24-24 Music
Dinosaur L is an alias donned by Arthur Russell, a man whose contribution to dance music from the late seventies and through the eighties was formidable but only quietly acknowledged. His innovative and left field dance records were way ahead of what people were used to hearing at the time. He was a cellist who studied classical and Indian music. As well as his great strides in dance music he was also involved in the New York downtown avant-garde music scene and produced some albums in a …
Liminals
Artist and film-maker Jeremy Shaw’s 2017 work Liminals is presented by The Store x The Vinyl Factory in partnership with König Galerie at Store Studios from October 5 to December 10 2017.. Originally premiered at this year’s Venice Biennale, the 20-minute film is set against a 1970s cinema vérité aesthetic, and draws parallels between the experimental spiritual gatherings of the ’70s and the effect-laden release of contemporary hedonistic subcultures. It follows a group of 8 dancers as they enac…

Reality From Childhood Remembered as a Dream
Superb unreleased 80s ambient cassettes remastered. Robert Scott Pearson's music can be seen as surrealist, impressionist, post-industrial, mystical or avant-garde, but it goes beyond categories. His work embraces software, philosophy, poetry, visual arts, and generative algorithmic creation in general. At an early age, he began to experiment in this field, and released his first music privately on cassette, being part of the 80s undergound industrial scene in Seattle. Post-industrial, fut…
Hinosch EP
Electronic excursions from Düsseldorf/Osaka duo Hinosch (Koshiro Hino (YPY, Goat) and Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot, Schneider Kacirek). Four unruly studio tracks following the pair's collaborative live sets in Japan and Europe, pushing unsynced electronic instruments into knotted spaces of tape treatments. "Talent" offers swelling arpeggios that wobble over distant drums before playfully proceeding into the hiss and bliss of a pitched-down vocal drone, setting the tone for the EP to unf…
Matkormano
Original soundtrack to the movie Matkormano (centered around the alchemist Mage de Marsal or "Matkormano") produced by 529 Dragons and directed by Julien Louvet & Fabien. A beautiful, dark and foggy piece of music that we recommend you to listen especially at night, when the spirits are free to roam the endless roads of our soul-searching minds. Two longform interlinked titles of drone ambient. The movie, , was produced by 529 Dragons and directed by Julien Louvet & Fabien Rennet. "For fans of:…
Instantanes
Montreal stalwart Roger Tellier Craig (of Le Révélateur and Fly Pan Am) returns to Root Strata under his given name to offer a stunningly abstract pair of compositions indicating a severe departure from his earlier work. While Instantanés might at first evoke acousmatic and musique concrète traditions, the two side-long snapshots Roger presents feel far more spontaneous and rustic than those trappings might suggest, or as Luc Ferrari would say "a concrète music of the poor." A studied medi…
La boue ralentit le cercle
Chicaloyoh is Alice Dourlen’s solo project. Creating music between soundscape exploration and intimate contemplation, Chicaloyoh is a mix of guitar, keyboards and percussions from distant and various horizons. Chicaloyoh is a one woman band that will attract those who like the priestess singings of Inca Ore or Nico.
Il Pistolero Dell'Ave Maria
First 200 on Amber Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP, with poster. Presented on vinyl for the first time, here's the awesome score of one of the most ambitious spaghetti westerns ever, 'The Forgotten Pistolero' a.k.a. 'Il Pistolero Dell'Ave Maria' from 1969 by the duo comprised of Roberto Pregadio and Franco Micalizzi. With a title like this, you can probably already feel the music – a dark toned take on the spaghetti western sound of the time – served up with the kind of brood…
Untitled Noise
For the last hundred years, the line dividing music from visual art has grown increasingly obscure. Music has provided inspiration for countless artists, while art has offered the conceptual terms for music to break its own rules. Particularly within the contexts of punk, and experimental music, art schools have fed the ranks -- gifting countless rebellious and visionary minds. These are open worlds, between which positions and ideas freely meet and speak. Within it all, there lies an oft…
Beaute Des Mirages
Mysterious French outfit The Dead Mauriacs return to Discrepant in full exotic wind force after their sell-out cassette, Cocktails Pour La Fin Des Temps (2016). Beauté Des Mirages picks up on the same themes of frantic, abstract exotica and concrete cocktails the French act is known for. Running for two, long 18-minute sides full of fake(?) vintage atmospheres and armchair jungle hallucinations, Beauté Des Mirages is an abstract journey into a beautiful (and sometimes scary) world of mirages…
Sousoume Tamachek
Music for desert picnics. Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar delves into his more sensitive side with a minimal studio recording of dreamy ballads. Thumping calabash, droning guitars, and vocal overdubs evoke an imagined desert soundscape. All instruments and vocals performed by Mdou only, creating a very personal and auteur sessions. Emotive and introspective, exploring themes of religion, spirituality, and matters of the heart. After his underground success on the pirate mp3 networks of West Africa …
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974) Lp
Death Waltz Recording Company is proud to present a much needed re-press of this legendary soundtrack, featuring updated and expanded artwork by Luke Insect. Jorge Grau directed this classic zombie film in 1974, predating Dario Argento’s Suspiria by three years; you can’t help but think Goblin was inspired by Giuliano Sorgini’s score to Manchester Morgue when recording the Argento classic. Giuliano Sorgini fills his score with psych driven breaks, lush strings, pulsing electronics and ter…
Space 1999
Death Waltz Recording Co. is ecstatic to whisk you far into the future to the end of the 20th century with the truly out of this world Ennio Morricone score to Spazio 1999, starring the late, great Martin Landau. Produced by the legendary Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, the feature was constructed out of three episodes of the revered Space: 1999 television show to introduce Italian audiences to Commander Koenig and his crew, and thrilled audiences with nuclear explosions, parallel universes, a…
Apart
Apart is a mini-album containing a set of cello improvisations, conceived during days of solemn recording in the basement of an unused industrial space outside of Bern, Switzerland. Svarte Greiner on the recording process. "In autumn 2015 I was invited to perform and stay for a week 'residency' at the -- as it turned out one off -- Rebirth Festival in Bern, Switzerland. I was staying at an abandoned farm in the hills, half an hour outside the city with the group of young people responsibl…
Knive
Miasmah present a reissue of Svarte Greiner's debut album Knive, originally released on Type in 2006. 11 years since its inception, the surreal and darkly romantic Knive still sounds like a mystery and something that's hard to pin down. Svarte Greiner's debut album feels like a trip into the forest at midnight, with all the sounds and impressions that comes with it. Spiritual, horrific, and fragile in essence, its melancholic core is hard to shake off, and feels as present today as it did ba…
Entropien I
Pan Sonic's Ilpo Väisänen, Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) and Oren Ambarchi break down to the soul of noise with a new album dedicated to Mika Vainio. If you’re into Vainio, KTL or Ilpo’s brilliant solo work under his own name or as Liima / Piiri, this one's a doozy. Collectively, die Angel model a complex physicality through raw, elemental inputs, exploring a flux of reactive feedback processes and mutating, unstructured sonic states generated from crackling fusions of electronics, drums, elec…
Monk Style or Scream
Brought together in 2005 for a performance at San Francisco's venerable The Luggage Store Gallery, Anla Courtis and Thomas Dimuzio are introduced through the raw power of amplified music. Brothers in arms the duo remained in contact and in time began a recording project from afar. With a nod to classic cassette culture the distant combo exchanged source recordings with each artist concretely preparing a long-form work. The two tracks contained herein are a result of this collaboration.
