Album and EP releases

The Athenian producer Aggelos Baltas alias Anatolian Weapons captures on the album Earth the feeling of an optimistic future that grows on the soil of the sweet bitterness of the present and the past.

Under his pseudonym Anatolian Weapons, Baltas combines polyrhythmic percussion and wailing tones of Greek folk music with a thrilling and open Krautrock attitude. The album Earth takes us on a mystical journey through the northern Greek highlands, backed by Baltas' unique machine-assisted folk, infused with psychedelic drones and exuding an aura that is neither then nor now, neither there nor here. Instead, it exists in a small pocket of its own cosmos. A crossroads of dimensions. A mystical offering to nature and the divinities.

Baltas has explored and reframed various Greek scenes of yesteryear in the past, such as with his Fantastikoi Hxoi project, which created Krautrock mutations from 60s and 70s pop, but Earth is an even more far-reaching expedition. It is a folk reckoning with ancient Greek musical traditions with a modern upgrade. The album reconstructs a sonic narrative of ancient traditions, enhanced with psychedelic and space-rock elements. In the reverb cycle, one hears a certain agrarian reinterpretation of the world, filled with harvest rituals and celestial incantations.

It is with great pleasure to welcome Anatolian Weapons to the label. During a longer stay in Athens, a friendship developed that led to a variety of musical projects and ideas. One of them is the release of the album Earth.

Aggelos Baltas has been producing music for more than 20 years. His projects such as Anatolian Weapons, Dream Weapons, and Fantastikoi Hxoi are praised locally and internationally for his bold blend of different styles and influences, covering a wide spectrum of psychedelic dance music. He is a resident DJ at Astron Bar and Bios in his hometown. He also regularly plays in European clubs and makes acclaimed mixes for platforms such as Digital Tsunami, Knekelhuis, Les Yeux Orange and Sameheads. He releases on renowned labels such as Beats In Space, Emotional Response, Dark Entries, Invisible Inc., Lurid Music and Kame House, to name a few.
