After our great collab on "Perpetuum Mobile" (https://soundcloud.com/zeitfaktor/perpetuum-mobile-vocal) we decided to work together on this track and I´m really happy and proud about the result. Thanks so much, Mari!
Lyrics and vocals by Mari Kattman

Cascades of shapes
Illuminate your face
Breaking lines and walls
The battles of the human race

Resist control
Escape what you already know
Innocent and bold, 
you’re so
Let the universe control 
your fate

So let go or be dragged
So let go or be dragged

The secret of knowing whats inside
is observing life 
on the outside 
the hum 
the pulse of a live wire
Resides
Resides in all of life
We see things born and then die
But a rush of them still comes from 
somewhere

The hum of live wire

ZEITFAKTOR feat. Mari Kattman - Sunrise (Vocal Version)

The single ‘Redes’ taken the name of album, is available now like a 2nd advance.
The album 'REDES' will be out on September 16 on CD as on all streaming platforms through ad21. 
Pre-save digital now here: https://ampl.ink/RedesAlbum 

"A looping synth arpeggio sets the tone for the calm, contemplative ‘REDES’ while neat orchestral details swim in and out of focus. Mournful brass, spectral woodwind, and extended string notes add depth and emotion, creating a rich mix of textures and moods"

‘REDES’ – it means ‘Networks’ in Spanish – may be a departure from Sanfilippo’s usual, piano-led compositions, but it’s no less captivating or thoughtful. Deeply emotional and tender, it’s one of his most profound works to date – nine tracks full of gentle synth washes, soft intricate details, and warm electronic textures.

"I often", Bruno explains, "tackle universal themes in my music, expressing emotions that aren’t easily defined. We have never been as connected to each other as we are at this point in history. Ephemeral but extensive, our bonds have multiplied thanks to social media and new and fascinating technologies; ‘connectivity’, ‘signal’, ‘followers’, ‘crypto’… We are increasingly defined by those connections and bonds, both real and digital, and ‘REDES’ is my deconstruction of that idea"

The music was written and recorded during winter 2021/22 at Onix II Studio, in his mountain house on the outskirts of Barcelona.

’Global’, first advance from the forthcoming album ‘REDES’. 
This album were written and recorded in winter 2021/2022 in his mountain house-Onix II Studio on the outskirts of Barcelona city. 

“The art of repetition has always been central to Bruno Sanfilippo’s work; loops and short passages of notes creating a hypnotic, mesmerizing soundscape. ‘GLOBAL’ is no different, a thoughtful, serene track that swirls lush synths, strings, and woodwind around a looped synthesizer motif to create the emotional resonance Sanfilippo is so adept at”

Spit You Out

fire h4s no color

“Elegies in Darkness” is the title of the 11th studio album by Diary of Dreams, and the name speaks for itself – the new work couldn’t have been deeper, darker, more organic or more melancholic. All the time, it feels familiar to be lead through the dark compositions of this apocalyptic epic, and yet there’s always the sense of some kind of hope within the darkness, some positive thought, some sincerity. Lyric-wise, four songs come with German words while the rest are in English, and they lead the way through an incredibly eclectic album, mindfully produced with great care for detail – small wonder that it took the band three years to come up with this spectacular masterpiece! But it definitely has been worth the wait …

You’ll dip into deep and viscous soundscapes strengthened by big choirs and massive orchestras, but also into pounding rhythms, touching ballads, pulsating club hymns and apocalyptic grooves. The album thrives on its variety, diversification, power, dynamics, fragility and last but not least on the experience that defines every single note. Adrian Hates – the charismatic voice and song writer of the band – was particularly keen to make sure that the album he calls EiD wasn’t composed within a higher, conceptual setting: he wanted to create an individual history for every track and provide these singular pieces with a common headline to connect and unify them. This work is emotionally song-orientated, while the compositions of the album have a strong connection to each other.

In contrast to the previous record, guitars have reclaimed the role they typically had with Diary of Dreams before: sometimes you don’t even realize that the unusual sounds you’re hearing are brought forth by guitar strings, sometimes they are responsible for the power and dominance of a track, and sometimes they provide the delicate and tender melodies melting skillfully into the whole soundscape. The overwhelming co-existence of synthetic sounds and classical stylistics has always been the main attraction that provides the unusual and extraordinary characteristics of Diary of Dreams. As, without doubt, this new album proves once again.

The band has played more than 500 concerts in 36 different countries … there are only a few bands who can claim such a history, and Diary of Dreams have every right to do so: They live their dream … as darkly beautiful and melancholy it may be.

Buy or steam 'The Main Event' here: https://KingsOfTheRollers.lnk.to/TheMainEventso

Drum & bass heavyweights Serum, Voltage and Bladerunner, aka Kings Of The Rollers have entered the ring once again to deliver a 4-track smasher. Pushing the boundaries of D+B to the ropes, ‘The Main Event’ EP is a flawless infusion of each individual style, creating the perfect storm.

A certified knockout D+B banger with an epic introduction that has been doing damage in raves worldwide, ‘XXX’ kicks off the EP with intriguing synth plucks and a sweeping yet powerfully subtle bassline. Next up is the Circuits Rewire of ‘Burnt Ends’, a deeper take from Kasra & InsideInfo of the iconic tearout bruiser. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any darker, the latest rendition of the game-changing roller packs new punches with twisted melodies and a thumping bassline from these deep D+B standouts.

The elegant piano melodies and the angelic notes of Lydia Plain on ‘Somebody Else’ ease the listener into the second half of ‘The Main Event’. It’s not long before crunchy wobbles and singalong vocals take centre stage. Bubbly yet dark, you’ll certainly want to keep your guard up. Rounding off the EP is ‘Solar Heat’, nostalgic arpeggios rest upon trance inducing pads before modulated reeses and rolling drums kick in to deliver a finishing blow.

On top of cooking up layout anthems, Kings Of The Rollers are renowned for their high energy sets and innovative mixing styles. The trio have headlined an array of festivals and large scale shows across the globe, including their own Royal Rumble event series. ‘The Main Event’ EP was originally destined to accompany their biggest headline show to date at London’s legendary venue Printworks. Sadly due to the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, this event was postponed, but you won’t catch these guys throwing in the towel. They’ll be back with a vengeance, so make sure to keep an eye out for what these three D+B royals have in store…

Kings Of The Rollers - Somebody Else (feat. Lydia Plain)

An all new collaborative release by two exciting Belgian artists:

"The first time we collaborated as a duo was for our interpretation of The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars at les Ateliers Claus. At that time, there was an audience surrounding us. Now secluded and on our own, we went back to the same venue and locked ourself for 2 days arranging and recording the music Ben Bertrand wrote while he was in confinement.

We designed a dense and mineral triptych. Digging into this music, we experienced the current and pressure of the passing time. At some point we saw light coming in. The transformation has already been done, reversion to fundamentals is now our single option." - Ben Bertrand & Otto Lindholm

Ben Bertrand
Ben Bertrand is a Belgian Bass Clarinetist and composer. With his instrument and countless machines, Ben creates his live with a hypnotic web of sounds. Listening to his music is like sitting at the sea, watching a slow motion of our crazy life sailing by. With his former works (Era/Area, Off-Record 2017 and NGC 1999, les albums Claus 2018), Ben toured in Belgium, France and Netherlands (Meakusma Festival, Ancienne Belgique, Le Lieu Unique, Schiev Festival, Le Guess Who?, World Minimal Music Festival). His last album, Manes, has been released in March 2020 in collaboration with Stroom and les albums claus.

Otto Lindholm
Brussels-based composer evolving in drone music and modern classical, Otto Lindholm employs an array of loop pedals and electronic effects in partnership with his double bass to produce a range of rich and voluptuous tones, emotions, and elongated melodies. He released music on Icarus Records, Gizeh Records, Houndstooth, Blackest Ever Black, Aurora Borealis Recordings, Bedouin Records.

A crew of us came together for a project called Tap the flow 24 to raise money for clean water for a Native tribe. We made a song and video all in 24 hours. We decided to re-release the song to raise more money for Natives affected by covid 19. You can donate at our bandcamp site or stream on spotify to support the project.

Life On A Throne

Have you ever been? 

Das ist sicher eine Frage, mit der man sich als Mensch ab und an auseinandersetzt, aber auch ein Text, der 1998 von Bone geschrieben zu unserem ersten Song wurde.

15 Jahre später, um genau zu sein 2013, gründeten wir das Projekt 
"Antz & Bones",  weil uns das Band der Freundschaft und eben auch "Have you ever been" seit fast 20 Jahren zusammenhält. Seit dieser Zeit begleitet uns die musikalische Kreativität.  

Über die Jahre wurde der Drang, wieder gemeinsam Musik zu machen, immer stärker und dabei versuchten wir 300 km Entfernung zu überbrücken, was uns mit unseren ersten Stücken auch gelungen ist.

Wie beschreiben wir nun unsere Musik? Im Grunde ist die Antwort simple: 


Wir machen Musik à la Antz & Bones.


Wir möchten uns, unsere Gedanken und Gefühle auf diese Weise ausdrücken und uns in der musikalischen Gestaltung verwirklichen.

Sicher ist der Himmel nicht immer grau, aber er ist auch nicht immer blau und das spiegelt sich in unseren Songs wider: Von dunkel bis rockig und von der Hoffnungslosigkeit zum Gefühl des Aufbruchs lassen sich düster atmosphärisch elektronische Elemente, wie auch offene Gitarrensoli in unserer Musik finden.

Wir sind stolz auf das bereits Erreichte, zumal "Have you ever been" beim ‚Sonic Seducer Battle of the Bands 2002‘ Platz 30 erreichen konnte und wir lassen uns überraschen wohin uns unser weiterer Weg führen wird.

Was heißt nun eigentlich "Wir"? Wir sind Bone und Andy aus Limbach - Oberfrohna und Berlin.


We are Antz & Bones!

First Rebirth - dark emotional electronic
(dark downtempo/IDM/trip-hop/dark ambient/industrial)

First Rebirth is a one-man project, a journey to the shards of subconsciousness and memory fragments through the prism of emotions. Perhaps someone will find something for themselves in it.

The project has existed since 2005, and its music can be described as "dark emotional electronic", combining elements of various genres, from dark downtempo, IDM and trip-hop to dark ambient, illbient and industrial - beyond any frames and limitations.
The desire to express different shades of mood, the deepest experiences and the strongest impressions of life - what cannot be expressed in words - what's deep inside...

///
"First Rebirth is an eclectic mix of styles, hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies, originality and expression, bare nerve and absolute dedication on stage."

Official releases:
2017 - Abyss Is Calling [Abstrakt Reflections]
2014 - Inner Darkness, Outer Light [Abstrakt Reflections]
2009 - Last Runaway (EP) [Enough Records]
