Ananda Shankar and his Music
Mr Bongo proudly presents an official reissue of an iconic, exploratory album by Indian maestro of the sitar, Ananda Shankar, aptly titled 'Ananda Shankar And His Music'. Released on His Master's Voice in 1976, the album is a sublime collage of sitar-funk, traditional Indian classical music and psychedelic grooves, from the Indian sitarist, composer and musician. Nephew to India’s legendary sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, Ananda’s musical family and upbringing led to a deep respect and love of the …
This Is the Right Path
Tip! *350 copies limited edition* “ Dec. 2015: I received an invitation from Old Heaven to participate with FaUSt to the 3rd edition of “Tomorrow Festival” at B10 Live, Shenzhen, China! A few months later, May 2016, we were on our way to the most exciting concert experience. A loooong flight-haul and then, such a warm welcome, such a perfect organization… the most charming, dedicated, competent crew around us… the largest cement mixer I ever used on stage, and an audience so vibrant, so focused.…
New Environments & Rhythm Studies
New Environments & Rhythm Studies finds Andrew Pekler returning to the humid zones he explored on previous albums such as Sounds From Phantom Islands and Tristes Tropiques. Split between longer immersive compositions and shorter glimpse-like sketches, these 12 tracks feature new juxtapositions of Pekler's familiar palette of synthetic field recordings, warm, undulating electronic textures, shifting percussion patterns and serene melodies. As with much of his recent work, Pekler's compositions h…
Scilence
David Jackman / Organum unveils a new chapter in his exploration of monumental, shifting sound structures with this latest release on Die Stadt. Picking up where works like Flames of Fire left off, the artist continues his singular journey into the alchemy of resonance and time, crafting immersive experiences that hover between density and dissolution, weight and weightlessness. The first disc draws the listener in with the familiar Organum signature—a thick, metallic drone humming with harmonic…
Steadfast
This is the seventh and last release in the Die Stadt CD series. Even though David Jackman gets the credit in the title, the music itself is pure Organum electronics—dense, noisy, and exactly what fans would expect. Emerging as a meditative gesture within the long and enigmatic arc of David Jackman’s output, Steadfast stands as both a summation and a deepening of concerns that have occupied him for decades. Issued as a double CD by Die Stadt, the release captures Jackman—best known for his work …
The Magic City
According to many enthusiasts and scholars, this album is among Sun Ra's most definitive studio recordings. The Magic City contains just four tracks, with the title- theme taking up the whole of the A side at a little over 27 minutes. Then on the B side comes The Shadow World, followed by Abstract Eye and Abstract I, which are two variants of the same composition. These pieces are essentially ensemble improvisations recorded live.
Just Glittering/Idwal Fisher (Book)
Just Glittering and Idwal Fisher were two collaborative noise zines produced by Mark Wharton, featuring work by the genre’s finest exponents and fans. The first issues of Just Glittering appeared in the late 1990s, and the two zines went on to document a fertile decade of creative noise-making. Back then, you couldn’t walk past a pub in Leeds without hearing windows rattled by a passing Japanese noise artist or effects pedals looped into submission, whilst meat thermometers regularly disappeared…
Flames Of Fire
David Jackman (Organum) presents "Flames of Fire", a mesmerizing 47-minute composition titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The piece unfolds with a metallic hum, evoking the resonant vibrations of a sitar, before dissolving into vast, shimmering drones that stretch into infinity. Departing from his work as Organum Electronics, this recording embraces a more organic sound while retaining subtle electronic textures. A sinuous, undulating tone weaves through the composition, …
Interactive Pictures Vol. 2
*100 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* Stéréogramme returns with the second opus of his “Interactive Pictures” series.

Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Hé…
Antique Fantasia Vol. 4: Polonius 2
Tip! *50 copies limited edition* After introducing Babau for the inaugural cassette, the second installment of the sunitty focus showcases another contributor of the “Vapordub” V/A, with Egyptian Seif Gaber aka Polonius, dear friend of Artetetra, where he released the “Anaxia” and “Shades of Paradise” timeless yet time-bending cassettes (January and March 2019).

All The Gurls Were At The Women's Archo Ashinto
*50 copies limited edition.* “All The Gurls Were At The Women’s Archo Ashinto” is the new work by post-exoticist duo Babau, a project of Matteo Pennesi and Luigi Monteanni, both founders of Artetetra, a label and platform pursuing practice-based sound research on digital folklore and internet world music, which they term Quinto Mondo; a spin on Jon Hassel’s Fourth World. After releasing their own output on labels such as Discrepant, Communion and Artetetra and being selected as SHAPE+ alumni 202…
Live Excerpts
*100 copies limited edition* Long time no see dear Louis! Part of our 2019 inaugural BST001 V/A tape, Eiger Drums Propaganda returns today to Bamboo Shows with his “Live Excerpts” LP. Formerly a so-called collective, now happily unmasked as a schizophrenic one-man band, the French multi-instrumentist gathers here a collection of twelve acts recorded live. Not a proper album, nor a simple compilation, yet a real insight on Louis De La Gorce’s playful explorations over the past three years. Beyond…
La Croix Des Cros
*100 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Two years after the acclaimed ‘Darkos LP’, Jonquera is back to Charlieu’s surrounding vales for his second album on Bamboo Shows. Through ‘La Croix des Cros’, the French Musician delivers a loner-folk eclogue about the fantasized inner demons of a country dweller. Just like clay, audio recordings here are a malleable substance, slowly reworked over a year, following a sinuous production process where all mishaps are welcomed as breaches to step into.Far …
Coalyqsta
*75 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Have you ever wondered about liquid crystals’ consciousness? We bet you haven’t.

B.L.E.V.E
*50 copies limited edition* An industrial incident, a long live act, a four hands portrait. There comes the third opus of Meth.O.Tapes label catalogue, in a dense, deep fog. Following a first album out on Big Science Records, the duo Warzabart sets up a throbbing nightmare, a mental image of what a « BLEVE » is, namely a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion.

Yétèkpãnra
*60 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* There are nights carved like the journey of the dead out of the livings' daylight. Mert Seger brings to our senses a two steps ritual for this debut on Kump. « Yétèkpãnra », freely inspired by the funeral rites of the Batãmmariba of Togo and Benin depicted by Dominique Sewane, runs along with no clear beginning nor any end, a sound sketch where the shapeless rustle from the depths of the night meets a procession of artefacts. In this space where the dead …
A Typical Night In The Pit
300 copies. A Typical Night in the Pit is a collection of new music by Los Angeles' Nick Malkin. It is an album that finds the artist absorbed in the density and chaos of the urban complex. It is unquestionably an "LA album", but not the LA of hi-fi listening bars and twinkling, Instagram-ready new age. Rather, Malkin navigates something more akin to the LA found in the films of Robert Altman or Alan Rudolph -- overheated, tense, hazy, frayed -- with blue-lit, nocturnal compositions that at time…
Contemplative Figuration
300 copies limited edition With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coa…
