Discipline
For years people were convinced that Shinichi Atobe was a well known artist (probably German) working incognito. Thanks to a flowery twitter feed, plus some interviews, all that distraction has been finally laid to rest. Still offering little in the way of biographical factoids, though, Atobe lets the music do the talking in typically emotively nuanced and special style on his 7th album ‘Discipline’, offering further refinements of prevailing, salient ‘90s deep house, dub techno and ambient scen…
To Cut & Shoot
On their most explicit venture into music for moving image, Miles Whittaker & Sean Canty rudely fracture piano and vocal recordings by US filmmaker-musician Kristen Pilon in a short-circuiting of style and pattern that arguably amounts to some of their best yet on DDS. Yup it’s uncanny dream-within-a-dream type gear, landing somewhere between their commissions for Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and creeping classics by The Caretaker.
Leaning
**300 copies** Kaspi & Stride is a new project from Justin Tripp, best known as one half of the Georgia equation. Leanings has its origins in rigorous yet laid back studio sessions, dual personal practice sensibilities that seem to get at Tripp’s creative ethos as well as any descriptors might. The material here was born out of collaborative studio sessions with multi-instrumentalist Jimy Seitang (Conga Square / Stygian Stride) - the “Stride” of K&S. The music from these sessions has been rework…

Dawn Syndrome
2005 release ** "After releasing over 18 releases since 1999, Chaos As Shelter needs no further introductions. His latest work, dawn syndrome, was recorded in 2001 and is dedicated to the end of Kali Yuga, the age of iron, which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles, the end of the world, and the dawn of a new golden age - Sataya Yuga (the age of purity). Dawn Syndrome is an eight-track composition of ritual dark ambient crafted in the skillful way Chaos as Shelter is …
Freeze
2003 release ** "Michael Hartman and Junko Okada of the electronics group TV Pow has established his own Kuro Neko imprint, and based on the label's first two offerings, he's got his eye on a number of different scenes. Motor is a man from Moscow who, whether working in abstraction or (as is the case here) with pulse-based forms, prefers austerity and minimalism. Though rhythms clearly sit at the center of Freeze, they are subtle and don't detract from the melodic elementss, the subtle electroni…

Coalyqsta
*75 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Have you ever wondered about liquid crystals’ consciousness? We bet you haven’t. Then, are you familiar with the concept of panpsychism, the view that all things have a mind or a mind-like quality? Well, you should be pretty curious about it now, and Bamboo Shows may have some of the answers!
Introducing Metra.Vestlud on the label via his ‘Coalyqsta’ LP, Bamboo Shows is happy to provide you with a vivid sensory experience of other forms of sensibility whi…

Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Hé…
Contemplative Figuration
300 copies limited edition With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coa…

Colocate follows their 2018 debut release on the Open Hands Real Flames imprint (Bass Clef), further developing their distinctive style which combines melodic, pop song structures with live improvisation and odd or no-meter approaches to rhythm and timing.

Ecophony Gaia
*2025 repress* Deep, deep, earth music from Tsutomu Ōhashi and the Geinoh Yamashirogumi crew. A macrosymphony composed for the International Garden and Greenery Exposition in Osaka, Japan, 1990, Ecophony Gaia, was supposed to be the stunning, aural centerpiece for a light and water performance system echoing the sentiment of the venue: "Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Mankind". Ecophony Gaia was in its truest essence the final part of a trilogy that began with 1986's Ecophony Rinne, continu…

Yet Air remains his most poetic, organic, and emotionally resonant project.

Gma

We have been endeavouring to change this situation for a long time and now we're glad to present this wonderful disk to your attention. "Gma" was recorded in 2002 with the use of voice and software noise s…
Cooks & Devils
2009 release ** "„Cooks & Devils“, a single track culled from a performance at the Kunstverein Göttingen in Summer of last year, shows just how far Ignaz Schick has come. The „Snake Figure Arkestra“, the latest formation to flow from Schick's fantastical fluidum, is centered around an enduring partnership with Marcel Türkowsky but, needless to say, again open to external input and to debate, discussion and critical discourse: The Arkestra has already joined forces with Drone-Surrealist Christop…
New Death Order
2006 release ** ""New Death Order" is a powerful mixture of unusual varieties and neat qualities, where orthodox atmospheres hit vigorous impacts, simmering synths, and carefully directed sampling. The musical contrasts, which underline the concepts of the album, decline through consumption and decadence in a cynical manner. Best neo-classic and martial industrial with a touch of sounds from the great mother Russia!"
