The intention is to promote people who make beautiful music.
The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.
We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.
Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.
Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!
Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.
If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.
FTR are a damn fine label based in Newcastle in the UK run by Keith Mitchell who records as Inhibition, White Walls, Unit 731 and Deutsche Christen. First came on my radar when I bought the Inhibition split with Kylie Mynoise last year from Lea Cummings' Kovorox Sound label.
Keith offers (almost) the entire catalogue of 50 (and counting) releases as free downloads but I highly recommend buying the physical relases...it sounds better and the packaging etc really is high quality.
This is Ontayso. This is their Project 24 Hours...erm...project. Ontayso are Mexican Esther Santoyo and Belgian Koen Lybaert. Largely, this would be called ambient but there are strands of dub, techno and IDM. This is your favourite headspace mixed with the occasional music in your favourite horror flicks.
D'ya know those times that you're ripping because some fuckwit rules your life? This is the music that creates the space where you can feel yourself again...and develop a strategy to save the world ... or kill the bastards.
Released between 2006 and 2007, the 24 discs were gathered together in late 2007 with a bonus disc...tune in...turn off...think on!
Tiny picture for a big album. Compilation released on Self Abuse Records in 1996. Self Abuse Records is run by Patrick O'Neil of Skin Crime so you know the quality of their releases is way high!

This is a really great compilation from two really great DIY labels. Small Doses and Phage Tapes combined to release this as a fundraiser for the Minneapolis Noise Fest last April. Apparently this came in only 135 copies but you can still find it if you look hard enough. Both label owners sell direct from Discogs here and here. Go support!

Japanese explosive psychedelic rock band. Formed in 1982 by Asahito Nanjo and Munehiro Narita under the name Psychedelic Speed Freaks, they changed their name to High Rise when the group released their debut album in 1984.
This is the third of the Psychedelic Atmosphere Beatnik boxsets on La Musica Records (LMB161-170).
Superb collection of Peel Sessions from bands that flew out of the Earache stable. When Earache turned up in the mid 80s, they were an absolute revelation, introducing a slew of underground UK hardcore bands to these ears! These sessions capture the main early players at their best. Later termed as grindcore...it was always punk as fuck to me.
Earache are still out there bursting eardrums at will...if this floats yer boat, check them out here
