Baikal Nomads drops a deep and soothing organic house EP by Volzigt which also features remixes from Thommie G and Goro (NL).

Volzigt is a Dutch artist from Amsterdam who is a founding member of the city’s underground music venue Club Escargot, which is famed for being the home of Holland’s downtempo scene. His style is a fusion of ethereal synths, uplifting melodies and flowing percussion. Along with being a talented DJ, Volzigt has also released stunning tracks and remixes on labels ranging from Shango Records to his own Obscure Records, and this is his second time working with Baikal Nomads.

On remix duty, Goro (NL) is a Dutch artist who has close ties to Volzigt through being a resident at his Obscure events. He is also a respected producer whose enchanting style fuses trippy atmospherics with rhythmic percussion that creates captivating grooves focused at the dance floor. He has previously featured on Baikal Nomads along with other record labels such as Cafe De Anatolia, MONADA and Kosa.

Thommie G is a Dutch artist living in the city of Haarlem, and he is a Baikal Nomads regular who has an entrancing style of organic house, which can also be found on other scene leading record labels such as Sol Selectas, Magician On Duty, and Camel Riders.

“Blistered Paw” is the first of the two originals and it has psychedelic guitar chords fused with spine-tingling atmospheric synths and a thickset bassline. The track has a haunting vibe with intricate sound design.

Second of the original tracks is, “Pablo's” and it’s got a chugging groove with a pulsating bassline and angelic pads that are carried forth by a plodding kick drum and shuffling hi-hats. Its mesmerising atmosphere is both epic and immersive.
 
Goro (NL)’s remix of Blistered Paw is a hallucinatory version which adds additional atmospherics to create a spellbinding rework. Thommie G lifts the energy with his up-tempo remix of Blistered Paw which works in extra percussion and a new bassline.

— Couldn't you find a more comfortable bathyscaphe? And in general, fish should be inside me and not vice versa. It seems like this little guy doesn't notice anything around him.
— Hush, fluffy! Unlike his vision, Aquagrut's hearing is excellent.
— Why did the monk send us here?
— Until the Queen returns, we should follow the instructions instead of meowing and whining.

Few people are welcome in the depths of the oceanic abyss of Iguazu. Nevertheless, even an experienced lawbreaker is ready to help those honourable seekers who have got into trouble. Behind his innocent appearance hide a lot of chilling deeds. The conversation has begun with an unpleasant topic.

— To give strangers a decent reception is a matter of honour! However, remember that I despise those who visit unexpectedly.
— Thank you for your hospitality! And yeah, sorry for what happened in the information storage last time. You see, the feverish rush didn't allow us...
— Enough excuses, Spacelunch! You were aware of the degree of responsibility. If that visit had been announced in advance, you both would have already slept with the fishes. The only thing I respect is courage. By the way, what is the name of this funny thing under your nose?

The tension eased. It was time to get instructions and discuss the task that would be the payment for the crucial help. It may be difficult to justify some goals by means, but some circumstances require decisive action.

PREMIERE: Future Self - Know [ Self Control ]

Promotext: 
At the end of August, Self Control are set to illuminate the scene with a release that has a mix of styles that challenges norms. On Friday, August 25, Future Self unleashes the vocal progressive "Know" featuring a remix from Swedish duo Félag. The package is a exploration between old-school progressive deepness and dub techno. The original mix features ethereal vocals and heavy rhythm section with the remix driving a left of centre dubbed out gorgeous soundscape.

The remix is notable in itself. Coming from Félag, the fresh name that see's two seasoned producers join forces in an effort to establish their "Norse Dub" sound. In their own words "Deep techno as warm and glowing as an aurora borealis in the dark Scandi night. Flickering dubstep as brittle and crisp as a winter’s morning. Ancient futurism has never sounded as good as this." Félag transforms "Know" into an atmospheric odyssey.

The contrast between Future Self's pulsating original and Félag's crystalline dub serves to magnify the versatility of electronic music and is exactly what Self Control Records embodies. One track, two versions, bridging the gap between the past and the future, a testament to the unbroken chain of creativity the label has nurtured.

We are delighted to welcome the German artist Yannick aka @kandilari to the Hug Records family with his first full EP for us.

As always we also want to use this opportunity to present the artist behind the music and here are three Q & A's with Yannick: 

1) What is your favorite book to read?
 Das magische Auge,  Band 2 

2) If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Control the time would be something.. to slow down live around, skip pesky parts, or reverse good moments ...)

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?
usually love sleeping, but when the hype gets to me, I will gladly go without for a night or a bit more again ;)

This EP comes with four beautiful remixes by @pelikaan_beats, @coordese, @a-v-m & in this case @vinzoomuzik.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

As always 50% of the profits from this EP get donated to our social partner @love-foundation

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
