Bottling House
When the quartet of Luke Martin, Gabriel Salomon, Klaus Janek and Andy Graydon gathered to record an afternoon of sessions in Andy's studio, it was both the result of years of cultivation and an afterthought. Klaus and Andy had been long-time, and now long-distance, collaborators since their shared years in Berlin. That city was also where Andy was introduced to Gabriel at one of his solo performances by their mutual friend, the painter Paul McDevitt. Years passed, and cities. After meeting and …

Due scritti imperfetti
"Due scritti imperfetti" contains three compositions meticulously put together by Giancarlo Toniutti, Deison and Massimo Toniutti. The location chosen for this collaboration was primarily the recording studio in Udine where, in a two-year timespan, the authors met to discuss, compose, record, trim, listening back, sifting out sounds and adapting their electro-acoustic mixtures.The music or rather 'musics' that emerged during this progress, represent different versions of ongoing experiments, a w…
Hardstone carvings
*Dubbed on reused ferro tapes* Reveries; an apartment and it's lonesome inhabitant. Field recordings and reamps through lousy computer speakers. The livelyhood and sounds of tape running around different objects, chatting radios and the fiddeling of a diverse array of small talkative machines. All recordings were made within the same weekend, being alone in my apartment. Edited, cut apart and put back together.
Bring forth the moon
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A collaboration between accordionist K. Vidar, recorded and edited by J. Folke with onset from Vidar's solo accordion concert in a water tower in Brønshøj. Recordings are made the day prior to the concert, and subsequent on the staircases of the conservatory on Rosenørns Alle. Edited and processed throughout the summer 2024.

IJsschots Veenlaag Mist
*200 copies limited edition* We’re delighted to announce the triumphant return of Steve Marreyt, aka Edgar Wappenhalter. Here he reverts to making gritty reverb-drenched folksongs. But the poetic and electronic elements from his previous album remain – they’re just incorporated in the songs this time. It makes ‘Ijsschots Veenlaag Mist’ probably Wappenhalter’s most balanced work thusfar. Songs like ‘Hallusineren’ or ‘Vogel rok diamant’ prove he’s one of the best intuitive songwriters around, wher…
Recall The Dream Breath
*2024 stock. 250 copies limited edition* I recorded the album after a conversation with Caleb about doing an album for the label and talking through ideas of what it could look like - compared to my previous release, Heart Music (2022, Where to Now? Records), which was written and recorded over 1-1.5 yrs, Recall the Dream Breath was written and recorded within the span of 2 weeks in March 2021. Heart Music was written in quarantine more or less, so that album became very dense as I wasn't too co…
Music for a Bellowing Room
Big tip! Sarah Davachi returns with “Music for a Bellowing Room”, the first ever release of her audio / visual collaboration with the artists and filmmaker Dicky Bahto, originally commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Sprawling to an incredible three hours of sublime, minimalist drone - composed for tape loops, synth and delay - that draws the ear toward microscopic shifts and details, we've adored every second of this truly monumental work.

Les nœuds lunaires
Tip! "It seems that this morning the moon has swapped its pale coldness for an acid yellow: the journey begins as the night draws to a close. Bodies writhe, given over to some mystical revelation: would have we forgotten that the day was going to rise? Chaos stands there in rare purity, like a farewell to all hesitation. Black celebration. After the introduction, the title track ‘les orvets’ sets the tone: powerful and synthetic waves, like a trip, the rhythm is tenuous and the sounds so thick …
Emigré
De Fabriek Teams up with the great Ausland (Roberto Auser) for this wonderful journey. It's an album that travels the globe in search for a common language, only to find a Babylonian Confusion of Tongues
This Here Empty Room
*150 copies limited edition* ‘This here empty room’ is a collection of thirteen miniature compositions for solo acoustic guitar and solo piano. Pieces i until vii are played by Frederik Leroux on steel-string acoustic guitar, pieces viii until xiii are played by pianist Heleen Van Haegenborgh.
This album is another exploration of the acoustic space, as you might expect from Leroux. What is new is the purely composed nature of the music, giving Leroux full control over the soundworld he wants to …
