As the final piece of her 25th anniversary, DJ Isis is now presenting her new project ‘Isis & Mozes’ to the world. Their debut EP 'OSTARA' is released April 12th, 2018 at KROOKS Records. OSTARA is the outcome of an intensive collaboration with her new studio partner Mozes.

On OSTARA, Isis & Mozes worked with different musicians, instrumentalists, and vocalists. These are the key ingredients that formed the basis for the compositions made by @isismozes. In addition to the electronic parts of the compositions, Isis & Mozes used different types of instruments featuring Mozes on guitar and Isis on vocals.

Besides their own compositions, one of the tracks on OSTARA is produced in collaboration with colleague-producer and dj: @tripjag. In addition, the producers-trio @yorkultura made a hefty remix of their track Aerial for the EP. More info on the EP: www.krooks-records.com/album/isismozes-ostara

Bailo Bah - Kaira (LUETT MATTEN EDIT)

This is a rework over one of my all time favourite artists Nina Simone.

|||| Lyrics ||||

Come ye ye who would have peace 
Hear me what I say now 
I say come ye ye who would have peace 
It's time to learn how to pray 

I say come ye ye who have no fear 
What tomorrow brings child 
Start praying for a better world 
Or peace and all good things 

I say come ye ye who still have hope 
That we can still survive now 
Let's work together as we should 
And fight to stay alive 

I say come ye ye who would have love 
It's time to take a stand 
Don't mind abuse it must be paid 
For the love of your fellow man 

I say come ye come ye 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope

Come Ye

Buy!

Nina Simone - Come Ye (Pigmaliao Rework)

Objekt — Cocoon Crush
Format: 2xLP / CD / Digital
Cat.No. PAN 97
Release Date: 9 November 2018 
Pre-order album: bit.ly/2xhO0kR / bit.ly/2OvxYuv

PAN welcomes back Objekt for Cocoon Crush, his first LP since 2014’s Flatland. Over the past four years Objekt has continued to challenge conventions with his club output (the Objekt #4 single release and the Kern Vol. 3 mix CD for Tresor), while maintaining his reputation as a DJ who deploys impeccable technical finesse in crafting elaborate narratives from a diverse and challenging palette of electronic music.

Written between 2014 and 2018 in Berlin and on the road, Cocoon Crush once again sees the producer jettisoning the functional requirements of the dancefloor. Marking a further evolution from the youthful exuberance of Flatland, Cocoon Crush explores a more introspective side, with themes of human interaction resonating throughout the record as it ruminates on a spectrum of complex moods rooted in 4 years of sometimes turbulent personal experience.

Cocoon Crush represents an aesthetic departure from Flatland’s largely synthetic tonality, drawing from organic source material and natural textures to illustrate perplexing and unfamiliar sceneries in photorealistic detail. In Cocoon Crush, Objekt diverges further still from his musical influences to craft the purest manifestation of his own musical personality to date: an intriguing and enigmatic album whose reference points are hard to pin down, in which ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending, weighty drums, and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle. Through meticulous sculpting, Objekt traces a rich and impressionistic journey through claustrophobia, hope, guilt, anxiety and joy, nested in layers of sonic detail which reward with every listen.

The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Kasia Zacharko, and layout by Bill Kouligas.

A cover/homage to one of our favorite songs by the late Mark Hollis.
Keith:
There are so many great things about this song. It evokes so many emotions throughout the duration of the song and communicates them so effectively, yet in a pop music context that is pretty universally appealing. When you look under the hood of the song it's entirely genius how all of these elements work together to create something so unique. The arrangement, the constant dramatic key shifts, the "whale" and "bird" sounds, the very busy prominently mixed bass line, the choppy acoustic guitar accompaniment...it's a clever song that's crafted with thought, care, and intention performed well and mixed well. The timbre of the synths chosen alone is a feat worthy of note as each part represents an integral sonic character to the song that when taken away or replaced can completely change the intention of the song. Mark's lyrics are thoughtfully crafted. The melody is dynamic and varied with a significant vocal range which he handles with absolute ease.

Hollie and I chose to keep the tempo the same (it's 126...and a HALF, genius.) but to attack this song in half-time as a way to accentuate what we felt were the more languid nature of some parts of the original. We wanted this to be an interpretation rather than a re-creation of what Mark did. We kept the structure pretty close to the original as I think that's part of what makes the song really successful. In regard to timbre, I wanted to keep this very synth-based and try to achieve what he did with having different synth sections define the characteristic of the song, but put some different melodies and textures in there. As it turns out Mark's range and Hollie's are remarkably similar, so we kept in the same key.

Ochre (with Blurstem)

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Wir sitzen heut im Keller bei tip top Schatten statt eitel Sonnenschein. Sommerliches Sommersein, aufrecht und gerade zwischen Cuja Mara Split und Staub. Trocken und ehrlich, satt und richtig, mit schönem Gruß aus und bestem Dank nach München. Hello @Laetiziamusic.
