Oilst & Ben Jarli - Chasing Rabbits EP

Friendship, kinship, and a common passion for diverse shades of electronic music, set four creative spirits on an adventurous quest: a spontaneous collaboration. 

A studio session became a truly fruitful birthday gift, and what began with the sole and humble ambition of having a good time skinny-dipping in synths & sounds, soon evolved into a harmonic workflow that none of them could have anticipated.                                                                        

An outburst of rhythmic elements, a gloomy atmosphere, and a sparkling breakbeat on top of a rolling bassline make Obsidian a tune that resembles an obscure volcanic rock - fossilized lava that preserves its natural force, energy and heat. 

As a senior stonemason, Bernstein transforms the original’s dark timbres into a driving and bubbly gem, a shining spherolite in a flowstone cave. With their urgent, hypnotic indie dance interpretation, ki ya tori take the original to the floor without further ado. In the spirit of reductionism, Avsluta displays slick skills in layering strata of the original with subtle refinements. Her high-carat ambient version rounds off this EP as a coherent, yet versatile collection of precious stones.

Ben Jarli x Howlong_____ambach festival 22

We can barely imagine a better start to the new year.
For our 21st release "Obsidian" many friends pulled together. The EP features one original track and three remixes. The original track "Obsidian" was co-composed by Sun Drine, Dit:eau, Ben Jarli and TrickyJones.

Friendship, kinship and a common passion for many shades of electronic music made these four creative spirits set foot on an adventurous trail: a spontaneous collaboration.

A studio session makes a fruitful birthday gift, and what started with the sole and humble ambition of having a good time skinny-dipping in synths & sounds, soon evolved into a harmonic workflow that none of them could have anticipated.

An outburst of rhythmic elements in a gloomy atmosphere and a rolling bassline carrying a sparkling/flamboyant breakbeat make Obsidian a tune resembling an obscure igneous rock - petrified lava that preserves its natural force, energy and heat for those special occasions.

As a senior stone mason infamous for his fine sonic carvings, Bernstein transforms the original's dark timbres into a driving and bubbly gem, a shining spherolite in a flowstone cave.
With their fierce and powerful interpretation, ki ya tori take the original to the floor, without further adue.
In the spirit of adept reductionism, avsluta's ambient mix rounds this EP off to a coherent yet versatile whole.

a close circle of friends in purple hills.
a weekend devoted to hedonism and tunes,
worries left in the valley.
life can be so good.

not long ago, in the north of zurich, howlong and ben jarli have teamed up to take you on a racy joyride on their flying shetland ponies.

be it rumbling, edgy, bumpy or sketchy, they bend it + blend it like proper tone bandits – no strings attached.

“Chasing Rabbits” on Keller is Oilst & Ben Jarli's debut EP. They have developed an eclectic style of downtempo, blending inspiration from a broad spectrum of genres. The three original tracks featured on this EP share a distinctive analogue sound design, and a dark, yet warm timbre.

The EP also includes two remixes of the title track. The first is an epic contribution from the up-and-coming live act O/Y, where the original’s signature acid bassline evolves into immersive ambient soundscapes. The second is a serotonin fuelled festival anthem by Molto, a promising offspring of the Keller stable.
