ELEKTRO GUZZI	Liquid Center	2LP	PALAZZO RECORDINGS	PALAZZO 012LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 Elektro Guzzi return with their 11th studio album, Liquid Center -- more focused than ever, yet more sonically open. The album presents the trio on a new level: their sense of precision and structure meets an unexpected depth and warmth. The sound is more restrained, more subtle -- and in this way, it gains even more presence. What stands out: this album sounds different. And it feels different too. Over the course of a year, the band developed a recording technique that translates their analog live energy into a sonic image that captures both the physicality of a band in space and the cool abstraction of techno. The result is a sound that doesn't seek loudness, but detail -- clear, warm, deep, and with an almost artificial precision. Liquid Center is not a loose collection of tracks but a coherent album experience. With every listen, it opens up a little more: a new texture, a shifted perspective, another layer emerging from the space between groove and sound. Maybe it's the music that's changing. Or maybe it's just the way you hear it.

DAMASCUS KNIVES	The First Cuts	LP	RUSTBLADE	RBL 098LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2025 "Damascus Knives is the latest project from David Christian (Cervello Elettronico), delivering a raw fusion of old-school EBM and dark, minimal industrial atmospheres. Driven by vintage synths, relentless arpeggiators, distorted kick drums, and abrasive noise samples, this release is a relentless dive into the underground dancefloor. For fans of Ministry's Twitch era and the most electronic side of Clock DVA, Damascus Knives brings a stripped-down, mechanical energy that captures the spirit of alternative and minimal dance music. Limited transparent red marble vinyl."

FRUIT DISTRO COLLECTIVE	Just.Life.	LP	RECORDS WE RELEASE RECORDS	RWRR 002LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Just. Life. is FDC's second endeavor after their 2022 debut Some Kind Of Wisdom. The A-side draws inspiration from everyday life. Things that are often overlooked. Birds whistling. Just being somewhere spending time together. Whereas the first four tracks open up a can of playful jazz the B-side explores more heavy conceptualizations. Birth and love for a child and the passing of a friend. Life and death. The cyclicity of it all. Fruit Distro Collective is a project by long-time friends Boris van der Hoff and Tristan Coco. Raised on boombap beats, schooled through jazz composition and inspired by Afro and Latin styles. Pour some reel-to-reel tape sauce over it et voilá.

IRISARRI, RAFAEL ANTON	A Fragile Geography (10th Anniversary) (Yellow Vinyl)	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 021YE-LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Yellow color vinyl version. Rafael Anton Irisarri's landmark work reimagined. Marking the tenth anniversary of the American composer's critically acclaimed album A Fragile Geography, this new edition arrives renewed, both sonically and visually. First released in 2015 during a period of personal upheaval and creative reinvention, it endures as a testament to resilience, transformation, and the connection we hold with the places that shape us. Written in the aftermath of a devastating theft, A Fragile Geography was born out of loss. Just days before a cross-country move to New York, Irisarri's entire Seattle-based studio was wiped out. Instruments. Recordings. Archives. Gone without a trace. He arrived on the East Coast to an empty room and the daunting task of starting over. Composed and recorded in the rural woods of the Hudson Valley, the album took shape in seclusion, surrounded by nature, and through a process guided by improvisation. Embracing limitations, Irisarri wove textural layers of field recordings with half-remembered melodies from his Seattle years, piecing them together like fragments of memory. Among its defining sounds is "Empire Systems," a monumental centerpiece built around a simple four-chord progression, organ textures, and guitar drones. Gradually, the track expands into layers of immersive loops and thick, enveloping distortion that wash over the listener like a rolling wave. More than a career highlight, A Fragile Geography has laid the foundation for Black Knoll studio, which Irisarri rebuilt from the ground up. The studio has since grown into a creative hub for countless projects, with Irisarri engineering records for iconic music figures like Terry Riley, Ryuichi Sakamoto, William Basinski, MONO, Devendra Banhart, Grouper, Emeralds, Steve Hauschildt, Julianna Barwick, and many others. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with exceptional attention to detail, this anniversary edition uncovers every nuance in the sound design, enhancing clarity and presence. With each listen, new elements emerge, inviting discovery and reconnection.

JASSS	Eager Buyers	LP	AWOS	AWOS 001LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS, presents her third LP, Eager Buyers. It's the inaugural release on her own new platform called AWOS, which also encompasses musical, AV and art collaborations, live events, and a radio show. Eager Buyers is an observation of longing, of memory, of attempted connection, of lost innocence, and irreconcilable dreams. It's the sound of broken promises for a bright future, where rose-tinted glasses have lost their clarity, dirtied with disaffection over time. Across this sultry, smoky, cinematic epic, JASSS attempts to process mixed feelings amidst the modern malaise. Alluringly atmospheric and cerebral, but bold and direct, with high-spec sound design, JASSS spaces each element with expert definition. Searing swathes of noise nestle with crisp breakbeats, billowing bass, dark ambience, prepared piano, phosphorescent electronics and calibrated percussion. A sort of anti-nostalgia, the record lives in a contemporary purgatory of oblique moods which hover in the psyche, somewhere between uncertainty, foreboding, and guarded anticipation. The raw metal of bass guitar strings plays a key part too, ranging from ornate melodic phrases, shoegazy drones, and attitude-riven hard twangs. Vocals come from JASSS herself, plus James K and Alias Error on the track "It's A Hole." The heavy, hauntological atmospherics are in part due to the addition of field recordings -- the discreet, but spiritually-loaded incidental sounds of a place which can capture its history, with the acoustics somehow retaining an emotional imprint of lives long gone. If pressed for descriptive reference points, "masterfully-produced-post-punk-post-rockbaroque-gothy-dubby-trip-hop" might be a starting point, but that doesn't do it justice. Equally spectral in their dream-like quality are the musical signposts, where genre elements are familiar, but somehow also unplaceable, untethered from context, and beautifully strange in their new composite. At points there's an air of strangely dazed calm too -- a kind of frazzled cool in the face of desolation, and even tender, lighter moments, which glint through the cracks.

PROPAGANDA	Remix Encounters	CD	BUREAU B	BB 482CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Electronic pioneers Propaganda follow up their acclaimed 2024 comeback with Remix Encounters, a broad and brilliant remix album featuring Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber, Schiller, and more. Released on Bureau B, this remix collection reflects the enthusiasm Propaganda's return after three decades of silence has ignited among contemporary artists, who approached the project with fresh energy and creative freedom. "Since breaking new ground with their seminal 1985 debut A Secret Wish and its pioneering remix companion Wishful Thinking, Propaganda have thrived on transformation. Yet rather than revisiting the past, Remix Encounters looks forward, building on the vitality of last year's album and celebrating its widespread critical and fan acclaim. What began as a remix request from Finnish electronic maestro Jori Hulkkonen, returning the favor after Ralf Dörper's contribution to his last album, quickly blossomed into an international collaboration, drawing in luminaries such as Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium), and Schiller. Embracing openness, Propaganda spent the fourth quarter of 2024 encouraging the wide range of musicians inspired by their triumphant return to offer their own interpretations. Each brought their distinctive voice to the material, resulting in a thrilling journey through electronic subgenres, from EBM and industrial to rave, ambient, house, and beyond. Rhys Fulber opens the album with a brooding, machine-funk reinvention of 'They Call Me Nocebo,' evolving from a sleek, sinuous introduction into a relentless pneumatic stomp. Next, Schiller offers a powerful remix of 'Distant' that balances raw electro-house and techno energy with the emotional depth of EBM, before Moby transforms 'Purveyor of Pleasure' into a furious early-'90s rave anthem, fusing breakbeats and rolling basslines that pulse with nostalgic urgency yet feel unmistakably modern. Elsewhere, Finnish polymath Jimi Tenor infuses 'Vicious Circle' with cosmic jazz and dub textures, while Pyrolator, a key figure in Düsseldorf's avant-garde scene, delivers a shadowy reinterpretation of 'LoveCraft.' Cult With No Name also contribute a brooding electro-ballad version of the same track. Propaganda's own Michael Mertens teams up with longtime collaborator Hans Steingen to re-envision 'Dystopian Waltz,' shifting its time signature to a gripping 4/4 and intensifying its ominous mood for darker dance floors. The range of remixers speaks volumes: from industrial punks Gewalt and synth purists Metroland to ambient pioneers Tangerine Dream, Remix Encounters unites an eclectic group of electronic artists bound by a shared reverence for innovation and Propaganda's distinctive voice." --Patrick Ryder

BLUMM & NILS FRAHM, F.S.	Handling	12"	LEITER	LTR 053EP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 A luminous new chapter in a singular collaboration Handling, Nils Frahm and F.S. Blumm present their fifth collaborative album-an immersive, 40-minute journey across just three tracks that radiate intimacy, invention, and sonic depth. Building on the dub-inflected textures of 2X1=4, the duo now ventures into more delicate, exploratory terrain, where every sound feels intentional and alive. Recorded at Frahm's LEITER studio in Berlin's Funkhaus, Handling is a masterclass in subtlety and sonic storytelling. Each of the three compositions-titled Leuchter-glows with quiet energy, evoking miniature worlds through a rich palette of instruments: pianos, celestas, cristal baschets, glockenspiels, guitars, and a wide array of percussive textures. Blumm and Frahm's long-standing friendship and mutual trust allow for a rare creative freedom. Their contrasting approaches-Blumm's playful chaos and Frahm's structured intuition-merge into a sound that is neither one nor the other, but something entirely new. Handling is not just music-it's a living, breathing sound sculpture, full of warmth, wonder, and the joy of discovery. A must for fans of ambient, experimental, and genre-defying music.

TOUCH, JENNIFER	Aging At Airports (Black Vinyl)	LP	FABRIKA RECORDS	FP 007A-LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Jennifer Touch presents Aging at Airports on Fabrika Records. The idea for the record title came before the music even existed as Touch was spending an increasing amount of time in airports while touring. In her own words: 'It felt like I waste a large part of my life waiting for the next show to come, to entertain and perform my music and build timeless moments with others. This waiting, the slowly ticking time at the gate, was in complete contrast to what I want to do as an artist: to be in flux, to create things that will last forever. The airport, as a busy hub, was like a symbol of this ambivalence. And a reminder: every second, whether waiting or on the move, I have to accept that I am fading, that my creative power, my face, and my body are fading. As a (performing) artist, everything feels like a strange contrast. While you want to stay true to yourself and speak authentically from the soul, you are also expected to appear forever young, and powerful. Artists are often wanted to distract people, but creating this art forces me to confront my own transience. I feel the struggle to fit into this powerful artificial framework that the world has set and the desire to break free from it.'"

ROACH & ROGER KING, STEVE	Dust To Dust	LP	PROJEKT RECORDS	PRO 079LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Released in 1998, Roach & King's vivid world of desert reveries continues to engage new listeners with a sound that rides trails no electronic artist has travelled before or since. Dust to Dust's guitars, harmonicas and washboard rhythms find their place next to a wagon full of electronics on nine tracks revealing the slow heat of wide-open spaces and barren environments. The ambient-blues grows in the cactus shadow swathes of haunting atmospheres and Morricone-like nylon twang flourishes. It's a bold narrative of bygone eras with haunting melodies drawn from the desertscape told with the instruments of old and new pioneers. This is the music, and even more the soundtrack, to lingering ghosts and lost but not forgotten dreams of restless souls driven to 'Go West by God!' It's a transcendent musical masterpiece, an alluring, provocative legend inspired by the rolling tumbleweeds, barren landscape, and hardscrabble lifestyle of the Old West. Alternative Press: 'After looking toward these desert vistas for visions deep within and far beyond the earth, Roach pays homage to the brave souls who forged the hard road west. Joined by fellow Arizonian and guitarist Roger King. Roach's deep synths and King's Kottke-esque guitars sing and moan, allowing the sound to tell the story of an era when pioneers risked everything in pursuit of new worlds and promised fortunes. Like a ghost train winding through layers of memory and history, Dust to Dust has the mystery and allure of 150-year-old photographs of strangers whose eyes and stoic faces suggest a thousand untold stories.'"

HINODE TAPES & HIROKI CHIBA	Ita	LP	INSTANT CLASSIC	CLASSIC 101LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Ita is the third album form Polish trio Hinode Tapes. This time, Piotr Chęcki, Piotr Kaliński, and Jacek Prościński are joined by Japanese double bassist Hiroki Chiba (who has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, Eiko Ishibashi, and Otomo Yoshihide, among others). Their joint album is titled Ita and features four new compositions at the intersection of ambient and free jazz. This extraordinary collaboration came about thanks to Piotr Kaliński. 'We were connected by a mutual colleague who understands the music of Hinode Tapes and Chiba quite well. He recommended that I go to one of his concerts and it just blew me away, because Hiroki explored the territories between jazz and ambient in a masterful fashion,' explains Kaliński. 'From my perspective, Chiba's presence adds a new color to Hinode Tapes' music. Apart from the fact that objectively he is a great musician, this is our first album to feature a double bass player. This aspect determined the way we made decisions on this album in terms of managing sonic space,' adds Prościński. At the beginning of 2025, Hinode Tapes played a short tour in Japan. 'It was a very strong experience. We saw a genuinely great interest from the audience, and we were watched on stage by such legendary and important people to me as Inoyama Land and Chihei Hatakeyama,' recalls Kaliński. 'During the concerts we tried to compress our approach and musical aesthetics. We also played strongly improvised concerts with Japanese artists -- Hiroki Chiba, Momose Yasunaga (known from our previous album) and Ko Ishikawa, a virtuoso playing the traditional Japanese instrument shō. Ko collaborated with Ryūichi Sakamoto on the album Async. It was an honor and a big challenge for us.' Ita brings another change of aesthetics in the context of the Hinode Tapes discography. 'Our previous album was quite dark, you could even say gloomy. On this one there is more sun, colors in a higher register, like bells, triangles, janissaries,' says the drummer."

NEW BRUTALISM	Requiescat Record	LP	COMPUTER STUDENTS	CS 012LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 Requiescat Record is the new album by New Brutalism, a minimal rock quartet formed in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1998. The band comprises vocalist Shane Elliott, guitarist/vocalist Matt Hall, bassist/vocalist David Basford, and drummer Carey Balch. The three-track release -- "088," "087" and "089," in keeping with their strict numerical naming convention -- was recorded in 2021 by the late, great Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service in 2025. For the band, "less is more" became a guiding principle -- channeled through an unwaveringly raw, direct, and honest approach to sound. Out of partly sound, partly aesthetic, mainly a thirst to build, New Brutalism performs on aluminum instruments built by the band members. They chose the material because it's lighter than steel, more consistent than wood, and easy to machine. Above all, it's precise -- and thereby, can produce precise music. In 2021, New Brutalism entered Electrical Audio to record Requiescat Record. Named after a Latin term meaning a prayer for the repose of a dead person, Requiescat Record retroactively became a dedication to Albiniʼs memory. The band acknowledges that so much of the aesthetic, interests and sounds they admired are a product of his influence and the circle of artists around him. His death instigated a state of urgency. A desire to act became more pressing, to strike more often, and usher in a new era of productivity. Shattered and kinetic, forged by time and tragedy, with god-given sonic quality, Requiescat Record may acknowledge the dead, but this music feels ever so alive.

WINTERLIGHT	Winterlight	2LP	WINTERLIGHT RECORDINGS	WINTER 001LP
$45.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 Emerging from the shadows of a small apartment in Chicago's South Side Pilsen neighborhood in 1999, Winterlight was produced and mixed by Daniel Thompson over the course of three years, from 1999 to 2002. It's an intimate and evocative album that captures a pivotal chapter in Thompson's life and echoes the spirit of a formative era in the underground music scene. Thompson's journey began in the heat of Houston, Texas, where his love for sound quickly became an obsession. By the late '90s, he was among the first DJs in Houston to champion the sound of Chicago house, often driving long distances from Texas to Chicago in search of records, inspiration, and connection. These trips -- equal parts pilgrimage and education -- eventually led him to relocate to Chicago, where his artistic vision would fully take shape. Winterlight is the direct result of that move. Crafted over several years, the album embodies a raw, hands-on approach to production, built from analog synths, outboard gear, and hours of meticulous layering. Thompson leaned on tools like the Kurzweil K2000, SE-1, Juno-106, and classic processors such as the DP4 and TC Electronic units, shaping each track with care and intention. Blending atmospheric textures with hypnotic rhythm and subtle experimental flourishes, Winterlight captures the sound of an artist deeply engaged with his tools and surroundings. His extensive vinyl collection -- over 3,000 records -- served as both palette and inspiration, with carefully chosen samples lending further depth and narrative to the music. Now set for release, Winterlight invites listeners into a soundscape that is both immersive and personal. More than just an album, it is a sonic document of a moment in time -- rich in tone, memory, and intent. For those willing to listen deeply, Winterlight offers a rare window into the underground spirit of the early 2000s and the inner world of a producer finding his voice.

ZIUR	Home	LP	RAUM MUSIK	RAUM 006LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 On her fifth album, Ziúr considers not just what home symbolizes from her perspective, but the word's resonance to the diverse community that surrounds her, and how their stories have impacted her over the years. Indeed, it's the first time she's felt it necessary to examine her own nationality. In the past, she's deliberately avoided labelling herself as German, feeling disconnected from her country's politics, culture and even the German language itself. Stepping up to provide a different narrative, Ziúr scours her soul, writing and singing in German for the first time and proposing growth and evolution, not fear and regression. A solemn mood permeates the album's opening track 'Brown is the Color', and Ziúr sings in measured, slow-motion breaths over noisy synth oscillations and doomed piano flourishes. Already, it's a significant departure from her last run of releases, veering away from the frenetic, satirical chaos of 2023's Hakuna Kulala-released Eyeroll or its fantastical, dubby predecessor Antifate. Ziúr pulls on real world insights here, tracing her oldest, dearest musical inspirations to present her origins to anybody who might be listening. It's pop music in its own way, inverted and reconstructed to fit snugly into her well-established sonic landscape. On "No Yawn," brittle, downsampled hi-hats and industrial scrapes ping-pong around distorted riffs, provided by James Ó Ceallaigh aka WIFE. Even the beatless "All Odds No Chants," a collaboration with Elvin Brandhi and Sara Persico, reveals another room in Ziúr's autobiographical suite. An openness carries the whole record, whether she's crying harsh truths over damaged orchestral scrapes on the album's goth-y title track, or duetting with Manchester's Iceboy Violet on "Through the Trees." On the former, Ziúr's voice soars, echoing hypnotically over unsettling analog distortions and gnarled strings. It's one of the eeriest and most beautiful tracks she's penned, camouflaging its broken electronics with ghostly moans and theatrical punctuations. By inviting in her own demons, Ziúr has been able to write her most personal album. Her relationship with home will always be thorny, but through music, she's been able to create a place to exist that's truly comfortable and protective.
