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…
Tryptykh
2002 release ** "The Belgian group Hybryds is one of the most unusual phenomena on the underground music scene. They have been around since the late 80s and combine the powerful primordial energy of prehistoric times with the post-industrial aesthetics of modern times. This is a dark ritual music performed mainly on acoustic and homemade instruments (gasoline drums, wooden armature, other various percussion, voice, field recordings made in different parts of the world) with limited use of synthe…

Bombolla
*100 copies limited release.* J.G.G. began making music under this name in 2013, after a dream in which he discovered a melody capable of bringing about the end of the world. That dream led to his first album, Intentos, released on cassette in 2014 and later on vinyl in 2015. He has since continued producing music and releasing it through his own label (Ediciones Populares), as well as through other labels in Spain (Discos Mascarpone, Discos Walden), in Europe (Cut Surface, Schamoni Musik, Tonal…

The Power of Eternal Love
*200 copies limited edition* Continuing the luminous path forged by his previous CD, “The Visions of a Dream Traveller”, Like the Snow returns to paint vast cinematic soundscapes that breathe with emotional depth, shifting seamlessly between disruptive, majestic crescendos with thunderous orchestral impact and more introspective passages of nocturnal intimacy. These darker, at times brooding atmospheres are delicately pierced by fleeting luminescent textures, gradually dissolving into serene amb…
Ever Expanding
*200 copies limited edition* "Ever Expanding" unfolds like a fissure in the continuity of the real. Each sonic fragment carries the memory of an archaic gesture, while also heralding a form yet to come. Nothing asserts itself, yet everything emerges with the gentle force of an apparition—unstable configurations that breathe in the space between the familiar and the elusive. The pieces overlap without collision: each remains distinct, yet surfaces within a shared field. What arises is a multiplic…
I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd
*200 copies limited edition* "I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is a concept album centered on the use of the voice. What shape does the voice take when conveying an emotion? The compositions in this work are made up almost exclusively of voices—an extensive spectrum of voices that sing, speak, whisper, processed through Auto-Tune, or emerge from WhatsApp messages, VSTs, analog and digital keyboards from the ’80s and ’90s, field recordings, and samples from films, TV, and Yo…
Fade, Remain
*200 copies limited edition* In its apparent bare simplicity, “Fade, Remain” is Iluiteq's most uncompromising and intimate album to date. Delving into the universal human condition of experiencing a loss and coping with a new phase of life, Iluiteq have released a new collaborative album, co-written with renowned Italian producer and musician Eraldo Bernocchi. The album juxtaposes the condition of “fading”, meant as leaving or departing, with the notion of “remaining”, either physically or spiri…
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*100 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…
The Grass Harp
*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* Aiko Takahashi is a Nova Gorica-based musician, a spirit that has released albums on various labels. Just like the line that separates the two cities where Aiko lives, Gorizia and Nova Gorica, divided between two countries yet united as one, Aiko’s music exists on a boundary. A line that separates silence from peculiar, almost imperceptible sounds. Too quiet to be Ambient, too Ambient to be Sound Art. Two years ago, after a first complete release on IIK…

Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes
2008 release ** Comes in a folded A2-poster sleeve.

The opening track is a highlight, as "Amsterdam 2 Uhr Nachts" is the first sign of life from…

Iron Molar / Peacemaker
2008 release ** Comes in a folded A5 cardboard sleeve. "Accompanying Iron Molar’s second step into noise hell is, like a diabolical Virgil, Peacemaker, a “noisy” project by the drummer of the already noisy Brutal Truth and Total Fucking Destruction. One piece for the Italians, three for the American. It’s a shame that the space reserved for our compatriots is so limited, because Là Dove Vita C’Era I Volti Sembran Teschi In Cera is an excellent piece, marked by a solemn martial beat, which deve…
Let Night Come On Bells End The Day
A quietly stunning meditation on sound and space, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day sees Sarah Davachi sculpting slow, luminous improvisations for Mellotron and organ. Each piece unfolds with patient restraint, revealing rich overtone complexity and a dreamlike sense of presence-minimalism at its most intimate and immersive
Broken Sounds Of A Dying Culture
2007 release ** Comes in a folded A5 cardboard sleeve. "The year is 1996 I was surfing on cold waves through the very heart of Linkopia, night after night it was all the same. Sleeping in the Karmanik basement seduced by delerium echoing between white concretwalls. I could hear the equiptment slowly disintegrating as I put out the light, broken sounds of a dying culture. This might be the erosion of history eternally scraping on the crown of mankind…or was it just the decline of my personal belo…
