Trollpietra
For some time now, a strange music has been resonating in HDK's headquarters; a music where dungeon-synth, house and techno rave meet in a blasphemous yet juicy cocktail... The caves of the Trollpietra are a sordid and unhealthy place, inhabited by creatures of the night and strange homeless spirits. Trollpietra caves were once the laboratory of a mad herbalist who distilled magical potions which he sold in the county black market. Before dying, the mad herbalist hid his most incredible and dang…
Flourescent Standard
*100 copies limited edition* On ‘Fluorescent Standard,’ guitarist Anthony Vine and clarinetist Gareth Davis present two luminous and serene worlds of harmonic sound. The duo entwine sustained tones, glowing with the resonant hues of their instruments, into enveloping and expansive atmospheres. Clarinet sonorities, swelling guitar chords, and tumbling elegiac piano fragments drift quietly through time in elusive cycles that subtly change and expand with each return. Every vibration is interconnec…
Wenge
Wenge, pronounced /wen-gee/, is a legume tree native to the forests of Congo, Zaire, Gabon, Cameroon, and the southern regions of Tanzania and Mozambique. Some of its indigenous names are dikela, mibotu, bokonge, and awong. It is a hard and heavy dark-colored wood used for musicalinstruments, like guitars, flutes, drums and balaphones, which we play on the recordings. The name struck us as an apt metaphor for resiliency, stability, durability, and the sonic resonance we bring you on this release…

From The Thaw
*50 copies limited edition* Mangled surf-rock samples and washed-up suds of everyday oddities define Shallow Buoy, the newest release from remote duo Stumped. Consisting of Berlin-based Page Swanson and Pennsylvania-confined Adam Buffington, Stumped strain field recordings and borrowed sounds through various analogue and electronic processes, resulting in a sonic puree that's never stodgy.
The Caesarean Operation, 1973
Limited 80 copies, numbered. Legendary 1973 recordings by the sound artist Yoichi Niisato. The cassette tape recorder played an important role in Niisato's unusual works - as the recording of his footsteps in a subway car - through a cicle of works titles 'Research' that were subsequently described in his autobiographical book, Story, which was published in 1982. "The break is over, and I put on my work clothes. Don’t be cool. The hands that hold a drill are singing. There is a feeling of cold,…
...It Is Death.
A true gem of modern power electronics, with a vision and a personal touch and not just another boring rehash or real cheap version of the classics, as you can mostly find in recent years, especially when centered around such eternal themes. Absolute pinnacle in the art of Mike Golen, definitely not a new name that you should also know for his contribution to bands such as Sea Of Shit, Paucities and Winters In Osaka. ''A grim exploration of death, depression and confronting one's own mortality. …
Lascivious Progression
Mexican dark sleaze at its finest. No cheap stuff here, but a long running obsession, deep explorations and knowledge. From the mind behind Sodomy from Beyond, Hiroshima Dust, Sangre and Muerte Violenta publications etc.
Like Straw and Meaningless
Cría Cuervos is the personal project of our old pal Eugenio Maggi, active since the 90s, and one of the most discreet, elusive, meaningful participants to 'the scene' that come to my mind when I think about ''italian underground''. ''Like Straw and Meaningless'' continues his new phase started with ''Bovarism'' on JDV moving from dark / ambient territories to a more stripped down yet atmospheric form of harsh noise. First copies come with a sticker.

Metal
*65 copies limited edition.* There is not many other duo's on czech free improv / noise scene such as these two. Klamm & Pelikan. They are something like Durman / Posejpal for generation X. Working together since 2011, but probably much longer. This is Discogs knowledge speaking. They are navigating themselves through the wastelands of tones that nobody wants to hear. Ever. Manipulated guitar, tape loops combined with alt sax and clarinet and hallucinating voices. Sometimes the offering consists…
BO
*120 copies limited edition.* "I'm on a jet ski. The river I'm on is dirty. Not like it was clean before, but there was some rain up north and now the mud got in the stream. Bunch of birds are hanging out on the piece of driftwood. The splash of dirty water from jet ski disturbs them from their limbo. They fly away, they squeal with displeasure. This river is all mine. Rain starts pouring. Jet ski is on full speed now, spitting the brown mud water out. Sound of a collapsing engine brings the jet…

T.O.
"Last time we heard the powerhouse duo of Chris Shields (Marcel du Swamp, Ro) and Alexander Holm (Sensorisk Verden label boss), they called an audience member during the show on a homemade telephone while shaking dice, giving each other unidentified signs and cues, and presenting their special flavor of musique concrete. Voice, tape, synth (?). Beautiful sound. New record is bonkers" - L. Dusk.
Hailstone Temple

Both musicians have fascinated Notice Recordings for quite a while, and both exhibit deep relationships with their instruments: flute and viola, respectively. Ángeles originally caught our attention via the TVL …
Losing your bearings in the middle of the day
*Limited Edition* A genuine diary of simple music elements, a minimalistic painting, but then you drop the paint can. Colors start to melt and shapes lose their boundaries, you fight to maintain focus on a single element but your eyes (ears) have lost their bearings. Beginnings that seem to end, loops that open up to make room for new inner paths. Sounds that resurface in a sonic illusion. "Losing your bearings in the middle of the day" is 40’ suite that was played with a sense of bewilderment, …
