4 Ways To Maul Your Face
Rasga is proud to unleash 4 Ways To Maul Your Face, a limited cassette compilation that gathers four of Portugal’s most uncompromising noise and experimental acts: CAB, Portuguese Funeral, Mijo Preto, and Hypomania. This tape is a visceral journey through dissociative frequencies, absurd conceptualism, and punishing sonic violence, capturing the raw energy of the Portuguese underground in 2025.
4 Ways To Maul Your Face is structured as a double-sided ritual of noise, each side curated to build…
Muslimlahore
A powerful new archival release from the legendary experimental project Muslimgauze, titled Muslimlahore, is now available worldwide via Bandcamp. This album continues the ongoing posthumous excavation of Bryn Jones’ vast and politically charged body of work, offering listeners a fresh immersion into his unique blend of ethnic electronica, dub, and tape-based soundscapes.
Muslimlahore presents a suite of tracks that reflect Muslimgauze’s enduring fascination with South Asian and Islamic themes, …
Unity
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Unity is one of the great organ records precisely because it refuses to behave like one. Larry Youngbrings the Hammond into a post‑bop, modal context alongside Woody Shaw on trumpet, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, and Elvin Jones on drums. The tunes – including originals by Young and his bandmates – are harmonically rich and structurally intriguing, offering the soloists wide latitude. Young’s playing is astonishing: he voices chords in unexpected clusters, sp…
Further Explorations
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Further Explorations pairs Horace Silver’s piano with Art Farmer on trumpet and Clifford Jordan on tenor sax, plus Teddy Kotick on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. Silver’s blend of blues, gospel, and hard‑bop sophistication is very much in evidence, but the writing nudges things into slightly more intricate territory. Catchy themes, smart modulations, and rhythmic hooks abound, yet everything feels natural and unforced. Farmer and Jordan bring contrasting horn col…
My Point Of View
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** My Point of View shows Herbie Hancock widening his palette with a larger band: Donald Byrd on trumpet, Garnett Brown on trombone, Hank Mobley on tenor, Grant Green on guitar, Chuck Israels on bass, Tony Williams on drums, and Patricia “Patty” T. on vocals on one track. The writing is richer and more layered, from soulful vamps to waltz‑like lyricism, yet unified by Hancock’s sense of structure and colour. The horns are given space to develop ideas; Green’s guitar…
Volume 2
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Volume 2, Miles Davis again fronts shifting line‑ups – including Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, and Horace Silver – in a programme that continues the exploration begun on its companion. The arrangements juxtapose brisk, tightly coiled numbers with more relaxed pieces that give Davis room to stretch his lyrical side. His phrasing shows a growing command of silence and attack; a single, slightly bent note can carry as much weight as a flurry of scales. The band’s in…
Collusion And Collaboration
Avant-garde multi-woodwind maestro Vinny Golia and innovative bassist-vocalist-composer Kelsey Mines unite in a dynamic duo recording. Stripping back to just their voices and instruments, this collaboration delivers finely nuanced interplay where Golia’s rich spectrum of woodwinds weaves organically with Mines' deep rhythmic foundation and expressive vocal textures.
Holy Trinity
Rooted in Altman's exploratory practice, she weaves clarinet alongside a sparse palette of preparations, objects, tapes, and feedback. She crafts a series of pieces that are at once delicate and textural yet bold and expressive that reflect both the unique acoustics of the space and her subtle, inquisitive approach to sound, offering a contemplative and tactile listening experience that blurs the line between instrument, environment, and intervention.
Un Biglietto del Tram
On Un biglietto del tram, Stormy Six turn the Italian Resistance into living song, nine pieces where folk‑rock, progressive detail, and militant clarity fuse into one of the sharpest, most moving political albums of the 1970s.
The Stooges
The Stooges turn three chords and a bad mood into a new language, eight songs of slack‑jawed menace and bored fury that quietly redraw the limits of late‑60s rock and sketch punk’s silhouette in acid‑scarred pencil.
Cliphop
*300 copies limited edition* "The Glitch hype was a rather short one. But it brought together different scenes; minimal techno, sound art and electronic minimalism. Then it hit a dead end and dissolved. In the centre of Glitch we found labels like Mille Plateaux (who released the formative ”Clicks + Cuts”) and raster-noton who especially with their static series formed a sound.
The first release (2000) was by a young Andreas Tilliander who under his new moniker Mokira released the ”Cliphop” alb…
Desaparecido
On Desaparecido, Litfiba ignite their “trilogia del potere” with eight songs where British‑tinged new wave collides with Mediterranean melody and political allegory, turning Italian rock into something at once cosmopolitan, urgent, and obstinately local.
Copenhagen, Bordeaux 1966 & Newport 1967 Live First Release
"These powerful performances from Copenhagen and Bordeaux, released officially here for the first time, and the Newport Festival in the U.S., provide further evidence of the music’s collective necessity – the true ensemble coordination which Ayler adopted, elaborated and romanticized, from his awareness of historic New Orleans precedents." - Art Lange
The Piano In The Room And The Blues
“I didn’t realise it at the time, but this recording, made in 2006, marked a change in my musical thinking. All the elements came together – my roots, the use of blues structures and the lifelong search for expression in music. I had unlimited time to think, to return again and again to a subject, to dig deeper into the blues.Falmouth is a large town by the sea in Cornwall. This recording was made at Falmouth Arts Centre on the Steinway grand in the main gallery where my wife Kate had a show. Th…
Bone Flower
*100 copies limiteed edition* Bone Flower is the vinyl debut by Belgian musician Ben Van Houdt (Sitka), releasing solo work since 2015. Born from a decade of sound experiments, the album unfolds as a focused and emotionally charged performance, fusing modern classical elements with drone and minimalist composition. Centered around bowed guitar that drifts between the timbral spaces of cello and violin, its harmonic textures are shaped by magnetic tape and decaying sound structures, creating mome…
Racional Vol 2
Music historians and funk aficionados rejoice: the ultra-rare second volume of Tim Maia's groundbreaking Racional album series from the 1970s is back, delivering an even funkier, harder-edged evolution of the Brazilian soul legend's visionary sound.
Building on the heavy soul vibes of Maia's early '70s Polydor albums, this gem channels a potent dose of American funk and R&B—drawn straight from the raw energy of the East Coast indie scene. Tim Maia, one of Brazil's few true masters of the groove …
Walking Through the Valley
An aural blast in eight parts from southern California legends Moth Drakula, longtime favorites here.The duo, consisting of Evan Pacewicz [Swampland Press, Roman Torment, Blud Thrist…] and Josh Stewart [Ex Jesus], keeps delivering one amazing release after the other since their 2022 eponymous, unexpected (but long hoped for) comeback record. Play loud, expect hiss. Up the punx.
Blue Bird
LA’s amazing harsh noise stalwart Pat Murch delivers more expertly dosed western style sonic intensity. Sissisters is his long standing project, if you’re into quality hn I hope you’re already a huge fan. I am.
