A powerful jam burner -identical of the recent Wham Jah shows- divided into four chapters. Free-form instant song-making drowned in a noise/jazz reverb valley full of zombie ravers. Prequel to the forthcoming full-length and the split LP w/ Balinese Beast. Stream the entire disc below!
Edition of 100 copies w/ xerox artwork.

Three Putsum live performances which took place between late 2011 and early 2012. He proved that Vlad Tepes Dracula was a vegetarian using a caustic reference to reality TV, shouted that Black Metal is not a caucasian-male exclusive benefit, and ressurrected Christ to a fucking zombie, which is something more rational, by the way. The Putsum performances stand between conceptual art, arte povera and punk actionism but the music itself has something else: the unique blended sequence of a madman's mind. You might not get the whole picture, but you are surely getting another view of this great project!
Tour only cassette, in an edition of 65 copies w/ screenprinted fold-out j-cards. Limited stock, catch Putsum on the road w/ Bazooka and Gay Anniversary all over Europe this May. Tour dates here.

An hour-long definite "Angels..." collection consisted of live action, outtakes and other experiments. "Greecings Caesar" might be the best introduction, if you're not familiar w/ the dark, mystagogic saga of these youngster's duo but be sure to check all the other recordings of them at FMA. Every single release (tapes on Ecstatic Peace!, Digitalis and Night People, LP on Ehse Records plus a split tape w/ Weyes Blood on Northern Spy) is somewhat perfect! Merv Glisten and Moppy Pont serve sentimental harshness at its best.
Edition of 100 tapes w/ on-body printing and screenprinted j-cards.

Killer debut full-length from Thessaloniki based boy/girl duo w/ 60 minutes of material, 33 songs entirely based on samples! Sounds of despair, eastern promises, kookoo audio haikus and underground electronica all mash up together w/ a really fresh and unique blend aesthetic.
Edition of 80 copies w/ handmade heavyweight digipacks housed in cloth spine and spraypainted discs.

They have already gained a critical acclaim in the (way deep) underground and we can surely say they will eventually make a fan club soon. The very first recordings of To Dio Evro (a.k.a. Horistra in vocals / chant / prose and Paranychis in musical accompaniment), the enigmatic transexual lo-fi power duo are presented here under the title "Kingdom of the Fat". This is where they all started!
Edition of 50 copies w/ stamped / handwritten discs by Paranychis.

BETTY LOOP LOOP / ANGELOS KYRIOU / KTIRIA TI NYXTA - Split 2xCS

This double cassette set surely is an original early 10's Athens' artefact. Two solo projects, Angelos Kyriou & Ktriria ti Nyxta (Buildings at Night), completely diffrent from what we've heard till the negative urban space has thrown them up, they redefined music with greek lyrics. Angelos' side offers a typical example of his spastic, obsessed, sincere miniature song-marathon collage while Ktiria delivers a thunderstorm cut-up of -sometimes bootleg- recordings of friends' conversations blended w/ the signature hi-pitch electronic mayhem. The two 5-minute sides sound like a dream radio station. The one we've all wished to exist, the one we're pretty sure will never happen.
Betty Loop Loop takes all over the second 36-minute tape and all of her gig highlights are present with further more self-exploration / experimentation. She's nothing more than the two above mentioned guys together. Literally. She's more than just beautiful...

A stunning new album including 5 long jams (23 minutes each side) which balance perfectly between the homey "Strange Maine" sound, the collage aesthetic of "The Grove" and the extraordinary singer/songwriter approach as heard on "Dead Songs". If it wasn't released by Phase!, it would certainly top a position in the 2011 TOP-13 albums!
Comes in an edition of 350 copies w/ 2-color awesome screenprinted jacket + insert.

“DJ mistakes are two exercise bicycle driven turntables fabricated and ridden by Casey Farnum and Elliot Hess. This project re-introduces spontaneity into the DJ experience and asks how production and industry have assembled to create a listening experience quite different from the hand-cranked turntables it was initially borne from. With a shrug to the practice of crystallizing performances and their reception through vinyl and the audiophile entertainment- center this project re-introduces human touch into the listening experience. It looks back nostalgically to a time when gears and bicycles were the stuff of aural and physical revolutions. Yet it also seeks a contemporary framework in the DJ era where cutting and mixing revolutionized production making it both unpredictable and live. Bikes, turntables, gongs, a mixer, records, and a microphone all mash in this recording live from the Chicken Hut and 1086 Broadway, Brooklyn NY 2006-7.” Phil Schapp, 2011
Limited numbered edition of 200 copies on 1-sided 12”LP, offset covers on metallic paper + inners.

Here's a wicked DJ Mistakes performance at the University of Iowa:

And here's another one from WFMU:

Slicing Grandpa. No fucking joke. They're ripping it harder than anyone else. One of the favorite bands on the house. Garbage grunge collage abstractness at its lo-fiest, away from every trend, away from any hip. They're not old-fashioned, they're slicing-fashioned. Buy at your own risk...
Edition of 60 copies w/ screenprinted covers.

Lens traveling through inner depths of transatlantic mirrorings. Light is never enough to clearly get the whole picture. On two homogeneous sides, two blindfolded cinematic enigmas are the only clue. Dig Sherlock, dig!
Edition of 65 copies w/ screenprinted covers.

Debut cassette release of this new hardcore punk / no drums quartet featuring members of Bazooka. Raw, intense and in your face. On Feta Face Records.

Dead Gum is the solo project of Panagiotis Spoulos (other projects of his include: Reverse mouth, Wham Jah, Postblue, and running Phase! Records), from Athens, Greece. This past summer we toured with Dead Gum in Greece and we were blown away every night. Doubleganger is quite a journey, the constant thread seems to be loner style electric guitar that feels like the end of it all … quite, desolate, brutal, noisy, and 100% sincere. Handmade screen printed Art work by Colleen Kinsella (10 songs – 38 minutes)

Much anticipated proper full length release from this wonderful maine duo after a long running string of self released cdrs & a collaborative 7inch with visitations. colleen kinsella & caleb mulkerin have been key personages of the portland / south portland sonic underground for over a decade, as members of cerberus shoal, threads, fire on fire, etc. while those groups have no doubt left an impressive body of sound, the intimacy and directness of their big blood recordings take things to a higher plane of personal expression, freed from the group mind / “serious” band trapping of their past musical outlets. here they are free to romp in their personal microverse, following whim & fantasy through the gates of acoustic transcendence. all of the off-the-cuff spontaneity, intimate home fidelity, and deep personal charms of their older releases are as present as ever, but the the duo’s scope is now focused to a crystalline clarity of vision. dead songs is as sorrowful & joyful in its mirrored symmetry as the infinite life cycle itself, flowing on cleansing waves of inner release & spirit absorption… wailing fuzzed-up garage folk anthems mesh into twisted poetic acidfolk and drift to expansive melancholic meditations of boundless depth. two voices howl, swoon, alternate & join, lyrical layers peel away endlessly, tiny amps weep in pain, crude percussion booms thunderous, and ragged, beautiful hooks unfurl straight out of the void… packaged in an identical mini-lp style gatefold cover with clear varnish overprinting & offset printed vellum insert. first pressing of 1000 copies.

A documentation of the Festival that took place at 22-23/10/10 in Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.?.?). Two days dedicated to electronic sound improvisation.
