PREMIERE: Niko Schwind, Robbie Akbal - Caminando De Noche Feat Ay Sarita (M.E.M.O. Remix)

Tief Music mainstays Sisterhood release their second EP for the label following up their hugely successful 'Call Me Ishmael' released back in 2013. Tunnels features three original tracks showing the London based duo's versatility and maturity as producers. The EP kicks off with 'Doublespeak', a hard-hitting peak time track, filled with arpeggiated synths and dubbed out FX. 'Tunnels' is deep and sparse, slowly building throughout its 7 minute run. Bicep reconstruct the title track, morphing it into a punchy, bassline focused roller with piercing atmospheric pads. 'Believe' closes the EP, a dreamy, sample based track utilizing beautiful floating chords to great effect.

microCastle’s second offering of 2024 welcomes Upercent back to the label for a new EP. Since first appearing in 2011, Valencia based sound architect Upercent has developed a distinct brand of electronic futurism. An enthusiastic attitude towards experimentation, coupled with extraordinary creative vision has made the Spaniard one of the more unique artists to emerge in the last decade. Upercent’s first microCastle project, 2018’s 'Vuit', not only served as the imprint's second ever vinyl release, but continued the Valencia resident’s mission to create contemporary club tools and destabilizing sound explorations. Seemingly in constant motion moving forward, Upercent would go on to record projects for Diynamic, Kompakt and Watergate, amongst others, firmly establishing his place amongst the underground’s premiere talents. Now more than five years on from this elusive string of projects, it has been Habitat, Innervisions, Sum Over Histories and TAU which have been vehicles for his creative swell over the last two calendar years, reminding us of the niche he carved out during his initial rise, as he continues to maneuver himself through the confines of electronic music. With 2024 being highlighted by ‘Falling’, a two-track collaborative project with Germany’s Adana Twins, Upercent now returns to microCastle with ‘Persevere’.

Beginning with the organic monochromes of ‘Oracle’, Upercent’s craftsmanship reveals itself across the slow-burning piece, one where funked-up beats and rubbery basslines get peppered with skittering rhythms, thought provoking vocal samples and glitched-out electronics. Its subdued yet swing-heavy suspense while perfect for an astute dancefloor, also acts as an ideal segue into the hopeful qualities of ‘As It May See’. Paul Brenning’s vocals feature here, falling like raindrops atop woody kick drums and clustered sonics, eventually giving way to an interlude of soulful phrasing, coaxing beautifully with granular textures and ghostly swirls of wind, before tastefully moving forward as panoramic arps emerge for a mesmerizing finale.

Upercent’s distinct aesthetic continues on the fourth selection ‘Cult’. Perhaps the most direct composition on the EP, its six-minute running time quickly sets you adrift in a techno-inspired wasteland of deconstructed vocals and retro chord stabs. Both intimate and wide-ranging, it's a series of crystal-like drones which engulf your attention whole, creating a sombre, ceremonial backdrop for misty glitches and fog-like swells to create a scenic storyboard. Reverberating hits and twitchy rhythms fill the space of closer ‘Blau Cel’, a production where Upercent crafts a trek through mountainous dancefloor trails. Unbound by gravity, orchestral gestures sweep across mossy plains and frost-filled sighs, offering listeners another immersive journey into the uncharted realms of musical expression.

Kindisch is thrilled to announce the release of Sonata EP, a stunning two-track collaboration between West & Hill and El Mundo, two celebrated artists who have graced the label in the past. Known for their immersive soundscapes and innovative approach to electronic music, the duo brings together a deep, melodic energy that captures both their unique styles and shared musical vision.

The EP’s opening track, “Sonata,” is a beautifully crafted deep house piece that combines lush strings, ethereal choirs, and powerful synthesizers, weaving these epic elements into a hypnotic and evolving beat. With its cinematic feel, the track rises and builds, drawing listeners into a space of intensity and profound beauty. “Dissolving Time,” the EP’s second track, offers a complementary experience with layered melodies and intricate rhythms that carry the same emotional depth, blending ambient sounds and rich synths that are perfect for both intimate listening and the dancefloor.

West & Hill, originally from Maastricht, has quickly gained recognition for his atmospheric, genre-blending productions, releasing on well-regarded labels like Get Physical, Kindisch, and Abracadabra. His sound instinctively combines organic and electronic elements, creating a signature style that resonates with both new and long-time listeners.

El Mundo, with over two decades in the electronic music scene, began as a DJ in Nijmegen in 2002 and soon ventured into music production alongside his collaborator Satori. The two grew into an internationally acclaimed act, but by 2012, El Mundo was ready to explore his solo career. Moving to Berlin, he crafted a sound uniquely his own, and eventually met ZAZOU, leading to a successful partnership, numerous releases, and the founding of his own label, Quetame. El Mundo’s work is known for its deep rhythmic layers and melodic sophistication, marking him as a mainstay of the melodic house and techno scene.

Sonata EP is now available on all major platforms, offering listeners an enchanting blend of melodic house and emotive soundscapes that highlight both artists’ unique contributions to the genre.
