👀 here to announce NAD (ناض) by Basma & Temir Alcy as STRLP-030

Here is a tender journey through loss and rebirth — a raw exploration of grief, heartbreak, and the emptiness that follows. It unfolds the fragile moments after losing a beloved friend, the fragile attempts to mend a fractured love, and the sudden rupture that shakes the soul to its core.
Amidst the turmoil, anxiety pulses and the body aches with memories too heavy to hold. Yet, slowly, the darkness gives way to light. Breath returns. Support is found in unexpected places. Memories surface through hypnotic whispers, guiding the way back to softness and hope.
This is not a story of instant healing, but a delicate awakening — a reckoning with old patterns, a reclaiming of the self, a learning to love differently.
Intimate and universal, fragile yet fiercely alive.

Basma & Temir Alcy composes music of thresholds: a space where one moves between night and dawn, between what fades away and what remains.

Basma, a French-Moroccan singer, develops sung narratives in Moroccan Darija. She explores links between her heritage and intimate spaces, bringing stories and sensations that seek another form of existence to light.

Temir Alcy (Enir Da – cofounder of Dali Muru & The Polyphonic Swarm, multi-instrumentalist Charles Lmx & Lucas Valero) moves between ambient, leftfield and experimental folk forms, where acoustic instruments, electronic processes and hypnotic rhythms intertwine.

The quartet explores shifting realms where memory, the body and the voice converge.

“C’est en regardant ma tombe que je me rends compte,’ he sang to keep mood high. ‘Que je n’ai pas honte ; De m’enfuir d’ici ; Loin du Christ ; Auprès des vices ; Au gré de mes caprices…”

Lazaar Vanderschrick - Salut (STR7-144/KG015)

“Lazaar Vanderschrick? What in the hell kind of name is that?” After spending the better part of half a decade trying to wash every possible ounce of music industry dirt off of him, Victor De Roo returns to Stroom and Kontakt Group once again. But this time he comes bearing more than just music as the man has discovered yet another hidden talent and has now become Victor De Roo: Producer/DJ/Performer/Journalist/Teacher/Writer. For “Mauvaise foi (Feat. Iwza)” is the single accompanying his literary debut “Heil”, a tragi-comical novel set in the tristesse of Charleroi amongst desillusioned bar-punters, revolutionaries and self-proclaimed prophets.

If my perception is custom
I can’t move
in safety of action
Custom sight

Of close skin

“Ring ring ring
Tell me your dream
On the phone
Cried for hours
Covered in tears
All alone
Scratch and sniff
Miserable fits
Nodding off
It’s alright
I’m just here
Telling you things
You forgot
It’s alright
It’s alright til it’s not
But for now
It’s ok”

Richard - Loving You To Death
STRLP-128
Out September 29th

“If you want
I can pretend to love you tonight
It’s alright
Sting sting sting
Push in the pin
Leave it there”

Loving You To Death is very much about being with someone who is hurting you by hurting themself, knowing you should leave but that you can’t live without them. It’s mostly about one night, or one period of time? I don’t really know anymore, but maybe you can relate

“Sitting scared
Waiting for you
to appear
Looking ill
Crushed like a pill
Getting late
The good fight
It needs a knife
To feel safe
It’s alright
It’s alright til it’s not
But for now
It’s ok”

That I love you to death

It’s alright “

This absolute special banger is out!

Alexander Holm - Dial / Head Stroll
STRLP-105
Pretty limited, don’t sleep

Music to be heard with ears. Through and through. Over and over. No coherence or meaning. A slow rotating dial of information. In and out of focus between benches, beams, buffs, busses, butter, bars, bees, bumps, beens and boons. Luminous eyes around a small fire. Waiting for something to happen. These two movements. With 10 eyes divided onto 6 faces. Making small sounds as they roll clockwise. Then over the table... stumbling into everyday ghosts.

released August 18, 2026
‘Egue into hs’ and ’song passing’ made in collaboration with Francesca Burattelli. Voice on ‘Hush hush drift’ by Miriam Kongstad. Cello on ‘News’ and ‘1 sec laughter’ by Cæcilie Trier. Guitar on ‘FP20’ by MK Velsorf. Additional voices, instruments and co-production by Francesca Burattelli & Claus Haxholm. Mastered by Mathieu Savenay. Artwork by Wilfred Wagner.

Yes! Time for a very special one!

Someone mentioned a concert from the Becue Bakery last winter— seeing Alexander Holm play his encore on a the old dough mixer, seemingly speaking with the late baker’s clerk. As a follow up on his Head Stroll EP from june ’25 DIAL collects five tracks by Copenhagen based artist Alexander Holm and different collaborators. The project explores different form criterias for recording and composing with text, voices, instruments and sounds, e.g. through dice rolling, tracking of lost memories, guided imagery, a.o. The material originates from live shows, performed in both formal venues as well as in more spontaneous settings. Recorded between 2020-2025.

Alexander Holm - Dial is out on all platforms and if you are still reading here… there is also an double EP (as one LP) released on bandcamp.
Quite limited so don’t sleep on this amazing publication.

🌸 Out 🌸

Pablo’s Eye - Everything you give away
STRLP-125

“And so they sat, watching the waves break.
He picked up green pebbles and threw them into the sea,
she played with her jade earrings.
That night in bed, she felt one missing.
She pictured it lying in the sea,
she felt relief:
the best place to hide a leaf is in a tree.”

“a remoteness from the centre” from “the light user scheme”

Pablo’s Eye are: Marie Mandi, Luc Laret, Thierry Royo, Richard Skinner, and Axel Libeert. Guest: Ludwig Lapauw (flute on B3 by courtesy of Nightfall In Camp). Music composed, recorded & produced by Pablo’s Eye at Soundscube, Brussels in 2025. Texts, titles and poems: Richard Skinner. Mastering: Uwe Teichert. Artwork & graphic design: Nana Esi.

Huge thanks to Ziggy Devriendt. Pablo’s Eye are very grateful. Special thanks to Noor-e-Sehar Ali. Our love to Lili & Suzanne Rose. Contact: [email protected]. You can find Pablo’s Eye on Instagram & pabloseye.weebly.com. More than anything, Pablo’s Eye is a temporary atmosphere like a taste or a dream...
