Saet El-Hazz (The Luck Hour)
* Limited marbled vinyl, incl. insert * Maurice Louca is one of the most gifted musicians and composers on Egypt's thriving underground music scene. This forthcoming full-length album draws voraciously on Arabic music, psychedelic folk. The title Saet El-Hazz is a coded saying in Egypt to refer to a good time and usually implies a great deal of debauchery.

Catalina Matorral
Tip! * Edition of 300 * Catalina Matorral is a comet. Catalina Matorral is a duo; Marion Cousin and Borja Flames make up its double head and four hands. At the beginning of the 2010s, they were called June et Jim — we remember some disturbing EPs they released before joining the label Le Saule (a small, chivalrous table whose holy grail is everything unheard, where folk-singing is avant-garde and avant-garde is synonymous with enchantment). Their first LP, Les Forts, evoked the songwriting of in…
Emak Bakia
* 2nd Edition in Black Vinyl with different artwork and a posterLimited edition of 500* Emak Bakia – a long out of print masterpieces from 1994. Even in the huge Bryn Jones' discography Emak Bakia really stands out of albums from the period due to its rather unique (house-music related) sound and short, by the standards of Bryn Jones, tracks. Like a crossmix between Psychic TV (circa Towards Thee Infinite Beat) and Muslimgauze's trademark percussion and eastern vibes. Re-mastered and with new s…

V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power) Vol. 1 Live In Berlin
* 2021 Repress * Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kuti’s ‘Army Arrangement’ on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series. ‘Army Arrangement’ is about Nigeria’s attempt at ‘democracy’ in 1979 after more than a decade of military rule.Bill Laswell’s mix of Army Arrangement for the Celluloid label was an act of gross cultural-arrogance. With Fela in jail on trumped up currency-smuggling charges when the time came to make the final mix, the label approached Dennis Bovell. B…
Mutant Stomps
These American legends of outsider avant-garde need little introduction. Since becoming core members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society five decades ago, they have retained their focus, determination and unmatched originality, influencing generations and never seizing to advance further avenues of progress. Mutant Stomps is a result of Smegma’s living room recording sessions at their pink house in Portland. All tracks were produced 2012–2013, with one dating back to 1975 for good measure. The…

The album was originally released on cassette by American label NullZone in 2018. The edition was 50 copies, and it was sold relatively fast, so it was about time to make another edition, so that this album can be available again. Pa-luu Val-Oon offers a deep transcendental sound, sometimes noisy and intense, even dark, but always keeping on the road into the ligh…
Esoteric Construction
* Edition of 30, cloth cover, hand-made sleeve * The Brain Dwarf is another brain child of Jani Hirvonen, and his neverending experiments in a psychic world. No idea when he could stop this madness and to start to live normally with a real day job. But let's do not worry about that, because as long as this 'experimento psychedelica spiritualito' lasts, we will have a lot of new music to listen - if we want, of course - because there's still no-one to force to listen any of this.
Esoteric Const…
