The Golden Years
2025 stock Parade Ground has always been the duo of brothers Jean-Marc and Pierre Pauly from Brussels, Belgium formed in 1981. Taking cues from Post-Punk, Coldwave, Dadaand Surrealism, Parade Ground channeled suffering, tension and rage through pulsing synthesizers, skeletal guitar, severe bass and Jean-Marc’s expressive vocals as the most melodic and emotional instrument. The Golden Years is an 11-song, career-spanning collection of Parade Ground’s long out-of-print 7” and 12” singles as well a…
13
For its inaugural release of 2025, Past Inside The Present proudly offers a powerful set of new pieces from experimental ambient veteran bvdub (aka Brock Van Wey), simply titled 13. Across its duration, spacious arrangements nest in clouds of reverb, underscored by granular details and entrancing synth arpeggiations. According to Van Wey – a long time scholar of Eastern ideas and literature – every section represents one edict or idea from chapter 13 of the Tao Te Ching, the foundational text of…

Apart from setting up their collection of analog synths and g…
Ermete
*20 copies limited release* ERMETE is an ambient/drone project that blends sonic exploration with dark, retro-futuristic tones, unfolding over a fluid and immersive droning foundation. The debut self-titled album "Ermete" is composed of three distinct movements: "29°00′N 13°44′W (I-II-III)", the opening piece, is an extended composition divided into three parts. Its structure revolves around three evolving themes, emerging from a hypnotic and earth-shaking drone that underpins the entire track. …
Bombolla
*100 copies limited release.* J.G.G. began making music under this name in 2013, after a dream in which he discovered a melody capable of bringing about the end of the world. That dream led to his first album, Intentos, released on cassette in 2014 and later on vinyl in 2015. He has since continued producing music and releasing it through his own label (Ediciones Populares), as well as through other labels in Spain (Discos Mascarpone, Discos Walden), in Europe (Cut Surface, Schamoni Musik, Tonal…
Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes
2008 release ** Comes in a folded A2-poster sleeve. "The Belgian label Consouling Sounds, which specializes in guitar drone and has already released, among other things, the fantastic remix LP by N entitled "Bergen: Skizzen + Notiz" (Bergen: Sketches + Notes), has released the CD "Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes," a compilation that can confidently be described as a current overview of the genre. The opening track is a highlight, as "Amsterdam 2 Uhr Nachts" is the first sign of life from…
Namakar
1998 release ** CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Mathias Grassow is a decidedly diverse performer. Most of his solo recordings fall into the electronic minimalist style. On many of his collaborations, he goes to the tribal ambient style. On Namakar, he takes that route solo. This is a set of deep tribal minimalism. Grassow augments his signature synth drones with incessant didgeridoo drones. He surrounds those drones with some gentle synthesizer atmospheres and melodies…
Electro-City
1996 release ** CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Quest is the project of Frans De Waard (member of Kapotte Muziek and Beequeen). Quest started as a solo project of Frans and was initially called QST, influenced by Pete Namlook and the output of the FAX label."

Sonology
2010 release ** "Sonology, the latest release from the Sound On Probation camp, combines two twenty-minute settings by Gianluca Becuzzi (aka Kinetix) and four shorter pieces by Laurent Perrier (aka Pylône), all of them untitled. Kinetix's first piece is a prototypical electroacoustic dronescape of micro-sounds where insectoid clicks, shimmering organ gleam, cavernous rumbles, percussive noises, and electronics combine to form a consistently captivating stream of controlled sound. Becuzzi holds t…
Dialogue One
2011 release ** "Enrico Coniglio's four tracks on Dialogue One don't differ radically in style from those on I, though the former are in spots perhaps louder and more texturally wide-ranging. Next to no details are provided about sound sources (save for a thanks to Rachele for lending her voice to “Calls of the White”) so once again impressions must be based on listening, pure and simple. One of the recording's most attractive aspects is the contrast between Coniglio's four tracks (all of which…
Re: Case Studies
*200 copies limited edition* After several solo-releases on the label, we welcome back Taylor Deupree and The Humble Bee for their first collaborative album to date. Re: Case Studies is out on May 2nd and available on vinyl and digitally.
While most collaborative albums are intentional from the start, this one almost never came to fruition and was born rather out of a fortunate coincidence. A few years ago, Taylor Deupree created a series of compositions entirely based on feedback loops, which n…

[Track:Array]
2003 release ** "Built around three previous Ware singles, the eleven tracks here stay uptempo. While not the first to explicitly craft a record around the concept of driving (or highways, or autobahns), Schmidt conjures up the sleek German design of today by hotwiring its primitive arcade heart and making a driving game out of it. "Quest for Tires" starts off like the Commodore 64's classic Night Driver game, all simple white dashes on a black screen before the bass and distorted patches shift…
Ship-Scope
A sought-after Dub Techno classic originally released on Berlin’s legendary Chain reaction in 2001, remastered from vinyl for this edition in 2015 by Matt Colton.
A massive personal favourite of Demdike Stare's, Shinichi Atobe's 'Ship Scope' was Chain Reaction's penultimate release in 2001 and, with the benefit of hindsight, also one of the label's most sublime offerings. Phase fwd to 2015 and DDS rightly put it back into circulation with this necessary reissue arriving in the wake of Atobe's mu…
