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.

Eden Burns presents his debut album Eden Burns & The Makebelievers. The dance music prophet, notorious for his ingenious string of club tracks, is gifting the world with yet another cult-creating musical adventure. Ecstatic beats, melodies that cast a spell on you, if there ever was something to truly, blindly believe in: it's the power of music. Be free, set foot into the garden of Eden. All apples are to be bitten, the snake's venom is mildly hallucinogenic. Get your eyes opened for everything that is true enough and beyond. Bless.

RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2025
Off The Record, the new album by French collagist Roméo Poirier, is an amusing romp through the discarded history of recording studios. It contains fourteen miniatures based on accidental recordings of studio talk, revealing things that were never meant for the public: listeners hear instructions from studio staff, scraps of talk between musicians, or just microphones being adjusted, as well as false notes, false starts: everyone stops. Start again: 1, 2, 3, 4! Poirier's approach recalls "Accumulation," an artform practiced by Arman, Jean Tinguely and Daniel Spoerri that involved piling up everyday items into assemblages. The objects themselves often remained unaltered, the artistic gesture consisting in the careful curating of a distinctive selection. Poirier's audio collages explore similar terrain. The fourteen pieces on Off the Record combine more than a thousand found sounds from studio archives into complex miniatures. The audio content of these outtakes is twisted, stretched, cut, reassembled, slowed down and accelerated. Voices cut into a microgroove, from a very old recording, intertwine with digital voices gleaned from YouTube. All of them in dialogue, engaging the listener with the impression of being part of a new music group. Poirier uses the mundane routine of setting up before the actual recording gets underway to tell a universal story about working in a recording studio. And he manages something few achieve, transforming specialist knowledge into a narrative whose beauty goes far beyond its immediate subject. It speaks to everyone, because the story is told in a musical language that is open and accessible, evoking magical images reminiscent of Oz -- a world consisting less of events than of camp hallucinations, captured in grainy black-and-white photographs. En passant, Poirier shows listeners how the notion of material accumulation can produce great art. Written and produced by Roméo Poirier, mastered by Stephan Mathieu, photos by Roméo Poirier, graphic design by Tim Tetzner.

"Etant Donnes is a French duo named after Marcel Duchamp's last major work. The group consists of brothers Marc and Eric Hurtado, born in Morocco and working mainly as performance artists and musicians. Their sound can be described as a mix of field recordings, found sounds and sometimes whispered, sometimes violent vocals. They describe their sounds like this: 'Through Marc and Eric, it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressing their voices. Each event is a scream -- indeed even the glissando -- of the strength of the word that sometimes abruptly becomes a rock, a solid surface, not in the least fluvial, as is the narrative of a tale, novel or poetic epic. With both of them, there is no more trace of ancient prosodies, no more trace of the incomprehensible Sainte-Beuve who could claim: 'I have to collect a volume of prose.' The word, the voice, the volume take shape with each other, unveiling a theatre that theatre usually ignores, which has given it such things as a Samuel Beckett's Fin de Partie.' Over the years Etant Donnes have collaborated with people like Lydia Lunch, Michael Gira, Alan Vega, and Genesis P-Orridge. Les Cent Jours Clairs was the group's sixth album and was originally released on Bain Total in 1984."

Buh Records presents the release of Cello in My Life, the new album by the renowned Ecuadorian composer Mesías Maiguashca. This deeply personal work reflects an intimate exploration of the relationship between the cello and the artist's life, realized in collaboration with celebrated cellist Gaby Schumacher. The album features six remarkable compositions spanning Maiguashca's career from 1972 to 2015. Each piece offers a unique perspective on his groundbreaking approach to music, blending acoustic and electronic elements to create an immersive sound experience. Highlights include: "Übungen" (1972-73): A fascinating dialogue between cello and synthesizer, performed by Gaby Schumacher and Maiguashca himself. "Lindgren" (1973): A haunting composition for cello and magnetic tape. "El Oro" (1992): A meditation on cultural collisions between the Old and New Worlds, featuring flute, cello, and spoken word. "The Spirit Catcher" (1993): An evocative piece inspired by the writings of Carlos Castañeda, combining cello and electronics. "unvermindert weiter" (1993): A duet for cello and accordion that highlights the interplay between the two instruments. "por el yasuní" (2015): A poignant commentary on the protests to protect Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, featuring violin, cello, and electronic textures. This release also marks the second collaboration between Maiguashca and Buh Records, following the critically acclaimed 2021 collection Música para cinta magnética (+) instrumentos (1967?1989). Cello in My Life stands as a testament to Maiguashca's enduring legacy as one of the most significant voices in contemporary and experimental music from Latin America. The album's intricate soundscapes and profound themes promise to captivate both long-time admirers and new listeners alike. Set for release on February 28, 2025, the album will be available on digital platforms and as a physical CD edition. This milestone in Maiguashca's discography further cements his reputation as a pivotal figure in the realm of contemporary and experimental music from Latin America.

"Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio program when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke, was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the Sky label, home of many Krautrock bands. Tietchens often uses special source materials for his compositions such as water ('Seuchengebiete'), human voices ('Von Mund zu Mund'), paper ('Papier ist geduldig'). He is associated with the Industrial music scene through his collaborations and releases on labels such as United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico or Dom Records. Tietchens never studied composition, he has no academic background, everything he does is self-taught or learning by doing. Achim Wollscheid is a media artist whose work over the past 20 years has been at the forefront of experimental music. He has performed and presented installation projects internationally. His work in sound has led to an interest in the relation between sound, light and architectural space, which he pursues through public, interactive and electronic projects. He is a founding member of Selektion, an organisation for the production and distribution of information systems. Achim also forms the collective S.B.O.T.H.I., derivated from research from the '40s: Sexual Behaviour Of The Human Infant, later renamed to Swimming Behaviour Of The Human Infant. Recently, when Asmus Tietchens needed space in his Hamburg flat, he went through boxes in his cupboard and found a recording credited to himself and Achim Wollscheid. It turned out to be an album originally recorded 20 years ago for the Ritornell label (Mille Plateaux) that was, for reasons unknown now, shelved and forgotten."

Stefan Goldmann's Input translates electronic music into performance formats for human players of acoustic instruments. The standard remix process is thus inverted, by providing the electronics first. Then composers backwards-engineer what they hear into scores for ensemble. The original, synthesized version isn't available for the audience: Its hidden shape can only be guessed at through its acoustic translations. By collaborating with multiple composers, the process of direct auditory comparison allows for multidimensional insights. It reveals common traits in unlikely places and highlights differences between individual approaches. Ambiguities of sound/score relations, emergent parallelisms and unexpected congruencies become part of the sensory and cognitive experience. The three versions in this release -- by Daniel Chernov, Adrian Pavlov, and Lukas Tobiassen -- were recorded at Sofia's 180 Degrees Festival and performed by the stellar group of musicians from Bulgaria, France and Switzerland which came together in Ensemble 180°. The live recordings were further processed by Stefan Goldmann and now represent a stunning sonic hall of mirrors, with multiple vectors of transformation embedded in this dialogue.

A long-awaited reissue of an ultra-rare 7-inch single, originally released as a promo-only item from handsome boy, the 1990 masterpiece by Inoue Yosui -- widely regarded as one of the greatest singer-songwriters in Japanese music history. "Pi Po Pa," arranged by Haruomi Hosono was featured on Heisei No Oto, a compilation released by music from memory. The album's standout track, "Shonen Jidai," remains one of Japan's most iconic and beloved songs. Also included on this 7-inch is "Yume Migokochi," a pinnacle of Japanese Balearic sound, arranged by Yuji Kawashima -- keyboardist of EP-4. Exclusive to this release is also "Kurenai Suberi," an overlooked gem that might best be described as Inoue's take on cold-funk.

Originally recorded in the Dutch towns of Ureterp and Groningen between 2003 and 2005, Through Friendly Waters marks a pivotal moment in Reimer Eising's -- better known as Kettel -- journey through melodic braindance and ambient electronica. With his classical training on piano and a refined sensibility for gentle electronic textures, Kettel weaves together shimmering piano motifs, warm ambient textures, playful breakbeats, and pastoral atmospheres that shimmer with emotional resonance. First released in 2005 via his own label Sending Orbs, the album soon achieved cult status among IDM fans, celebrated for balancing playful compositional elegance with heartfelt sonic depth. TFW still remains as a timeless soundtrack that perfectly encapsulates why Kettel remains a key figure of electronic music enthusiasts two decades on. To honor its twentieth anniversary, Lapsus Records presents Through Friendly Waters (20th Anniversary Edition), marking the album's debut on vinyl within the Perennial Series. This edition has been remastered by Alex Ferrer and redesigned by Basora, resulting in a deluxe version that also includes the tracks "Unistar" and "Toen," which were originally released only on CD by the Timothy Really label back in 2007.

Italian producer, musician, DJ, and groove architect Sam Ruffillo presents his long-awaited debut album Tipo Così on Toy Tonics -- a sun-drenched, genre-blurring statement that blends classic house with Mediterranean flair, romantic funk, and tongue-in-cheek Italo vibes. Over 11 expertly crafted tracks, Ruffillo delivers a dancefloor-ready, emotionally rich LP that connects deep musicality with irresistible rhythm and light-hearted elegance. After three acclaimed EPs and collaborations with revered artists such as Barbara Boeing, Kapote, and Fimiani, Ruffillo has firmly cemented himself as a core artist on the Berlin-based label. Known for his unmistakable signature sound -- a warm mix of vintage disco, '90s house, and Italian vocals -- Sam's music has garnered widespread DJ support from tastemakers like Gerd Janson, Palms Trax, Seth Troxler, and DJ Tennis, while becoming a staple on Italian airwaves. Tipo Così is the natural culmination of a musical journey that's both playful and profound -- a travel diary written in grooves, synth stabs, and melodies that feel like postcards from a parallel Mediterranean universe. The album expands and deepens Ruffillo's world into a fully immersive experience: lush emotional chords meet tight syncopated grooves, vintage synth textures collide with irresistibly catchy pop refrains, and the boundary between sincerity and playful irony is exquisitely blurred. Entirely written, produced, and recorded in Italy, in his beloved hometown of Bologna, the album finds Ruffillo at the helm on keys, drum machines, and production, supported by a talented cast of musicians contributing live bass, guitar, and other organic elements -- further enriching his trademark fusion of electronic grooves and natural instrumentation. Collaborations with close friends, especially vocalists like Ninfa, add warmth and authenticity, exemplified in tracks like "House Tipo Così." For Sam, music is honest self-expression -- crafted for listeners who crave memorable melodies and rhythms imbued with genuine feeling. While technical perfection is tempting, Sam prioritizes emotion, knowing that what truly resonates is the soul behind the sounds. His long-standing partnership with Toy Tonics has been key in nurturing his vision, offering a blend of creative freedom and professional support.

A striking and melancholic electronic music, where instruments and machines collide, blending synthetic textures, strings, and spectral voices. The result is an album of eight expansive and sharp-edged tracks, where life pulses, burns, and soothes.

Schnitzler's collaborations with Wolf Sequenza aka Wolfgang Seidel occupy a special place in his vast musical output. They brought him closer to pop music than ever before or since, with the possible exception of Berlin Express and Auf dem schwarzen Kanal. Following Consequenz and Con 3, Consequenz III is now the third album to be released from this phase of his work.
"Consequenz III follows on directly from the two previous albums. Once again, the pieces sound almost like pop music, once again they are rhythmically and harmoniously structured, once again they are between three and four minutes long. And once again, they are not 100% pop music, but rather a balancing act between strict, abstract seriality and contemporary electronics: no melodies, no vocals, and it's up to each listener to decide whether the pieces are danceable. Rather, the eleven pieces are rhythmic études or finger exercises, especially for Seidel, who once again plays with incredible precision, as if he were a sequencer himself. It is not for nothing that Schnitzler gave him the pseudonym Wolf Sequenza for their joint productions. Musicians such as Wolfgang Seidel continue to lend Schnitzler's sonic universe additional radiance. The fact that the pieces on Consequenz III have already been released in 2006 by the Japanese label Captain Trip under the title Consequenz 2 + was probably only noticed by very few Schnitzler fans outside Japan. Only a small number of the limited edition ever reached Europe, and sold out in no time. Consequenz III therefore reissues material that was previously known only to a few. And there's no end to it: Schnitzler left behind music that was either only released in very small editions (e.g. on cassettes or CDRs) or has never been released at all. There is still plenty to discover in the various archives. Will we ever get to know the 'whole Schnitzler'? I don't think so." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

"Blue Lake reveals his most ambitious album yet, which finds its visionary creator Jason Dungan harnessing the collective alchemy of his band, with ten spirited tracks that resonate with a powerful directness, evoking an ecological connection to the wider world. On The Animal, Dungan introduces the use of voice as an instrument, as a way of unlocking song-like characteristics. On the gracious album opener 'Circles,' which sees the group embrace in choral unison, like in birdsong, voices echo as a part of the surrounding sonic environment. The band are fore grounded and formidable in their delivery, forming a rich, acoustic accompaniment to Dungan's zither strokes, earthy guitars and percussive patterns. The soundworld is noticeably bolder and livelier, as evidenced on 'Cut Paper,' with now regular mixing collaborator Jeff Zeigler capturing the fullness of the new band sound. Dungan also enlisted the help of Danish producer Aske Zidore who encouraged him toward new working strategies, a liberating intervention which allowed the element of surprise and discovery. The center ground is never fully consumed by Dungan as we find him consciously orchestrating from a respectful distance, giving generous space for the musician's spontaneous performance and improvisation, allowing their musical intuition to give rise to beguiling, holistic synchronicity. 'The Animal' is a form of musical metamorphosis, still acoustic, yet more amplified, elevating it to new dimensions. The Blue Lake project takes on a new lease of life to encompass collaboration with Jason Dungan bound in a universal connectivity, resulting in his most ambitious album to date. A harmonious rejoicing that cements his reputation as a transformative presence in contemporary music."

Hekura are a Barcelona-based duo that create expansive soundscapes anchored in ritual minimalism. With influences ranging from the ethereal mysticism of Alice Coltrane to the hypnotic pulse of Steve Reich, their music explores the boundary between introspection and bold sonic exploration. Inspired by ethnographic traditions and the raw energy of Julius Eastman, their compositions fuse scattered percussion, shimmering textures, and hypnotic saxophone rhythms for moments of solitude and profound reflection. Hekura's work invites listeners to immerse themselves into a spectral world where tradition meets the avant-garde, offering a unique and evocative listening experience. Ernest and Edu met during their jazz studies at Taller de Musics in Barcelona. Their first conversation was about Charlie Haden Liberation Orchestra's "free jazz" version of the South African anthem, "Nkosi Sikelele." That bond quickly translated into a shared world of listening, respect, experimentation, and sound that crystallized in Hekura. Edu Pons is a saxophonist and a music teacher at Taller de Mùsics in Barcelona. His music ranges from jazz to folk or from classical to free improvisation yet with his own distinctive voice. Ernest Pipó is a guitarist and composer from a small town in La Garrotxa. Currently based in Barcelona, he primarily focuses on music production and soundtrack composition. His influences range from jazz, electronica, noise, pop, and, although he dares to admit it, also ambient. For fans of: John Tchicai (with strings), Steve Reich, Arv & Miljö.

Frozen Reeds presents Mark Fell's Psychic Resynthesis, an instrumental work performed by Explore Ensemble. This double LP, with included digital download, is the label's eighth release, arriving 13 years after its foundation. Fell is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and theorist based in Rotherham, UK. Renowned for his rigorous and conceptual approach to electronic music and sound art, his work explores the limits of structure, rhythm, and perception through a blend of computational systems, philosophical inquiry, and cultural critique. Over the last decade, Fell's practice has visibly shifted from a world of technical intricacy and myopic microdetail to one of collaboration and community. He has purposefully sought out diverse musical partners from a wide variety of traditions and disciplines and found equally diverse ways to work and create together -- not to integrate their playing into a musical fusion, but rather to discover how such combinations of approaches and experience can stimulate unique and heretofore unheard results. The music here emerges from a commission for contemporary chamber group Explore Ensemble, situating Fell's work in a new context entirely. Having been a notable critic of classical music's slavish adherence to traditional musical notation, "the score," and its associated issues of control and hierarchy, one might expect a provocative or abrasive approach. Instead, a work of deep, tonal introspection unfolds -- an elegant structure navigating the artist's trepidatious relationship with linear or timeline-based musical approaches. In Fell's selection of timbres and events, the dynamic of composer and performer is interrupted by his twin adoption of system and flexibility. Mathematical determination and sonic fixation vie for dominance. The conflict governing combinations. Upsetting preconceived strategies. Published in an edition of 777 double LPs, with included digital download, the result, Psychic Resynthesis, represents both a prismatic object for repeated examination and an abstruse table of musical correspondences. Artwork and design by Mark Fell. Mastering by Jim O'Rourke.

It's their most transformative album to date -- a reinvention that ventures into unfamiliar territory while staying rooted in emotional depth and detail. Released via their own newly founded label __and__others.

WRWTFWW Records presents the self-titled debut from Throwing Shapes, a new collaborative project featuring harpist Méabh McKenna, percussionist Ross Chaney, and label mainstay composer/producer Gareth Quinn Redmond. The immersive electronic meets traditional album is available on limited-edition LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve and including a beautiful mini-poster designed by artwork creator Stina Sandström. A hypnotic, texturally rich exploration in sound led by the striking timbre of the Irish wire strung harp, Throwing Shapes weaves intricate instrumental tapestries with ambitious electronic synthesis and arrangements. The result is an immersive soundscape that feels rooted yet experiential and through which a unique vocabulary emerges -- cinematic harp driven avant-electronic conjuring lush sonic worlds that evoke both heritage and futurism.
