For his debut album To Sit Quietly Where Everything is Moving Fast, https://soundcloud.com/love-over-entropy used only one source: a Yamaha DX11 synthesizer. It’s a vintage machine from 1987 that was also used by early IDM and techno producers. “Working with an artificial constraint unleashed a different kind of creativity," says the The Hague-based musician, who normally does not shy away from elaborate productions.

Love over Entropy spent a lot of time working out the correct order of the tracks on the album. "I think it's important that the story also flows well on a higher level. It was a nice puzzle to solve."

Although the Covid pandemic is long behind us, much of the material on this album comes from the days when society was still largely in lockdown. "Which explains the title," says Love over Entropy. "But it also refers to my distancing myself from the hustle and bustle of the dancefloor. Up until then, I was primarily making dance music."

You won't find any kick drums or heavy bass lines on To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast. It is intimate, meditative and often very beautiful ambient music. But not the formless kind that seems to dominate chill-out playlists these days. Tracks like Finnkroken, Tidalene and Rotiriot have a story to tell, with a lot of effort put in to get it just right.

“To me, making music is mostly about the process. So I will spend many hours working on details that probably nobody will ever notice. Above all, the pastoral melodies stand out, undulating back and forth like foam on the surf. The harmonies are reminiscent of Isan, Boards of Canada and Murcof, while the album also pays homage to the Artificial Intelligence period on Warp Records.

According to the Dutch producer, a lot of current ambient music falls short of the original idea, as coined by Brian Eno. "Eno once described ambient as music that should be 'as ignorable as it is interesting', but nowadays it seems to have become 'as unignorable as it is uninteresting'," Love over Entropy says cheekily. "Ambient music really is everywhere, with modern production tools often doing the heavy lifting."

With To Sit Quietly Where Everything is Moving Fast, the producer hopes to make a difference, simply by raising the bar. It's a journey that can be taken both horizontally and vertically, and hopefully offers comfort. Or as the producer describes it: "music that offers a refuge."

Love Over Entropy - To Sit Quietly Where Everything is Moving Fast

"Gather out of star-dust
            Earth-dust,
            Cloud-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust
            Not for sale."

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.

Ridoe @ GIMIC - 28 March 2025

오랫만에 돌아온 꿈 팟캐스트의 55번째 에피소드는 조지아 티빌리시를 중심으로 활동하고 있는 HVL의 57분 앰비언트 디제이 세트와 함께 합니다.

HVL (Bassiani / Tbilisi)
테크노의 성지로 불리는 저명한 클럽 Bassiani의 레지던트 아티스트 HVL은 2009년 데뷔한 이래 트빌리시 클럽 씬을 중심으로 급격하게 번성하고 있는 테크노 무브먼트의 선두에 서 있다. HVL은 오랜 시간동안 다양한 장르와 스타일을 탐구해왔고, 라이브 공연과 DJ 세트를 통해 만들어진 그의 독보적인 사운드는 그동안 Bassiani Records, Rough House Rosie, Tabernacle Records, Organic Analogue와 같은 언더그라운드 전초기지에서 발매된 솔로 앨범들을 통해 잘 드러나고 있다.⠀
Organic Analogue Records에서 발매된 HVL의 풀-랭스 데뷔작이자 트빌리시 사운드를 정의하는 수작- ‘Ostati LP(2018)’는 매우 절제된 분위기의 아웃보드 하우스와 테크노를 중심으로 기존 HVL의 역동성을 매혹적으로 발전시킨 작품으로 높이 평가받고 있다. HVL은 홈 그라운드인 트빌리시를 넘어서 Berghain, Hï Ibiza, 그리고 Berlin Atonal까지 세계 최고의 댄스 플로어에서 높은 수준의 라이브 쇼와 DJ 세트를 선보이고 있다.

The long-awaited 55th episode of the kkum Podcast returns with a 57-minute ambient DJ set from HVL, based in Tbilisi, Georgia.

HVL (Bassiani / Tbilisi)
First coming to attention as a member of Okinawa Lifestyle duo in 2009, Bassiani/Horoom resident Gigi Jikia a.k.a HVL has become a leading voice of thriving techno movement centered around Tbilisi club scene. Since starting solo career in 2013, HVL was busy exploring more diverse range of genres and styles. His solo releases which have appeared on underground outposts like Bassiani Records, Rough House Rosie, Tabernacle Records and Organic Analogue, have testified to taste that’s also reflected in his Live performances and DJ sets.
The outstanding debut Ostati LP on Organic Analogue Records (2018), intended as a manuscript of the sound of Tbilisi, is a seductive update on the established HVL’s dynamics, centered on outboard house and techno with a noticeably understated mood.
As HVL’s reputation as a solo artist grows, so does his status as a selector and DJ. Jikia has taken his skillfully crafted Live shows and DJ sets to new heights in 2018, hitting up some of the best dancefloors in the world from Berghain and Hï Ibiza to infamous Berlin Atonal.

Flow Theory 022 w/ mandarín

Italian duo Orion are back, consistently offering their trademark warmth. This release on Dutch label Far Blue is another testament to their talent and deep love for what they do, and a perfect third release for this community-driven label. The EP will be available to purchase in vinyl and digital formats at the end of April.

The opening track on the EP, Her, evokes a whimsical, warm, and delicate aura of calm introspection, the track builds with hollow, immersive percussive elements, creating a neat and uplifting groove. Its slow pace and cosmic touch deliver a reassuring sense of well-being, that feeling where you stop for a second, and realise everything is going to be alright. Their laid-back personalities mirror the calm, collected nature of their music.

This track portrays just one corner of their repertoire, as the rest of the EP explores the range of these two talented Italian producers. You’re in for a treat.

PREMIERE - Orion - Her [Far Blue]

Federsen’s Alt Dub label is back with its third ‘Artist Series’ VA, and it’s another gem for the heads who like their dub techno deep and unbothered. This edition lands with contributions from cv313, Taction, Hidden Sequence, and Fletcher, each orbiting around Federsen’s signature ethos: texture, depth, and restraint with purpose. 

Fletcher’s “A Distant Place” opens the B-side like a sunbeam through a dusty window. It’s soft, but it cuts. There’s a pulse here, but it drifts. Think of a long drive with nowhere to be, or a trail that leads somewhere quiet. The piano glints like light on water, while the groove rolls steady beneath, holding space without crowding it. It’s introspective but never cold, made for golden hour and places without ceilings. The third edition of ‘Artist Series’ is available for pre-order before it releases on May 26.
