Direct, haunting contribution for the @schimmerrecords Ukraine Fundraiser VA.

As Putin's Invasion continues, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is deteriorating by the day.
Civil Deaths are increasing, millions of innocent people are on the run.
Each passing day, Russian forces rage on, destroying Ukrainian cities, shattering the lives of millions of people ..and there's no end in sight.

Showing cohesion and solidarity is now more important than ever.

It goes without saying that we as Schimmer Records are supporting the Ukrainians and tackle the crisis by all our available means.
In addition to signing petitions, attending demonstrations, sharing facts and using our voice to create widespread and sustained awareness of the situation, we decided to raise funds to support the people in Ukraine directly.

We must also express special thanks to Clasps.
Clasps is an Ukrainian citizen who is sitting in Kyiv right now and agreed on mastering the submitted tracks. We have chosen him so we can donate the costs of the creation process to a person that shares the same interests as we do and is in need of help more than ever. 

100% of the revenue will be donated to:
savelife.in.ua/en/

CARMEN

Burning Sand

Following a first iteration which set the tone for our newly-minted Heimat series in explosive fashion, here comes the much anticipated second batch of our zeitgeistian take on today’s scene’s, its current potential and destination. Showcasing productions from artists keen to roll up their sleeves and sail into the impassible status quo, this new number packs the kind of red-hot hammering and cutting-edge punch we’ve been so adamant to push and defend over the past decade.

Berlin-based French producer Arkan steps in first with a proper magnetic depth charge. Dwelling the darker layers of our ocean floor as its name suggests, ’Submarine’ is pure hypnotic material geared up for heavy-duty boogie in the warehouse. Filling its ballast tanks with a hefty deluge of muscular bass onslaughts, sonar-like bleeps and untamed cascades of loopy arps, this one rolls and pitches like a haunted ship on predator mode. Adding his dynamic pulse and mind-bending spin to the A-side, Frameworks & Untertwegs bossman Decka cuts a path of straight mental obliteration as he smashes the doors of the club wide open and parades all guns blazing with the unapologetic crusher that is ‘Circumvent’. A no-holds-barred workout for the strong stomachs, churning out fiery bars of kick-drum/squelchy bass contrast with in-your-face swagger.

Switching on to the flip side, there’s Manchester’s Yant cruising with the ebulliently dynamic (no shit, Sherlock) tune, ‘Moving’. A multidirectional concerto of pong-like modularity and racing synth arpeggios flying off like coloured bricks in a Tetris game gone absolute batshit. The kind of hi-intensity burner that’ll awaken any lukewarm mid-set flow with its bouncy unpredictability and ruthless forward-pushing thrust. Rounding it off on a further minimal note, Amsterdam up-and-comer Hitam treats us to an inch-perfectly engineered finale with a stripped-back - yet, absolutely not hollow - bomb, ‘Venusian Winds’. Gutsy that one sure is, with its metronomic step ticking at near-cyclonic speed and cleverly arranged, subtly FX-coated funk keeping things both suspenseful and focussed thru and thru. A sleek combo of pared-down brutalism and masterly executed analogue tailoring altogether.

All dressed in clear purple marbled wax for the occasion, "Heimat II" shall please both the techno purist and visual aesthete in you with its velvet touch and effortless chic.
