We’ll be bringing a large, carefully curated selection of underground music, including electronic, hip hop, plus some jazz and indie pop. All sourced direct, with many titles that are genuinely hard to find.

Highlights include:

• A wide range of Drexciya, Underground Resistance, Metroplex, Clone, Tresor, Moodymann, Basic Channel, Main Street, Rhythm & Sound, Plus 8, Inkswel, Baroque Sunburst releases and more
• Plenty of hip hop: J Dilla, MF DOOM, Madlib, Kool Keith, Stones Throw, Professor Creepshow, Marco Polo, Masta Ace, A Tribe Called Quest, Declaime, EPMD, Talib Kweli, Percee P, Nas, Guilty Simpson, J.Rocc, NxWorries, Knxwledge, Kiefer, Stimulator Jones, Mndsgn
• A very limited number of records pressed at Analog Dreams
• A small selection of 7″ singles and cassette tapes (new stock)

🎛️ Advanced Lathe Cutting Workshop – Berlin 🎛️

While in Berlin, I had the privilege of attending Helmut Erler’s advanced lathe cutting workshop at Lathesville.

The sessions went deep into the inner workings of cutting amplifiers, amp and cutting head calibration, and sparked great discussions around the craft of cutting master discs.

For me, it was incredibly valuable to be surrounded by so many highly experienced master disc cutters — sharing knowledge, techniques, and perspectives that can only come from years behind the lathe. I walked away not only with new skills but also with connections that have already proven beneficial, plus some great new friendships.

Meeting Helmut (Lathesville / Tokyo Dawn) and Flo from Flokason was a real highlight. I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity as part of my preparation for launching Analog Dreams. 💛

Press update from Analog Dreams: we’ve got a new run coming up and today’s video shows the labels curing in preparation. One of those quiet steps before the presses start up. Thanks for riding with us—titles and dates soon.

🎙️ Visit to Neumann Berlin 🎙️

While in Germany earlier this year, we had the privilege of being invited to Neumann’s headquarters in Berlin after they discovered we’re restoring an AM32 lathe. The team was genuinely excited about the project, and it was a real honour to be welcomed inside.

We toured their HQ and saw an incredible collection of vintage microphones, their repair and R&D workshops, and even stepped into their anechoic chamber — a surreal and unusual experience.

The highlight was a rare glimpse in the basement at Neumann’s prototype CD Audio Master lathe — a pivotal piece in the history of physical media’s evolution. It’s rarely seen and never photographed, making the moment even more special.

A huge thank you to Neumann for the hospitality, the tour, and the support for Analog Dreams. We hope to return soon — next time with photos of our fully restored AM32 lathe. 💛

Earlier this year, our Pheenix AD12 and Newbilt presses touched down in South Australia and were carefully unloaded from the shipping container.

After their long journey, both presses have been placed safely into storage while we continue the search for the right industrial site to bring Analog Dreams to life.

We want to share this journey as it unfolds — from unloading the machines, to building out the plant, to eventually pressing records for artists across Australia. We hope seeing the process from the ground up gets you as excited as we are. 💛

If you know of an industrial-zoned site that could work for the plant, we’d love to hear from you: [email protected]
