FLABBERGAST duo Vincent Lemieux and Guillaume Coutu Dumont presents, via Yoyaku x Chapelle XIV, their first full-length album “Consolation in Constellation,” an expertly composed interplanetary voyage of sound.
Emerging first as an unexpected collab/supernova for a MUTEK_rec release, Flabbergast has evolved exponentially since its inception. Drawing from their respective musical roots in improvised live sets and classical composition, Lemieux and Dumont’s collaborative digital work stands out for its unique blend of spontaneity and discovery, combining experimental elements with a focused, coherent approach.]
Rooted in their rich history of compositional experience and musical influence, this new release defies classification and convention, offering an auditory travel experience orbiting electronic, jazz, acid house, and futuristic grooves.
Throughout the album, percussive progressions evolve into infectious breakbeats and intricately crafted galactic grooves. Consolation in Constellation is a voyage through space and time – an experimental journey where Flabbergast navigates new frontiers composed of events horizons, planetary systems and gleaming stars.
In harmony with the artistic vision of Yoyaku and Chapelle XIV, the album’s cover art seamlessly integrates the visual with sound in an immersive invitation to exploration.
Multimedia artists Marius Escande and Sarah Illouz bring the project’s psychedelic, galactic essence to life with surreal and multidimensional visuals reminiscent of a dream or former existence.
Consolation in Constellation is a masterful debut album from Flabbergast; with its mastery of genre, composition, and experimentation, it paves the way for a future destined to push the boundaries of sound to infinity.

Flabbergast - Serpentoute
Genre: House - Minimal
Tracklist:
A. Timecrowave
B. Serpentoute
Short Info:
Montreal duo Flabbergast—aka Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Vincent Lemieux—return to Circus Company, the label where it all began with their debut EP in 2015. Now seasoned veterans of leftfield club experimentation, they deliver Weirdo Active, a two-track vinyl release that distills their signature
blend of groove, absurdity, and refined weirdness.
On the A-side, “Timecrowave” is a swung, syncopated burner built around fragmented drum programming, warbled synth textures, and subtly detuned atmospheres. It's a tool that thrives in the inbetween moments of a set—unpredictable yet fluid.
On the B-side “Serpentoute,” a slinky groove laced with dubwise processing and modular squelch, maintaining tension through micro-edits and playful FX. Perfect for after-hours transitions or more openminded floors.
Following standout releases on Yoyaku, Copier/Coller, and Chapelle XVI, Flabbergast continue to offer up dance music that’s deeply heady, subtly unhinged, and always full of intent. A finely sculpted dose of dancefloor surrealism—just the way Flabbergast likes it.

Tracklist:
A1 – Frozen Beans A2 – Gros Sabots
B1 – Wash Karma B2 – Lunatic Lines
Short info:
Following the playful tones of Feathered Sun and Carlos Nilmmns, Circus Company continues its run of distinctive singles with a four-track release from new production entity Flabbergast. While the name might not be familiar, the imagination-soaked minds behind the music are synonymous with the history
of Circus Company. Guillaume Coutu-Dumont is of course one of our most treasured sons, a Montreal-man turned Berlinboy with no less than two albums and seven EPs scattered amongst our back catalogue, let alone his achievements elsewhere. He first came to light on the Mutek and Musique Risquee labels, both of which have had the guiding hand of Vincent Lemieux at the controls, and now the two long-time friends have joined forces in the studio to conjure up some heavy grooving voodoo that feeds directly from their respective experiences in the freakier ends of the house and techno spectrum. On all four tracks, there is a concurrent theme that binds together this new sound world of Flabbergast. The production hits raw and direct, with dead-eye rhythms providing a functional structure around which surreal sonic decoration can frolic. “Frozen Beans” has a twitchy lead and all manner of displaced vocal snippets drifting around the sparse mix, but there is still space for the warmth of a Rhodes to sneak in before things get too unnerving. “Gros Sabots” meanwhile has fun with some roughly hewn drum breaks, before “Wash Karma” gets into a spooked-out, exotic incantation of minimal techno with an emphasis on cheeky funk of the highest order. With its delicate elements, flairs of percussion and deadly bassline, this is the kind of track to sneak up on the unsuspecting and shake
their hips with inappropriate intent before they know what’s hit them. New Release Information In many ways EP closer “Lunatic Lines” captures the essence of this new project from Coutu-Dumont and Lemieux, sporting a jammed-out, warts-n-all finish that fizzes with impulsive ideas and an innate
understanding of what makes a track as fun as it is rocking. For the first strains of a project coming to life, this is a record that brims with confidence, giving off exactly the kind of deviant dancefloor flavour Circus Company founded itself on.

ATEQ and Samuel Rohrer continue their artistic collaboration in which they explore the realms of avant-garde jazz & ambient, highlighting their versatility.
The EP begins with Tune Analysis, a track where elements collide gently and aggregate like snow falling on the ground. Vuh then gives way to the percussive sounds to express themselves. On B side these percussions are driven into a more organized rhythm in a meditative inducing incantation .These explorations culminate in an elegant synthesis on the final track.

Dave Elson’s contributions with electronic percussion and effects, coupled with Vicky Flint’s mesmerizing trumpet and flute, create a rich, multi-layered soundscape. The inclusion of Bugu Pala and Charles Morgan’s evocative vocals further enriches the album’s diverse palette.

It is an album where each track seamlessly transitions into the next, creating a continuous musical narrative that is both engaging and transformative.

Sato Aka Satoshi Tomiie - A58V (Take 3)
Chapelle XIV Music proudly presents ‘B01V’ by the enigmatic Sato, aka Satoshi Tomiie. The tracks on this EP are produced and curated with DJs in mind, offering different takes and alternative versions of the much sought-after “Blue, Black And Grey.”
A1. ‘B01V’ – The album “Blue, Black And Grey” was a live recording, where the original ‘B01’ served as the second track of continuous play. ‘B01V’ presents an alternative version of ‘B01,’ while maintaining the deepness and vibe, this cut focuses on a DJ mix.
A2. A57V, B1. A56V, and B2. A58V are all different studio takes of A57, A56, and A58 from the album. Although they share similar titles and elements with the ones on the album, they sound like almost different compositions as they were all recorded during Satoshi’s live performances in the studio.”
This 12? pressing serves as a bridge between the mindful journey of the initial 8-tracker double album and the corporeal reality of the dancefloor, making it an essential piece for both collectors and DJs alike.
The sleeve follows the visual identity of the original, displaying Julien Gachadoat’s computer art, which encapsulates the sound frequencies of the album into tangible shapes. Here, these visuals are now reflecting the reinterpreted audio content, keeping the continuity and synergy between both releases intact.
Remember, this is a strictly limited release, designed for those seeking an alternative take on Sato’s mindful journey. Don’t sleep on this one.

Chapelle XIV Music welcomes singer, songwriter, and musician André Baum and his Beyondré moniker with Berlin Blue: a conceptually versatile follow-up LP to 2014’s Beyondré Is Born EP. The making of the Berlin Blue spans three cities, two lockdowns, and one heartbreak making this a musical endeavor that reflects a journey of growth, both in self and sound, that Baum embraced in the past years. Channelling personal experiences and years of electronic experimentation in his broad and eccentric pop-leaning productions, Baum isn’t shy to blend influences to satisfying and moving results.
Berlin Blue’s story will start with first single and video “Runaway” out on April 14th. The second single “What You Need” will drop on May 12th. The full LP comes out on vinyl & digital on June 9th. Berlin Blue is a trip through self-discovery in dark times, woven with sensitive and thought-provoking vocals and innovative songs for body and mind: a fresh take on modern electronic music from the multi-talented New Yorker. Beyondré makes his mark as a genre-blending visionary, an explorer of analog circuitry, and a complex artist yearning to seek deeper and fearless truths – not just of sound, but also humanity. This is electronic music from the heart, for the heart.

Né de la collaboration entre le disquaire Yoyaku et la galerie d’art Chapelle XIV, les sonorités de Chapelle XIV Music ont vocation à une écoute attentive, et incluent des sonorités plus pop, avec un spectre électronique large.

Black Truffle is thrilled to announce Spilla, the second album from Nantes-based Ensemble Nist-Nah, 48 minutes of music for Gamelan, drum kits, wood and metal percussion instruments, and plucked strings that will surely count as one of the most electrifying records you hear this year. Founded by the Australian drummer/percussionist Will Guthrie in 2019, continuing the explorations begun in solo form on Nist-Nah (Black Truffle, 2020), the ensemble (eight or nine core members with occasional guests) has been consistently active in the half-decade since: composing, rehearsing, recording and touring Europe (with a mass of equipment in tow) to great acclaim. Spilla tracks the continuing evolution of the project since the recording of their first album, Elders (Black Truffle, 2022). The two sides of this record document two different iterations of the group, and the members' compositional input has increased: each side contains one piece by a member other than Guthrie. It has become clearer than ever that Ensemble Nist-Nah is not an attempt at a European Gamelan ensemble but rather a hybrid percussion ensemble that uses instruments from a Javanese Gamelan alongside other percussion to perform original music informed by a variety of South East Asian music but also by everything from free jazz to contemporary hip-hop: while Nist-Nah and Elders both featured traditional Javanese pieces, on Spilla the only tune not generated by a member of the group is by Guthrie’s long-time musical hero and occasional collaborator Roscoe Mitchell.
The two short pieces that open the record could almost be the two sides of a wild 7” selected to show off what the Ensemble can do. On opener ‘Gerak Maju’, intricately skittering open-snare patterns bounce over clanging metal, chiming bell-like tones and deep gong hits, adapting the rhythm-register connections heard in traditional Gamelan musics—where the lowest pitched sounds are heard least frequently—to a cut-up breakbeat straight off Feed Me Weird Things. ‘Strollabout’ then moves into an entirely different realm of meditative repeating patterns, performed entirely on Chinese, Javanese and Vietnamese gongs. The remaining seven pieces, ranging from three to twelve minutes, offer up a wealth of different percussive, compositional and arrangement possibilities. On ‘Ghostly Klang’, two drumkits mirror each other’s moves, bouncing hats and snares across the stereo field in a way that recalls On the Corner and the jittering hi hat patterns of trap, while slow moving melodies on the tuned instruments add a sense of majesty contrasted by scurrying details in resonant wood. The epic closing track presents a take on Roscoe Mitchell’s ‘Uncle’, performed by the Art Ensemble of Chicago on their classic Urban Bushmen live album. Where the Art Ensemble used Mitchell’s dirge-like melody as a jumping off point for virtuosic improvisational flights, Ensemble Nist-Nah rethink the piece as a near-static dialogue between the monumental, slow-moving sequence of unison tuned percussion notes and a textural cloud that grows in richness and intensity from whispering cymbal rolls into a mass of gong overtones and bowed metal.
Beautifully recorded and mixed, Spilla arrives in a sleeve decorated with core member Charles Dubois’ drawings of cymbals and gongs. Against the backdrop of a wider musical landscape dominated by over-produced electronic slop and bland harmonic wallpaper, Ensemble Nist-Nah stands out as a reminder, vital and unpretentious, of the joys and possibilities of human beings playing instruments together.

Manzo Edits Vol. 5 trots proudly back into the ring, tail high and hooves tapping, with four fresh cuts to leave the dancefloor gasping for hay. "Rosy" opens the stampede with groovy springtime melancholy: Manzo is lovesick, staring across the fence at a cow he just can’t forget. "Amare Moto" slinks in with sultry swagger, a slow and sexy jam built to get the hips moving. On the flip, "You Have To Cry Tonight" struts in with crisp Italo drums and more attitude than a Saturday night stallion. We close with "Bring Me", an alpine rave of cowbells and yodeling, ready for the pasture.

When Daichi Furukawa showed up on our radar in 2018, it was at a time when the ESP Institute was loosely focusing on (our obtuse version of) club-friendly releases, but upon our first listen to his Ground demos that would become his debut 2xLP 'Sunizm', we immediately threw accessibility out the window again. Ground is technically from Osaka, but we believe he’s actually from another planet, merely passing through, collecting data from all aspects of Earth—be it organic, animal, chemical, or human-made fodder. Perhaps his clan found the “Golden Record” on our space junk Voyager 1 and considered our attempt at self-representation oblivious, mediocre, laughable, and decided to come show us how it could be done properly. After the inimitable 'Sunizm', a slew of singles and remixes, and follow-up EP entitled 'Wakusei', we’re proud to finally present the long-awaited 2xLP, 'Yaoyorozoo'. Once again, Daichi steps into some hybrid-of-hybrids territory—a truly mutant fusion of culture and sonics that should make no sense at all, but his confidence (and disregard for public comprehension) shows no mercy in thrusting his vision upon us. 'Yaoyorozoo' is both ancient and future, primitive and advanced, tribal and lone wolf—a mélange of human success and failure, a cerebral scraping of consciousness, a granular paste of Earthly artefacts smeared across 73 minutes. Moments of undeniable beauty devolve into heavy and uncomfortable hallucinations, voices speak to us from hidden spaces in the soundstage… or do they? Scenes are set just long enough for the listener to accept one reality, only to be abruptly disoriented by jarring elements that pull our subconscious center-stage and question our sense of perception. What the fuck is actually happening here? Everything evolves tangentially, much like dream abstractions—or this press release itself—testing the limits of audience patience and laughing at any semblance of what’s acceptable, functional, or conventional.

Jimi Tenor - Release Me! (Special Guest Dub)
Imagine this: Sitting in a darkened room in Dalston, London… the music pushes across a very nicely tuned sound system, (a la Cafe Oto) the artist says "not quite sure what to do with this track, or what to call it"…. In a moment of bravado one shouts out in reply "Release it!" Well this is where the very long story starts… we won't bother you with the other details for now, but this is the start of how we managed to have the one and only Jimi Tenor to grace the fl.oz roster! Jimi went onto play 'Release Me!' live for Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music the following day and we've kind of been playing catch up ever since, The 'brukked' up remix and dub versions come courtesy of Special Guest - the new guise of (ex zero dB) Chris Vogado… more to come:
