 : : DIVING : : 
The best minds of our time 
Spreading independent thought 
Deconstructed in the hive 
Hard to survive 
We share the mystery of our lives
The reasons we don't feel complete inside 
Just a body of water In search of a tide
I deep dive every night Stimulate or paralyze Kill the pain
Or seek the light 
And next time I'll live it right

Diving

bandcamp

Harmonie Fields - 01 - Diving

Deeper in
Oh the smell of it
On familiar ground
I bare my skin
There's a thrill in it
This is what I've found
I've become more resilient
I keep my head down
How I long to be rid of everyone
I just walk around this city 
And I never get tired of living light 
And running down time 
It's an irrelevant fate anyway 
All an irrelevant fate
By the time that you hear from me I'll be cut off 
There's no doubt you appear to me 
At my lowest point I have learned how to hide my bread 
And play dead
I don't feel bad
You could say I'm oblivious
A lost boy
But it's my choice
It's an irrelevant fate anyway 
All an irrelevant fate

Harmonie Fields - 02 - An Irrelevant Fate

Do we really know?
I mean really know
I was wondering
Does it show?
How these thoughts come 
And why they should come to me
There's an impulse
In all of us
I suppose
But how much is it controlled? 
All these thoughts come 
But why should they come to me?
An image sewn
A thought has grown
My tongue holds all the weight of the unsaid 
And when I'm read 
Will you have known the meaning I first had? 
These thoughts come 
All long may they come to me

Harmonie Fields - 03 - Some Thoughts

The object of my future unsure
I studied Law and the Humanities 
Every culture with their rituals defined
A unified mind
Yours and mine
Symbols of connection and trust
Their power discussed and studied endlessly 
Differentiate today from the past 
Dust always lasts
Always lasts
I got swallowed up
The land gave way I'll leave here one day 
I have been surpassed 
At last Replaced 
And all in one day
I am a definitive plan 
Transition to man
Fulfill a destiny
Imagine being weightless tonight 
The absence of mass and light 
The immediate is conscious defined 
I tie you to mine
A dark infinity through time 
Remember me

Harmonie Fields - 04 - Ritual Moon

The time it takes to carve out a space To settle your place And put down the broom
To fill your plate
To ponder a face, every day Reflect and consume
When you left me You entered the past A still photograph Dissolved in the gloom Now let nature win Put dirt on the skin
I have been loved by you
In dreams we train
And learn to explain
The body remembers every inch of the womb I'm focusing Observe everything
Like a pimple of salt on the tip of my shoe
Now let nature win Put dirt on the skin I have been loved by you
And everything matters The ripples don't abate And everything shatters But the pieces relate
It's the only thing real that I've ever known I've been at sea for far too long Accepting your help
Along with myself
Brings me relief
A cooling stone
So let nature win
Put dirt on the skin
I have been loved by you

Harmonie Fields - 05 - Vientre

Denizens and spirits
Spread the word
It lives beyond the page
A sound that never fades or dies 
Heralded by Brahmin across the world 
Singing the prayer divine 
Transcend all Human kind
Channel the eternal
The echoing
Pass to another one Another one
Down the line 
Abandon ties to this earthly life 
Leave this earthly life
Disconnect from privilege 
Renounce your fears 
All worldy appetites
The only way that you can fly
Channel the eternal
The echoing
Pass to another one 
Another one
Down the line Abandon ties to this earthly life 
Leave this earthly life

Harmonie Fields - 07 - Chant Eternal

VDS Podcast Nr.022 w/ Mme Bing (Pingipung)

"A selection of records I have been digging in the North of France and Paris for the last months. The mix is influenced by my move last year from Tokyo (Japan) to Roubaix (France). Excited to share these sounds that have been entering my life lately: French and different oriental influenced folk and jazz with often medieval structure elements or instruments. Also one Egyptian and one Japanese record. This collection of tracks has been also inspired by my nomadic like lifestyle lately, travelling a lot, always on the move and encountering talented, raw, honest and inspiring people along the way."

Lyrics 
What have I learned what do I know 
Chasing time only to become 
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head the pressure is warm 
What have I learned what do I know 
Still got to stretch and be someone
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast
Baby I feel slow
Hunger and pride monetised 
Can't see the sky it used to hold 
Baby I’m tired of packing, moving around 
Keep my head up when peace is a fight
Around your waist my arm goes tight 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast 
Baby I feel slow 
Can’t see the sky it used to hold 
I came unbraced 
Body aches in the race
And always someone to cash in on the process 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings

Precious Nothings

Wenn sich eine Band auf schmissige Partyhymnen über den Tod und die Apokalypse versteht, dann The Burning Hell! Die kanadische Formation um Sänger und Songschreiber Mathias Kom hat es im Laufe ihres fast 20-jährigen Bestehens perfektioniert, Songs im Spannungsfeld von fröhlich-düster-melancholisch-komisch zu schreiben und sich dabei genretechnisch nicht festzufahren. Auf „Ghost Palace“ (2024), ihrem mittlerweile zehnten Album, bewegen sich The Burning Hell zwischen Garage-Folk, Lo-Fi-Power-Pop und Ukulele-Balladen und versehen ihre bitterbösen Songs erneut mit allerlei popkulturellen Referenzen. 

Bei ihrem Besuch im ByteFM Studio am 25. April 2025 hat die Band ihren Song „Ghost Palace“ live gespielt.

Fadeaway

Beloved visitors,

Know your roots, appreciate and accept them. I was heavily socialized with European dance music of the 1990s with the whole genre of trance music playing an essential part in my life back then. There's something quite addictive about this mixture of heavy bass-driven beats and trippy synthesizer patterns. Obviously, it's quite a cheesy sound but I recently found myself revisiting some of the music from back then, especially since I fell in love with psy-trance last summer and I should actually be dancing on a festival to this sound these days but since it's the summer of Corona I have to skip that for now. So, instead I produced a mighty throwback mix with some of my personal pop/dance/trance anthems from that specific period of time between 1998 and 2003.

That's the music I listened to in my youth, featuring personal hits and little treasures I recently rediscovered while digging through my personal archives. You can find tracks by producers like Chicane, Blank & Jones, ATB, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, RMB, Above & Beyond and a few more in here... all the big players from that big sounding field of electronic dance music. If you free yourself from certain expectations and, you know, whatever is considered cool these days it's actually fun to enjoy this sort of sound and - well - actually, feel the trance. It's quite an epic adventure but so is the music so the length is fitting. Let me know if you need any ID here. Thanks for joining me on this ride.

All the best
Burnout Sumner
