Dive into the depths of Amor Fati, an album that bridges eras of timeless electronic soundscapes.

HILLER, HOLGER	Ein Bundel Faulnis in der Grube	LP	BUREAU B	BB 441LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 LP version. With Ein Bündel Fäulnis in der Grube, Holger Hiller presented his solo debut having left Palais Schaumburg. Originally released in 1983 on the Düsseldorf scene label Ata Tak, an international release followed in 1984 via Cherry Red Records. Combining electronic sequencer sounds and sampling fragments with unconventional lyrics its multidisciplinary approach locates it somewhere between the pop and avant-garde. Bureau B is now making the work accessible again on its 40th anniversary. "In 1983, during the completion of this album, some ideas and views of the future changed for me. While everyone's mind was still haunted by the admonishingly gloomy vision of George Orwell's 1984, the release of the motion picture Blade Runner had a lasting effect. It depicted a world that can no longer be saved: Acid rain is pouring down derelict buildings and humanity has to confront fugitive cyborgs as a result of artificial intelligence gone wrong. The future however was not quite so clear-cut as those pictures: dystopian imaginings were also being layered with mosaic pieces of a pop history that saw itself as a source of hope, a supposed counterculture. Could this promise be fulfilled or was it simply a 'productive misunderstanding?' With the onset of digitalization, the new musical tools -- first and foremost the techniques of 'sampling' and computerized sequencing -- were enthusiastically met by me and many others, a generation of William Burroughs readers whose sensibility had been nurtured by 'cut-up' and 'automatic writing.' And so everything flowed together on this album: the esoteric heritage of various hippie and alternative movements and their expressions in 'pop,' the underlying currents of 'Modernism' and the influences of European 'neue musik.' The resulting musical pieces on the album celebrate this moment in its simultaneity, its confusion and its new confidence." --Holger Hiller

ELSEWHERE, SOFA	Fake Yourself	2LP	GLOSSY MISTAKES	GLOSSY 017LP
$39.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 Fake Yourself is an act of revolt as much as it is a celebration of life and an expression of human alienation. As usual in most of his work, soFa here reflects musical contrasts and contradictions as our existence so often does. It's about sadness and joy, ups and downs and the fine line which connects them to tell a story. Fake Yourself comes as a spontaneous output of an artist escaping a scene of which the constant superficiality is unavoidable. Mistakes and unusual production with a strong DIY flavor are a conscious choice to keep the spontaneity vibing. A pure and direct self, exploring a realm of sound with sharp curiosity, emotion, and humor. Where simplicity and complexity marry. soFa leaves all boundaries behind and lets many of his influences confluence to find his very own sound. One can feel it is a very personal exploration which shines in its authenticity. Unconsciously or not, traces of IDM, disco, new beat, dub, and Krautrock cross heavenly paths and get augmented with ironic vocals and his hypnotic signature basslines. Everything seems to make sense, to fill the chapters of an adventurous short novel. A man shaping and finding his authentic sound and take you to this journey of his very own "style-no-style". All tunes were improvised, recorded, and arranged within ten days in a wooden cabin, isolated in the middle of nature in Alentejo/Portugal in spring 2022. This album was not meant to happen. No overdubs.

CIDRON, JUAN MANUEL	SLG3	2LP	EXTRARRADIO	EXT 024LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 "Juan Manuel Cidrón has always been immersed in music. As a child, he fell in love with a radio adorned with flashing lights -- radio is now one of his professions. He was equally captivated by the music that enveloped him. With whatever little money he had as a child and during his youth, he would spend all his money on records and analog machines. Music is everything to him, and that's why we understand his compositions as a celebration of life. The vastness that his electronic keyboards offer us is akin to the immensity of the desert, snow, and wind. Albums like Tau or Sonido Para Acciones belong to the realm of Spanish electronic music and are cherished by enthusiasts of sonic poetry. This vinyl edition holds a special place as it marks a return to analog, a medium Cidrón reveres and continues to embrace. In this way, it becomes a classic, a testament to his unwavering commitment to the quality that arises from the harmonious blend of natural and artificial rhythms. The result is always him: a tangible presence that brings us closer to dreams and the unadorned face of the world." --F. Labordeta Blanco All tracks were written, produced, and mixed by J.M. Cidrón between 2017-2019 at the Extrarradio Studio in Almeria.

BARLEY, KIRK	Marionette	LP	ODDA RECORDINGS	ODA 002LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 The organic minimalism of composer and producer Kirk Barley is collected on his new studio album Marionette, released via Odda Recordings. Whether drawing from field recordings, found sound, instrumental improvisations or synthetic processes, Barley's compositions evoke unfolding sound worlds, as simple ideas or motifs are layered and developed into complex set-pieces that reveal themselves over time. Marionette showcases the breadth and variety of the Yorkshire-born artist's sound, weaving together familiar and uncanny moods of rural England and its Victorian architecture, as suggested by the gated garden print of the album's cover. Unfurling between physical textures -- the patina of vinyl crackle or gentle rain -- and the hyper-real spaces that his music inhabits, Barley describes the compositions as "landscape or static scene paintings," with many of the album's tracks taking nature's rhythms as their compositional cue. Drawing from jazz, minimalism and techno, Barley focuses on the detailed qualities of sound, experimenting with time signatures, temporals and tuning systems. His esoteric alter-ego Bambooman (2013-2018) found a home on Matthew Herbert's Accidental imprint, releasing the album Whispers in 2017. In contrast, under the pseudonym Church Andrews (most notably in collaboration with drummer Matt Davies), he produces synthetic, often beat-focused music, using digital synthesis and algorithmic composition techniques, with the live drum performances triggering and modulating Barley's synths. The duo has recently performed at festivals such as Rewire and Waking Life, filmed sessions for Fact Magazine and Slate & Ash, and recently had their music played out by Aphex Twin. Under his own name, Barley released his debut album Landscapes (TTTT 010LP) in 2019 on 33-33 Records and received support from the likes of NTS Radio and BBC 6 Music. Barley has performed at events across the UK and Europe alongside the likes of Andy Stott, Beatrice Dillon, Jan Jelinek, MF DOOM, and Madlib. He has also completed commissioned work for the British Art Show, Camden Arts Centre, MSCTY and the Open Music Archive.

DAVIES, JOE	Shields In Full Sunlight	2LP	SMALLVILLE	SMALL 016LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 DJ Assam delivers his inaugural project under his own name Joe Davies. Entitled Shields In Full Sunlight and comprising eight original cuts, his debut album is full of beautiful shades, unexpected twists and twirling melodies. The past decade has seen DJ Assam releasing material for the likes of (his own imprint) Lehult, that he runs with a few friends, KANN Records, Super Tuff and Smallville Record sub-label Down by the Lake, as well as Djing regularly at hotspots across Europe and beyond. Through the project, Davies offers up textural ethereal numbers like opener "Hi Life" (featuring his brother Daniel aka Ossia, "Smile and Wave" and closing track "Nefyn." Also on offer is the more signature deep and dubby Smallville house sound with tracks like "Two Hours Earth Room," "Cygnus" (featuring Space Drum Meditation), and "AMY" (featuring Johan Kaseta), while the likes of "Echo Form" sees Davies deviate into Bruk with broken rhythms and jazzy melodies or "Movement Into The Breach," which embraces a more mystical, Balearic-tinged aesthetic. Once again Smallville delivers raw deep and understated music for the heads with Joe Davies' Shields In Full Sunlight LP. Full cover artwork by Stefan Marx.

D-DAY	Grape Iris	LP	SUB DISCOS	BUS 010LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/24/2023 Originally released as a picture disc in 1986, this is D-Day's first LP, presenting a beautiful mix of minimal synth, new wave, and bossa nova. The band was formed in October 1982 and became well-known in the Japanese indie scene. They spent over 200 hours in the studio for recording. At that time, even for major label bands, it didn't take that much time to record an album. However, as D-DAY was not a major label band, they were free to craft their own narrative. Thus, they had a lot of time to experiment with their dreamy melodies, whisper-like vocals, programmed beats, and swirling guitars. A unique album!

With resonances reminiscent of the early releases on the legendary Cold Meat Industry label, Crematorius delves into the raw and unrefined sonic experimentation that defined the genre's infancy. These tracks serve as a sonic time capsule, preserving the essence of a period when industrial music was just beginning to take shape. As you listen, you'll hear the echoes of industrial pioneers who paved the way for a genre that would later resonate across the musical landscape.

SETHI & NICOLAS JAAR, ALI	Intiha	LP	OTHER PEOPLE	OP 073LP
$30.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/17/2023 Singer, songwriter and author Ali Sethi had been entranced by Jaar's music long before they began collaborating. He'd absorbed the sounds over a number of years, listening casually and taking in their subtleties in bars and rooftop parties across Lahore and London. So when the two were finally introduced by Indian visual artist Somnath Bhatt, a regular Jaar collaborator who also handled the album's artwork, Sethi was well prepared. He began to sketch out voice notes using loops snipped from Jaar's acclaimed 2020 album Telas, improvising vocalizations and seductive Urdu poems over Jaar's weightless, time-bending productions. Improvisation has been important to the Chilean artist for many years. Before he had even started making electronic music, Jaar jammed on accordion with friends on the street in New York City. It's at the core of his practice, "a moment in time," in his own words. Sethi is best known globally for his attempts to revive the ghazal, an ancient poetic form that was taken by Sufi mystics from the Arab world to Persia and throughout the Indian subcontinent, where it captivated the royal court. It's been unfashionable in the last few decades, a mannered style associated with decadence, and Sethi offers it a new lease of life through his playfully revisionist covers and renditions. Sethi updates the ghazal form by using his years of training in raga music, lifting metaphors that reflect his journey as an out-of- place queer kid in Pakistan who became a US citizen and now lives in New York City.

ROSI & TEZ, SAVERIO	Rote Um	CD	BACKWARDS	BW 008CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/17/2023 A fortunate and successful meeting "between the romantic and the analytical, the sentimental and the pragmatic." This double soul lives inside the ambient-electronics contained in Rote Um, the debut-album by the artistic partnership between TeZ (Maurizio Martinucci, member of Clock DVA since 2010) and Saverio Rosi (aka Leastupperbound and member of the band Open to the Sea with Enrico Coniglio and Matteo UIggeri). Both Italian composers based in Amsterdam, TeZ and Rosi top a ten-year friendship by exchanging their musical skin to generate eight gems of great intensity, divided between icy dronic expanses and warm electroacoustic embraces. The main feature of Rote Um is its complementarity: Rosi's analog experiments, imbued with low-fi and field-recording, are nestled in the endless digital landscapes, with cold hues and full of hypnagogic sensations, painted by TeZ. All this gives birth to a synesthetic and touching experience, halfway between the moody ambient by Labradford and the nocturnal abstractionism by Mirt. All tracks on Rote Um were recorded and mixed in 2022 at Optobunker Studio in Amsterdam, and wizardly mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

RAISON D'ETRE	Apres Nous Le Deluge	LP	URASHIMA	UMA 176LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/17/2023 Dive into the enigmatic world of raison d'être, a mesmerizing music project masterminded by the Swedish composer and sound artist, Peter Andersson. Renowned for his profound ability to conjure immersive auditory landscapes, Andersson's raison d'être has left an indelible mark on the ambient and dark-industrial genres. At the core of "raison d'être" lies a philosophy deeply intertwined with the exploration of existential themes and the mysteries of human consciousness. Andersson's sonic tapestries are intricate and multi-layered, weaving a delicate web of dark ambient, drone, and experimental sounds. The compositions are meticulously crafted, with each note and texture contributing to a greater narrative that evokes a profound sense of immersion and contemplation. The vinyl reissue of Après Nous Le Déluge marks the beginning in the ongoing story of the project. Originally released on Sound Source in 1992, the album's title translates to "After Us, the Deluge," a phrase often attributed to Madame de Pompadour, suggesting an impending catastrophe. This sentiment echoes throughout the album, as it conjures sonic landscapes that are both foreboding and introspective. From the somber tones to the ethereal drone, Après Nous Le Déluge encapsulates raison d'être's ability to evoke emotions that reside in the shadows of our psyche. Après Nous Le Déluge is more than an album; it's a sonic meditation. The gradual evolution of sounds, the interplay of ambient elements, and the delicate nuances create an immersive experience that demands your full attention. Whether experienced through headphones or on a grand stereo system, the vinyl reissue breathes new life into this iconic release, allowing you to discover new dimensions within its familiar depths. Urashima Records' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the pristine audio quality and the exquisite packaging of this reissue. The vinyl itself becomes a portal to another world, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in raison d'être's evocative sonic universe. This reissue captures the essence of the original work while adding a touch of modern refinement, making it a must-have for both dedicated fans and those new to the world of raison d'être.

GOLDMANN, STEFAN	Acustica	CD	MACRO RECORDINGS	MACROM 074CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/17/2023 Acustica: For this acoustic sources-only mix, Stefan Goldmann cut up a vast library of recorded interpretations of 20th century avant-garde compositions. Layered segments of individual instrumental and chamber performances form emergent orchestral opulence -- just to spill over into actual orchestral segments. Goldmann has tackled acoustic archives before with his edit of multiple recordings of Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps." However, this mix traverses the disparities and convergences of seven decades of score-based music with impressively results. A metalevel polystylistic work that explores vast potentials of integration, interaction and interference. An antidote to the prevailing practice of sounding compositions in scattered, sterile isolation. Here, opposing concepts of music are channeled into one continuous flow, with a coherent DJ performance as the vehicle.

PUESTEL, RICO	Make A Way (For Women) - Special Edition	12"	EXHIBITION	XBITXS 002EP
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/10/2023 "Stop Violence Against Women" has been the life-long credo from Rico Puestel and Make A Way (For Women) is a stomping protest of 11 minutes and 11 seconds that proclaims the fortitude of women! What Rico himself has to say about it: "With my 2022 Friebe-projects Jenni and Jenni II, I started to make a public appearance on this topic of violence against women musically. Back in childhood days, I already felt an intensely unjust manner and imbalance regarding women in society and an almost predetermined non-equality. The violence always seemed so ever-present, even in the smallest details of behavior and the associated self-understanding of men within their deeper planted attitude towards. I always felt an honorable glory and profound importance in women that seems impeccable and unreachable for men. It's clear that men would just be memories and ghosts without women... Musically speaking, while growing up with Gabba and Trance in the 1990s, I simply feel no charm to nowadays reflection on these times with productions and releases that somehow just sound insincere and scheming. I'm missing the real attitude, feel and groove that doesn't even care if it's techno, house or whatever and I'm also missing some of the stylistic approaches as well as the spirit from the Minimal-era. Based on all those thoughts, Make A Way (For Women) became this clenched fist - raised for good!"

KABEAUSHE	Hold On To Deer Life, There's A Blcak Boy Behind You!	LP	MONKEYTOWN	MONKEY 128B-LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/10/2023 Kabeaushé once described their music as "the complete opposite" of the hardcore leftfield electronic sounds of their then labelmates on Nyege Nyege Tapes. And at the time that was true: the Kenyan polymath's sound on their debut album The Coming of Gaze was fiercely and single-mindedly focused towards giddy pop rush, old school party hip hop upfulness, clean sounds, gentleness, bounciness, positivity and joy. Now, though, the lines are not quite so clear. On their new material for Monkeytown, a little more rawness, weirdness and rave energy seems to have soaked in. On Hold On To Deer Life, There's A Blcak Boy Behind You, you can hear the drive and energy in every atom of the sound and lyrics of the record. This is music forged through fearless opposition to adversity, negativity and hate, and it is electric with determination to shine ever brighter and brighter, in performance as in life. This is a talent of global proportions coming to maturity, and you'd better be ready for it to explode out into the world.

SYLVERE	EP3	12"	MONKEYTOWN	MONKEY 130EP
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/10/2023 Serpentine grooves, chest-rattling bass and dextrous melodies -- Parisian producer Sylvere's productions capture the magnetic power of soundsystem music. As a producer, his heavy-hitting, mesmeric tracks have established him as one of the most exciting new voices in bass music. Through his radical arts collective LA CREOLE, Sylvere has been an essential figure in championing marginalized sounds and communities, creating an inclusive space on the dancefloor for consciousness-raising, "partying as a form of campaigning" as they put it. Sylvere's EP3 combines that same uncompromising, global outlook with the raucous energy of his earlier releases to create his most daring and sophisticated work to date. The third and final installment of a three-part EP series for Monkeytown, EP3 refines the incendiary sound palette and boisterous rhythms of its predecessors into something even more potent. His sound design in particular has been sharpened to a razor-edge, Sylvere paradoxically amping up the intensity through stripping back his productions to introduce more space. Each swaggering kick and percussive snap lands harder, humid bass rising like heat from the concrete to mingle with arcing melodies. Raised in Paris with roots in the French West Indies, Sylvere combines an immersion in the history of soundsystem music with a keen eye on the future of the music. Through both his own shapeshifting productions and his work with LA CREOLE, Sylvere celebrates Caribbean culture and identity through highlighting its indelible influence on modern dance music.

T. TOEPLITZ & REINHOLD FRIEDL, KASPER	La Fin Des Terres	2CD	ZEITKRATZER	ZKR 1101CD
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/10/2023 An astonishing meeting of two instrumentalists: Kasper T. Toeplitz (electric bass) and Reinhold Friedl (piano), but even more undoubtedly a musical union between two composers: the music is clearly built on a double thought of the architecture of time, of the creation, disappearance and mutation of textures much more than on classical virtuosity, an adequacy to the organological principles of the instruments. Piano and electric bass. Both musicians have left the familiar paths of their instruments to make them the tools of their compositional principles. This opens up new possibilities -- which here extend to the finest level of sound textures. As Laurent Nerzic turned it in the renowned French music journal Revue&corrigée #136: "This piano/electric bass duo offers us two hours of menacing music. I invite you to listen carefully to the roundness of Kasper's bass, particularly at the end of the first piece, which suddenly takes a less abstract and unexpected turn, while Reinhold's piano regularly strikes up a sustained funeral march. Two hours of organic music that never ceases to grow and diminish in perpetual motion. In any case, this disc is overflowing with finesse, richness and subtlety."

TONIQUE & MAN	Opening Soon	LP	TONIQUE RECORDS	TON 017LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/10/2023 Opening Soon is a culinary buddy movie with a background of gourmet grooves where body tricks at the turntables have been replaced by acrobatic pizza tricks. This album from Jean Tonique and Mi Man is a real tomato concentrate and ingredients cleverly dosed which abound in suave and feel-good tracks. 11 tracks that act as the perfect soundtrack to accompany the dolce vita 2.0 of this great musical duo (between Mario Bros and Cheech & Chong). A tasty and pop cuisine that gives pride of place to a nostalgia that gathers behind the tiled counter or on the dancefloor. Tonique continues to demonstrate a knowledge all in funk and finesse. He is accompanied by Man, who brings his sweetness and harmony. They combine their strength on this project initiated with the title "Day & Night" and its languorous disco tinged with rhodes and percussions with Salsoul accents. Lightness and nonchalance for a songwriting full of coolness and analogical charisma boosted by a Moog which invokes the best of the '70/'80s.
