Upcoming releases
Sanctioned Departures
On Sanctioned Departures, William Selman lets two rainforests - Pacific Northwest and Costa Rica - compose themselves, braiding tidal lagoons, primates, saunas and street sweepers into humid, borderless environments where categories dissolve like shorelines under floodwater.
Sumatra Method
On Sumatra Method, Émile Zener (aka Gunnar Haslam) rebuilds 1950s–60s Indonesia as a haunted acoustic system, where Cold War proxy battles, propaganda and terror flicker through unstable drones, VHS detritus and spliced testimonies.
Chandler and Dickow Play Fisher
On Chandler and Dickow Play Fischer, David Chandler and Paul Dickow treat Marcus Fischer’s graphic scores as a lab problem rather than a script, using tracing paper, chalk, piezo styli, EEG data and a 1970s modular synth to probe what it means to “play” an image without simply projecting themselves onto it.
Mount Mansfield
On Mount Mansfield, Sam Boston and Shawn O’Sullivan turn a Vermont peak into both instrument and score, binding bent lapsteel and analog feedback into a slow‑growing, topographic drone where static contour becomes living, verdant resonance.
Dreaming With The Lights On
Tip! You’re approaching the region where gravity feels tampered with; “Dreaming With The Lights On” is to drift into a zone where bodies and objects appear to have slipped into a dream’s editing room and reassembled themselves according to priorities still unfamiliar. The music begins long before the sound does—inside a suspended brightness, a sky that hums with the possibility of transformation. The listener’s mind becomes a surface onto which impossible gestures imprint themselves: limbs blend…
The Kármán Line
When musicians are on tour, conversations naturally turn to music. Two years ago, whilst exploring the jazz kissas and record stores of Tokyo, woodwind maestro Chip Whickham and ATA mastermind and bassist Neil Innes discussed their shared influences of Yusef Lateef, David Axelrod and Alice Coltrane. Sounds and concepts percolated, and before long, both musicians were back in Leeds with The Lewis Express to record material for what would become Doo - Ha! (2025).
The compositions for this album we…
Something to Remember
"Something to Remember" marks a significant new chapter for pianist and composer Juan J. Ochoa, exploring the intimate territories between acoustic and electronic sound worlds. Through prepared piano, traditional piano, and subtle electronic processing, Ochoa crafts a deeply personal sonic meditation that bridges experimental technique with emotional immediacy. The album showcases his distinctive approach to the instrument—treating the piano not just as a melodic or harmonic device, but as a com…
Mattias De Craene & Black Koyo
With Black Koyo, Mattias De Craene enters a sound world at once intimate and vast. Born from journeys in Morocco and Brussels, the project traces the rhythms, chants, and spirits of the Gnawa tradition, revealing a quiet resonance that echoes De Craene’s own search for depth and presence. Guibri, qraqueb, call-and-response chants, saxophone, loops, and electronics come together in a trance-induced dialogue — ritualistic, elemental, and dreamlike — creating a space where listening becomes immersi…
Manhattan Baby
During an expedition in Egypt, young Susie receives a mysterious amulet that carries an ancient curse. Back in New York, the girl becomes the conduit for dark forces that begin to invade the city, dragging her family into a nightmare of disappearances and supernatural phenomena. Only by uncovering the origin of the amulet will they have a chance to break the spell. New Fully Restored HD Version.
Legendary composer Fabio Frizzi returns to haunt and mesmerize with the reissue of Manhattan Baby, th…
Silence is a Sharpened Blade / Ashes / The End Site / A Pearl in the Jaw / Flautas Ahogadas para Jacobo Grinberg
*75 copies limited edition*
DNZ122 Drew Wesely – Silence is a Sharpened Blade
Silence is a Sharpened Blade speaks in the language of materiality — a stripped bare mantra of nylon and wood conjures unspoken and veiled interiors, channeling the intimacy of a single guitar alone in a room. Silence is a mirror, a shadow, an absence. It speaks when words fail in the poetry of negative numbers. Where do we go when the lights burn out? What is beauty in hell? What can pierce a heart of stone? Silence i…
Web Of Midnight
*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…
Wheel of life
*300 copies limited edition* Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist Tomo, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation. Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. Tomo’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and re…
Jugatsu no Ame
*300 copies limited edition* A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito who spent their days rehearsing in a decrepit abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji Record imprint, most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further adding to the record’s mystique. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock act…

Lebur - Lebur Kaphungaan
The Swallows were one of Singapore's standout bands of the 1960s, rising from the explosive Pop Yeh-Yeh movement, the regional response to the global beat-band wave, with strong garage-rock roots. Fusing surf rock, early Beatles-inspired pop, and gritty, fuzz-laden guitars with a distinctly local sensibility, they became youth icons of the era. Defined by sharp suits, infectious melodies, and a rebellious spark, The Swallows captured the restless energy of post-independence Singapore, securing t…
The Heart Is a Lotus
On The Heart Is A Lotus, The Michael Garrick Sextet with Norma Winstone trace a quietly radical path through British jazz: modal, spiritual and poetically inclined, with Winstone’s voice drifting inside the ensemble like vapor rather than standing in front of it.
The Smoke
On The Smoke, The Smoke condense 1968’s lysergic optimism into a single, ornate LP, fusing sunshine pop hooks, baroque arrangements and studio playfulness into a seamless, dream‑like suite rather than a conventional rock album.
Jeita ou Murmure des Eaux
A cornerstone of the acousmatic tradition, finally on vinyl. François Bayle's Jeîta ou Murmure des Eaux arrives as a limited LP via Recollection GRM and Shelter Press - one of the composer's most singular and spatially ambitious works, composed in the wake of a concert given at the Jeita Grotto in Lebanon in 1969, where Bayle had traveled to mark the opening of the cave's newly discovered upper gallery. Bayle joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in 1960, studying under Pierre Schaeffer and …
Music With Changing Parts
Philip Glass, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself. Music With Changing Parts was the inaugural release on his own Chatham Square imprint in 1971. At this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass' first opera, was still five years away. Yet in Changing Parts, one can already hear much of his vocabulary in full bloom: the buoyant arpeggios, the melding of electronic and acoustic instruments, the…
Ritual Riots
With Ritual Riots, Stéphane Hoareau delivers a deeply rooted work in créolité, conceived as a force of unity, resistance, and transmission. A guitarist from Réunion Island and a key figure in the emergence of contemporary global music scenes, Hoareau continues his commitment to revitalizing maloya - transforming it with boldness and creativity into a living, open, and contemporary heritage.
Through his collective projects and radical approach to musical ritual, he develops an aesthetic where tra…
