Arriving from the island of Cyprus to the HDK catalog is the Mediterranean dungeon-synth of "Idylls of the Last King." The prolific artist continues his tale of suspended narratives, ancient stones, and echoes of bygone splendor. "A Year at the End of Time" comprises ten tracks recounting the fall of empires through the metaphor of the changing seasons, from the frost of winter to the fading of autumn. Included with the cassette is a handy tool for creating the perfect decadent settings for your…

Argento is David August's new project: an imagined soundtrack to the Tyrrhenian coast, synthesizers and field recordings with Lorenzo Setti on drums and percussion, in the wake of Italian library music.

The first solo album from the legendary director and composer of Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Snake and many more! With the 15 films he has directed and composed the soundtracks for, John Carpenter has single-handedly defined the sound of the horror genre. The film music alone manages to instantly conjure up, in the musical memory of the devoted fan, the menacing figure lying in wait for the babysitter, the ghost-filled mist, the kung fu fighters with their lightning-fast fists, or the…

With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…

I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…

2025 reissue of Thomas Bückers debut album as Bersarin Quartett, originally released in 2008 on Lidar.

Tip! *'Dijon Mustard' coloured vinyl, limited edition LP * Femme Fatales with big guns, coolly efficient assassins, highly sexed and impossibly beautiful kleptomaniacs, Paris Métro signs, wet cobbled streets – and neon, always lots of neon; the visual aesthetics of the Cinéma Du Look movement of the early 1980s to early 1990s were as important as the characters in the films themselves.Identified by Revue du Cinéma critic Raphaël Bassan in its May 1989 issue, ‘Cinéma Du Look’ principally revolved…
