Summer is flying by and it's time for our next compilation again. This time we have put together a large selection of artists for you whose sound we have been liking lately.

Downtempo is a very diverse music genre with many different styles and directions. As always, we want to address all these influences we like with our compilation and bring them under one roof. So there should be something for everyone on this release, whether to chill out on an open air or inside in the fog of the night.

We are very grateful to have represented so many different and talented musicians on our label and we would like to thank all artists involved. Especially our Mastering Engineer Haunted Water & Kilian Van De Water for the gorgeous Artwork again.

Pimp Pandas - So Many Times (Judith Ahrends ReVox)

Null Acht Fünfzehn, a German expression pointing out how average or mediocre something is. Not worth mentioning let's say.. which is an exact contradiction of what they have done with their brand new EP.

Consisting of members from Brigade and Kahl & Kamaena, this Berlin threesome hooked up 2 years ago and used their time to perfect the art of creating subtle music with maximum efficiency.

Although they may present it as somewhat underwhelming and not too serious, what these three buddies have to offer is nothing less than impressive. Slowed down, ghostly yet truly effective electronic work that's ready to fog up the dance floor.

On top of that, this EP is accompanied by two terribly efficient and different remixes. YokoO heads up the dubby techno path, while Blindsmyth goes for the jugular with a stripped and clubbed out rendition of the single track Null Acht Fünfzehn.

Release Title:  Raumschiff auf Rast
Artist: Ryan Haeng (https://soundcloud.com/ryanhaeng)
Label: Heimlich Musik (https://soundcloud.com/heimlichaufsc)
Catalogue No.: HMLEP022
Release-Date: 10.12.2021
Info: Info: https://heimlich.fanlink.to/hmlep022

Hamburg‘s Ryan Haeng is debuting on Heimlich Musik for the label‘s 22nd release, marking the producer‘s first-ever full-length EP. Get ready for five massive original cuts, plus remixes by Metatext & Karhua, Zoe Reijue, and Heimlich Musik veteran AVEM.

The original cuts come with punchy bass drums and lurking basslines, giving new meaning to the word ‚dark‘. On the top end of the sonic spectrum, Ryan Haeng adds arpeggios, eclectic pads, and detuned synths for a unique touch, sprinkled with recorded instrumental samples.

Metatext & Karhua’s extended remix of ‚Bieroase‘ emphasizes the original‘s hypnotic side with melancholic keys as the track‘s centerpiece, while Zoe Reijue’s interpretation of ‚Seidl‘ is built on powerful drums embedded in organic percussionwork and playful synth snippets. AVEM’s acid-inspired remix of ‚Raumschiff auf Rast‘ convinces with an intense build-up leading into a satisfying climax, combining his unique trademark grooves with an underlying massive bassline construct. Ryan Haeng’s debut on Heimlich comes with a bang that is much more than just a first lucky punch.

Bianco & Schlemann - Morning After

Breathe Again

INTERSTATE (SAT NOV 15) INSTRUMENTAL

The darkest days are behind us, and here comes a little solstice present from me: my first real original production, as a free download.

In the past months I've spent more time in the studio and less time behind (or in front of) a DJ booth, and while I still have a lot to learn, I'm happy to have gotten here where things (begin to :P) sound as I want them to. The backbone of this is based on my first full immersion in analog gear.

A special thanks to @baladevabalarama for the very constructive feedback during the process.

Happy listening - and if you like what you hear, send it onwards <3
