DK016 Small things On Sundays

DK016 Small Things On Sundays - New sonic OUT NOW!!!
3"CDr

Small Things On Sundays is a two heads hydra who crunch vinyl records and use stylus to engrave your skin with sonic tattoos of groove destruction and metal riff deploration. The guilty are Henrik Bagner and Claus Poulsen from Copenhagen, Denmark.
"New Sonic", their release for dokuro, is divided into 6 vortexes who will bring you down in the centre hole through the implosion of every sound that could be played and produced with vinyls surface and turntable.
In their style perfectly converge the pop (de)composition of  avantgarde turntablist Christian Marclay and  the turntable sound exploration of Otomo Yoshihide.
DK017 is released as a ltd. 70 copies 3"CDr with a mini DVD case.

DK015 Mike Shiflet

DK015 Mike Shiflet - Supreme trading OUT NOW!!!
3"CDr

Mike Shiflet is one of the truly agitator of the american experimental music scene, already member of Scenic Railroad  and Noumena,  collaborator of BXC and deus ex machina of  Gameboy Records,...he has produced many tapes, cds and mp3.
The power of his compositions is to maintain a fresh DIY aestethics exploring languages of contemporary avantgarde music (microtonality, atonality, reiteration, noise vs silence etc)
He sent us this  incredible gift: "Supreme trading" is a superlative  live performance recorded in Brookling last year, a piece where vibrating particles of sound collapsing and give form to a ethereal chords progression (that remind me the suggestive Angelo Badalamenti soundtrack for David Lynch movies).
3"cdr packaged in a Mini DVD case with a series of translucent inserts,

DK013 Rotorvator - EP

DK013 Rotorvator - EP SOLD OUT
3"CDr

Rotorvator is an entity close to a mystical, occult-inspired vision of music expressed by loud, raw and deliberately offensive sounds. 
It mess up classic black metal and other noise/industrial basics, constantly inspired by wildness of nature, bitter cold climate, human beliefs and stuff like that.
Rotorvator Ep is the first insane effort of these outminded halfhumans, a  mixture of  lacerated larynges' glossolalia, eruptions of guitar's hemorrhage and headbanging furious electronic manipulation, three songs from a debording noise cloaca which range  from martial rhythm cadenza to convulsive accelleration, from quiet bleakness to banshee's hysteria.
DK013 is released as a ltd.100 copies.
Artwork by the Rotorvator itself.

DK011 Kam Hassah - This Forest 12"S/s

DK011 Kam Hassah - This Forest FEW COPIES
12" Single Side

"This Forest" is the single side vinyl that italian noise honcho Kam Hassah (also headchief of the secondsleep records) done to the dokuro's catalogue.
What Kam Hassah do with "this forest" is to move perfectly a dense stratas of sounds in a hypnagocic way, the rotary slow motion of drones, the layers of  reverbarted voices, will bring you down under the moaning branches of this gloomy forest of sounds.
A spiral implosion will show you the dark side of your soul where no light can shine and then... under again, in the viscous undergrowth where the beasts crawl.
One track of pure bleak catharsis.
DK011 will be release in hand-numbered edition of 100 copies with silkscreen sleeves printed by Canedicoda.
Artwork done by Kam Hassah himself.

DK010 TLaSiLA/Harshcore

DK010 To Live and Shave in L.A. / Harshcore SOLD OUT
3"CDr
split

Dokuro is very proud to present a split 3" between  To Live and shave in L.A. and Harshcore.
To Live and shave in L.A. need no presentation: their records combine  elements of musique concrete, noise, heavy dub, and pervasive electronics.  They are perhaps the fathers of the american noise scene, truly underground since the '90s! "Le Ceneri di ..." (TLASILA's track)  is  an ironic attack to the self-congratulatory predilections of bloated star bands... a great piece of plunderphonic music that has its force in the measured noisy counterpoint to the mainstream's silliness.
Harshcore's  sound is based on analogic and poor electronics, bass, tape loops and other junks. They play live wearing animal masks and  making a weird mix of depitched tapes, geek rhythms and distort bass guitar. "Sun Hidden There" (Harshcore's song)  is permeated with the reading of  "Dinosauria, We"  by writer and poet  Charles Buckowski... musically it's a countdown pulse decostruction that flows exactly with the pace and meaning of the poem.
Lymphous indagative (and double-A-side) artwork by Merlo, DK010 will be release in a  ltd. edition of 70.

DK009 Dead Black Arms - Awake from the dead! Awake from the dark!

DK009 Dead Black Arms -
Awake from the dead! Awake from the dark! SOLD OUT
3"CDr

A monolithic organ chord, rich of twisting overtones. This is how  "Awake from dead! awake from dark!" begins by  Dead Black Arms aka Claus Haxolm from Denmark. For almost 20 minutes the track is running trough layers of microtonal beats and subtle distortions that ends with the unavoidable overwhelming of the listener. A great piece of nordic drone/noise music who strangely have it's roots in the NY 60's  minimalism.
Black mystical artwork by Merlo, DK009 will be release in a  ltd. edition of 70.

3"CDr

Sonic inducers is the first teaser from the ENT forthcoming full-length release.

DK006 PLastic Boner Band - Dance, California SOLD OUT
3"CDr

Samuel Henry is the man behind "The hardest boning band in show business", and his contribution to the dokuro's catalogue is an amazing reiterative typhoon of distorted riffage, a monolithic wall of sound (compressed in 3"CDr) ready to crumble against your tympanic membrane.
All the riff source was taken from the Wooden Shjips 7" "Dance, California" masticated by the Plastic Boner Band and recorded last december in Chicago by Jason Camacho.

DK001 nodolby - Axe magnitude/Altered beast SOLD OUT
7" (black or amethyst coloured vinyl)

Michele Scariot rides the constant saturation of his deskmix from the bleak moaning of downtuned strings to the yell of the 4tk-cassette-recorder all layered and interlaced with synth detonations, radio interferences and fuzzy echoes. Sonic blazes and drones abuse are the keywords for this new kind of noisy "just intonation". Artwork by Merlo.
