Morgenmusiken
On Morgenmusiken, Green Cosmos expand their small‑town German jazz into a quietly epic, Coltrane‑lit cosmos, braiding modal vamps, Indian classical colour and spacious free improvisation into seven meditative journeys where silence and a single note …
Dogon A.D.
One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s - finally on vinyl in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing…
Kids Mysteries

Scumbag
Bones returns with Scumbag, a stripped-back, lo-fi record that distills his bleak vision into its rawest form. With skeletal beats, muffled samples, and whispered delivery, he crafts a shadowy atmosphere that's equal parts haunting and hypnotic. Know…
Way Down
Originally released as a small run cassette in 1987, only to fall into tape label obscurity, Robert Turmans industrial genre-bending masterpiece album Way Down finally has been excavated for a proper vinyl reissue after twenty-three years in the shad…
Wild West
