Are we sliding back into an age of great imperial powers in which territories are once again gaining in importance? Putin's war confronts us in a shocking way with these fantasies of omnipotence of imperial rule that we thought were long outdated.

Due to the terrible situation in which the people from Ukraine find themselves, we are donating all profits from our vinyl and digital record sales to the initiative "Spendenbrücke Ukraine", which is doing an incredibly good job here in Berlin.

The initiative is responding to the wave of solidarity, the numerous offers of help from Berliners. The "Spendenbrücke-Ukraine" is a contact point for voluntary commitment as well as for donations in kind and money to support the people affected by the Ukraine war. Further information: www.spendenbruecke-ukraine.de

You can pay a minimum amount for the releases or more, just as you like. In both cases the following applies:
The amount you pay for the release will be donated, minus Paypal and Bandcamp fee. If you buy vinyl, an additional 5 euros will be retained. Five euros are the production costs per record incurred by the pressing plant.

Stay healthy and solidary

The techno formation Huellkurve releases their first EP on 12 inch vinyl. The dark psychedelic mood of the EP is the result of a one-shot recording session on the outskirts of Berlin in 2018. The seclusion from bustling Berlin, coupled with a musical focus on bands like Neu! and Can, leads to a cross-genre sound that moves somewhere between techno and heavy ambient, flavored with a pinch of acid. To capture the dynamics of the tracks, and as a tribute to the precursors of electronic music, four tracks have been released on 12" vinyl.

Arne Kappen grew up in Berlin, surrounded by Techno culture, but regrettably oblivious to it for most of his life. His interest in electronic music sparked late but quickly grew into a veritable passion. It started through the detour of building a DJ controller that never worked. Skipping the whole idea of DJing Arne went straight to drum machines and synthesizers. His setup now contains modular and desktop synths. He started playing live as part of the duo Anoserica teaching himself music production whenever he could find the time. His motivation was always fed by a curiosity to understand audio technology, experiencing the music and its culture on the dancefloor, and by learning about its origins and evolution. Now, he feels, he is ready to contribute a part of his own.
The EP is permeated with the feeling of instability, thus the name "unstet" - German for "unsteady". The tracks are minimalistic, detailed electronic ventures inspired more by spurious personal sentiments than rigid concept. The title track Unstet is about the feeling of barely maintaining a stable direction during times of rushing changes. At the Mercy of a Stranger's Gaze reflects on the visceral feeling of only perceiving oneself through others. The Throws restlessly shifts focus, never really settling.
Forward-facing in rhythm and melody, the EP offers meticulously-produced techno tracks. Emphasizing a driven mood, a feeling of being rushed and approaching one's limits.

Huellkurve // Melodic Techno Live Set // Hyperscreen Festival 2020

We are happy to present the Intumi Podcast 011 with a live set by Huellkurve recorded for the Digitalanalog Festival in October.

The Berlin based duo has its roots in electro-acoustic dance music as well as in stoner and kraut-rock. They are constantly on a sonic voyage, producing new sounds and tracks they then use as a frameworks for their live sets – arranging them differently and changing them on the fly. 
In 2019 they released their debut 12″ EP ‘huellkurve’ and became co-founders of the collective @sonicgroundberlin.

Enjoy this podcast which brings a nice balance between techno and electro, mixed with trance and house elements, flavored with a pinch of acid.
