Home Diaries
After the physical distribution became impossible, Whitelabrec’s Harry Towell started the Home Diaries series: artists documenting their personal experiences during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Fourth World, Outer Space, and mind-bending psychedelics: Chi Factory, LF58, and Kryptogen Rundfunk.
Touch: Isolation
Touch: Isolation is a subscription series presenting 20 (or more) exclusive tracks by Touch label recording artists, supporting them in these challenging times.

Edu Comelles * & Rafa Ramos Sania
Edu Comelles’ solo albums ‘explore the nature of field recording and their power to become instruments by itself’ – and his collaboration with double bassist Rafa Ramos Sania presents ‘the shredded expressiveness of the double bass’.
