Bourbonese Qualk were an experimental music group from England who where active from 1979 until 2003. The group were always obsessively and uncompromisingly focused on controlling their work – they ran their own record label, recording studio, tour organisation and music venue (the legendary ‘Ambulance Station’) – they refused to integrate into the commercial music racket turning down publishing deals from major labels – stubbornly opting for total independence.

DNZ122 Drew Wesely – Silence is a Sharpened Blade
Silence is a Sharpened Blade speaks in the language of materiality — a stripped bare mantra of nylon and wood conjures unspoken and veiled interiors, channeling the intimacy of a single guitar alone in a room. Silence is a mirror, a shadow, an absence. It speaks when words fail in the poetry of negative numbers. Where do we go when the lights burn out? What is beauty in hell? What can pierce a heart of stone? Silence i…
The encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions.Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of the Italian industrial scene, chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense. The listener moves across these terrains as if navigating…

*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes.

*300 copies limited edition* With "Dadayama", His Majesty The Baby presents a work that stands at the crossroads between music, sound poetry and the theatrical spirit of the historical avant-gardes.

The album is the result of a long creative process coordinated by Francesco Paolo Paladino, who also oversaw the artistic p…
*200 copies limited edition* "Listening from the 80’s to Ambient explorations in the form of IDM, Minimal Techno and other more experimental Glitch, Clicks & Cuts styles and its creative, playful use of rhythmical structures and sounds, inspired me to take a step out of my musical comfort zone into more beat driven area’s and so, I bought myself a MPC Key 37 and overwhelmingly started hitting the pads, pressing the keys, twisting the knobs, in attempt to let my musical history repeat itself with…

*200 copies limited edition* "Contrary to the implication of the title, Nathan Amundson’s new album "Thing Fall Apart" holds quite tightly at its center. In fact, for a decade-spanning compilation of unrelated 'singles', the collection somehow comes together rather poetically and seamlessly - albeit in some-sort of slow-mo, existential collapse much more in line with the title. By 'singles', please don’t get it twisted with the modern, music parlance - more so indicating pieces made with no orig…

*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…

* Limited edition 180 gram solid orange coloured vinyl. 2020 Stock * This 1961 Impulse album was particularly notable for Coltrane’s use of the ex- panded sound provided by a ‘big band’ with trumpets, trombone, baritone sax, Eric Dolphy’s bass clarinet and flute, and (most unusually) French horns, euphonium and tuba. Overlaying this backing is one of Coltrane’s great quartets with Messrs. Tyner (who, with Dolphy, did the arranging), Workman and Jones. The album’s centrepiece is the extended Colt…

The Swallows were one of Singapore's standout bands of the 1960s, rising from the explosive Pop Yeh-Yeh movement, the regional response to the global beat-band wave, with strong garage-rock roots. Fusing surf rock, early Beatles-inspired pop, and gritty, fuzz-laden guitars with a distinctly local sensibility, they became youth icons of the era. Defined by sharp suits, infectious melodies, and a rebellious spark, The Swallows captured the restless energy of post-independence Singapore, securing t…
