Punish The Guilty (2CDr)
2008 release ** "The way we perceive sound geography can depend on many factors, being them a recollection of visited places, a fantasy journey or the sheer appreciation of a work made by other visitors; in that sense, I:Wound’s double CD is one of the best collages of local recordings and electronic splicing that I can name right now. The whole set revolves around loops and cut’n’paste memories of Indian sources, from radio and public gathering noise to praying chants and children playing, all …

Zep Tepi
"The duo of Samantha Flowers and Tyler Hicks have been perfecting their dulcet tones for over ten years now. Combining, as if in a cauldron, blender, or analogous mixing device equal parts Detroit basement blues, Wackie's style studio murk magic and an old hard drive packed to the brim with Mutant Sounds downloads, they have managed something truly rare in this most dismal of decades: sonics recognizably their own.
These Kosmischen Kuriere also excel at another uncommon trait given time/place, r…

In Different Rooms
In early spring 2023, with the end of Covid-19 in China, MK helped produce this album for Rubey. Focusing on the piano atmosphere and framework of the Night Piano Project, MK added some flowing sounds and textures to Rubey's original tracks using a guitar, delay effects, and a synthesizer. At the same time, Ding Mao, another member of the band Hualun, contributed on two tracks. Of course, all production processes were completed at night; capturing the quiet atmosphere of traditional Eastern natu…
Cordial
On ‘Cordial’, Ursula Sereghy traces the sensation of home; not as a place, but as something fleeting and deeply felt. Comfort appears in glimpses, nestled between moments of dissonance and unraveling structure. There is joy, but it carries the weight of absence, the quiet grief of realizing what was missing all along. A laughter that is both liberating and bittersweet.
Sereghy’s music moves with no fixed center, shedding hierarchies and opening itself to the unknown. Sounds unravel and reform: f…
Midnight in Tokyo Vol.4
Tsunaki Kadowaki curates the fourth installment of Midnight in Tokyo, themed around Ambient Kayō. The Midnight in Tokyo series by Studio Mule focuses on Japanese music, serving as a soundtrack for Tokyo nights -- whether for home listening, club play, or as a driving BGM, transcending location and space. The fourth volume takes "Ambient Kayō" as its new perspective, compiling genre-defying tracks released between 1977 and 1999 to explore the intersection of Japanese ambient and pop music. The fo…

Antimother
2003 release ** ""Anti Mother is a follow-up from Czech ambient-industrial pioneers The Three, whose works foresaw and predestined the musical algorithms and the development the Czech industrial scene. After their last studio session in 1995, which resulted in seven compositions that blazed the trail later walked by such artists as Steve Roach or Yen Pox, Project the Three’s activity was frozen. After eight years of hibernation they have metamorphosized into Anti Mother.""
Phlegmaticus
1999 release ** "Maurizio Pustianaz is the mentor of Gerstein a one-man sound project that from the mid-80s to the end of the 90s, was creating authentic underground electronic gems. Already in the new century, Pustianaz opted for the most bland and commercial electro, something that he has been doing until now, a real shame. This is his most experimental stage, where he took risks with dense atmospheres, dark electronic sounds, tape treatment, etc... Re-issue of his first cassette released by t…
Thinking Dust
2005 release ** "After a few CD-R releases, Wolfram's "first real album", released by the newly established Monotype label from Warsaw. "Thinking Dust" develops and exceeds the ideas from "Atol Drone" and "Mind Locations" released over the years - a very personal, calm, but also subconsciously disturbing variety of ambient. Wolfram never explored the sounds of "post-club" or naive el-music, so his work has always been free from rainbow idyll, instead it was disturbing (without evoking ghosts or …
Cavitation
2005 release ** "The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it’s going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instru…
../Requiem
2004 release ** "Andrea Resch was one of the two members of the legendary Mynox Layh. "Requiem" is a genuinely unusual, sinister work of morbid atmospheres... disorienting as though waking from a nightmare. Immense, striding, sumptuous string arrangements create a majestic and inspiring atmosphere. A highly recommended "opera" in vein of In The Nursery and old Laibach. There are no other words which could possibly describe the endless feeling of the album. This remastered edition features four b…
Cyber Totem
2007 release ** "Marek Styczyński uses technical achievements to create folk, ethnic music of various kinds - both in recording "in the field", in the studio, and in computer processing. He effectively transfers the world forgotten and rejected by pop culture into the digital sphere, processing it a lot. He writes: "I used sounds as the initial building block for designing sound environments and I completely processed some of them, moving them significantly away from the original". He uses many …
