Maceo Plex - Conjure Balearia (Original Mix)

“The only escape from the miseries of life is music” - Albert Einstein
Soulfooled, lovingly curated since its inception in 2010 by the outstanding German producer & DJ, Alex Niggemann, has steadily established itself as a crucial platform for fresh talent. The label’s focus is always on sonic innovation and search- ing out unfailingly original musical gems, and, in the process, developing its own distinctive brand of music.
Alex Niggemann’s impressive A&R skills were once again highlighted when Dresden’s enigmatic Felkon, released his excellent, mind-bending debut track (“Creixell”) on last sum- mer’s “Soulfooled Cribs Vol.2 EP” (the second instalment of the exciting format that brings the ever-evolving Soulfooled family together). The resulting furore has now led to Felkon returning with a trio of absolutely stunning creations for his “Cry Wolf” EP.
The pulsating, infectiously percussive “Cry Wolf” opens pro- ceedings, layered with super-seductive ebbing and  owing melodic waves, and building towards a plateau of beauti- fully subtle, scarily spooky energy. Meanwhile, the equally engrossing “Eos” has its own distinct identity, pirouetting majestically around another masterclass of subtle, melodic, rhythmic beauty.
“Selene” expands the theme of melody within rhythm even further, with its gorgeous, heart-melting motifs. A wonderful hint of melancholic re ection, serves to create an atmosphere for the track that renders it in one’s subconscious way after its  nal notes have faded from the speakers.
As a teenager Felkon got his  rst experience of being on stage with “Die Pilger”, a fun punk band from his hometown of Dresden, Germany. After the band broke up in 2010, he took his  rst steps into the world of producing electronic music, a process that has evolved to now also playing live sets and DJ sets throughout Europe. Having previously released the “Sunset Stories EP” (Blossom Kollektiv) and the aforementioned “Creixell” (Soulfooled), his new “Cry Wolf” will surely mark Felkon out as major new talent to watch
out for throughout 2016 and beyond, proving what a great discovery he is.
With an ever-growing family of superb artists in their “crib” and stunning releases like this on the agenda, Soulfooled continues to grow into one of the  nest labels around.

Innovative electronic trio Cubicolor follow up their introspective ‘Points Beyond’ with second single ‘Wake Me Up’, lifted off their upcoming album, ‘Hardly A Day, Hardly A Night’.

Full of organic instrumentation paired with purpose-built synthesisers, every sound on the album is unique. ‘Wake Me Up’ is no exception, utilising the trio’s unique sound design and Tim Digby-Bell’s siren-like vocals to tell a story about the impermanence of self-identity.

With their previous album ‘Brainsugar’ accumulating over 40M streams and attracting praise from the likes of Mixmag, Spin, and Clash, and a host of heavyweight DJs including Pete Tong, Joris Voorn, and Kölsch, Cubicolor look to build on their reputation with their follow-up LP, out Feb 21st.

| RELEASE DETAILS |
| Friends and bandmates since they were 15 there’s a bond between T.M.A (AKA Steven Szpielmann and
Patrick Steppons) that means they have an intuitive understanding of one another. In the studio this has led to
the production of spellbinding collection of music, full of emotional depth and dynamic rhythms. The pair play
live organic instruments, guitars and drums, which they merge with an electronic setup to produce a warm,
human sound. This is evident across all three tracks on their latest EP for Hommage, Aitne.

Kicking off with the title track, we’re immediately confronted with the duo’s instinctive use of melody and
rhythm to cultivate the kind of atmosphere that envelops you from the off. A wistful, impish vocal clips drifts in
and out of the background occasionally, coaxing you into a trance-like state, while the beats keep your body
moving. Tension, drama and simmering emotion make this one a fantastic start to the EP.

Next up is ‘Eirene’, a more punchy cut with razor sharp snares and hats, combined with a dense low end
designed to pump the dance floor full of irresistible energy. The track’s blackened sheen is juxtaposed by the
lively breakdown, which lifts the mood and carries us into the vibrant second half.

Lastly, label owners Monkey Safari step up for a remix of ‘Aitne’. They add a dreamlike atmosphere to the cut,
increasing its emotional appeal. This is one for the lovers out there, who’ll be wrapped in each others’ arms on
the dance floor, as the romantic, thought-provoking melody sends them into the throes of ecstasy. |

| PREMIERE: T.M.A - Aitne (Monkey Safari Remix) [HOMMAGE] |

After his third studio album Reminiscence last year Jonas Saalbach returns with a very diverse EP on EINMUSIKA, including material for sunrise festival sets as well as dark winter club nights.

„Second Surface" will cause a wild stampede on the dancefloor with certainty. „Catamount" on the other hand is more like the Oasis after a long walk through the desert, appearing from far, far away and soon transforming into a bath of pure joy and ecstasy. And with their thirst quenched the heard would then contentedly move on into the night carried through the solid groove of „Rapture".

Get Douglas Greed's LP on @3000-grad Records here:
➟ All Platforms: https://www.douglas-greed.com/linktree

"Roll With The Punches" is the second single taken from @douglasgreed's forthcoming album "Angst". It shows his talent for tracks that dress up as songs. The vocals and lyrics by his friend @joy-wellboy paint a sweet - sour picture that is able to give you much needed sun in the morning. It as a warm blanket that emerges out of thin air and is here to stay. The track thrives to the moment when all the sorrow and fears fall down the edges while you stay there and enjoy the sight of waves.

trndmsk: How long did it take you to produce the album?

Douglas Greed: I think the oldest track is more than four years old. I didn't wake up one morning and told myself „lets make another album“. It was rather a slow process and at some point i had a couple of tracks that fit together. And then came the idea to have an album that is about „Angst“.

How did you choose the title of the LP? Is there a special meaning behind it?

These past couple of years felt like everything was a bit out of control - a bit out of tune. Starting with the UK voting for Brexit, then the US electing the worst human being into office and even Germany french kissing with fascism. That seriously kept me up at night! I was afraid - i am afraid. This helplessness was new to me - i never thought that things could turn this bleak. Who in his right mind would vote for a dude who says „you can grab them by the pussy“ or how can it be that German people vote for a fascist teacher … ?

And then there is climate change … That seriously scared the shit out of me.
So i decided to see how i can put this into music. But not just political rooted fear but also personal fear that comes with being an artist.

What inspired you to produce the tracks and the LP?

There are songs with guest musicians that gave the „Angst“ theme their own spin and there are a couple of tracks without vocals. With those instrumental tracks i tried to catch the bitter-sweetness of fear, as it is also the driving force in my life.

Where and how did you produce the tracks?

I produced most of the tracks in my studio in Berlin. For some of the recordings i drove to Switzerland to record and talk with ODD BEHOLDER.

How did the collaborations come about?

I talked with ODD BEHOLDER and Joy Wellboy about my ideas of "Angst" and asked them to put their own approach into vocals, Lyrics and riffs. Which was quite interesting for me as everyone of us has a different relationship with fear and the way it impacts their life.

[cns109] Blindsmyth - Gryllidae
@blindsmyth
Released: 15.05.2020
Order: https://connaisseur.lnk.to/cns109

Writing this text right now feels awkward. When we received this demo in late 2019, pictures of people dancing barefoot on soft grass at picturesque open-airs unfolded before our inner eyes, as for us, Blindsmyth’s "Gryllidae“ represents the quintessential summer track. 

But now, late in March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic is in full effect. Currently, we don’t know if a single open-air or festival can take place this summer or if we will be able to enjoy the season the way we are used to, at all. However, this major uncertainty is no reason for us to change our release plans, as even if our activities will probably be limited this summer, "Gryllidae“ will still be your friendly companion. The beauty of this track is its ultimate easiness, even though it is full of edgy moments and elements. It is a very unique composition, motivating you to listen to it over and over again, discovering something new every time. 

Berlin-based Blindsmyth, who has shone before with releases on Diynamic and Cosmic Society, was able to create something with "Gryllidae“, which many producers often try to achieve, but mostly fail: Perpetuating the feeling of summer with a piece of music. 

Can you feel it, too?

@madmotormiquel is next up to join the @buntekuhpodcast family, this time offering up a tantalising pair of original works alongside two remixes from Christopher Schwarzwalder (@shuffle) and @iorie. The title track for the EP is up first as "Someone To Take Me Home", easing you into a rich, rolling groove partnered alongside delicate, reverb soaked piano parts. Closing the a-side is Christopher Schwarzwalder, who ups the energy from the original work with punchier percussion and techy melodic movements.

"Sleepwalker" is carried by a marching rhythm and simplistic bass line, easing off the gas only to welcome trippy, dreamlike synth lines that take the experience to another level. Iorie then strips things back with dark growling bass lines and vocal snippets, rounding off the collection in a vast sunset of colour.

Braxton makes a welcome return to renowned imprint Anjunadeep with double A side ‘Torn/Chiaroscuro’, out May 20th. ‘Chiarascuro’ was released on the label’s Vol.11 compilation and has been lauded as one of the best tracks of the year so far. 

Accompanied by the fresh, unreleased track ‘Torn’, this perfect summer two-tracker confirms Braxton as one of the hottest UK talents on the electronic music circuit. 

Since his debut on Anjunadeep with ‘When the Sun Goes Down’ in 2019, he’s established himself as the tastemaker’s favourite and remixes for the likes of RUFUS DU SOL, Tourist and GRADES have previously won the support from BBC radio royalty. 

‘Chiaroscuro’ brings back breakbeat with a 90s inspired sound perfect for clubs and headphones moments alike. It plays with layers of sound and shifting synth textures for the ultimate uplifting vibe. 

In ‘Torn’, the chilled vocals of Brighton newcomer Danni Wells tell a tale of heartache, whilst subtle cello lines meet soulful chord progressions to create a dreamy warm-weather hit. 

Speaking on the double A-side, Braxton explains “‘Chiaroscuro’ is about contrast. That’s the theme in a lot of my music, melodically and sonically, I try to find a balance between darkness and light. ‘Chiaroscuro’ means the contrast between light and shadow – and the track was inspired by a world that exists between two opposing states. 'Torn' is a pure, moody progressive house record. I was in a darker place when I wrote it, which the tone of Danni’s voice really suits – it’s a good track to get lost in.”

[cns107] ELEFAN - Origin
@elefan-music
Released: 25.05.2020
Order: https://connaisseur.lnk.to/cns107

ELEFAN is the project the bassist and keyboard player Brieuc and the music composer and pianist Lionel, founded in 2019. The two Brussels-based professional musicians have developed a neo-classic inspired style which is rich in textures, heavy storytelling compositions full of unorthodox twists and turns and cinematic soundscapes. Their music forms interactions between the fields of electronica and techno, combined with classic acoustic instruments. With "Silent Space“ they self-released their debut EP early 2019. ELEFAN perform on stage and have already given several concerts in and around their hometown of Brussels. When we received their demo in autumn last year, we knew this would herald a new age for Connaisseur. 

After already having extracted "Blurry“ and "Bells“, we finally present the full "Origins EP“, including the two new titles "Pavement“ and "Six“. 

The cinematic "Pavement“ with its alluring strings, wild beats and sophisticated storytelling, sounds like it were made especially for Connaisseur and is an absolute highlight in our catalogue. 

"Six“ instead, just like „Bells“, masters the balancing act between neo-classic and techno, resulting in a highly intense piece of music.

I'm tied down by deepest heartaches
And I feel desire's glance has marked me
The burden of secrets won't go away

Yeah But No - Run Run Run (GNAA Remix) KM052

'With his debut album slated for the beginning of summer, A.M.R is certainly making the most of a challenging year for our global community. "Sailor's Cry," the first single from his forthcoming album ("A Place For Everything") on Silk Music, centers on an intoxicating organic house groove, as wistful female vocal hooks and melancholic keys coalesce to craft an exceedingly beautiful soundscape. As the track progresses, a robust new bassline layer subtly emerges, and haunting strings make a dramatic entrance as well. Pouring out like the plaintive inner voice of a sailor lost at sea, the full vocal refrain finally arrives in the main breakdown and continues through the drop, as the protagonist battles an especially stormy sea. A.M.R's breathtaking strings guide us through the stirring finale, with the narrator's journey left indelibly in our hearts, long after the song's conclusion.'
