Hello world !!! 

We are very happy to introduce you to DISTANT ECHOS. 
 Founded by producer/composer Alex Niggemann (AEON) and Singer/Songwriter Fabian Kuss (YEAH BUT NO), the brand new label will set out to be a bastion of quality, featuring bands & artists from a broad musical church with leanings towards Electronica and Neo Pop.

DISTANT ECHOS kick off their journey with the debut EP from Maltese Duo KNTRL.  The “JUST WORDS“ EP delivers a vibe that delves boldly into the dark edge and mood of the eighties but is tinged with a radio-friendly pop sensibility.


KNTRL: „The process was quite a long one. This EP started in 2019, and all three tracks were planned to be instrumental. At the very early stages, all I knew was that it had to have dark tones with a human feel which is always very important for me. With this EP I also wanted to use my external synths and drum machines as much as possible.
The lyrics came at a later stage and Matthew was the most sensible choice. His experience helped shape the tracks a lot and gave a much-needed pop vibe to the whole sound.“  Alex Niggemann’s danceable 4-to-the-floor remake, which finds its musical inspiration in the worlds of contemporary Italo and Indie Dance vibes, rounds up this fantastic debut EP.

Previously KNTRL’s sound was almost introverted electro-pop mostly listened to by underground ambient//electronic lovers.
Just words EP aims to move past that & appeal to a wider range of audiences ranging from the alternative to Indie-Dance.

We are happy to announce the Debut EP of the Berlin based band duo YEAH BUT NO. „The Shadow Self“ is an album project from the newly assembled band who’s declared aim is to allow its listeners a deeper understanding of music. The multilayered sound savours the melancholic spectrum; deeper and darker tones set the perfect stage for profound lyrics. 

„Electronic music is our background.“, Alex says. „We linked classic song structures with distinctive, immersive sounds that open up a world for Fabian’s lyrics.“ The lyrics capture perfectly these fragile, dark emotions that move us unconsciously - may it be the loss of love, disappointment or an unhealthy, dark obsession. 

The original version of „Perished“  and „Curse“ are accompanied by remix version from no one less than Trikk and Mathias Schober.  The internationally acclaimed producer and DJ Trikk - not only known for his work with Dixon & Âme’s Innervisions label, but also as a representative of the next generation of underground house music - hits the nail on the head with his interpretation of „Perished“. Keeping the melancholic mood of the original, he managed to create a super catchy and grooving 4-to-the-floor version. The remix is already being hyped since its first plays on DJ’s sets from Dixon, Mind Against, Denis Horvat, Agoria, Adriatique, Alex Niggemann & Trikk himself.

Mathias Schober is an artist artist with an exceptional sense of clarity and presence in his work. His reworks of „Curse“ lay to focus on the vocal and create a stripped back, spacious and dub influenced fundamental. The instrumentation eerie enough to accompany the lyrics, the groove strong enough to work on its own.
 
The album "The Shadow Self“ is released in several parts on DISTANT ECHOS  - a new label that defines itself as a bastion of quality and a broad musical variety with leanings towards Electronica and Neo Pop. The label kicked off their journey with the debut EP from Maltese Duo KNTRL “JUST WORDS“, which was released on the 6th of August.

Berlin pairing Yeah But No return to Distant Echos this December with The Shadow Self II. Terr and Echonomist feature as remixers on this installment and the release marks the second addition of The Shadow Self series, fresh from the success of part one in October.

The pair described what each track represents, stating: “Going Down is a political statement towards everybody out there that sees his / her rights of self-determination. We take up the cudgels for all the people fighting for their elementary rights. Veneer symbolises a close friend, who I watched spiral downwards into the dark black. It is incredibly difficult to watch someone slip further and further, until you no longer recognise them.”
Going Down starts with stirringly-beautiful vocals, opening neatly into gentle key chimes that leave us feeling euphoric and pensive in one. Terr soon raises the tempo, curating six minutes of pumping electronica before Veneer takes us to a place of serenity. Chords unfurl into a poignant lyrical offering, as Echonomist’s remix soon arrives with melodic undertones and whirring synth combos.

Yeah But No is now the collaborative project of Fabian Kuss alongside AEON founder Alex Niggemann. Influenced by hypnotic techno and great pop music, the duo are carving out a haunting sound that is perfectly evidenced in their latest production series: The Shadow Self. From their eponymous debut album in 2017, to the success of their second LP two years later, Demons, this new series sets them up for a highlight 2021 that has seen the likes of Dixon, Mind Against and Adriatique support part one already this year.

After the success of The Shadow Self I, II & III - including remixes by Trikk, Terr, Echonomist & Ivory - Berlin-based duo Yeah But No will release Part IV, the final installment of their The Shadow Self series, on Distant Echos in June.

With Hurricane, Yeah But No describes the emotional abysses of a toxic relationship. "You want to fight back, to break off contact, but you succumb again and again to the disturbing sexual attraction of your affair - in the mind, reason and desire argue." - Yeah But No
In Hurricane, intimate vocals contrast with massive trip-hop beats. As a listener, you're caught between aversion and a strange fascination that fully discharges in the chorus. Deetron's remix delivers an emotional yet punchy version for the dancefloor. Musumeci takes the original into a slightly more euphoric world - supported by his typical Italo and Indie Dance influences.
The Shadow Self IV contains - like The Shadow Self III - an orchestral version of the original, which not only gives the track a new interpretation, but also underlines the complexity of the productions.

Yeah But No - Hurricane

Fresh from the success of The Shadow Self II last December, which featured Terr and Echonomist as remixers, Berlin duo Yeah But No will release on Distant Echos once again this April with The Shadow Self III. The lead track, Keep Running, picks up where Run Run Run left off: the pair’s 2019 offering that was remixed by Keinemusik linchpin Adam Port.

"With Keep Running, we tell the story of a lost person - in pursuit of social perfection, a life full of constraints and walls - far away from real desires. The only thing that remains is the escape from the self, through an endless labyrinth of wrong decisions. The lyrics continue on from Run Run Run, relating to an inner demon that makes us run away from situations we should really confront.” - Yeah But No.

Keep Running takes the form of a strikingly beautiful cut, as poignant vocal offerings leave us in a state of starry-eyed reflection. Percussive elements build gently, providing a staggered, slow-building rhythm that enhances the moving nature of the title track. An acoustic version comes next, further amplifying Keep Running’s organic nature, before Ivory’s Euphoria Mix takes on a more dancefloor-inspired edge with hard-hitting kick-hat pairings.

Yeah But No is the collaborative project of Fabian Kuss and AEON founder Alex Niggemann. Influenced by hypnotic techno and great pop music, the duo are carving out a haunting sound that is perfectly evidenced in their latest production series: The Shadow Self. The second edition drew support from some of electronic music’s most esteemed artists, including Dixon, Mind Against and Adriatique to name a few, laying the foundation for a similarly successful release on The Shadow Self III.
