The Calvert Journal Mixtapes

Keeping our promise for fresh and active artists and projects, Geheimnis Records now brings you the second compilation of bands and artists who are taking their first musical steps and request our attention and appreciation. This time the material doesn't only focus on Greek artists. 5 are from France, Germany and Austria. Some of them have already released their first album or cassette tape, while others share their music through Bandcamp, YouTube and Soundcloud and this compilation is their first official discography. Geheimnis Records would like to thank them all for offering their music. Those who did it for the first time, those who provided a special edition of their song and those with whom we have collaborated in the past and still entrust their material to Geheiminis Records. 
“Hante.” is the solo project of Hélène de Thoury, the one half of the French duet “Minuit Machine”. She released her debut single on December 2014, and is about to release her debut album in the Summer of 2015. “Kristal Ann” is the voice of the Greek duet “Paradox Obscur”. She also has her own project (under her name) and the song “Killing Jokes” is written especially for this compilation, while her other song “Ashes of Hope” comes from her debut cd-album. “Monowelt” come from Berlin, Germany. Marta Raya and Daria Leere started recording songs last year and have played together since 2012. They have entrusted their soon to be completed debut album to our label. “Koma Koma” come from Vienna, Austria. Genio Revox, Davyd Mitma and Wolfgang Gray play their impressive guitars and accompany them with dark-deep vocals. This is their first release on a musical format. “Paradox Obscur” come from Rhodes Island, Greece. Kristal Ann sings and composes while her partner Toxic Razor plays, composes and experiments with many different styles and genres. “23rd Underpass” are the brain-child of Costas Andriopoulos who started the group back in 2008-2009. After some setbacks during those formative years, he found a steady vocalist in the face of Nadia Vassilopoulou and released a full-album last year. “Aga Wilk” is a female solo project from Berlin, Germany. Disco-Experimental sounds with Techno elements. The version of her song can be found only on this compilation.  She is expected to release her debut album in the Spring of 2015. “Minuit Machine” come from Paris, France. Last year Hélène de Thoury and Amandine Stioui released a successful debut album. The song on this compilation is a special remix exclusive to this compilation. The person behind the project “Impersonate or Die” is an artist named Nick Stonem. He comes from Athens, Greece and his aggressive Synth-Punk songs find their way onto vinyl grooves for the first time. Last but not least, “Regressverbot” from Thessaloniki, Greece are already known from their participation in our previous “No Radar” compilation. A full-length album is on the cards and has been scheduled for release on Geheiminis Records later this year or early 2016. 
The compilation will be out in late June – early July 2015, in 300 hand-numbered vinyl copies, half of them in black and half in transparent blue, including an insert with lyrics, photos and details.

Impersonate Or Die - Spiegel

after all the hours
after all the days
after all the months
after all decades

i'm quiet

after all the years
after centuries
after peaceful nights
after daily fights

i'm quiet

after billions of faces
after all the miles
after all light years
after doomsday fears

we're quiet

after all the space
after all the time

it is quiet

quiet

Set against a backdrop of the dreamy mountains of Labëria in southern Albania, Washed by the Moon, British/German filmmaker Dan Shutt’s directorial debut, is a rich journey through the region’s musical history.

Ahead of the film's premiere on 13 September at Calvert 22 Foundation, we invited Dan Shutt to compile a mix that best encapsulates the Albanian tradition of polyphonic singing.

Monotronique 'MAAAAAAD' out now on cassette and digitally:
BANDCAMP: https://hyperboloid.bandcamp.com/album/maaaaaaad
ALL STORES: https://orcd.co/monotronique
 
Monotronique is an Ukrainian producer and DJ from Kharkiv (UA). His production is characterized by a distorted minimalistic vibe with a bass music inuence. From heavy basses and 2step-like drums to ambiance landscapes and electro beats. In his performances he is able to amalgamate pure and raw passion with a textbook technique; this combination is also what is behind his prolic production. Previously released on Opal Tapes and Shared Meanings among other labels, Monotronique debuts on Hyperboloid Records with 'MAAAAAAAD' 
 
In this album Monotronique was interested in a new kind of sound and focusing on creation of specific atmosphere inside.the sound. MAAAAAAAD is based on different sides of bass music with detours through dance-hall and house. When put together all genres mutate and interconnect into funny and mad atmosphere, hence the title of the album. Monotronique wanted to achieve this with synths and a certain way of mixing  tracks, adding to the final mix a kind of a "wet" sound. A special effect as if you were listening to the music in a room full of toys, balls and balloons, a sonic journey to the amusement park.

Artist: cadeu
Title: hy
CAT: HYPR084
Release Date: 28 Aug 2020
Release type: Limited Cassette / Digital (all formats)
Mastering by A.Fruit
Artwork by cadeu

cadeu has been collaborating with Hyperboloid for almost 5 years. During this time, the musician managed to explore completely different paths in sound design and production. From the emptiness and fragmentation of the 'de' album to experiments on format compositions on 'un'. Hyperboloid is always open to the experiments of his wards, which allowed the author to try out a variety of ideas in the search and understanding of his own sound and approach to electronic music in general. So, on 'hy', an album named after the label, cadeu doesn't try to put any heavy conceptual forms on the tracks, but rather plays with space, snatches of musical phrases and blocks of composition. The result is an intricate, but comprehensible sound pattern at the same time, with references to different styles - be it bass, IDM, glitch or jungle. As always, cadeu's music is difficult to characterize with genre clichés - 'hy' can be both a club and home thing, or just a fan piece. Tracks can be safely put in sets, you can walk to them with headphones or thoughtfully explore this diverse sound canvas.

cadeu сотрудничает с Hyperboloid уже почти 5 лет. За это время музыкант успел исследовать совершенно разные пути в саунд-дизайне и продакшне. От пустоты и фрагментарности альбома 'de' до опытов над форматными композициями на 'un'. Hyperboloid всегда открыт экспериментам его подопечных, что позволило автору опробовать самые разные идеи в поиске и понимании собственного звука и подхода к электронной музыке в целом. Так, на 'hy' [хай], альбоме названном в честь лейбла, cadeu не пытается натянуть на треки какие-либо тяжелые концептуальные формы, а скорее играет с пространством, обрывками музыкальных фраз и блоками композиции. Получается замысловатый, но в то же время понятный для восприятия звуковой узор, с отсылками к разным стилям, будь то bass, глитч, IDM или джангл. Как и всегда музыку cadeu сложно охарактеризовать жанровыми клише - 'hy' может быть и клубным и домашним, и просто фановым произведением одновременно. Треки можно смело ставить в сетах, гулять под них в наушниках или вдумчиво исследовать это многообразное звуковое полотно.
