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 !

Escale À Crux'ada
*2025 stock. 80 copies limited edition* Tarpass is a group of wandering troubadours. They never play the same songs because they don't remember them. Currently made up of two members, the team's aim is to grow. They are looking for mystical instruments and friends who are mad enough to play them, but above all to accompany the group on its adventures. In their search, Tarpass found themselves in the city of Cux'ada. In the sunshine, intoxicated by the altitude, they wandered the streets and rads…
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

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.

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

Surface
*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* "As the tracks are in connection with each other, please listen to the whole album, don't skip between tracks. I started recording "Surface" after finding an old picture of me.I had forgotten that particular period of my life. When I looked at that picture, time stopped, I was catapulted backwards in slow-motion flashback, as if I was lost between two parallel times.Then I tried to rebuild this specific moment with the tracks of this album. During the reco…
