At The Borders Of Orion
It’s a great pleasure for us to introduce an Italian cosmic courier named Robert Kaylos. Robert lives in Verona, northern Italy, but his true home is deep space: certainly the intergalactic space that hides the mysteries of life and death, but also the infinite and equally mysterious space of human interiority (Ballard's “Inner space”).Tangerine Dream wrote in the liner notes of their album "Alpha Centaury" (1971): "Dedicated to all people who feel obliged to space". We are sure that Robert feel…
Vostok 1
*Limited edition of 120 copies* After the success of "Starcity" (HDK 91), Andy Bloyce returns to the HDK catalog with a new monumental collection of songs entitled "Vostok-1". In the background, as always, the utopian dimension and the crude reality of the Soviet Space Program; the dreams, the anguish and the exploits of men launched towards the unknown, towards the mysteries of deep space and those of human existence.If you have loved the sidereal rides contained in "Starcity", you will go craz…
Max Roguish: Lightbite
Following a nuclear catastrophe, the Earth has become an immense desert. Day time is short, and sunlight has red and purple glares. Living beings went through mutations due to the radiations, social order has come apart and humans live in what is left of a huge megalopolis, where neon palely lightens the never-ending nights. People have organized small anarchic-capitalist communities and they survive by selling stuff, spare parts and food. There is no official law but only the rules that each gr…
Neighborhoods
2022 Repress expected to ship early November - Ernest Hood’s Neighborhoods was released some two decades after the Portland, Oregon born and raised musician’s first forays into field recordings. These very recordings, and those captured over intervening years, define the universal sound and aural images of childhood, a theme memorialized by Hood’s privately-pressed opus of 1975.Sprawling through a haze of zither, synthesizer melodies, and foraged pedestrian sound, Neighborhoods is both a score …
Paloma
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Laila Sakini's new album 'Paloma' arrives via Modern Love and is her most striking and ambiguous to date - a pointed and timely meditation on hope and hierarchies that riffs on Zbigniew Preisner's magical "The Double Life of Veronique" score and enduring outsider music tome "The Langley Schools Music Project". Subtly transcendent, fathoms-deep music that's had us in cold sweats for months - highly recommended if you’re into Dominique Lawal…
Arbores
Tip! Troekurovo Recordings is a production team made up of Toki Fuko, Vadim Basov and Evgeny Vorontsov and they have been hidden away deep in some enchanted Russian forests recording music. Now they are putting out the results on this superb double pack. This project started back in 2016 as a live experimental jam and is now an annual tradition made on loads of analogue gear on the banks of a canyon that was formed many years ago by a melting glacier. The locale provides inspiration - from the f…
Pavonine
*In process of stocking.* "Pavonine" is the second offering from the collaborative duo of Dominic Coppola and Angelo Harmsworth, following the 2017 "Cordial" release on Strange Rules. The album was conceived in late 2020 and completed in spring of 2021, which requires no further explanation when it comes to recording and living conditions.
The duo deploys an array of minimalist structures, steady in span and measured in concept. Each track is executed with a precision focus on antithetical compo…
Passed Me By
*2022 re-press* Andy Stott's radical 2011 bonecrusher returns on its first new pressing for almost a decade, still screwing the dance and heads like nothing else with its lo-sprung suspended takes on boogie dub and claggiest rhythmic thumpers.
The sludgy, slow-motion slug of ‘Passed Me By’ marked a pivotal point when Stott swam against the grain of prevailing currents of the post-dubstep era’s turn toward garage-techno and UKF-inspired percussive house. Working loosely adjacent to a then emergen…
Februarys
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 150 copies.* Taylor Deupree & Marcus Fischer are back on with their new album "Februarys". The album consists of 6 long tracks spread over 3 cassettes and is housed in a minimal origami-based boxset which is risoprinted with visual work from Alicia Carrera.
Taylor Deupree and Marcus Fischer have been collaborating on music for over 10 years after first recording "In A Place Of Such Graceful Shapes" (12k, 2011) having never met each other prior to the d…
Proem
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 150 copies with risograph artwork - available publicly for the first time.* "There's a comforting mechanical heartbeat to "Proem," like a machine that has just become aware of itself, as it creaks and stutters along timidly interacting with its human caretakers. Peak moments of minimal dub-like ingredients impart flavor to a slow simmering broth of rich ear-coating ambience." - Lost Tribe Sound
Kleine Freuden
Johannes Schebler's musical output is all about establishing a dreamlike territory where sonic settlements can spread at ease. While Grykë Pyje (Johannes Schebler's duo with Jani Hirvonen) presents musical landscapes as open and clear spaces, Baldruin's miniature pieces tend to narrow them down, zooming into domestic sceneries that shift like malleable rooms inside a magic building. These are the quarters where the inhabitants of Schebler's musical world are configured. Rendered in a tender mann…
Common Values
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Since 2014 Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Breathless has been releasing most of his solo work through Fourth Dimension Records. Common Values is his seventh such album for the label (not including a reissue of 2009’s The Return album, originally released on vinyl by USA’s long gone by legendary Noiseville, and the LP reissues of the Broken Flag albums Mobility and Do Not due, after many delays, in late September/October 2021) and gathers another six mighty cuts that on…
Cavalcante
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* In recent years ambient music has changed and encountering Jon Hassell's fourth world design has become easy. Most of the time there’s no feeling, no narrative, a nothingness of ideas through layers and layers of pastiche and boring bedroom music. This is not bashing. Just a reminder that sometimes the information trap delays an understanding of how good music really is. “Cavalcante” is the new release by funcionário (born Pedro Tavares). You’ll find Jon Hassell …
Kopk Kopa
Junk DNA is the newly christened project from Brian Pyle, a man of many ongoing pursuits including Ensemble Economique, The Starving Weirdos, and RV Paintings. Born and raised in wilds of California, Pyle has recently been splitting his time in Vilnius, Lithuania, with his Junk DNA debut Kopk Kopa contemplating his time and place within Lithuania. It is true that much of Pyle’s works is reflective about the human condition responding to a particular environment. The slow burn of Humboldt fog, in…
Bowdark
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Bowdark is the name of a fictitious town somewhere in the USA. After a comet hits the town, mysterious things starts to happen. The Gothenburg-based artist Magnus Jäverling started to develop the concept and story around 2016, which included a scale model of the town and now the culmination of the project; his 10-track debut album. Recorded between 2016 and 2022, the album is a epic and dramatic journey through the peculiar lives and happe…
I Dreamt We Found A Way
*Limited edition of 100 white cassettes.* I dreamt we found a way’ is a documentation of Bristol-based artist Rob Winstone’s ongoing, almost spiritual practice of music-making. Titled as an expression of a deep yearning to overcome the alienating byproducts of capitalism and the subsequent dislocation of the human soul, this collection of pieces is a crystal-clear expression of the artist’s inner-most hopes and aspirations. The album takes different paths, showcasing the artist’s various approac…
Advanced Myth
*Limited edition bone white cassette housed in a transparent jewel case* Advanced Myth is the lucid debut album from Dialect, the now long standing project of British composer and musician Andrew PM Hunt.

In the absence of conventional struct…

Natural Sonic
*Tip! First vinyl reissue of Yoshiaki Ochi's "Natural Sonic" from 1990 from one of the Japanese leading environmental music label "Newsic". Magical sound & ensemble of the mother nature, perfectly melting in with the electronics.
