Live at Bar Chitei
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $8.00
In August 2025, Tokyo’s mecca for noise and avant-garde sounds hosted Slug Tapes’ Operation Doomsday vol.1 live event, where the ex-Gauze and the Incapacitant — usually seen together in the trio Nomuzu with Yoshio Otani — stepped into the hot stink of an eager crowd of sweating noise nerds and hardcore goons. Mikawa ladles out the electronic belch’n’ heave while Hiko gets on the clatter’n’thwack feverishly, all frisky and visceral. A real thought embargo. Reports have it that the bar was propped up by a lone suave gent in a bespoke 1930s style Okisaka designer suit (three-piece), who had one sleeve rolled up, and his arm submerged in a giant jar of Big Dills for the duration of their set. Raw, no budget, straight to device capture. Edition of 75

COMING SOON. In these times of tit-imposed tariffs, Uncle Shonky and Little Big Man step up with an ear tax that is guaranteed to leave the more sensitive listener bow brained. This tête à tête of shop-bought and home-brewed electronics might have given ol’ Dave Tudor cavities but you respiring dweebs can wallow in the electrode slurp, drill, pitter and crunkle while feeling all the more peepy for it. Almost 80 minutes blissfully free of the curse of music. Cover art by Bill “The Face” Nace. Edition of 60
Oblique No Strategy
(Helicopter - H 78) CD $10.50 (Out-of-stock)
Hard to believe these two screech-zillas have never collaborated before now — the closest they ever got are Mikawa’s button-down liner notes for Wiese’s Teenage Hallucination CD — but a full fifteen years after first meeting, the pair bled electronics into one another in Tokyo at Ochiai Soup in 2015, leaving us with immersive and astounding energy. Mixed and mastered by Wiese during a residency at the studio of Ina/GRM in Paris, 2016.
Rising Sunset
