Deathtrance Parable
Label debut of this miscalculated electronic project. All sounds plundered. False starts and new pretensions. Though an ecclesiastical effort, it remains a taped act of public humiliation.
Lila
Originally commissioned by TBA during the COVID pandemic of 2020 as part of their Curfew programming O Morto, aka Mestre André now presents the full length version of his Lila composition, a collaboration with Moroccan musicians Ayoub ElAyady and Khalid Boulhamam. Lila is the Arabic word for night and is also the name of the liturgic ceremony manifested in a trance, as a process of healing and therapy, through a ritual of sensory immersion conducted by music (gnawa), incense, colour and dance. …
1127
Four years after his groundbreaking debut, 1127 returns with a second LP which departs from the previous abstractions to a distinct variation of new morphs of early twentieth century Egyptian music to contemporary electronic music. All composed within their brand of (mostly) computer-based, broad sonic productions. Also featuring Premise & Cult Of Z Cheeky Yet Chic, Concrete Shapes, اعیش في جلباب اب ي, Transient Pleasure & Siliconvalidity.Io, Minusdesire, Caironomixx, صفوت), Conclusion, and Emna…
The McClintic Chorus
Shadow World Archive is proud to present The McClintic Chorus, the second full-length LP from Kristen Gallerneaux. The follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut Strung Figures, The McClintic Chorus finds Gallerneaux in world-building mode, crafting a psychogeographic landscape of folkloric Appalachia through sound. Turning her inimitable, idiosyncratic ear to field recordings and sound sources recorded or re-recorded in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia and the McClintic Wildlife Area's…
Nattdett
*200 copies limited edition* Berlin-based, Italian-born sound artist Andrea Taeggi introduces his debut release on Hands in the Dark records with 'Nattdett', an album showcasing six mesmerizing and rhythmically intricate electronic compositions. Drawing inspiration from previous works such as 'Mama Matrix Most Mysterious' (2015), 'Batch 0006' (2017), and 'Zimní Král' (2018), Taeggi delves further into his exploration of cyclical patterns and tension-filled compositions within his creative proces…
AmiciMiei
Music taken from the experimental film led by visual artists Mark Pozlep and Maxime Berthou, released in 2023. The new compositions by French electronic producer Julien Jabre illustrate the artistic performance of the Franco-Slovenian duo. Julien Jabre’s music intertwines with the film's evocative imagery to portray an America between two crises: the project, which involved descending the Mississippi on board a homemade steamboat, began a few months after one of the largest floods in the United …
Disarmo o Sterminio?
Tip! From the dusty archives of a TV station, a handful of instrumental pieces, originally recorded as musical commentary for a series of historical documentaries. The topic is the Cold War: the areas of influence, the balance of power, the threat of the Third World War, the dream of a future of peace and unity.
Sustain
Greyscale is coming in hot for 2024! Our first full-length album of the year comes from none other than our amazing leader Grad_U! 'Sustain' features 8 separate mostly ambient renditions that take you through what to us, sound like field recordings from another planet. These magical pieces are sparse, eerie, beautiful, and really take you to an otherworldly place. Grad_U's producing techniques are really coming into their own here. Challenging some of the best full-length releases ever to do it …
Spiraling Synthesizers For Heavy Cosmic Music
Cosmic synth music on Delodio, channeling the spirts of John Carpenter, Manuel Göttsching and Daniel Baldeli. Crystal clear vinyl, small batch of 500 copies vinyl only,
Delodio label's managing duo ( Fafane and F.M ), have been piling up tonnes of tapes and cassettes in their studio for many years. The tracks compiled here, by an as of now unidentified artist, come from one of these cassettes. One thing is certain, the artist who made this instrumental cosmic music loved / loves soaring synthesi…
Cinnte le Dia
It all started with a crashed computer and it certainly didn’t end there. »Cinnte le Dia« is the third collaborative album by Hanno Leichtmann and Valerio Tricoli, their first entry into Ni Vu Ni Connu’s duo series that focuses on Berlin’s Echtzeitmusik scene and beyond. Having already released two joint records on the now-defunct Entr'acte label, the two musicians wanted to document a 2018 concert in Berlin, but technology failed them. Undeterred, the sound artist and percussionist and the elec…
grain
*300 copies limited edition* Grain is the third Innode release following on from Gridshifter in 2013 and syn in 2021. A new methodology to make the album is applied yet again from the trio of Bernhard Breuer, Steven Hess and Stefan Németh. The approach is more an anti approach where the trio let the process of creation itself steer the development of the recording, without any prior conceptual agenda. Irregular rhythmic patterns often served as the initial springboard for each piece with Breuer …
Dohnavùr//Kl(aüs)
"Early 2022: I started to get a few tracks in from Dohnavùr (Edinburgh) and Kl(aüs (Sydney). “This is what we’re working on, but the album’s not ready yet.” I had an idea. Let’s open the portal between Edinburgh and Sydney and let two of Castles in Space’s longest standing artists loose on each other’s tracks and see what we get. The idea being, original track, remix, flip, original track, remix, flip. I’m happy to be able to report, the experiment worked. We got something very special indeed. T…
Ample Habitat
Sophomore release from Toronto dream-duo Joseph Shabason and Ben Gunning, this time a more cosmopolitan affair, mapping fragmented cityscapes from bent electronics and late-night FM jazz transmissions. The boys are back in town. After recording their debut in a remote cottage in Northern Ontario, the duo relocated their jams to Shabason’s Toronto studio where they gained unlimited access to a virtual cornucopia of analog and digital gear and had the time to really push those instruments to the b…
EEL
*2024 stock* Part hexagonal lube-pool, part peatman’s gallbladder; EEL marks an encephalitic (onward) plowter for both of us. Like intractable flagellations hoisted through individual druse romps, staminate bleachfields give way to unillustrated gonging, in chiefly 12V 3A veinlets. EEL – acronymised in ‘pen scrape’ – decontaminates, in our eye, four key baronial globoids, expunging gladly by 5 pin toddy ladle. In the torrential burn below, head hair, jaw hair and clothes sticky, stinking and gre…
Shallow Buoy
Mangled surf-rock samples and washed-up suds of everyday oddities define Shallow Buoy, the newest release from remote duo Stumped. Consisting of Berlin-based Page Swanson and Pennsylvania-confined Adam Buffington, Stumped strain field recordings and borrowed sounds through various analogue and electronic processes, resulting in a sonic puree that's never stodgy.
The Snow EP
Transmigration celebrates the 20th release milestone with a repress of Coil's The Snow EP. Released as a promotional single for the 1991 album Love's Secret Domain, it marks the influential groups closest brush with the dance floor. Featuring a set of remixes from Peter Christopherson, Jack Dangers and an early collaboration with Drew McDowall prior to joining the group.
Licensed by Danny Hyde and remastered by ManMade mastering.
Shelter of the Opaque
Vanishing is the unique creative project of Gareth Smith, a working class time-served engineer turned artistic world builder who has traded in his toolbox for the means to write evocative music and resonant lyrics. His stunning new album Shelter Of The Opaque seizes quotidian reality and either scrapes away at the veneer to reveal the awful machinery of how things are underneath or overlays it with a gossamer filigree to suggest how they could be instead. The musician – who was born in Hull but …

Towards East
*2024 stock* Shed is a master of rhythmic complexity, characterised by classic techno, but also by British club music, dub reggae with its echoes and reverberations and by counter-rotating basses and beats. On this album, he expands his art into unexplored areas. Sampled orchestral sounds become rhythmic material and within the dramaturgy created it sometimes seems as if you can no longer hear a clear pulse. Anyone who, like Shed, is capable of shaping time is always also capable of building a n…
