*80 copies limited edition* Tired is Thomas DeAngelo's first full length solo effort since the 2023 Voiceprints & Aircuts CD on adhuman, and his second for More Mars following Standing Water released in 2021. Much has changed, both domestically (DeAngelo resides in Philadelphia, USA) and geopolitically in the interim, but, as the title suggests, maybe not really. Employing a sort of seasick, off kilter symmetry and befouled mirror logic, Tired accentuates the form/content dialectic, with motifs …

A bold analysis that exposes the racist policing of Black music. The emergence of UK drill music made headline news, portraying it as a criminal enterprise instead of recognising it as an art form. This new rap subgenre, however, is neither the first nor the only Black music to be targeted this way. Policing the beats rewinds the tape to demonstrate how music has been used as an instrument for policing Black people, from the era of colonial slavery to the present day, revealing the racist legal …

Washing Machine is the ninth studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, released on September 26, 1995 by DGC Records. It was recorded at Easley Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and produced by the band and John Siket, who also engineered the band's previous two albums. The album features more open-ended pieces than it's predecessors and contains some of the band's longest songs, including the 20-minute ballad "The Diamond Sea", which is the lengthiest track to feature on any …

A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same w…

Herbie Hancock debuted on Blue Note in 1962 and quickly established himself as both a remarkable pianist and a brilliant composer with three excellent albums—Takin’ Off, My Point Of View, and Inventions & Dimensions—before making what is widely considered to be his first masterpiece: Empyrean Isles. Recorded in 1964, the album seemed to distill the full breadth of Hancock’s artistry into a sweeping 35-minute musical journey. Joining Hancock on the voyage were three of his closest collaborators: …

10" featuring this explosive encounter between two of the wildest and most irrepressible musicians on the current international adventurous scene: the American electronics artist Container (real name Ren Schofield) and the Australian drummer/percussionist Will Guthrie.

Exuma returns with Exuma II, the hypnotic follow-up that deepens the spellbinding fusion of Bahamian folk traditions, mystical storytelling, and raw, soulful performance. First released in 1970 on Mercury Records, Exuma II expands the singular vision that introduced the world to Exuma’s otherworldly sound earlier that year. On Exuma II, the artist refines the eccentric, ritualistic atmosphere of his debut while offering moments of greater restraint and melodic clarity. Where the first album dazz…

Carol Maia & Jeremy Gustin’s haunting collaborative album is the result of a long distance partnership during which tracks were traded back and forth across thousands of miles, Jeremy working from his home studio in Brooklyn and Carol from hers in Rio De Janeiro. Later they enlisted support from a number of key players in the Rio scene, Frederico Heliodoro, Paulo Emmery, Ricardo Dias Gomes, and from Brooklyn’s musical community, Will Graefe and Ryan Dugre, to shape this understated masterpiece o…

Emerging from the fevered crossroads of late‑1960s psychedelia and early heavy rock, Leaf Hound’s debut album Growers of Mushroom stands as a raw, unforgettable statement of power, groove and atmosphere. First issued in 1970 as Leaf Hound by Telefunken in Germany and reissued in the UK in 1971 by Decca under the title Growers of Mushroom, this singular record captures the original band line‑up at their fiercest and most imaginative — and remains a cornerstone for generations of heavy, psychedeli…

*2026 stock* Nocturna is the first collaborative album between New Zealand musician Andrew Thomas and German artist Joachim Spieth. Inspired by fleeting moments of beauty in nature, where light illuminates and then disappears into the shadows, Thomas began composing on the piano during Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Gathering piano fragments like treasured relics, he passed them on to Spieth some months later, as Summer was now dawning in the Northern Hemisphere. Spieth wove the piano’s deli…

*2026 stock* With Spectral Passage, rhubiqs delivers a deeply immersive concept album that traces a psychological journey from turmoil to clarity. Inspired by artists like Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Sarah Davachi and William Basinski, the record layers guitars, synths, pianos, samples, field recordings, strings and brass into shifting soundscapes that mirror the mind’s passage through anxiety, trauma and renewal. Opening with dense, disorienting textures (Infinite Dusk, Endless Nights), the album grad…

Vestige continues Joachim Spieth’s refined exploration of spatial sound and textural depth. Building on the sonic language developed throughout his recent works – including Retrace – the album expands the dialogue between ambient atmospheres and dub-infused detail. The result is a composition of weightless intensity: a sound that unfolds in motion, inhabiting both vast hall spaces and microscopic frequency shifts. Driven by the question of how much presence can reside within a single, minimal so…

*2026 stock* With rhubiqs we welcome a new artist from the United Kingdom, who makes his first appearance on the Affin label with the album “Aegis of Silence”. Musically, the project moves between the poles of warm electronica, post-rock and soft ambient sounds, which are miraculously merged into a melodious body of work. rhubiqs' sound works fit into the existing affin sound garden on the one hand, but shine with an independently developed signature that is able to set its own accents.

*2026 stock* Ultra loud heavy psychedelic rock from Colorado, late 60s, with loads of fuzz guitar all over. Dragonfly were actually a band called The Legend, who changed their name just when they were recording their self-titled album. Originally released by the Megaphone label in 1968, Dragonfly is a hard-psych classic, highly sought-after by collectors since day one. Back in 2012 we did the first official vinyl reissue and we now present a new, improved repress with expanded liner notes and ne…

Ellison were a Montréal-based hard-rock/ heavy-blues band emerging from Québec’s late ’60s psychedelic scene. With just one album to their name, they left behind a powerful legacy and a rapidly growing cult following. The band’s origins trace back to 1967, when bassist Richard Arcand and vocalist Vincent Marandola played together in Johnny Peace. In 1969, guitarist Christian Vaeillant and drummer Robert Cager joined forces with them, forming Ellison. Closely tied to l’Association des Orchestres—…

Moby Dick were a fierce, English-singing rock band born in Naples in 1968, driven by zero compromises, and a motto that said it all: “no drugs, no bullshit—just music.”Blending Mediterranean fire with a hard-rock sound deeply inspired by Led Zeppelin, they carved out a reputation on the Italian live circuit before cutting a now-legendary, long-lost album in London in 1973. Formed in the Vomero district of Naples by  guitarist Toni Di Mauro and bassist Enzo Petrone, the band came together with dr…

Conceived by legendary (and controversial) producer Matthew Katz, Fifth Pipe Dream – Volume I is a groundbreaking psychedelic album from 1968 that blurs the line between compilation and concept record. Featuring a rotating cast of  Katz’s San Francisco Sound artists, it encapsulates the creativity and experimental spirit of the Bay Area at its lysergic peak. Rather than a traditional various-artists compilation, Fifth Pipe Dream was designed as a unified listening experience—multiple bands contr…

"Korb members Jonathan Parkes and Alec Wood have formed a prolific partnership over recent years, building up a catalogue of recordings on their own Dreamlord Recordings label under various aliases, including The Hologram People, whose Village of the Snake God on Library of the Occult remains a high point. Here the duo shifts it's attentions towards the world of Kosmische music and bubbling synths, global grooves and analogue soundscapes, all delivered so effortlessly it's hard not to fall for t…

Like all Studio Kosmische records, Electronic Meditation for Inner Space Travel is less a collection of tracks than a single, unbroken experience. It flows with purpose, every note a step in a silent procession toward understanding. There’s no urgency, no climax, just a graceful surrender to the unknown. When it ends, the world feels quieter, your thoughts slower, the air lighter. This one’s a record to play deep into the night, when the sky outside your window looks almost purple and the world …

Time spent in hospital rooms. The weight still unfolding. The uncertain future. More questions than answers. Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife. Shaped by what we are moving through together. An attempt to meet pain with love. Keep going. Try to rest. When can we. Holding each moment close, celebrating it as if it were both our first and our last. Knowing that love, in its truest form, is never measured by grandeur but by the depth of what is shared between two souls…
