  • Ester Poly – Wet LP (Hummus Records)

    Ester Poly – Wet LP (Hummus Records)

    Here’s another recent release by Hummus Records, a record label based in La Chaux De Fonds, Switzerland. For those who’re not familiar with the activities of this record label, Hummus Records usually releases experimental artists, but the entire catalog is surprisingly good. I had the privilege to listen and review a decent amount of their…

  • /A\ – /A\ LP (Hummus Records)

    /A\ – /A\ LP (Hummus Records)

    I have to admit that the sheer amount of brilliant new groups blows my mind regularly. No matter which genre we’re talking about, you can always find out something to keep you entertained for a while, and most of these brand new groups sound surprisingly good. /A\ is one of those bands that blew me…

  • Noisesculptor – Ordinary Mind Disorders 2xCD (Unsigned Label)

    Noisesculptor – Ordinary Mind Disorders 2xCD (Unsigned Label)

    To be quite honest, I listened to a decent amount of noise releases over twenty years or so, but I rarely stumbled upon collections and selected works. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying these compilations don’t exist, but for some reason, they’re rare, and noisicians are usually sticking to the recently recorded material.…

  • ParaNoiZ ‎– The Rules Of Free Improvisation CD

    ParaNoiZ ‎– The Rules Of Free Improvisation CD

    It has been a while since I wrote about experimental music on these pages due to some responsibility towards other music genres. A pile of avant-garde releases awaited on the shelf for a couple of months, so finally, the time has come to dedicate a couple of posts to the releases I received from the…

  • Lofter – Ulcer CS EP (Cherub Dream Records)

    Lofter – Ulcer CS EP (Cherub Dream Records)

    It’s always encouraging to see how some underground record labels are growing rapidly fast. Most artists would have a hard time managing publishing and the logistics of their releases without immense help from these record labels. Cherub Dream Records is one of those independent record labels that are evolving fast without losing on consistency and…

  • VA – Vinylized Vol​.​6 LP (4mg Records)

    VA – Vinylized Vol​.​6 LP (4mg Records)

    Here’s another treat for all the admirers of experimental music. Vinylized represents a special edition curated by 4mg Records, a non-profit label that releases underground electronic music on vinyl and cassettes. Today, I will talk about the sixth edition that gathers names such as Ján Boleslav Kladivo, Troi Boglesseoure, Imiafan, Richard Imrich, Royal Hungarian Noisemakers,…

  • Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)

    Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)

    Here’s another dosage of Hungarian avant-garde experimentations, but this time it comes with a twist. Fixateur Externe are not strangers to these pages, and previously I had a chance to review a couple of their recordings. This material could easily pass as various artist compilation, mainly because this release represents a collection of remixes. Disco…

  • Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)

    Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)

    At first, I thought this was a split cassette release, but after a while, I realized it is a live collaboration between Abattoir and Satori. This material is not their first collaboration, and previously they released the album version of Megaloschemos and another collaborative cassette named Aether. Abattoir is a side project of Lorenzo Abattoir,…

  • Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3​-​Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)

    Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3​-​Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)

    Here’s another interesting experimental release, which is also one of the latest published by the Unsigned, an avant-garde music label from Budapest, Hungary. Just as the vast portion of their previous releases, Unsigned follow some principles by releasing music on cassettes or compact discs. This time, I am dealing with a split cassette release between…

  • Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)

    Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)

    Here’s another interesting experimental recording, recently released by Unsigned and Blastbeat Worship. Like many other avant-garde outlets, Fixateur Externe are strangers to these pages, and I previously had a chance to review a couple of their releases. Fixateur Externe is more of a collective than a project, mainly because it gathers various Hungarian experimental artists…

  • Rovar17 & The Three​-​Brained Robot – Split CS (Alien Seduction)

    Rovar17 & The Three​-​Brained Robot – Split CS (Alien Seduction)

    Here’s another experimental release worth mentioning that would be such a treat for those who’re not looking out for any particular subgenre of avant-garde music. Both outlets are exploring various experimental genres, so this material appears as diverse and unique as possible. Rovar17 is not a stranger to these pages, and I had a chance…

  • OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)

    OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)

    It’s been a while since I had a chance to stumble upon, listen and review the material of an experimental artist. Unlike the traditional music scene, it seems a lot of experimental artists decided to take a break during 2020 or work on some other projects. The songwriting and recording process usually takes a lot…
