this week, 8–14 October
- 14.10.2026 New release Munda — Delia A former textile mill leaves its mark on Delia, Munda’s four-part study of industrial memory and material decay. Recorded at Catalonia’s Konvent, Selu Herraiz reveals the site’s buried histories through field recordings, rusted metal and a battered Yamaha Electone organ, drawing a raw sonic landscape from the remnants of a place and the traces it holds.Play via Bandcamp: Munda — Delia Details: Munda — Delia
- 13.10.2026 New release Alva Noto — Lichtstimme Alva Noto imagines a film that exists only through sound on Lichtstimme, the first part of a diptych inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann’s The Sandman. Thirteen concise compositions begin in a space of apparent clarity, where weightless textures and a sense of familiarity gradually give way to shifting perceptions. What first seems transparent slowly reveals its darker underside, blurring the line between recognition and uncertainty. Details: Alva Noto — Lichtstimme
- 13.10.2026 New release Alva Noto — Schattenstimme On Schattenstimme, Alva Noto takes the imagined cinema of his two-part project into more unfamiliar territory. Recorded with percussionist Rainer Römer and Ensemble Modern, the second album introduces the Sixxen, whose metallic, microtonal resonances unsettle the surrounding sonic space. Drawing on the shifting identities of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s The Sandman, its thirteen pieces trace a passage through fractured perception and transformation, where the strange gradually becomes part of the self. Details: Alva Noto — Schattenstimme
- 13.10.2026 New release Aurora Halal — Red Alert After years away from her own imprint, Aurora Halal returns to Mutual Dreaming with Red Alert, a five-track excursion into the outer reaches of her sound. From urgent rhythms and luminous electronic motifs to weightier, slower passages and psychedelic haze, the EP shifts between dancefloor momentum and unsettled atmospheres, tracing a path through hypnotic grooves and cosmic tension.Play via Bandcamp: Aurora Halal — Red Alert Details: Aurora Halal — Red Alert
- 12.10.2026 New release Blu Aloé — Time Leaks A study in gradual erosion, Blu Aloé’s Time Leaks brings the shifting chemistry of metal into sound. Conceived for Taylah Hasaballah’s INDICATRIX exhibition, the piece fuses granular fragments, distorted drones and raw recordings of resonant surfaces into an unsettled sonic landscape. Nothing remains fixed: textures corrode, collide and transform, caught between material collapse and a beauty that resists resolution.Play via Bandcamp: Blu Aloé — Time Leaks Details: Blu Aloé — Time Leaks
- 09.10.2026 New release Pete Swanson & Ilyas Ahmed — Things Left Unseen Twenty years of friendship before a note was committed to tape: Pete Swanson and Ilyas Ahmed finally meet in the studio for Things Left Unseen. Recorded live without overdubs, its two extended compositions set Ahmed’s languid guitar against Swanson’s corroded electronics, moving from suspended, low-lit drones to surges of static and distortion. A shared history takes shape as sound, somewhere between fragility and noise.Play via Bandcamp: Pete Swanson & Ilyas Ahmed — Things Left Unseen Details: Pete Swanson & Ilyas Ahmed — Things Left Unseen
- 09.10.2026 New release Grischa Lichtenberger — Wavepropagation One wave, countless events: Grischa Lichtenberger’s Wavepropagation builds entire pieces from a single oscillator, drawing melody, bass and percussion from one continuous signal. Inspired in part by the overlapping traces of life on Kyiv’s Dnipro river, the record explores how complexity emerges from a single moving form, even when waves appear to cancel each other out.Play via Bandcamp: Grischa Lichtenberger — Wavepropagation Details: Grischa Lichtenberger — Wavepropagation
- 09.10.2026 New release Luca Maniaci — Ad Aeternum A return to darker territory: Luca Maniaci reappears on Edit Select with Ad Aeternum, tracing a path through sci-fi atmospheres and restrained tension. Shifting rhythms keep the journey in motion, drawing subtle patterns out of the shadows.Play via Bandcamp: Luca Maniaci — Ad Aeternum Details: Luca Maniaci — Ad Aeternum
- 09.10.2026 New release Speedy J & Rødhåd — The Department Of Almost - Second Office Cold starts, borrowed lime and glacial skies: Speedy J and Rødhåd introduce The Department Of Almost with Second Office. Born from ten concentrated days in their Berlin studio, eleven compositions move between crafted dancefloor material and spacious, introspective soundscapes, as rhythm and atmosphere gradually fold into one another.Play via Bandcamp: Speedy J & Rødhåd — The Department Of Almost - Second Office Details: Speedy J & Rødhåd — The Department Of Almost - Second Office
