Future Research Journal Entries (Part 1)
UK-based Inhmost (aka Simon Huxtable) makes his Past Inside the Present début with Future Research Journal Entries (Part I), a document of cosmic proportions that offers a journey through weightlessness or, according to the artist, “a time capsule from a forgotten generation of space travelers”. Many of Huxtable’s works, including the collaboration with ASC, The Moons of Saturn (2021), have touched on similar otherworldly themes, but Future Research offers a particular richness of vision that br…
Ghost
Ghost is the ninth studio album by New York-based Black Swan, who employs an arsenal of analog recording devices and methods to blur the line between reality and memory. Inspired by musique concrète, ambient, and dark drone traditions, the twenty pieces in this continuous suite capture the experiences of a spirit navigating the physical world it left behind.
The dimensions of each movement come from careful consideration of the overall narrative: some are brief vignettes, while others are given …
LL
2025 stock LL features two new arrangements by zakè. LL1 is a 21min. monolithic long-form piece, accompanied by From Overseas on guitar and bass. LL2 is an immersive, drone-laden piece that fuse field recordings and fragmented sound elements beautifully together. An incredible line-up of seven prolific producers completely reworked the two original arrangements. Bending the ambient genre to its limits, LL encompasses strokes of ambient, drone, drum & bass, electronica, and deep techno elements, …

Pathways
2025 stock 'Pathways' is a collection of four stunning loops created by the artist during an introspective period of his life. These majestic, consonant arrangements breathe slowly as fleetingly beautiful melodies; a gorgeous account of ebb and flow repetition.
Pathways is cautiously sanguine and equally melancholic of which many today can personally and intimately relate to. A universal desperation and yearning for hope in a dispirited civilization. - Pallette
The Best Driving Music In The World Ever
2025 stock "This all came together due to a bout of loneliness and depression that swept over me that Friday evening. Being lonely sometimes can render positive results, something I am learning. On my walk home, I decided to go and make a guitar-based record and not leave the house until it was done. I succeeded and this is what was made. This is not a one-off experiment, that will disappear a few weeks from now: This is my fifth solo full-length record. It is "canon", to quote film nerds. I hop…
Selections: Holographic Prism
2025 stock 'Holographic Prism' is the final chapter of The Sky Trilogy by Purl – a three chapter volume of works, exploring collective dreams of celestial origin.
"Every being on this planet lives with the infinite vastness above every day. We call it the sky, and we look to it for beauty, for solace, and perhaps for a moment forgetting about the details of our lives and just taking in the grandeur of it all.
Our collective consciousness contains countless stories about the origins of life and o…

Pulse 01 features brand new tracks by SYNE and Influx.
SYNE is Dennis Huddleston from the UK, who is most recognized for his ambient work as 36. He returns to his SYNE alias for…
From The End Of Time
Across the entirety of From the End of Time, the new album by Black Swan, an eerily desolate wind forms the base layer for swells of disembodied choirs, haunting piano, mangled tapes, and scores of other unplaceable, vividly textured sounds. According to the artist, its environment “is meant to evoke the aftermath of a collapsed society,” but does so while pulling every possible vestige of beauty from the ruins, with the reverent melancholy of a classical requiem.
Like previous album Ghost (2024…
Pulse 02
2025 stock 'PULSE 02' is the second installment of Past Inside the Present's 'Pulse' series. Pulse is an ongoing exploration of ambient tech, while offering a more structured display of beat-driven ambient music.

Keep Your Soul Young is built on a confident rawness and worldliness, influenced by Amparo’s upbringing in the American Southwest, subsequent years of international travel, and a life-changing love that led to he…
Wounds of Melody
*200 copies limited edition* Furtherset, the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi, debuts with his first album for Kohlhaas, the sixth in his career, 'Wounds of Melody'. A layered image of devastation and beauty, where Renaissance tears merge with the incandescence and violence of phosphorus, the artwork is the first encounter in the emotional itinerary that unfolds in the five tracks making up the LP. Over its forty-one minutes, the album's beatless but me…
Invictam
Invictam represents Olivia Font’s solo debut, an album co-produced with producer and composer Pedro Vian, set to be released in early 2025 under his label, Modern Obscure Music. This work explores themes of resilience and adaptation after loss, developing these ideas through a sonic journey that blends strings, analog synthesizers, electronics, and experimental percussion. The narrative is guided by a female voice, which, although not the central element, appears intermittently throughout the al…
Moko
*200 copies limited edition* TON is thrilled to present “Moko”, the eighth album by FourColor, the solo project of Keiichi Sugimoto. With a remarkable discography spanning labels like 12k and Apestaartje, FourColor has established itself as a master of blending processed and raw guitar chords, drones, synthesizers, and samplers into a warm, evocative, and deeply immersive sonic landscape. “Moko” continues this tradition, yet it also marks a new chapter in Sugimoto’s artistic journey.
The album’s…
Volta
*100 copies limited edition* Kurt Liedwart unveils his new label, TON, with the release of “Volta”, the inaugural album in a planned series of five.

For “Volta”, he revisits and reimagines sounds from his unreleased techno albums of the late 1990s, ble…
Postales
*110 copies limited edition* "For this new record I've been inspired by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Spain. These are 11 tracks where, like musical postcards, I've tried to reflect the beauty of the Irati Forest in Navarra, the Flysh of Zumaia in Gipuzkoa, the Albufera of Valencia, the Gorafe desert in Granada or the Somiedo natural park in Asturias, among other amazing places." - David Cordero
Orchadia
Ambient explorers SWIMS unpeel another heady debut, with the maiden effort by Korean artist Soo Kyung Kim, also known as soo:k. The curtain raises on Orchadia with an elysian glow: electro-acoustic compositions painting a golden topography of impossible fruit and uncanny astronomy. soo:k's utopic brushwork finds obvious comparisons in the work of Hiroshi Yoshimura, and his meditations on the glacial pace of hidden, verdant spaces. Frida Kahlo's portraits of everyday life, intertwined with pain a…
Me And The White Lash
2012 release ** Packaged in fabric sleeve. "Behind Me And The White Lash are Stefano De Ponti of Passo Uno and Eleonora Pellegrini. The project accentuates on one hand the ambient/soundtrack vocation of Passo Uno, on the other it merges it with more traditional forms, giving life to gentle and dry “songs”, almost folk one might write, during which you can appreciate Eleonora’s voice: the contemplative “The Island”, for example, not to mention a sorrowful “La Morte Del Tocco”. Part of this materi…
