La Rat - New Suns
La Rat steps up to the center circle with a collection of funk and soul-soaked loops and bars, soundtracks for a late night drive through a rainy city. The La Rat aesthetic weaves wider than a drunken cyclist on a busy gracht, delivering ripostes to the status quo across eight tracks, with nods to psych and blues, jazz and latin. The resulting beat collages then laid the foundations for a flurry of outer-limits raps, beamed in from the mind of a cut ‘n’ paste lyricist. The collaborative duo take inspiration from such varying sources as Georgia O’Keeffe, MC Hellshit and DJ Carhouse, Pauline Oliveros, and Rammellzee, and end up reclaiming a slice of hip-hop’s supercharged universe for themselves.

Miradasvacas - Alegria De Vivir
The Madrid duo of Pablo Mirón and Juan Vacas return for their second album 'En Perpetua' as they dive further into their decayed collage and psycho-acoustic-geography. While they remain in similar sonic territory to 'En Perpetua’s' predecessor, 'Of No Fixed Abode', the pair lean into newfound confidence in their process, and the endless possibilities from a new Madrid studio. They employ a selection of instruments including violin, harmonica, voices, guitars, a looper, an FM radio and field recordings from a variety of sources, from the Spanish countryside to exhibition sounds. The result is eight compositions of re-pitched meditations, exploring broken music and rhythmic patterns via their uniquely open-ended, zoned-out tonal journeys.

'Den Helder is the northernmost city of the province of Holland in the Netherlands. It is largely surrounded by water and seems to edge into the North Sea. It has had a military function since the 16th century, but few know that it is the most heavily bombed city in the Netherlands. Seventy years ago it was almost completely wiped off the map. The following is a story imagined in Den Helder...'
'the third of may' was written and recorded in 2020 over the course of six days spent in an old pumping station in the dunes of Huisduinen near Den Helder.

The result is 12 tracks steeped in mind games, romance power plays and neurotoxin rollercoasters, with additional bonus strategies to dissociate with minimum dignity.

Devon Rexi - Koja Raftan
Devon Rexi return with Mini-LP “Biya Ba Man”, a new and improved take on the no wave steppers and post punk grooves of their debut “Tambal EP”.
The five track Mini-LP sees the band expand to a quintet, with originators Nic Mauskovic (drums and vocals) and Nushin Naini (bass and vocals) joined by Tobias Jansen on turntables, Lyckle de Jong on synths and effects and Goya van der Heyden on percussion.
The extra players collaborate to send Devon Rexi’s sound in new directions, amplifying the already extra-dimensional vibe. Synths and vinyl manipulation render a trip hop vibe to the post punk brew, reminding of zoned-out jams like Maxinquaye, or those heady early Mo’Wax.
Opening track “Sjikamo” sets the tone at a deconstructed hip hop tempo, samples spliced up like a classic Celluloid album. “Fargh Nimikoone” ups the pace with a funky 135 bpm lean, and Nushin’s harmonized vocal sounding ever more alien over the conga rhythm. “Marde Pir” closes the first side at another beatdown tempo, the drums flexing like factory pistons.
The B side fires up with “Biya Ba Man Biya” - a proper steppers bounce, Nushin’s farsi singalong chorus is as catchy as it’s ever been. The Mini-LP concludes with “Koja Raftan” bringing plenty of Bomb Squad energy, crescendoing in fine maximal percussive style.
It’s no wave, but not as we know it. With new members bringing effects and collage elements to the spacious minimal wave core, there’s plenty of avenues for future formations of Devon Rexi to explore.

Maria is a trio from Holland and the Czech Republic, who have been producing their own unique post-religious cabaret since 2016. Lyckle, Katerina and Bjorn have amassed seven albums of outsider pop and improvised mayhem over the years. This collection of tracks were mostly made on a farm over a two year period and you can tell the fresh air had a conducive effect on their collective songwriting. A classic sound of drum machines, synth bass, and keyboards holds up Katerina and Lyckle’s vocal interplay alongside Bjorn’s guitars. When the three find their sweet spot, they can conjure up fine slices of whimsical, bleary-eyed pop music that isn’t afraid to smile once in a while and dream big.

*2023 Repress**
A stunning follow-up to his late 2018 release. Mostly recorded live at the Apollo Hotel Amsterdam in 1991. This is a compilation of the ''Apollo Hotel CD box'', that Ronald made himself, for family and friends.. BIG tip!
Some words from the label:
From 1986 until 1992, Ronald had a residency in the lounge of Amsterdam’s Apollo Hotel. He would play there 5 days a week, for 5 hours a day. In 1991, throughout several sessions, he recorded himself on a cassette recorder. The recordings were ranging from re-interpreted cover versions to multiple own compositions.
The Apollo was particularly known for its sophisticated and elegant crowd. Guests would come to meet in the lounge to talk business, or end the day with a drink at the bar - dancing was never an option.
Listening to the album, one must wonder how some of this music would go hand in hand with a place like that. It seems Ronald gets lost in music and returns in unequally balanced patterns. Lounge sounds meet drum computer rhythms, punchy baselines, distorted space noises, reoccurring clarinet interludes and improvised piano solos.
Back then, just as now, Ronald never liked to be the center of attention. He simply tried to interact with the surrounding as a provider of the mood - as he explains himself.
Instruments
Live: Grand Piano, Yamaha QX1 Sequencer, 2x Yamaha TX7 Tone Generator, Drumtraks Sequential Circuits, Clarinet, Voice
Added at home: Yamaha DX7 Sounds, Roland R-8
Space Train: Kurzweil Piano, Yamaha DX7, Roland R-8, Soprano Sax, Voice
Recorded live at the Apollo Hotel Amsterdam in 1991, except 'Space train', which was recorded in Ronald’s living room.
All instruments played and arranged by Ronald Langestraat.
All tracks written an composed by Ronald Langestraat, except 'Lowdown' which was written by David Paich & Boz Scaggs, 'Give and take' which was written by Michael Shrieve, Tom Coster & Carlos Santana and 'Orpheus' which was written by David Sylvian.

Kim David Bots - Oostwestkruisbest
Between 2009 and 2013 Kim recorded a bunch of music; in the old tramtransfer at the Kinkerstraat in Amsterdam (now de Foodhallen), in Berlin living in a biodynamic living community in Lichtenberg & in an apartment on the Hoofdweg in Amsterdam, that doubled as a grow-house.
The title ‘Oostwestkruisbest’ is a combination of the sayings ‘oost west thuis best’ and ‘ieder huisje heeft zijn kruistje’. The first translates as ‘home sweet home’, where the second means every home has its own troubles.
‘Infinity hours remaining’ was made during a prolonged period of sleepless nights. ‘Kopievankopie’ features, amongst other things, a guitar Kim borrowed from his sister. It directly translates as ‘copy of copy’. ‘Die Trommel, der Trum’ was made using a Casiotone 701 with a drummer boy in mind. The title is German for ‘the drum, the dream’. ‘Ongecontroleerde Dagrestanten’ was made with an elastic band (a broad one, that in the Netherlands were used by mailmen) and a clarinet without a mouthpiece. ‘Oostwestkruisbest’ features pots and pans from Kim’s kitchen.

‘Infinity hours remaining’ was made during a prolonged period of sleepless nights. ‘Kopievankopie’ features, amongst other things, a guitar Kim borrowed from his sister. It directly translates as ‘copy of copy’. ‘Die Trommel, der Trum’ was made using a Casiotone 701 with a drummer boy in mind. The title is German for ‘the drum, the dream’. ‘Ongecontroleerde Dagrestanten’ was made with an elastic band (a broad one, that in the Netherlands were used by mailmen) and a clarinet without a mouthpiece. ‘Oostwestkruisbest’ features pots and pans from Kim’s kitchen.

Nicolini - Where Are They From
Nicolini is back with the next installment of stripped-down drum workouts and sound system madness. Spread across seven tracks and as many tempos, the dutch multi-instrumentalist and producer veers effortlessly between looped-up sax riffs (with a Twin Peaks ambience), dubby wave, mutant dancehall, low-slung steppers and manic 180 bpm experiments. Along with guest appearances from Nushin Naini and Martha de Barros, Sopratutto is an adventure through bass cones above and beyond what Nicolini has laid down before. "

Ronald Langestraat - Freedom
Repress!
New material from the enegmatic Mr Langestraat. TIP!
"One afternoon a couple of years ago, an excited Ronald Langestraat could barely contain himself. “I’ve started dancing!” he exclaimed. “I never did it before - I’d always admired it in the past, but just wasn’t able to move like that!” But then, at the ripe old age of 81, Ronald was gripped by the urge to respond to the rhythm and express himself in this physical way.
For a man who’s dedicated his life to music, in particular Jazz with a funky Latin inflection, it feels like an especially sage realization - like the treasure at the end of a long quest, or the princess after the end-game boss. The prize is freedom, and the shapes we make on the dance floor are mirrored in that piano solo over the stanzas - a caravan that trips from smokey basement clubs all the way to Shiva’s Tandava on the edge of the universe.
The music on this album is inspired by this revelation. Although these songs were written many moons ago, their interpretation is modern, full of renewed energy, with young, yet well-worn players. While it slots neatly into the daily music practice that Ronald adheres to, it’s a new chapter in a story that is still being written - and an invitation to get in touch with your dancing self and try out some new moves."

Fizzy Veins - Hey Where Did You Go
Repress!
Picture the scene if you can. It’s Sunday evening at the Meakusma Festival, 2019. A small audience (in varying states of inebriation and recovery) sit patiently on the floor, drenched in soft sunlight. Fizzy Veins is set up to play - his guitar resting on his knees while he stares into his laptop with an expression displaying amusement and fear in equal measure. He tentatively speaks into the microphone. There’s a lot of reverb. I don’t think anybody has the slightest idea what he’s saying. I assume he’s delivering a joke, but it’s very hard to tell. People laugh. After yet more tweaks to his gear he starts to play some loose, bendy phrases on the guitar, and we are all gently vaporised up Mount Effervescent. Our benevolent guru sits at the peak, speaking in tongues to the freshly formed congregation. The beats start to roll out and the sun begins to set in the evening sky. Fizzy transitions and he continues his long distance narration from deep inside his own reverb. It sounds like he’s in another room. On another planet, more like.
Witnessing the show, as I did, left me wondering how he even manages to boot-up his computer.. let alone produce an album as brilliantly formed and coherent as this!
Yours sincerely,
A. Fizzyfan

Flower Storm - An Indifferent Fate
Flower Storm returns with Seh, the third chapter in its unfolding mythos. If Yek was the first winds and Do the deepening of the spell, Seh is where the storm fully takes shape--five slabs of sonic metal, smithed in rhythm and ritual. Sepehr and Kasra V continue their excavation of Iranian folklore through contemporary club mutations, where thunderous percussion and hypnotic cycles push deeper into a space where myth becomes motion. The rhythms continue forward, but the past lingers in the echoes--deities flicker between pulsing machine sequences, time loops and fractures, and tension builds like an incantation. Trance-inducing polyrhythms collide with shadowy textures and melodies stretch and distort like time folding in on itself; the storm rages on. When it rains, it pours.

Format: LP, 300 copies. 180g audiophile vinyl with extensive book. Comes with Obi.
Tracklist:
a1. Kingdom of Lo 12:34
b1. Chasing the Demon 12:50
While they’ve been active for more than two decades, it’s only been in
recent years that the Berlin and New York based contemporary sonic arts
platform, Soundwalk Collective, has begun to gather the accolades and
attention that they rightfully deserve. Firmly rooted within a
multi-disciplinary practice that engages the narrative potential of
sound within the contexts of visual art, dance, music and film, as well
as tapping anthropological, ethnographic, and psycho-geographic
research, they’ve gained great note for collaborations with Jean-Luc
Goddard, Nan Goldin, Sasha Waltz, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and numerous others.
Building on the back of 2023’s brilliant “All the Beauty and the
Bloodshed”, Soundwalk Collective now returns with “Khandroma”, one of
their most fascinating and singular endeavours to date, which re-engages
their enduring creative partnerships with Patti Smith. Issued by Ubi Ku,
a brand new imprint founded by the Italian Buddhist Union dedicated to
the relationships between Buddhist cultures, music, and sound, across
the album’s stunning two sides this incredible ensemble draws
inspiration from and conjures Tibetan deities, the Himalayan Plateau,
the valleys of Nepal and the highest peaks where the most ancient
Buddhist temples reside, culminating as a sprawling sonic tapestry like
little else. Issued as a beautifully produced, limited edition vinyl LP
and CD, mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, complete with a booklet
featuring liner note essays penned by Chiara Bellini and Filippo
Lunardo, and images by Stephan Crasneanscki, it’s hands down among our
favourite releases by Soundwalk Collective to date and not to be missed!
An international experimental sound art collective founded in 2001 by
the artists Stephan Crasneanscki, who was joined in 2008 by producer
Simone Merli, Soundwalk Collective is a contemporary sonic arts
platform, featuring a rotating constellation of artists and musicians,
that, in vastly varied number of ways, has continuously explored the
remarkable potential of sound within the contexts of visual art, dance,
music and film, offering particular emphasis to anthropological,
ethnographic, and psycho-geographic research, examining conceptual,
literary or artistic themes. In addition to their many collaborations
and accolades that attend to an increased ambitious catalog of releases,
they scored Laura Poitras’ film, “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed”,
which won the Golden Lion at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, as well
performed and exhibited at Berghain, CTM Festival, documenta, Manifesta,
New Museum, and Centre Pompidou, where they notably opened “Evidence”, a
exhibition with Patti Smith comprising an audio-visual journey from the
work of French poets Arthur Rimbaud, Antonin Artaud and René Daumal.
While Soundwalk Collective’s output and use of sonority - sometimes
original composition and others manipulated archival recordings - and
context is varied, the project’s endeavours are unified by a focus on
sound as material that is both tactile and poetic, pursuing layered
narratives that address ideas of memory, time, love and loss. Their
latest, “Khandroma”, enlisting Patti Smith’s contribution on one of its
tracks, stands among the most exciting and rich of these explorations yet.
Perhaps the best way of approaching “Khandroma” is through Soundwalk
Collective’s longstanding focus on the discipline of psycho-geography -
a practice that interrogates the impact of an environment’s embedded
histories and meanings on the psychology of the present - as well as the
group’s integration of observations of nature, and uses of non-linear
narrative, as a vehicle for recording and the synthesis of meaning. Like
previous projects that have encountered them traveling extensively
across the world, occupying diverse environments for long periods of
investigation and fieldwork, during which they source materials for
subsequent works, the material roots of “Khandroma” are a body of field
recordings made by Crasneanscki, Francisco López, and Merli at altitudes
between 2,760 and 4,500 meters, in varying locations across Upper
Mustang during 2016.
Drawing the album’s title from the Tibetan feminine deity who reigns the
skies, the album’s two compositions weave a stunning sonic tapestry from
collaged sounds of nature, bells, drones, unplaceable tones and vocals,
and in the case of its second piece, “Chasing the Demon”, the voice of
Patti Smith, culminating as a deeply emotive and imagistic expanse that
taps something far more profound than any of its single parts. As the
collective states: “the album traces the continuous morphing of the wind
into sound expressions. The Himalayan Plateau seems designed to amplify
and echo the encounter of the breaths, the prayers, and the chants
emerging from around and within those temples; amid the sounding of
bells, the turning of prayer wheels, and the billowing of flags. A
resonant musical body that we recorded so as to capture its boundless
mutations; an unstoppable force that cries, whispers, and blows through
and over stones, wood, empty halls and monastic robes, etching an
ever-changing sonic landscape onto the surfaces it encounters.”
Immersive, stunningly beautiful, and haunting, “Khandroma” draws the
ancient and distant into the consciousness of the present, close to
home, bordering on the profound. Issued by Ubi Ku as a beautifully
produced, limited edition vinyl LP and CD, mixed and mastered by
Giuseppe Ielasi, complete with a booklet featuring liner note essays
penned by Chiara Bellini and Filippo Lunardo, and images by Stephan
Crasneanscki, we can’t recommend it enough.

group’s integration of observations of nature, and uses of non-linear
narrative, as a vehicle for recording and the synthesis of meaning. Like
previous projects that have encountered them traveling extensively
across the world, occupying diverse environments for long periods of
investigation and fieldwork, during which they source materials for
subsequent works, the material roots of “Khandroma” are a body of field
recordings made by Crasneanscki, Francisco López, and Merli at altitudes
between 2,760 and 4,500 meters, in varying locations across Upper
Mustang during 2016.
Drawing the album’s title from the Tibetan feminine deity who reigns the
skies, the album’s two compositions weave a stunning sonic tapestry from
collaged sounds of nature, bells, drones, unplaceable tones and vocals,
and in the case of its second piece, “Chasing the Demon”, the voice of
Patti Smith, culminating as a deeply emotive and imagistic expanse that
taps something far more profound than any of its single parts. As the
collective states: “the album traces the continuous morphing of the wind
into sound expressions. The Himalayan Plateau seems designed to amplify
and echo the encounter of the breaths, the prayers, and the chants
emerging from around and within those temples; amid the sounding of
bells, the turning of prayer wheels, and the billowing of flags. A
resonant musical body that we recorded so as to capture its boundless
mutations; an unstoppable force that cries, whispers, and blows through
and over stones, wood, empty halls and monastic robes, etching an
ever-changing sonic landscape onto the surfaces it encounters.”
Immersive, stunningly beautiful, and haunting, “Khandroma” draws the
ancient and distant into the consciousness of the present, close to
home, bordering on the profound. Issued by Ubi Ku as a beautifully
produced, limited edition vinyl LP and CD, mixed and mastered by
Giuseppe Ielasi, complete with a booklet featuring liner note essays
penned by Chiara Bellini and Filippo Lunardo, and images by Stephan
Crasneanscki, we can’t recommend it enough.
