Quite literally over the moon to announce the release of an EP by LA-based artist/musician Secret Circuit who we’ve been a huge fan of for several years.
Get on over to some soundclips on the Releases page….we’ll let the music speak for itself.
After what seems like an eternity and a multitude of disasters since INVINC 05 Tross hit the shops, EP#6 is finally here.
With delay after delay, culminating in half of the entire shipment being damaged in transit….we finally got all 300 copies under one roof happily reunited, late but all together.
EP#6 is our second compilation 12″ this time featuring newcomers Delta Girls and the Immaculate Rivombo as well as veteran producers Legion Of Light plus a rare reissue of a live recording of Claudio Cremonesi’s “Inner Path To Outer Space”.
Again this 12″ is limited to just 300 copies and is getting plays from Prins Thomas, Andy Weatherall, Tim Love Lee, Kirsty P, Pardon My French and more.
Invisible Inc was asked to do a “Flavour of The Label” Mix by the lovely people at Ransom Note magazine. I happily obliged.
It’s a tricky thing to try and find a ‘sound’ or a specific ‘vibe’ to go for when trying to capture the essence of what is clearly a very diverse and sonically hard to pigeon-hole label….but I gave it my best shot.
With inspirations as far ranging as new age, krautrock, disco, techno, kosmik, tribal, new wave and space rock, the mix features tracks by the likes of EP-4, Conrad Schnitzler, Los Gatos Negros, Severed Heads, Pharaohs, Kuniyuki, Clandestine, Hydrus, Zsou, Naum Gabo, Kraftwerk, Peter Power, Cecil Canterburn & His Computer-Controlled Oscillators, Mind fair, Moscoman, Diskoking Burnhart McKoolski as well as Invisible Inc acts The Poncho Brothers, Secret Circuit, Spacerocks, Tim Love Lee and Delta Girls.
As well as the mix I was asked a few questions about the label, its ethos, background and what it was all about.
You can read the interview…right… HERE
Out in shops this week: Tross – Coast To Coast EP.
Our latest offering comes courtesy of Swedish psych rock / krautrock four-piece Tross
Tross have developed a strong reputation for being a live experience well worth seeing on their home turf in Sweden and the songs on this EP capture that live energy and essence in a way that so many studio bands just can’t seem to do.
With ”Coast To Coast” Tross give not just a nod of respect to their kraut/psych forefathers but display an originality unique to the band: the throbbing, pulsing basslines of tracks such as War Of Apples show that the EP is as well geared towards a dancefloor as it is towards the ‘heads’ at home.
Limited to only 300 vinyl copies.
Getting plays from Andy Weatherall, Psychemagik, Soft Rocks and more.
More analog machine music hot off the tape from Glasgow’s Green Door recording studio.
Sordid Sound System has recorded and mixed the likes of Golden Teacher, The Amazing Snakeheads, Whilst, and The Junto Club, and this debut EP is the product of late night after hours recording sessions utilising the studio’s Tascam MS16 tape machine, a Korg MS10 and a rusty Roland Space Echo amongst other obscure electronic toys and gadgets.
“In A Year Of 13 Moons” is the sound of motorik disko and dub exotica running wild in a nightmare imaginary dancehall projecting the films of Roger Corman and Rainer Werner Fassbinder on to its fractured psychotropic walls.
Getting plays from Tolouse Low Trax / Salon Des Amateurs, Mutant Disco Radio, Krossfingers, Richard Bone, Brenda ‘Beachball” Ray, Kirsty P and more.
Our third release departs in yet another direction as we reissue (and revamp/remaster) ’80s new wave/psychedelic disco outfit The Poncho Brothers.
Fully remastered from the original tapes (the three original cuts were recorded between 1987 and 1990) these percussive no wave/new wave, disco-funk jammers are now firmly rocketed into the 21st century with Zoovox’s (of Lectric Sands fame) stripped down, synth-heavy stellar remix of Amantes Latinos.
Getting plays from Daniele ‘Cosmic’ Baldelli, JD Twitch/Optimo, Jan Schulte, DJ Kaos, Kirsty P. + more.
Limited to 300 copies and available NOW
Our second release condenses out of the ether and into the material world and is on sale in shops from 17 August 2015. This latest exciting audio adventure is a limited edition 12″ vinyl EP by none other than the amazing Higamos Hogamos.
Steve Webster has been releasing under the name Higamos Hogamos, Spacerocks, Black Neon and Fort Lauderdale for over a decade with releases on J. Saul Kane’s now-defunct DC Recordings, Memphis Industries, Worm Interface as well as countless self-released CDrs jammed full of tripped out funk-infused kraut-tech unlike anything else you’ve heard.
Higamos Hogamos’ core incarnation incorporates Dr. Andrew Robertson on guitar/production duties and Whetham Allpress behind the drum kit.
Unleashing an arsenal of synthesizers both homemade and vintage, live drums, guitars and occasional vocals this EP is sure to catapult you into orbit with no return ticket guaranteed.
Invisible Family EP #1 is finally here on vinyl.
Order your copy direct via our Shop (up at the top of the page) or over at our bandcamp…..or head to any respectable dealer on planet earth on or after 11 May 2015.

We’re excited here at Invisible HQ to finally be able to present our debut release – the “Invisible Family” compilation which we’ve been putting together since mid-2014. The compilation showcases a selection of the artists we love and admire and by whom we hope to be releasing more material in future…on heavyweight vinyl and in collectable colour artwork sleeves.
Featured here are fourteen artists from around the world, each pioneering a unique and individual sound, yet all treading a common path into peripheral, at times wonky, leftfield territory: from new age trance to krautrock-injected synth-pop, from downtempo tropical house to jazz-infused techno adventures. Showcasing new and upcoming acts as well as artists who’ve previously appeared on respected labels such as Beats In Space, Tummy Touch, DC Recordings, Emotional Response, Hoga Nord, Peace Feast, Lectric Sands, Luminous Recordings, Madwaltz, Memphis Industries, Psychic Malmo, Cocktail D’Amore, Horn Wax, Lugnet, 360 Degrees and cult “library” label Bruton. So it goes without saying that we’re very pleased to be able to add these people to our own roster and bring this long-awaited compilation to you. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the music as much as we do.
Head over to the Releases page for clips….or head to our bandcamp where you can download the compilation in full.
