The Endless Tunnels Of Enlandin

The Mage and his faithful companions fled into the dungeon as the castle collapsed. Believing the Mage of Enlandin to be buried with his treasures, the attacking Lord ordered his men to dig through the rubble. Before they could …
The Day of Forever
HDK is honored to present a new artist, Alo, who debuts with an album of romantic Berlin-school electronic music in which each track is a fragment of a suspended world, a contemplative and restless electronic experience: hypnotic sequences, pulsating synthesizers, and melancholic textures evoke abandoned cities, decaying technologies, and forgotten memories.
The album (and its title) is a tribute to the English writer J.G. Ballard (1930–2009) and his frightening imaginative power.

For the first explorers, the Dark Caribbean was paradise. They had found only deserted islands and rich treasures. It was only when thousands left their overcrowded and corrupted homelands to colonize the islands that the Scourge appeared… Frightening screams echoed across the beaches, and from the night-black waves the undead rose. Terror spread like wildfire. First they came one at a time, then entire hordes, and soon the settlements were submerged by rivers of lifeless, nameless creatures. Po…

Play Boy / Descarga Rogers’
Two almost-impossible-to-find Amazonian rarities, finally reissued together for the first time on a single.

Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! (Vol. 4)

Tilaye's Saxophone With The Dahlak Band

His saxophone and arrangements are likely featured on many recordings from Addis Ababa of that era. Despite Ethiopia’s limited formal musical institutions, Tilaye trained at the Haile Selassie First Theatre music school, where he began studying saxophone instead of guitar under mentor Ato Aymre Gemeda. This instrument became his lifelong expressive voice.
