Act Against War
This album emerged from a chance encounter at Casa del Popolo in Montreal during the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Over the years Tim Daisy and Stefan Christoff kept in touch and in 2023 started exchanging more seriously about working on some music together. The conversations and exchanges over the years had revolved around trying to find pathways for collective action in the arts to support movements against war.
Particularly the two discussed and collaborated on a global radio broadcast to cri…

Macchina Che Respira
Piero Fogliati’s “Macchina che respira” (1990) is a kinetic sculpture built entirely around the realization of the author’s artistic utopia: imbuing lifeless machinery with the rhythmic and self-sustaining process of an organism. It is an apparatus of ontological interrogation, positioned at the final, unstable boundary between the organic and the artifact. In “Macchina che respira”, the fundamental function of life -respiration- is translated into an industrial imperative, forcing the observer …

Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis
Aghast was a project by Nebelhexe and Nacht, released in 1994. This album was released back then by the legendary Cold Meat Industry. "Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis" is the real dark and gloomy ambiance played in a classical dark wave vein. Minimalism in musical content, compensated by spooky and ice-cold vocals that will haunt you. Macabre enchantresses will seduce you and take you to their ghastly realm. Hear gods cry and angels fall. Listen to horror and beauty. Let Aghast bewitch you! …
Ten Types Of Elsewhere
20+ year reissue of Mark Fell’s uniquely compelling debut solo album; a fascinating experimental playground for his ideas on topology, asymmetry, and spatiotemporal disruption, triggering one of modern electronic music’s most fanciful, radical, and peerless catalogues. Essential listening for anyone on the line from Autechre to Ikeda.
Deathgames
*150 copies limited edition* After the success of his debut 'Stealer' and the relative failure of his follow up 'The Great Tower', soon to be legendary director Mikkel Mannheimer needed a hit, eventually finding it in the now cult horror classic 'Deathgames'.
Set against the backdrop of a grimy, sleazy 1980s New York, Deathgames follows savant ex-profiler turned true crime writer Gil Wrexham, as he finds himself dug far too deep in an active case. At each turn the equally clever killer is slowly…
Fragmenter 2020/23
Ghostly industrial from One of my favorite local projects. 60 minutes of warm and dreamlike tape music. This recording is for me a perfect example of how music for magnetic tape can feel as organic as the vibrations of a string or the humming of a voice, when utilizing the flaws and unpredictability of tapes and tape machines.
Drilling a hole without realizing its consequences
Beautiful bedroom noise from Malmø, Carrying the Swedish tape noise torch forward. Stripped down and restrained, but with a lot of depth to be found in the textures. Philip, who is behind the project also does the amazing label Sinkhole Editions.
Country dreng country hund
One hour of exquisite microcassette manipulation from a great friend of the label. A free flowing audio diary documenting daily routines and primitive audio experiments. Some of the best tape murk to be produced on danish soil for many years.
Dried plum music for the grim reaper / gathering tiny traces
I’m very happy to present a split cassette of two of my favorite tape music artists from Denmark. A half hour of strange magnetic signals, unidentifiable voices, and all round textural bless. Too quiet to be noise, too gnarly to be ambient, but absolutely perfect for this label.
Great gestures
Ultra homemade brilliance from my friend Johannes. Four years of bedroom recordings edited down to a half hour of DIY perfection. Best pop record on the label for sure. The only pop record maybe but crazy good nonetheless.
Sounds Of The Modern Hospital
Death Is Not The End reissue Mark Vernon's sought-after 2013 collection Sounds of a Modern Hospital on vinyl & cassette formats. Whilst every effort has been made to record the subject in as great a degree of isolation as possible, the sound recordings you will hear on this record were made in a real working hospital and not under controlled conditions. Therefore, on occasion, you may hear some unavoidable background noise, conversations and other extraneous sounds.
All recordings were made by M…
Hope for Nothingness as Something
*75 copies limited edition* A two-chapter suite for modular & FM synth, wind & string instruments, electronics, sound objects and field recordings. The work is structured as a two-chapter descent from concrete score to analog & digital abstraction. It begins with the tangible written material and human presence of the performers, which are systematically subjected to a process of erosion. The initial components are reduced to "digital dust” — meaningless data fragments — then recombined algorith…
Piano Studies
*75 copies limited edition* Piano Studies is a set of pieces recorded on a salvaged piano body at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm. Using free-floating metal preparations and various mallets, these works use this alternative hammer escapement mechanism to coax a particular inharmonic resonance from its skeleton frame.
Aves de Nahá
*75 copies limited edition* Aves de Nahá is the result of an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge between anthropology, ornithology, and the Lacandon community of Nahá, Chiapas, México. It centers on the aural relationships between the Lacandon people and the birds of their jungle. The work invites us to listen to birds as sentient beings — creatures whose calls and songs announce shifts in weather and time cycles, accompany rituals, and participate in a shared environment where the jungle it…
Early Recordings 1991
Alan Michael Bloor was making experimental music before he started developing his now long-running harsh noise project Knurl. These recordings see Bloor using homemade instruments to create sounds that are like if John Carpenter was part of the 70s Berlin School gone lo-fi. All tracks recorded in October 1991, on the verge of harsh sound explorations that would soon become Knurl. Sourced from the original master tape in Bloor’s archive.
Juho Toivonen / Civilistjavel!
Double feature stint on Kashual Plastik. Twofold recreational Nordic spice, cultivated for dreamy solitude escapades and meditative tune voyages in witchcraft mood. Side A comes from Finnish experimental musician Juho Toivonen, shaped in his home in the city of Pori. A veiled minimalistic dream of gentle noise loops and environmental sounds, meeting a desiring voice that echoes haunting, mantra-like lyrics. Ship horns and other slow mechanic found sounds convoy it into eternity, while we, the au…
