and worked for the Musical Informatics Laboratory of the University of Milan from 1985 to 2009. He has written many articles and reviews for various sound art and electroacoustic papers and participated in numerous prestigious events such as the Festival Futura in Crest and the Festival Licences in Paris. As you would expect from such a curriculum vitae, the sound work on Double Miroir is of the highest caliber…

This alb…
Tribute To Jackie Mittoo
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Hybrid is a word used indiscriminately in our daily lives. This record isn't a hybrid; it's beyond hybrid, post-hybrid, so to speak. Does this phrase sound complicated to you, and are you never overly convinced by music theory and its caricatural aspect? Then forget what you’ve just read and listen to both sides of this record. You'll soon realise that these tracks are deliciously deft, drawing their essence from dub while leaving room for some skillful …
Le Commerce
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Poly Dance Theatre speeds up the tempo (perhaps in search of lost time) and so here already the first announcement for the next release: POL008, called "Le Commerce" (The Business). It's a very special record. Beyond the deep bass line, the efficient ryhtmics and the ghostly apparitions of dubbed-out commercial romantic melodies, this 10" is above all an object-question, a small political gesture of sabotage. Be careful. Be careful. Rare! Very very very r…
Halki Pilvien
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Halki pilvien - transl. Through the clouds - brings exactly what one expects from the clouds. It is a collection of soft and gentle movements, as playful as a ‘Jan Anderzén type of music’ is always. A collection of patterns that solidify for just a brief moment in time, before sublimating in the back of the mind. This album is in constant motion. Push play. A warped piano and cartoonish SFX’s might foretell a hyperreal approach to music. Yet while the ch…
Crimson Umbrella
2007 release ** "What if Z’ev had written the intro to Darkthrone’s Blaze In The Northern Sky? With that question in mind Finland’s Rakhim unearth Crimson Umbrella, a two-track fit of kraut-noise psychosis, schizophrenic percussive clatter and layers of effects and over-processed vocal chants and screams. The nightmarish deconstruction of “Transylvanian Error” and “Ultimate Sword” bare only trace elements of main members Krypt and Rudimentor’s day jobs in Circle and Pharaoh Overlord, with Rakhim…
Ification
2008 release ** "After more than ten CDs and several vinyls under different aliases, projects or collaborations that ranged a multitude of musical styles over the last 15 years, Pure’s newest release is now proudly presented by Crónica. Three and a half years later than scheduled, and six years after his previous studio CD release “Noonbugs” on Mego, Pure returns with his fourth solo full-length album — “Ification” — the outcome of a long period of live work (documented in the first two volumes …
Live In Los Angeles
2005 release ** A certain humor shapes the conceptual dialectics of the Chessmachine live experience. Their interplay suggests the historical confrontation of East and West; an austere and chilling tete-a-tete over the chessboard that reconstructs the somber milieu of a bygone Europe, even as it conveys a kind of absurdist levity through the rehearsed performance of these roles. The use of MAC and PC computer operating systems by Chartier and Pavlov, respectively, becomes the late-20th century m…
Earthen - A Cold Spring Sampler
With two exclusive tracks by Coil and Psychic TV.
Earthbound
From 2019 to 2022, Gorgun drafted the record twice, then deleted most of her sketches. By the time she opened a new session, she had gone through an accidental electrocution, a cancer diagnosis, and an allergic collapse that nearly suffocated her. During treatment, chemotherapy left her in a cognitive fog known as "chemo-brain," forcing her to relearn the craft of composition from scratch. While rebuilding her own focus, she watched her friends, relatives, and musical heroes battle illness, reco…
To Material Past
Akhira Sano is a Tokyo-based artist working across sound, drawing, installation, and video. His practice finds generative potential for music in life's fleeting incidents, etching meaning from unassuming spaces and resonances. With releases on 12k, LAAPS, IIKKI, and The Trilogy Tapes, Sano has steadily carved out a distinctive voice within minimal and experimental music - one that privileges attentiveness and patience over spectacle.
"To Material Past", Sano's debut for SWIMS, carries this threa…
Limbo Channel
Rose Hill Records proudly presents Limbo Channel, the new album from Basque-born experimentalist Nad Spiro. The enigmatic alias of Rosa Arruti, Nad Spiro has been an essential figure in Barcelona’s cutting-edge music scene for decades. The Limbo Channel is a haunting, liminal, late night album. A complete sound-world of cavernous spaces, textural drones, fractured guitars and mangled voices, all steeped in radio-art culture. Laden with static pulses and snippets of rhythms and electronics that s…
15-Tet Oakland
2010 release ** "Recorded at 21 Grand in Oakland, California, this disc features a truly monster lineup of musicians adding to the Sissy Spacek core duo of John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau. We’ve got guitarists, woodwind, percussion, drum and double bass – hell, even a koto player makes an appearance, and each musician is a shining light of the Californian experimental musical landscape. Guided by a graphic score the musicians play in a semi-improvised manner, eschewing the traditional punk hyperac…
Gates of Horn and Ivory
Tina Records presents the apocalyptic visions of Nokuit. Constructing a hellish diorama across six tracks of industrial electronics, Gates of Horn and Ivory uses biblical allegory to map out our current End Times. With sleeve notes by Andy Sharp a.k.a The English Heretic.
Eurosleaze film composer by day, Nokuit has developed a distinctive cosmology over a mutating series of releases on underground labels including wannamarchi.club and NKT. Alongside Cut Hands (William Bennett of Whitehouse), he …
Inventions
Thumbing through the back pages of German electronic music, Bureau B uncovers another hidden gem from the Sky Records archive: 'Inventions', the 1983 collaboration between Adelbert von Deyen and Dieter Schütz. Fusing expansive kosmische textures with biting rock guitars, motorik rhythms, and the growl of '80s synth-pop, the duo conjure a sonic singularity which still sounds like the future today. Compact yet cosmic, 'Inventions' distils ambient drift and experimental edge into taut, three-minute…
Voyage
Bureau B once again dive into the Sky archive, unearthing another overlooked masterpiece long due for rediscovery. Originally released in 1985, 'Voyage' finds Dieter Schütz venturing beyond his Berlin School roots into a realm of lo-fi immediacy and New Age naivety. Every instrument is played by Schütz himself, except for the drums on "Above", which are performed with syncopated zeal by Michael Fecker. While its textured synthscapes and wistful melodies may echo the aesthetics of 2010s Vaporwave…
Ich Suche Dein Gesicht
Berlin-based project Silberstreif announces the release of their new album Ich suche dein Gesicht, available now on Bandcamp. With a name that translates to “silver lining,” Silberstreif crafts music that reflects both fragility and resilience, weaving together textures of ambient, electronic, and experimental sound.
Ich suche dein Gesicht (“I am searching for your face”) is more than an album: it is a sonic exploration of intimacy, distance, and the fleeting nature of human connection. Across…
