25th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue (May 2025)
A sonic time capsule wrapped in summer grooves
When Since Then first arrived in 2000, it felt like opening a window to somewhere sun-drenched and far away—a place where gentle Brazilian rhythms danced effortlessly with the pulse of deep house. Now, a quarter-century later, the album returns to vinyl for the first time, not as a relic, but as a timeless companion.
This reissue spins more than just music—it breathes new life into a moment when sound, place, and feeling merged into something unforgettable. Pooley was ahead of his time, weaving breezy South American textures into club-ready arrangements. Tracks like “900 Degrees” and “Balmes (A Better Life)” still shimmer with warmth and clarity, their melodies floating with an ease that refuses to age.

A1 Since Then
A2 Bay Of Plenty
A3 Venasque
B1 Coração Tambor

Release Info:
This album holds an undeniable significance, serving as a cornerstone of both techno and Tresor's legacy. Its story is deeply entwined with that of the label, following Robert Hood's Waveform Transmission 2 under his The Vision moniker, released just one year earlier and reissued on Tresor in 2023. On Internal Empire Robert Hood perfected his signature sound already present on Waveform Transmission 2, marking a pivotal moment in techno's history. It elevates its maker as master, sharing an irrefutable singular magic, sounding as present and indispensable as when first created. To understand this work fully is to stand back and celebrate its impact.
Originally released in 1994, the album marks a point of transition for Robert Hood moving on from his previous collaborations within Underground Resistance. Robert Hood advanced, uncovering the power of true minimalism. Deep soul through a simplicity that showed how much could be done with so little. The devastating rhythms of this album forge the unmatched spirit of this sound, influencing generations to come.
"I was faced with the challenge of following up on 'Minimal Nation’. I cancelled all my tour dates for that summer, set up my studio in the living room and began to work on 'Internal Empire'. My intention was to create something distinctively different. Looking out my living room window in Detroit watching people go by gave me a new perspective. It made me look at the world within myself. Years later I am still discovering.”

The title of the double LP ”please don’t wait” is simple and refers to the passage of time, urgency, and the present moment. It’s a message that calls for movement and action. (The title also references a track of the same name performed by rapper Jwles, released in 2018.)
After a stay in Detroit in 2022, Mad Rey returned to Montreuil, inspired and brimming with energy. He repaired his MPC2000XL and unearthed two vintage synthesizers from the 2000s: a Korg Triton and a Yamaha Motif.
Connected together, these three instruments revived sensations and inspired him to create one track per day. After two years of work, the producer felt the desire to bring together the eight instrumental tracks he most enjoyed recording.
Each track is a "live" recording, preserving its raw energy. The sounds of the instruments convey nostalgia and melancholy. The recording is raw, delivering a message of peace, humility, and unity. It pays tribute to the early days of house music.

The title of the double LP ”please don’t wait” is simple and refers to the passage of time, urgency, and the present moment. It’s a message that calls for movement and action. (The title also references a track of the same name performed by rapper Jwles, released in 2018.)
After a stay in Detroit in 2022, Mad Rey returned to Montreuil, inspired and brimming with energy. He repaired his MPC2000XL and unearthed two vintage synthesizers from the 2000s: a Korg Triton and a Yamaha Motif.

DJ Fett Burger & DJ Sommer - Sommer Burger Acid
Sex Tags UFO presents the first part of the non stop ongoing HOUSE music collaboration between the Burger man and Berlin based DJ Sommer! Music created as house music as a FEELING!
A four track EP smashing out some fine underground house music, all with the mix of DJ Sommers studio skills and old-school hardware approach, and the Burger man's wonky touch! The almost weekly live session recorded in DJ Sommer's studio, then arranged and mixed at Casa de Fett bare some fruits, and here is their first record!
The opening track, the first one the duo ever produced. Heavy present bass and kicking 909, atmospheric deep soundscapes, and an emotional uplifting melody! Simple, basic and efficient. Heavy stomping groover and a classic house workout!
Second track a more mellow and relaxed tune, still got the groove and the 909, but this time with a classic Ibiza guitar to set the mood for the sunrise or sunset! Massive vibe, deep, emotional and groovy for a perfect vibe for promising events to come.
One the flip side another emotional house tune, with the driving present dance bass, a shuffled 909 workout to make it swing, the pads keeping it deep, sentimental and groovy! House music and the dreamscape meet.
The last tune on the record, a heavy acid house workout, loud, raw and unpolished in the edges, tougher than the previous tracks, but with an atmospheric pad that gives it deepens in combination with the intense landscapes of the drums and the acidic drips!
A versatile, simple, raw dance floor oriented HOUSE EP made in and for the underground!
Enjoy!

Running Back is delighted to introduce RB Studio Sessions, a new sub-imprint of music envisioned, recorded and fully realised at Running Back’s in-house studio.
Built on the promise of unfettered creative freedom and aided by agreeable local autobahn connections in the Hesse region, the RB Studio Sessions project is christened with the work of Running Back’s founder, chief dreamer, and Geschäftsführer, Gerd Janson.
For this debut edition, he is joined for a momentous jam by the new-school hero of the house, good friend and kindred spirit, Narciss.
Just as Running Back’s earliest releases dropped a stylus to preserve timeless ideals of club culture, the four tracks on ‘No Maze Like Heaven’ further this continuum by turning back the sonic clock just a decade or so. Picture, if you will, a nascent Narciss, youthfully club
hopping and deeply inspired by the selections of Gerd himself, alongside a selection of DJs coaxing the Panorama Bar blinds open with exquisite, mid-tempo precision.
As such, new light immediately floods in for ‘Chicco’s Chips’, which captures many of those irresistible elements—Italo-tinted synths, hooky vocals, and perfect percussion— regenerated with the wide-eyed, high energy of Narciss’s own solo productions. ‘Elka,
meanwhile, is a richer, deeper dish, masterfully interlocking multiple heavenly melodies under layers of optimistic analogue fuzz.
Narciss and Gerd then look to the Netherlands for further collaboration with one of electronic music’s best-loved vocalists and another fine producer, Coloray, who fills ‘Look For You’ with a yearning performance in the vulnerable, synth-pop tradition. Finally, ‘No
Maze Like Heaven’ builds on this mood and melody for a finale that hits the sweet spot between machine power and oh-so-human emotion.
Featuring labyrinthian artwork from the mighty Gasius., via a sleeve that appears to blend M.C. Escher with MC Hammer, ‘No Maze Like Heaven’ proves to be a divine foundation of RB Studio Sessions. For Narciss, “a memory they will cherish forever.”
For Gerd, a taxdeductible working lunch. For DJs and dancers? Four ebullient hits-in-waiting, sounding great and meaning more.

Carrying on their longstanding dedication to the seminal output of
Merzbow, Urashima returns with what is unquestionably their most
ambitious release to date: “Collection 001-010”, a deluxe, 10 LP vinyl
box set limited to 299 copies, gathering together the entirety of the
project’s first ten releases, originally released in 1981. Encountering
the band in its early incarnation of the duo of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi
Mizutani, raw, exposed and bristling with energy, foreshadowing numerous
trajectories they would follow over the coming years, these astounding
full lengths - the majority of which have never been released on vinyl -
come housed in a beautifully produced, deluxe wooden box, with each LP
in its own individual sleeve reproducing the original artwork, and a
LP-sized 32-page book containing reproductions of artworls and collages
by Masami Akita, an interview conducted by Jim O'Rourke, and liner notes
penned by Lasse Marhaug, Thurston Moore, and Akita himself, amounting to
what is unquestionably one of the most historically significant releases
we’re likely to encounter in 2025.
Deluxe Edition of 299 copies, remastered from the original analog tapes
by Masami Akita, each LP comes in its individual sleeve reproducing the
original artwork, also includes a LP-sized 32-page book. ** Since its
founding during the late 2000s, the Italian imprint, Urashima, has
become a definitive voice in the landscape of noise. Bringing forth
beautiful limited edition releases, they’ve sculpted a singular vision
of one of the most vibrant and revolutionary bodies of experimental
sound to have graced the globe. Among the many projects that they have
supported over the decades, there has been an undeniable dedication to
the output of the seminal Japanese noise outfit, Merzbow, making a
significant amount of the project’s out of print back catalog available
across a range of formats. Now they return with what is arguably their
most stunning and ambitious release dedicated to the project to date:
“Collection 001-010”, gathering the entirety of Merzbow’s first ten
releases, largely privately released by the band on cassette across
1981, in a deluxe, 10 LP vinyl box set. Representing what is effectively
ground zero in Japanese noise and collectively amounting to some of the
most sought after releases ever produced within that movement,
Urashima’s truly beautiful collection comes fully remastered by Masami
Akita himself from the original tapes, presenting all but a small number
in their first ever vinyl pressings, with each LP housed in its own
individual sleeve reproducing the original artwork, alongside a LP-sized
32-page book containing reproductions of artworks and collages by Masami
Akita, an interview conducted by Jim O'Rourke, and liner notes penned by
Lasse Marhaug, Thurston Moore and Akita himself. Towering with energy
and groundbreaking creative vision, within the realms of noise and
experimental music, releases don’t get more monumental or historically
important than this!
Merzbow came roaring onto the Tokyo scene in 1979, and remains, to this
day, one of the most prolific and aggressively forward-thinking projects
in experimental music. Eventually becoming the solo vehicle for the
efforts of Masami Akita, in its earliest incarnation the project was the
duo of Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani, taking their name from German artist
Kurt Schwitters' pre-war architectural assemblage, The Cathedral of
Erotic Misery or Merzbau, and quickly set out to challenge entrenched
notions of what music could be. Embracing technology and the machine,
even in its earliest iterations, Merzbow pushed toward new territories
of the extreme, arriving at a space of pure, unadulterated sonic
onslaught that has continued, for over 40 years, to set the pace for the
entire genre of noise, and has remained one of the movement’s most
important, definitive voices, continuously laying the groundwork for
countless artists who have followed in its wake.
When dealing with historical gestures, there’s an invertible aura
surrounding original line-ups and early statements, and rightfully so.
It is often within a band’s debut that we catch the purest glimpse of
the raw energy and creative ferment that made them what they are. This
is certainly the case when regarding the coveted early releases of
Merzbow, capturing the emergence of the project in its form as the duo
of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani as they helped set the blue print
from the then emerging movement of Japanese noise. Over the course of
its nearly five decades of activity, Merzbow has always been noted for
how prolific and ambitious the project is. This was no less the case in
the very beginning. While they were active for roughly two years prior,
in 1981 alone they issued ten self-released cassettes numerically titled
“Collection 001-010”, albums which have both individually and
collectively become holy grails in the realms of noise, with only two -
“Collection 007” and “Collection 009” - ever receiving vinyl reissues
prior to now.
As Lasse Marhaug deftly articulates in the newly commissioned liner
notes for “Collection 001-010”, despite having been recorded in
different location across a span of time, the sum total of Merzbow’s
first ten releases might be best regarded as a single release to be
listened to in the same, durational sitting, with the material standing
well apart from what most came to expect from Merzbow, while
foreshadowing numerous trajectories the project would take over the
coming years. Not only do these recordings feature a vast array of
instrumentation - tapes, acoustic and electric guitar, violin, drums,
voice, recorder, organ, found sounds, clarinet, homemade and prepared
instruments, a vast arsenal of effects and electronics, and piano, to
only begin to scratch the surface - the majority of which would
disappear from the project’s active sources of sound generation over the
subsequent years, but there is a slow pacing and raw sense of openness
and exposure that reveals strong connections to the avant-garde
improvisations of groups like AMM, Musica Elettronica Viva, and Gruppo
di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, the psychedelia of groups like Taj
Mahal Travellers and Flower Traveling band (both of whom Akita mentions
having seen in youth within his interview with Jim O’Rourke), and rock
in general - albeit in fully abstracted forms - unspooling as brittle,
pointillistic, textural, raw and abrasive forms, that occasionally
flirts with unexpected tonal sensibilities. As Marhaug describes it in
his excellent liner notes: «Sonically, “Collection” sounds more sparse
and stripped. It’s dry sounding, up-front, no reverb, and there’s less
heavy low-end grime and thin on the signature frequency sweeps. Viewed
in a 1981 context, musically, it’s more akin to what the LAFMS (Los
Angeles Free Music Society) pool of artists were doing at that time than
what was happening in industrial music... There’s a strong playfulness
throughout, like the sound objects are being explored for the first
time, without neither restraint nor hurry. Events are allowed to be
fully examined before the music moves on, or simply cuts off. To a large
degree, the music on “Collection” feels acoustic in nature, although a
Electro-Harmonix ring-modulator features prominently throughout.»
Easily described as a rarely encountered revelation into the original
and earlier documented studio sound of Merzbow, “Collection 001-010”
collectively amounts to an engrossing sonic journey in its own right,
while also allowing for important, often overlooked connections drawn
from numerous other creative wellsprings, notably free jazz, underground
rock, the output of European and Japanese avant-garde music, as well as
Dada, Fluxus, and Mail Art, much of which, beyond the illumination made
possible by the sounds, Jim O’Rourke’s fantastic interview with Akita,
published in the booklet, further explores, offering great insights into
the origins of Merzbow and the thinking behind the project, as well as
aspects of the earliest days of Japanese noise.
Absolutely incredible in every possible way, with “Collection 001-010”
Urashima takes their already astounding dedication to the output of
Merzbow to new heights, producing one of the most beautiful and
historically significant releases we’re likely to encounter in 2025.
Gathering the entirety of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani’s first ten
releases together, largely privately released by the band on cassette
across 1981, in a deluxe, 10 LP vinyl box set, with each full-length
fully remastered from the original analog tapes by Masami Akita himself,
optimized for vinyl pressing by Andrea Marutti, and housed in its own
individual sleeve reproducing the original artwork, alongside a LP-sized
32-page book containing reproductions of original artworks and collages
by Masami Akita, an interview with Akita conducted by Jim O'Rourke, and
liner notes penned by Lasse Marhaug, Thurston Moore and Akita himself,
all housed in a stunningly produced wooden box.

duo of Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani, taking their name from German artist
Kurt Schwitters' pre-war architectural assemblage, The Cathedral of
Erotic Misery or Merzbau, and quickly set out to challenge entrenched
notions of what music could be. Embracing technology and the machine,
even in its earliest iterations, Merzbow pushed toward new territories
of the extreme, arriving at a space of pure, unadulterated sonic
onslaught that has continued, for over 40 years, to set the pace for the
entire genre of noise, and has remained one of the movement’s most
important, definitive voices, continuously laying the groundwork for
countless artists who have followed in its wake.
When dealing with historical gestures, there’s an invertible aura
surrounding original line-ups and early statements, and rightfully so.
It is often within a band’s debut that we catch the purest glimpse of
the raw energy and creative ferment that made them what they are. This
is certainly the case when regarding the coveted early releases of
Merzbow, capturing the emergence of the project in its form as the duo
of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani as they helped set the blue print
from the then emerging movement of Japanese noise. Over the course of
its nearly five decades of activity, Merzbow has always been noted for
how prolific and ambitious the project is. This was no less the case in
the very beginning. While they were active for roughly two years prior,
in 1981 alone they issued ten self-released cassettes numerically titled
“Collection 001-010”, albums which have both individually and
collectively become holy grails in the realms of noise, with only two -
“Collection 007” and “Collection 009” - ever receiving vinyl reissues
prior to now.
As Lasse Marhaug deftly articulates in the newly commissioned liner
notes for “Collection 001-010”, despite having been recorded in
different location across a span of time, the sum total of Merzbow’s
first ten releases might be best regarded as a single release to be
listened to in the same, durational sitting, with the material standing
well apart from what most came to expect from Merzbow, while
foreshadowing numerous trajectories the project would take over the
coming years. Not only do these recordings feature a vast array of
instrumentation - tapes, acoustic and electric guitar, violin, drums,
voice, recorder, organ, found sounds, clarinet, homemade and prepared
instruments, a vast arsenal of effects and electronics, and piano, to
only begin to scratch the surface - the majority of which would
disappear from the project’s active sources of sound generation over the
subsequent years, but there is a slow pacing and raw sense of openness
and exposure that reveals strong connections to the avant-garde
improvisations of groups like AMM, Musica Elettronica Viva, and Gruppo
di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, the psychedelia of groups like Taj
Mahal Travellers and Flower Traveling band (both of whom Akita mentions
having seen in youth within his interview with Jim O’Rourke), and rock
in general - albeit in fully abstracted forms - unspooling as brittle,
pointillistic, textural, raw and abrasive forms, that occasionally
flirts with unexpected tonal sensibilities. As Marhaug describes it in
his excellent liner notes: «Sonically, “Collection” sounds more sparse
and stripped. It’s dry sounding, up-front, no reverb, and there’s less
heavy low-end grime and thin on the signature frequency sweeps. Viewed
in a 1981 context, musically, it’s more akin to what the LAFMS (Los
Angeles Free Music Society) pool of artists were doing at that time than
what was happening in industrial music... There’s a strong playfulness
throughout, like the sound objects are being explored for the first
time, without neither restraint nor hurry. Events are allowed to be
fully examined before the music moves on, or simply cuts off. To a large
degree, the music on “Collection” feels acoustic in nature, although a
Electro-Harmonix ring-modulator features prominently throughout.»
Easily described as a rarely encountered revelation into the original
and earlier documented studio sound of Merzbow, “Collection 001-010”
collectively amounts to an engrossing sonic journey in its own right,
while also allowing for important, often overlooked connections drawn
from numerous other creative wellsprings, notably free jazz, underground
rock, the output of European and Japanese avant-garde music, as well as
Dada, Fluxus, and Mail Art, much of which, beyond the illumination made
possible by the sounds, Jim O’Rourke’s fantastic interview with Akita,
published in the booklet, further explores, offering great insights into
the origins of Merzbow and the thinking behind the project, as well as
aspects of the earliest days of Japanese noise.
Absolutely incredible in every possible way, with “Collection 001-010”
Urashima takes their already astounding dedication to the output of
Merzbow to new heights, producing one of the most beautiful and
historically significant releases we’re likely to encounter in 2025.
Gathering the entirety of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani’s first ten
releases together, largely privately released by the band on cassette
across 1981, in a deluxe, 10 LP vinyl box set, with each full-length
fully remastered from the original analog tapes by Masami Akita himself,
optimized for vinyl pressing by Andrea Marutti, and housed in its own
individual sleeve reproducing the original artwork, alongside a LP-sized
32-page book containing reproductions of original artworks and collages
by Masami Akita, an interview with Akita conducted by Jim O'Rourke, and
liner notes penned by Lasse Marhaug, Thurston Moore and Akita himself,
all housed in a stunningly produced wooden box.

Jonathan Kaspar - Power

Jonathan Kaspar - 1993
*** COLOURED VINYLS ARE LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ***
Vinyl colours: Neon Orange, Light Blue, Yellow
Known for his ability to create captivating, emotionally charged techno, Jonathan Kaspar eventually returns to Cocoon Recordings with his third contribution Twofold Split. One, yet simultaneously two releases that once again showcase his extraordinary talent through condensed techno with a pinch of trance, weaving together driving rhythms and atmospheric textures in a way that feels innovatively progressive.
Tracklist: (1) Jonathan Kaspar - Power (DE-Q20-25-00004)
(2) Jonathan Kaspar – 1993 (DE-Q20-25-00005)
COR12179_B – Twofold – Fade
Rooted in a minimalist rhythmic structure, ‘Power’ takes us in a new direction, steadily building momentum as its energy billows upwards, with the intensity never wavering throughout. A large, dented, tinny tuba sounds imposingly as Jonathan blows louder and louder into the old thing, its raw, metallic tone instantly commanding attention. What an explosion in the break, leading us into a wild, almost chaotic energy, before Kaspar’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that the shimmering synths feel perfectly placed, guiding us to the absolute freak-out moment. After all the insanity, Jonathan Kaspar takes us by the hand and leads us into a melodic, trancy after-hours mood with “1993,” bringing a sense of release after the wild ride of the previous tracks. What a successful closing track to this outstanding release. With its melodic trance influences, it offers a soothing, almost nostalgic atmosphere, bringing a sense of calm and closure, a perfect moment of introspection and euphoria as
the EP winds down.

Jonathan Kaspar - Silver Lines
Known for his ability to create captivating, emotionally charged techno, Jonathan Kaspar eventually returns to Cocoon Recordings with his third contribution Twofold Split. One, yet simultaneously two releases that once again showcase his extraordinary talent through condensed techno with a pinch of trance, weaving together driving rhythms and atmospheric textures in a way that feels innovatively progressive.
Tracklist: (1) Jonathan Kaspar – Yah (DE-Q20-25-00002)
(2) Jonathan Kaspar – Silver Lines (DE-Q20-25-00003)
COR12179_A – Twofold - Ignite
Drifting hypnotically, this might be the most fitting way to describe what Jonathan Kaspar unfolds before us here. The rolling percussion grooves seamlessly intertwine with the siren's spectral tone, gradually blending into the alchemy of ‘Yah’ as it erupts into the mix. By the time the peak arrives, there’s a raw intensity in the air - the track seems to bend and stretch then drills and twists until it cracks, but never loses its sense of purpose and remainsanchored in its deep, pulsating groove. On the flip side, ‘Silver Lines’ stands as a counterpart, offering a contrast in both sound and atmosphere. With its minimalist arrangement, the track first nestles in gently, lulling the listener into its world—only to tighten its grip as a synth sequence gradually opens its cut-off filter, slicing through the calm, drilling into the mind, and shifting the mood from tranquil to tense.

Eva - Mr Love (Luca Dell'Orso Remix)
After an extended break from vinyl releases, Mothball Record is back with a long awaited Italo-disco reissue.
A longtime passion project of label owner Hysteric, “Take Me… Mr Love” is something of a unique entry in the later years of Italo-disco, forgoing the typically smooth and processed sound in favour of a rough and low budget production, making up in charm what it lacks in polish.
The release is completed by a powerful remix from the Dutch Italo sensation Luca Dell’Orso. Coming off the back of a string of successful releases on Bordello A Parigi, Red Laser Records and Ritmo Fatale, here he brings new life into the track and takes it into well and truly to the dancefloor.

Eddie C / LJ Simon - U Be Mine (ITALO DEVIANCE ACID CONTROL MIX)
Red Motorbike maestro Eddie C and Berlin's rising boogie-funk star LJ Simon drop on the ensemble with an anthemic ode to the most sought-after of desires. We’ve been keeping this secret for far too long; it’s time to bring U Be Mine into the light, complete with remixes from Lex, Da Silva and Marcello Giordani aka Italo Deviance.
It was just over a year ago when Eddie sent us the original demo of U Be Mine. I remember plugging in the speakers in my flat, pressing play. A flash from a place of love that wet, grey day. The lyrical bass, euphoric stabs, the iconic delay, the pining vox. There are times where things seem naturally bound, designed to intertwine. An instant essential. We couldn’t wait to throw it down in the disco. Much like the coveted desire of its vocoder-clad protagonist, we needed a club-ready fx. Eddie, getting the message, sent us over a quick master - the Eddie C ‘Cash’ Version. Over the next year, at parties from Lisbon to Ibiza, I saw how those swirling arps locked onto the floor, how dancers cozied up to its decadent groove. It was peak time, warm-up and wind-down all at once. In the true spirit of the ensemble, we got to work curating a cast of balearic technicians to write their distinct shade of depth onto Eddie and Simon's golden letter. And that’s where it lands.
Lex from Athens casts an exotic, eclectic spirit with his Plaka Remix, all shuffling percussions and wild, breezy strings, rejigged baselines and NYC disco tackle. Label curator Da Silva ups the ante with his 7-minute club-ready fx: tight kicks and searing acid, all the bells and whistles for your peak-time excursions. Finally, Marcello Giordani shifts into hyperdrive with the ITALO DEVIANCE ACID CONTROL version, conjuring creatures of the night in kaleidoscopic configurations, a trusted party roller for the most decadent dance floors.
We’re releasing U Be Mine on 150 pristine discs only. Claim it as yours, forevermore.
