Massacre
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "The resulting music is an unearthly ever-shifting roar, sometimes identifiable as the product of guitar and saxophone but just as often not. Obrazeena’s guitar frequently starts out as an almost country-tinge…
A Profound Loss of Meaning, El Llamado
Two of the latest releases from Tochnit Aleph - Daniel Löwenbruck's project, for three decades one of the most radical and consistent spaces in the international experimental landscape, now operating from Denmark - that share a common obsession: soun…
A Profound Loss of Meaning
On A Profound Loss of Meaning, Alice Kemp braids twelve years of recording and composition into a slow, unnerving drift where trance states, dream images and tiny domestic hauntings coagulate into an intimate, disquieting cartography of unreason.
El Llamado (Der Aufruf)
On El Llamado (Der Aufruf), Mario de Vega distils a performative piece for dispersed voices and whistles into a stark, fixed composition, turning a global collection of wind instruments and a single outdoor activation into a study of call, place, and…
L’Oreille Voleuse
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, lis…
Smog
On Smog, Piero Umiliani weaves Italian cinematic cool, West Coast jazz and vocal chiaroscuro into a quietly devastating portrait of early‑60s Los Angeles, with Chet Baker and Helen Merrill tracing the city’s alienated glamour in smoke.
Motherland
On Motherland, The Visitors - brothers Earl and Carl Grubbs on alto and tenor saxophone - channel late Coltrane’s searching fire into a spiritual soul‑jazz ritual, all tenderness and incantation wrapped in a warm, analogue glow.
Tetragon
On Tetragon, Joe Henderson sharpens his post‑bop language to a diamond point, driving a powerhouse band through knotty tunes and reworked standards that already hint at the spiritual depths he’d soon explore more fully.
The Valley Of The Forgotten Secrets
LP. Limited edition. Black vinyl. RPG module booklet with map. The first HDK cassette sold two copies. Possibly three. Then, in the summer of 2017, something called Kobold knocked on the door of this Milanese DIY collective with The Cave of the Lost …
Big Beat From Badsville

In Transit

Stay Sick!

Into The Groove / Into The Grind
Recuperation and reinventing from Elements 2021/22 took quite a long time. Sustainability in writing long pieces became fully questionable. In the meantime, finding joy in creating small forms; powerful and groovy pieces became an obsession which cre…
Laputa
Laputa, a title taken from the fantastical floating island of Gulliver's Travels is aptly named as 'The album that never landed' for, apart from a limited touchdown in Japan, Laputa was never released. This mystical world is a summation of Yokota's j…
