Seleya
Originally published by Tomlab in 2001, “Seleya” is the second full- length issued by Kristian Peters’ Novisad project. Twenty-four years after its initial release, the album’s thirteen loop-based arrangements continue to resonate with striking clarity. Keplar presents Seleya with a previously unreleased bonus track from 2004 and a fresh vinyl cut by Lupo.
These evocative miniatures feel haunted with the passage of time, bearing traces of the exploratory studio workflows, tactile imperfections, …
Even Toned
*30 copies limited edition* "The first time I heard about Takahiro Mukai was through the Err Rec label on which I had published 2 albums.I immediately liked his approach to sound, very pure and very close to the machine, to synthesizers. He seems to ignore the human by becoming one with the synthesis, his tracks do not have titles but numbers that are classified by their recording order. This may seem cold and soulless but it is in fact quite the opposite, because it is in symbiosis with his mac…
Two Butterflies Went Out At Noon
*50 copies limited edition* While taking a nap and it leads me into very, very deep paths of consciousness, transforming our paradoxical sleep into an accumulation of misty layers which sometimes offers clearings of pastoral dazzlement. We go back to the surface then we dive back. We cannot see at a meter like in a fog of physically palpable density which would have the power to transport us without moving.
Samuel says about his influences : I’m very influenced by film and visuals specifically. …

*200 copies limited edition* Stahlwerk 9 is a German post-industrial project that has existed since the 1990s. Its sound ranges from heavily distorted noise soundscapes and epic dark ambient to, especially in recent releases, more experimental electronic music. In contrast to many others in the 1990s scene, Stahlwerk 9 did not attempt to provoke with fascist aesthetics, but instead focused primarily on other historical and political themes. For example, the Russian Revolution of 1905, the French…
The flow of the river is ceaseless, and yet its water is never the same, while along the still pools foam floats, never stay long.

Wasteland
2005 release ** "After their debut MCD "New Death Order" Cyclotimia presents ten new tracks composed as a soundtrack for a decaying metropolis. Wasteland is packed of melancholy and epic moments with slow and intense compositions. Samples taken from television's channels and synths has been used to compose these tracks which merge industrial, classical and ambient music. If you love dense, dark and intimistic atmospheres try this one."
TimeBank
2009 release ** ""TimeBank" is a collection of exclusive compositions recorded by Cyclotimia in 2003-2007 and for some reasons left out of the main albums. The material presented here is hard to fit in the Procrustean bed of common musical styles, but we can try to list the ingredients from which this post-industrial "dish" was cooked: both cyber jazz and idm, neoclassics and trademark technological ambient, old-school electronics and atmospheric new age, experimental and many more can be found …
Sci-Fi Music (Soundtrack To A Nonexistent Movie)
2010 release ** "As the title suggests, the new work by Russian masters of electronic soundscapes represents a score to an imaginary sci-fi movie. The musicians call themselves admirers of old-school Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk genres, and for a long time they have felt a desire to make some music inspired by soundtracks of sci-fi blockbusters from 70-80-s... Spaceship battles, alien colonies, teleportation and mysterious droid ceremonies are only part of the images created by this music. The album conta…

The albums of these three units, Masonna, Christine 23 On…
Sounds For An Awesome Suspension
2008 release ** "Iron Molar, roots in the glorious HC of the 90s and present immersed in a noise that the CD artwork denounces as blatantly bastardnoisian. Luckily appearances can be deceiving and, I don't know if intentionally or not, their path takes roads far enough from the noisy rallies and rarefied panoramas of the Bastard Noise project, to face a middle way that is certainly not innovative but at least detached from too easy comparisons. In the tracks of Sounds For An Awesome Suspension …
Vox Humana (Inventing Forgotten Languages)
2015 release ** Featuring: Zuriñe F Gerenabarrena, Alberto Prezzati, Alice Calm, Yuka Nagamatsu, Martina Claussen, Livia Giovaninetti, Sergey Suhovik, Yang Siyu."To use the terminology of the neuroscientist Steven Brown, who has made a particular study of music, both music and language involve a limited repertoire of discrete building blocks, organised into phrases and higher-order structures using combinatorial rules. Put simply, both organise individual acoustic elements using a kind of gramma…
Star Rover - Troupe Asnimer & J.H. Burch
Easing further into 2025, following an amazing year that’s seen the release of killer LPs by Roberto Laneri, Lay Llamas, Zia Mohiuddin Dagar & Zia Fariduddin Dagar, David Edren, Klaus Wiese, and others, the always incredible Black Sweat returns with two absolute stunners: “Star Rover”, a never before issued, double LP archival recording made by Walter Maioli and John Zandijka sometime around 1984, and a stunning self-titled from JH Burch, made in collaboration with Troupe Asnimer, a Moroccan all…

2007 release ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies in special cardboard sleeve. Christian Galarreta: In his sound-based works uses broken electrical appliances, hand-made audiovisual instruments, field streamings and -recordings, feedback systems, the induction of errors in the software-hardware, and musical instruments. He researches and highlights the acoustic qualities of bodies and spaces, and transduces imperceptible physical phenomena to an audible dimension –as electromagnetic fi…
Playout
2007 release ** Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies. "The Infant Cycle is a project of the Canadian artist Jim DeJong working under this name since 1992. It may seem surprising, but all these 15 years he remained in the underground of experimental music, and his name is well-known only to inveterate enthusiasts and explorers of this strange phenomenon. The project has put out 6 full-length albums on cassettes and CD-Rs, several singles and an amazing series of minions called "Clear Shape…
The Echoes Of Thiiings / Fadiiing Echoes
2005 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Oversized cardboard sleeve. "The Echoes Of Thiiings is a work that is made up of compositions that span a very long period of time that reaches up to 2001, but the album is as homogeneous as ever. Suspended in mid-air on a faint borderline between the Autechrian glaciers of Amber and the Central European minimalism of Kompakt (Kaito, Ferenc, Closer Musik, etc.), the compositions of Sparkle In Grey float in a diaphanous, light melodism that moves ser…
Venite Visum
2025 stock Running Back welcomes Andreas Grosser for the start of it's non-dancefloor series "Running Back Incantations". Think Tornado Wallace's "Lonely Planet" or Suzanne Kraft's "Missum" who both would have been good and early contenders for a series like that, and you are half way there. Andres Grosser though, was "there" and that way before. Probably best-known for his 1987 collaboration "Babel" with Klaus Schulze, Grosser is a bit of a dark horse in the universe whose big bang was krautro…
Udarnik
2011 release ** "French soprano saxophonist Michel Doneda and Swiss accordionist Jonas Kocher are joined by Slovenians Tomaz Grom (double bass) and Tao G Vrhovec Sambolec (laptop) in four tight, tense improvisations recorded at the (DA)(NE)S Festival in Maribor. Kocher's squeezebox and Doneda's squeaks work together with near telepathic precision, while Grom's growls and Sambolec's grainy drizzle add depth and drama. Filling up what would otherwise be a rather short album, Giuseppe Ielasi's remi…
Bijù Bazar
A Principino whose body dissolves and recomposes perpetually, leads us inside an ancestral tunnel, layered like a bazaar, for just 21 minutes. At the stroke of the 18th minute the light goes off and comes on intermittently marked by the rhythm of Bingo Bongo. From the darkness crawls an ignoble spirit with stocky features with a guttural voice leads us astray to the gates of the gulf. The air suddenly becomes warm, the current dilates. The internal whistle of the bowels resounds from the deepest…
