Sensational Conversations
Bruno Tonisi's debut full-length, Sensational Conversations, presents itself as an artifact of impossible communication - a spectral dialogue between the Italian artist and legendary New York rapper Sensational that unfolds like an intercepted transmission from some parallel dimension. Released on lugar Alto, this singular work transforms what began as a gesture of contact into something far more enigmatic: a deconstructed hip-hop meditation that feels equal parts cosmic and street-level.

Winterspring/Summerfall
*400 copies limited edition* Perhaps his most luminous work to date, multi-instrumentalist Eelco Topper, also known as Felbm, presents a resounding and timeless suite in winterspring/summerfall. The work is a natural progression of his two latest solo feats, Elements of Nature and cycli infini, as it taps into nature and cyclical patterns while expanding upon these themes through the lens of Nijūshi-sekki, the Japanese 24-point seasonal system. Whilst reading a book about the Japanese tea ceremo…
mathematical model 0010
*300 copies limited edition* Drawing from field recordings collected during a trip to Japan, boring tables saturates sonic vignettes in sentimental key, replaying familiar traces of lived experience into something more abstract. The seven tracks on mathematical model 0010, Luca Quartarone's debut album, trail through evolving tonal expanses that envelop the environment in a perpetually expanding haze of serenity. Though sonic fragments hail from the everyday, the compositions themselves inevitab…
Ethio Jazz
2025, 180gram vinyl. The Ethio Jazz album by Mulatu Astatatke is a jewel of the modern Ethiopian music. Essential. An incredibly groovy Ethiopian record, originally from 1969-1972. Amazing orchestral 'Ethio-groove' filled with US soul, jazz, sometimes Latin and the deepest Eastern rhythms, even including some great nasty and dirty fuzz guitars. A true gem of Ethiopian modern instrumental music, which illustrates perfectly this symbiosis of strong rhythms and quality arrangements of subtle yet d…

Carboniferous
May 2025 Latest release on ICR. Rhythmic drone music? After running IC Studio for over 40 years I’ve accumulated a large store of recordings by both myself and the many people I’ve worked with. I was recently looking for some masters of another band on a hard drive, where I stored tracks that had been transferred from old digital tapes. I noticed the folder ‘Period Remixes’ which I decided to open, as I hadn’t listened to the material for many years. The tracks were remixes of Jonathan Coleclogh…
Tea Time
"If you think that the constellation of Nicholas Bussmann, Sven-Åke Johansson and Yan Jun is a sort of dream lineup, you are not far off the mark. The joint improvisations that you hear on tea time capture a sound that once came to Bussmann in a dream and that he made a reality with the help of his fellow musicians. The trio recorded the five pieces across two days at Johansson’s SÅJ studio with engineer Andrew Levine, working with Bussmann’s curious piano robot while Johansson was on percussion…
