Going back to sleep... is a lovingly gathered suite of windswept, heart-bursting contemporary DIY indie-pop and folk including new songs by Carla dal Forno, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Lewsberg-related duo The Hobknobs and Rat Columns, next to luminaries and newcomers Daily Toll, Who Cares?, The Lewers, The Sprigs, Drunk Elk, I Can I Can't, The Gabys, and Chateau. A beautiful contemporary companion of I Won't Have To Think About You (2017). Focused on Australian artists predominantly recording and performing in intimate spaces, the compilation's sentiment extends to likeminded artists around the world. A feeling of introspection that seems impossible to achieve when recording for anyone but yourself. A trip through the wonderfully diverse international pop underground, or more simply, a group of music makers performing on A Colourful Storm's imaginary stage.

RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025
Total Spook Mixtape is Artetetra's homage to the forgotten cassette and CD culture of mass-distributed commercial Halloween sound effects, horror tales, and spooky music productions across the eighties and nineties. Mainly produced in the U.S. these objects featured some of the famous names of the entertainment and commercial industry such as Prince's Dr. Fink (yes, that synth master), Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark and Hallmark as well as unknown and anonymous creatives and artists. In these tracks engineers, musicians and producers arguably had carte blanche in experimenting with extreme samples and vocal manipulation, time-based effects, extended techniques, spooky sound fonts and stock sound effects developing their unique ideas around the sound ambience of the Halloween and horror imagery's campy cliches. After digging around 30 hours of material gathered from dedicated YouTube channels and playlists such as the ones created by "Beetlemuse" and "Caleb Jones", here are some of the most endearing, weird and experimental sound designs long forgotten in the vaporware-like consumer culture of the '80s and '90s. Compiled and produced by Luigi Monteanni. Artwork by Nicola Tirabasso. Contains the short essay "Consumer Occultures, Sounding us Pervers" by philosopher Enrico Monacelli.

The latest boy band in town, Pop Vampires Cologne, opens the party with the enigmatic "Karianne." Superpitcher knows how to make a grand appearance, accompanied by high-caliber guests. His electro-pop treat "Pandora's Box" features Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor on vocals. Jürgen Paape isn't coming alone either, but with newcomer Hella in tow. "Grace (A Tale)" once again shows the resident hit maker at his best. Jörg Burger also has a table companion, the extremely talented Irene Kalisvaart, and remixes himself on top of that. Reinhard Voigt points out that money never sleeps and proceeds according to the motto: "Zahl an einem anderen Tag (Pay another day)." Brazilian whirlwind Gui Boratto returns after a long absence with the banger "Panorama X-Press." After careful consideration, Robag Wruhme has named his new track "Total" and sings in the chorus with his family for the first time. Wassermann contributes an ultra-fat remix of Mayer's "Brainwave Technology," while Michael Mayer himself marvels at the rare "Erdbeermond." Hardt Antoine's "Let Me Go" really gets the party going again before Wassermann orders a large taxi and skips out on the bill.

LP version. ATA Records presents the fourth volume of their regular soundtrack series, the Library Archives. An honest and forthright homage to the golden age of library recording, this new release is no exception -- with nods to David Shire, Roger Webb, '60s/'70s Hollywood, early anime and golden era video games. Hammond & Farfisa organ, soul flute and vibraphone are joined by the Baldwin electric harpsichord, alto flute and trumpet, all coloring the usual high-end rhythm section of drums and bongos, electric bass, piano and guitars. Moods range from the dynamic "The Galata Extraction" to the whimsical "Travers" and the romantic "Redford in Sheepskin," from the brooding "Tatsuya," the "Sword" to the sensual "Dunaway's Eyes." Walter in Gabardine and Sutherland fly the ATA library flag of '70s-era NYC soundtracks -- and both "A Dilemma for Holbrook" and "Roundtree" are drenched in soul flute so funky, it should be on the cheese counter. Now four volumes (and a couple of singles) in, The Library Archive will eventually stand as a testament to the love the ATA producers and artists have for the original composers and performers of the great music libraries of the past.

RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025
This curated collection comprises hard-to-find salsa 45s from the Discos Fuentes vaults -- deep cuts that have long flown under the radar but still light up dance floors today. This compilation also includes a range of studio experiments and covers -- where artists like Piper Pimienta, Galileo y Su Banda, and La Integración reimagined beloved hits, from boleros to vallenatos, through a distinctly Colombian salsa lens. During the golden age of vinyl -- from the 1960s through the 1980s -- Colombia produced an astonishing number of 45 rpm records -- many of them not tied to full albums, that continue to surprise collectors and music lovers today. This abundance can be attributed to many factors: affordability, jukebox demand, radio promotion, or simply the joy of sharing a small musical token with a loved one. Whatever the reason, these little records traveled far and wide, sometimes ending up in distant countries -- especially Mexico -- carried by DJs, collectors, or pirate radio waves. They became cultural passports, spreading salsa, cumbia, son montuno, and more. These tracks, once pressed in small numbers, feature top tier musicianship, fiery brass, unforgettable grooves, and lyrical gems that reflect the rich diversity of Colombia's musical landscape. Every track tells a story -- of artistic ambition, social change, regional identity, or simple joy. Some were attempts at hits, others personal expressions or studio curiosities. What they share is an authenticity that continues to resonate. These obscure gems, long scattered across dusty crates and forgotten jukeboxes, now find new life. They speak not just to the past, but to a timeless rhythm that still moves dancers and dreamers alike. Featuring Super Combo Los Famosos, Sexteto Manaure, La Protesta De Colombia, Sonora Guantanamera, Orquesta Salsa Panamericana, La Integración, Galileo Y Su Banda, The Latin Brothers, Piper Pimienta Y Su Orquesta, and Fruko Y Sus Tesos.

NECHTO returns with its second 12" vinyl compilation, continuing the mission of presenting forward-thinking techno from both rising talents and trusted names. Each of the six tracks adds a unique voice to the raw and honest collection. Mecha opens the record with "All My Love", a hypnotic debut techno track shaped by years in drum and bass. Contakt follows with "Peak Jam", a one-take hardware jam built around the warmth of a signature synth. "16th Symphony" by Human Safari is a jazz-influenced cut intended for special moments in a DJ set. Unspent delivers "Moog Gorning", a track that shifts from percussive 4x4 to broken rhythm, carrying deep personal emotion. ARGIE's "Strangers" captures the tension of connection and distance with layered percussion and melody. Franz Jäger closes with "Get Simon to sync", a rave-influenced hybrid track designed for peak-time impact.

Released on standalone CD for the first time in 33 years, this now-complete edition of the ground-breaking cult soundtrack is finally here. A cult classic of sci-fi dystopia, Decoder (1984) saw Einstürzende Neubauten's members working alongside Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV) and William S. Burroughs. It's one of the strangest (and most prescient) films of the decade. The film was made in Hamburg and Berlin, and directed by Klaus Maeck 'Muscha' (who directed several punk films). The lead roles are played by Christiane F and FM Einheit from Neubauten, who also contributed to the film's score. Genesis P-Orridge, the kingpin of the English industrial scene, also appears as a priest of the Black Noise faith. Author William S. Burroughs portrays an insurrectionist salesman of audio equipment (and contributes spoken word to the soundtrack), and American cult actor Bill Rice plays a detective. Soft Cell contributed their classic "Seedy Films," while Matt Johnson from The The wrote a frenetic, deformed song for the film that is both fantastic and painful to listen to, and Einstürzende Neubauten's "Compressed Metal" is sublime. Dave Ball (Soft Cell), Jon Caffery, and Genesis P-Orridge composed the rest of the soundtrack. A futuristic film, and a joyous application of William S. Burroughs' "The Electronic Revolution," which proposes a seditious and rather poetic method of subverting the masses and inciting them to rise up against the forces of order. CD in matt-laminate digipak with ten-page foldout booklet.

Including Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Virgil Holmes, Rod Willis, Casey Jones & The Governors, The Monotones, Jack & Jim, and other. Extensive liner notes by horror expert Roland Heinrich and careful re-mastering round off the first shocking experience on vinyl.

This record exploits it all -- everything your warped brain desires! So, invite your friends, let your hair down, and get charged by the electrical spirit of the 'man' himself."

Welcome to a kaleidoscopic picnic where you can feast on a music scene that was rich, sparkling, multi-colored, ground-breaking and it'll blow your mind. A prodigious soundscape that blends the Caribbean and the Amazon sophistication and flavors; raw yet delicate textures. Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk in Venezuela, 1968-1976 features infectious Latin rock rhythms and timeless folk melodies across 15 ultra-rare tracks -- most of which have never been reissued until now. The golden age of Caracas pop started in 1965. It replaced the wave of cloyingly romantic song writing as fresh talents leant into richer and more complex styles: folk-rock, psychedelia, soul, hard blues, symphonic pop, Latin rock etc. Singer-songwriters, experimental electric guitars and jam sessions all appeared on the scene, creating music that became increasingly refined and free. The industry took a while to catch on to this new trend and leave behind the teen idols and dream lifestyles. By the late '60s, there was a long list of new bands in the capital city. Young people finally found their voice. Featuring El Zigui Y Una Luz, Grupo Espiga, Grupo Syma, La Fe Perdida, Ladies W.C., Los Fabricantes De Muñecas, Los Memphis, La Cuarta Calle, Grupo C.I.M., Grupo Pan, Los Rangers, Los Chicos Malos, Ciruela, The Four Blues, and La Cuarta Calle.

BORNBAD 183LP

LP version. Here are fourteen tracks of untimely yet unprecedented cross-fertilization from the French West Indies: all types of music rooted in the Creole archipelago have found their way, whatsoever, to the tracklisting. Whether originating from the city or being more rural, they all go back to what Edouard Glissant, in an interview about the place of West Indian music in the Afro-American scope, called "the trace of singing, the one which got erased by slavery." The opening track features one of the emblematic orchestras of this aesthetic identity, criscrossing many music types from the archipelago. The 1974 Ray Barretto guajira is magnificently performed by Malavoi, a legendary Fayolais group. Additionally, the compilation ends on a piece by Los Martiniqueños de Francisco. Practicing the danmyé rounds (a kind of capoeiria) to the rhythm of the bèlè drum, it delivers a terrific Caterete, a kind of champeta of Afro- Colombian obedience which was originally composed by Colombian Fabián Ramón Veloz Fernández for the group Wgenda Kenya. The icing on the cake is Brazilian Marku Ribas, who found refuge in Martinique in the early 1970s, bringing his singing to the last trance-inducing track. The Los Caraïbes cover of "Dónde," a famous Cuban theme composed by producer Ernesto Duarte Brito, has a typical violin and features renowned Martinique singer Joby Valente and his piquant voice. The meaningful "Amor en chachachá" by L'Ensemble Tropicana, a band which included Haitian musicians among whom was composer and leader Michel Desgrotte, also recalls how Latin music was pervasive in the tropics in the mid-1960s. They were the ones keeping people dancing at Le Cocoteraie in Guadelupe and La Bananeraie in Martinique. Around the same time, another "foreign" band, Congolese Freddy Mars N'Kounkou's Ryco Jazz, achieved some success on both islands by covering Latin jazz classics. In a more typically salsa vein, the Super Combo, a famous Guadelupean orchestra from Pointe-Noire that was formed around the Desplan family and had Roger Plonquitte and Elie Bianay on board, adapt "Serana," a theme by Roberto Angleró Pepín. Léon Bertide's Martinican ensemble excelled at the boogaloo which had been composed by Puerto Rican saxophonist Hector Santos for the legendary El Gran Combo. Three years later, in 1972, Henri Guédon, with the help of Paul Rosine on the vibraphone, tackled the Bilongo made famous by Eddie Palmieri. On the high-value collectible single -- the first one released by Les Aiglons under the Duli Disc label -- there is a sticker classifying the track under the generic name "Afro." Digipack CD includes 20-page booklet, and liners notes in French, Spanish, English. LP version includes 6-page booklet.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Hamburg-based dub label Echo Beach is treating itself to a multidimensional portrait of its home and Hanseatic city of Hamburg. The label has already traveled the world musically and released dub sets from the UK, South Africa, New Zealand, New York, Jamaica and Germany. King Size Dub: Hamburg is the first album compilation dedicated exclusively to dub music from Hamburg.

LP version. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Hamburg-based dub label Echo Beach is treating itself to a multidimensional portrait of its home and Hanseatic city of Hamburg. The label has already traveled the world musically and released dub sets from the UK, South Africa, New Zealand, New York, Jamaica and Germany. King Size Dub: Hamburg is the first album compilation dedicated exclusively to dub music from Hamburg. Even when the label entered the stage with a compilation of UK dub, there were already sound masters such as Silly Walks and Dub Me Ruff, projects by producer Matthias Arfmann and bands such as Dub Division and Di Iries a lively dub scene in Hamburg, which has blossomed just as wildly over the decades as the Echo Beach label outside Germany, with overlaps and crossovers occurring. Now the time of harvest has come: The first Dub- Label has teamed up with the best record store in town, and not just for Dub-Heads, and pressed a groove full of versions, specials and exclusives from the Hamburg studios.
