Upcoming releases
Yerevan Nights (Soviet Armenian City Pop 1986-1992)
Available October 30th, 2026, this compilation pulls back the Iron Curtain to bring a bevy of physically unreleased music of Soviet-era Armenia. Songs that were exclusively broadcast on radio and television, stored on reel-to-reel tapes, and shelved in a government-owned vault alongside tens of thousands of various recordings by Armenian artists - all inaccessible to the public. Fully licensed from Public Radio of Armenia, with additional clearance from all composers or their living descendants …
Quiet Forest
"My encounter with the Hoh Rain Forest, located inside Olympic National Park across the water from Seattle, felt like seeing a whole new world for the first time in my life. Long green fronds draped along the branches, like a scene in which fairies could be heard whispering to one another. But when you try to listen, no sound can be heard. Amidst the mysterious silence, in which no birds or insects make a sound, every living thing seemed to have stopped in its place, only to start dancing when s…
Forest of Tranquility
When Japanese artist Masayoshi Fujita was invited to create the soundtrack for Expo 2025’s vast living nature installation, Forest of Tranquility, he immediately envisioned a relaxing public space in which visitors could tune out the noise and restore their energies. Inside this green open-air sanctuary – visited by millions of people during the landmark Osaka event, which ran for six months – stood a central pond and 1,500 real trees, all rescued and repurposed from Expo’s former ‘70 site and o…
Iron
Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…
Winterglare
Suspended somewhere between stillness and movement, Winterglare explores the fragile moments that exist beneath the surface: frozen landscapes, distant memories, quiet isolation, and the sudden brilliance of light reflected through the cold. The album unfolds as an immersive listening experience, inviting the audience into a world that feels both intimate and vast.
Rather than offering easy answers, Winterglare creates space for reflection. Its songs move through shadow and radiance, embracing c…
Machines: A History of Electronic Music (Book)
Jean-Michel Jarre's illustrated history of electronic music, built on his own collection of instruments: 150 machines from modular synths to one-off prototypes trace a century of electronic sound, with contributions from Vince Clarke, Gary Numan, Gillian Gilbert, Richie Hawtin and Hans Zimmer.
Home
The rat is back in the building due to circumstances beyond our control! “rat” is an electronic project born from the gutters of Brussels in 2024 by long-standing collaborators “neither” and “Milius.” After 15 years of hidden experiments they have been assembling a sonic language where glitch, ritualised circuitry and spectral noise merge. Originally released as a cassette on Futura, "home" now returns repressed on vinyl. Their debut unfolds as a labyrinth of disjointed rhythms, haunted textures…
Deceit
"From its word-playful title (Deceit / This Heat – say it aloud and twist your tongue) to the lyrics densely written on the back cover, This Heat's second album from 1981 is much more verbally direct than their largely instrumental 1979 debut. The group had things on their minds and statements they wanted to make.
"'The first album was about the Dread, but dread not really understood yet,' says Charles Hayward. 'With the second album, we were starting to understand what made us afraid. The whole…
Quiet Pieces
'Quiet Pieces' initiates Abul Mogard’s personal imprint Soft Echoes with a definitive self-portrait of calm, contemplative, and discreet inner landscapes made audible. It is the first solo album on vinyl in four years.
Communique
*300 copies limited edition* Salford Electronics abandon all art. Nine lo-fi electronic urban nightmares spiralling through Industrial decay, rain-drenched dark ambient, abrasive loops, brooding noise, and shards of scintillating electronics. The desire to communicate the disintegration of nocturnal sound. Evoking that moment in time when you have been up all night and the dawn ambience is about to break. A series of bad dreams.
These works were created over the last decade and originally self-r…
Öppet Fyra
In close collaboration with musician Mats Gustafsson and jazz archivist Roger Bergner at the Centre for Swedish Folk Music & Jazz Research, Caprice presents a relatively unexplored period of Scandinavian creative and experimental music from the 1960s and 70s. In the record series Öppet, we look towards the future by digging in the past. We find exclamation points of creativity from a period that, in many ways, was a time of pioneering in art as well as music. Anything was possible, and we like t…
Metamusik Festival Berlin ‘74 Vol.II
Black Truffle is thrilled to announce a second volume of unheard concert performances from legendary Pakistani kyhal singer Salamat Ali Khan, recorded at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie as part of the MetaMusik festival in 1974. Like the first volume, the immaculate recording by Michael Hönig (of krautrock legends Agitation Free) captures Khan performing a single extended raag in the company of Shaukat Hussein Khan on tabla and Hussein Bux Khan on harmonium. In addition to his stunningly inventive…
Elbow Deep In The Hoopla
Dark Entries is Elbow Deep in the Hoopla thanks to J.D. Slater. Legendary actor, director, and composer J.D.

A true polymath of the erotic, he co-founded Raging Stallion Studios with Chris Ward in 1999, which has remained a prolific outlet in the world of gay pornography. Elbow Deep collects the scores from three…

Bugs
*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by macro photography, field recordings and the hidden world of insects, "Bugs" explores the fragile boundary between nature and electronics. Built through instinctive improvisations with analog synthesizers, acoustic instruments, drum machines and environmental recordings, the album unfolds as a collection of immersive sonic landscapes suspended between twilight and darkness. Rather than describing the natural world, "Bugs" magnifies it, transforming tiny mo…
