Gift Song II

Faith

First Iota (feat. Angelina Nonaj)

simple épinard (cyriaque blanchet-le moing) se rend à beaucoup de concerts, écrit des textes et fait des projets avec d'autres mais n'avait jamais fait d'émission de radio. Pour le dernier volet de cette trilogie d'invitations, simple spinach réalise une émission où les idées sont simples et où la voix sert à dire ça aussi : un mix qui pense aux oreilles et à la bouche.

Heith - Escape Lounge 
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 147
Release Date: 25 April 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/EscapeLounge

Heith's music has always been infused with sacred mystery, striking a delicate balance between lived experience and imagination.

On Escape Lounge, his second full-length release for PAN, Heith draws inspiration from contemporary digital spirituality and interpretations of experience that are crossing over from cultural niches into the mainstream – including internet-based conspiracy theories and psychological operations. The album presents a sonic diary recorded across Milan, Berlin, London, and Stockholm, crafting a post-informational folklore while exploring new territories in personal songwriting.

The title Escape Lounge, inspired by airport waiting areas, serves as a metaphorical waiting room of the mind. Its hidden passages can lead either to peril and loss or to enlightenment and kaleidoscopic mental landscapes. This liminal space echoes the mysterious realms of Twin Peaks or the viral "Backrooms" phenomenon. Within it, contributing musicians – including frequent collaborators Leonardo Rubboli, Aase Nielsen, and 33 drummer Alexander Iezzi – move like ethereal presences, creating intangible soundscapes that leave traces of post-hypnotic melancholia. Notably, the vocal contributions from Price and James K enhance the otherworldly atmosphere, their multifaceted timbres adding layers of intentional ambiguity.

Throughout the album, Heith masterfully blends acoustic instruments, human voices, and digital technology along an uncharted path that references the experimental pop of 90s trip-hop, 2000s indie-folk songwriting, and lush Mediterranean psychedelia. The sounds are meticulously crafted, combining synthesizers with guitar-based compositions in a computational songwriting approach that creates a collage across eras and landscapes. Each track unveils new dimensions of this delicate hallucinogenic narrative, delivering an immersive listening experience. As reality continuously shifts, Escape Lounge emerges as both sanctuary and confinement – a space of momentary connections and endless potential.

In 2025, Heith will debut a new live show and audiovisual collaboration titled 'The Talk' with James K and Günseli Yalcinkaya, commissioned and premiering at Sonar Festival, Terraforma, Nuit Sonores, and Reworks.

How Much Time Has Passed ?

Fifth World w/ Niko Demus : 07.30.25

Reducer

When visionary electronic producer SOPHIE passed away in 2021 aged only 34, it felt like the extinguishing of a future path for music, the one down which she was lighting the way. Few musicians in 21st Century have diffused their influence throughout pop music and beyond as inexorably as SOPHIE. 

She created sounds that tore music – and by extension her own identity – down to its molecular constituents, alchemising them to thrilling effect, in a way that spellbound both the avant-garde and the poptimists alike. Since her passing, her devoted fanbase remains as active as ever, cataloging and archive SOPHIE's vast discography of officially and unofficially released music. 
 
Selected and mixed by Jennifer Walton.
