Upsetters 14 Dub Black Board Jungle
One of the most influential dub albums ever made. The remixing techniques used – radically new for 1973 – helped transform the role of the producer and the engineer to that of creative artists in their own right.
Canyon Diablo
A meteorite and a lost EP from an experimental electronic talent escape their grim fate: remain unknown to human civilization forever. Around 2015, Gareth Smyth (aka Lumigraph) produced two tracks before uploading them on his Soundcloud page under the name “Canyon Diablo”, a tribute to a meteorite that crashed in Arizona 49,000 years ago. Amazed, the future co-founder of M+M Disques barely had time to download them onto his hard drive before they were deleted... until today.
Behind the extraterr…
Ampersand Curve
»Ampersand Curve« initiates a brilliant new phase of work by North Manchester’s most elusive artist, best known as Michael J. Blood. His string of ruffkut club bangers, as well as jams with Rat Heart & Samizdat over the past seven years, have made his records a true cult property, and now find him signed to one of the UK’s most foundational techno imprints – more of which later this year.
But under the Sees aegis, he swims in very different waters, following his instincts to use the studio-as-in…
Dub War Coxsone vs Quaker City
Scientist's “Dub War Coxsone vs Quaker City” is a landmark dub release that originally emerged in Canada in the early eighties, capturing the weight, depth, and electrifying pulse that made Scientist’s approach instantly recognizable. Rooted in Bunny Lee-produced riddims, the album showcases Scientist’s deep & heavy mixes, turning iconic performances into immersive soundscapes—where basslines thunder, echoes linger, and every cut feels like a new chapter in the dub war.
At the heart of the recor…
Spells
"Broshuda returns on the newly born label Ballads Infinite with another array of absurdist vignettes, lowercase hi-tech ambience and textural degradations of radio transmissions from the bicameral mind. Weaving multiple sonic timelines into silky yet slippery articulations, he sculpts each sound with deliberate care making it breathe, slither and shimmer. Spells conjures a subterranean force through its vanishing presence, with the restraint in the sonic palette feeling utterly refreshing, as wa…
Our Broken Time Machine
Stern Records is proud to present Our Broken Time Machine, welcoming back Bug Bus Piano with their second full-length release on the label. As a freshly assembled puzzle swells, countless connections begin to bubble within the slowly buckling square. Some sections fall into the shadows of the new mountains, which consist of five or six bits and rising. And meanwhile there's fissures, the pieces are twisting. A thick paperboard nub tears off, held by a socket as its trunk drifts away. Moments bec…
Man Ah Warrior
Reissue for the epic Tapper Zukie's first album, originally released in 1973. Supervised by the original producer Clement Bushay! Zukie never expected these cuts to turn into an album, and was quite startled to discover this record in the London shops when he came to town in the spring of 1975. After 50 years “Man Ah Warrior” is still a lively and unique collection. The bassline and trademark guitar sound from The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” is instantly recognizable in the title tra…
Earth Running
Earth Running, originally released in 1979 on the Tappa's Stars label, can be considered the Jamaican's toaster's maturity album. Lyrics here are rooted in the "ghetto life" as always. A work with an international flavour: On Side B, two convincing dance tracks, the anthemic funkfest "Freak" and "One More Chance", often championed by DJs in the following years. A work that explored new territories, a mandatory re-issue for all authentic reggae lovers.
The Return Of DJ Grzyb
Born on the fertile slopes of Mount Centyrz, sourced from the remnant ashes of a devastating epidemic that wiped out the region centuries ago, the spirit of DJ Grzyb sprouts from the soil like a white-capped monk clad in fungal vestments. Untethered from human language, waiting to be harvested by virtuous hands; only then delivering its immortal knowledge. Legend tells that it was once carried away by supernatural forces seeking to recall the fairy tales of its ancestors, the protective spirits …
Música para Platanos
Música para Plátanos takes its name — and much of its inspiration — from the group’s recording studio, situated in the heart of a banana plantation on the humid north shore of Tenerife, Canary Islands. The ever-present sight of the green, sun-drenched fields surrounding their weekly sessions seeped directly into the music: improvised jams that are playful, layered, and deeply connected to place. This release gathers a distilled selection from those sessions — a kind of “greatest rotten hits” dis…

Anamnesis+
Scorn is dead. Mick Harris has said it himself, repeatedly, over the years, but this time the sentence has the weight of finality. Anamnesis, expanded to a four LP set and issued by GOD Records as catalog GOD 80, is the last word. Few projects have travelled the distance Harris travelled. From the blast beats that helped invent grindcore in Napalm Death to the cavernous low end and pulverising patience of Scorn, his career describes one of the strangest arcs in British underground music. Formed …
Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires
*2026 repress!* After a stint learning the dub craft from innovator King Tubby in the late '70s, Scientist began mixing his own sessions, coming up with a more wide-ranging and effects-riddled sound than that of his mentor. One of a handful of choice Scientist albums on the Greensleeves label, Rids the World of the Curse of the Vampires (1981) not only ably displays the mix masters varied approach, but clocks in as one of his best outings. While Scientist heeds Tubby's minimalist call with "stri…
Sol.Hz
London braingaze experimenters Seefeel return with Sol.Hz, their first full-length album in 15 years and a carrying-on of the hazy IDM that saw to their becoming one of Warp Records' most distinctive early signings. Famously among the first acts on the label to fold guitars into an electronic framework, the group again dissolve the adumbrations of shoegaze, dub and ambient techno, a now much-exploited sonic terrain by sound revivalists today. Tracks like 'Ever No Way' and 'Humidity Switch' drift…
Old Dark Champagne
This EP, written and recorded over three years, captures the work of Haydn Douet Lukies, a percussionist whose practice centres on highly resonant objects and site-responsive sound. Based in Portugal, Douet Lukies has developed a distinctive approach to solo percussion, working with antique metal and glass alongside found architectural surfaces. His music draws on a wide range of influences, from minimalism and Arabic percussion to jungle and the polyrhythmic batida that first drew him to Lisbon…
Sub Zero
Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's (aka The Bug) music couldn't go any slower, lower or deeper, Sub Zero emerges. A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience, the album gradually mutates into hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia. It is arguably Martin's most striking release to date under his given name. Originally released digitally on Bandcamp only in the depths of winter 2022, amid the final year of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's initial i…
In Dub
Emotional Rescue returns after a much-needed year hiatus, refreshed and ready, as it moves into its 15th year, to further explore the environs of oft-forgotten musical secrets and present them to new heads and minds. To celebrate, the label looks back to one of its favourite collaborations, the music of French ‘Ethno-Industrialists’ Vox Populi! in presenting a truly unique EP of “In Dub”, inspired remixes by 4 fellow Paris based artists of today in Full Circle, Froid Dub, Krikor and Shelter.
“In…
E.A.T.
Echo Libero is presenting a remastered version of the self-titled debut album by E.A.T., which was originally released in 1998. This forgotten experimental electronic music was ahead of its time when it was first released on CD in the late 90s. It was overlooked at the time, but it sounds more relevant than ever now. E.A.T. consists of members of the band Dunkelziffer, including the high-profile keyboardist Helmut Zerlett and progressive drummer Reiner Linke. The group also features Boris Polons…
