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.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Tomaga‘s debut album, ‘Futura Grotesk‘, their long sold out record will be available again in a limited edition of 500 copies. The reissue will be accompanied by the first-ever vinyl pressing of the band’s inaugural EP, ‘Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats‘, featuring new artwork and 300 units available. Both records have been remastered by Marta Salogni for the occasion.

Established in 2013 by Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen, the duo operated until 2020 as a creative laboratory to explore beyond their traditional musical endeavours. They sought to deconstruct their usual sonic frameworks, venturing into a novel and unfamiliar auditory landscape. Their work seamlessly integrated various forms of multi-instrumentalism, traversing the realms of industrial, jazz, psychedelia and minimalism.

The band’s self-released cassette debut, ‘Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats‘ presents an unconstrained, complex and abstract introduction to their distinctive and darkly thought-provoking sound.
In contrast, Tomaga’s seminal album, ‘Futura Grotesk‘, further elevates their sonic explorations, leading to compositions that are more elusive and profoundly evocative, resembling the surreal and unsettling language of dreams and other subconscious wanderings transposed into a unique musical expression.

Pre-orders for both records are up in our webshop now .
