Agaeb El Rakasat El Sabaa - The Miracles Of The 7 Dances
Reissue of the belly dance holy-grail from the organ king of Cairo, combining traditional rhythms with spaced out modern sounds. Hany Mehanna, beloved musician and composer of the greatest artists from the Arab world such as Om Kalthoum and Abdel Halim Hafez, shows himself from a more experimental side on his solo albums. Originally released in 1973 on Cairo label Sout El Hob, Mehanna’s solo LP explored far more left-field terrain than on his other collaborations and film scores, ‘The Miracles o…
Enta Omri
“Enta Omri” is Om Kalsoum’s most famous song, composed by Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who is still rightly regarded as a prominent musician and composer in Egypt. The creation of this song was the first long expected collaboration of two musical giants, which came at the repeated urging of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser. There was talk in Egypt on the streets and in the media about what was believed to be a cold relationship between the two legends. Finally, after years of estrangement, Mohamed …
El Hob Kollo
Om Kalsoum! They call her ’The Rose of the Nile’, ‘The Queen of the Nile’, ‘The Daughter of the Nile’ or even ‘The 4th Pyramid of Egypt’ since she’s known as the greatest Egyptian singer of all times. Om Kalsoum’s mythical life story of a poor peasant girl who grew up to become the face of Egypt is a 20th-century fairytale. Almost half a decade after her death the power of her music and singing is still moving the hearts of millions of people worldwide.
At the end of her overwhelming career she …

Divora Eco
Nothing that Fera commits to tape can really be considered a stopgap affair, nothing is temporary, everything is bustling, committing is breathing. “Divora Eco” is Fera’s latest pursuit into the inbetween hours after night and before dawn, the simple sounds left ringing in the ear after days of feasts and noise, a quiet roar against division and an immersive view into intimacy and resistance through sound. Tossing away as much embellishment as possible, melodies unfurl into drones, drones rot in…
Laylat Hob
The rich and lengthy instrumental intro is just a precursor of the emotion present in this song. The talent of the composer is underlined by how he utilises the traditional style of singing poetry in a more open and creative way. Abdel Wahab’s infusing of long and groovy interludes with varied tonality, rhythmical patterns and an overall unique approach, carries Om Kalsoum’s powerful voice and brings the song to an incredible climax. In this way, he gives more colour and depth to the music and t…
Egg Shells II
*2026 stock* Egg Shells is a compilation series by the label Biardo Records. These compilations bring together various musicians and producers, blending different sounds and textures into a unified flow. The series isn’t tied to a specific genre — it primarily conveys a certain state and mood.
The second compilation turned out to be gothic, summery-contemplative, and warmly analog in both sound and spirit. Vocal and acoustic instrument samples, fourth world music, audio collage, loop deconstruct…
Strigiformes
*2026 stock* Concrete Colored Paint is the moniker of Peter Kris of German Army. On Strigiformes, he turns noise into a vessel for reflection—romantic yet raw, tracing the hidden processes of nature. These pieces are not built on beauty in a conventional sense, but on textured contact: the exploration of a sonic field through noise, where meditation arises from immersion and harmony behind it.
Released on Biardo Records, Strigiformes embodies our vision of music as a space that is immersive, spi…
Is It Really Goodbye? More Ryūkōka Recordings, 1929-1938
Exquisitely melancholy, pre-war Japanese Ryūkōka Recordings, 1929-1938, delving deeper into the style’s fusion of traditional and classical Japanese and western blues x jazz on Death Is Not The End.
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…

Experiments in Musique Concrete by Nippon Cultural Broadcasting

Now, for the first time, the long-lost broadcast recordings produced by the director of that era are being released!

Transalpine Sound Bridges (Munich-Milano)
A cooperation between the two protagonists had been announced for some time. The first musical collaboration as a duo on October 18th, 2025 in Munich was unfortunately cancelled due to unfortunate circumstances. Our alternative was for Sergio to send me 5 vibraphone solo pieces, to which I would communicate with a selection of my wind instruments. Some identical ‘basistapes’ are interpreted by me with different wind instruments.
Since a real encounter has not yet taken place, a virtual connectio…
Getting Personal
2024 was for me the year to look inwards and address in my work a couple of personal, somewhat uncomfortable subjects, something I wanted to do for a long time. This double-album is the result of this process. My deep gratitude goes to Benedikt Müller, Hans Martin Müller, Thomas Baerens, Csaba Kézér, Hermann-Christoph Müller, Stefan Deistler, Pavel Borodin, Erhard Hirt, Alex Minkin, Maciej Karlowski, Semafor and all the musicians who made it possible.
The fate of my grandfather was shared by cou…
Live Bahdu
Legendary saxophonist Don Dietrich and his powerhouse cellist daughter Camille Dietrich collide in Live Bahdu, a fierce musical union that music critic Byron Coley hails as “sheer wailing sonic pleasure.” Don, an untamed force who has spent over forty years shaping the explosive core of Borbetomagus, unleashes a volatile, lung-shaking roar, an unyielding take no prisoners wall of sound. Camille answers with her own ferocity, channeling raw, electric intensity through the disciplined edge of her …
Open Space
The (improvised) music is inspired (and structured) by the iconic book of Georges Perec from 1974 titled Espèces d’espaces. We designed a musical story following the chronology and the emotional evolution of the book. Music, too, generally needs a ‘void’ to move. It demands openness and, as such, is an invitation.
We Are. Profoundly. Predisposed. To Drowning.
The music of this trio is an ongoing conversation between three women about life as it unfolds between artistic practice and daily routines. Compassioned conversations about being someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s partner, someone’s friend seamlessly float into the musical sphere, where words and emotions are transformed into pitches, harmonies, rhythms and artistic gestures.
Three strong artists from the creative music scene of northern Europe has formed a trio that feeds from the…
A Far Within
A shimmering meeting of three fearless voices, this new recording invites cellist Isidora Edwards, violinist Biliana Voutchkova and Hardanger-d’amore virtuoso Zosha Warpeha into a luminous space of spontaneous creation. Intuitive improvisation and rare timbres intertwine to explore liminal sound-worlds where silence breathes and time suspends. The result: an immersive sonic journey that defies genre, yet feels deeply human and unbound.
