In Third Kind released 12 albums & some singles, starting with this Jan single from Linden Pomeroy’s self-released album ‘Kali Smile’. Hz, aka Nicholas Langley, aka me, remixed it with a Primal Scream dub flavour - any excuse to play melodica

Our first batch was released on bonus calendar day Feb 29th. THIRD45 was technically a rerelease from Russian language post-punk band with a touch of Broadcast headiness, Dvanov. Easily one of my most played albums of the year

Hopefully we’ll be hearing more from this uncompromising and fiercely energetic St Petersburg band. Here’s their latest video btw

After debuting on @CommRadioTapes and opening our 2017 Xmas tape spectacularly, Dakota Blue provided this amazing double-bill or two-fer of cinematic post-industrial desert blues. Bringing spooky melancholia to L.A. life in a Lynchian Lana Del Rey fashion

THIRD47 Reflex Condition made a welcome return after the 4 years since ‘Witch Flower’ for his best album yet. ‘Unknown Restraints’ was an epic collection of soundtrack, industrial, downtempo techno & vocal weirdness in the unique Ref-Co way

One of our our most popular and best loved releases, Rupert Lally’s ‘Strange Systems’ THIRD48 came out April 12th. Utilising computer assisted composition, it pitched icy synths against warm pastoral scenes to amazing effect. Final edition coming soon

Nikmis @nikmisnikmis returned to Third Kind on Easter Sunday with his 4th album for us... THIRD49.

‘Jawbone’’s playful compositions made it possible to pretend that you were full of the joys of spring - at least for a moment

Nikmis was interviewed by @ElectronicMagUK to coincide with the release. It was fascinating (for me especially!) to get an insight into this unique new-classical synth artist!!

So we made it to THIRD50 in July 2020 with this exceptional and final release from Bary Center. Immersive, panoramic, and nature-inspired. Fancy boxset with unique art from Mother Eagle and photographs from Mark Williams himself...

We also took the opportunity to mark our 50th release by reissuing our first ever tape from way back in 2013 - this time with fancy sci-fi book art courtesy of @tinylittlehammers to compliment the analogue spaceship-interior music within

Fisty Kendal surprised us with a new single in May. As catchy and humorous as you would have come to expect, this hints at what’s to come from his follow up Third Kind album. Do you hear that ladies?!

We snuck out this preview single in August from the immense Daniel Saylor album. ‘Heat Haze’ hints at the compelling rolling beats, squelchy acid synths and overall woofer challenge of Plastic Present

September saw the release of another big three batch. I finally had the pleasure of releasing one of my favourite artists in recent years, Daniel Saylor. This album shot out a staggering rate of playful beats, sub bass and melodic jazz-filtered grooves

Portland Vows - ‘Living Posthumously’, our first release by this mod-synth composer after an already amazing run on Concrète Tapes. With a kosmische warmth reminiscent of Harmonia & Florian Fricke, the only complaint we had was that it wasn’t on vinyl

Andy Fosberry released a LOT of really amazing stuff this year, but the very best of them (me, biased?) was this absolute stunner of an album! A sound-world both emotional and visceral, that you can walk around in and come out feeling like a better person

November saw the release of this fascinating live-coding project from Italy’s U-MANO U-DITO. A concept album about a pioneering computer, made entirely using code and documentary samples. Sounds niche right? But definitely a thrilling and fun listen

In December we rushed out this dramatic return to the giallo/horror genre from Yves Malone. This time he really flexed his prog-synth chops though, like Sabbath and Goblin stuck in a dungeon with Yamahas
