Today we open the book of memories to announce the third Schatterau album: “Wir gingen durch leere Stunden” (We went through empty hours).

Recorded between May and November 2025, these 15 dream-shrouded pieces explore the aberrations of time — an album that feels like a puzzled sigh over being lost in the tangled overgrowth of past and present.

Out May 1st in a limited vinyl edition of 300 copies. Pre-orders are up on Bandcamp, where you can also listen to two excerpts “Tausend Jahre” & “Leises Gelände”.

Mind Over Mirrors are back on Hands in the Dark with a new album, Particles, Peds & Pores, 14 years after the magnificent Check Your Swing.

Initially only available digitally, the eight masterfully crafted pieces of minimal drone music presented on the project’s first release since 2018 are now enjoying a physical form, in a very limited edition of 200 vinyls, coming out on 6th February.

The full album is streamable exclusively on Bandcamp, where you can also pre-order your copy.

We are over the moon to announce the release of ugne&maria’s new album ‘ZOTASPHERE’, dropping on 16th January 2026.

The project is a collaboration between Marija Rasa Kudabaite and Ugnė Vyliaudaite. Their musical style is characterised by a multilayered, down-tempo, yet danceable approach, incorporating violin, synthesisers and sampling techniques.

The duo’s live performance at Meakusma Festival in August 2024 completely blew us. It was one of those rare moments when time seemed to stand still: the music, the atmosphere and the audience merged into a single warm, smooth and radiant aura of positive energy and vibes.

Get in the zone with the tracks ‘slip’ and ‘xmas rec’ below and pre-order the vinyl in our webstore.

The Australian double bassist and music maker Mike Majkowski will make his debut on Hands in the Dark Records on 5th December with ‘Invisible‘, a selection of six moody and mysterious pieces produced between 2019 and 2025.

Since the early 2000s, the Berlin-based artist has been part of a wide range of contemporary and experimental music. This time, Majkowski is venturing further into minimal, dubby and downtempo electronic realms, delivering a spectacular immersive experience that is both meditative and hypnotic.

You can dive deep into the tracks ‘Drive’ and ‘Over’ below or on all streaming platforms and secure a copy on wax via our bandcamp page. Limited edition of only 200 copies.

We are wishing a very warm welcome to Valby Vokalgruppe on Hands in the Dark.

The Copenhagen-based collective (featuring members of Selvhenter) will be releasing its new album ‘Solids For Voices‘ on 7th November, in a limited edition of only 300 vinyls.

This proposition’s originality perfectly captures the fundamental essence of what we want to offer as a record label and we really can’t wait to share with you soon this fantastic album of minimal, avant-garde vocal excellence.

For now, you can discover the killer track Monastère de Ségriès below and secure a copy on wax at https://handsinthedarkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/solids-for-voices.
