KOMPULS is the solo project of tim kniep, best known as one half of the industrial duo synapscape. a longtime figure in the german electronic music scene, kniep is recognized for his intense vocal delivery, complex rhythmic structures, and innovative sound design.
‘interaltro’, the debut album by KOMPULS, is an intricate fusion of depth and complexity, where rhythmic noise provides a dynamic foundation. the relentless pulse serves as a canvas for eclectic sonic threads, capturing the spirit of the times with subtlety and nuance.
balancing raw intensity with refinement, the album ventures into experimental territory, propelled by broken beats and technoid influences that create a surreal auditory experience. kniep’s sound design intertwines electronic, idm and glitch, creating a constantly shifting klangteppich – a sound carpet – where timbres evolve and fragment in perpetual motion.
ultimately, ‘interaltro’ stands as a cohesive artistic statement, inviting the listener into a layered exploration of structure and fragmentation, where sound unfolds with intellectual rigor and unpredictability.

Label Description: OCCD67 IRM – Triptych 3CD
Triptych brings together the celebrated post-industrial act IRM’s last conceptual studio recordings as one unity for the very first time. Being a duo, consisting of Martin Bladh and Erik Jarl, since the start in 1998, the EP Indications of Nigredo (2007), was the first record to introduce Mikael Oretoft as a third permanent member. With this recording and its follow-up, the band’s fourth full-length album ORDER⁴ (2010), IRM sought to push the envelope and move away from their early industrial/power-electronics beginnings by introducing new, radical track structures and a wide variety of instruments and sound sources. When the band’s swansong, the fifth full-length album and the third part of the trilogy, Closure…, was released in 2014, IRM felt that they had moved too far from their early roots and would never be able to evolve beyond the material without burying the moniker for good. The nameless voice which leads us through these three records is locked within a philosophical discourse, oscillating somewhere between the inevitability of Freud’s Death Drive and Bataille’s negative mysticism as Inner Experience. By inventing a corporeal language of self-negation, the protagonist is strongly determined to leave a terminal impression on the world by transgressing every possible and impossible frontier. By reaching for this black light, he seeks to get marked and immortalised in the same way as the biblical figure Onan, who Yahweh slew for his impure offence(sic). This is a work which doesn’t concern itself with catharsis, spiritual gold, or finding the Philosopher’s Stone. It remains firmly stuck in the mud, and it never had the intention of elevating itself above it.
Packaged in a limited gloss-laminated 6-Panel Digisleeve. The special edition is accompanied by an A5 30-page brochure and an A3 poster based on Karolina Urbaniak’s original artwork.

Label Description:
their musical approach combines analog loops, diverse vocal inserts, and synthetic arrangements, blending ’70s and ’80s synth-electro aesthetics with modern production techniques. this unique amalgamation results in a raw yet refined auditory experience, where abrasive electronic textures intertwine with complex vocal arrangements.
DERMA’s lyrics, delivered in italian through singing and declamation, explore introspective decadence and everyday science fiction. drawing inspiration from krautrock, ebm, and cold wave, their music creates a nostalgic yet forward-thinking soundscape that appeals to both retro enthusiasts and contemporary audiences seeking a darker, more cerebral dance music experience.
their compositions serve as sonic time capsules, echoing the past while envisioning the future, with sharp, icy melodies set to danceable rhythms.

Label Description: for this, their fourth release, the duo of ANATOLY GRINBERG and MARK SPYBEY continue to carefully straddle the blurred lines between electronic and acoustic music and on a more personal level, the difficulties imposed by the political landscape and climate that separates and divides nations and people. friends, united in a common language. to create art.
Label Description: OvO and Mai Mai Mai, two essential figures of the Italian experimental underground, join forces for an exceptional split album. These artists have continuously pushed the boundaries of musical genres, exploring extreme and uncharted sonic territories.
Formed in 2000, OvO is a noise rock duo consisting of Stefania Pedretti (guitar, vocals) and Bruno Dorella (drums). Their music—both tribal and apocalyptic—is a relentless sonic assault, an audacious fusion of noise rock, sludge metal, industrial rock, and avant-doom. Renowned for their intense live performances and strong DIY ethos, OvO remains a unique force in extreme music.
Mai Mai Mai is the project of Toni Cutrone, a Rome-based musician and sound explorer. Blending traditional Southern Italian folklore with industrial drone, proto-techno, and heavy sonic textures, Mai Mai Mai crafts immersive performances that transport audiences into a ritualistic exploration of ancestral sounds.
After making a strong impression at Roadburn Festival 2023, OvO and Mai Mai Mai now unite for a one-of-a-kind split vinyl, merging their singular sonic worlds. On Side A, OvO unleashes four new tracks, raw and abrasive, pushing the limits of their chaotic and untamed noise rock. On Side B, Mai Mai Mai delves into experimental and electroacoustic realms, weaving an immersive and dense atmosphere filled with ritualistic sounds and electronic manipulations.
The visual identity of the release is enhanced by a striking cover artwork by tattoo artist Arthur Tête de Mouton, perfectly complementing the explosive encounter between these two visionary forces.
