Live at Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali
Live At Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali sees Grischa Lichtenberger transfigure a forty-minute set into a tactile, visual, and kinetic experience. Industrial clangor, mechanical pulses, and fleeting ambience merge, sculpted with rigor. Issued by Hermit Records as a collector’s vinyl, it stands at the edge between noise, rhythm, and abstraction
Antología 2 : Obras para la Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos
Buh Records presents Anthology 2: Works for the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments, a double album that deepens the exploration of the work of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio (La Paz, 1955) and his inseparable bond with the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments (OEIN), the project he co-founded in 1980 and of which he is now emeritus director. Like Anthology 1, widely praised by the international music press, this second installment continues to reveal the conceptual, aesthet…
Electric Voyeur / Moonlight, Again
*300 copies limited edition* Big Blood, the intrepid voyagers into the outer reaches of hallucinatory noise-rock and eclectic freakadelia opt for a new path along the circuit board of creativity. Electric Voyeur was made by applying strict limitations using home-made electronic instruments and voice alone. The result is an album that is as trippy as it is devotional in its exquisite craftsmanship. The glorious scent of solder and silicon wafts all over this music. Crafted over the course of ten …
Silver
Debut album from Irrflug, the Berlin-based project of Mark Kanak. Irrflug is a changing artist group rather than a fixed band. In Silver it's comprising Ian King, BoBo (Christiane Hebold) and Ella Sturmvogel and some others. 2 tracks feature Blixa Bargeld's voice. Silver extends Sähkö vocabulary into new directions. "rhythmic studies of corroded atmospheres" says Mark Kanak
Never Say When
Following the success of the CD reissue in early 2025, a limited edition LP of this classic compilation album originally released by Gary Mundy's renowned Broken Flag imprint in 1987 follows in March/April 2026. Remastered by Puppy38, this also features two bonus tracks not included on the original (and long o/p) LP but only previously found on the even rarer cassette and now included here as a bonus 7". A timely reminder of this fantastic archive document full of boundary-pushing artists mostly…
The Blues of the Indian Ocean
The islands of the Indian Ocean witnessed a rapid and chaotic mixing of cultures: Africans kidnapped from different regions of the continent, the indentured labourers from Africa and India and settlers from the Middle East and China. The infinite creativity of humans confronted with the hardship of colonial capitalist reality gave rise to a new form of music that – just like creole language – had not existed before. New instruments were created: the ravann – a form of frame drum, and the maravan…
Abacomancy
Abacomancy (defined as "a form of divination based on the interpretation of the patterns in dust, dirt, silt, or sand") is the first record by the duo of Derek Monypeny and Kevin Corcoran. Monypeny and Corcoran have a decades-long personal and musical relationship; they played in the free-improv trio DMPH with the late tenor saxophonist Chad Stockdale, who released a 7-inch on Stockdale's Weird Forest label in 2010.
Abacomancy is the result of a one-day recording session in Monypeny's adopted to…
Ritual of Light
"Ritual of Light" is the first full length from Descending Pharaohs. Recorded in mid-2022, it marks the band in its first year as a trio with a sound that is mainly implemented by the conventions of guitar, bass, and drums and enhanced by rich textures created by Turkish saz-baglama, greek tzoura, and oud as well as drone-driven electronics. Their influences run deep in the realms of 70s electric Arabic/Anatolian, spiritual jazz, and krautrock, but they project these influences towards a modern …
Oozetones / Fleshscapes
While this album was written and completed in early 2022 the work here reflects about a decade's worth of developing a unique approach to improvising, super-imposition, and sound engineering as a method of constantly shifting and expanding composition. In many ways this work is the logical conclusion of the desire for, and searching after, a certain sound and feeling, which I believe is present here.... ...The ooze is all encompassing. The ooze moves across and through all things. The ooze is ac…
TAQATO3
Violinist Mike Khoury came together with Sharif Sehnaoui (guitar, percussion, bouzouki) and Raed Yassin (bass) to create some very natural and organic improvised music during the Irtijal Festival in 2018. Khoury said, “the three of us had an instant connection with a common understood language that predated all of us.” The music was not a part of a festival performance but a sparate effort by the three musicians. Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall…
Live at Space Mountain
Fellahin is a violin, wind and percussion format for violinist Mike Khoury. He has assembled this instrumental grouping several times under that moniker.

Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer/choreographer Leyya Tawil and as a member of The Northwoods Improvisers, Porcelain Hammer, The Redford Ci…
Born For Years
Porcelain Hammer formed in 2018 for the purpose of expanding the direction of Ben Miller's multiphonic guitar work into a full ensemble. This new direction in Miller's music is the melding of art, psych, world and no-wave with lyrical hypnagogia.
Miller played guitar in Sproton Layer with brothers Roger and Laurence (1969-71), The Fourth World Quartet (1975), Destroy All Monsters with Ron Asheton and Michael Davis (1977-78), the avant-power trio Nonfiction (1982-85), Chicago's Dirty Old Man Riv…
Drueling
After a year of inter-continental correspondence, Turner Williams Jr. and Derek Monypeny crossed paths in the Spring of 2023. Derek was touring in Europe, playing solo sets with his electric shahi baaja, an instrumental obsession shared by Turner. Turner invited Derek down to Marseille for a session in his aerial basement studio overlooking the city. The result was the first shahi baaja duet for either musician. Spontaneous Mars music in the shadow of enormous transmission towers, pylône electri…
Beams Boy

The Berchem Tapes (May 1976)
*150 copies limited edition* The Belgian free jazz scene of the early 1970s remains criminally under-documented. While Fred Van Hove's participation in the legendary Machine Gun sessions (1968) with Peter Brötzmann, Han Bennink, and Evan Parker placed Antwerp on the international map, a wild ecosystem of temporary combos and performative madness flourished in the shadows. The WIM (Werkgroep Improviserende Musici) collective - founded in 1972 after Van Hove and saxophonist Cel Overberghe refused…

The result is a collection not just of music but of moments that inte…
Elf Bagatellen
The historical importance, influence, and stature of the Schlippenbach Trio was cemented long ago. Formed in 1970 by German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early days of European free jazz, the group also featured British saxophonist Evan Parker and German drummer Paul Lovens, and soon formed the core of the mighty Globe Unity Orchestra from that point on. As heard on its 1972 debut for FMP Pakistani Pomade - reissued by Cien Fuegos back in 2015 - its foundational music helped establi…
