2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **  月蝕 - lunar eclipse. The title is apt for a cassette that arrived in 1991, was heard by almost no one, and vanished almost entirely from the record. Vehiyd was a four-member noise and psychedelic band comprising 博子 on bass, 真由美 on drums, 界 on guitar, and Piaa on vocals - and this Vanilla Records cassette, single-sided and numbered in the label's characteristic manner, is the only recorded document the group left behind. The genre ta…

2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **  Nagoya produced a noise and improvisation scene that ran largely parallel to the Osaka-Tokyo axis - less documented, less exported, but no less intense. Dislocation was one of its legendary formations, a collective comprising Toyohiro Okazaki, Yoshimei Yanagawa, Keishi Kiyokawa, Fujio Kimura, and others, whose name appeared alongside Merzbow, C.C.C.C., Masonna, Monde Bruits, Solmania, Incapacitants, and Violent Onsen Geisha on the …

2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **  The name means "mercury lamp" - 水銀ランプ - and the industrial implications are entirely intentional. Suigin-Lamp was a trio: Kumiko Yamamoto on bass and sampler, Kazuhide Kawata on guitar, vocals, and sampler, and Kosei Yatani on violin and guitar. Flamenco Party, their only recording, was captured live at Shinjuku Ongakukan in April 1991 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - six tracks on a single-sided C62 cassette, number…

2026 stock, reduced price ** Comes in a snapcase with a numbered cassette has no label and a numbered j-card with different address stamp from 1st press. **  The most radical formal gesture in Shocks! Shocks! Shocks! is not any single noise burst or sample collision but the refusal - sustained across the entire cassette - to settle into a genre. Violent Onsen Geisha is Masaya Nakahara, a Tokyo-born artist who has described himself as someone with no musical talent, and who produced, precisely be…

On their self‑titled debut, Still House Plants capture a raw, one‑day snapshot of their early quartet chemistry: tape‑hazed grooves, off‑kilter song forms and fragile/feral vocals sketched live to reel, already hinting at the oblique intimacy they’d grow into.

In Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music (1990–2005), Arjan Rietveld traces trance from smoky backrooms to global main stages, charting how a marginal, emotional strain of dance music became a worldwide language of euphoria, melancholy and collective release.

On Mocomono, Hifiklub & Alain Johannes turn a two‑decade friendship into a glowing, slow‑burn suite: guitars, textures and voices dissolving into an ambient rock vapor where the Toulon collective’s restlessness meets Johannes’ desert‑honed lyricism.

On Extracellular, Hidden Horse, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, Johnny Richards & Dave King, Domotic, Revbjelde, Saïph, Oh Mr James, Secluded Bronte, Time Attendant, Etceteral, Dolly Dolly & Fogroom and Gong Girl plug into the “space between cells”, trading signals as pulsing electro, splintered jazz, industrial dub and spoken ritual fuse into a single, buzzing nervous system.

"I remember when at school on the last day of term, all the class would bring games in to play, but it always seemed that no one really knew the rules or could fathom out how to play some of them. However, a lot of the games had interesting artwork and fantastic layouts with all sorts of cards and paraphernalia, which I really enjoyed. Around the same time I received a magic set for Christmas. The packaging, images, type, colours on the box and instructions were wonderful. I would entertain memb…

"A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements" was born from a live performance at Germi in Milan, later transformed in the studio through Fender Rhodes and subtle ambient processing. The six pieces are sonic micro-landscapes built around minimal gestures — a leaf’s trace, a small current, a dim light, an almost invisible presence. The music doesn’t describe nature; it follows its processes. It changes slowly, transforms without noise, and remains in a state of attentive listening. The project is accomp…

Hot on the heels of the Tokyo bliss and Funk Tide sets, Tokyo-based DJ Notoya delivers Tokyo Pulse a new juicy selection of Funk and Modern soul recorded in Tokyo in the 70s and 80s. Most tracks here are making their debut outside of Japan and the album, like its predecessors, has been designed by Manuel Sepulveda (Optigram) and is annotated by DJ Notoya. The audio has been newly mastered in Tokyo by Nippon Columbia Records and remastered for vinyl by Colorsound in Paris.

The album explores the historical and practical union of experimental in-situ field recordings and industrial drone work in its rudimentary form, while also constructing a narrative of live, on-site cymbal play in the style of Eddie Prevost and David Jackman.  Putimt ku tuskaas draws a narrative of minimally intricate experimental field recordings and industrial drones while at the same time channeling a line of influence from the early 80’s French & Italian industrial movements and would not be…

Bossa Nova, which emerged from Brazil in the late 1950s, profoundly influenced French music, manifested by artists like Pierre Barouh and Georges Moustaki. This movement, known as Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB), reflected a blend of modernity and a lifestyle that was both cool and metaphysical. The sound attracted various musicians for its poetic essence, playful rhythms, and the American jazz-bossa and jazz-samba fusion. João Gilberto, a key figure in Bossa Nova, stated that its foundational s…

*100 copies limited edition* Salix is a bold new departure for modular synthesist Loula Yorke, seen here using an antique reed organ to explore the ancient roots of willow trees in magic, myth and medicine, as well as inviting another musician into her recording studio for the first time, clarinettist Charlotte Jolly. The EP forms a sonic archive of a singular instrument: an antique free reed organ left behind by a previous encumbent of Asylum Studios, (the artists' co-operative in Suffolk where…

The first song cycle collaboration by this new partnership is a highly adventurous and ambitious work, and one which explores a journey through dark places expressed in an improvisation-based language of strange sounds and textures, plus some unexpected left turns into electronic and choral music, before emerging from the woodland and into the morning light. I make a lot of records. In fact most years I release more albums than I make live performances. But this one is special to me in many ways…

*100 copies limited edition* Noise and Industrial Hardcore producer based in Turin. Owner of Bruit Sous Vide a label focused on extreme sounds. Rumor aimed at alienation and introspection.

Błoto has never cared much for dominant aesthetics. Instead, the band has consistently chosen paths less travelled, unexplored territories and uncharted routes where experimentation is not so much a conscious decision as a natural state of being. After years of a rather hermetic approach to recording their albums, the time for change has come. A trip to Bucharest and the opportunity to collaborate with the community of musicians associated with the underground label Future Nuggets, led by Ion D,…

On Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping, Derek Jarman reads his only known work of narrative fiction: a chromatic, psychosexual road‑fable in which a blind young king and his valet traverse a mythical America that feels like the seedbed of Jarman’s later alchemical cinema.

Adjustable Face, the newly formed duo of Milan-based musicians Marco Paltrinieri (Canti Magnetici, Granny Records) and Matteo Pennesi (Babau, Artetetra, {scope}), explores the intersection of glitch, ambient, and computer music through different composition and production strategies. Their debut album "Adjustable Phase", soon-to-be-released via Kohlhaas, was built through a process of editing, reassembling, and refining extended improvisation sessions recorded throughout 2024. Primarily based on…

Performed by Giovanni Di Domenico on a late autumn night in 2021 on the 2859-pipe organ (Giuseppe Zanin, 1970) at Chiesa di Stella Maris, Milano Marittima. Giovanni Di Domenico: pipe organ, Chiesa di Stella Maris, Milano Marittima, Italy, November 26th, 2021.

"tri-n-os" —stemming from the ancient Greek word θρήνος (thrínos) meaning lament, wail, mourn and cognate to Sanskrit ध्रणति (dhráṇati, “to sound”), Latin drēnsō (to cry, to murmur), and Old English drān (drone)— unfolds as a deep delve into the realm of improvisation, drone and feedback. A sonic exploration of the lament as an open process: unruly, fragmented, and recursive —not simply as emotional expression, but as a state of being and a resonant system. Drawing on the principles of cyberneti…

On Cafe Mirage, Satoshi & Makoto let their trademark hardware lyricism bloom into a quietly cinematic suite: refined electronica, ambient haze and soft‑focus groove tracing the contours of an imaginary café suspended between daydream and reality.

*200 copies limited edition* 'Meditation Music Beyond The Unsleeping Psychopathic Mind' — a raw, deep free-jazz exploration where synth, voice, saxophone, and percussion dissolve into a single, unfiltered sound world. No boundaries, no polish — just presence and freedom for sonic expression. Music spontaneously composed (improvised) by all members of the group. Recorded at Threshold Studios in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Produced by our good friend Devin Brahja Waldman and wrapped in hypnotic cov…

*250 copies limited edition* I don’t know how to describe myself as a musician, but I like to explore how sound events can create spatial arrangements in the mind and trigger proprioception… Or is it movement? This album collects and refines around four years of experiments and statements. Early work responded directly to the visual cosmology of Philippe Shewchenko, who created the cover art. The album title describes my attempts to process disparate influences through semi-improvisational compo…

*200 copies limited edition* The album was recorded in a small chapel of a monastery in the city center of Ghent. A chapel, by nature, is a place of contemplation and meditation, which inevitably influenced the music. Movements slow down, attention is sharpened and the overwhelming silence of the space becomes part of the music. Sound and silence are meticulously woven into each other. Even when the music grows at times dense and heavy, there is an ever-present sense of closeness and intimacy. T…

This is the first widely distributed release for Isabel Pine after a series of self released EP’s and singles on Bandcamp. She studied classical music on viola from the age of 3 through into college, where she was on a path to be a performer in a large ensemble, but eventually left after feeling frustrated and limited in a world that did not provide much of an outlet for individual creativity. But the doors of perception really opened when she moved to British Columbia and was exposed to the raw…

*2026 stock* The third studio album by Kuang Program, undoubtedly one of Seoul's most daring bands. Novelist Kang Hee-young introduces that this album, which betrays listeners' traditional expectations for 'rock', most faithfully reflects the musical direction that Kuang Program has pursued. This is the first release in 5 years, with new member Seo Kyungsoo. Mastering: Roc Jiménez de Cisneros of EVOL/ Helicopter Records

*100 copies limited edition* Trombe's fourth album, 'Bête Noire' (2026), is a tribute to all those wild boars that tear up the countryside, slaughter sheep, and are chased and killed by bizarrely clad figures in orange vests, armed with rifles... Beware of the line of cars parked in a herd along country roads, because they're there, prowling. Don't meet their gaze, or you'll be petrified... In fact, I know some people who had to change their mode of transport after a collision with the beast... …

In between being one of the most recorded studio drummers of all time, the beat-maestro extraordinaire Bernard Purdie squeezed in a few sessions of his own. Purdie Good! was recorded early in 1971 by legendary engineer and audio obsessive Rudy Van Gelder, at his bespoke studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and has all the quality hallmarks of that esteemed locale. Three Purdie-penned originals are balanced by three covers of hits-du-jour, utmost among them a blazing romp through James Brown’s…
