Northern Minimalism 4
Mat Handley returns to his South Yorkshire inspired Pulselovers project with a bold new chapter in the acclaimed Northern Minimalism series. What began as a deeply personal tribute to the region’s industrial, post-punk and synth-pop legacies has now evolved into a sprawling, 20-track remix project released via Castles in Space's new CD imprint, Lunar Module. The double CD includes remixes from a stellar cast of electronic artists: Aural Design, Apta, Pefkin, Grey Frequency/Blue Room, Sulk Rooms,…
Njurra Wänja
"The process of making music together in Hand to Earth is unlike any other we have experienced. It is not free improvisation but it is not composed either. It is somewhere in between, and it feels like ‘weaving.’ Through Hand to Earth, we weave the threads of our different histories, different lives, and different perspectives together, and become family. Daniel weaves the ‘Manikay’ (public songs) in his first language, Wagiläk - into the syntax of our shared practices. He talks about the ‘rak…
Moonbuilding Summer 2025 (How Did We Get Here?) (Magazine + CD)
Good lord, Moonbuilding Issue 6 has taken its sweet time. But don’t look at us, this handsome A5 zine has a mind of its own. Magic like this is out of our hands. Or as ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’ put it, “she comes when she comes”. But it’s here. Finally. And anyway, in the grand scheme it’s best not to ask how it’s happened, but how quickly you can get your hands on a copy.
So what have we got? Well, taking pole position on the cover of the Summer 2025 issue is the utterly unique Loula Yorke. In our b…

WVLT is the newest sonic addition from WNDFRM (Portland-based, Tim Westcott), an album of eight distinct explorations exploring the many facets of experimental IDM. Tim Westcott’s practice is rooted in an acute, nearly forensic attention to sound.

IX TAB
*100 copies limited edition* Ix Tab is an album dedicated to the mysterious Mayan deity, goddess of ropes and snares, and patroness of those who hang themselves.

Surface Disorder
Multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, and scene creator, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, has been releasing music under various guises for two decades.

Ever synthetic and digital, Uliel Saldanha's work-ethic never eases—having recently started a label of his own, Horror…
We Do Recover
We Do Recover, the new album from Powell and his first album proper on his own Diagonal Records, is a vitalising record of recovery and a statement of reassurance. The music is intensely emotional and lean, and forms a uniquely expressive story that opens up new ground in the artists's bizarre continuum of synthesised sound — this time triggered by experiences of grief and addiction.
The suicide of one of his life-long friends in 2024 was a life-changing loss which eternally altered Powell's lif…
Downriver
*50 copies limited edition* »Downriver« unfolds like a dérive through obscured geographies, echoing the psychogeographic journeys of Iain Sinclair. Just as Sinclair’s writing blurs the tangible and the imagined, Sequences, the project of Antwerp-based artist Niels Geybels, drifts into spaces where memory and environment overlap. Single-take recordings stretch into slowly mutating drones, fractured textures, and ghostlike voices that seem to seep in from unseen thresholds. The atmosphere is one o…

Demo
*50 copies limited edition* Orb Tapes is proud to present Demo, the debut offering from Castellar, a project whose sound sits at the intersection of shadowed atmospherics and raw sonic immediacy.

Recorded in limbo between exhaustion and tra…
Aeropsia
Steve Hauschildt returns after 6 years with a new album titled Aeropsia. After a transcontinental relocation from the US to Tbilisi, Georgia, the electronic composer emerges from a personal and global transformation to explore themes of perceptual distortion, disconnection, and renewal.
Aeropsia (which roughly translates as “seeing the air”) refers to a visual phenomenon in which objects appear to float or shimmer, often due to changes in pressure, perception, atmospheric shifts or neurological …
Carreira's Cross
*100 copies limited edition* Carreira's Cross emerges from three intense days of immersive creation and spontaneous interplay between the Portuguese duo Worksite & Workshop — Zé Quintino and Tiago Maduro — recorded on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of July, 2021.
