Ultimatum And Incitement
"The curtains are drawn back, the sheets are pulled up over your face, the tape is fizzing out - you hear a familiar voice, a beeping, a chirping, a long hallway voice of lights - damn, feels like a breeze over marble headstones and you recognize what felt so familiar… the bark of the birch tree looks exactly like your bedroom back home. black and white and falling apart. mlehst mastery of soul-fuckery with surrealist outcomes! the difficulty… no …. the ease."
“Ultimatum And Incitement” is a c…

We Have Come To Bring Rain
Tape. Digital download included. The train starts towards blackpool. the enemy streets are full of revellers, and we know what they are celebrating. last night’s fiasco. now we can tell you the next day was the same, only worse, that they had caught on and they just had to face the truth, that a real rain would come, beyond belief, washing away an audience of no one.

Cyan Music
Tip! ** Edition of 70 ** On Cyan Music, Atte Elias Kantonen sets out to answer a deceptively simple question: what happens when shimmer and sheen – qualities usually belonging to light – are reimagined as pure sound. Across eight pieces he uses radiant, meticulously sculpted synthesis to build a world where timbre behaves like reflective surfaces, refracting and scattering in ways that feel almost tangible. Rather than leaning on obvious ambient tropes, he treats each track as a small laboratory…
Strata
Music aged in time, resonating from the surface to the corethrough layers and sediments of stones — the strata. Four morning recording sessions with a separation between them of between three and ten months — a chronozone that will rest for a time and on which the next one will be added, thus forming the total of the six pieces of the album — becoming six strata.
A slow-moving album that develops landscapes of subtle but continuous evolution, where we find layers of diverse nature created from d…

Proportioning of open units
Besides being a visual artist, Christoffer Kjærskov has quietly been making experimental music for the last 20 years. His works, always recorded to 4 track cassette, seem to carry a certain warmth flowing through the patiently unfolding loops and shimmering melodies this release is an assemblage of synthesizer, urban field recordings and even some synthetic flute solos peeping through the tape mist. A lovely unpretentious recording, I am very happy to present through afvikling .
The sad house and the bad house
I’m happy to present a new recording on Afvikling from my friend Frederik Heidemann, this time working under his new Plain Bob Minor alias. Where his first tape for the label was a patiently unfolding piece of homemade chamber music, this recording is in every way very different. This tape consists of small compositions for midi controlled synthesizer. Quirky and often times humorous but still characterized by the same warmth that flows through all Frederiks Recordings. Frederik Is slowly but su…
1–16
When I started to be curious about producing cassette tapes around 2016, everyone I met said that I should talk to Wilfred Wagner. Not only did he have a lot of printing equipment and knowledge about cover design, he also have one of Copenhagen’s only functioning tape duplicators. I think it’s safe to say that Wilfred is a legend in the Copenhagen underground. He has helped everyone to make covers, underground books etc. He also ran an exhibition platform making art books and been involved in th…
Fata Morgana
On their new album Fata Morgana, an illusory trip of emotion and confrontation, Belgian duo schntzl conjure mirages of fleeting realities while diving headfirst into a trance-driven, confrontational digital sound. Fata Morgana unfolds like a hyper-visual journey, constructing enveloping dreamworlds through trance-infused live electronica. Yet trance here is present not in form but in essence—an intensity, a state of being. It may stir the same emotions as club music, but schntzl express them in …

These essential recordings will become widely available again for the first time in decades, opening a new chapter in the appreciation of one of Jamaica’s most distinctive voices and representing a major moment for reggae and dub aficionados around the world. This reissue series will not only preserve his legacy but will also offer listeners the chance to experience the depth and timeless resonance of Sherman’s work in its full glory…
Dou Dou Doudo: Ao Vivo Na Cooperativa Árvore
*300 copies limited edition* Audio taken from a live performance by Anar Band (Jorge Lima Barreto and Rui Reininho) with E.M. de Melo e Castro in November of 1978 at Cooperativa Árvore, Porto. The performance was filmed. A segment was included in »Obrigatório Não Ver«, a weekly programme presented by Ana Hatherly on Public Television’s Second Channel. It was not possible to determine the exact date of the event, and no documentation seems to be available in the relevant archives. »Encontro que T…
Studies On A River
»Ka ora te awa. Ka ora te iwi. The river is well, so the people are well«, says artist and writer Hana Pera Aoake. »In a Māori worldview, everything is connected and contains mauri, the life spark or essence inherent in all things, as they contain the residue of ancestors through whakapapa, or genealogy. Within Western environmental histories, there is a gap in knowledge around what we can learn through an act of listening.«
Hana Pera Aoake’s words resonated with Hinako Omori when they were invi…
In a Few Places Along the River
Soft Echoes presents the first physical edition of ‘In a Few Places Along the River’ by Abul Mogard as a limited run of 500 vinyl copies. Originally released digitally in 2022, the album now appears in its intended form, marking the label’s second release.
Three long pieces, composed between 2019 and 2022, emerged from Mogard’s meticulous experimentation with analogue and digital instruments. Slowly evolving harmonic fields of layered drones and spectral textures drift across the record. They ar…

A hidden gem from bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto resurfaces with the reissue of 1970 En México, capturing the artist in artistic exile during his time in Mexico City. This intimate album blends timeless Brazilian classics, sultry boleros, and jazz standards, all filtered through Gilberto’s signature whisper-soft vocals and minimalist guitar accompaniment.
Recorded live in the vibrant heart of Mexico City, En México showcases Gilberto’s unparalleled ability to transcend borders. Standout tracks…
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…
Have You Heard About the World Coming to an End?
Death Is Not The End present a compilation gathering a cross-section of early gospel choirs and vocal harmony groups recorded between late 1920s and the mid-1950s - a period when spirituals & jubilee traditions merged with blues, jazz and early rhythm and blues, providing the musical routes for the coalescence of the civil rights movement born out of the black church. In the modern world these perennially vital recordings provide a fitting tonic for the near-dystopia we find ourselves living thr…
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…
