Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

This skill reflects the depth and breadth of Roth’s production experience. He learnt piano from a young age and bought his first synthesizer in his late teens. Around the same time he dived headfirst into Frankfurt’s underground, spending his weekends submerged in the sounds and selections of Sven Väth and Culture Beat’s Torsten Fenslau at institutions like Omen and Dorian Gray. When Roth began playing local clubs, Frankfurt’s melancholic influence impacted his music and has remained ever since, regardless which genre he’s turned his hand to.

‘Mono No Aware’ is the second album released on Reflections, and is a further exploration of Roth’s analog past. Martin released his first low-tempo LP ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’ in 2020 and says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which translates to ‘an awareness that everything fades away.’

Roth’s ambition for ‘Mono No Aware’ is that it touches the listener in the same way his first album did. “When I released An Analog Guy In A Digital World, suddenly I received messages from people all over the world,” Roth says. “They were long, heartfelt, heartbreaking messages, about how a certain track supported them through the hardest moments of their lives. The people who write these messages have no idea how much they are supporting me, so I hope the music on Mono No Aware touches people in the same way.”

Mono No Aware is out now on Reflections.

Croquet Club follows up the release of his debut album ‘Fugue In Twilight’ with a selection of instrumentals, taking the title track, 'Slowly', 'Swirl', and 'Mother Earth' into new chill out worlds.

The album is slow-moving and reflective; created free of ego, comparison, chasing and striving. It’s a compelling and cinematic body of work that will cement Croquet Club’s reputation as a gifted, authentic and unique electronic music producer.

Jeremy started working on 'Fugue in Twilight' in early 2022. After so much time away from the Croquet Club project, he felt the pressure was off and expectations had dissipated. As he re-entered his studio and captured threads of ideas, he felt ready to return to the Croquet Club project for the right reasons; the ones he started with in the first place.

Jeremy treated his process delicately. Every day before he entered the studio, he meditated for close to an hour to turn inwards and reach a non-judgemental state of consciousness. This became a crucial part of the songwriting process.

He then channelled that energy into his creative process. “I’d get down to the studio, turn on the synthesiser or pick up the guitar, and start to play. And most of the time, I’d just play and nothing would happen. And sometimes something happened, and I’d record it.” He did this for about two months, saving threads of ideas, and reviewed everything all at once to see what had potential. “And then I made choices,” Jeremy says. “I deleted stuff, I kept some stuff, and when I had a batch of nice ideas, I worked an extra day on each one of them.”

This meticulous, self-assured and heartfelt process is what makes up the new album 'Fugue In Twilight'. The authenticity and purity seeps through every note, key and melody, pouring from one heart to another. The first single on the album is ‘Slowly’, about the human need for love, solace and intimacy. Jeremy layers his own vocals with hazy keys and nostalgic guitar, alongside lyrics about solitude and our relationship with ourselves.

Jeremy recorded the entire album as if it were live, playing every instrument himself without any loops. “It took a long time,” he says. “I had to write the music, write the lyrics, rehearse every instrument, record each part one by one, then mix it myself.”

Jeremy did it all himself for the experience. “It was like crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a rowing boat,” he says. “I could take the ferry, I could take the plane, but I chose to challenge myself and see how far I can go.”

Summer Melody is back with the new installment of our Intertwines EP series, showcasing new and upcoming artists in a pair of two, and starting their own fusion towards the label. Our 12th installment includes two melodic tracks, from artists hailing from UK and Finland respectively, who are both label returning artists. A special installment that includes two returning artists, for a reason.

Starting the release, we welcome back the uprising Mark Moncrieff with Paper Cranes! Mark debuts through Summer Melodies Vol.8 back in 2021, and since then he has been releasing several originals and remixes on Summer Melody, as well as on Emergent Shores, Synth Collective and Dynamic Progressions. Paper Cranes is his first release of 2025 from this uprising artist, and already back to his own roots of nostalgic and melodic sounds. A delicate track filled with hope and dreams of future, like the Paper Cranes hanging for good luck and fortune.

The other side of this release also welcomes back another uprising artist, DTALM with Life Support. Darryn aka DTALM debuts with the remix of Leonety's Infarntalana back in 2020, and has released two original releases on the label, plus originals and remixes on Alter Ego Progressive and Soluna Music in the recent years. Stepping out of the boundaries of melodic progressive, Life Support provides with a club and energetic side of progressive. A captivating track that explores outside of the usual melodic progressive sounds, that difference provides a spot for DTALM to return to the label.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful pair of returning artists on the Intertwines series, with Mark Moncrieff and DTALM!

Eternal Stillness II

Two years have been passed since Dae Kim’s debut effort, "Solace", was released. In need of diversion, he drew attention to circumstances that was unusual to his forte, ranging from producing for singer-songwriters to several yet to be released projects. The exploration, in which allowed him to diversify and improve his compositional ability and musicianship that obeys electro-acoustic driven solo efforts, ended with Dae’s latest single, Clemency (Memoir Music label). To embellish his carefully curated discography, he returns with the latest EP entitled, “Redemption”.

To quote Dae, “Three months of grieve and isolation has gifted me with three beautiful songs. They were two years more mature and wiser than my debut album. A work that held its obedience to the writer’s instinct holds honesty, that is incomparable. I proudly present the EP with full ride and confidence, and that there are nothing more to change and polish. I won’t touch even a single note”.

This EP was mastered by Tokyo renowned mastering engineer / recording artist Chihei Hatakeyama.
