We welcome another great talent and new Blank Wave family member: France based Charlotte Boisselier alias Cate Hortl is combining her fascination for the energy of the clubs and her passion for haunted melodies of dark Pop.

After a period of creating with the dazzling Ambeyance and Oktober Lieber bands, she has now been working solo for the past three years, carving out a more intimate path and bringing long standing explorations to life.

Feeding her inferno with 80s influences, she conjures up modern Italo, heavy-footed dark Pop, galvanizing EBM and ecstatic Techno in a stormy atmosphere, fusing melancholy and joy, dance and introspection.

By appropriating these registers and their contradictions, she has put together the exciting first EP “Smog”, released in the fall of 2021 on Ritmo Fatale. Just after, she released “HEX”, on the Warriorecords label. More recently, two of her new tracks were released on the Club Forever label, and she took part in the latest compilation by New York label Samo Records.

When Rotterdam based, UK born DJ/producer Birds (real name Katie Wilkinson) began putting together the tracks for her debut album, she realised that there was an ongoing theme to the vocal lines; they all were related to either being at, leaving or returning to some form of ‘home’, most likely because she made the move from The UK to The Netherlands less than 6 months before and was still going through the traumatising visa process. This led her to think about the philosophical question of what exactly is home. The album explores these themes.

“Home can be so many things….it can be a permanent, it can be temporary, it can be the feeling of surrendering to bad habits, it can be that familiar spot on a dance floor, your favourite seat in a bar, the people you surround yourself with, feeling a sense of freedom, your family base…the possibilities are endless. It’s a word that cannot really be defined.” - Birds

Genre-wise, the album is a deep dive into Birds’ Bass, Breaks and Electro-inspired influences with the occasional signature fuzzy guitar hook reminiscent of her earlier dark-wave/EBM material peppered in...

Release Info :

2:29 - Shifting Bits [Dalmata Daniel // DDA07/DDCS07]

Snippets : soundcloud.com/dalmata-daniel/dda07-229-shifting-bits-w-betonkust-le-chocolat-noir-hadron-lundgren-remixes-snippets

Shifting Bits marks the first full-length statement from 2:29, a rising young artist from the Netherlands whose debut track appeared earlier this year on Dalmata Daniel’s Pride Or Die compilation. That release was not only his introduction to the label, but his first official released track and now followed by a fully realized eight-track cassette bringing his voice into sharp focus.

Rooted in shadowy, melody-streaked electro, the five original tracks (including one self-rework) revolve around the idea of transition and transformation. The title Shifting Bits reflects 2:29’s background as a software engineer: in computing, shifting bits alters values, creates new ones, or even causes loss, an irreversible process that parallels the way sound, workflow, and artistic intention evolve. Moving from DAW-based attempts to a more tactile hardware approach, these tracks capture the moment where experimentation starts crystallizing into a distinct voice.

The cassette is rounded out by three remixes: a distorted and vintage-melodic rework from fellow Dutch producer Betonkust who is also well-known on Dalmata Daniel, a darker, driving version by Croatian veteran Le Chocolat Noir, and a contribution from Budapest’s Hadron Lundgren, his third appearance on the label, who reshapes the original into cold, atmospheric form.

Shifting Bits captures a phase of artistic development: subtle changes accumulating into a new direction, where each shift adds a different weight and character to the sound. 

Tracklist : 
1. RDM
2. Too Late To Wire
3. Reduction
4. Test Anxiety
5. Shows Inspiration (Spooky Seasoning Remix)
6. Too Late To Wire (Betonkust's The Hague Mix)
7. Reduction (Le Chocolat Noir Remix)
8. Test Anxiety (Hadron Lundgren Remix)
