Hiver is a project between two minds, a sound designer and a sound engineer. Residents at Milan's Dude Club, Giuseppe and Sergio have released on the likes of Vidab and Curle Recordings.

Their sound is characterised by a well-defined plot of echoing melodies and hypnotic and haunting rhythms, and they have provided us with 70 minutes of house, techno, dub and mental sounds.

Hiver

同じ町に生まれたGiuseppeとSergioはミラノに移り音楽活動を始める。レーベルが彼らのプロダクションに興味を持ち、2012年、Vidab RecordsからファーストEP『A Day』をリリース。その後CurleよりTobiasをフィ－チャーしたEP『Blue Aconite』をリリースし、ヨーロッパ各地からブッキングのオファーを受けるようになる。2014年はDimensions FestivalのPanorama Barやリオデジャネイロでの公演、Vidabからのリリースなど、Hiverにとって重要な年となった。2015年には再びCurle、そしてKann、Appian Sounds、Bokhariからリリース。また2012年から現在までミラノのDude Clubでレジデントを務めている。



-Interview-

-このミックスはどちらで収録したものですか？

ミラノにある僕らのスタジオで、ほぼヴァイナルを使ってレコーディングした。テクニックスのターンテーブル2台とA&H Xone92というベーシックなセットと、Hiverの未発表トラックを含めたデジタル音源用にCDJ1000を使ったよ。


-このミックスのコンセプトを教えてください。

ダンスフロアで、もしくは家で聴きたいって思うレコードをミックスした。今まで盛り上がりを重視したミックスをpodcast用に作ったことは無くて、それよりもスムースなミックスを心がけてる。ハウスとテクノの丁度いいバランスを目指してるんだ。


-最近の活動を教えてください。

機材を新しくしたら新しい音楽への創作意欲が沸いてきて、ここ数ヶ月間スタジオで作業してた。数曲作ったリミックスが来月リリースされることになってる。あと今年CurleからEPをリリースすることも決まってるし、まだ誰にも言えないニュースもいくつかあるよ。

Following the well acclamated release on Curle Recordings “Blue Aconite” EP featuring a Tobias remix, this pair of Italian commenced to get booked all over Europe. 2014 was a determining year for Hiver with sets at Panorama Bar, Dimensions Festival, Gare Porto and in Rio de Janeiro, along with one more EP on Vidab.

Apart from music production, they hold a residency at the prestigious DUDE CLUB Club in Milan since 2012.

Most of the mix includes vinyl, except the first track and the last one which is our own, still unreleased.

We're giving away a piano track we made years ago specially for the Piano Day 2018 - 29th March

Aesthetic Of Time (Piano Day 2018)

As said by the so missed Juno Plus: “The middle ground between US and European electronic music is where the work of Hiver exists”. Echoing hypnotic melodies and haunting rhythms have given form to Hiver's sound. 
They've been defining their aesthetic path, driven by melodic and distant elements slowly evolving in a mould of linear rhythms. Their debut Ep “A Day”, on Vidab Records has been followed by the highly acclaimed “Blue Aconite” Ep, released via Curle Recordings and including a Tobias remix.  
Thanks to this release, Hiver’s name started to be reckon worldwide. Clubs and festival promoters has soon started taking note of their works, as testified by their shows at Panoramabar, Dimensions Festival, Polifonic, ADE, Oval Space,Tresor and tours in Asia, US, South America. 

Based in Milan, they have been playing at the infamous Dude Club as resident and in the meantime, other labels and producers started approaching Hiver with collaboration offers. 
Since then they have issued several releases on the likes of  Curle, Luke Hess’s Deeplabs, Kann, Appian Sounds, Fides, LET Amsterdami and Taped Artifact. In 2019 Peggy Gou featured an Hiver’s track for her compilation on !K7. In 2021 the duo makes a comeback with releases on Polifonic's new label and Sungate Records.
2022 "Wave Sliding" EP on Peggy Gou's GUDU label, a record that both marks and celebrates Hiver’s 10 years of operation. 

Few words regarding their DJ sets..
''Why stick to one genre? We play from house to techno with everything in between. we select for the room, crowd, club, set time and other artist on the bill'' Hiver says..
They are know to be able to deliver an uptempo techno set to an eclectic mellow-vibe.
