*200 copies limited edition* 'The late 70s, early 80s, that fierce period of time was all about wearing one mask after another, as we experimented, evolved. After the riot of Punk Rock back in '76 /'77, which certainly taught us all a lesson, so many of us lurched back to Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, at London's one-nighters for the new breed of arbiters of taste, where the soundscape of early synth was such a contrast to what was on offer on the gay scene back then. Clubland was becoming a hiv…

On Le Carnaval Perdu, Elizabeth Vogler turns voice, shruti-box drones and electroacoustic transformations into a personal folklore. Invented languages meet Béarnais lyrics; echoes of celebration flicker through dense sonic layers. Drawing on pop, bal folk and Bulgarian polyphony, the album makes carnival a threshold between communal ecstasy and loss.

*50 copies limited edition* Named after the "Black Tide" (Kuroshio), the North Pacific ocean current that carries warm tropical waters along Japan’s eastern coast, the album translates large-scale oceanic circulation into an uninterrupted, slowly evolving sonic journey. Rather than relying on abrupt transitions, Kuroshio unfolds with glacial momentum through layered micro-textures, deep tonal resonance, and fluid harmonic drift. The Kuroshio current is an immense kinetic mass moving without disr…

Vilhelm Bromander returns to Warm Winters Ltd. with his second album written for an extended woodwind ensemble. For those uninitiated, 2022's 'Aurora' was a collection of pieces Bromander wrote for an ensemble of friends, most of whom were playing on instruments unfamiliar to them. 'Aurora II' builds on the last album, but the ensemble of friends grew, and so did the sound, which has evolved into a deeper, more expansive one. Each of the compositions has it’s own attunement space which invites t…

Music history wasn't written solely by the major record labels. Beyond the charts, a vibrant scene of independent musicians, producers, and small labels emerged in the 1960s and 70s, whose recordings are now among the most fascinating discoveries in the history of soul, funk, and R&B. Often with no prospect of commercial success, they created their music with remarkable determination-uncompromisingly and on their own terms. For many of these artists, this was the only way. They founded their own…

Sucata Tapes and Annihaya proudly present Delia, the hypnotic new album by Munda (Selu Herraiz), following up on foundational explorations of ritual and territorial memory. Recorded in September 2021 during a residency at Konvent—an old convent set within an abandoned industrial colony in Cal Rosal, deep in the lower Catalan Pyrenees—Delia is forged from the physical ghosts of a former textile factory.
