2025 stock Winter’s most precious gift is its snow-muffled hush. eve, the first full-length collaboration between zakè and Benoît Pioulard, pays tribute to the kind of supernatural December night where fleeting moments of peace manifest in visible exhalations and crystalline silence.

For each chapter, zakè crafted the so…

*300 copies limited edition* Flying between virtuosic formalism and freewheeling openness, Andrew Bernstein’s new album Shadows and Windy Places is a gripping picture of the Germany-based saxophonist right now.

*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* 'The Double Face of the Zero' revolves around the progressive crumbling of the human condition, trapped in a Babel of toxic languages, hypnotised by seductive as much as false myths. The traversed architectures are empty or abandoned; inside, only faint echoes of mechanical rhythms reminiscent/incubus of models destined for passive consumption and the reproduction of consensus. Babbling, bare syllables are all that remains of a one-way communication. The n…

*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* The sea knocks on the doors of your unconscious. Wait, it is not something real, it has no chemical trait vaguely similar to water. Rather, it is a metallic fluid, a sea of liquid mercury stretching along the shell of a parallel planet.

In the immersion, the metallic fluid plays as a mind mirror, lights are…

“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn

*50 copies limited edition* Avant le Rivage takes us back to the poetics of a liminal space in its original definition : a place of transition, of change ; a place that contains the source of a reverie. At the heart of Mélodie Blaison's music, the shore is not seen as an elementary boundary between water and land. Rather, it is a crossroads of prolific inter-relations, a breeding ground for heterogeneous temporalities that invite disembodied contemplation. In this way, the sound materials used b…

"Side A : percussive like an ongoing emergency. Side B : electrifying, from after the recomposition. A heavy atmosphere, a combative start. A fiery physicality emerges from each piece. Ripit progresses through a cluttered sky. Rough, thick raw material, a ceiling with pale lights passes at breakneck speed. A space roaring with sirens screaming. We are making good progress in the meanders of a troubled psyche, in the spiral of a bubbling world. Finally, the rhythms are reassuring; the noises and …
