This album is not merely a meeting of musicians—it is a ritual of wood, metal, skin, and breath. A quiet spell that grows into an ecstatic dance. Embryo on Kryptox: a new chapter in an endless journey—shimmering, borderless, and open as the horizon itself. For more than five decades, Embryo has been moving between worlds. Founded in Munich in 1969, the internationally connected collective is not a conventional band but a living organism: Kraut rock dissolves into jazz, free improvisation merges …

Vocalist, producer and musical visionary Jimetta Rose announces the release of solo album MettaSun, via our dub label Day Dreamer. Inspired by the interplanetary mythologies of Sun Ra, MettaSun reimagines a selection of the cosmic jazz pioneer’s most iconic recordings through Jimetta’s unique lens – a powerful expression of the female imaginary and a positive vision of radical hope and Black joy amid the chaos of contemporary America. MettaSun is Jimetta Rose’s solo opus. Embracing the Sun Ra’s …

Outras Flores de Música (2026), ‘Other Flowers of Music’ is an album of contemporary Portuguese music dedicated exclusively to works written for the Portuguese historical organ, a unique national instrument from the 18th century. Here we find compositions by Bruno Gabirro, Diogo Alvim, Cláudio de Pina and Vítor Rua. Performed, recorded, edited, mastered and under the artistic direction of organist Cláudio de Pina. Outras Flores deMúsica takes its title from another collection of keyboard works, …

*2026 stock* The connection between these works is subtle. Nevertheless, there is an incessant search for a new sonic language, breaking an imposed norm of a secular legacy. The organ, an apparatus that is the sum total of wind, pipes and keys, becomes bigger with the imagination of those who operate it. It is a device that incites the audacity of its operator, rivalling the sonic potential of any modern instrument. This is my contribution: using a Portuguese organ that is over 200 years old in …

Reich's three string quartets on one record for the first time: Different Trains (1988), Triple Quartet (1998) and WTC 9/11 (2010), each setting the live quartet against tape. New readings by New York's Mivos Quartet, made with the composer's involvement.

The three albums Reich made for ECM between 1978 and 1982, reissued as facsimile sleeves in a card box: Music for 18 Musicians, the Octet / Music for a Large Ensemble / Violin Phase LP, and Tehillim. Cut all-analogue from the original tapes.

John Coltrane’s legacy defies boundaries—not only musical ones. From his early beginnings in Philadelphia to his final, urgent explorations of the unknown, Coltrane continually expanded the language of modern music, transforming the possibilities of the jazz saxophone and redefining the relationship between performer, composition, and spiritual expression. His playing was never merely virtuosic: it was a deeply personal force, capable of moving from the most delicate melodic statements to torren…

“Few bands in the history of jazz have reached the heights achieved by this group... The entire LP is fantastic. I cannot imagine being without it.” – Ralph J. Gleeson. These words perfectly capture the enduring power of Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet, a landmark recording by one of the greatest ensembles ever to shape the history of jazz. In the mid-1950s, the quintet brought together Miles Davis on trumpet, John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on double b…

*OBS, the book is in Dutch language only* Tijd voor een feestje: 2026 – 50 jaar punk en 30 jaar Het Gejuich Was Massaal, de geschiedenis van de punk in Nederland, 1976 tot 1982. Wat in 1996 al eindeloos lang geleden leek, is nu een eeuwigheid. Het oorspronkelijke boek was zwart-wit en had hier en daar best wat foutjes. In 2022 verscheen een 1-op-1-herdruk maar ook een Engelse vertaling met een sprankelend nieuw design, in full colour, met een uitgebreidere discografie met veel afbeeldingen en ee…

In 1984, Frans de Waard published Archive 1, a fanzine containing nothing but discographies of bands he liked: The Legendary Pink Dots, Nocturnal Emissions, Van Kaye + Ignit, Attrition, Esplendor Geometrico, DDAA, Konstruktivits, Portion Control, and P16.D4. At a time before the Internet, it was a much-valued resource for fans of these bands, although hopelessly out of date by today’s standards. Shortly afterwards, he published issue 2, with discographies of bands on the Insane Music label: Pseu…

A landmark of 1970s Turkish psychedelic funk, Zafer Dilek’s Oyun Havaları returns to vinyl 50 years after its original 1976 release on the legendary Yonca Müzik label.

Tom Penaguin returns with Tom Penaguin II, a compelling new album that expands on the sound, spirit, and identity established in his previous work. Confident yet exploratory, the record captures an artist moving forward without losing sight of what makes his music distinctive. Across the album, Tom Penaguin blends atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth into a collection of tracks that feels both intimate and expansive. Tom Penaguin II is a record shaped by contrasts: reflective moments meet bur…

The Kiila Feminist Archive Bibliography provides an annotation and contextualisation of works by founding members of the Finnish leftist anti-fascist writers’ group Kiila (wedge).  Still active today, Kiila was founded in 1936 with the explicit goal of being a counterforce to Finnish and European fascism, and increasing militarisation. The book focuses on the works of four women writers involved in Kiila, who were marginalised both by mainstream literary critics and their own male comrades withi…

Between 1970 and 1973 Soft Machine recorded five albums for CBS, and across those five records the band changed almost beyond recognition. Third still had Robert Wyatt singing on one side of it; by Seven there were no vocals, no Wyatt, no Elton Dean and no Hugh Hopper, and the group was playing a dense, written, riff-driven music that had more to do with Miles Davis's electric bands than with anything else coming out of England. This box follows that arc in detail. All five albums are here, rema…

*2026 stock* Alluvium, a collaborative project of Nika Kaiser and Nathan Stickel, uses a combination of composed and improvised video projection, field recordings, and experimental sound. They create performative installations responding to site-specific details within each of their works, drawing ties between the political and the spiritual. The geologic phenomenon of alluvium occurs when loose clay, silt, or sand has been deposited by running water in a streambed or floodplain for an impermane…

*2026 stock* Bolt of Void was sleeping in the dark, earthen soil for almost 7 years, and like the locust, the group emerged again, anew -- Gate is a wormhole, unlocked ceremonially -- A star-gate traversal that reaches terminal velocity and the feeling of moving forwards, backwards, and not at all become the same. Centered around extreme noise, drone clusters, and atonal portal jumping, the trio's dense sound is powered via three expanded lap steel guitars, bells, and resonant metal. Bolt Of Voi…

Trost Records is pleased to release Live at Kafé Hærverk, the latest transmission from one of the most exciƟng figures in European jazz, the Oslo-based Danish saxophonist and composer Amalie Dahl. Since dropping the debut album with her stellar quintet Dafnie in 2022, Dahl has enjoyed a meteoric rise, both in terms of acclaim and ambition. This new live album, taped at one of Oslo’s most beloved venues in March of 2025, arrives on the heels of the duly lauded Dafnie Extended—Live at Molde Jazz, …

** Edition of 150 ** Huerta Ensamble is a collaborative research project by Mexican artists Concepción Huerta and Daniela Huerta, dedicated to exploring sound through synthesis and magnetic tape experimentation. Their practice delves into tuning, electricity, spatiality, psychoacoustics, and the fundamental principles of sound, with live performances unfolding through improvisation and the dialogue unique to each setting.The album, "S∞S", treats sound as a living organism — alive with resonance,…

Bo Harwood (1946–2022) was one of those behind-the-scenes figures of American independent cinema: a self-taught musician, composer, sound editor, sound mixer and songwriter. Harwood started out as the lead singer and guitarist of a Southern California rock band before a chance meeting with John Cassavetes changed the course of his career. He scored his first feature, The Bach Train, in 1969, and later joined Husbands as an inexperienced assistant in the editing room. He gradually became Cassavet…

To be pierced is a process of change: what’s inside opens to what’s outside, and vice-versa. 'Pierced (June17th)' is a document of such a process, a series of reorientations following a rupture.

Massive, piercing, and raucous - deliberately raw and disorienting, "Noise" features tracks by musicians from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan: Torturing Nurse, Wang Changcun, Mei Zhiyong, Ronez, Wang Fujui, Orgasm Denial, Li Jianhong, Xu Cheng, Zafka, and more... Originally released in a small edition China-only 2CDR 15-track set (2012, Kwanyin Records), this new edition of "Noise" incorporates seven additional sets of works; 22 tracks in total. Scattered throughout, they feel entirely nat…

Ithā Sajā is an ode to dusk, dawn and what’s in between. Or, Ithā Sajā is a collection of piano recordings I made in my Berlin studio wal-Leil [by the night] is inspired by conversations with my friends Hend Alkahwaji and Wejdan Nassif during theatre rehearsals. wal-Leili [by the night II] is an imagined conversation with my friend Raman Khalaf. An homage to the jurjina rhythm found in folk music of northern Iraq and Mesopotamia. In wan-Najmi [by the star], one phrase repeats over and over with …

Swiss saxophonist Gilles Torrent may have been initially smitten by the sounds of US jazz giants like Coltrane, Shepp and Sanders, but as he’s developed and matured he’s cast his creative net much wider.  After teaching himself the sax at 21 he spent the next 11 years studying the concepts and innovations of Coltrane before moving on to take the next logical step - exploring and soaking up the many styles music from around the world, and incorporating them into his Coltranesque vision of jazz. A…

Music for New String Instruments, composed and performed by Allan Bryant. A pioneer of underground American electronic music, Bryant helped push the boundaries as a founder member of Musica Elettronica Viva alongside Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, and Richard Teitelbaum. Following his departure in 1968 he continued to independently compose, record, and archive live vintage MEV sets on his own IRML imprint until his death in 2019. During a period in the early to mid 1970s, Bryant channelled his …

Originally released by CRI in 1974 and now reissued on vinyl for the first time by Death Is Not The End, Music by Earle Brown is a concise overview of the composer's landmark early experiments with graphic notation, open form structures and magnetic tape.

DINTE reissues Charles Dodge’s 1976 LP collection of synthesised speech music, 1972-1975. Using mainframe computers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Dodge analysed and dismantled audio recordings of surrealist poetry by Mark Strand, mathematically and meticulously reconstructing them in synthetic form, resulting in these uncanny, landmark pieces that spearheaded early computer speech synthesis as a form for musical composition.

Almost Starlight is the extraordinary new album by Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin). Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a Medieval Church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the Summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space. The album defies categorisation; forced to pigeon hole it the nearest approximation would be ‘modern-classical’ but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo …

"Duets" is the first release by musician/composer Megan Alice Clune and artist/writer Rachel Schenberg, who in a series of collaborations explore the duet in several forms. Together they go to the Agora in Athens and find a pair of objects. One, in its shadow another of the same form. It prompts questions. They read it is well-known but little understood. Learn it uses water, that the ancient pair of objects are a kind of hydraulic timekeeper. They think of its sound, consider the possible struc…

A Colourful Storm's Fleetway Tapes series follows classic entries from Time Is Away, Vladimir Ivkovic, Felix K, Young Sparks and others with a heart-stopping selection put together by Berlin-based film journo Florence Scott-Anderton, a fathoms-deep, laser-focused mix that doesn't come around often, engulfing high-art/low-culture TV samples with a series of cues excavated from film - think of it as a sort of Blockbuster Video nostalgia-tinted answer to Time Is Away's flawless thematic mixes.

Over the better half of a decade, Time is Away, the London-based duo of Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, have made tender and heartfelt transmissions through countless mixes, sound works, live appearances and radio. Exploring deeply human themes of memory, persistence and resistance using an assemblage of source material, the duo’s unique mode of storytelling culminates in Ballads, a new suite of songs and, significantly, their first officially licensed compilation. From the opening notes of Horvi…

Cambridge-based improv collective Concrete Gazebo present their latest collection of open-hearted, quantum splice-downs, via Goldsmiths University label NX Records. "Acid Heath" documents the ebb and flow of a collective in flux; online and in-the-flesh improv sessions form the raw material to be welded into new and fantastic forms by the group's hive-mind. Instruments falling into the pot this time around include a heavily effected Harmonic Art Handpan, the Yamaha PortaSound PSS-50, live-trigge…

Ancient Future is a stop on an ongoing quest of sample creation, manipulation, recombination, and morphological transformation through the modular synthesizer. Densely interconnected sound matter moves between islands of respite in a sea of incomprehensibility, grasping but not yet arriving. The ancient future is a place. It is the meeting point between the light piercing through the dark, fragmented state of our present reality. This album is an attempt to materialize this place in sonic form.

Casebound 3CD with 28 page booklet, gathering the whole of Jon Hassell's final chapter: Listening To Pictures (2018), Seeing Through Sound (2020) and Music Is Invisible, a recording of his last ever concert, played in London in 2015 and unheard until now.

The Current Above - Immersion Seven embraces the sonic senses within a beautifully expansive 76-minute steady-state zone. Designed for infinite low-volume playback, the album’s sole track “The Current Above” continues the evolution of the long-form immersion series of intimate ambient recordings Steve began in the late-90s. The caress of slowly-unfolding cascades of shimmering textures and diaphanous atmospherics makes for the ideal soundworld for one’s habitat. It’s a delicate and nurturing env…

'Edge Conditions' is the new album by Chicago born and raised, longtime Los Angeles based composer, synthesist, and multi-media artist Jeremiah Chiu.
