New Arrivals
Paranormal Awakening
*200 copies limited edition* Ukrainian sound artist Tungu, a.k.a. Sergiy Senchuk, has long been operating in this domain and has a huge array of collaborations and solo work behind him, besides a background starting over two decades ago in metal and hardcore music. For over ten years now, however, he has been responsible for producing electronic music that draws from improvisation, abstract sound and electroacoustic composition. Paranormal Awakening catches him collaborating with equally prolifi…
I am Alien
London - and Berlin - based quartet Let Spin return with I Am Alien, their fifth album and first release with UK label Discus, marking a new chapter in the band’s evolution. Building on the momentum of 2022’s Thick As Thieves, the record is a continuous, shape-shifting work that thrives on tension and risk, collapsing the boundary between composition and improvisation while distilling over a decade of shared history into a fiercely unified listening experience.
Over more than 13 years of playing…
The Haunted House
Out on Leaving Records, The Haunted House is the latest EP from Los Angeles-based artist and musician Diva Dompé. Having spent the better part of two decades channeling otherworldly transmissions with projects including Yialmelic Frequencies, BlackBlack, and their current band, Diva and the Pearly Gates, Dompé returns with a deeply personal, unguarded song cycle firmly within the singer/songwriter idiom. The titular Haunted House is a memory palace of sorts—a portal to the densely-populated imag…
Zjumk / Yililok
*2026 stock* Yialmelic Frequencies is the therapeutic instrumental music from LA-based artist Diva Dompé channeled from her home planet Yialmel. Zjumk collects the instrumental layers Diva has created and archived at dublab.com for her monthly guided-meditation radio show “Yialmelic Transmissions” – this is the first album in a series of volumes from this reserve.
Jardim Elétrico
Jardim Elétrico (1971) is a vibrant and inventive entry in the Brazilian band Os Mutantes’ discography, marking the transition beyond the core Tropicália movement into a heavier, more experimental blend of psychedelic rock, Brazilian popular music, and early progressive influences. The album balances playful irreverence with darker, more electric textures, featuring distorted guitars, studio experimentation, layered vocal harmonies, and the charismatic interplay between Rita Lee, Arnaldo Baptist…
Embrace 2: Chains and Grain
On Embrace 2: Chains and Grain, Polwechsel distil their chamber‑improv logic into a score grown from their own playing: a tense, breathing matrix of repeated figures, frayed textures and in‑the‑moment reactions that is rebuilt afresh every time it’s performed.
Embrace 3: Magnetron / Quarz / Obsidian
On Embrace 3: Magnetron/Quarz/Obsidian, Polwechsel with Andrea Neumann turn acousmatic tape, simulated multitracks and graphic notation into an intricate laboratory of cause and effect, where elevator doors, room ghosts and painstakingly negotiated scores yield two of their most conceptually precise and sonically uncanny works.
Embrace 4: Orakelstücke / Aquin
On Embrace 4: Orakelstücke/Aquin, Polwechsel open their rigorously quiet universe to two singular composers, Peter Ablinger and Klaus Lang, yielding a diptych where struck objects, voices and long, glowing tones summon an almost liturgical sense of mystery from everyday sound.
Pianoply
This is my fourth solo piano release on this wonderful label. The studio’s Yamaha piano is an older darling, bless her, with an easy mechanism and unusual bright tone - lovely to play! It was also my first time recording at Sansom Studios in the West Midlands, some distance from Lancashire where we live. The album was recorded in a few hours and is in three sections. Two tea breaks divided the music in effect, no edits, completely improvised. I was curious about recording in a studio again, most…
Mostra/Punch
The innovative musical partnership of Tomo Katsurada and Misha Panfilov is set to captivate audiences with their latest 7-inch vinyl release, featuring the enchanting tracks “Mostra” and “Punch.” This double feature showcases their unique sound—a blend of intricate melodies and vibrant rhythms, pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
“Mostra” invites listeners into a world of sonic exploration, with its ethereal soundscapes and dynamic instrumentation. The track is a testament to Katsurada…
Psyché II
Psyché II is the sophomore album from the Neapolitan band formed by Marcello Giannini, Paolo Petrella, Andrea De Fazio, and Roberto Porzio. While their debut was rooted in the myths of the Mediterranean, Psyché II pushes beyond those borders. Here, the sea is a living, vibrant route connecting shores and cultures—from North Africa to Brazil, from the Middle East to Colombia.
The Mediterranean becomes a crossroads of different peoples, traditions, and sounds: cosmic jazz, desert blues, dub, Anat…
E.A.T.
Echo Libero is presenting a remastered version of the self-titled debut album by E.A.T., which was originally released in 1998. This forgotten experimental electronic music was ahead of its time when it was first released on CD in the late 90s. It was overlooked at the time, but it sounds more relevant than ever now. E.A.T. consists of members of the band Dunkelziffer, including the high-profile keyboardist Helmut Zerlett and progressive drummer Reiner Linke. The group also features Boris Polons…
XIBIPIIO. In And Out Of Experience
A singular work of deep sonic exploration returns, now unveiled in a definitive vinyl edition.
Pequeño clima doméstico
*100 copies limited edition* The Buenos Aires–based producer’s second album on Umor Rex can be read on at least two levels. The most direct traces its origin to the influence of environmental music, as well as to some pioneers of electronic music. The album was recorded in a single session, making extensive use of loops that were later edited and condensed into the six pieces that make up Pequeño clima doméstico. This working method responds to a playful approach that runs through Entidad Animad…
Past/Present 2025 Compilation
*2026 repress. 100 copies limited edition* Past Inside the Present proudly presents the Past/Present 2025 Compilation, a celebration of the label’s artists and their creative output over the past year. This collection features a series of new, unreleased pieces from artists who released albums throughout 2025, capturing the spirit and diversity that defined the label’s catalogue during this period. Accompanying these exclusive works is a stunning continuous mix by Los Angeles artist Inquiri (Lac…
Jirai Wo Fundara Sayounara
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Compilation, Numbered **
Jirai Wo Fundara Sayounara - translating, with characteristic Japanoise black humor, as something close to "Goodbye if you step on a landmine" - is one of the essential compilation documents from the Vanilla Records catalog, gathering the label's core artists into a single tape and offering a compressed portrait of the underground it had quietly built since 1985.
To understand the Vanilla Records compilations is to understand how Ja…
Live Materials 1980-1993
2026 stock, reduced price. A thirteen-year archive compressed into a single cassette. Live Materials 1980-1993 by Nord traces the arc of a project that stretches back to the earliest years of Japanese experimental electronics - years before Japanoise had a name, before Vanilla Records existed, before most of the artists who would define the scene in the late 1980s had begun recording.
The breadth of the timeline captured here is significant. 1980 is contemporaneous with the earliest industrial a…
呪術装置
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
Among the more enigmatic entries in the Vanilla Records catalog - and one of the rarest. 藤圭子's ダーク・ポップ is a cassette about which almost nothing has been committed to public record, which is itself a kind of document: the extreme scarcity of information surrounding certain Vanilla releases is inseparable from the conditions under which the label operated, pressing in tiny numbered editions for an audience of a few hundred at most, …
Extreme Gospel Nights
2026 stock, reduced price **Clear cassette case, 4-panel J-card stamped with the label info on the inner side. **
The most radical act of any art is the refusal to aestheticize. Incapacitants have held that refusal for over four decades, and Extreme Gospel Nights - a cassette recorded live at Gospel in Tokyo in 1993 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - remains one of the most uncompromising statements of that position.
Toshiji Mikawa formed Incapacitants in Osaka in 1981 as a solo pr…
