Double Beat Sequencer Vol.2
Double Beat Sequencer Vol.2 continues Merzbow’s deep dive into a particularly vicious corner of his archive: mid‑2010s sessions built around a relentless “double beat” framework, then buried under signature torrents of noise. Where Vol.1 sketched the template - rigid sequencer patterns hammered into shape and then abused - this instalment feels even more single‑minded. A handful of cycling pulses become the spine for entire pieces, driven by a strict, mechanical insistence that Masami Akita trea…
Double Beat Sequencer Vol.1
Double Beat Sequencer Vol.1 finds Merzbow threading a hard, skeletal pulse through the heart of his noise, treating rhythm less as a scaffold for genre than as another engine of excess. Across these tracks, fixed and cycling beats - the “double” sequences of the title - form blunt, looping structures that Masami Akita subjects to his typical barrage of distortion, feedback, metallic scree and feral electronics. The result is not noise suddenly tamed, but rhythm subjected to the same merciless tr…

Geometry of Murder: Extra Capsular Extraction Inversions
On Geometry of Murder: Extra Capsular Extraction Inversions, Earth x Black Noi$e stretch the 1991 debut into an even slower, more vaporised continuum, where Carlson’s primordial drones are rerouted through modern electronics into a smeared, time‑dilated echo of the original.
Béke
**3rd pressing with letterpressed insert** “Peace is not the word to play” rapped Large Professor on Main Source’s 1991 debut album. His plea to stop abusing the word “peace” simply for rhetoric flair sounds just as valid in today’s genocidal world as it did in the streets of New York over 30 years ago. For Oiro Pena to name this album Béke, meaning peace in Hungarian – or white people in French Caribbean creole – it seems like they finally have something to say. With this group/concept/project …
Repetitive Music vol. 1
On Repetitive Music vol. 1, Misha Panfilov strips things back to synth and piano, threading slow‑turning patterns and hushed harmonies through Tallinn and its outskirts like illuminated loops traced in winter air.
Batiscafo
**2026 Repress, includes facsimile artwork and extensive liner notes. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. **Munster Records presents a reissue of Batiscafo by Gregorio Paniagua.

Batiscafo is one of these elusive treasures. First released in 1980 on the label Hispavo…
This Heat
"There's an irony inherent in the term 'postpunk.' Many of the groups that define the genre (think Pere Ubu or Cabaret Voltaire) existed for several years before punk. But these outfits had little hope of finding an audience until punk stirred up an appetite for the extreme, while also spawning a new breed of independent labels that could support challenging music. " This Heat are a prime example. Formed in early 1976 by drummer Charles Hayward, guitarist Charles Bullen and 'non-musician' Garet…
Hubris
** 2026 Repress ** First released in 2016 and long out of print, Hubris has come to feel like a pivot in Oren Ambarchi’s catalogue - the moment when his fascination with groove, repetition and ensemble friction finally detonated into something both overwhelming and weirdly precise. This new edition gives that record the sonic treatment it always deserved. Working from the original mixes, mastering engineer Joe Talia revisits the album with what can only be called forensic care, teasing out layer…
Silence: Lectures and Writings (Book)
John Cage (1912-1992) was an American composer, philosopher, poet, music theorist, artist, printmaker and amateur mycologist. He is arguably the most influential composer of the mid-twentieth century. He dedicated himself to the search for new horizons in musical composition. His method of composition: an amalgam of chance operations, latitude in performace, the use of electronic sound and the inclusion of ambient noise. His aim: to increase the territory of his art and to celebrate the richness…
Space Age Batchelor Pad Music: The Story Of Stereolab In 20 Songs (Book)
Stereolab are one of the most fascinating groups of the past fifty years, a source of constant reinvention and illuminating contrasts, where political ideology meets the sweetest pop melodies and driving guitars rub along with space-age jazz. They are perhaps the greatest Anglo-French collaboration since Concorde: a hugely respected, highly influential group whose fan base grows larger by the year, stretching from chart-topping hip hop artists to underground indie stars. And yet their appeal rem…

Ste Cy
Ste Cy, the latest studio offering from the trio of Jac Berrocal, Vincent Epplay, and Timo van Luijk, ripens like a forbidden fruit—born of an improvised instrumental session captured in the secluded hush of Kulta Saha by Timo van Luijk.These raw recordings were later reshaped into 12 songs by Vincent Epplay at Studio Villejuif in Paris. And over it all drifts the poetry of Jac Berrocal - sensual and incendiary, seeping into the music like spice into flesh.
LP includes recto/verso insert with ly…
40 Days of Silence
* Lucky restock, few available! * The threshold between field recording and composed music, between documentary and pure abstraction - 40 Days Of Silence occupies that narrow and precise territory which only the most rigorous practitioners of sound art dare to inhabit.
Jacob Kirkegaard belongs to a generation of Scandinavian artists - alongside figures like CM von Hauswolff, Thomas Köner, and Helge Sten - for whom sound is neither decoration nor effect, but a means of confronting otherwise unrea…

Sanctioned Departures
On Sanctioned Departures, William Selman lets two rainforests - Pacific Northwest and Costa Rica - compose themselves, braiding tidal lagoons, primates, saunas and street sweepers into humid, borderless environments where categories dissolve like shorelines under floodwater.
Sumatra Method
On Sumatra Method, Émile Zener (aka Gunnar Haslam) rebuilds 1950s–60s Indonesia as a haunted acoustic system, where Cold War proxy battles, propaganda and terror flicker through unstable drones, VHS detritus and spliced testimonies.
