I’m going to have to ask you to
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* One long composition for each side. Reminding me of an ultra-stretched version of the beautiful interplays on talktalk’s spirit of eden. Brittle percussive repetitions and muted trumpets slowly maneuvering into lovely tensions.
Compiled loops & experiments
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Tape loops, wind-up gramophone manipulations, and other audio fascinations. All of these sounds share the fact that they didn’t fit into any other release. Collected throughout 2024 and 2025, they were set aside on my harddrive. This is a documentation of scrap material, assembled in rough form.
Interview / Colony For Silence (Tape)
A crucial document from the experimental poetry underground emerges with this rare archival release. Side A features G.J. de Rook, the legendary Dutch concrete poet, in a revealing interview about sound poetry, conducted in Dutch but enriched with fascinating historic samples. Side B presents a rare sound piece by Takahashi Shohachiro, the enigmatic Japanese performance artist who bridged Beat poetry and experimental sound art.
G.J. de Rook (born 1942) stands as the undisputed pioneer of Dutch v…
Robotica
Tip! Mac is an Italian cosmic courier who has been accompanying our souls on deep interstellar journeys for many years.

The compositions of the album ROBOTICA date back to 1991. Mac retrieved them from space-time oblivion and re-recorded them in 2015.

Mysterious Guy Hardcore Junglist
*65 copies limited edition* New York's Chronowerx serves up a slab of jungle as refracted through Americanoise and Jerkbooth arguments on 'Mysterious Guy Hardcore Junglist,' No Holiday's first cassette release.

Reminiscences of Raktako: Huayno Guitar from Cuzco and Ayacucho, 1930-1940
Huayno has its roots in the Andes during the colonial era, when indigenous peoples began to blend their music with influences brought by European settlers. During this process the Spanish guitar naturally became very prevalent, incorporating the tunings, finger-style and rhythms of the traditional Andean harp along with it. The late Alberto Juscamaita Gastelú, known as Raktako, was a renowned guitarist, composer and mentor to generations of guitarists from his home in Ayacucho, southern Peruvian…

Staying (Leaving Records Aid to Artists Impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires)
"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis America’s darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7th—and which are still raging—are, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the city’s living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of w…
A Synonym for Repetition
""A Synonym for Repetition" weaves together a tapestry of parallels, all intricately linked to Japan. The project initiates with a collaboration with a Tokyo-based musician, which ultimately fails to materialise during Jason Kolar’s recent visit to the country. From an original approach that has to mutate in its starting phase, the record was conceived from the beginning to embody a sincere homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto, also a Tokyo native. Shaping ideas within the context of a city with a vibrant…

Birth Of Compulsion
*2025 stock* With an impressive discography tucked beneath his arms, JT Whitfield debuts on Strange Therapy. Confronting the relentless grip of human obsession and the struggle against its uncontrollable nature with his EP 'Birth of Compulsion'.
Taking over with a chaotic medley of sonic debris and unstoppable violence, like in guise thoughts and behavior that hide somewhere while feeding on you and your neurons. At times, it maintains a steady pace, but mostly it kicks, claps and shoots in a di…
Feathers
Pigeons fight the elements to reunite. Often dismissed, they carry with them stories of resilience, intelligence, and a longstanding companionship with humanity that dates back thousands of years.
Jonathan Baker and Benedikta Ársælsdóttir explore as a solemn promise an emotional state of feeling isolated and seeking comfort in each other, like pigeons gathering at your local square, with their EP ´feathers´. The duo creates a sound that’s vulnerable yet abrasive, combining sonic elements of indu…
