For our 55th release we are launching a special series called Dark Entries Editions, dedicated to 12" singles made for the dance floor. The first release in this series is Victrola, the duo of Antonio "Eze" Cuscinà and Carlo Smeriglio from Italy. The band formed in Messina, but later relocated to Florence to join the rich musical scene there with Neon, Pankow, Alexander Robotnick and Diaframma. Beginning as a 4-piece combo (two guitarists, bassist, drummer) in 1979, they slimmed down to a synthesizer and guitar-based duo a few years later.
Their sole release was the "Maritime Tatami"/"A Game Of Despair" EP, from 1983. Using an array of now-classic Roland synthesizers (TR 606, TR 303 Bassline, Juno 6) plus a Korg Polysix and Fender Stratocaster, they crafted two darkwave ballads. "Maritime Tatami" engulfs the listener with trance-inducing synth lines and melancholic vocals over its epic 8 minutes. Oblique minor-key bass lines provide an anchor while snappy, brittle 606 rhythms propel the track along. The lyrics tell the story of Tatami, a boy from a fishing town who yearns for a new life in the big city. "A Game of Despair", on the flipside, is a haunting crawl through the eyes of a woman left by her lover. An angular guitar riff repeats hypnotically, as fragile icy synth lines chime emptily above it.
Each song has been carefully remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in an exact replication of the original jacket, and includes an insert with lyrics and never-before-seen photos. Victrola's only release is a truly singular and timeless masterpiece—it’s from a dimension of its own.

Medical Records continues it’s unearthing of extremely rare singles in it’s Electroconvulsive Therapy series. Once again, teaming up with Crispy Nuggets blog (crispynuggets.blogspot.com), we have assembled yet another collection of long out of print and underground singles and rare tracks. This compilation includes 3 complete A + B sides from 7” singles + 4 other rare songs (2 from cassette, 1 A side of a 7”, and 1 track featured on a rare 80s compilation LP). All original tracks are impossible to find for less than a mint on the collector’s market. The first 2 tracks are by Belgium’s Tipical Me from the Claustrofobian b/w Pope No Hope 7”. These 2 tracks are perfect synth pop in every way. The second artist is UK’s Secession, and we have included their debut 7” released in 1983. Though known for their later more electronic based pop and dance tracks, these two tracks display their earlier dark beginnings with chilling guitars and a more early 4AD aesthetic. Both tracks from the 7” are included. The third artist is France’s Leidenschaft who released one lone 3-song cassette in 1986 with 2 of the tracks featured here. Leidenschaft could loosely be compared to early Clan of Xymox with French cold wave leanings. The 2 cuts are very atmospheric and lovely indeed. Back to the UK, we included the wonderfully minimal A + B sides of the rare 1984 7” by Black Fantasy. Original copies of this single have been selling for insanely high prices these days. 2 more tracks were also included on this compilation which complete the theme nicely. V.U.D. was an Italian outfit who recorded a track entitled “Look!” which was included on the “First Relation” v/a compilation LP released in 1983 on Mask Productions and curated by Lisfrank. Quirky and undeniably catchy, we absolutely adore this track as will everybody who hears it. The last track included on this LP is the A side of the rare 1984 7” by UK’s Almost Alone entitled “Blue City”. Dense and atmospheric synth pop with definite New Romantic tendencies, this track is a perfect closing track for this diverse collection. This collection will certainly appeal to fans of rare minimal synth, early synth pop, or EBM. This compilation allows anyone who has desired to have one or all of these quite expensive tracks on vinyl in the best sound quality possible. Additional mastering by Martin Bowes at the Cage, UK. This compilation and reissue is specially prepared for Record Store Day on high-quality 180gram blue and magenta “half and half” colored vinyl. Limited edition.



Tipical Me "Claustrofobian"

Fast Forward Through the Silence is the second glitch pop/VHS-core beat tape from Yoru, pushing deeper into the world of warped memories, analog emotion, and digital decay. Across 14 glitchy, atmospheric tracks, Yoru weaves a cinematic story of lost connection, buried messages, and distorted moments—told entirely through bitcrushed drums, ambient textures, and corrupted melodies.

Where Please Rewind My Heart was a tape of love and heartbreak, Fast Forward Through the Silence is the part we skipped—blurry scenes, static transitions, and moments we couldn’t face the first time. Each song—from the looping haze of “headcleaner loop” to the emotional collapse of “stop/eject my feelings”—feels like finding a forgotten home video playing on a broken screen. Expect VHS-style artifacts, lo-fi ambience, glitchy melodies, and surreal warmth that hits straight through the static.

Perfect for fans of glitch pop, lo-fi electronica, ambient vaporwave, and retro-futuristic textures, this tape is a dreamlike blend of nostalgia and noise—built for chill nights, headphone deep dives, and emotional background listening.

🎧 Ideal For:
Late-night zoning out

Art sessions or journaling

Sad but soft aesthetic playlists

Soundtracking digital loneliness

Emotional support background music


glitch pop, lo-fi instrumental, vaporwave, vhs-core, ambient glitch, emotional beats, nostalgic synths, broken tape music, experimental lo-fi, chill beats, aesthetic music, Yoru glitch album

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Facit is the project of Joakim Karlsson. For almost a decade, he has been producing tearful synthesizer music under various aliases, often teaming up with compatriot Mai Nestor on vocals. 

Smartly drawing a line between Swedish chanson and minimal synth, ‘Måndag Mon Amour’ is Facit’s second EP after having stopped at Veronica Vasicka’s Cititrax in late 2013 with 'Mat Åt Duvorna' (Food For Pigeons). 

Picture two passengers with paralyzing hemophobia, riding a sad carriage and smiling with tranquil melancholy, endlessly playing early 80s analog gear through some spring reverb. It doesn’t take long to remember « notre amour était dans un igloo » and never forgetting it.

Limited edition of 300 copies, hand-numbered insert included.
Design by Laurène Exposito.

PEINE PERDUE (Coco Gallo/Stephane Argillet) - 2010
excerpt from the album "No Souvenir" (Cold Beats records, 2014)

Les baies vitrées, tournoient
Autour du hall d'entrée
Une parade de Pull-Over
Défile à contre sens
Sur un modèle aléatoire

Assise au Bar Cocktail de l'hôtel
Je classe les fuseaux horaires
Qui nous séparent, par décalages réguliers
Le temps réel n'existe plus

Je penche près de vous, indéfiniment
Je penche près de vous, indéfiniment

Enchaîné de nuits blanches
Un panache noir
Porté par les vents
Visible depuis Londres
Efface les digitales

Un séisme lent
Dont je connais les contours
Nous plonge dans le coma
Circuits, transistors
Inondent l'éther

Catastrophe au ralenti
Explosions télescopiques

Arrachés à une chute certaine
Les complices séparés se pâment
Dans le Story-Board
D'un film perdu

We are honored to present the first vinyl reissue of French legends Martin Dupont’s seminal album from 1987, ‘Hot Paradox’. Martin Dupont was originally founded by Alain Seghir in Marseille in 1980. He enlisted numerous collaborators throughout the years, including Beverley Jane Crew, Brigitte Balian, and Catherine Loy. Martin Dupont was immensely talented with a rare dynamic between its varying members that was likely inspired by a combination of their magnetic personalities, creative vision, and the home studio where they recorded. Their music was colorful, enthusiastic, and delicate, but also melancholy and mysterious. A mixture of hot and cold, light and dark. They created electronic music that incorporated guitars, clarinets, and saxophones and is described by many as New Wave yet truly transcended genres. Aside from having been released as part of ‘The Complete Collection: 1980-1988’ 5-LP box set, the ‘Hot Paradox’ album hasn’t been available on vinyl since 1987. It is one of Martin Dupont’s most exquisite albums, illustrating the band’s mastery of synthesizer work, drum programming, and vocal duets. The album is vibrant and emotive, simultaneously somber and bright, theatrical and danceable. It is an essential album in the French cold wave, new wave, and minimal synth scenes, and in recent years, has finally received the recognition it deserves beyond any musical categorization. The Hot Paradox album reissue is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, is accompanied by the original insert/lyrics sheet, and is housed in a heavy-weight sleeve featuring art by Yves Cheynet. The Hot Paradox LP is now available for pre-order with a release date of October 10th, 2023.
