Bereft
Limited edition of 116. One-sided LP. In these times of double lives it happens fairly frequently that acquaintances from outside "the world of experimental music" send short video’s of all kinds of circus acts, people making music in a river, singing in a helicopter, their pets sounding like the intro of an 80’s hit, etcetera. Often these outings are sent in an ironic way, as often liked by us in a painful, deadly serious way. There must be thousands of video’s of Japanese percussionist Ryosuke…

Prison Of The Mind (LP)
** Limited edition of 400 copies ** De Nor (‘the can’, or prison, in comic book Dutch) is an open-air venue/sculpture/pavillion at the Middelheim Museum in Antwerp. During its inaugural summer, Elko Blijweert played a live concert there that left an indelible mark on those lucky enough to witness it. What exactly did he do, you ask? Well, Blijweert basicly used the entire garden as an instrument alongside an array of pre-programmed pedals, keyboards, drum machines, guitars, a mandoline, and booz…

** Limited edition of 300 copies. Includes an insert, download code and a UE sticker. ** Ōgon Batto is an exercise in patience; indeed, a model of restraint in these trying times. Although a fixture of the Belgian underground for over a decade (as part of the Hare Akedod label and band, the latter with DSR Lines’ David Edren), Bent Von Bent has released just two albums thus far. A scroll through ‘Browse’ reveals a series of miniature compositions — bite-size psychedelic treats, a sequence of im…

Eta Carinae
**Edition of 200 copies**Around the turn of the century, a psychedelic fellow from Argentina – Miguel Sosa – swapped the grass for the rainy streets of Antwerp. Miguel lived in the long-standing Villa Delfia squat and played classical acoustic guitar pieces on the street to earn the necessary survival dough, winding down with a sustained assault of endless Moog dreambient at home. In no time and seemingly out of nowhere, he’d become a weirdo fixture in town — and ten years later he vanished just…
RTVS 1981–2001 ...approximately
**250 copies** The connection with and love for Radio Centraal runs through Ultra Eczema’s veins. The Antwerp-based station has functioned as a voice for myriad local underground movements for nearly forty years. From its inception, architect and ex-Situationist Rudi Renson and restaurateur Roland Rom were a critical, hilarious, and provocative voice in its repertoire of weirdos, chiefly via the weekly RTVS (Radio & Television Salon) programme.Lots of 'music' was made within this show, largely e…
Pymp World
**250 copies** Frank Hurricane’s legend is such that many have heard his name years before hearing his music. Hurricane Frank, if you will, is the kind of character that can spin an audience into a psychedelic vortex that will have you yelping HOLY PYMP BREW repeatedly as you zigzag your way back home. His music possesses a nagging quality: a dizzying mix of scruffy rap, Casio tones and raw dictaphone poetry that sounds like it always existed in that quattro formaggi part of your mind. Originall…
The 4th Demention
** Edition of 300. Includes an insert with archival photos and a letter from Virgin Records on the cover** Plexi Gladz’s sole available recording — 1981’s Mind Control 7" — spawned a cult hit (Verveling [Boredom]) and over 35 years of intrigue. Who are these people? Rumours circulated that Jo Bogaert (of Technotronic fame) was involved; and artist Harald Thys. But not Siobhan Fahey. In a classic case of Chinese Whispers, Jo Bogaert turned out to be Brussels-based Paul Bogaert who together with J…

Up- And Downgrades Pt.1
For his first solo exhibition at Pinkie Bowtie, which ran between 15 April and 7 May this year, Dennis Tyfus has gone back to basics. Using the age-old tradition of the self-portrait, he draws a pathetic yet whimsical tale of daily life and the mundane annoyances that befall him. These inconsequential frustrations are offset by bright and poppy colours, resulting in a deceptively cheerful set of drawings, luring you in.This catalog ue collects all the drawings that were shown during the exhibiti…
Cannibal
When the hotel is empty before the fire alarm goes off , one could question the staff — or the band that emptied it. Cannibal like their ice - cream dark ; one of their members makes GG Allin look petite when visiting the restaurant, mixing it up with the restroom. This band is the result of a staff meeting between Detroit - based book beatnik, toy thief and original Destroy All Monsters member Cary Loren; Paris - based, Californian visual artist and member of Gobbler Cameron Jamie; and Bla…

Principium 2.1
years and years of summer whine, begging and massages, Remörk has finally committed to an LP! Remörk is the name under which Kris Delacourt hides his synth madness, home-made instruments and secret jewels; not just some squirky synth bubbles: we're talking huge wah wah glass pots driven by bike pedals, magnets that react to lightning whilst spinning around, deformed church organs etc.For this debut LP Remörk re-collaged the recordings of an installation he made with 12 vinyl records, six tu…
Summer Whine
A visual report of sorts, collecting 64 full-color drawings from the past six months or so by the legendary Dennis Tyfus.These drawings were intended as working sketches for paintings, though the latter never materialised. Instead, you can ponder what might've been in the privacy of your own home. This compendium of unrealised potential is offset printed and clad in a beautiful letterpress linen cover. Not much to whine about, after all."
Limited to 500 copies.
Het Lichte Lied
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN IN FLEMISH, A LANGUAGE ALMOST NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!!! Gerard Herman was invited by "VTI Brugge" (a school for offset printmaking) to create an artist book the students would have difficulties printing, or at least it should be "complicated" or something… Gerard in turn invited Dennis Tyfus, who was intensely reading the interview series "Die zomer van Tien Om Te Zien" written by Mathias Danneels for Primo Magazine. Together Gerard Herman and Dennis Tyfus disin…
