It is curated by Welsh musician, producer and label owner Andrew Zammit. Releases include Soft Rains by Zarelli (a musical reinterpretation of a Leonard Nimoy-narrated Ray Bradbury short story from The Martian Chronicles), the first vinyl release of the Krzysztof Komeda-composed soundtrack to Roman Polanski's Dance of the Vampires/Fearless Vampire Killers, Berlin avant-punk collective Candy Bomber (whose album features guest spots from musicians including Gemma Ray, Kid Congo Powers, Toby Dammit and Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), Cremator (London synth musician Matt Thompson (Zoltan, Guapo)), and The Still, who are a cast of international musicians (including Chris Abrahams of The Necks) who record in Berlin.
