Asma Maroof, Patrick Belaga, Tapiwa Svosve - The Stranger
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 134
Release Date: 21 April 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/TheStranger

Asma Maroof, Patrick Belaga and Tapiwa Svosve share 'The Stranger', the first single from the upcoming full-length album 'The Sport of Love' out via PAN on May 26th.

On The Sport of Love, seasoned collaborators Asma Maroof, Patrick Belaga and Tapiwa Svosve consider the language, competition and contradiction of modern romance: its yearning, incomprehensible vastness and the inevitable darkness and fleeting fragility. For the trio, love is the emotion that propels all of us whether we acknowledge it or not, and its expression can be realized in many forms.

Everything comes into sharp focus on the album's lengthy central piece 'The Stranger', that brings in additional instrumentation from harpist Ayha Simone and percussionist Mathieu Edward. The three friends saw this particular composition as a journey within itself, charting the anxiety, harmony and uncertainty of love. Shifting from gooey freeform jazz into gurgling noise and bleak ambient drone, it connects the dots between Dorothy Ashby, Arve Henriksen, Jon Hassell and Hildur Guðnadóttir while voyaging into parts unknown. It's a finale of sorts that wrestles with the complexity of the album's themes, returning to earlier refrains and prolonging their tension.

The Sundown Tapes is a summer series of mixes curated by Argo inspired by summer and the iconic legacy of José Padilla at Café Del Mar in Ibiza. Each volume brings together a musical artist who is invited to create their own version of a "sunset mix" - music for that moment when the light softens and the world slows down. 

The sounds explored drift through balaeric ambience, house, electronic, rap, brazillian funk, and more -- shaped by each artist's personal response to the magic of sundown. 

The first 30 minutes of the mix comes from innerinnerlife.

innerinnerlife is the solo indie ambient project of tomasz szpaderski – producer, composer and co-founder of the influential polish electronic group kamp!.
his music is deeply grounded in human experience, with a focus on amplifying the casual beauty of everyday life.

innerinnerlife produces a wide variety of sounds based on smooth ambient textures and harsh, reamped vocals and guitars. his song structures, often processed beyond recognition, create a compromise between dream pop and ambient. meanwhile his lyrics speak with a sweet, nostalgia-driven acceptance of the daily reality. 

innerinnerlife’s international full-length debut album ilysm arrived in 2024 via transatlantic records, followed by performances across europe at independent showcases and curated events.
