Reissues
Star Rover
Visionary Walter Maioli and electronic innovator John Zandijik’s 1980s late-night sessions fuse ancient flutes and cutting-edge technology, creating a cosmic soundscape that bridges ethnomusicology, psychedelia, and electronic experimentation.
Mingus Dinasty
Recorded in jazz’s golden year of 1959, Mingus Dynasty is often overshadowed by Mingus Ah Um, but it stands as one of Charles Mingus’ most ambitious works. Expanding his regular band with additional players, he pushed his compositions into more intricate territory. With a lineup featuring Richard Williams, Jimmy Knepper, John Handy, Booker Ervin, Roland Hanna, and Dannie Richmond—plus guests like Benny Golson and Jerome Richardson—Mingus crafted a dynamic set blending gospel-infused grooves (Slo…
The Composer Of Desafinado, Plays
Antonio Carlos Jobim’s first American album is a masterpiece of understated elegance, presenting a dozen songs that would become bossa nova standards. Despite claiming to be out of practice, Jobim’s sparse, single-hand piano style lets his flowing melodies shine. Claus Ogerman’s signature arrangements—airy flutes, brooding strings, and lush harmonies—enhance timeless gems like Desafinado, Corcovado, The Girl from Ipanema, and One Note Samba. A defining moment in bossa nova’s global ascent.

Recognized by the New York Film Critics Circle as the best foreign language film, 8½ remains a cinematic masterpiece, complemented by Rota’s unforgettable score.
Dame Café
“Dame café”, originally released on Discos Fuentes in 1965 to meet the tropical music demand of the time, features a mix of traditional rhythms like vallenato and cumbia, alongside more experimental beats. Los Gavilanes de la Costa, the band behind this album, had a brief existence but left a lasting impact, especially in Mexico's sonidero scene.
Over the years, pirate editions and elusive original copies have made it a highly sought-after collector’s item. The album’s lively sound, combining ac…

The explosive collection of improvised free-jazz with spoken word accompaniment was born after the group's initial meeting at a Musicians Against Police Bruta…
Chicago Waves
The 2018 live performance captured on Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s 'Chicago Waves' marked a beautiful turning point for International Anthem. The moment was recorded at our then-HQ in Chicago, Co-Prosperity, the day after Niño and Atwood-Ferguson performed as part of Makaya McCraven’s ensemble to celebrate the release of 'Universal Beings' and recreate their contributions to that album's “Los Angeles Side."
The two musicians were keen to use their time in Chicago to not only support Ma…
The New Breed
Jeff Parker’s 2016 album The New Breed was a turning point for both Parker and International Anthem, changing the trajectory of his solo career as well as drawing an abundance of attention to our fresh imprint despite our then very limited catalog. Most importantly though, the album is the first to give voice to Parker’s wholly unique take on sample-based beat construction augmented by improvisation and live instrumentation (performed in this case by the high-level crew of Paul Bryan on bass, Jo…

Plays Hallucination
2025 stock Los Angeles, not unlike other great cities such as Detroit, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, has given birth to and nurtured many great musicians. One of those young, versatile musicians Los Angeles has produced was Wayne Powell. In High School he played percussion & tuba in the concert band, later he switched to baritone horn. Shortly after Wayne heard Lionel Hampton play vibraphone at the Paramount Theater in downtown Los Angeles, he purchased his own set of vibes. In 1965, Wayn…
No Pussyfooting
2025 stock In August 1972 King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp was producing some material for Robert Wyatt. Brian Eno - then a member of Roxy Music, came to the studio to add synth to the same sessions. Fripp and Eno found common cause. The 21 minutes piece of music that resulted, 'The Heavenly Music Corporation' became one of the most significant and influential pieces of electronic music ever recorded. The other track on the album 'Swastika Girls' was not recorded until over a year later in au…
Moonmadness
2025 stock Moonmadness was originally released in March 1976. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental The Snow Goose in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The tracks that comprised the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; Air Born about Andrew Latimer, Lunar Sea about Andy Ward, Chord Change…
Condizione Umana
A long-lost gem of Italian library music, Condizione Umana by Rino De Filippi is a hypnotic journey through jazzy sketches, intimate atmospheres, and avant-garde experimentation.

Chinese Restaurant
*2025 repress* Spittle Records presents a reissue of Chinese Restaurant by Italian new wave duo Chrisma, originally released in 1977. The album was recorded between London and Milano during the second half of 1977, and the results were something like post-punk. More in the direction of bands such as Ultravox, The Stranglers, and Suicide than the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, due to the use of electronic keyboards, obsessive rhythms, tense harmonies, and scratching vocals emerging from generally d…
Belly Up
You Never End is the third album from Valentina Magaletti, Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews (Moin) out via AD 93 on the 25th October. Its title alone expresses the teetering and shifting nature of both the album and band. This record marks the Moin’s shift into a new phase with vocal collaborations across the album from Olan Monk, james K, Coby Sey and Sophia Al-Maria.
The album’s collaborators all have voices that are alluring in their own right whilst hard to pin down: from james K’s ethereal, rev…
Black Antlers
Dais reissues Coil's seminal Black Antlers, the group's final studio masterpiece completed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson after Jhonn Balance's passing. A vital document of the group's final creative surge - where live energy, poetic mysticism and digital experimentation reached their apex.
Cortex
For the first time on vinyl a collection of tracks by Cortex, Alain Neffe (Bene Gesserit, Insane Music) experimental spoken-word project originally released on tape in 1984. Cortex was never intended to be a conventional musical project. From the very beginning it was centered around free live performances. These encounters were stripped down and highly visual: Alain Neffe constructed a trapezoidal fluorescent white screen lit by black light. The narrator—la récitante—was only illuminated in the…
