Info:
Cryosols are soils of very cold climate containing permafrost and fittingly this third single of „Geheimland“ is the darkest and moodiest of the bunch. An atmospheric Fender Rhodes riff and mysterious vocals slowly lead to a haunting climax of drums, bass and synth orchestra, unfreezing the permafrost with a musical blaze of shattering beauty.⁠

Geheimland

Cryosol

URBS - Cryosol

For Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, the idea of rebirth is a creative driving force – an artistic device which not only informs their work, but anchors it.
As the avant-garde electronic group Tosca, the two artists have lived many musical lives, from their early electronic experiments with tape decks to the blissed-out dub compositions with which they have made their name.

Their most recent album, OSAM, takes this idea of renewal even further. Now they have reworked the source material from their ninth record and selected some of their friends to help make MIRAGE: The OSAM Remixes.

They connect with previous long term remix collaborators such as Brendon Moeller, Balint Dobozi, D’al Senio, Oberst + Buchner, Sam IRL, Domenico Ferrari and Cay Talan for an array of remixes which lead to transcendence on the dance floor with piano rises, dubbed out moments and ambient forays. Tosca also sprinkle some of their own magic on this album with their own reworks and reinterpretations.

Clean Up (Balint Dobozi Remix)

TOSCA - CLEAN UP (Balint Dobozi Remix)

'When it’s so nice, why not do it twice? The iconic John Beltran returns once again to Oath to exercise his passionate love affair with all things Balearic, and to say he expanded upon his 22’ EP with style is a severe understatement..

Based purely on his outputs over the years, there is little that seemingly John Beltran cannot do, and the results of his near 30 year long career are there for all to experience, taste and sample. His music simply speaks differently, touching upon the palette of emotions that make up the human experience, be it the tenderest of sensory affirmations through to the euphoric, emboldening sweeps that get the listener lost deep within themselves - in the most perfected way imaginable. Emerging from the spectrum of sounds that made up that oh so referenced decade of the 90s, Beltran stands tall amongst his peers in this sense, with his discography alluding to many differing spheres of influence, a testament to the age old adage of never standing still - there’s always room to grow, to experience, to nourish. From the sheer dance laden brilliance of Placid Angles, the experimental grooves of Nostalgic, the techno excellence of Indio, and the everything that permeates the music released under his own name, John Beltran continues to reset the goalposts, and we simply have to sit back and watch it all evolve right in front of us.

True to his broad reaching range of influences, Beltran’s passion for Jazz, Brazilian and Balearic music has shone through in numerous ways within his career. His early 2000s LP releases on Ubiquity and his work with Sol Set are prime examples of how to merge live percussive influences with gorgeous, emotive synth work and vocals, and clearly these ideals stuck with Beltran as he revitalised the Sol Set project for last year’s ‘Ola de Novo’ on All Good, alongside the magnificent ‘Para Viajeros’ EP. Both records showcased a majesty of instrumentation, a series of moods that are deeply evocative and pleasant to the ears in numerous levels. But there is never a sense of being lost within it all, as all the elements work tirelessly to create a perfected atmosphere of being, a cordial and highly tuned environment that feels so very believable. Its music you want to hold in your hands for the rest of your days, a vessel that transports to that idealised version of life where everything feels just right. 

'Serendipia’, Beltran’s new LP, carries forward the ideals of Sol Set and reignites the quietly evolving flames that were lit last year, and as an elaboration on his craft and its sound its really quite something. 

The rhythms are set to the rhythms of life, such as on the tracks ‘Taina’ and ‘Cachaca’, which focus on up tempo latin and jazz rhythms to get the pace set beautifully. 

As journeys go, there’s so much here to fall deep within, to be unravelled both within and out width the mind and body - to be honest, we come to expect nothing less from someone like John Beltran, who’s continual dips into the space between instrumentation and emotion conjure up records like no other. '

La Negra Sounds

ANIVERSARIO 8 x Rush Affair

Nie Wieder Schlafen returns with a long overdue comeback and brings back the notorious belgium live artist Varaz with a premium vinyl release in a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend, whose memory inspired the creation of this beautiful work of art.

Varaz gently leads the A side with 2 ambient affairs to build the base of the textured and mindful sounds that is incorporated in this white marbled wax.

The EP's first two tracks, "Agora" and "All I Hear," are sophisticated and textured ambient soundscapes that invite the listener into a contemplative and introspective state. Varaz's deft touch blends ethereal tones with intricate soundscapes, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"Perfume," the third track, is a deep house groover with a sublime bassline rhythm that leads the melody. Gently whispered vocals call out the titular scent, adding an air of mystery and allure to the track.

The B-side of the EP is equally captivating. "Cloud9" is a dreamy and eclectic story that excites with long-lasting pad hits, crisp percussion, and intricate details in the background. The final track, "5tuck in a Loop," is a fun and rolling dancefloor tune with a retro synthy vibe that will leave the listener grooving.

Nie Wieder Schlafen is proud to release this beautiful tribute on a physical medium. We hope it's nuanced soundscapes and intricate melodies will transport the listener to a place of emotional resonance.

Don't miss your chance to own this beautiful work of art, available on August 22th via Bandcamp or digitally on October 2nd via all the usual stores.
