The Necks return with a new 3 hour long, triple album ‘Disquiet’ - shifting gears between ascendant kosmische blues to knotted late night jams and a widely panoramic ambient sprawl, RIYL Miles Davis, Talk Talk, Bohren, Gruppo, Alice
On 2025’s most keenly anticipated tech-noise album Blawan goes apeshit, bulldozing rhythms x panel beaten atonalities recklessly tilted between techno, proper, and the sort of rudely grotesque grindcore mutations found in his Persher project
Kevin Drumm’s definitive dose of sweltering microtonal heck, 2002, a hard reference point 20+ years later. It's masterfully disciplined, visionary music with effects analogous to Roland Kayn’s head-mangling wormholes x Merzbow’s masticated polychromatics
post-punk legend Stano -collaborator of Michael O’Shea, Roger Doyle, Colm O’Coisoig (MBV) - lends his first vox in years to spiritual brethren David Kitt (New Jackson), big one if yr on the DJ Sotofett x Wah Wah Wino 'nuuuum
Ugandan rave disruptor and “demon of the Nile” Authentically Plastic charges up a mean 2nd LP of cranky cyberdub and sinuous Kongo tekno for the inimitable Hakuna Kulala - RIYL Slikback, Crystallmess, Nkisi 🔥
Éliane Radigue’s momentous first composition for an acoustic instrument, recorded in 2006 with cellist Charles Curtis, embracing the elusive ‘wolf tone’ - the inherent, natural acoustic instability in string instruments that produces howling vibrations
Al Wootton’s Trule host a truly outstanding session of needlepoint techno steppers dub by Đ.K. - absolutely required listening for fans of Muslimgauze, Shackleton, Raime, Carrier
Pat Thomas makes his copper-plated piano sound like wormholing electronic synthesis?!
a truly prolific collaborator with everyone from Mark Fell to Derek Bailey, Tony Oxley and Lol Coxhill to John Butcher - with a super strong new solo outing for Nyahh
Moodymann Black Mahogani (2004) Deluxe 3LP Reissue (2025)
A Detroit masterpiece, mercifully back in circulation on vinyl for as long as stocks last (ie, not long) - don’t think twice if you spent the last 20 years kicking yourself for missing out
Maiden vinyl edition of some of Craig Tattersall’s earliest work as The Humble Bee, coveted for its hand-stitched weft of ambient fabric - RIYL The Boats, BoC, The Caretaker, Basinski’s disintegrating loops, Pole’s crackle dubs
Highest grade chopped & screwed proto-Goa trance invocations from Full Circle with the latest in a series of prized releases for Good Morning Tapes, edition of 300 copies - now shipping ✨🙏✨
Inspired by Alan Lomax & Seamus Ennis’ legendary ‘50s surveys, Nyahh grab hearts again with a deep dive into a cappella singing native to Ireland since at least the C.13th, a mix of candid iPhone and studio recordings. Properly done us in, this one
Joachim Nordwall on a grand piano and Leif Elggren reading prepared texts - produced by Swedish linchpin Linus Andersson and sounding something like John Duncan scoring late Scott Walker x Ghédalia Tazartès. A+++
