Berlin-Hamburg duo Session Victim bring their celebrated Sidequests trilogy to a close with Chapter Three on Delusions Of Grandeur, wrapping up the series in signature style—full of warmth, groove and left-of-center touches that remind us why their music has remained so enduring over nearly two decades. Once again blurring the lines between live instrumentation, crate-digging textures and deep house aesthetics, the record feels like both a culmination and a new beginning.

Opening the A-side, Too Soft To Be Loud (Ian Pooley Remix) finds German house pioneer Ian Pooley reworking the original into a sleek, floor-focused roller. Shuffling drums, glowing synth pads, and that distinctive Pooley touch elevate the track into prime late-night territory, striking a balance between hypnotic subtlety and groove-driven energy.

PREMIERE: Session Victim - Too Soft To Be Loud [Ian Pooley Remix]

Session Victim - Rain Or Shine [Delusions Of Grandeur]


Berlin-Hamburg duo Session Victim bring their celebrated Sidequests trilogy to a close with Chapter Three on Delusions Of Grandeur, wrapping up the series in signature style. Full of warmth, groove and left-of-centre touches that remind us why their music has remained so enduring over nearly two decades. Once again blurring the lines between live instrumentation, crate-digging textures and deep house aesthetics, the record feels like both a culmination and a new beginning.
On the A-side, ‘Too Soft To Be Loud (Ian Pooley Remix)’ finds German house pioneer Ian Pooley reworking the original into a sleek, floor-focused roller. Shuffling drums, glowing synth pads, and that distinctive Pooley touch elevate the track into prime late-night territory, striking a balance between hypnotic subtlety and groove-driven energy. ‘Know Less with Viken Arman’ showcases the magic of Session Victim’s continued collaboration with the French producer. A heady, slow burning cut that layers dreamy strings, glitchy keys, and a syncopated bassline, the track unfolds patiently, rewarding deep listeners with moments of spacious beauty and understated intensity.
Flipping over ‘Broken Coast with Viken Arman’ heads into cinematic territory, combining driving drums, delicate Rhodes fragments, and immersive atmospherics. There’s a mysterious, almost soundtrack-like quality here, capturing the ominous mood of an after dark stroll around NYC’s Central Park in the 70’s, while maintaining the unmistakable swing of Session Victim’s grooves. Closing out the trilogy in style ‘Rain Or Shine’  introduces a new collaboration with San Francisco beatsmith Eo (Moniker/ Circus Company), weaving together intricate downtempo rhythms and jazzy vocal chops. Balancing lightness and depth, the track grooves along effortlessly giving off a sun-soaked energy - an uplifting finale to the Sidequests journey.
With Chapter Three, Session Victim deliver yet another set of genre-defying pieces that honour their deep musical roots while pointing toward fresh possibilities. Their chemistry with long-time collaborators, coupled with the ever-trusted Delusions Of Grandeur platform, ensures the Sidequests trilogy will stand as a modern classic in their discography.

PREMIERE : Session Victim - Know Less (feat. Viken Arman)

Session Victim - Broken Coast ft Viken Arman - [Delusions Of Grandeur]

Ein musikalisches Hörspiel der besonderen Art!

Der Protagonist hat seit Monaten nur noch Garnelen im Kopf. Morgens, mittags, abends schwirren die süßen kleinen Dinger in seinen Hirnwindungen und halten ihn nachts vom Schlafen ab. Zum Glück gibt’s Tier- und Naturdokus über ihr werdet es erraten - Garnelen 🦐 

Ein Liebesbrief der keiner ist. Ideal zum einfach knutschen. Am besten anzuhören mit Kopfhörern im Baumhaus!

GU Radio Week 52 with Kevin McKay - Best of 1990s, Pt. 3

As the year draws to a close, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski returns to the show with a tradition that has become a quiet constant: the annual Ambient Special. Now in its eleventh edition, the show once again offers a gentle pause in an otherwise hectic year. Given the current state of the world, 90 minutes of drifting, unobtrusive sound may be just the kind of refuge many are looking for. Take a step back, settle into a calm space, and let the music do the rest. Wishing everyone a peaceful Ambient Christmas.
