Michael J. Blood

Cause & Effect Vol. 1

via Beethobear Records View post →

Mystery Manchester producer Michael J. Blood, whose cassettes (pressed in runs of just 80–300) sold out instantly and command wild resale prices. This set issues 12 cassette-only rarities on vinyl for the first time, blurring house, techno, broken beat and jazz-electronics in a sweaty Manchester-underground haze. 2LP on Peacefrog.

Pete Doherty — Grace/Wastelands

Pete Doherty

Grace/Wastelands

High Rise — My Baby's Gone
Boogie / Soul 1985

High Rise

My Baby's Gone

A rare gem from Scottish diggers Athens Of The North — a vinyl reissue of this 1985 obscurity by High Rise, a cult act from mid-80s Chicago's boogie/soul scene. Syrupy basslines and whispered floating vocals conjure an analog-era intimacy that uncannily echoes Men I Trust.

VIDEOTAPEMUSIC — NOISE FACE LANDSCAPE
Electronic / Ambient / Exotica 2026

VIDEOTAPEMUSIC

NOISE FACE LANDSCAPE

Perhaps VIDEOTAPEMUSIC's most beguiling release yet. One of Tokyo's most gifted underground producers, he resamples old Japanese and Asian VHS salvaged from shuttered video stores — here inspired by 90s home footage of a trip through China — weaving local music, scenery and a cameraman's monologue into a kaleidoscopic pan-Asian soundscape.
