Two almost-impossible-to-find Amazonian rarities, finally reissued together for the first time on a single. On one side, Los Playboys’ instrumental ‘Play Boy’, packed with all the hallmarks of psychedelic cumbia—playful surf-tinged guitars and a hypnotic, dancefloor-ready groove. On the flip side, a fiery Cuban-influenced Descarga jam from Iquitos’ obscure band Los Roger’s. Iquitos, one of Peru’s most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia…

The historical origins of cumbia are nebulous and imprecise. The  mythology surrounding it suggests an ancient past when Amerindian, African and European musical sounds were mixed together. After digging deep into the overwhelming archives of Discos Fuentes, Codiscos and Discos MAG in our previous volumes, this fourth instalment in the series “Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!!”  comprises 28 Colombian cumbia bangers for the dance floor from the deep vaults of Discos Tropical, all of them originally releas…

Before he turned 20, Lô Borges released one of the most captivating albums to come out of Brazil’s rich musical landscape — a record that somehow flew under the radar at the time but has since become a cult favorite for listeners around the world.

Pressured by Odeon Records to deliv…

We are thrilled to introduce Axis Dissected, the debut release of escéptica, and a bold statement from Dangel. A sonic excavation of found sound, field recordings and musique concrète abstraction.

Dangel works with intuitive precision, sculpting scenes of acoustic memory and spatial debris. There is a tension here between control and chance, betwe…

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of "Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom", Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Pa…

2025 Repress. The second beautiful album by the duo of Jessika Kenney -- a vocalist known for her haunting timbral sense, as well as her profound interpretation of Persian vocal traditions -- and Eyvind Kang -- a violist for whom the act of music and learning is a spiritual discipline. All tracks were composed by Kenney (voice, percussion, electronics) and Kang (viola, setar, electronics). "The Central Javanese Wangsalan is a kind of riddle (two lines, twelve syllables each, divided 4 and 8 ), s…

poèmes de bouche: because they were conceived with the mouth as if they were to be spoken in tongues murmurs de tête: “murmurs” and not “murmures” to recall murmur, the demon that teaches philosophy and keeps murmuring up in the head

The Limited Edition 12" vinyl emerges as the sonic counterpart to the photobook "The Buzzer", through a collaboration between producer Pedro Augusto and photographer Miguel Proença, centered on the reimagining of a sound archive. The compositions trace the geographic and ­psychological terrain of the photographs, weaving together field recordings, voices, and signals from a mysterious shortwave radio, long believed to be of Russian military origin, into a landscape of memory and uncertainty.

*200 copies limited edition* While listening to old [Multer]-recordings for a potential 25 years anniversary edition we were highly impressed by the direct two track recording of this concert in 1999 due to both the concentrated and quiet audience and the setup of some of our songs, which were preversions for the following Neskt-10” release. All in all this concert is very intense, so instead of the anniversary edition we decided to release this concert; we hope you like it too… The group starte…

Listening to Points of Inaccessibility is an encounter with a sound field that is constantly in flux. Elements surface briefly, shift position and recede, creating a sense of motion that resists stable interpretation. The music moves between closeness and vastness, carrying traces of memory while withholding a clear point of resolution. The album’s visual identity completes the project’s conceptual arc. In Mexico City, where Irisarri and Schilp first met, Daniel Castrejón transformed stills from…

DINTE re-runs and expands their 2020 sufi-flamenco grail on LP and tape format, adding 4 newly unearthed tracks to those previously thought to be Aziz Balouch's only recordings.

*100 copies limited edition* From Dust to Stars centres on a shared time of music-making in June 2006 at Andrew Chalk’s studio in Hull, northern England—a time that later formed the core of a work shaped over the ensuing years through Kojo’s editing. In Chalk’s wooden studio—its atmosphere shaped by soft humidity and gentle resonance—the three musicians let the music emerge at the pace of their breathing. What unfolded shared qualities with none of their solo works, yet carried traces of each: C…

The Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented, outfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of “invisible” soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve. Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea …

Rosy Parlane is a musician from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. His work combines piano, guitar, electronics, and field recordings to create music that sits somewhere between composition and environment – less about performance, more about presence. Parlane first became known in the early 1990s as part of Thela, a trio whose exploratory sound bridged noise, improvisation, and minimal rock forms. Later, as one half of Parmentier with Dion Workman, he explored digital minimalism an…

The vinyl is in excellent condition.  Circa 1950, four musicians orbiting the RAI orchestra in Rome had what they later described as "a brilliant idea": to name their group using the initials of their own names. From Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (Hammond organ and piano), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar) emerged "I Marc 4…

Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition.

Mondi Caldi Di Notte gathers twenty-four tracks from the mondo sexy documentaries that Sciascia scored in the early 1960s, drawing from the archives of his ow…

In July 20, 1969, as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, an Italian pianist and composer named Luciano Michelini was completing work on one of the most extraordinary documents of that moment's cultural impact: La Conquista Di Luna, an imaginary soundtrack to humanity's greatest adventure. There was no film. There would never be a film. What Michelini created instead was something rarer and more enduring: a sonic fantasy of space exploration that captured the wonder, mystery, and optim…

For this CD, we used the stereo master tapes from the original sessions, and as a bonus track, we've included a lengthy mono suite assembled by Maestro Morricone himself for a promotional double vinyl release. The maestro composed a fascinating experimental score that draws on his studies and performances with the Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, founded by Goffredo Petrassi. Morricone perfectly captured the deceptively quiet atmosphere of a post-nuclear world, where survivors live in…

In 1977, Cinevox Record released a 45 rpm single (MDF 113) with the tracks ‘Sahara Cross’ and ‘Safari session’ chosen by the composer.

Kishun is a duo: Ishikawa Ko, player of the shō (mouth-organ), and Nakamura Kahoru, player of the gaku-biwa (Japanese court lute). Since 2015 they have used only shō and biwa. Their idea is to bring out the hidden sound in what they call “gagaku without melody.”. Gagaku is the ancient court music of Japan. It is more than a thousand years old. In the Heian period, nobles gathered old songs and dances from Japan and pieces that had come from Korea and China between the 5th and 9th centuries, and …

*328 copies limited edition* Prophecy finds Eye in form familiar to those who've had the good fortune to hear their 2016 album Other Sky, but even more compacted and condensed, a band simmered and reduced to their pure essence. And then the volume increases. Prophecy is a pummeling din of guitar clouds shot through with electronic disruption. Stapleton's relentless motion drives Porteous' icy guitar streams in leaping waves. 'Catch Them' opens the album with Peter's vocals, croaking out from the…
