The Curse Has Been Lifted
*90 copies limited edition* Malfunctioning poltergeist. “Program repeats on both sides. So do you.”
Septic Trench
*80 copies limited edition* Slighly departing from the more primitive previous efforts, while keeping all the negativity and crudeness they reeked off - now closer to the Macronympha, Speculum Fight and Putrefier influences the artist aimed for. Disorienting, autophagic Harsh Noise.

Nastri Dimenticati
*93 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project unearths Nastri Dimenticati ("Forgotten Tapes"), a collection that bridges the project's original 1982-1992 incarnation with its 2016 revival. These rediscovered recordings showcase the raw experimentalism that defined Drago's teenage years, when toy instruments and primitive recording techniques created accidental masterpieces.
The cassette format returns these sounds to their original medium, emphasizing the materiality of magneti…

Home
“rat” is an electronic project born from the gutters of Brussels in 2024 by long-standing collaborators “neither” and “Milius.” After 15 years of hidden experiments they have been assembling a sonic language where glitch, ritualised circuitry and spectral noise merge. Their debut release "home" (Futura Resistenza) unfolds as a labyrinth of disjointed rhythms, haunted textures and fleeting moments that feel slightly out of time. Very little is known. All you can do is listen.

Pirateborg
For the first explorers, the Dark Caribbean was paradise. They had found only deserted islands and rich treasures. It was only when thousands left their overcrowded and corrupted homelands to colonize the islands that the Scourge appeared… Frightening screams echoed across the beaches, and from the night-black waves the undead rose. Terror spread like wildfire. First they came one at a time, then entire hordes, and soon the settlements were submerged by rivers of lifeless, nameless creatures. Po…

Kokai
Kishun is a duo: Ishikawa Ko, player of the shō (mouth-organ), and Nakamura Kahoru, player of the gaku-biwa (Japanese court lute). Since 2015 they have used only shō and biwa. Their idea is to bring out the hidden sound in what they call “gagaku without melody.”. Gagaku is the ancient court music of Japan. It is more than a thousand years old. In the Heian period, nobles gathered old songs and dances from Japan and pieces that had come from Korea and China between the 5th and 9th centuries, and …
Huys Opnamen
*50 copies limited edition* Venediktos Tempelboom is the alias of Gentenaar Benwa Meneers.

Deux Adresses Anciennes

A soft layer of lo-fi noise covers everything up like a thin and comfortable blanket. These are the nocturnal sounds that occupy the opening segment of ‘La Maison Forestière’ (The Forester's House). It seems the early dawning of the day, a moment of slowly waking up. The perfect moment for us, the listeners, to join this strangely familiar world of sound. Other percussive in…
