PQQQU
Comprised of several lost artefacts from The Haters heyday- PQQQU is not a reissue, but a full hour of previously unreleased recordings. Two tracks of studio material from an unreleased and thought to be lost cassette from the late 80s, paired with two live actions in Zürich on the same evening in October 1990, including the legendary "Building Empty Holes" performance featuring Joke Lanz and Rudolf Eb.Er. Audio mastered from cassette and VHS rips by Grant Richardson.
Monkey's Birthday
The collaboration between Anthony Moore and filmmaker David Larcher began in the late 60s, at the start of both their respective careers and lasted many years. Following on from last years release of the soundtrack to Mare’s Tail (the first collaboration with Larcher), this year sees the release of the soundtrack to his 2nd film, Monkey’s Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this 6 hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo …
Ali's Smile
This record is divided into two sections. The first part is the title track and takes up most of side one. Ali's Smile was first published in 1971 and was privately released as a one-sided LP, in an edition of 99 copies. It came in a plain sleeve with a hardback copy of the spoken text, and was sold exclusively through Unicorn Bookshop in Brighton, UK. Bill Butler, the bookshop owner, was still paying off a viciously punitive fine and associated court costs imposed in 1968 after a guilty verdict…
The Seddon Tapes: Volume 1
Numbered edition of 500 copies Comes with 8 page 12" booklet Thanks to Dan Wilson for the segues on side 2 Special thanks to Sandra Cross, Miles Champion and Ed Baxter. These recordings were collected by William English from the floor of Captain Seddon’s cottage shortly after he died and just before the building was demolished. Many other tapes were left behind. The only recordings he made were audio letters, diaries and most prolifically, his phone conversations. The 12 pieces on this LP were r…
Up Your Sleeve (LP)
** Edition of 500 copies with a numbered 4-page insert ** Previously released in 1980 on David Toop’s Quartz label at a time when improvised music in London was settling into a long spell of excellence. The players here are Steve Beresford, Peter Cusack, Terry Day and David Toop. Terry had been a member of The People Band in the 60s, one of the groups forming part of the first wave of British improvisation. The rest of the group could be regarded as pioneers of a second generation of improvisers…
Beyond the Black Crack
Paradigm Discs present a 40th anniversary vinyl reissue of Anal Magic And Rev. Dwight Frizzell's Beyond The Black Crack. It was originally released in mono, in an edition of 200 by Cavern Custom in 1976. Beyond the Black Crack was the concept of Reverend Dwight Frizzell, a musician, film maker, doctor of metaphysics and minister in the Universal Church of Life. Mentioned on the pivotal Nurse With Wound list, it remains a little known classic and one of the most unique listening experiences in mo…
Hrafnamynd
*2026 repress!!* Balmat 17 marks both a return and a new frontier. It is the second album on the label from Patricia Wolf, whose 2022 album See-Through is one of the most beloved in Balmat's catalog; it also marks the first time that Wolf has turned her hand to a film soundtrack. The results are every bit as magical as fans of the Portland, Oregon, composer's music might expect. Hrafnamynd--Icelandic for "raven film"--is a new feature-length documentary by experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Dave…
Dalok
*300 copies limited edition* Adela Mede & Štefan Szabó never set out to make an album. United by their Slovak-Hungarian heritage and a deep love for folk music, they initially started meeting weekly to sing... just sing. Both coming from very different musical backgrounds, each brought distinct characteristics and elements to the table. Over the course of roughly a year, they met almost weekly, each bringing Hungarian folk songs that they found on old vinyl records, scouring internet archives or…
Channel Some Angst
The first thing that should strike any attentive listener of Gary Mundy’s work as Kleistwahr is that this new collection of nine songs features drums on the opening two tracks. Combining a manic rhythm with searing white noise, a post-punk guitar chopping angular sounds like it belongs to the debut Banshees’ album, and despairing vocals, ‘Cold Blood Cold Night’ sets the tone for most of the album. While not every song is bound to this same pulverising beat at its core, there’s a lot of untamed n…
Quatre instantanés d'un tapeur à gages
Antoine Alcaraz is a French electroacoustic composer based in Paris whose work lies at the intersection of acousmatic composition, performance, and experimental sound practices. He specialized in electroacoustic composition in 2019 at the CRR de Paris, studying notably with Denis Dufour, and developed a compositional style informed by dialogue with poetry, the visual arts, and imagery. In 2024, he composed “Près de Nous,” an audiovisual piece adapted from a text by Virginia Woolf. Since Septembe…
Afterlife overdubs
*20 copies limited edition* This record wasn’t really planned. It all started when I(minereed) brought a cassette recorder and a single microphone to capture Tim Six’s live set at motto books Paris, just because it felt like a nice thing to do. Listening back later, I realised the tape had caught something special — the room, the imperfections, and a side of Tim’s music that felt more rhythmic than usual while still deeply meditative. What began as a simple mono recording slowly turned into some…
KWALK
Wah Wah Wino​'s Davy Kehoe, Morgan Buckley and Olmo are joined by avant legend Roger Doyle, among others, on a delectably brilliant, 54 minute collage teased together over the past 3 years. Dont miss this!!!!
Sold Out
Lighthouse
Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring’s return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin’s fractured texts conjure Folkestone’s haunted coastline—Vikings, the Morgawr, a fading Britain, the pull of the sea—under the sway of Alternative TV’s Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One), the mechanical vernaculars of Robert Ashley, and the deflated humor of Dad’s Army and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum. Opening the trio’s famed final phase…
Soft Power
*2026 repress!* Ezra Feinberg’s third album Soft Power sees the composer-guitarist enlist an impressive array of fellow musicians including Mary Lattimore, David Moore (Bing & Ruth), Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Robbie Lee and share the life affirming lead single ‘Future Sand’.  Defined by its abundance of melodies, repeating figures and ecstatic improvisations, Soft Power exudes an enlightened and transformative spirit to empower the listener. Feinberg, a practising psychoanalyst and former founding me…
Lines in the Sky
Gon Muruaga: Lines in the Sky. Music Shaped by Listening Some musical encounters begin long before the first note. Others begin in the instant of listening.
Hystérésis
*200 copies limited edition* In 2019, Jérôme Noetinger was invited to join the PIO (Prague Improvisation Orchestra) and there he met Petr Vrba. The chance of touring and musical excitement created this duo afterwards. Petr Vrba works with the trumpet in a very electroacoustic approach with microphones and effects, transforming the instrument into a real generator. Jérôme Noetinger plays magnetic loops on his Revox B77 to metamorphose the sound captured in the moment of its creation. Together the…
Arteries
*2026 stock. 30 copies limited edition* Swallowing The Seas was the "slow core" brainchild of musician and Fr33zehead co-owner Beanie Bhebhe, along side his bandmates Adam Coney, Leni White, Henry Bowers-Broadbent. The band was active between 2009 - 2012. The band made one EP before taking their hiatus in 2012, that never got released. We are proud to now finally bring you this EP on tape . Enjoy a piece of our history. Big love from Swallowing The Seas!
Light of my life
Ambient tape misery split.
Flowers Of Loneliness
Acoustic ambient from the headquarter. Late night recordings for sleepless recluses
multitudes I and II
This is a re-issue of Delphine Dora’s Multitudes I and II. these releases were originally made available in 2009 and 2013 respectively. Both releases are based on lyrics from Walt Whitman’s book Leaves Of Grass. I absolutely love these releases and I’m very happy and honored to be able to make them available on cassette. Eternal thanks to Delphine.
8. oktober 2026
Last year I invited my friend Frederik, who sings in Bending Backwards, plays piano in some different jazz projects and reads 100 books a year to come by my apartment and record a tape for Afvikling. This is what came out of it. A half hour of truly virtuous yet very weird piano and organ Music, with sounds of construction work echoing through the open windows. For me a prime example of why you sometimes just shall let the tape run and let the magic happen by itself.
All their feet leave the ground at the same time
For many years I’ve been obsessed with the music coming out of the small circle around the label The Catbox Corporation, Who has been putting out amazing music in relative obscurity for 25 years. I’m very happy to present the first recording of a new project by label owner Marc Kelaway and close collaborator Tanja Jessen. One hour of vast drone landscapes for guitar, organ and electronics. Sometimes reminiscent of projects like Family Underground or My Cat Is An Alien, but mostly a product of th…
Samlede fravær
Some recorded acoustic improvisations from musician/ ultra music nerd /library assistant /underground legend Nicklas Sørensen. Originally self released on bandcamp doing a transitional period in the artists life last year, now finally released on cassette. Soft and introverted hymns with quiet sounds of domestic life humming in the background.
Field recordings fra Amager
I’m very happy to present this cassette by my dear friend Martha Hviid. A sprawling and colorful collage of field recordings from Amager, A place many (especially those who live there) would call their favorite part of Copenhagen. When you listen to the tape, you definitely get the sense that adventure is always waiting for you just around the corner. Martha Mostly makes Visual art, but I hope she will make more music, or sound works, as I think she likes to call her recordings.
Bad poet
First physical release from mysterious local project Kirbs. I consider the digital Kirbs releases to be some of the last treasures of the Internet, so I’m very happy to present her music finally on a physical medium. 25 minutes of absolutely brilliant domestic computer music. Totally unique and completely unlike anything else i’ve heard.
søsterhøjeksperimentet
Sune T B Nielsen has been active for 30 years in the danish underground. He has played in many different experimental music constellations, and is one of the founding fathers behind the venue Mayhem, maybe the most important venue for danish experimental music in the last 15 years. So I’m very happy to release his first actual solo recording. This tape consists of around one and a half hour of prepared piano recordings, inspired by sci-fi books/movies and paranormal research. The tape has been i…
The Spectacle of Light Abductions 2 – Music for the Paintings of Vedran Kopljar
A sequel to 2011's communication from our future selves on 'The Spectacle of Light Abductions', this new endeavour by restless netherzone traveller Spencer Clark envisions a space map towards the other side of human life. A meditation on the paintings of Vedran Kopljar, these two side-long pieces, recorded and performed at Kopljar's exhibition at Muhka Museum in Antwerp in 2024, tap into the barren world inhabited by Clark while wandering what he calls the "Abomination Plateaus". Searching for m…
M/B/Too/4/T/&/M
Long before Spotify algorithmically ruined discovery, Joshua Burkett was wandering the New England underground with nothing but a guitar and enough patience to make tar smells feel like déjà vu. This compilation LP is your time machine back to when "knew someone who knew someone" was the only distribution network you needed.
Coaster Pine
*100 copies limited edition* Children of the forest play emotionally resonant hymns to the human experience. Coaster Pine offer 11 musical haiku each as contorted and beautiful as nature itself.
Dejing Dejing
*100 copies limited edition* 11 piano miniatures. Each a meditation on loss.
Pestmaskine
*115 copies limited edition* "Is the grime of gossipy society getting you down? True crime podcasts no longer greasing your gears? Then may I propose some not so quiet time with the latest offering from Heksehyl, Copenhagen's premier polymung, who is often seen skulking the streets around Mayhem with a squeegee in one hand and busted 4-track in the other. It's easy to get über glum when your favourite goblet has a dent so deep you wonder “what is the point?” but Mr Balslev has cooked up Pestmask…
The Vanity Project
Like a fractured reflection, images appear distorted and incomplete. A series of fragments revealing influences, methods, and decisions where life and work remain inseparable. Moving through the residual noise of contemporary media space, Christian Stadsgaard draws from social media remnants, dark web transmissions, and untreated human sound. These elements are processed through noise electronics and tape manipulation, collapsing source and signal. ’The Vanity Project’ is constructed as a dense,…
Talking in a Different Way
Talking in a Different Way is the debut full-length release of sachi’s mirror, the creative alias of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Shaina Pan. Melding disparate elements of ambient, electronic, dream-pop, and avant-garde classical, Pan beckons us into sonic worlds equally enigmatic and emotive. Across a collection of self-produced songs and vignettes that began to take form during a month-long residency in Vallejo, CA in the spring of 2025, she explores a theme of constant and qu…
Body Trip
Originally released in 2016 on Constellation Tatsu, Body Trip introduced Japanese ambient composer H. Takahashi’s quietly immersive approach to minimal electronic composition. Built from delicate synth tones, meditative repetition, and understated melodic movement, the album has become a lasting favorite within contemporary ambient circles. Over the past decade, Takahashi has developed an internationally respected body of work spanning releases such as Raum, Low Power, Escapism, Elegy, and Paleo…
Grandma Love
Setting aside the dread-soaked UK atmosphere of his Karkossyn moniker, Tavis Hitchcock introduces Grandma Love. In stark contrast to his previous work, Grandma Love welcomes listeners home for a warm, hearty stew just before the streetlights come on. Drawing from childhood nostalgia, Cornish summers, and family day trips, Hitchcock pulls the plug on a reservoir of mood and atmosphere that sits somewhere between post-club sofa lounging and early morning coffee mug steam. Following his appearance …
Torn Asunder: The Half Girl
*300 copies limited eidtion* Power Electronics, for the most part, stays within its lanes of transgressive misanthropy, with a blackened explosiveness of tortured psyches and nightmarish reflections for the darkest facets of the human condition. Since Whitehouse introduced the phrase, concept, and framework to Power Electronics, its authorship has been primarily male. But within the past decade or so, a diverse web of voices - female, feminist, non-binary, queer - has thrust the PE aesthetic bey…
Window Left Open
*300 copies limited edition* Keith Freund’s music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On “Window Left Open,” spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone lines rise above buzzing circuitry, percussion flickers at the edges of the frame, and clustered glitch textures dart through the music like insects in tall summer grass. Every sound feels vividly animated, a charged part of the same mercurial ecosyst…
Crónicas del Sol de Bambú
La Isla Borrego gathers fragments and echoes from the last few years. Based on an invented dream, this is not a composition, but a sediment; not a field recording, but an archive of mistreated memories. There is no map for La Isla Borrego. Instead, there is the architecture of an invented dream: an accumulation of acoustic residue shipwrecked on the conscious island of the last six years. Sounds are not emitted, but reflected and bounced. A catalogue of biographical errors; a series of echoes sa…
I'm On My Journey Home: Sacred Harp Singing, 1928-1934
Death Is Not The End, following their cassette reissue of Harry Smith's Anthology, present a collection of recordings of Sacred Harp singing (a traditional sacred choral music with origins in the American South) taken from the late 1920s through to the late 1930s. Necessary vinyl edition of Death is Not Final’s I’m On My Journey Home, Sacred Harp Singing, 1928-1934, a collection of recordings of Sacred Harp singing (a traditional sacred choral music with origins in the American South) taken from…
Bloque 6
“Bloque 6” (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career,  composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely …
