After a May 2022 debut on Particles, Maximilian Peter returns to Particles with his Kerosino production moniker. "Kerosino II" continues where the German artist's first eponymous album left off and three new originals are joined by remixes from Hrag Mikkel and about : river.

Opening proceedings, "Batiri" is a smooth 10-minute offering that shimmers with beautifully arpeggiated synth lines and metronomic beat. A head-shaking metallic percussion adds to the groove while shuffling hi-hats create another layer of syncopation. In tandem, a delicate 303-inspired motif coruscates across the track, rising and falling with gentle energy. "Tikila" immediately appeals with its darker edge as a deep kick locks quickly against a repetitive bass groove. Changing perceptions through melodic persuasion, a lighter motif meanders across the track making its presence felt with filtered energy as it syncopates elegantly with bass and rhythm. The final piece of the jigsaw sees a digitised voice proclaim the "Tikila" title at regular intervals throughout. The third track finds "Zazafi" presenting a dance-friendly bass groove sat within tight kick and sharp percussion. Following the same narrative as its EP partners, a beautifully sculpted arp makes its mark with plucked ease while a wonderfully sustained bassline progression adds a touch of class at the breakdown before a rousing crescendo and spoken sample heralds the return of melody, rhythm and groove through the third movement.

A powerful force within the Lebanese underground dance fraternity, Hrag Mikkel has found a way of turning the adversity felt in his homeland into a steady supply of dynamic and sought-after productions. Finding his music featured on some of the finest modern imprints: from Pipe and Pochet and Proton Music to Hoomidaas and Harabe, the Beirut star makes his Particles debut with a stunning reimagining of "Flamencano" from Kerosino's debut. Upping the tempo from the original, the Hrag Mikkel remix evolves quickly into a joyous rhythmic groove as beautiful synth lines swirl across the track in counterpoint patterns. Retaining the underlying themes form Kerosino's stripped back original, Mikkel's skill is to open up new melodic paths with a swathe of additional production that creates a powerful dancefloor gem. Glittering into the second half with new piano phrases and deep sub-bass groove, the result is a superb new reworking.

Regulars on Particles over the past 12 months, the father and son double act of Oleg and Ervin Ivanov have created quite a stir with their about : river pseudonym. Hitting early heights with their "Go Into The Mist" EP in June 2021, the Estonian pair showcased their unique sound to the Particles faithful before "Round Table Jams: In Between (Live)" provided a moment of electronica reflection and seven cuts of rare beauty in April 2022. Remixes for Davide Ferrario and Chihaka are now joined by a third with another reworking of "Flamencano". Full of melodic sensitivity, the about : river remix quickly creates a strong rhythmic and melodic groove that captures themes from Kerosino's original before adding layers of subtle intrigue, not least through Ervin's haunting clarinet lines. Retaining echoes of Kerosino's rhythmic structure, the result is another trademark offering from the about : river studio, full of poise beauty and grace.

Kerosino II

Premiere : Kerosino - Batiri [Particles]

New month, new music. Our friends Philipp, Andreas and Andreas, aka Überhaupt & Außerdem and Deep Ändi, worked together on some lovely beats, which they don’t want to withhold from you.

The EP “Directions” is a collaboration between them. Everyone made a track, which ended up being remixed by the other. The concept sounded exciting from the start, and we are happy that the tracks found their way to Vienna. We'll take that as an opportunity to pop the corks in Berlin. That's right Champagne Society. If you don't want to miss this, you should rather be there.

As always, a big thanks to our two silent helpers, Kilian Van de Water for the artwork and Haunted Water for the great mastering.

Überhaupt & Außerdem - Champagne Society (Deep Ändi Remix)

Es ist eben so mit den Dingen, die anders sind alles andere, dass niemand mit ihnen rechnet, bevor sie da sind. So verhält es sich wohl auch mit dem Album ‚Momoko' des Elektropop-Trios DAS MAER, einem Sammelsurium aus allerlei unterhaltsamen und doch tiefgründigen Kuriositäten, erträumt in einer schlaflosen, isolierten Woche in der Mineaturmetropolis Heidenheim, das nun nach mehr als einjähriger Feinarbeit erscheint. Die Mär vom MAER beginnt mit einem Tanzbären, so unscheinbar zunächst wie drollig, der sich aus Berlin auf eine Reise durch den musikalischen Untergrund begab, auf viel Wohlwollen stieß und so aus einem Einweg-Projekt ein etabliertes Trio zauberte. Auf der anderen Seite der Geschichte steht nun das Debütalbum desgleichen in den Startlöchern: Momoko, der namensgebende Spielzeugroboter, inspirierte DAS MAER – bestehend aus Elektroszeneveteranen Yannek Maunz, Brascon und Johanson – zu einer Langspielplatte, die ihrer ersten Silbe würdig ist. Mehr als eine Stunde klangliches Kontrastprogramm – von Violine und Kinderchor bis TB-03 und Autotune – erwartet Hörerin und Hörer hier. Darin gebettet Geschichten, Fantasien und Klamaukgedichte übers Erwachsenwerden, Verliebtsein, Feiern, das Fahren im 40-Tonner oder im Nachtbus, manchmal herzzerreißend melancholisch, manchmal weltfremd optimistisch und immer mal wieder tief zwischen den Zeilen versteckt. Dem Credo ihres bisherigen Schaffens bleiben die drei Kollaborateure treu: immer der Intuition nach, Genre-Grenzen beherzt überschreiten und sich vor allem nie zu ernst nehmen. Da ist es nun also: Etwas, das so noch nie war und das sich doch so anfühlt, als hätte man es sich schon immer gewünscht

The human blink is controlled by the subconscious. The reflexive closing movement of the eyelids clean and protect the eyes. When we blink, the visual centre in the brain is regulated. Therefore, we do not consciously perceive this whole process and the briefly reduced incidence of light. On average, this procedure is conducted 10-15 times per minute. In moments of great excitement, joy or concentration, we can blink significantly less often. Due to the excessive focus, the blinking becomes a consciously controlled process for a certain amount time. The first Joe Carl EP on KataHaifisch contains two tracks. Both are well suited for a club setting. Strong basses create a dancing mood and hypnotic leads a dreamy atmosphere. In both songs you can hear the unique style of Joe Carl. It’s defined through an exciting sound design, dynamic arrangement and little acoustic details. Let yourself fall into the music and enjoy the magic of „This Is Why We Don‘t Blink“. Thanks for your attention <3

Joe Carl - Bad Ben [KataHaifisch]

Image design and composition is probably one of the most fundamental forms of artistic expression. This field of art is almost infinite in its possible manifestations. An image can be created with highly complex computer programmes or with the simplest of means. In the digital cosmos, each pixel can be configured exactly according to the artists ideas and wishes. In contrast, impressive works of art can also be created with natural materials such as stones, twigs or with coal. The ability to compose images is as complicated as it is simple. It depends on the artist and his creative intention. The Canvas remix by Just Emma & Urem is a little darker than the original version. Expressive percussions and analogue-sounding synths give the song a clubby makeover. Elements of the original track are used thoughtfully and in specific places. Among other things, the unique vocals are incorporated into the new composition. Overall, this remix is a successful addition to the original and presents another form of Canvas music. Thank you for this piece of art.

Matthias aka M.Age.Project lernte Dr. Christian Rätsch, den bekannten Ethnologen und Schamanismusexperten aus Hamburg, der in aller Welt schamanische Kulturen und deren ethnopharmakologischen, ethnomedizinischen und rituellen Gebrauch von Pflanzen und Pilzen erforscht hat, bei mehreren Seminaren kennen, woraus sich ein freundschaftlicher Kontakt entwickelte. Als sie im Verlauf eines privaten Treffens während der Pandemie im Sommer 2020 die Maya-Sprachaufnahmen für diesen Track aufzeichneten, konnte noch niemand ahnen, dass dieses gebündelte Erfahrungswissen aus der entlegenen Urwaldwelt der Lakandon*innen im Süden Mexikos, bei denen Christian drei Jahre gelebt hat, so schnell zu einem Vermächtnis werden würde.

Diese drei essentiellen Sätze auf Lakandon-Maya hat Christian uns mitgegeben:
• ki' ile tu' kabin - Sorgfältig siehe, wohin du gehst.
• ki' ibah awilik tech - Sorgfältig betrachte die Dinge, die du siehst.
• ki' känan ta bäh - Sorgfältig beschütze dich selbst.

Aus der rhythmischen Gestalt des ersten Satzes hat Matthias alle Kernelemente seines organisch federnden Slow-Psy-Tracks abgeleitet und mit der Übertragung der Sprachaufnahme per Formant-Motion-Funktion in seinen Korg-Radias-Synthesizer einen einzigartigen, geheimnisvollen Sound-Trip kreiert.
Andreas Balicki, AmuAmu, Pay Kusten und Ex-Mono erkunden mit ihren unverwechselbaren Remixen weitere Klangräume in den unendlichen Weiten zwischen Natur und Klangsynthese.

Christian Rätsch starb am 17. September 2022 unerwartet an den Folgen eines Magengeschwürs.
Mit größtem Respekt danken wir ihm für seine außergewöhnliche Arbeit und seine freundliche Zusammenarbeit mit uns. 
Ebenso bedanken möchten wir uns bei den Lakandon*innen, die in freundschaftlicher Unterweisung ihr unschätzbares Wissen über das Leben im Regenwald mit Christian geteilt haben, damit es der Welt erhalten bleibe.
Im Sinne von Christians Lebensmotto „Liebe das Leben!“ wollen wir nun mit unserer Musik die „Essenz“ zusammen mit euch auf der Tanzfläche weitertragen!

Ektoplast - Fragment (AVEM Remix)

New Premiere! Always a pleasure to share something released on Hug records! Make sure to read the interview :) 

Track Info: 

As always, we ask the artists three questions to introduce himself. In
this case Bene aka Benoir ;)

1) What is your favorite book to read?

That's not an easy question because I definitely don't read enough. but at the moment I'm reading the book: "Paris - ein Fest fürs Leben" by Ernest Hemingway and I love the way Hemingway calmly talks about his time and describes life as an artist in Paris.

2) If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?

There are a lot of good answers for the second question. I think
speaking for humanity, my superpower would be to end wars and hunger, for me personally the greatest superpower would be to be infinitely free from all constraints and conventions.

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

The longest I was up was like 40 hours when we organized our own open air and were busy throughout the night. Otherwise, sleep is very important to me and you will rarely find me at extended after-hour sessions

PREMIERE: Benoir - Limon (thea Remix) [Hug Records]

Forbidden Fruits is the fourth "Various Artist" compilation by KataHaifisch. Over a length of 10 songs, 13 artists tell us their musical interpretation about the curse and blessing of being a human on earth. With their work, they create a possibility to make paradise perceptible. They remind us with clubby downtempo sound of the joys and burdens of being able to recognising oneself and ones environment. The Garden of Eden is a symbol of childlike freedom. Everything is allowed, only the fruits from the tree of knowledge are taboo. But through these forbidden fruits, man attained self-knowledge. Recognises the difference between good and evil and becomes fully aware of himself. The exile from the heavenly paradise offers the chance to create heaven on earth. Music is one of the ways to realise this privilege.
