MEMBA - Walls Down (ft. EVAN GIIA)

After the filthiness that was SAGA-I, we decided to come back with something drastically different. The new EP offers 7 songs that convey life on SAGA-II, a planet of newfound awareness where people accept life and death as they are, using it to live better now. We feel that the best way to experience this place is to not only hear it but also see it…

AONIAN brings his new single 'Ascent', fusing melodic, trippy electronica with Mediterranean soundscapes.

The first glimpse to Aonian's world as the first single of his upcoming debut album, it showcases a blend of contemporary electronic synths and swirling melodies, colliding with dreamy traditional and ethnic soundscapes.

With references to traditional and folk elements from his home country, the Greek born and London based producer successfully pays homage to our past and present whilst remaining loyal to an ever-changing cultural identity.

"Ascent was inspired by conversations I had with friend, storyteller, and ethnomusicologist Anastasis Sarakatsanos (@nomadmusicamsterdam) back in the summer of 2017, conversations surrounding history, migration, and cultural identity, and how that part of history (and present) kept fuelling folklore stories and traditional music, as well as modern art in the Balkans, and the Mediterranean cultures. His performance on the Qanun instrument is featured throughout the track and made me overcome my initial doubts in including soundscapes from my motherland in my productions.

It's the first track of my debut album, and the entrance to my Aonian world." - Alkis Livathinos

Having already established a trusted reputation in composition across media and brands (including Louis Vuitton and Glossier), AONIAN emerges from five-years of conceptual and instrumental experimentation, delivering a refreshing sound, listeners need.

His recent remix for the Glastonbury brothers - Speakman Sound - has been supported and played by DJ John Digweed in a Bunker Sessions set and his upcoming debut album has attracted interest from the likes of London start-up Remixology HQ and the recently awarded music blog Give it a Spin.

Ascent is out February 17, as the first single of his upcoming self-titled debut album.

Breathe Part I

Aonian reveals the second chapter of his upcoming debut album, with the release of his single "Hideout", a poignant and lush fusion of downtempo electronica and organic mellow soundscapes.

Drawing inspiration from the idea that each of us builds their own "hideout" in times of crises, a place of inner safety and familiarity, Hideout has a sound that appeals to both fans of neoclassical and techno music. Aonian borrows sounds and memories from his homeland by using percussion elements recorded near his family village in Greece, as well as moments of meditative improvisations on the piano in a pandemic era locked down studio in London.

In this era of self-isolation and forced solitude, it reminds us where each of our hideouts lies - maybe not in isolation, but in shared, communal experiences.

"The motif was written on the Oud, but I then recorded it on the piano where it took a completely different form, and I ended up adding organic percussive elements built from places and memories of my motherland. I wanted to bring out a sense of familiarity and safety from those sounds and melodies, a feeling that I fear has been missing this last year from our lives." - Aonian

With references to traditional and folk elements from his home country, the Greek born and London based producer successfully pays homage to our past and present whilst remaining loyal to an ever-changing cultural identity that his music represents.

Having already established a trusted reputation in composition across media and brands (including Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Glossier), AONIAN emerges from five-years of conceptual and instrumental experimentation, delivering a refreshing sound.

Aonian's recent debut single 'Ascent', was featured on Indie Shuffle's 'Hot Picks', and appeared in creative outlets Visual Atelier 8, Plastic Magazine, Secret Eclectic, as well as the top german music blog Ton Spion. His music has been supported by DJ John Digweed, the London start-up Remixology HQ, as well as the highly curated Rattle music collective in London. 

Hideout (the single's "Edit" version) is out on April 23, leading us closer to Aonian's upcoming debut album release.

Aonian - Hideout (Edit)

“Aonian - Gathering” 💽

Excited to share the latest (and last) single from my upcoming album.

How do you go about talking about a song you wrote so many years ago? “Gathering” has gone through various revisions and there’s even an early version of it with a different name lurking online somewhere.

It features Polyphonic Choirs from the region of Epirus which were the first element of Balkan traditional music that really caught my attention, and a gateway to discovering more folk music from the area.

Most importantly, Nicki Maher, an amazing clarinetist studying the music of Epirus extensively with her recent Phd thesis “The Crying Clarinet: Emotion and Music in Parakalamos” provided the lament performances that were used for the main motif as well as the general soundscape of the track.
