Including rhythmic-based music and sound-text rhythms from ordinary speech (Allen Ginsberg's works), some dreamy electronic music by Pauline Oliveros, and solo jazz by Steve Lacy, this is an interesting collection of new recordings and reissues of tracks from out…
Anthology Of Experimental Music From Australia
*100 copies limited edition* For over a decade, the Sound Mapping series has traced the evolving landscapes of experimental music across the globe. This chapter turns its ear to Australia, a continent whose sonic expressions are as vast, isolated, and idiosyncratic as its geography.

There’s a rawness her…
Fried Brains

They achieve this by combining a layer of turntable sampling and scratching that provides a distinctive and varied sound interacting with a broad palette of different techniques on double bass, percussion, and voice. Fried Brains is the first release of the project." - Vito Camarretta

felix culpa
According to legend, Orpheus was the son of Apollo, the Greek god of music. His father gave him a lyre and, from an early age, Orpheus played so well that he surpassed even his father's skill.

Orfeu is the Portuguese translation of ‘Orpheus’, and is above all the intimate project of Alexandre Casato, who has been developing it in secret in his bedroom for several years... Alex is the guitarist behin…

If We Can't Dream, They Won't Sleep!!
*2025 stock* Strange connections -- Bilbao meets Japan via Berlin on a record that will put you in a constant state of WTF. ASMR rock? Post internet punk?

The Forthcoming

As Al Karpenter’s resident theoretician Mattin explains, “The last record was a result of the pandemic, introverted, isolated and with a blues energ…

La Vostra Ansia Di Orizzonte
2017 release ** "Salvo Lazzara and Stefano Giannotti, two artists at opposite ends of the spectrum, but with strong musical and literary interests in common, meet between writing and improvisation, electronic landscapes and acoustic creations. A series of out-of-form and unreassuring stories is born, poetic and sound experiments, almost micro-radio-dramas, between ambient and free jazz, singer-songwriter and cultured avant-garde."

Sun Dog
*100 copies limited edition* "When Kabas first left its mark on the Belgian music scene with Abel (2016), nothing could have prepared you for where they would find themselves nearly one decade later. Not that the quartet needed extreme makeovers or abrupt stylistic switches. On the contrary, every step Thijs Troch, Jan Daelman, Nils Vermeulen and Elias Devoldere have taken since their first debut feels like a logical next one. This is not the sound of calculation or imposed transformation, but o…

Schokolino Choco Loco
"As I sit down to pen these words for Stilluppsteypa's latest vinyl release on the enigmatic Futura Resistenza label, I find myself jumping back a year or two, reminded of the profound impact this Icelandic ensemble has had on the northern landscape of experimental arts for four decades. Emerging in the early 1990s, Stilluppsteypa began their journey as a punk-oriented band with multiple members. However, their insatiable curiosity for the unconventional soon led them to explore more abstract an…

Direct Action
Since their formation in 1977 Mark Perry’s group Alternative TV have moved far away from their more direct punk rock beginnings into all manner of other areas of music that have sometimes themselves drawn from improvisation, free jazz, industrial and electronic music. On 'Direct Action', Alternative TV’s first studio album since 'Opposing Forces' in 2015, we are presented with six instrumental tracks which steadily rip apart all expectations as they shed all allusions to rock music in favour of …
