SQUANDERERS return to deliver "Skantagio", the follow up to their debut album, If a Body Meet a Body (Shimmy-Disc, 2024). “We were in the studio for one day, and performed all pieces on that first LP prior to breaking for lunch. Skantiago contains the pieces we performed after lunch,” says bassist and Shimmy-Disc founder, Kramer. “We may be SQUANDERERS, but we don’t dally. And we don’t labour over our spontaneous inventions while we’re in the studio.”
As hard as obsidian and blazingly fast bass playing, ferocious orchestral soundscapes, and a relentless series of sharp turns traversing progressive, ambient, electronic, and experimental music—this ambitious work, true to its name “Chamber Concerto,” pushes the very limits of musical structure itself.
Originally self-released under the artist name 'Stereotype' in 1994, an hour of raw, dancefloor-focused early Squarepusher productions, fuelled by pirate radio and rave, remastered from the original tapes. A companion of sorts to the debut album under the Squarepusher name, Feed Me Weird Things, which was recorded around the same time before emerging on Rephlex Records in 1996.
Stereotype will be released on 24 October via Warp Records, recut as a 2 x LP vinyl edition (the original release crammed nearly an hour of music onto one 12” single!), and available on CD and digitally for the very first time.
Released in March 2004, the genius Squarepusher's masterpiece “Ultravisitor” is not only one of the most popular releases in his illustrious discography, but also a milestone masterpiece that has defined his reputation. From the anthemic title track to the classic “Iambic 9 Poetry,” a fan favorite since its release, to the furious electronica of “Steinbolt” to the blissfully sunny melodies of “Tommib Help Buss,” the blend of studio and live recordings This album, a blend of studio and live recordings, is a perfect example of the diversity of music that Tom Jenkinson, aka Square Pusher, creates.

psalmist of longing i surrender to the sanctitude pour of a slicing of suns, the flood of the suns' un-skinning You begin from me just as i begin to end, i purify the spill of the blood of the forgotten. - St Agnis +++++ Recorded in Jamaica Queens, New York 2023-2024 Mastered by Dima Ibrahim
Stan Hubbs’ privately recorded psych statement Crystal emerged from a secluded cabin in the California redwoods, where he conjured a woozy, smoked-out haze that sits somewhere between Iron Butterfly’s tranced-out heaviness and a more DIY, hallucinatory strain of outsider folk-rock. Middle-aged and working far from any scene or industry, Hubbs captured a blurred, dream-logic world of guitar leads, burnt tape ambience, spectral keys and narcotised vocals that feel both intimate and otherworldly. This edition from Numero Group restores his original 16-page poetry and doodle booklet, a handmade inner map to the record’s private universe.
"Linear ancient voltage-controlled sound rituals. Alien liturgical tones" Convergence is an ambient album formed through a series of morning rituals during rehabilitation following a severe medical event and an extended hospital stay. After weeks immersed in the constant alarms, beeps, and environmental signals of medical equipment, the act of listening itself became recalibrated. The music was performed and assembled using glass marimba, flute, and analog synthesizers, with each instrument treated as a source of resonance and gradually dissected through spectral analysis—allowing melody to emerge from fragments through repetition, attention, and daily practice, where synthesis functions not as traditional composition but as an exchange of signals. Working slowly and intuitively, Stardust Multiplier approaches sound as a communicative medium between humans, the natural environment, and non-ordinary states of perception. Motifs evolve through repetition and subtle variation, informed by ceremonial music, mythic structures, and speculative communication frameworks associated with non-human intelligence—not as narrative devices, but as metaphors for attuned listening and pattern recognition. Rather than moving toward resolution, Convergence documents moments of alignment—instances where intention, system, and environment briefly synchronize. The result is a restrained, deeply focused record, less concerned with atmosphere than attention, where synthesis functions as both a grounding practice and a method of inquiry.
Ultra-positive consciousness from Afro-Caribbean London, circa 1979. Members of the legendary 20th Century Steel Band (one of Grand Master Flash's favourites) sailing Trinidad-wise over gratifyingly intricate African ritual rhythms. Strong vocals compliment reggae, funk, disco and soul influences to form a relentless groove machine.
Steel an' Skin, a unit composed of young nightclub musicians born in Ghana, Nigeria, St. Kitts, Trinidad and the U.K., who once performed with Ginger Johnson's Afrikan Drummers, a highlife band under the tutelage of the late Ginger Johnson and played at Johnson's Iroko Country Club in Hampstead, London. Steel an' Skin began activities giving concerts and workshops in London schools, expanding nationwide to schools, prisons, psychiatric hospitals and summer festivals, including the world-famous Notting Hill Carnival. The group combined an admirably brave, open and unironic mix of musical forms with community outreach, non-cynical and untainted by preachiness or "social work." Good feelings from good hearts.
This EM reissue consists of Steel an' Skin's 1979 debut 12 inch single "Reggae is Here Once Again", featuring "Afro Punk Reggae (Dub)", a fine disco-dub workout, plus some tracks from their 1984 recordings, as well as one unissued track.

R We There Yet? is a split EP by Stefan Ringer, a leading figure of the next generation house scene who is based in his hometown Atlanta while maintaining a truly global presence, and Takuro Higuchi, owner of the record store/record label Dotei Records. The two first met when Stefan visited Japan for the first time in 2023, and deepened their connection through a DJ tour across Japan in 2024. This project began when Stefan visited Takuro's home and Takuro confessed that he was making music, but struggling to finish a track. Stefan suggested that they produce a split EP, and when Takuro said, "I'll try" Stefan said “You are not just trying. You are doing it.” This was the fire that Takuro needed - encouraged by his words, Takuro began working on music again and finally finished two tracks. The title R We There Yet? comes from a phrase repeated in Stefan's track A2, Road to Shizuoka. It was inspired by the long, unexpectedly drawn-out drive Stefan and Takuro took while on tour from Hachioji to Shizuoka, and evolved into a broader reflection — Am I (or are you) really reaching the things we're striving for in life? Am I truly working hard to move forward? It’s a message that questions one’s journey, daily practice, and the spirituality that lies within. I hope you also enjoy Taizo Watanabe’s artwork, which beautifully captures the theme of encounters that transcend place and time.
XKatedral in collaboration with La Becque Editions are proud to present a new album release from Stephen O’Malley, co-founder of SUNN O))). This record contains two long-form compositions for pipe organ by Stephen O’Malley, which he performs alongside Kali Malone and Frederikke Hoffmeier.
The album was recorded on Les Grandes Orgues (Scherrer (1777), Walker (1867), Kuhn (1995)) at Église Saint-François, Lausanne, Switzerland, on Christmas 2021, initially composed by Stephen within a suite titled Les Sphères (effondrez-les) Phases I-V, for a collaboration with Belgian/Swiss choreographer Cindy Van Acker.

Wildly prolific, O’Malley’s oeuvre is defined by its remarkable breadth, complexity and multidisciplinary interests. It includes collaborations with a wide range of experimental artists, including Scott Walker, Kali Malone, Alvin Lucier, choreographer Gisèle Vienne, the authors Dennis Cooper and Alan Moore, Peter Rehberg, Fujiko Nakaya, Jim Jarmusch, Johan Johansson, experimental music research centers IRCAM, INA-GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm) and many others.

His live performances feature a reverberating fog of electric guitar minimalism – sorcery that challenges boundaries of space and time.
