Ifaname
*300 copies limited edition* Mats Gustafsson meets Jan St. Werner in 2019 when they both perform with Peter Brötzmann and a group of prolific improvisers for three days at Flutgraben in Berlin. Mats and Jan notice their mutual passion for performing not just inside spaces, but also with them, activating environments and shaping sound through diversion. Mats introduces Johan Berthling, whose complex bass explorations complement the frantic jitter of Mats’ saxophone and pedals, and Werner’s digita…
Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn
*150 copies limited edition* FUMU christens the promising new label Return To Zero (RTZ) with Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn, the surrendering sophomore album from Nigerian artist, self-described “negro-producer”, hedonist, and iconoclast LINTD. With production collaboration from Porter Brook and features from Samrai (Swing Ting), Porter Brook, Sam Scott Francis (GOMID), Rizmi, and Imani Jendai. LINTD’s work emerges as a call and response between the tender, dynamic sounds of Black music across …
Dolce Vita
Louis Matute unveils Dolce Vita, a bold and vibrant album. Recorded at the legendary La Frette Studio, this record blends Honduran heritage with Brazilian influences, merging jazz, groove, Caribbean rock and vintage textures into a poetic and deeply committed work. Having gained recognition at prestigious festivals, Matute collaborates here with remarkable artists such as Joyce Moreno, Dora Morelenbaum, Gabi Hartmann and Rico TK. In March 2025, Louis set up camp at La Frette, a rock-tinged, vint…
Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1982
"Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1982." is an electrifying concert, recorded on February 8, 1982, captures the raw energy and dynamic performance of the band during the second leg of their acclaimed La Folie British tour.
Originally recorded for the BBC radio series 'In Concert,' this performance remained in the vaults for nearly 16 years before seeing its first official release on CD. Fans can finally experience the unfiltered excitement and passion of The Stranglers, as they take the stage at on…
Bosporus Bridges - A Wide Selection Of Turkish Jazz And Funk 196
Pioneering, magisterial compilation, which turned many of us here onto Mustafa Ozkent, Fikret Kizilok, Erkin Koray, Temiz and co, a decade ago. Still dazzling, fresh, essential.
Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane
The music on this record is a reflection of journeys and travel. The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and Its impressions, rituals, superstitions-the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and…
Four Corners
"I first came across Jeff's mysterious "Reggae Foes" 45 in the mid-2000s at the legendary Logos book/record store in Santa Cruz, California (RIP) - the kind of generic sleeve and label that gives you nothing more than a font and some scant shards of text to go by (luckily this text was "A Flying Saucer Came Down and Burnt My Baby's Neck"). What I heard upon bringing it home felt like some kind of alternate-timeline post punk calypso, unknowingly adjacent to the deconstructions occurring at the B…
Sphere to Sphere
Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw's experimental jazz project, in this iteration featuring him on synths and Nathan England-Jones on percussion. Formed in Birmingham, Zyggurat has over 8 years of cosmic electronic wrangling under it's belt. Releases and live shows have featured a charmingly eclectic range of collaborators ranging from tap dancers to sax/flute players, taking in the accordion along the way, with the lyrical drumming of England-Jones the constant and steady accompaniment.
Recorded over tw…
Postones
First ever vinyl reissue of "Postones", an astounding body of recordings by Vito Ricci with Rashied Ali and Byard Lancaster, originally issued as a tiny cassette on Ricci's own Creation imprint in 1984. Moving between free jazz fire and percussion-driven theatre scores, this document of downtown New York in the early 1980s pulls the rug from beneath the expected historical narratives. One of the most revelatory releases of 2026.
Bubble Bath for Giants
Opaque Pink Vinyl An immersive percussion-led meditation from Los Angeles-based composer and producer Carlos Niño, Bubble Bath for Giants is at once an ode to oceanic vastness and a celebration of the quietly powerful - what Niño describes as the same energy expressed in different vessels. Recorded in Topanga, California and across the homes of the artists involved, the album unfolds through an extraordinary density of acoustic material: bells, bowls, ceramics, chimes, cymbals, bass drum, sakar…
Interview with a Cat
On Interview with a Cat, Marcel Broodthaers turns a deadpan Q&A with a meowing interlocutor into a razor‑sharp miniature of conceptual art: a five‑minute 1970 audio piece where questions about painting, markets and museums collapse into one insistent “miaow.”
Live 1979/80 + Rehearsal 1978
On Live 1979/80 + Rehearsal 1978, SODS are caught mid‑mutation: from Copenhagen’s first feral punk band to the darker, more avant‑garde force that would soon become Sort Sol, in a barrage of raw tapes, sweat and beautiful mistakes.
A Profound Loss of Meaning
On A Profound Loss of Meaning, Alice Kemp braids twelve years of recording and composition into a slow, unnerving drift where trance states, dream images and tiny domestic hauntings coagulate into an intimate, disquieting cartography of unreason.
El Llamado (Der Aufruf)
On El Llamado (Der Aufruf), Mario de Vega distils a performative piece for dispersed voices and whistles into a stark, fixed composition, turning a global collection of wind instruments and a single outdoor activation into a study of call, place, and the politics of listening.
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Polyvalent Creativity
Polyvalent Creativity is a new CD release on Confront Recordings featuring free improvisation by bassist Dominic Lash on electric guitar and percussionist Mark Wastell on drums and percussion.
The album comprises four tracks: "Potential," "Commitment," "Activation," and "Fulfilment," blending jazz improvisation with rich, textural soundscapes. Reviews highlight its unconventional approach, starting with tuning-like sounds that evolve into emotionally resonant free jazz.
Critics praise the duo's …
Sub Zero
Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's (aka The Bug) music couldn't go any slower, lower or deeper, Sub Zero emerges. A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience, the album gradually mutates into hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia. It is arguably Martin's most striking release to date under his given name. Originally released digitally on Bandcamp only in the depths of winter 2022, amid the final year of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's initial i…
In Dub
Emotional Rescue returns after a much-needed year hiatus, refreshed and ready, as it moves into its 15th year, to further explore the environs of oft-forgotten musical secrets and present them to new heads and minds. To celebrate, the label looks back to one of its favourite collaborations, the music of French ‘Ethno-Industrialists’ Vox Populi! in presenting a truly unique EP of “In Dub”, inspired remixes by 4 fellow Paris based artists of today in Full Circle, Froid Dub, Krikor and Shelter.
“In…

Blast - Distorted Memories (Book)
Alexander Hacke became obsessed with classical music at an early age, but ended up dropping out of school and hanging out with punks, squatters, and bohemians in the West Berlin underground scene. After his first music projects under the pseudonym Alexander von Borsig, he joined the newly formed Einstürzende Neubauten in 1980. While the Neubauten became a groundbreaking and hugely successful band, Hacke not only experimented with all kinds of stimulants, but also continued to develop musically: …
