Ever wonder what its like to travel into another dimension? Squiggle Dot is proud to announce its debut release by amazing Japanese sound-painter Suwa Kazuya. This dynamic tale is rich in every color and flavor. Alien pulses and scattered paint slosh about, calling out to each other from beyond the veil of reality. Subtle dot matrices pop into the fray monetarily just long enough to say hi! For fans of Morton Subotnick and DJWWWW, Mind Map is a new classic of abstract collage!

SD01 - Suwa Kazuya - "Mindmap" (Snippet)

Hailing from Moscow, Russia, P_SH is a multi-disciplinary musician and visual artist. His album "Focus Pocus" was recorded in 2007 and now 6 years later is becoming Squiggle Dot's 3rd release! Utilizing found sound, modular synthesis, dsp effects, and accoustic instruments, P_SH spins playful tapestries reminiscient of domestic life's abstract anamolies. Sputtering sample hold oscillators and highly processed children's giggles weave and splash as ominious guitar recordings trail off into the meta-physical office of the soul. For fans of Markus Popp and Nobukazu Takemura!

SD06 - Sunmoonstar - "Everything is Surface"

If there is anything to be said about Neuronoa's "Curiocity" album, its WOWWWWW!!! With detail so refined, its like staring into the sun. With color so rich and dynamic, your reality is competing and racing with the genius of this music. Electronic rock and gestural sound design are at the speed of light evolving together for a better future, here in this modest package of 5 songs. Could not recommend this album more!
Art as a collaboration between Tristan Whitehill and Art- Genoa, Neuronoa's Tokyo based design firm!

SD09 - Neuronoa "Shizuku"

Squiggle Dot has the extreme pleasure of releasing the self titled record of Human Mirth Tube Unit as our tenth release. With the skill of a top tier sushi chef and the heart full of wonder, this guy is really shredding it. Toys and drum machines are part of the play chest, synths are pinging every direction. The world of intense and dense electronica just got a make over, it looks a hell of a lot more fun

SD10 - Human Mirth Tube Unit "404"

 With a designers touch, and a elegant musical fashion, Japan's Tominaga is a master of feeling. The layers that encapsulate and flourish her Squiggle Dot Debut "Echoes of Megaliths" are the elements of her special view and passion. Mysterious tapestries hide the hidden worlds, its up to the listener to discover what lies beyond these gates. Prepare to bob and weave through the sprawl, the adventure is just begining! Out Feb 30!

SD13 - Tominaga  "Graham"

 With fangs and silky finesse, dok-s project is a visceral soothsayer of elegant noise and modular techno on the Tokyo scene. "Infrastructures" , his new Squiggle Dot record, is like watching a city being built by highly advanced technology. As much as this panders to robot aesthetics, theres so much human and compositional dynamic here that it could only be described as masterful! dok-s project is not to be slept on. Start building with us on March 30th.

SD15 - dok-s project "Under Construction Part 1"

 Mexico has so so many beautiful people and artists and it's such an honor to be able to release the work of prolific composer Turning Torso on Squiggle Dot. This 3 song ep is rich in abstract harmonic qualities and simple rhythms, a total refresher to the musical world's current status. Come swim and bask with us! Out May 30th

SD18 - Turning Torso  "Δ"

Deepest joys come from the deepest of grooves in Squiggle Dot's humble opinion and Portland's Grapefruit has got all the grooves you need. Grapefruit is also incredibly bountiful in elegant synthesis and lush guitar! What a winning combination! Super chill vibes with a dash of mystery, kraut-like compositions evolve in 4d! Grapefruit's bomb album "Tracers" out on May 30th

SD19 - Grapefruit "Tracers"

The internet is a beautiful place when you are curating art! Someone randomly suggested SD should release music by Liam Cloyd's Magic from Space project, and bam! It Happened! Liam is a great friend of the label now, and to kick off our musical love affair, SD commissioned him for a retrospective of his greatest hits because he is ON IT! Cool moves and analog synths gently swell into romantic moments that are sure to touch hearts! Art by Styles Munson

SD21 - Magic From Space "Is What (King Of The Jungle)"

Much like the micro flora that live within us, the music that Kagami Smile provides is rich in diversity.  Samples strewn out across the liquid tension of delayed ambiance is an unreal look at some world that perhaps is very small or very big. Its all very psychedelic to say the least and that's a really good thing! Here's to enjoying this surreal vision of ambient bacteria music with Kagami Smile and Squiggle Dot, Out July 30th. Art by Beefstrong

SD22 - Kagami Smile "CLOUD DRM"

With a childish glee and knack for bouncy melodies, Galen comes in full force to SD with his hot new EP. Im not sure how to pronounce any of the titles as they are all just shapes and there are a few squigglers here and there, but it honestly just matches the music perfectly! Super happy to have Galen on board! Available July 30th! Art by Donnie Frederick and Tristan Whitehill

SD23 - Galen "◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉"

Adventure is ripe in the land that World Cup organizes and shares. Serious craftsmanship that never leaves the beauty of fantasy undone is the main stay of this project. We at the Dot invite you to hop on board this ridiculous journey with us, featuring serious composition MIDI orchestrations, library-esque funk , and low bit ambient puzzles. Imagine something or just bask in the wild ambition of "Quiz Show Kid" by World Cup, available September 30 via Squiggle Dot

SD24 - World Cup "Jump Scene"

In one years time, Squiggle Dot has grown leaps and bounds with the help of friends and amazing artists. Kazuya Suwa's work was initially some of the inspiration for this label. His style is totally unique and with his new effort "Above the Head / World is Echo" he has reached for the stars and supplied some of the most interesting sounds and arrangements we've ever heard. Lasers and squirts illuminate distant pink worlds of elastic physics! Truly an honor once again to host Kazuya Suwa, his new album is out September 30th.

SD25 - Kazuya Suwa "Above The Head / World Is Echo (digest)"

With a light brush technique, Shenqoo is an ensemble who flows together. The drift of rhythm and joyous synths provide a nest for the voice. The morning bird comes to mind as they stretch their arms and look into the bright sun! Their beautiful new EP will be available from Squiggle Dot September 30!

SD26 - Shenqoo "のっぺり"

Elegant hardcore smooth jazz and futuristic magic riddle Boogie Idol's world. His new Ep for Squiggle Dot is equal parts majestic pop and bizarre sound art, featuring close friends voices manipulated and looped into chants! Incredible jams await your bay side adventure on November 30th!

SD27 - Boogie Idol "Ordering Information"

Wow is all we can utter after feeling the force of OAKMILK's scatterings and sculptures! Their magic is in the unique tonalities and organization, always a treat. Not to much unlike OAKMILK is the hyper chaos of toiret status. A million ideas with gaseous trails of variation squirt and writhe with their every release! It is only fitting that these masters of the Squiggle grace us with their passionate tracks! Uncanny vibes from the edge of oblivion await you with their new split on Squiggle Dot!

SD29- OAKMILK "Sumi (toiret Status Remix)"

Musique Chienne is an amazing illustrator in addition to being a clever musician. This is important because with a little visual support, an artists musical/animated world becomes palatable. I get lots of visions of dogs at dinner tables being suprisingly patient and polite. Theres some sort of multicolored breeze out side aswell. "Cartoon" their new album will be available the end of January.

SD30 - Musique Chienne "Patte Douce"

Portland's Soul Ipsum is a high class lounger. These 5 tunes show a trajectory of lush and comforting movements with intention and restriction. In some ways it feels in debt to the ambient trance side of techno but never in a sterile manner , just that lovely sense of someone who wants you to sway with them and drift into the night. Club Sway EP available January 28th.

SD31 - Soul Ipsum "Skullcap"

With every cute sound moving at its max velocity, they start to become rather deadly. This notion is intriguing because obviously the comedic idea of a soft creature being some how dangerous, but also the fact that we should give the purveyors of cartoon like styles the same muscle and credit that we give those solely interested in the "dark" arts. This little light speed package of intense saccharine audio blades will get with you Jan. 28.

SD32- Cute Rori "｡｡｡Serotonin Smile｡｡｡"

Deploying only the finest modular synthesis and poetic waves, Fitz Ellarald is an incredible artist to be remembered. From Russia, they spin long elegant stories with a soft fuzz reminiscent of eras gone past. For the loveliest of soothing ambient fantasy, come bask in the clouds with Fitz Ellarald

SD34 - Fitz Ellarald "01 My Psychic Changes The Shape Of A Cloud Turning It Into A Square" (SNIPPET)

Swing is a particular notion that involves spaces between beats. With this definition I would like to stretch it all the way and say that even random occurrences that are musical are basically just extreme swing. Jap Kasai is really good with swing. Every element is promenading to its own clock and we are seeing the jumble come to life, or better yet the jumble mirrors our own worlds life.

SD35 - Jap Kasai "Daff'n'da"

"This world was solid, she was sure of it, and yet she knew it too would join with here and there, and somewhere and nowhere, surrendering to elsewhere. In fact, it had already started to happen. She felt them here, and they were growing stronger. Soon E herself would recede into the mixture of elsewhere." - E. Mezuxie

SD36 - E. Mezuxie  "Fantasy (out there)"  [PREVIEW]

With a gentle touch and a fun sensibility, Magic From Space is a delight to witnessed by all! Elegant guitar and analog synths dance around vintage drum machines in the most endearing way. This record is a true testament to the unbridled love for music that Magic From Space lives everyday and we at Squiggle Dot offer a hand to all of our friends and invite you to come hang with this "bird themed" instrumental fantasy!

SD37 - Magic From Space "Herbert Ernest Sherbert (riding Rainbow)"

Hot and frothy, squelching on rust laden metal. Distorted talking drums lop and hint. Q. Ethr's "Lint" is a brief look into a producer with a unique vision who is only becoming more accomplished and impressive. Mild and introspective Casio sketches outline the fields where Raymond Scott sound weapons are tested and Q. Ethr is in fact shredding the ether there. We are honored at SD to share "Lint".

SD38 - Q. Ethr "Warp It Out"

When he's not hustling vitamins in the cosmos, Faux Tao is bench pressing tiny machines and its beautiful to hear. The little buds are into this, you can tell by the way they chirp out thick jams. SD presents this as a commemorative set of .wavs. Gym ready , tiny bot approved.

SD39 - Faux Tao "Excite"

Arrangement of argumentative slop! The worlds most ambient and comical basketball game. In other word/worlds better know as an anthropomorphic sphere who needs to finish it's to-do list. Invisible people are stealing your thoughts.  Become one with the etymology, become indulgent in the slop. Slop available at SD.

SD40- Blank Thomas "Invisible Criminal"

This is one of the nicest things we have ever released. Metamora is a really swell person in Boston MA who makes elegant new age ambient. Gorgeous vibrations and an infinite length (seemingly). I feel super guilty with a tease but you know how these things work! WINK! xo

SD41 - Meta Mora "One Hundred Story Elevator" (SNIP)

In a complex attempt to negate nostalgic reference in their music and embody the trans-humanist leanings of musical production, Harsh Radish is a blue ribbon holder. These pop tunes employ earnest rock elements, kind vocals, thought provoking lyrics, and intense audio wizardry for a bright 2018 start. Lets gather round to listen and bob!

SD42 - Harsh Radish "Pure Language"

Maximalist gesture development. Advantageous ripple provocateur. Creature deployment oscilloscope. Squiggle Dot warrior of the new meat scape wanderings approaches the arena. Prepare for fizz.

SD43 - 3078992070 "Congragulator"

Magic from Space and Dok-s Project have voltron-ed into a new form. This new body of work is so mean and exciting that it gives pretty big goose bumps that morph into alien flesh over extended exposure. Some other words that describe the radio-active thunder of this music could be..."omg" "wow" "hey listen to this" "help, 2 good". Try it, its fun <3

SD44 - Magic Dok-s Space Project "Hyper"

An international label curated by @Euglossine, focusing on abstract, playful, harmonic, and genre-less music.
