Upcoming releases
Racco
Few musicians, and few albums, embody such a joyful sense of freedom and vitality. Racco is where the artistry of Ryojiro Furusawa reaches its peak.
In Fiesta
More than sixty years after its original recording, a masterpiece that has captivated audiences around the world is reborn on an analog mono pressing with truly powerful sound.
Each Day, as if it Were Your Last
'Each Day, as if It Were Your Last' marks a striking new chapter for Pallette and a complete departure from his Past Inside the Present debut, 'Pathways'. Released in November 2020, Pathways emerged from an introspective period in Alexander Carlo Buckley’s life, presenting four lovely loop-based compositions shaped by hypnotic, consonant arrangements, fleeting melodies, and a patient sense of ebb and flow. Each Day, as if It Were Your Last moves beyond those meditative foundations, expanding Pal…
Directors
Celebrated Czech musicians Floex & Jan Šikl present Directors, a collaborative album exploring neoclassical composition, electronic experimentation and chamber ensemble performance. Across four movements, Directors reveals a musical language where classical formality and electronic spontaneity exist as equal voices due out on via Minority Records. The dream of melding classical music with contemporary music, electronic in particular has been a cherished if not always successful one – it is as if…
Soileth
*250 copies limited edition* Soileth collects the complete recorded output of Holeist, a short-lived project featuring Dan Burke, Jeph Jerman and Eric Lunde. It stands as the final document of a brief encounter between these major figures of the American experimental underground, recorded in 1989 - a time when cassette culture, primitive sampling technology and extreme sound experimentation were colliding into something entirely new.
The material for side one was recorded during a single-day ses…
Venus
*250 copies limited edition* Venus is a new LP by Swedish group Organ of Corti and marks their fifth release on Dead Mind Records. For the occasion, Chinese-American vocalist and musician Audrey Chen enters the magnetic world of Mattias Gustafsson, Dan Johansson and Joachim Nordwall. While tape turns and circuits hum, these six pieces slowly unfold. Familiar fragments are repeated until they lose their origin. Synthesizer tones drift through layers of magnetic residue, while Chen's voice appears…
Magnetic Tapes 1-7
*100 copies limited edition* Corpse Magnetism is a collaborative project between Rudolf Eb.er and Johnny van de Koolwijk. Rooted in ritualistic sound practices and primitive outsider aesthetics, the duo creates immersive pieces built from organic drones, handmade instruments, decayed textures, primitive percussion and improvised field recordings.
Rudolf Eb.er aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck is widely known for founding the radical outsider art project Schimpfluch-Gruppe in 1987, as well as being i…
Eat the Rich
Eat The Rich is an eclectic intersection of two serial collaborators: Giffoni (No Fun Fest / No Fun Productions) continues to explore new dimensions in sound, primarily using modular / synths (with recent full lengths on Ideologic Organ and Room40), paired here with the instinctually abstract percussion of Corsano (known from working with everyone from Bill Orcutt to Richard Bishop to Bjork but with literally 100's of appearances under his belt since the turn of the century). Produced by David S…
Ljud
Andreas Tilliander released »Ljud« in 2001 as the first full-length album under his real name. The year before, the Swedish producer’s »Cliphop« album under his Mokira moniker had established him in the world of adventurous electronic music and the clicks’n’cuts scene. »Ljud« was just as minimalistic, warm, and playful as its predecessor while also notably inspired by house music. It is a timeless record based on happy accidents, playful loops, and lively spontaneity. For its 25th anniversary, K…
Above the Clouds
Chicago producer and composer Will Miller’s Resavoir has established a strong following at the intersection of jazz, electronic music, and beat-driven production, with more than 9,000 vinyl records sold and 82M+ streams across the project’s first three albums. Resavoir’s 2019 self-titled debut received an 8.2 from Pitchfork alongside broad international critical acclaim, with ongoing support from Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Anthony Valadez, Somewhere Soul, Andrew Jervis and Lovie, plus airplay on BB…
Smell Of Female
Released in 1983 after a lengthy court battle with IRS Records, Smell of Female originally contained just the first six songs. These, plus out-of-control ad-lib freakouts “Beautiful Gardens” and “She Said” (previously omitted due to legal restrictions) were recorded live at New Yorkʼs famous Peppermint Lounge. There is nothing like the sound of The Cramps, and this set distills that cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance, captured live like a…
RockinNReelinInAucklandNewZealandXXX
Featuring an over-the-top live set from Down Under, RockNReelinInAucklandNewZealandXXX was recorded at the 100th show of The Cramps’ 1986 Date With Elvis Tour. The album was originally released incognito in cahoots with Ace Records in 1987 as a fake “limited-edition import” bootleg LP, and was intended to compete with the glut of unofficial Cramps recordings. The woman you hear screaming throughout the first half actually fainted when she stopped screaming!
Included alongside other classic tune…
Leitmotiv
*200 copies limited edition* After a string of acclaimed albums, Maxine Funke should need little introduction. With Leitmotiv, she surprises us once again, this time with five quiet, soft yet haunting pieces that slowly reveal themselves. Her distinctive voice almost whispers its way through keyboard tones and field recordings, moving somewhere between silence and melody, intimacy and unease. While having a dip into a more experimental bath, Funke remains deeply connected to her folk tradition. …
The Walls Of The Temple Are Made Of Sound
On March 19th, 1999, legendary soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy played with his working trio at The Velvet Lounge at 2128 ½ S. Indiana Avenue in Chicago. Owned and operated by tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson, The Velvet Lounge was the central hub for adventurous jazz music in Chicago from 1993 until Fred passed in 2010. Music critic and journalist Peter Margasak previewed the concert in the alternative weekly Chicago Reader, and someone blew up a xeroxed copy of it that Lacy inscribed across the …
Destiada (Banda Sonora Original)
LP version. The 1984 soundtrack for dance-theater performance Destiada marked Pep Llopis’ debut score for avant-garde Valencian company Ananda Dansa, and initiated a creative partnership that would continue throughout the ensuing decades.The dance is structured as a lyrical fable about the struggle between life and death as seen through the crimson-tinted lens of the Spanish bullfighting tradition. Llopis and Vicent Alonso, a fellow Spanish composer, instrumentalist, and longtime collaborator, w…
The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (Original Score & Variations)
LP version. Composed for Werner Herzog's documentary The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (Die große Ekstase des Bildschnitzers Steiner, 1974), this previously unreleased score by the German musical collective Popol Vuh accompanies the extraordinary flights of Swiss ski flyer and woodcarver Walter Steiner. Internationally celebrated for his record-breaking ski flying in the 1970s, Steiner (born 1951) became a two-time world champion and earned the nickname "the bird man." Popol Vuh's ethereal…
First Meditations on John Coltrane
LP version. This album is a tribute to the person and spirit of John Coltrane. It was produced by musicians who not only admire Coltrane but embody similar values.While it’s always a good time to honor Coltrane’s memory, this particular moment seems to carry an increased urgency of remembering his message and mission.Since some owners of this amazing record may be unfamiliar with Coltrane’s character, it’s worthwhile to briefly state a few biographical details.First, Coltrane was a compassionate…
Portal
Long overdue reissue of the first Windy & Carl album and first ever vinyl pressing. Originally self-released by the duo as a cassette in 1994, Portal set the template for their singular sonic explorations to come.
“…ethereal soundscapes that will transport the listener to other plains of reality.” —Acid Test!
“Carl layers willowy guitar arpeggios, foggy keyboards, and chimes over Windy’s murmured intonations and rippling basswork. Everything sounds fresh and unaffected in the careful hands of th…
Overleaf
*150 copies limited edition* Overleaf is the new album by Paris-based musician Théo Martin, following Anti Atlas, released on Laaps two years ago. Overleaf was recorded over the course of a few intense months in 2026. Every recording made during this period eventually found its place within the album, transformed, fragmented and reassembled, sometimes far removed from its original form. The process gradually became a kind of puzzle, built from accumulated sounds, accidents and imperfections. Tap…
Nos Vemos El Próximo Año
Hell is empty and the salsa is all there is. Chúpame el Dedo are back! After years of terrorizing the avant-tropical underground with their manic, mock-satanic metal-cumbia madness, the legendary Bogotano duo of Eblis Álvarez and Pedro Ojeda have officially scrubbed the pentagrams off the drum kit. They aren’t worshipping the dark lord anymore; they've found a much more chaotic deity. Please lower your expectations and raise your instruments: Chúpame el Dedo are now officially Geobah Witnesses.
