Jonathan Kaspar finally returns to Kompakt via his upcoming Umfang EP. Ahead of the release, we are giving you a first teaser to the EP with the premiere of B1 "Am Raster".

KOMPAKT PREMIERE: Jonathan Kaspar - Am Raster

20.09.22

Suzi is excited to announce its first EP “Too” from NYC based artist Downstairs J who recently released his debut record on Incienso. 

Downstairs J has a unique way of using detailed minimalistic sounds that feel organic and sharp at the same time. 
His trademark “friendly chilled-out vibe” can be found in the opening and closing tracks of the record; “Soothsayer”’s slight digital-romance vibe gently starts the record ; “Mana4000” and “Orion” tracks reveal a newer straight forward club side of the producer; the A2 track is a tasty tech-house groover with an incredible amount of sharp bleepy details and B1 “Orion” is a playful crossover between house tech and trance elements. While “Symbiosis” ends the record with a warm and constantly growing flame that feels like an everlasting floating momentum. 

An overall unique, intimate and adventurous record that rounds up perfectly the very first EP of the label.

The visual artwork has been designed by Klara Troost.

V.A - GLOME [ 1 ] [IOGL:001 / IO]

Produced by Niklas Bühler aka Delusional Circuits
Mastered by Niklas Bühler at Klangstellwerk
Artwork by Carmen Maria Schweiger aka Ohneweil
Released by IO from Munich, Germany
Release Date : September 14th. 2022

Rumble round
umbel deepmouthed
release wave warbled
sound catches me unaware on time
in wide warm wash
that sits atop the hiss
of sticks sizzling cymbalrim
to describe an orbit as heavy and thick
as Jovian morning

landing on air
vaporfoot
crisp sharp sheer
shard-to-spark
a wild run
toward a clutch of key
to ope-a-door
that was open
all along

drawn down quarter corridors of notes
cottonmouthed and close
to the far-far finding fins
fast-formed to ferry me

found mown,
chipped as a witch‘s ring,
pulsepasted
pure and un-reified,
pulled apart,
parsed
by the protean eminence
whose sound finds colour
in my bones

2022 looks quite busy for our fellow NY-er, Aspetuck, who has a new long player called 'Inanimate Distraction Object' coming out on beloved Jeju-Island-based record label, Oslated. 
The album is inspired by the experience of becoming a new parent - the process of coping with constant change & learning to deal with a loss of independence contrasted with the beauty of watching a baby grow & observe the world around them. These songs serve as a sort of diary for Aspetuck, which has been a recurring theme throughout his time releasing music. Various field recordings of baby toys can be heard subtly throughout the album. 

'Bubbles,' our premiere for today, has an infectious groove that instantly catches the listener's attention, but it's the melancholic pads and catchy bass line symbiosis that does the magic during this voyage. Both elements create a feeling of warm undercurrents and tranquility, which, when layered with Aspetuck's signature rumbling groove, make quite a pleasurable ride. 
"Inanimate Distraction Object" LP exhibits Aspetuck's fine development as an artist and is arguably his most mature release yet. 
The album is coming out via Oslated on September 19th

Inanimate Distraction Object

PREMIERE: Aspetuck - Bubbles [Oslated]

Rødhåd and .Vril’s second collaborative LP is a continuation of their previous 2020 album in exploring artefacts that exist inexplicably out of their time and place.  It is a fascinating album of lush, intricate, and meditative sound that has fun playing with genre, structure, and the sonic codes that locate music in social space.  From the spacious, dubby drum & bass inflections of ‘Nimbus MM’ to the jittery, anxious techno of ‘Nibiru,’ there is a lot to explore on this album.

Premiering here, ‘Vanitas’ kicks off with synth organ arpeggios and refractions that sound as if listening passively to the ambiance of a video game arcade before being joined by a sci-fi epic style lead.  ‘Vanitas’ then soon descends into a riotous jam of distortion, pummeling, industrial drums, and overdriven bass.  It is a very dense track that packs a wonderful sense of drama, tension, and release into a confined space.  A little ripper of a tune.

To present the new album, OUT OF PLACE ARTEFACTS will perform a very special 180 minutes long live set with Sara Clarke as DJ support at Zenner Berlin on the 22nd of September 2022.

PREMIERE: Out Of Place Artefacts - Vanitas [WSNWG]

Upwellings - Reef Surveyor 
V.A - Mediterranean Dub [MLF007 / Melifera Records]

Produced by Vincent Raude aka Upwellings
Mastered by Arthur Bohl
Artwork by Daisy de Montjoye
Released by Melifera Records from Marseille, France
Release Date : October 24th. 2022

Welcome to an aquatic exploration of sound. This new series of EPs invites you to a sonic immersion of different aquatic environments of the world through dub and deep techno as well as break.

For this first release, Boskøw, Martinou, Upwellings and Artos Eleven take us on a poetic and modern adventure of the Mediterranean.

Boskøw starts us off in Samena, a neighbourhood in the Calanque park of Marseille. A precious moment of introspection in the early morning, listening to the waves and voices of the Phocean city.

Leaving the rocky coast of Marseille, Reef Surveyor by Upwelling takes you on a boat ride to watch over the local marine ecosystem. Its faster rhythm conveys the challenge this entails with the increasing impact of climate change.

After a long day out at sea, Martinou’s Anemone sways smoothly with the sea current, interjected by small skanks shining through like rays of light at sunset. However, don’t be fooled - Martinou’s deep layers will slowly take over and entrance you.

Artos Eleven's Baliste evokes a nocturnal excursion between sand and rock. Named after the Mediterranean Triggerfish, its broken rhythms and deep water skanks will bite, leaving you wanting more.

We’re kicking off the new year with the debut self-release from Melbourne-based artist Fefe, whose seven-track mini-LP, Sketches from Memories, drops in just a few days. This release is a reflection of Fefe’s creative journey over the past five years, capturing the evolution of his sound through a thoughtful collection of tracks.
Our premiere today, Ghost Gum, is an evocative piece that blends gentle, textured percussion with earthy synth tones and a haunting saxophone melody. The track conjures the imagery of a ritualistic dance deep within a forest, brimming with otherworldly energy.
Sketches from Memories will be available on Bandcamp starting January 15th.

PREMIERE: Fefe - Ghost Gum

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

Invisible Love

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.
