Nite Closures EP
Mark Fell inaugurates his new label - The National Centre for Mark Fell Studies - with his first solo electronic material in years; a slinky, ravishing volley of unique dance drills that have been in the works for over a decade, feeling somehow like Derek Bailey dissecting Singeli, or Autechre and Hermeto Pascoal dancing in hyperspace. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Back on the ‘floor for the first time since dealing a pair of deep house 12”s with DJ Sprinkles, sending a contemporary classi…
Bone of Contention
Eric Random is a cult figure of the British electronic scene and one of the true pioneers of post-punk electronica. Born in 1961 and growing up in Manchester, Random was drawn to music through his older siblings and was given a guitar by his father. In 1978, he joined Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks and drummer Francis Cookson to form The Tiller Boys, an experimental trio that debuted supporting Joy Division at Manchester’s Factory Club. The band’s brief existence ended in October 1979. After the gro…
Everyone I Love Is Sleeping And I Love Them So So Much
Yara Asmar’s new album, “everyone I love is sleeping and I love them so so much”, presents 11 pieces recorded over the past year between the small town of Alfred in upstate New York and Beirut. These sometimes fragile and tentative sound sketches reflect the times as Yara steps out, as if onto ice, into a new life on a new continent. She works with unfamiliar instruments, new materials and new sounds to build on her intimate style; homemade mechanical music boxes and a personal archive of family…

For Bugonia, Fendrix has crafted a soundscape brimming with sweeping strings, bold brass, thundering per…
Star Trail
In Star Trail, José Luis Hurtado sculpts a luminous universe of sound—music that resembles light itself: expanding, reflecting, distorting. Through multilayered “parametric counterpoint,” space triumphs over time, revealing textures that shimmer between structure and spontaneity. Each work—Electric Dust, The Untitled 3S, In the Space of Time, Mutual Gravity, and the title piece Star Trail—unfolds as a sound installation of infinite possibilities, where every gesture refracts into new meaning. Bo…
Sounds, Archaeologies
Sounds, Archaeologies brings together works by Isabel Mundry that understand listening as an active, participatory process. Arising from the experience of a transformed acoustic environment, the composer opens her music to a dialogue with history, material, and cultural grounding. In the title piece for basset horn, violoncello, and piano, Mundry excavates the “sediments of our musical history” – sound becomes an archaeological find linking past and present. Balancing reflection and intuition, s…
Naturstudium III
In Naturstudium III, Luis Tabuenca, together with Les Percussions de Strasbourg, explores the sonic worlds of the Baschet sound sculptures—resonant bodies of metal, glass, and wood that oscillate between instrument and architecture. From their dialogue emerges a new musical grammar and hybrid notation that seeks to capture the fleeting nature of these resonances. Recorded by Neu Records in immersive sound, Naturstudium III is more than documentation: it is a spatial experience of vibration, reve…
Revolutions
David First’s “Revolutions” is a large scale, long duration exploration of the drone.
Mongolian Chant
Super rare Japanese original by bassist Isao Suzuki. Much in demeand by collectors and original issue copies sell for $$$!
Dusty groove says: "A really inventive little record from Japanese bassist Isao Suzuki -- and a set that, like most of his best 70s work, really defies any sort of easy categorization! Suzuki's got a wonderfully wide range of ideas running through his music -- at one level a really close-up and personal interprtation of the bass that makes for some beatiful solos (including …
ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts
ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts marks Varg2TM back in collaboration with Chatline, an enigmatic figure long in orbit of Northern Electronics. Recorded live to tape, the record resists comfort. Contained within are two harrowing demonstrations that drag on emptiness, anxiety, and abject pleasure. And though terse and severe, that very void becomes the vessel for its mottled meaning.
Unopen to exploration, 'ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts' locks the listener into its own saturated atmosphere. Stripped back …
Everyday Infrasound In An Uncertain World
*300 copies limited edition* Even though you can’t hear it, infrasound fills the air. And because the atmosphere doesn’t absorb it like regular sound, infrasound comes from hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. If humans could perceive frequencies lower than 20 Hz, then changing ocean currents, wildfires, turbines, receding glaciers, industrial HVACs, superstorms, and other geophysical and anthropogenic sources from across the planet would be part of the quotidian soundscape of our lives, w…
Moon Blood
There are very few albums in the psych/punk/hard rock/private presses strata that garner the sort of universal awe and accolades that Fraction’s almighty Moonblood LP does, and even fewer records in the world that could be dubbed ‘Christian Rock’ incur such fierce devotion. Indeed some records just meteorically lift themselves out any genre tag with brilliance and sheer defiance--and Moonblood is surely one of them.
Based in LA, Fraction was a ragged collection of working-class musicians--the li…
The Siwnin Sails
"The Siwnin Sails" is a solo album consisting of eight songs written and composed by Shoko Numao, an emerging Japanese singer-songwriter. Numao studied vocal and composition focusing on jazz at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland, where she trained to use her voice as an instrument, exploring the expressive possibilities of the voice and laying the foundation for her current approach. Since returning to Japan in 2021, she has been based in Tokyo, performing her own songs, both in collabora…
For 10 Musicians
Samuel Reinhard returns to elsewhere music with “For 10 Musicians,” a four-part ensemble piece recorded in 2025 at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
Gorgeous nothings
Laura Cetilia's cello works evoke the sense of crossing the threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of a space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances conjure a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into a vast and profound world that is uniquely Cetilia's own. 'gorgeous nothings' is an album of three pieces composed by Cetilia, …
Survol à basse altitude
Third album by the Jérémie Ternoy Trio, Survol à basse altitude (“Low-Altitude Flight”) extends the story of a group that, for over twenty years, has moved beyond the well-trodden paths. Away from noise, effects, and speed, the trio continues its quest for clarity, balance, and meaning. Around Jérémie Ternoy (piano, compositions), Nicolas Mahieux (double bass), and Charles Duytschaever (drums), an open space for dialogue takes shape — one where listening drives everything, where each sound finds…
