minimal wave

Minimal Wave is proud to present a 6 song EP by the UK/US duo Sandra Electronics. Originally formed as Sandra Plays Electronics by Karl O’Connor in 1988, the project has evolved over the years to become a collaborative endeavor with Juan Mendez (aka Silent Servant). Three of the tracks were first released as an Untitled 10” on Downwards in 2010, and the record quickly sold out. Those songs have been re-edited and remastered for this EP, and three more rare demos and live versions have been added. The songs can be described as hypnotic industrial electronic mantras with enigmatic keyboards and treated vocals. Each track draws the listener in, with its repetitive psychedelic percussion and dark affected vocal. The record is a hand-numbered edition of 999 copies pressed on 180 gram ultra clear vinyl, and housed in a high quality heavy weight printed sleeve featuring a vintage photograph of Samia Gamal. Release date: April 30th, 2014, with special signed copies available for sale on May 10th at the Brookyln Flea RBMA Record Fair. Sandra Electronics will be doing an exclusive DJ set and record signing that day.

Sandra Electronics - Protection Now (Demo)

Minimal Wave is proud to present a reissue of the seminal first album from Swiss Wavers, Guyer’s Connection. Tibor Csébits and Philippe Alioth formed Guyer’‘s Connection in Basel, Switzerland when they were only 14 and 15 years old. At the time they were in a new wave rock band called “Kurtzschluss” which they decided to break from in order to make purely electronic music. They began with two synthesizers, a drum machine, a 4-track tape recorder and a multitude of ideas. They channeled their unique and humorous vision into their first album, entitled Portrait which they produced themselves and self-released in 1983. Over the years, the album became a highly sought after minimal synth cult classic. It stands alone as one of the strongest examples of Swiss Minimal Wave, and probably the only one that is in Baseldytsch. The Portrait reissue is presented in a high quality gloss sleeve, with artwork to match their original sleeve design from 1983. The record features newly remastered audio pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, as a hand-numbered edition of 999. Release date: September 16th, 2014.

Fred Berthet - Waiter

For the first time, Endrik Schroeder and The Hacker have joined forces. Their unique sounds and styles have combined seamlessly to produce a 12” that draws on their own musical histories. The title track pulls the listener into a darkened sweaty basement, a space where neon lights leer and quivering speakers vibrate. Melting elements of new beat and rave revelry, the track is bawdy and bold. Robotic samples cut through siren blasts, clean snare rolls skidding in thick basslines and creamy breaks. Two remixes follow, both care of fellow French producer: Back From The Wave. First up is the “Breaky Remix”. Adhering to the club origins of the source material, this remake sends melodies ever higher as drums lift elated lines to the stern refrain of “Emergency”. The “Indie Remix” closes. The glowsticks are sheathed in this version, instead it is the soaring keys that are given the limelight with beats bolstered for extra bite. Three tracks set to delight and ignite dancefloors.



Endrik Schroeder & The Hacker - The Emergency [Bordello A Parigi]

Nantes-based artist Gisèle Kérozen debuts on Kyma Komplex with "Electric Equinox," an EP that functions as a coded transmission from the heart of a spontaneous creative surge. It captures the moment where a deeply personal impulse is processed and galvanised into a structured electric current. The EP feels like a live wire – insulation stripped away to reveal the raw, flickering core of improvisation, honed just enough in the studio to focus its wild energy. Through layered synths and driving percussion, it builds a resonant, cavernous space that bypasses cerebral analysis to trigger a direct, instinctual movement in the audience.

Premiered here, "What if The Clash Played Funk?" isn't just a track title; it's a genuine, delightful musical proposition that Gisèle answers with chaotic glee. He throws a Molotov cocktail of scratchy, punk-inflected guitar riffs and confrontational vocals straight into a swirling galaxy of cosmic funk. The result is a rebellious, low-end groove that somehow makes perfect sense – as if Mick Jones traded his amp for a phaser pedal and decided to start a dance party at the end of the world. It’s a punky, funk-fueled thought experiment that proves some clashes are meant to get you moving.

Parvale - Flashback

Violet Poison returns to KRI with a full-scale assault of warped electro, mutant EBM and haunting wave. After previously appearing as a remixer and EP collaborator, Francesco Baudazzi expands his earlier contributions into a full-statement solo record that stretches from sub-zero electro programming to early-90s synthetic nostalgia and 80s romanticism.

A diverse record by the veteran Italian producer is completed with remixes from Slow Motion affiliate Karolina BNV and long-standing KRI comrade Dj Nephil.

Limited vinyl and digital will be released on Friday, 19th of December 2025.

Silver Bear Recordings proudly welcomes Kilig back to the label with his new single, ‘It’s Trying To Be Light, But It’s So Dark’ releasing 10th December. After first joining the roster with his breakthrough Blue Coat, Red Dress EP, the London-based producer returns to the imprint that helped set the tone for his early trajectory, bringing with him a deepened, more introspective evolution of the sound he debuted on Silver Bear.

Kilig has long been recognised for weaving industrial textures, minimal frameworks and ambient sonics into a distinctly modern interpretation of London’s electronic landscape. His work has earned support from Ben UFO, Call Super, Saoirse, Batu, Overmono, Midland and consistent radio play across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, NTS, and a global network of specialist stations. His music continues to resonate widely on streaming platforms as well, with standout editorial placements across Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Music.

The single drifts between delicate atmospheres and subtly shifting rhythms, echoing the palette that first introduced him to the label while pushing further into the trip-hop and ambient influences he’s recently embraced. Speaking on the new release, Kilig shares:

“Around this time of year my mornings are everything. It's the only daylight I properly get to enjoy. Days seem to eat themselves, and by 3pm, we're in darkness again. I get that winter is for clubs, but for me I'm hunting something to wind down to. 'Its Trying To Be Light, But It's So Dark' encapsulates that feeling. This time of year I’m drawn to more trip hop and ambient music; lots of super delicate vocals and organic sounds. Best served with a big hot chocolate and double dose of marshmellows xx”

The single stands as both a homecoming and an expansion, an artist returning to a label that helped define his early sound, now equipped with a matured, more spacious sonic identity shaped by years of creative exploration.

From time to time Fortunea Records gives us the chance to highlight and welcome new faces. And this one is Petals In Sound!

Louise Baldwin is a UK-based producer and DJ. After over a decade of living, working and partying in South East London, she relocated to Crosby in Liverpool. Following a number of years experimenting with music production, she finally found her groove during the 2020 Covid lockdown. In October 2020, she released under her moniker the well-received debut EP 'Palace’ on Boyanza Records, gaining support from the likes of NTS Radio and the Sloth Boogie Radio Show. Many releases on labels such as Closer To Truth, Dirt Crew and Inhale Exhale followed.

Louise playfully attacks the fabric of deep house, pushing and pulling the genre into modern territory with clever and precise production techniques. And now she will release her first vinyl record on the Austrian imprint. The ‚Days‘ EP includes 4 original tracks and a remix by the Vienna-based dj and producer Dzc.. Hypnotic rhythms and well crafted deepness defines this record.

Petals In Sound’s ‚Days’ EP will come out on december 19th. All tracks have been mastered by Patrick Pulsinger. The vinyl is limited to 200 copies and there will be no repress!

PREMIERE : Petals In Sound - Purpose

Adriatic legend Verdo is back! After years of near-silent brilliance, he bursts into 2026 with his debut album GRATIS CLUB, a love letter to the now-closed club he ran in Senigallia. Before the album drops, Hell Yeah unleashes a first taste: the electrifying single ‘Let In The Light’, and it comes with a killer Fango remix.

This track is pure Italo disco adrenaline: shimmering arps soar over lush chords and retro analogue drums, igniting the dancefloor. Fango flips it into a spacious, low-slung groove packed with funky bass and circling synths that hypnotise from first beat to last.

A dazzling appetiser before the main event hits next year.

Olsvangèr - Suma Lie (K - Effect Remix)

Minimal Wave is proud to present a second 12” single from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. This one is in the same vein as the Dust Under Brightness / Highway Dark Veins 12” we released last May. The single features an epic, pioneering, late 80s underwater techno masterpiece called La Piscine (1989) accompanied by a slow, dark, drugged out 15 minute number on the flip side entitled Calling Somewhere (1990) – which sounds especially relevant today. Neither of these tracks have ever been released before. The pressing is limited to 999 copies, the first 500 are pressed on 160 gram clear highlighter yellow vinyl, accompanied by a hand-numbered matte printed sleeve.
