Artist: Paul Valentin
Title : Inner Harm EP
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release date: 21/01/2016

Dark Matters, the eclectic imprint founded by Amirali is proud to announce its third release, Paul Valentin 'Inner Harm’ due for release late January 2016 on vinyl and mid February on digital. Growing up in a small village in southern Germany, Valentin was influenced by his musical family. Studying classical guitar himself, he combines acoustic, electronic and field recordings in his music creating cinematic compositions. Valentin’s music feels intensely personal, he cites coincidence as playing a major part in his process, happening upon magical moments in his self-recorded audio data which develop into broader features of the tracks.

‘Inner Harm’ is made up of three original tracks and a remix courtesy of Locked Groove. Inner Harm feat. Search Yiu on vocals is perhaps the most aurally textured on the EP, combining crunching percussion the track builds slowly into a swelling composition. Locked Groove’s remix contains the same swell, looping the vocal and introducing a punching kick drum turning ‘Inner Harm’ into a hypnotic and intense techno
cut.

'Nested Circles’ composition is based around the guitar, Valentin layers sounds, building the track into a sweeping crescendo before settling into an even rhythm.

‘Zugunruhe’ on the other hand, the first track that caught Amirali’s attention, uses piano as its main component. It is the most melancholic on the EP shifting into a broken beat, rich with field recordings and drawn out notes.

Both tracks maintain the use of percussion that enhances the depth of the emotionally charged and complex EP.

Maintaining the intelligent output on the label, 'Inner Harm' sits perfectly amongst the previous two releases.

Lyrics:
The city's fire
Trapped behind the earth
Digging in your deepest dirt

The reddest hue
Reminds you of you
Clinging love and falling true

On and On
All I want is honesty

Tree has snapped
Sparks are flying everywhere
Cables burnt and lines flare

And when the all in all 
Comes falling down
It was just an accident
Something you can't help

On and On
All I want is honesty

Thomas Azier - Angelene (Apolline d'Ash Bedroom Live Cover)

Every now and then we come across a gem hidden in the depths of Soundcloud, unheard and undiscovered, waiting for their music to grace the world's ears. Making soft, soothing, piano laden goodness, we got in touch with Latvian beat maker <a href="https://www.facebook.com/broove"> Broove </a> to kindly ask him to create this week's Slumber Session and boy has he delivered. It's mid-week wind down time. Drift into Broove's dreamscape.

"I had a dream. It was a regular day – with a big, sleepy yawn I stood up from the bed, washed my face, ate a peanut butter sandwich, put up my clothes, and started to pack my bag for the university. When I was ready, I came to the door to open it, but couldn’t do it. Something wasn’t right. I tried to open it again, and only then I saw how my hand went through the door handle. Immediately after realizing that, I found myself lying in the same bed, thinking „What the hell just happened? Was it a dream? It was so real!” I’ve never been so confused in my life. If things in dreams can be as real as in everyday life, then what does ‘real’ even mean?"

Dark Matters is a record label and visual project curated by @amiraliofficial.

With the aim of releasing original material from live acts and Amirali’s own productions, the scope of the label is broad, ranging from techno to abstract pop and ambient.

Dark Matters will also be hosting global events which will fuse live performances and visuals that express the dark and psychedelic concept behind the label.

By the very definition of the term Dark Matters, the label aims to initiate a response from listeners and partygoers. It serves as a connection to galaxies, the mysteries of the universe, the beginning of a concept bigger than we can imagine.

The imprint will continue to cultivate, maintaining a commitment to unearthing and displaying new talent as well as exhibiting Amirali's refined musical statement.
