"I was almost seventeen when 'Scum' came out, lurching through my headphones sandwiched between John Peel’s warm gravy groans. It flipped me out. My punker brain, pretty much allergic to anything metal, made a series of damp connections that lodged the chaotic buzzing insect rumble in my mind forever. Thirty-odd years later this record still sounds urgent and furiously angry. It sounds more important than ever. I decided I wanted to do ‘something’ with Scum in late 2023. I listened to the record…
*Dubbed on reused ferro tapes* Music for fictive radio stations. Made as a sound installation that was part of a performance talk about fictive world scenarios. Mostly made with circuit bend radios and found music in a stack of unsorted cassettes.
Strange and beautiful debut cassette from another great friend of the label. One hour of slowly dissolving Music box / tape Music. Ghostly melodies weaving in an out of each other until the tape runs out.
Brown particles vinyl. Here is an expanded edition of one of Nurse With Wound's most intense and unique albums, so much so that for long-time fans, it was a strange, chaotic lounge oddity upon its release. For the first time, all four audio sides are complete (originally, there were only three sides). To top it off, there is a stunning new cover by the great and talented Babs Santini, who is none other than Steven Stapleton using his artist pseudonym, continuing in the luxurious tradition of the…
2025 repress, LP version. "Sometimes it's like an overstuffed musical armchair -- quite comfy, even when lumpy. The contribution of Markus Popp, whose style of digital scratching has made Oval an experimental household name, adds to the density and often provides an echo of Gastr past while the rest of Camoufleur paints the future." Jim O'Rourke's last album with Gastr del Sol is a subdued, meditative affair, bringing together elements of folk, jazz, film music, and the avant-garde. "The Seasons…
*2025 stock* Cate Brook's fifth album as The Advisory Circle. A beautiful and uplifting selection of electronic pieces, inspired by late 70s and early 80s library music.

Two members of Friendly Fires make guest appearances; Ed Macfarlane on vocals on No Way Back, and Edd Gibson co-production on Scuba. The CD & LP packaging is designed by Julian House. The elegantly simple artwork and typography, re…

This special edition will be added a CDR reissued long out of print his early w…
Julek ploski’s ‘Give up Channel’ is on mappa. It’s the follow-up to the Poland-based FL Studio demon’s ‘Hotel *****’, released via Orange Milk in 2023. It’s an album that wrestles against a shadow self. It’s about shelter from the hailstorm of unwanted memories and guilt pangs and serrated blades of thought. It’s about clinging on to some semblance of hope, knuckles taut and teeth gritted. The fragmented drift of opener ‘Naysayer’ flows forward like an anxious daydream, pad eddies and piano plin…
*200 copies limited edition* wræżlivøść involves intense emotions, messages, memories and experiences, blending contrasting styles beyond conventional genres. From post-romantic piano to radical electronic sounds, the final shape of the album was formed in the last two weeks of August, when Kamil Piotrowicz combined recordings made over the past year: from a noise-ambient session in New York, through home recordings in the village of Strzeń near Warsaw, to the recording of his graduation concert…
The first transmission from forthcoming Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan's new album, "Your Community Hub"
"A Shared Sense of Purpose" looks at the small community centres that helped Runcorn become a five minute city, long before the current discussion about fifteen minute cities. The idea that the larger town would be divided into smaller centres, each with a set of facilities at the heart, and designed to be within five minutes walk of anyone’s front door. It looks at the faciliti…

An outstanding group of musicians/others, who were very active in the Portland region during the time and receptive to the ideas of Brown and Reynolds, assembled to record these 4 works which were composed decades apart. An essential piece of the Brown/Reynolds/Old/Holy…

CD housed in 6 panel digisleeve. 12 pages booklet and Obi. Henry House is a recurring dream song. Combining closely tuned instruments and sinetones, tape-music editing techniques, field recordings, and voice, this eighty-minute, five-part song cycle is an evolutionary step away from the spontaneity of the free jazz/noise aesthetic usually found in the music of Nate Wooley. Henry House expands on the ecstatic, durational work found in Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain, a six-part composition that ha…
Circular patterns morphing through time, loop and ritual form the fabric of Proserpine, the latest work by Leeds-based musician, Teresa Winter. Recorded from a summer to a winter through 2021 and 2022, Proserpine is Winter’s most cohesive, focused music to date: confidently revelling in space, fixating on isolated sounds and giving way to satisfying, swirling waves of vocal and electronic buzz. Proserpine is Teresa Winter’s debut recording for Glasgow-based label, Night School. On Proserpine, mu…

His artistic work deals with the repressed and uncanny sonic residues of quotidian life, crafting soundtracks for the creeping disaster we inhabit. His works have been released on numerous international tape labels. A recent interest of his is the live scoring of silent films, i…

The composer has developed stereo versions of the pieces as well, which are found on the included CD-Audio.
