Robert Farrugia - Variations

Radio Mnemosyne

Proxima Centauri

Dronny Darko & Ugasanie join forces once more for the long awaited follow up to their previous album Arctic Gates.

"Deep beneath the ice a disturbing past sleeps, unaware of the tiny human footsteps outside its crystalline bed chamber. The waves high above the chasms frost ceiling recede to subdued noise as the expedition moves further down into the abyss. The research equipment starts giving out sharp bleeping sounds as they move into a magnetic field, and on the other sound of the ice wall something stirs in response"

Recommended for fans of multi-layered sound design and dark arctic drone

Presence

In February of 2022, as Storm Eunice worked its way across the UK, two people, namely Greig Baird and his partner Susie Baird set out for a rare weekend away on the North Coast of Devon. The weather was rough, but life affirming. The North Devon coast spectacular and dramatic; made more so by the waning storm.

This collection is a set of sonified memories; moments in a particular location at a particular time. A creative recalling. A set of sound postcards if you will.

For Susie. As always, thank you. I love you.

Special thank you to Uma Baird.

Thank you to Brad Deschamps and Polar Seas Recordings.

Also a big thank you to James Bernard.

A Shared Place

No Words Needed

'No Words Needed' - A Shared Place - [Polar Seas Recordings, 2023]

Cities Last Broadcast, the Swedish expert of paranormal electronics and Fractalyst, the Greek specialist of technical soundscapes, has created an equally disturbing and fascinating album of the finest dark ambient.

Phantasmora is an album about feverish madness, séances gone wrong and about grandma singing in many tongues as reality crumbles.

Recommended for fans of séances trapped in endless tape loops and ghostly transmissions through analog noise

Calm Pieces is a València-based musician named Rafa Ramos Sania, who has a background in Jazz, Experimental, and Ambient music. He has collaborated with different artists and has previously released music on labels like Cuneiform Records and Archives. Some may recall Rafa’s collaboration with Edu Comelles for the 2022 Whitelabrecs album ‘de camp’ as well as double bass contributions on Edu’s 2020 album Línia Pedra Paisatge Solc. Rafa was a double bass player for the jazz trio Naima and his journey as a musician began in his teens with electric bass, followed by explorations in guitar, piano, and music production. As Calm Pieces, Rafa distils his work into softer, more ambient compositions, creating a sound that is both intimate and enigmatic.

Singles' is Calm Pieces' debut album, characterised by a serene and introspective sound, crafted through a blend of modern and traditional techniques. Rafa recorded acoustic instruments such as double bass, cello, classical guitar, and acoustic slide guitar, blending them with a digital sound palette into dynamic and textural cinematic soundscapes. Each track conveys a sense of calm and expressiveness, with melodies emerging naturally from improvisation. The album marks Rafa’s first solo physical release on a label, and Whitelabrecs is honored to share this evocative, minimalist journey with the world.

Divertissement is the third collaborative full length from minimalist composer William Basinski and sound artist Richard Chartier.

The duo utilize electronics, piano, tape-loops and short wave radio to evoke a dense atmosphere suggesting hundreds of years of history rising up from the depths of a reverberating cathedral. Subtle, buried and intense murmurs of melody morph through this deeply consuming and slowly evolving composition in two parts.

Pressed in an edition of 500 with beautiful cover drawings by artist James Elaine. 100 copies are on color vinyl for mailorder customers.
