Upcoming releases

"I first knew of Darren through his earlier band Gerling, who were an inspiration to me at a time when I was absorbing new sounds, genre experimentation and discovering the broader world at large. In recent years we’ve come to know each other and become friends, as our musical paths have in many ways aligned. Darren’s D.C Cross solo/‘ecstatic' guitar project is responsible for some of the finest current wave of that form of music going around and it’s been a pleasure hearing the project develop …

"For those of us who inhabit worlds that sit in-between other worlds, this music making thing can be strange. The work of Matt Rosner sits in parallel to that of my own. We have a shared expression and a continued practice in listening and looking. Images, landscapes and our surroundings are translated into sounds, emotions and feelings. They are often built in solitude and created through lost moments, captured air or fragmented tonalities that have run adrift in our subconscious. To put it sim…

Sisonke Xonti is a celebrated South African jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. Originally from Cape Town, he relocated to Johannesburg where he deeply immersed himself in the local jazz scene, collaborating with esteemed artists like Nduduzo Makhathini, Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela, Herbie Tsoaeli, and Zim Ngqawana. 6 years later, Sisonke is back with a powerfull album ‘”uKholo” with Shane Cooper on double bass, Yonela Mnana on piano and vocals, Ayanda Sikade on drums, Keenan Ahrends…

*2026 repress!!!* Oh yes! First ever official reissue of the positively sublime and very rare Butterfly LP, recorded in Tokyo in 1979 by Japanese songstress Kimiko Kasai and jazz legend Herbie Hancock. Due to its super-rare status as a Japan-only release, this exquisite collection of covers never got the recognition it deserved at the time, despite incredibly inspired performances from Kimiko, Herbie and the supremely talented musicians assembled for the project. From heavenly drummer Alphonse M…

A new release from the back alleys of Tokyo."Prior to the vinyl release of the debut work “Vapor Curve”, which suffered a one-year delay due to manufacturing errors, the release of the mini-album “grainy film” has been confirmed." Following the artist's previous release, this album completely eschews the use of computer-based DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software. By relying exclusively on a strictly limited setup of hardware—synthesizers, samplers, and delay units—the artist pursues a meticu…

In The Juniper Tree, an interrelationship between the ethereal and terrestrial seems to cloak the ever-present Icelandic landscape. The film, written and directed by Nietzchka Keene in 1986 and released in 1990, is disbelieving of binaries such as life and death, natural and supernatural, stillness and unrest. It is perhaps best known as the genesis point for Björk’s career as an actor, but in its compelling feminist retelling of the Brothers Grimm story of the same name it recasts tropes of wit…

Mikkel Rev returns to A Strangely Isolated Place with Evocation, his third full-length album shaped deep within the forests of Norway.

Twenty-five years on, Warp returns Aphex Twin's Drukqs to physical formats. Thirty tracks across a hundred minutes: prepared piano miniatures, drill'n'bass with the brakes cut, musique concrète, a voicemail from his parents. The last gap in the vinyl discography, closed.

If you don't know 'Clouds' then, quite naturally, you'd have to be living underground. The work of Venetian composer Gigi Masin went mostly ignored until Music From Memory's early-2010s reissue campaign pulled him and his ingenious ambient works out of the murk, among which many salvages include his now calling-card, 'Clouds'. Re-pressed astonishingly through P-Vine of all labels, this soul-quelling masterwork - first recorded in 1989 for a split release with Charles Hayward and mostly forgotten…

Maciej Envee Goliński is an artist who probably needs no introduction. He has been working with U Know Me practically since the label's inception. His last album ("Time & Light") made a huge impact worldwide, but we had to wait eight years for the next vinyl release. In the meantime, Maciej has certainly been busy – he has released numerous club singles under several aliases, and has helped record and mix numerous albums from the world of jazz, soul, and electronica. "Wyszymory" is a carefully c…

The terms “nursery rhymes” and “children’s songs” may give rise to visions of idyllic innocence and the charms of childhood, but Play Nursery Rhymes and Children's Songs by Tokiyo Ooto & Orhythmo, their first release on EM Records, brings forth quite different aural imagery: this is an eerie and unsettling sonic picture book which hints at the darkness and mystery which form the hidden heart of many traditional songs and rhymes. The length of the songs provides a hint: each piece delves deeply i…

None More Records present Weathered People, the second album on NMR from experimental singer-songwriter Joe Woodham. Building and evolving from his previous record Worldwide Weather, Weathered People was inspired by a continuing fascination with the weather and pondering on the effect it has on us collectively. The album explores themes of psychology, wellbeing, spirituality, geology and deep time whilst always trying to be grounded and rooted by nature. Inspired by the space and depth of compos…

Brighton artist and producer Stephen Maskell - moonlighting as Violet Cowboy - returns with an epic sixth release on Kit Records. Ramraid at the Wiggly Worm finds the sonic sculptor in playful mood, thumbing the flipbook through mulchy blues guitar, gothic storytelling, elasticated dub and gossamerlike classical minimalism. Maskell's flow state seems to exist in the pocket where genres meld, and no sound is safe or sacred. His archive slops like a bargain bin of British culture, topped up on gle…

Buenos Aires composer Ignacio Sandoval, aka YOTO, returns to London's Kit Records with a new album of dismantled Argentinian folk music. Taking root at the border between Latin American folk tradition and the kiln of Buenos Aires' distinctly bustling experimental arts scene, Ciprés is a loose-limbed collection of elegiac storytelling. Guitar remains at the heart of YOTO's practice; each piece on Ciprés began life as a miniature improvisation, recorded in real time then gently adorned with splint…

Violeta García and Hora Lunga return with 4ever, their second album and the follow-up to I’ll Wait For You In The Car Park. Released in 2025 on -ous, their debut received airplay on BBC and NTS and was selected for Bandcamp’s Best Experimental Music year-end list. 4ever picks up where that record left off: in ordinary moments, small scenes and the strange emotional weight of being somewhere between places. But here, these moments are stretched across a much larger, darker screen. A night flight,…

The hardcore noise improvisation duo featuring Martin Escalante, a ferocious noise saxophonist from Mexico, and Tatsuya Yoshida will release a CD featuring the complete recordings of their live performances in Kobe and Okayama from their previous 2025 tour, to coincide with their second Japan tour this August!

*2026 repress!!!* What an unbelievable record. From the wild cover to the iconic breakbeats, Roots from Ian Carr’s Nucleus is one of the dopest albums we know. This is seriously thick, funky-prog jazz-rock heaven. Originally released on Vertigo in 1973, other than a couple of versions at the time for other territories, Roots was never re-pressed since so it’s gone on to become another one of those impossible to find records. Maybe it was a little too out there for the time, but it’s aged very, v…

Tip! The most beautiful thing we’ve ever released? It is virtually impossible to describe with mere words how emotionally powerful this work of art is. Just listen. Listen, listen, listen... A blissed-out 80-minute epic, Hatchback's Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is his magnum opus, a sprawling masterwork that encompasses ambient, new age and environmental music to wondrous effect. Moving, hypnotic and deeply meditative, it's FFO Mike Brooks, Deuter, Klaus Weiss, Innovative Communicat…

*50 copies limited edition* In December 2025, I performed alongside Asmus Tietchens and Jetzmann at the final Hörbar Ausklang Festival. This cassette was produced for that occasion. It contains preliminary studies for my live modular synthesiser performance. The tape wasn't sold on the night, and its release ended up being postponed until now. At one point I had almost forgotten that I had even produced it. Now it's finally here—but what does that change?  The title Miszellen Band is derived fro…

Black Vinyl. American experimental composer Stephen O'Malley releases Avaeken, two sides of immense, immersive, self-annihilating music via Dais Records. The record preserves site-specific work: O'Malley installed Avaeken as part of Wish You Were Here, the exhibition by renowned American artist Banks Violette, underscoring the tension between presence and absence, life and loss. O'Malley and Violette have developed a distinct language of sound, space, and sculpture over the past two decades, rev…
