Seven Dances To Embrace The Hollow
On their debut album Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow, Zurich-based artists Magda Drozd and Nicola Genovese, as Sopraterra, offer exactly what’s announced: seven compositions which, as they unhurriedly flow into each other, mark potential entry points to discover what might be lying underneath. By choosing Sopraterra, which translates to “above the earth” in Italian, as their shared project’s name, Drozd and Genovese indicate their own position in this archeological-looking endeavor, hinting a…
A Replica Screams
Welcoming elusive Japanese guitarist, Kouhei Fukuzumi, for his 3rd solo full-length as Ultrafog. ‘A Replica Screams’ emerges as a collection of drifting memories, a chain reaction of unique combinations of elements already present in the World. It embraces the idea that existence itself is positively shaped by serendipity and meaningful coincidences, and that we are all falling together, in time, and on time. The vinyl edition contains an original artwork poster presenting João Bragança Gil’s ‘T…
Cantus for Winter in Six Parts
zakè’s deep attachment to the seasons of the Midwest, along with his intuitive approach to sound creation, has led to a deep and varied body of analog ambient drone recordings across the past ten years. Many of his albums take on the forms and colors of the space in which they are heard, but others convey something more fleeting and indefinable, far beyond the five senses. Cantus for Winter in Six Parts creates a space for comfort, contemplation, nostalgia, and longing; a moment of stillness tha…
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel II
*2025 stock* 36 and Zake follow up the epic work of Stasis Sounds For Long Distance Space Travel Part 1 with another eighteen chapters "of aural anesthetics" which "continue their journey through the outer reaches of space in hypersleep." The album comes in different coloured versions and this yellow copy boasts the sort of grainy and immersive ambient that immediately takes you out into the farthest reaches of space. It's widescreen and cinematic and makes for the sort of journeying album that …
Strega III: Dianus Of Doorways
"New York’s Salvatore Mercatante arrives on LOTO with a record that is more menacing whisper than blood-curdling scream. ‘Stega III: Dianus Of Doorways’ is the final part of his trilogy based on the Italian dreamwalking spirits, the Benandanti. The after-dark adventures of a coven of young witches are drawn out in Salvatore’s growling synths, rattling drum patterns, purring basslines and shimmering modules. It’s proper moody gear, nocturnal creepers that’ll tap you on the shoulder in the dead of…
The White Edition
FRQNCY LDN, the new project from Alex Lavery and James Ford (producer du jour and one half of Simian Mobile Disco), recently announced their debut album ‘The White Edition’ is arriving on 5 September via PRAH Recordings. The album is built from a live set at St Matthias Church in Hackney, recorded in 2024. Initially conceived as a live project with earlier performances at churches in London and at Glastonbury, FRQNCY LDN’s music is a mix of strings, gongs, oscillators, FX, and spoken word, and t…
Keyboard Suite II
Suite II in the series expands upon their established pallet, integrating more field recordings and studio processing to their dulcet keyboard melodies. As a storm approaches from the distance - keyboards saturated by tape into distortion, bursts of noise from idiosyncratic electronics, aleatoric stuttering - MARV grants us an album’s worth of sonic sublimation.
Melatonia
*300 copies limited edition* Melatonia marks the seventh full-length release from the drone duo Pausal, celebrated for their work on labels including Barge Recordings, Students of Decay, Own Records, Dronarivm, and Infraction. Beyond their collaborative output, Alex has released extensively under his Olan Mill moniker, as well as under his own name, while Simon’s solo work has appeared on Hibernate Records.
The album emerged during a period of transition and upheaval for both members, dividing t…
In Four Parts
*300 copies limited edition* The transoceanic partnership of 36 (UK) and Black Swan (US) yielded one of Past Inside The Present’s first truly essential releases in 2019, just a year into the label’s existence. In Four Parts succinctly establishes a beautiful but shadowy gravitas that is core to the PITP catalog, and that each artist has explored throughout successive releases in numerous, genre-defining ways. We are proud to present a limited, black vinyl reissue of this long-out-of-print suite …
Stars And Silence
*100 coipes limited edition* Five years after their landmark début, Mirrored (ZDR, 2020), Drew Sullivan (Slow Dancing Society) and Zach Frizzell (zakè) present Stars & Silence, a double album that invites internal exploration and deep meditation with its fluid blend of rich ambience, hypnotic IDM, and melodic finesse. “Everything we do is about reconnecting with the resonance and energy that we are made from,” Sullivan states, and in each of the album’s passages, we feel the pulse of an expandin…
Pomegranates
It's been 10 years since Pomegranates - Nicolás Jaar's unofficial/alternative soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's 1969 film The Color of Pomegranates - was first released, and to highlight this occasion we are reissuing the album on vinyl, with the first edition (a collaboration with the label Mana) having long been out of print.
Longer and slower-releasing than his other albums, Pomegranates often parallels the cinematic epic on which it’s based, with ideas pursued over long timelines and across d…
Emo Inhaler
Roman Hiele (1991) is a Brussels-based musician and composer whose work explores the boundaries between improvisation and electronic composition. His music unfolds as a living system of shifting harmonies, fractured rhythms, and unexpected turns. At the core of Hiele’s practice lies a deep fascination for contrast, where his soundscapes act as both anchor and disruption, sharpening the emotional depth of images and spaces, a sensibility that extends into his collaborations with filmmakers, visua…
The Secret Garden
2025 stock Protein, registered in every day life as tax payer Tobias Laemmert, released his first official studio album "Süss" in 2001. Mathias Modica, the Gomma label boss, heard Protein's tape by chance during a taxi ride and instantly offered him a contract.
In the here and now Protein sends out sonic distortions into the intermediate world of instrumental music. Whether digital or analogue – his minimalist sound collages and their accurately adjusted de- and reconstructions, broken rhythms a…
Warm Former
2025 stock Los Angeles-based duo Sana Shenai began in 2009 when their Dublab radio-affiliated ambient quintet Golden Hits went on hiatus. Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, The Postal Service) and Mitchell Brown (LAFMS, Sun Araw, Sissy Spacek) have since amassed a mountain of material culled from 10 years of home recording. In late 2018 the 5-song digital EP "Forewarm" was released by Leaving Records, which now joins seven other pieces on this physical debut double LP for Les Albums Claus, "Warm Forever".…
Terra Nova
Tempo Livre is a collaboration between Pedro Tavares (funcionário) and Luís Neto, where progressive rock, ambient folk, experimental electronics, and pop intertwine in compositions that explore themes of memory, fear, and transformation. The album Terra Nova is a sonic journey divided into nine tracks that drift between ethereal passages and rhythmic explosions, where the delicacy of traditional acoustic instruments like santur, nyckelharpa, and duduk contrasts with eclectic drums, elastic bassl…
The Trail of Genghis Khan
**2025 Stock** The album The Trail of Genghis Khan, made by Cye Wood in collaboration with Lisa Gerrard is now officially released on vinyl by Infinite Fog Productions. Sourced from material that Lisa and Cye produced for the documentary series of the same name, The Trail of Genghis Khan is an emotive interpretation of Tim Cope’s epic journey on horseback from Mongolia to Hungary (on which the documentary is based). Drawing on inspiration from this rugged and majestic landscape and the culture …
Glide
**2025 Stock** The Fact of Being are happy to inform about the second step in a series of reissues of early works by Peter Davison. The long-awaited re-edition of a highly acclaimed and innovative album "Glide" 1981 to celebrate its 40th anniversary. "Glide" was the second artist's album. Released in 1981 on vinyl and urgently repressed in 1982 due to high demand it was sold-out fast again and has not been reissued since that. To date, this is one of the rarest and wanted ambient recordings that…
Electronic Phantoms
Our new album is filled with a kind of sensibility that wasn't a part of our first one: a desire to get anyone who hears it to get up and dance. We spent 2023 playing a good number of live shows, from touring and playing festivals throughout Europe and Japan. We are a band without a drummer, and we’ve been using synths and drum machines—jamming along with machines so to speak—to freely rearrange the songs from our debut album. That experience is what motivated us to make this EP. Playing live in…
Everything Collapse(D) - Piano Versions
This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…
Shadow Cones
**Edition of 200** Vittore Baroni and Daniele Ciullini met in the early 1980s in the then flourishing circuit of fanzines and mail art, starting a series of collaborations in small self-produced artistic publications and in the sound field, as in the case of “The Cop Killers”, a tape part of the TRAX multimedia project. In 2018, at the time of the vinyl reissue of this audio cassette, the idea of giving a sequel to the dystopian-science fiction "industrial opera" was born, but without anything c…
