Mux
*In process of stocking* Since his Beat Diary debut (a 12xLP box set comprising 365 beats recorded daily over the course of a year), Julian Sartorius has immersed himself in unique and ambitious projects - trekking the path not travelled to arrive at rhythmic life forms through found objects and prepared instruments. Equally as mighty are his two other escapades, the most recent being Locked Grooves - 112 beats cut as endless loops on vinyl spanning 56 dense 1.8 second compositions per side. Pre…
Hypotaedium
Hypotaedium is a 45-minute acousmatic composition consisting of 11 parts. The piece was conceived utilising the seven reverberation chambers at Tou Scene and the performance was recorded by Gaute Granli. This is Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland’s fifth album and also the fifth in a series of records on Drid Machine Records featuring hand assembled and foil stamped Procédé Heliophore covers. Much like the source material that is re-worked, looped and cut-up throughout the piece itself, the cove…
Après Coup
Blue Lake reveals his most ambitious album yet, which finds its visionary creator Jason Dungan harnessing the collective alchemy of his band, with ten spirited tracks that resonate with a powerful directness, evoking an ecological connection to the wider world.
Hope for Nothingness as Something
*75 copies limited edition* A two-chapter suite for modular & FM synth, wind & string instruments, electronics, sound objects and field recordings. The work is structured as a two-chapter descent from concrete score to analog & digital abstraction. It begins with the tangible written material and human presence of the performers, which are systematically subjected to a process of erosion. The initial components are reduced to "digital dust” — meaningless data fragments — then recombined algorith…
Algol
Tip! Algol is a new electroacoustic trio formed by Christian Lillinger (Germany), Elias Stemeseder (Austria), and Camilo Ángeles (Peru). The project was born during a collaborative tour and recording sessions in early 2024, between Mexico City and Guadalajara, and has since expanded with performances across various cities in Europe and Latin America. Conceived as an open system of real-time sonic construction, Algol operates at the intersection of composition, improvisation, and electroacoustic …
Millesuoni
In Millesuoni, Deleuze Guattari e la musica elettronica (2008), Emanuele Quinz distills some of the key ideas on the nature of sound formulated by Deleuze and Guattari over the course of their work. Central among them is the dynamic of territorialization and deterritorialization—a strategy of appropriation and subsequent release, activated in the alternation between refrain and music.
A child humming alone to ward off the fear of the dark is engaging in a process of territorialization, marking a…
Tutto Bene Volume II
After the success of Tutto Bene, enjoy Tutto Bene, Volume II! I've culled my favorite new accordion-driven hits into one fabulous sonic adventure to feed your hungry ears!

Tone Keepers
How good does it feel to pull back from time to time? To really shed excess, more-ness, and follow a single path with intention? The exploration of one thing can illuminate corners of the world overlooked by minds pushed in increasingly omnidirectional cycles of want. Tone Keepers is a collection of four compositions by flutist, composer, and sound artist Rachel Beetz that follow a straight line into unexpected territory. Each piece revolves around a simple but inventive technique for generating…
Improvised Textures
Pianist Bas Bulteel has been actively exploring the boundaries of solo piano work for several years now. This resulted, among other things, in his first solo album Eye Of The Storm, which was released in 2024 on W.E.R.F. Records. In the compositions for that album, he drew inspiration on the one hand from the minimalist school and on the other from contemporary avant-garde pianists. However, his hunger for experimentation was not satisfied after just one solo album. Shortly after finishing the a…
Lament For The Maker
“In 2022, with the closing of Mills College imminent and my bicoastal life coming to an end along with it, I requested of my colleagues works I could perform to mark this loss, honor the school's great legacy, and conclude the thirteen years I spent teaching there. They all graciously agreed. Lament for the Maker is the title of a Jack Spicer poem originally published in San Francisco, in 1963.”
There are three recently commissioned works for solo harp and the final piece, berlin bedroom, an ong…
Un Ordine delle Cose
*29 copies limited edition* A ritual object disguised as a release. Or perhaps the other way around. This limited edition of 29 units pairs a new work by Renato Grieco with a hand-forged bronze tuning fork designed by Swiss artist Alfatih and crafted in Naples by Ettore Palombi. Each fork takes the form of a small carcass - part amulet, part relic, part sculpture. Weighing roughly 30 grams, its resonant frequency hovers at the edge of silence: a tone you feel more than hear, a vibration that lin…
1m²
*80 copies limited edition* "What wonders can be found within a single square meter? Inspired by George Haskell’s book The Forest Unseen, field recordist Tomáš Šenkyřík decided to limit himself to a meter of wetland near his house, only to discover that the area was so blessed in biodiversity that it might even be too big. A warbler comments from the weeds; a buzzard flies overhead. But beneath the surface of the water, the real wonders are found. The plants yield the subtle sounds of photosynth…
Ganz im Gegenteil
*2026 stock. 40 copies limited edition* "Ganz im Gegenteil – the title of Andy Klingensmith's new album – roughly translates to “quite the opposite”. This element of a slightly surprising shift in perspective is at the core of the record. Equally inspired by the pain and catastrophes caused by human ignorance and the vast natural beauty of the Death Valley (the lowest point in North America), Ganz im Gegenteil was composed and assembled using recordings which explore the tactile sounds of variou…
Vstal
*2026 stock. 60 copies limited edition* "Vstal is a collection of seven songs created in a dialogue between the experimentalist and composer Manja Ristić and the meticulous observer and field recorder Tomáš Šenkyřík. The album takes listeners on a journey across the European continent, from Ristić’s home on the Adriatic coast to the Czech-Austrian borderlands and the Moravian floodplain forests, which have long inspired Tomáš Šenkyřík’s sonic explorations. This broad scope, sensitively linking t…
