Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections this fall, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

The second single, “Sine Waves,” is a collaboration with British neo-classical pianist and producer Tom Ashbrook, made from a simple waveform or sine wave from a synthesizers’ percussion and organ pad. An accomplished composer and musician, Tom Ashbrook has shared the stage alongside music legends Paul McCartney, John Newman and Sting. Now the pair team up for their debut collaboration, presenting a textured, piano-laden electronica track that masterfully creates suspense, builds tension and ends in release.

Joining the Anjuna label family back in 2008 with a remix of Above & Beyond’s trance anthem ‘Miracle’ on Anjunabeats, Martin Roth has since provided numerous standout moments within the Anjunadeep back catalogue including ‘Have You Ever’, ‘Organic Brewed Hipster Funk’ and 2012 label classic ‘Beautiful Life’. During lockdown, while Anjunadeep launched their series of ambient VA compilations, Roth moved from club to piano-led music and the release of his first full-length downtempo album, ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’.

Roth says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which means awareness that everything fades away.

'Sine Waves' is out now on Reflections.

Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

This skill reflects the depth and breadth of Roth’s production experience. He learnt piano from a young age and bought his first synthesizer in his late teens. Around the same time he dived headfirst into Frankfurt’s underground, spending his weekends submerged in the sounds and selections of Sven Väth and Culture Beat’s Torsten Fenslau at institutions like Omen and Dorian Gray. When Roth began playing local clubs, Frankfurt’s melancholic influence impacted his music and has remained ever since, regardless which genre he’s turned his hand to.

‘Mono No Aware’ is the second album released on Reflections, and is a further exploration of Roth’s analog past. Martin released his first low-tempo LP ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’ in 2020 and says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which translates to ‘an awareness that everything fades away.’

Roth’s ambition for ‘Mono No Aware’ is that it touches the listener in the same way his first album did. “When I released An Analog Guy In A Digital World, suddenly I received messages from people all over the world,” Roth says. “They were long, heartfelt, heartbreaking messages, about how a certain track supported them through the hardest moments of their lives. The people who write these messages have no idea how much they are supporting me, so I hope the music on Mono No Aware touches people in the same way.”

Mono No Aware is out now on Reflections.

Tiers of sadness

English:

*"This track has been unearthed and re-mastered from my drawer. It’s a cinematic ambient journey with micro-house and dub influences, featuring slowly evolving drones, shimmering pads, and textured layers. A deep, minimal 4/4 beat with soft kicks, warm sub-bass, and subtle hi-hats creates a hypnotic rhythm, while gentle percussion and smooth dub delays add emotional depth.

Futuristic yet introspective, the music feels like echoes in timeless space, inviting you to relax, reflect, and get lost in the sound. Every layer is meant to evoke feeling, curiosity, and a sense of calm exploration."*

Italiano:

*"Questo brano è stato riesumato e re-masterizzato dal mio cassetto. È un viaggio sonoro cinematografico con influenze di micro-house e dub, con droni che evolvono lentamente, pad scintillanti e strati di texture. Un beat minimal 4/4 profondo, con kick morbidi, sub-bass caldi e hi-hat delicati, crea un ritmo ipnotico, mentre percussioni leggere e ritardi dub aggiungono profondità emotiva.

Futuristico ma introspettivo, il brano sembra echi in uno spazio senza tempo, invitandoti a rilassarti, riflettere e perderti nel suono. Ogni strato è pensato per evocare emozioni, curiosità e un senso di calma esplorazione."*

The solo output of Reykjavik producer Janus Rasmussen can be best understood as a distillation of his many diverse collaborations to date. Originally from the Faroe Islands, Janus has spent the better part of the last decade creating, performing, and innovating with other artists across myriad musical genres, amassing a wealth of experience and inspiration that he now condenses into his own brand of experimental electronic music. 

Janus’s debut solo album Vín, saw him hone his minimal techno chops into an hour-long exploration of acoustic textures and electronic sound design that peaks and lulls like a well-crafted DJ set. In his most recent work, he meshes Vín’s dancefloor rhythms and dark sonic palette with his own vocals to craft a unique, melodic sound that runs counter to the prevailing current of electronic dance music.

Aside from his own music, Janus performs alongside Ólafur Arnalds as one half of KIASMOS.
