A few weeks ago I hit up this resale shop I haven't been to before. Serious junk store.. stuff piled up everywhere, I had to lay on a pile of Christmas wreaths just to dig through some of the records. Anyway... I get to the electronics room. Ironically enough it has no lights... I start looking with the flashlight from my phone. Mountains of wires and junk and speakers and modems. I see this metal box laying randomly under a bunch of wires, I pull it out thinking it's probably some old telephone…
Been a fan of Brian Ruryk since the early 90's when Pete Larson convinced me to buy his Out Guitar Explosion 7" on the classic Stomach Ache label. Fan for life! So honored to release this new cassette of garbage throwing tape cut-up guitar spasticity. Twenty things happen before you blink...brains blast out of ears... fly back into nostrils... next thing ya know yer using guitar strings as dental floss. Thats a warning!
Bluetooth sound walks featuring extreme interference.Side A recorded at Cedar Point with bluetooth earbuds.Side B recorded in Oberlin with bluetooth speaker.
To wander means to relinquish the idea of a destination—moving through sound without immediately seeking a form, allowing chance encounters, shifts, and resonances to suggest the path. It is from this gesture that "In Vago Spirito" emerges, the new album by Italian vocalist, composer and sound artist Ludovica Manzo. The record marks a new chapter in Ludovica Manzo’s ongoing exploration into the dialogue between free improvisation and composition—a path previously charted through her work with th…
Beat Records returns with a new CD edition of Ennio Morricone's score for Il diavolo nel cervello, the 1972 psychological thriller directed by Sergio Sollima. Long absent from Italian shelves, this is a rare excursion into giallo territory for a director better known for westerns and crime pictures, and it drew from Morricone one of his most fully realised scores for the genre - a lyrical main theme carried by the voice of Edda Dell'Orso, set against dissonant string writing and passages of real…
Lussuria returns with Fresco, the latest full-length from the New York project of Jim Mroz, issued on LP by Hospital Productions. A quieter and more painterly record than much of what has come before it, but no less haunted.
Active since 2007, Lussuria has quietly assembled one of the most distinctive bodies of work within the Hospital Productions orbit. Mroz came to wider attention with the American Babylon series in 2012, then a run of releases that moved between dark ambient, muted industrial…
Furthermore, from prefectures and coral shores emerges a handmade zine—Red Factory Decapitation—that explores industrialised dishonour, the counter-system of ancient rituals, and the notion of an honourable death as a means of securing passage into the afterlife. It portrays an estranged warrior class whose melancholy is gradually eclipsed by ruinous hysteria, culminating in the amplification of maniacal laughter.

You are red tail lights, you are small and simple, you entertained me, i want to destroy this you, i imagine you between two columns, you are small and simple, i want to destroy this you, you are a passion, i must deal with lucifer.
*75 copies limited edition* Richard Ramirez returns with The Hurting, a devastating new tape that plunges deep into the bleakest corners of harsh noise, industrial decay, and psychological unrest.
Across its abrasive and suffocating soundscapes, The Hurting transforms distortion into a language of pain. Layers of feedback, blown-out frequencies, metallic resonance, and corrupted textures collide and collapse, creating an atmosphere that feels both brutally physical and deeply internal. This is n…
Nostalgia is not an ideology, though in this moment, we could be mistaken for thinking it might be just that. Over the past years, the idea of nostalgia has been filtered through various political and technological lenses and has become a tool used for forgetting, rather than remembering. Instead of embracing histories’ complexities and inconsistencies, this version of nostalgia seeks only singular recollection. This contemporary phenomenon of nostalgia has become a methodology at best, and a we…
Nat Birchall goes back to the source. Not Coltrane this time, but the record that led him to Coltrane in the first place.
In 1973 a schoolboy in Lancashire ordered a triple LP from his local record shop after reading about it in Black Music magazine. It was Grounation, by Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari - hand drums, chanting, poetry, and the tenor saxophone of Cedric 'Im' Brooks, soulful and untamed, heard years before Birchall ever put on a John Coltrane record. When he finall…

*200 copies limited release* Tip! The early collaboration between Maso Yamazaki (aka Masonna) and Rudolf Eb.er (aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck) was based on the exchange of tape recordings and ideas by mail; they were guided more by a shared sensibility regarding extreme music and art than by a similar musical style. The first result of this cooperation was released in 1995 on Eb.er’s own Swiss label, Schimpfluch, as a cassette titled “Clitoris Projectile Pump Action”. In 1998, they performed as …
First ever reissue of Coil's 1984 debut on L.A.Y.L.A.H.: seventeen minutes of gongs, bowed metal and slow decay, subtitled Ritual music for the accumulation of male sexual energy. Single-sided 180 gram vinyl with etched B-side and a previously unpublished hard board insert.
Tip! At the time, Yuji Takahashi was known internationally primarily as a pianist. Yet the decade from Phonogène (1962) to Tadori (1972) reveals another essential side of his work: an exploration of electronic sound, mathematics, and computers in composition, and of their changing relationship with human performance. One of the starting points was his encounter with Iannis Xenakis. Takahashi studied probability theory and set theory, and in Phonogène developed his own probabilistic approach to o…
Which is the more productive situation for improvisation: the shock of the first time encounter, unhindered by history or habit, or the long-term association and the evolution of more complex interactions? It's an unresolved, perhaps even undecidable, question. This recording brings together four improvisers together in a multi-layered situation which combines multiple permutations of the untried and the familiar. The four had never all played together before but the quartet contains various his…
