New Arrivals
Elyria Sound
On Elyria Sound, Michael A. Muller reduces his language to one guitar, one room, one storm‑lit reel of tape, turning newly invented tunings into a hushed cycle of lullabies and laments that hold both the comfort of home and the certainty of its passing.
Lila
*40 copies limited edition* On Lila, his debut LP, Moroccan artist Karim presents a series of undulating electronic rhythms laser-etched into tessellated form: drumless techno from the pre-Sahara, built for communal psychic expansion. Drumless, yes, but not percussionless. There are shakers, castanets, stabs, plonks, thuds. There are insistent basslines propelling forward, pulsing with energy, rippling in time. There are tones interlocking, rolling, fluttering, pattering. Dancing within, around,…
Escapist
With its second release, Fleur Sauvage stays true to its opening premise: no calculated moves, no outside logic, only work that could not reasonably exist anywhere else. Daniel[i] has been part of the La Nature and NoName fabric for years, as co-curator, resident, and crew, one of those people whose presence shapes a space long before a set begins. This album is the natural continuation of that relationship, extended now into a more permanent form. Where FS001 captured the charge of a live momen…
Language Of Colours
Multicast Dynamics aka Samuel van Dijk presents Language of Colours. A substantial set of vibrant, cinematic tracks that mark the first release on Language of Colours - an sonic imprint dedicated to conceptual electronic music. "Language of Colours" features 11 detailed tracks covering a wide range of sounds: organic ambient, reduced downtempo beats, lush soundscapes, and experimental drones.
Caetano Veloso
*Back in print ! 2026 repress* "The Tropicalia art movement of the late 1960s, with flourishes in visual art, poetry, theatre and music, is one of Brazil's most adored cultural concoctions. It was a movement which began out of necessity, shortly after a repressive military dictatorship seized power after 20 years of peaceful democracy. The term Tropicalia first came from the mind of Brazilian visual artist Helio Oiticica, whose eponymous piece consisted of a sandy maze bordered by tropical Brazi…
Remarkable records of a resistless course
Tip! *Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Fen Hollen takes a deep plunge into idiosyncratic samplelooping and poorly done reamping techniques. Small fragments of songs merging with chaotic instrumentals and weird microcassette malfunctions.
Exactement
*2026 repress* Souffle Continu records is thrilled to present Byard Lancaster – Exactement, one of his 4 legendary albums released on Jef Gilson’s Palm Records in the 1970s. At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, Byard Lancaster met some feisty friends: Sonny Sharrock, Dave Burrell and Ted Daniel. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared on Sunny Murray Quintet, recorded under the leadership of the drum c…
Akvoturo
*265 copies limited edition* With Akvoturo, Kohoutek is delving into a more experimental form of their brand of US psych/space jams, a loose concept album sonically examining the consequential role that water has played in nascent civilizations, starting from our ancestral habitats. The title is in Esperanto, in theory a language as universal to humanity as water is to its diet, as well as an homage to the label ESP which is a substantial inspiration on the Kohoutek ethos, informed by revolution…
s/t
This tape is the culmination of a series of collaborative performances between Kevin Coleman and J.W. Bird that took place in the latter half of 2024. It is meant to encapsulate the spirit and energy of those performances; spontaneous and communicative. Musical conversations between banjo and fiddle that left no language off the table. A great combination of elements from avant-garde classical, to American Traditional/Primitive, and free improv, exploring improvisational spaces of widely varied …
Somewhere in the Wind
Somewhere in the Wind is the third record that Loren Connors and I have made together. Of the three, it’s the first that consists exclusively of electric guitar duos and it’s the first that was recorded live. To me it feels very much like a live record; this music happened in crowded rooms in Brooklyn on two dates in 2025 and there’s an urgency to connect with others and a pleasure in doing so that can be heard on both of these tracks. On the first of our duo records (Arborvitae, 2003) I primari…
Setpieces
Setpieces captures Cath Roberts & Olie Brice at a new peak of focus and invention, distilling their long-running musical rapport into a set of raw, finely tuned improvisations. Roberts’ baritone lines carve out bold shapes and sudden whispers while Brice’s bass grounds and disrupts in equal measure, creating a vivid, unpredictable dialogue. A striking next chapter for two of the UK’s most distinctive improvisers.
Selections from the Gutter
“Selections from the Gutter” brings NYC saxophonist Michael Foster with the longstanding rhythm section of Swiss bassist Christian Weber (of Sudden Infant), and German drummer Michael Griener, a longtime fixture of the Berlin scene. The trio brings shocking, visceral energy to a distinct structural awareness; drawing suspense from form in each of the David Goodis-inspired titles. This is improvised music digging deep into a shared sense of history, form, and drama.
Penumbra
Recorded in a neighbourhood church in the city of Ghent, Belgium. Penumbra is a fully improvised album. It was born from a personal urgency of searching for ways to keep creating sound in moments of uncertainty. It grew from a desire to move beyond the limit of a single instrument, to experiment with different materials, objects, and instruments. Merging, melting, creating, sounds, poems, and acoustics that inspire me. Penumbra is a state of uncertainty and urgency, moving with freedom and doubt…
Rörane
Rörane showcases an adventurous blend of free improvisation and jazz-rooted exploration from Swedish experimental ensemble stalwarts. Recorded with bassist Nina de Heney, pianist Karin Johansson, and drummer Henrik Wartel, the project melds deep spontaneous interplay with Bothén’s decades-spanning creative voice in avant-improvised music. A boundary-pushing sonic journey that reflects both the collective’s empathic interplay and their shared drive toward expansive musical expression.
Iannis Xenakis: Sonic Odysseys (Book)
The definitive publication accompanying the most comprehensive exhibition ever dedicated to one of the most visionary composers and polymaths of the 20th century
Something broke
*9 copies limited edition* An accepting, meditative, and devoted capturing of a broken tube microphone. With a clear nod to the stormy landscape surrounding the artist oceanside residence the album offers a calming tapestry of persistent yet unpredictable noises.
El Sol de los Muertos
*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released on Umor Rex on cassette a year ago, “El Sol de los Muertos” deeply shaped the evolution and vision of Mexican producer Concepción Huerta’s sonic work, becoming a reference point for a kind of experimental sound deeply connected to Latin American critical thought. This is the second album in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of Umor Rex.
Crafted entirely through subharmonic structures an…
Five Nights in the Midwest
*100 copies limited edition* Five Nights in the Midwest is a new three-CD release from the improvising trio of bass clarinetist Jason Stein, double bassist Damon Smith, and drummer Adam Shead. Recorded during a December 2025 tour across the American Midwest, the album presents seven extended performances exactly as they occurred—without edits or cuts—allowing listeners to experience the full arc of the tour as it unfolded night by night. The December 2025 run marked the trio’s first tour since 2…
Many Roads
*200 copies limited edition* On Many Roads, their second full-length album, microplastique expands its playful yet rigorous commitment to instant composition, deepening an ethos that treats sound itself as both material and meeting ground. Recorded live across the ensemble’s 15-concert June 2025 U.S. tour, the album functions less as a polished artifact than as a document of encounter—capturing how place, audience, and momentary circumstance all shape what this quartet becomes onstage. Seven tra…
