We have new music out today! Lush and exciting, rich and vibrant, the modern masters of exotica - Ìxtahuele’s new album "Pathways to Paradise! is finally here. Available on curious yellow or black vinyl limited editions as well as CD’s and streaming everywhere. Guiding your mind's eye over oceans and mountains, through jungle and desert, teasing and enticing your ears with layered soundscapes and catchy melodies, you'll find yourself whistling along on a winding mountain road, stalking through the rainforest, or humming lazily on a tropical beach. Building on their previous releases, both musically and thematically, the group flirts with jazz, mambo, and space age pop, all the while retaining their classic acoustic exotica sound and a high level of musicianship. This is music to lounge by the pool to, to armchair travel, to share a cocktail with a lover or a friend or to imbibe sacred libation in the rumpus room or Tiki bar. It's exotica for the modern age!

We have new music out today! Ìxtahuele’s smoking “The Ho**ah Parlor”.

Through the din of the souq, tucked in by the old casbah wall, behind a worn old door, a dimly lit cellar beckons. Rich rugs are piled thick in the tiled alcoves where people lounge around low tables, clouds of fragrant smoke rising towards the ceiling. Welcome friend, what’s your pleasure?

We have new music out today! Ìxtahuele’s exciting “Places” from their forthcoming album “Pathways to Paradise. Check it out @ Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music ….or where ever you like to listen.

PLACES - From Córdoba to Rabat, gliding along the coastline. Refueling in Marrakech, then up over the Atlas Mountains and across the desert towards Aïn Salah. Soaring through the air as golden red dunes stretch from horizon to horizon. Below, the mountain villages, oases, caves and rock formations - so many places, unnamed and half forgotten, like so many grains of sand.

KVARTETTEN SOM SPRÄNGDE – Kattvals - Finally available again – in a special psychedelic splatter vinyl limited edition of 600 copies worldwide from Subliminal Sounds! Pre order now! A re-release of one of the most beautiful and sought after psych rock, progressive pre-jazz rock instrumental albums ever recorded in Sweden. Originally released during the summer of 1973 by the obscure Gump label. Powered by a C-3 organ, Ludwig kit and 50-watt Marshall head with a home-built cabinet, this skilled 3-piece (not a quartet) absolutely soars and blast away heavenly. The delicate use of the studio echo-chamber lends a magical, gossamer reverb to the whole sound. Includes a 4-page insert with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Reine Fiske (Dungen). Release date April 19, 2024.

Kano‘s Runes, originally released in 1986 as an obscure cassette only. A unique, dark and sparse, tribal, minimal synth, drone, trance, new age recording from the mysterious Kano. First ever vinyl reissue from Subliminal Sounds. A few copies still available. Runes is much darker and brooding compared to its new age peers of the era. Drums, metallophone, synths, and more leads you on a deep inwards trip via damp, cold and foggy caves to the ancients. Runes is an extraordinary musical experience. Kano, described as “a trance musician from Colorado” on the original release, was Don Campbell in real life and the Runes cassette was eventually issued under his name too. Born in 1946 in San Antonio, Texas, Don Campbell studied classical music with the legendary Nadia Boulanger and Jean Casadesus at the Fontainebleau Conservatory in France. A graduate of the University of North Texas, he began his professional career as a music critic and teacher for seven years at St. Mary’s International School in Tokyo. Campbell’s interest in sound, healing and education have taken him to over forty countries through the years. He researched and documented the role and uses of music in therapeutic settings, psychology, and imagery applications, educational programs and the contemporary and indigenous spiritual traditions. In 1988, Campbell founded the Institute of Music, Health and Education, serving as its director until 1995. He is also the author of 23 books, some of which have been translated in to 24 languages. Additionally, he served as Acoustic and Musical Director of Aesthetics Audio Systems, an innovative company that provides quality music to healthcare facilities, until his passing.
