PARAJEKT	Parajekt	LP	PALAZZO RECORDINGS	PALAZZO 013LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 The music of the duo Parajekt is created on electronic instruments. Drum machines, samplers, modular synths, and effects devices all culminate in a tape recorder, whose limitations invite them to work with great musical and sonic precision. The resulting pieces serve as the first layer and as a sound score, which is then overwritten, mixed, and refined with dub techniques in a subsequent step. Elements inspired by electronic beat music, musique concrete, and noise merge in a musical performance that brings the studio action onto the stage and places it front and center.

REKAB	The Last Talk of the Machines	12"	YORE RECORDS	YORE 059EP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2025 James Baker aka ReKaB passed away very recently and so unexpectedly. He had only submitted the music for his new EP for YORE less than two weeks before his sudden passing. The original title was meant to be Let the Machines Talk, but the label decided to change it to The Last Talk of the Machines. It feels not only sad but also surreal to hear music that was created only shortly before, knowing James is no longer with us in embodied existence. This is the very last talk of his loved Machines.

CASE WOO	A Deeper Shade	2LP	HELLO, GOODBYE	BYE 001LP
$44.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/5/2025 A Deeper Shade, produced by Case Woo and originally released on CD only in 2001, is now presented as a double 12" vinyl. It comes with a full-cover print of the original artwork, as well as an insert with photos of young Case in the studio and a list of the equipment that was used to record this album. Back then, this release was hailed as the definitive and only full-length deep house/tech house album to emerge from the tiny island of Singapore, by one of the pioneers of the local electronic music industry. Case himself states: "I was introduced to the Deep House genre in 1999 and it was love at first listen, pure magic! What began as a spark of inspiration soon led to a month of self-imposed studio isolation -- a journey of immersion, expression, and devotion to a newfound sound. The outcome of that creative dive is A Deeper Shade."

$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/5/2025 Hidden Traffic is the debut album by Hard To Tell via their own imprint, Vitrage Records. Spanning eight tracks, the album blends Detroit-influenced house, breakbeat textures, warm analog tones and subtle hypnotic techno nods. From the atmospheric opener "Last Night Jam" to the emotional closer "Solid Love," Hidden Traffic showcases the full spectrum of the duo's sound -- introspective, danceable, and deeply personal.

EBONY	Shades of Meridian	12"	TURBO RECORDINGS	TURBO 251EP
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/5/2025 Following their widely-acclaimed album Union, JUNO-nominated duo ÈBONY rematerialize on the dancefloor with the otherworldly Shades of Meridian EP, projecting a waking futurist dream haunted by echoes of Detroit techno, Chicago house, South African melodies, and the rich mythology of Ancient Toronto. Opener "Break My Skin" explores a hidden pocket of after-hours techno space-time with an ethereal vocal by James Baley, leading into the tense, disembodied jack of "Forever." Next, "Dull Side First" rides a spectral break through a sepulchral warehouse trip, "RIFT" invokes peak-time witchcraft, and closer "My Daylight" entrances even the most self-possessed sound-and-lighting guys to spam the smoke machine until reality itself is occluded.

$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/5/2025 After a long hiatus, Prins Thomas drops his 10th studio album. Picking up where the last record ended, it's an introspective but celebratory and uplifting affair. One-man-band jams turning into mini epics, like coming up for air or seeing the bright lights at the end of a long dark tunnel.

$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/5/2025 The incredibly beautiful album Shinsekai, released in 1994, is finally being reissued. Long considered a phantom masterpiece and a cornerstone of Japanese techno, the album had been out of print for many years due to the business circumstances of its original label, Rising High. Now reissued by Sublime and Musicmine.

PLANTS HEAL	Forest Dwellers	LP	QUINDI RECORDS	QUI 021LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 Seeking out the inspirational intersection between free improvisation, rave and ancient mysticism, Plants Heal deliver an album of kaleidoscopic, organic beatdowns to Quindi. Plants Heal is a collaborative project between Dan Nicholls on synths, Dave De Rose on drums and Lou Zon (aka Louise Boer) on visuals. The roots of the project are entwined with Dan and Lou's London-based event Free Movements, which began in 2018 to explore how instrumental music could merge with live electronics and DJ sets. From the tentative steps of their first collaborations, Dan and Dave coalesced Plants Heal as a more pronounced project with Lou's live visuals, culminating in a first self-released album in 2021 and since organically fed and watered through continued performances across adventurous festivals and intimate club spaces. The trio opted to pour this energy into two days of studio sessions at Sonic Playground Studios in Athens, maintaining their unplanned approach and letting the music and visuals unfold in the moment. The end result is Forest Dwellers, a sincere document of truly free music that uses the rhythmic structure of dance and trance music as a springboard into heightened consciousness. Throughout the album you can hear hints of the familiar -- dub techno shimmers, trip hop boom-bap, kosmische momentum, snarling bass modulation, new age ambience and even the odd sizzle of disco. But none of these references are explicit, and they weave in and out of less placeable expressions deeply bedded into Dan and Dave's sonic practices. The end result is a swirling tapestry of unspooling groove, wide open and agile enough to shift gears mid-flow -- just as comfortable letting the propulsion melt away as locking into a four-to-the-floor throwdown. Lou's visual practice is an intrinsic part of the project. During performances she improvises with analogue footage from her library run through video mixers and synthesizers, focused on medicinal plants such as yarrow, hawthorn, nettle and thistle. All those plants feature in processed form on the cover of the record, which was designed in collaboration with Lou's brother Arthur Boer. Meanwhile, Lou recorded additional footage in Athens during the recording sessions to feed into the continued cycle of the project's live evolution.

GEELHOED, CASIMIR	Processing Music	LP	B.A.A.D.M.	BAADM 019LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 With Processing Music, Dutch composer and electronic musician Casimir Geelhoed offers a compelling meditation on sound transformation as a metaphor for psychological and emotional processing. Operating at the intersection of overstimulation, introspection and fragility, the album unfolds as a deeply immersive and personal exploration -- one that invites the listener to inhabit a space of their own projection, memory and reflection. Rather than imposing a fixed compositional structure, Processing Music follows a bottom-up approach, allowing form to emerge organically from the interaction of sonic materials. Digital signal processing is not used here as a mere technical tool, but as a poetic device: transformation as narrative, delay as memory, distortion as tension. Through slowly eroding loops, gently collapsing textures and shifting layers of timbre and space, Geelhoed crafts a delicate sound world that is charged with friction. What may at first seem abstract gradually reveals an emotional core. The album evokes the suspended time of a largo, the layering of memory like an excavation, the psychological tension of perceived spatial expansion. These are not literal themes, but associative keys to a music that operates in a distinctly human sonic language. Emerging from a series of live performances, Processing Music retains a performative sensibility: the music breathes, transforms, and invites attention to nuance. It slowly unfolds a landscape shaped by the subtle interplay between structure and dissolution. Casimir Geelhoed has presented performances and installations at festivals such as CTM, Sonic Acts, Rewire, Fiber, SPATIAL, and Aural Spaces. He studied computer science, composition, music technology, and sonology in Amsterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.

MELIAN, MICHAELA	music for a while	LP	A-MUSIK	A 048LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 With Michaela Melián's LP music for a while, a-Musik is releasing the first album by the visual artist, co-founder of F.S.K., and solo musician since Monaco (MONIKA 079CD), which appeared on Monika Enterprise in 2013. While her last releases, Electric Ladyland (2016), Music from a Frontier Town (2018), and Tania (2022) were created as part of exhibitions and sound installations, music for a while is Melián's fourth autonomous LP, characterized on the one hand by her unmistakable dreamlike sound along the interfaces between dark chamber music, solemn ambient techno, and cinematic sound art. As with her previous albums, there is also a wonderful avant-pop cover version -- this time of the track "My Other Voice" (1979) by the Sparks. On the other hand, music for a while, whose cover is adorned with Melián's photographs of the clouds above her new home of Marseille, spreads a comparatively ominous mood, thanks in part to the sedate, almost ticking drum sounds of co-producer Felix Raethel. Once again, the multi-instrumentalist, supported by Ruth May on violin and Elen Harutyunyan on viola, weaves her recordings of various string instruments -- cello, guitar, bass, and zither -- into fascinating, lurching, looping, and almost hypnotic soundscapes, but atonal synthesizer sounds in tracks such as "traverse Benjamin" and "märchenwald" open up the music to electroacoustic and experimental music. The concluding cover version of Irving Berlin's "they say it's wonderful" (1946) rounds off one of this year's most impressive releases in an incomparably groovy and melancholic way.

BRANDLMAYR, MARTIN	Interstitial Spaces	LP	FAITICHE	FAITICHE 040LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 Interstitial Spaces is Martin Brandlmayr's debut release on Faitiche. In this award-winning radio collage, the well-known drummer and composer (Radian, Polwechsel) explores the quiet moments in music and film recordings. The last notes of a piece of music fade out in the space. The pianist and the violinist remain frozen in place, holding their breath. The sound engineer sits silently at the desk. Once he has switched off his tape machine, the dull drone of a ship's horn is heard in the distance. Otherwise, not a sound. Or was there something else hidden in the white noise? Interstitial Spaces is based on short excerpts from music recordings, films, TV adverts and field recordings. Brandlmayr takes these quiet scenes, intervals in which nothing seems to happen, and brings them into the foreground, subjecting them to a microscopic spotlight. Moments in which one hears only the space itself, or the subtle presence of someone in the space: faint breathing, footsteps and the soft creak of a chair. Listeners also hear preparations for an orchestra rehearsal: the musicians are all busy tuning their instruments, talking to each other, the concert has not yet begun. This leads to a shift in perception: incidental details hidden in the hubbub of voices or in the silence suddenly take on a leading role. In the empty spaces, the listener discovers various shades of noise, sharpening their awareness of sonic peculiarities. In a gentle rhythm, Brandlmayr's radio collage offers a sequence of strange, not immediately identifiable sounds that are woven in the second part into a dense structure. At the end, the carefully captured sounds are released back into the empty space. Interstitial Spaces is a bold spectacle that celebrates the eventful uneventfulness.

PARKER, MIKE	Epilogue	3x12"	FIELD RECORDS	FIELD 038LP
$59.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 Following the reissue of his debut album Dispatches (FIELD 034LP), Field Records returns to the seminal work of Mike Parker with an overview of his releases on Prologue -- a truly original strain of steely, hypnotic techno that has touched upon many different waves within the wider scene. Having pioneered a hard-edged, reductionist style via his Geophone label since the mid-'90s, around 2010 Mike Parker found himself at the vanguard of an emergent sound alongside artists like Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or exploring the possibilities of immersive, profoundly transcendental club music. The Prologue label came to define this cult zeitgeist, where reduction and repetition took on a truly psychedelic quality and the subtle details made all the difference. It ran from 2008 to 2015, laying the foundations for the deep techno sound that remains a vital, evolving subculture in the present moment. From Parker's first appearance on Prologue with the Subterranean Liquid EP in 2011 through to the Lustrations LP in 2013, he delivered some of the most incisive music of his accomplished career -- teased-out rhythms carrying exquisitely engineered textures veering from the subliminal to the visceral, locked into endless, cyclical oblivion and maintaining a stern, machinist veneer. This collection on Field Records combs through Parker's Prologue output and makes a considered selection, gathering key pieces from the first two EPs alongside six of the album tracks on a triple vinyl pressing, alongside a further eight cuts on the expanded digital edition. Not just a straight-forward reissue, consider Epilogue a thoughtful reframing of a key point in Mike Parker's stellar career. In every exacting pulse, every inch of tacit spatial design, it's the work of an expert sculpting a sound which remains influential in the here and now.

SNIPER MODE	Riot Gear	2LP	TURBO RECORDINGS	TURBO 252LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 Turbo Recordings presents the revival of German techno giant Gregor Tresher's Sniper Mode alias with the Riot Gear LP. Riot Gear showcases Tresher's established production genius over 11 cuts of S-tier electro marked by menace, depth, and sharp melodic hooks. Lead single "Blinded by the Dark" is a collaboration with Dave Clarke, the most respected man in electro and perhaps just in general, and features the most punishing drop in recent memory. The album also includes standout vocal contributions from Detroit techno pioneer Jay Denham ("Sanctuary of Vices"), Miami bass kingpin Exzakt ("Echoes From a Wasted Land"), dance-world enigma Kira ("Phantom Pain"), and Turbo favorite Perel ("Modesty Is a Virtue").

OCHI, YOSHIAKI	Natural Sonic	LP	WRWTFWW RECORDS	WRWTFWW 109LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 WRWTFWW Records presents the limited-edition vinyl reissue of Natural Sonic, the groundbreaking 1990 environmental percussion album by Japanese composer and performer Yoshiaki Ochi. Long a hidden gem of the kankyō ongaku movement, Natural Sonic finally returns in its full analog glory, housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi and carefully remastered from the original archives of Wacoal Art Center/Spiral's visionary NEWSIC label. Originally released only in Japan at the dawn of the 1990s, Natural Sonic is a mesmerizing exploration of earthly sound and rhythm -- a sonic tapestry woven from wood, water, and stone, and skin. Ochi, who at the time was the in-house composer and performer for world-renowned designer Issey Miyake, created a series of elemental pieces that blur the line between avant-garde percussion, ritual music, and environmental sound art. The result is both deeply physical and profoundly meditative -- an album that breathes with nature itself. Echoing the organic minimalism of Midori Takada's Through the Looking Glass and the ecological grandeur of Geinoh Yamashirogumi's Ecophony Gaia, Ochi's compositions open portals into primal landscapes, evoking forests, rivers, and stones in flux. Part of NEWSIC's celebrated experimental catalog -- alongside Yoshio Ojima's Une Collection des Chaînons, Motohiko Hamase's #Notes of Forestry, and Satsuki Shibano's Rendez-Vous -- Natural Sonic now finds new life for contemporary listeners seeking sound that feels both timeless and vital. A singular album of resonance and restraint, Natural Sonic is a treasure from the golden age of Japanese environmental music, finally available again over three decades later.

NORIKO & AOKI TAKAMASA, TUJIKO	28	LP	KEPLAR	KEPLARREV 022LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 Aoki Takamasa and Tujiko Noriko's 2005 album 28 has become a cornerstone in the artists' respective discographies. 20 years after its initial release, Keplar issues it on vinyl for the very first time. Three years in the making, 28 saw the sound artist and the avant-pop singer-songwriter combine their distinct aesthetics for an album that defied categorization. Their combination of advanced electronic experimentation and pop appeal paved the way for a new generation of artists and turned 28 into an enduring fan favorite. Remastered by Stephan Mathieu, the reissue comes with a brand-new artwork by Joji Koyama and a changed track listing -- authorized by Takamasa and Tujiko -- for the vinyl version to fit it on a single LP, while the digital version remains identical to the original release. Tujiko and Takamasa first shared the stage together after the turn of the millennium. Both were emerging solo artists, with Takamasa a mainstay on the Progressive Form label and Tujiko forging a connection with Mego in Vienna, Austria. They first collaborated in 2002 for two shows at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and at SonarLab in Barcelona, respectively. The first joint piece was a rework of Tujiko's "Fly" from "Hard Ni Sasete (Make Me Hard)" by Takamasa, appearing as the album opener Fly2 on 28. After that, the Paris-based Tujiko and Takamasa, still based in Osaka, worked sporadically and remotely on new material. For the first two years of their collaboration, the two met in the context of live events or Takamasa's visits to the French capital to discuss their process and exchange hard drives while also occasionally sending each other CDrs in the mail. Takamasa used hardware such as the Nord Modular, the Korg Z1, and the Korg ER-1, while also working with different kinds of software and plug-ins as well as Logic. Tujiko was using Cubase, her preferred piece of gear at the time being an AKAI MPC. After Takamasa moved to Paris in 2004, this enabled the duo to finish the album together in person. Starting with its subtle use of glitches to the almost-anarchic way in which it deals with the structures of a song, »28« came to be an incomparably intricate album. 20 years on, it remains timeless because of its flawless synthesis of the cutting-edge avant-garde ideas of early 2000s electronica with an idiosyncratic but accessible pop sentiment.

SOAR	Soar	LP	EFFICIENT SPACE	EFFICIENT 048LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Reintroducing Soar -- the alias of Christian Aebi, serial DIY taper and one-man orchestra from Langenthal, a fog-shrouded town in the Swiss provinces. Krautophobia, ambient lo-fi agriculture, analogue soul balm and slowspeed psych gelati-blitz cardboard pop only gesture towards the sound world he coaxed from his broken Tascam four-track recorder, in attics, churches, junkyards and at the kitchen table. The spark for Soar was likely time and space, somewhere in the autumn of 1994. Armed with a cable salad of '60s guitar/bass, fairground drums, mold-speckled organs and toy instruments, Aebi coaxed five albums, an unverified run of 25 cassettes, and a handful of gigs. Mostly issued through Zurich label Corazoo, the records arrived in hand-pasted sleeves, rough-cut reproductions of his teddy bear-fixated artwork that carried the same imperfect immediacy as the music. With Rudi Steiner, performances in galleries, clubs and halls bent into live sound-image happenings -- part installation, part film, part flea-market-instrument theatre -- invariably leaving the house engineers bewildered. At the time of his untimely death in 2021, Aebi remained a village secret, his music passed quietly between friends and local ears. Now, Swiss graphic designer and Ghost Riders compiler Ivan Liechti has pieced together a portrait from the afterglow, gathering tangled audio formats, paintings, illustrations, photographs and notebooks with his family, former label and peers. What emerges is a first glimpse of Soar's intimate cosmos -- brushing against Füxa, Spectrum, Dump, Stereolab, and King Crimson, but orbiting a dimension entirely his own.

BARTOS, KARL	Communication	LP	BUREAU B	BB 484LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 LP version. A timeless statement on media, culture, and music. Karl Bartos, renowned as an essential member and songwriter of Kraftwerk during their most innovative years, is reissuing his solo album Communication on Hamburg's Bureau B. First released in 2003, 13 years after leaving the legendary electronic group, the re-release arrives at a moment when its central theme, the transformation of culture through electronic media, feels more relevant than ever. When Bartos departed Kraftwerk in 1990, he left behind a catalogue that had redefined electronic music: "The Model," "The Robots," "Numbers," "Pocket Calculator," and many more bear his imprint as co-writer and melody-maker. 2021 Kraftwerk's classic line-up was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for their innovative work -- the first German band ever to be honored. With the sharp-witted electro-pop of Communication, the Kraftwerk legend extended that legacy, turning his focus toward a rapidly evolving media landscape at the turn of the millennium. At the time, the album's exploration of celebrity culture, digital imagery, and the early internet felt like a glimpse into the future. Today, it reads as sharp cultural analysis of a reality that has since become ordinary. Two decades later, this reissue allows Communication to be reconsidered on its own terms. The questions Bartos posed, about image saturation, reality fragmentation, and identity commodification, resonate more strongly in the age of smartphones, social media, and streaming platforms than they did in the early 2000s. Karl Bartos: "We are living in an age of huge behavioral manipulation. Cybernetics, artificial intelligence -- this is a major challenge for humanity." Bartos's role in shaping Kraftwerk's defining sound is undisputed, yet Communication also asserts his independent artistic voice: one that critiques media while celebrating the joy of electronic sound. Its rerelease is less a nostalgic act than a reminder that Bartos's work continues to speak directly to the cultural present. With this reissue on Bureau B, Communication endures as both a document of its time and a timeless statement on media, culture, and music.

JONES, OZZY	between you and me	LP	INTERCEPT	INT 083LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 "In 2019, a brutal epileptic seizure changed my life -- the first of more to come. I was forced into solitude, and in that quiet, music became my lifeline. In the following years, I poured everything I had into creating between you and me: a raw, DIY album that is a distillation of my lived experience during this time. The album explores emotional authenticity, freedom of expression, and acceptance: not as abstract concepts, but through visceral experiences that have fundamentally reshaped my art and my sense of self. As a listener, I invite you to explore your vulnerability by joining me in mine. This album is truly between you and me." --Ozzy Jones Ozzy Jones is a Dutch-Australian interdisciplinary artist whose music blends electronica with indie. Drawing from personal struggles and raw emotion after his seizures started, his debut album between you and me explores vulnerability, male identity, and authentic self-expression. Rooted in Amsterdam's vibrant creative scene, Ozzy's work fuses sound, visuals, and storytelling to create a deeply immersive and honest artistic experience.

BUG VS GHOST DUBS, THE	Implosion	2LP	PRESSURE	PRESH 027LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Double LP version. Implosion is a crushing split album, appropriately released on The Bug's own PRESSURE label. Mapping out a new form of spectral dub, the sound is deliberately immersive, introverted, and yes, definitely implosive. In pursuit of heavy lids, blurred vision, and merciless bass bin punishment, it's one part meditation, two parts low-end theory, and essentially a confession of devoted sound system addiction. As expected from a tag team featuring British soundlab explorer and "London Zoo" composer Kevin Martin, aka The Bug, and Michael Fiedler, aka Jah Schulz -- a long-time graduate of Germany's new school of sound system reggae culture -- the duo approaches their target differently yet share the goal of keeping their sound "raw" and "brutally minimal". Each track illuminates the emotional impact and atmospheric pressure being explored across this deceptively sparse album -- a mastery of tone and texture. This collection might be as reduced, minimal, and deep as The Bug has ever gone, perhaps echoing the solemnity of his recent Kevin Richard Martin Black release and invoking the futurist steppas self-pioneered on his previous Pressure album. Alternatively, Fiedler's Ghost Dubs project ventures into his most heavyweight direction yet, which is no mean feat considering his previous, the critically acclaimed album Damaged, was a monstrously massive triumph of analogue weight and enviable sound design. Implosion is ice-cool, a stark contrast to the warmth and sociability of traditional Jamaican roots and the current trends in digi-dub. Instead, the mood is soaked in tension and intense dread, finding an unexpected melting point where classic dub's stark rhythm attack, isolationist ambience's eerie drift, dub techno's floatation strategies, and even the relentless riffs of doom metal collide. The super heavyweight pulsations, emotive resonances, and bone-rattling vibrations detonated here effortlessly go far beyond the artists' influences. Shadowy and elusive, there's a mysteriousness at this record's core. A haunting moodiness oscillating between nostalgia and future shock. Implosion is a testament to being enveloped in bass, seduced by bass, submerged in bass, and utterly crushed by bass, as The Bug and Ghost Dubs seek to craft a new form of dub for zonal headz and Babylon seekers. Mastered by Stefan Betke (a.k.a. POLE) at Scape Mastering studio.

CLARK	Steep Stims	CD	THROTTLE	THROT 014CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Following the skewed-unself-help-brilliance of Sus Dog (which marked his first full foray into songs, abetted by Thom Yorke), and its companion piece Cave Dog, Chris Clark returns to the dancefloor's simple, but no less affecting pleasures, with Steep Stims. Steep Stims marks a back-to-basics approach, invoking the early years of gung-ho creativity enforced by limitations in technology at the time. Made quickly, Steep Stims reflects the immediate rave energy of his live show, but that's not to say it's basic floor fodder, as it's rife with personality, synth magic, and knack for melody. Although swift and impressionistically captured rather than labored over, it's still formidably deft, with plenty of oddball weirdness lurking beneath the dancefloor. Soft, orange, scorched, brutal, the opening track "Gift and Wound" captures the classic dance music dread/awe/euphoria combo perfectly, before "Infinite Roller" merges sparkly-minimalism with snarling bass and soft sines, which turn more-dense and metallic as it progresses. The melancholic smoke belch of "No Pills U" gives strong classic vibrations, which is belied by its creation, made in just 20 minutes. Drumless, yet still full of exhilarating-big-trance-drama, "Who Booed The Goose" flashes by in stroboscopic fast forward, then "5 Millionth Cave Painting" gives a palate cleanser, letting "the virus with its delicious broken, luxurious reverb have a moment," before "Negation Loop" swoops down in all its glory, with Clark's tweaked vocals leading deconstructed trance breakdowns, tape edits and brutal noisebursts. An antidote to the bombast of its predecessor is "Micro Lyf," which closes the set on a poignant note, of sorts. Muted staccato gives way to field recordings "that gradually put it in this outside space; alien in a meadow somewhere nameless. It feels like a sinkhole. The record kinda swallows itself up and then is gone", ends Chris.

STILETTI-ANA	Stiletti City Tape Archives	LP	STUDIO BARNHUS	BARN 125LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Stiletti City Tape Archives is the fourth Stiletti-Ana album, showing off the Finnish mastermind's talent for making electronic music that's immediately inviting while generously rewarding the focused listener.

Here, vintage and modern synths joined forces with live drums and the occasional robot-voiced interjection, resulting in a body of work that's dazzlingly off-kilter, rich in detail and instantly addictive. The artist himself states: "I think the music has a sense of urgency which relates to city life. Still, Stiletti City is a small and cozy place, a bit freaky and not gentrified." Stockholm label Studio Barnhus is delighted to invite fellow travelers into this secret town -- welcoming and full of surprises.

Following the skewed-unself-help-brilliance of Sus Dog (which marked his first full foray into songs, abetted by Thom Yorke), and its companion piece Cave Dog, Chris Clark returns to the dancefloor's simple, but no less affecting pleasures, with Steep Stims. Steep Stims marks a back-to-basics approach, invoking the early years of gung-ho creativity enforced by limitations in technology at the time. Made quickly, Steep Stims reflects the immediate rave energy of his live show, but that's not to say it's basic floor fodder, as it's rife with personality, synth magic, and knack for melody. Although swift and impressionistically captured rather than labored over, it's still formidably deft, with plenty of oddball weirdness lurking beneath the dancefloor. Soft, orange, scorched, brutal, the opening track "Gift and Wound" captures the classic dance music dread/awe/euphoria combo perfectly, before "Infinite Roller" merges sparkly-minimalism with snarling bass and soft sines, which turn more-dense and metallic as it progresses. The melancholic smoke belch of "No Pills U" gives strong classic vibrations, which is belied by its creation, made in just 20 minutes. Drumless, yet still full of exhilarating-big-trance-drama, "Who Booed The Goose" flashes by in stroboscopic fast forward, then "5 Millionth Cave Painting" gives a palate cleanser, letting "the virus with its delicious broken, luxurious reverb have a moment," before "Negation Loop" swoops down in all its glory, with Clark's tweaked vocals leading deconstructed trance breakdowns, tape edits and brutal noisebursts. An antidote to the bombast of its predecessor is "Micro Lyf," which closes the set on a poignant note, of sorts. Muted staccato gives way to field recordings "that gradually put it in this outside space; alien in a meadow somewhere nameless. It feels like a sinkhole. The record kinda swallows itself up and then is gone", ends Chris.
