ADD VINYL TO CART BANDCAMP

Six Black Hole jazz dubs by Cosmic Threat, coming together in one truely epic album straight from the astral echo chamber.

Jammed over various sessions in an empty Leipzig club during lockdown, Kiki Hitomi, disrupt and bass clarinet black belt Volker Hemken (from Gewandhausorchester Leipzig) are keeping the track structures in constant warp mode, psychically locking in with the machines and freely exploring all the sonic territory inbetween Sun Ra and Prince Jammy.

This highly hypnotic spiritual sequel to Kiki Hitomi’s ‘Karma No Kusari‘ (2016) comes on red vinyl and with hand-painted artwork by Ellen G.

‘Cosmic Threads’ was commissioned by Gewandhaus zu Leipzig as part of ‘Two Play To Play’. ‘Two Play To Play‘ was designed by Karen Laube and Matthias Krähenbiel and is produced and presented by Gewandhaus zu Leipzig. Vinyl funded by GvL Neustart.

Probably the very first proper Jahtari tracks ever made, those two raw gems from a Net-7″ from 2004 are finally appearing on vinyl through Turtle Isle Records.

Two really cool Rootah and disrupt lofi jams on some Wackies riddims (probably), with a cracked Ableton Live… Lots of love for this one.

Sonic Fiction tape by disrupt on Zonedog, giving nods to tales like Fallout, Wasteland or Mad Max.

Gritty loops and eroded synth-scapes tell the story of a trip across a world without water: a journey through parched and wind-swept lands, dried-out riverbeds, past vast garbage dumps, following the hydrogen fuel veins across the Big White, in search for that crucial part to fix your communities’ water pump: ‘The Water Chip’.

Each tape comes with hand-painted cover art by Ltd. Candy, each with a unique color scheme – photos can’t fully capture it.

Only 77 tapes for the world! Don’t sleep or you’ll weep!

‘…lost contact with scientist team looking into the energy signature on Psylos Prime. Just entered orbit, on my way to investig… SYSTEM ERROR—‘

Last words from seasoned psychonaut Disrupt, and the beginning of ‘Under Triple Suns’, a gripping SonicFiction paperback novel, cut to holo-disk for the very first time.

Dubbed-out loop clusters, foggy melody nebulas and hazy layers of alien field recordings are held together by otherworldly off-the-grid rhythms, shaping the experience into an highly immersive sonic tale of crash-landing on a mysterious planet.

Out on the Jahtari-sublabel Zonedog the album follows the trail of previous space exploration endaevours like ‘Omega Station‘ and ‘The Recreation Room‘. Coming with beautiful vintage-SciFi water color artwork by Ellen G.

“Meanwhile Deep Beneath the Island”

ADD TAPE TO CART
DIGITAL (free download!)

Nerdcore Dub versions from ‘The Secret of Monkey Island I & II’ adventure game soundtracks (1990 / 91), the forgotten Voodoo-Reggae classics from the floppy disc age.

The original game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land, in all their uncanny 16bit-Soundblaster FM-synth glory, were a massive influence for Jahtari (weird computer game reggae!) – but could those soothing and somewhat wimpy tracks be translated into a Heavyweight Dub context, something that might work on a sound system?

Well, here are our attempts from around 2005 / 06: Meanwhile Deep Beneath the Island. Sixteen haunting tracks, optimized for guzzling grog, by Gamle Harlev Orchestra & Bo Marley, John Frum, Volfoniq and disrupt. Finished cuts, various dubs and plain demos, raised from the Undead, just for the torment of your ears!

OG artwork by Kristian Nordentoft. Available as FREE download on Bandcamp – and as limited tape run with alternate ‘Head of the Navigator’ cover!

release date: 02.11.2020
12″ vinyl, no digital

ADD VINYL TO CART

Super heavy keta-dub 12″ by Namahage, DJ ScotchEgg‘s mysterious little side project on Zonedog.

‘Waku Waku Doom’ on A is a true low end epic. Hazy vocal scraps are flying over vast fx landscapes and percussion loops, all moving in lava lamp speed – until the track properly twists into phase two…

The beatless ‘Bathyscaphe’ on side B goes on a deep sea dive, balancing awe and terror as the submersible slowly descends deeper and deeper into the silent world of immense pressure. Intense journey!

Hand stamped with glow in the dark ink! Strictly limited vinyls, no digital!

Two heavily dub-encrypted data packages by disrupt, retrieved from Jahtari deep storage and transferred to 7″ floppy disk for the very first time.

On side A ‘Chip on Fire’, a 2005 favourite, mutates through it’s dramtic arc with hypnotic bass pressure, exploding psycho-synths and CPU-straining mind bender moments until reaching an intense conclusion.

‘Jojo’s Skank‘, the desperate battle against a merciless metronome on side B, gives a nod to the immortal ‘Monkey Island’ adventure game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land (1990 / 91). For those who know…

Comes with floppy disk artwork and spinning fantascope magic by Ellen G – C:> ECHO not to be missed!

Twelve cosmic library dubs by disrupt, full of synth loops messing with your time perception and sonic textures that feel like passing out on a fluffy carpet, all baked together into one intense couch listening experience.

Thematically this VR-ready sequel to “Omega Station” (2018) is exploring the mechanics behind modern computer game design, and how even things like Karma are being translated into code – but who cares, “The Recreation Room” is made for kicking back while your mind can go into space ship mode.

Distributed by Rush Hour. Only 300 vinyls for the world!

Originally contrived on the streets of London-Hackney, then properly finished off in a Leipzig trailer squat in 2009, this hissing debut EP by Jackson “Tapes” Bailey is spooling low-end goodness in fast forward mode.

Magically clashing 80s digital dancehall (Gold Love Riddim, C20 Riddim), ultra-wonky beats (Hackney Dub, Lowry Dub) and BBC Radiophonic Workshop / Library music vibes (Ticker Tape) this masterpiecce is buzzing with bass-charged Ferrum particles, ready to set off on a journey that will reel your mind.

Limited 10 years anniversary re-issue available HERE!
