Guruuswa
*10 copies limited edition* Taking its name from a mythical region in modern-day Zimbabwe, loosely translated as “land of tall grass”, Guruuswa is a roughly hewn piece of freely improvised psychedelia and a significant renewal of a decades-long musical partnership.Recorded live at Dash The Henge in London, the performance features Fr33zehead label collaborator Andi Jackson on taishōgoto and effects, alongside Beanie Bhebhe on drums and percussion. The piece opens with gently cascading, luminous …
Toothpaste For Your Elephant
*250 copies limited edition* Toothpaste For Your Elephant marks the first release for London based Ó Mhaidin. Unfolding over 16 tracks, 3 of which are newly mastered reissues seeing vinyl for the first time, the compilation is born from a love of 80’s underground cassette culture, an homage to late nights spent listening to junked-up Americana, disregarded DIY oddities and neo no-wave.
Featuring contributions from Old Saw, Tarawangsawelas, Kulku, Fiesta En El Vacío, Thorn Wych and more, Ó Mhaidi…
Heat
With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …
Second Life
De Mond blend gargles of stomach ache electronic dubs with the energy of a raging ozz garage band and the blasting beat of a heavily sampled hip hop act, sauced with neon vocals sang through the exhaust pipe of a lost balkenbrei eating uncle from Peer in backward Limburg! We always heard the echo's of late 90's / early 2000's Providence / Load loudness in De Mond's live shows, without the masks, though with the red paint dripping all over the floor. There's surely that high energy warehouse punk…
♫ ⎜ II
After its first release in 2023, the tiny big band Parasite Jazz brings its public iterations to fruition with “♫”, a testament to an alternate reality, matured voyaging across France over the span of four seasons. It sees the music flee through exuberant forests and steep troglodytes ; a parallel genre movie with a soundtrack of diluvian rhythms, mocking chants, jazz noir and voodoo accidents. In this shifting, autonomous world, the elastic orchestra—whose members keep on appearing and disappea…

X&A
Two sides, each lasting 8 minutes and 50 seconds. A clash that resonates in friction, united by the materiality of vinyl - if only for a time. Or at best, a rapprochement, like in cinema. On side A, a MIDI composition by Xavier Robel for synthesized piano, based on La Monte Young's tuning system for The Well-Tuned Piano. Mouse clicks, boxing gloves, vibrancy, and mischief. On side B, a positively insistent On-U Sound-flavored rhythmic investigation, produced by Androo in response to Xavier Robel…
Gym Douce
* 200 copies limited edition. Comes with a Risograph pamphlet insert. * Permanent Draft founders Valentina Magaletti and Fanny Chiarello return with Gym Douce, a playful and surreal suite of percussion and spoken word that reimagines the gym as a space for sonic exploration. Across seven inventive tracks, the duo transforms everyday movement into a series of charming, oddball vignettes: “Reverse Fly” is an earworm of processed voice and unruly drum machine claps, while “Curtsy Lounges” veers fro…
Hard Sell
"Sloping like a jello tower block - open the bellows!! His laconic oration cuts through gauzy pigment canopy over dissolute scenes, precisely shipwrecked. For a unit so put together, Giulio Erasmus and his End of the Worm band do the do exquisitely dismantled. Standing lean and lugubrious in what is no less than the direct continuation of the hallowed Factory-Benelux-connection lineage, here the instantly recognisable sinister-yet-seductive basslines and suavely disaffected voice of Erasmus hims…
Ambulance
Holy Tongue (Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton & Susumu Mukai) follow up their critically acclaimed album with a two track 7” on Trule. On the A Side ‘Ambulance Dub’ creeps in like John Carpenter at Firehouse. The B Side ‘The Bigger Tutti’ goes full on Steppers punk. They are all snakes now.

Bedroom Album
Produced and engineered by Jah Wobble at home in his bedroom (hence the title), the album was originally released in spring 1983, showing a different side in the bass player evolution. His proper 2nd album after a major label stint with Virgin - for his debut - and the stratospheric collaborations with Holger Czukay & The Edge. A mystical hybrid of dub fusion, ethereal wave and global beat, still ahead of his time.
Wanting Less
Latvian expat mu tate joins the Warm Winters Ltd. roster with his vaporous, dubbed out excursions. Utilising his trademark crackling field recordings, soporific atmospheres, swooping sub-bass and cascading synths, 'wanting less' is as weightless and gorgeous as his previous outings on Experiences Ltd. and Utter. More so than ever before though, he enters more jazz-tinged, melodic territory, without forgoing the traces of (post)club music appearing throughout his discography. This is probably mu …
Mauve/Pink
Nestled beside the sea and a cluster of palm trees, La Malvarrosa, the neighborhood in Valencia where Cooper resides, derives its name from a fusion of "Malva," meaning mauve, and "Rosa," meaning pink. Here, La Malvarrosa serves as the primary backdrop for the recordings, symbolizing two distinct colors and artistic approaches. These hues become the emblematic colors of a fictitious flag from an imagined island located on a forgotten expanse of ocean. From this ethereal site, melodies emerge, se…
