Newborn is the first single from Lowlakes' forthcoming debut LP Iceberg Nerves, due out in February 2014. Haunting, graceful and swirling with energy, Newborn embodies Lowlakes' captivating brand of alternative dream-pop; it is dark with imagery of midnight, wintry landscapes, punctuated by bone-chilling waves of frontman Tom Snowdon’s voice.

words:

When you left the oceans nearly, 
Pulled me into your stride. 
Hardly like the ones before me, 
I'll never go. 
Could I, could I...

They took my ways
I'd leave without a trace. 
My head it's first, 
To get all weak and turn away.
And every-day and every-day i'm a beast.

Ones like me we're always running, 
Pushed into a stride. 
Could I, could I...

They took my ways, 
I'd leave without a trace. 
My head it's first,
To get all weak and turn away.
And every-day and every-day.

They took my ways, 
I'd leave without a trace. 
My head it's first, 
To get all weak and turn away. 
I'd sink with all my thoughts to find a place
And bring their heads back to where they'd all be erased. 
And every-day and every-day i'm a beast,
And every-day and every-day I get lost.

Green Fingers Presents // Joblyn & Kurtovic

@n-o-v-a-e
In welchen musikalischen Stilrichtungen siehst du dich?
Ich selber bezeichne es gerne als “Spacy Techno”. Ich würde es als einen Mix aus Dark Melodic Techno, Psytechno und Indiedance bezeichnen. Richtig festlegen kann ich mich da nicht. Ich verbinde gerne mehrere Stile miteinenader und lasse mich auf die jeweilige Stimmung der Veranstaltung ein. 

Wie bist du zu deinem DJ-Namen gekommen?
Als ich gerade angefangen hatte aufzulegen, bekam ich spontan einen Festival Gig, hatte aber noch keinen DJ Namen. Bis zum nächsten Tag sollte ich mir was überlegen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war ich gerade Campen am Strand und hatte in der Nacht zuvor mit einem Teleskop einige Sterne beobachtet. Einer davor war aus einer “Supernova” entstanden, also aus einer Sternen-Explosion am Ende der Lebenszeit eines Sterns. Der Begriff “Supernova” und dass daraus wieder etwas Neues ensteht, gefiel mir richtig gut. Ich entschied, dass in meinem Fall mein DJ Projekt, so entstehen sollte, was ich dann etwas abgewandelt “nøvae” genannt habe.

Wo willst du unbedingt mal spielen?
Auf der ФУЗИОН !

Hast du ein absolutes Lieblingsset?
Ja, das Andhim Set von der Fusion 2012! Ich war damals das erste mal dort und kann das Set bis heute rauf und runter hören <3 (Sorry, einige Leute können es glaube ich nicht mehr hören, haha)

Welche Artists haben dich inspiriert oder inspirieren dich noch immer?
Diese Liste könnte unendlich lang werden, da ich in den verschiedenen Phasen meiner Entwicklung immer wieder neue sehr inspirierende Artists entdecke. Seit Jahren gehören auf jeden Fall Mollono.Bass, Lampé, Anyma, Hidden Empire und Township Rebellion dazu, um mal eine Hand voll zu nennen....

Gibt es bestimmte Rituale oder Gewohnheiten, die du vor einem Auftritt hast, um dich vorzubereiten?
Nicht direkt. Ich bin aber gerne etwas früher bei der jeweiligen Veranstaltung um schon mal die Technik zu checken und den Vibe der Veranstaltung mitzunehmen :)

Wenn du nur noch einen Track für den Rest deiner Karriere spielen könntest, welcher wäre es und warum?
Tristesse von Kollektiv Turmstrasse. Das war einer der ersten Tracks der vor über 10 Jahren mein Interesse für die elektronische Musik geweckt hat. Ein Freund hat ihn mir damals gezeigt mit dem Video von Fantasia dazu. An die Zeit denke ich sehr gerne zurück <3

Was machst du sonst gerne in deiner Freizeit?
Ich liebe es  zu verreisen und in der Natur unterwegs zu sein. Ich mache außerdem Yoga, spiele Tennis und hab immer irgendein Projekt an dem ich gerade herumbastel. 

Was ist dein Lieblingsessen?
Selbstgemachtes Curry mit ganz viel Gemüse.

Was willst du der Welt noch mitteilen?
Dazu ließe sich ein ganzes Buch schreiben... Ich fasse es aber mal kurz zusammen: Seid nett zu euch, euren Mitmenschen und der Natur! Es gibt keinen Planet B!

Brotfabrik ArtistCast - nøvae

I rest my head on the sun-drenched moss,
a bed shaped by centuries of dying leaves
and the slow turning of the earth.

The forest is dark —
not the darkness of endings,
but the fertile black where things begin.

Above me, the trees hold their breath,
arms tangled with the night sky.

A single drop of dew finds itself
frozen in fragile hesitation
between stillness and surrender.
Then he lets go.

Witchtape #181 | Guest Witch : ᒍEᗰᔕKI.

On that cold and windy morning in early December, Hekske (the little witch) woke up when Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) snuggled once again under their moss blanket to keep warm and dry.  The weather was absolutely miserable with ice-cold melting snow lashing down mercilessly on the forest.
After getting up, the girls drank a warm mug of herbal tea and their mood brightened up considerably when they realized it was the full moon day, which meant they’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always takes place in a different location and in the ever-changing company of a third witch). A little later the girls took off from a clearing. They knew they would reach their destination just by following their deeper intuition. To their great surprise, they were flying very slowly in western direction. This meant that the coven would be really close by. 
They were heading straight to the ‘Bois de Leuze’ forest, which is only a few miles away. The witches were puzzled, because they had visited this forest before, and back then no witch was living in these woods.
The girls gently touched down in a clearing, surrounded by giant beech trees. The forest was really dark on that day, and full of mushrooms, which was very unusual in December. There were stunningly beautiful fungi from many different species, like fly amanitas and yellow stagshorns. Hekske and Falke had never seen so many mushrooms and admired this miracle of nature in awe.
But suddenly the silence was rudely interrupted by the crashing sound of a falling tree. They saw a giant beech tree tip over and fall down with such a force that the earth started to shake, followed by an eerie silence. This was all quite strange as there was no wind at all. 
The saddened witches went to have a look at the dying tree until Falke suddenly started to scream. It appeared that an unconscious witch was lying in the hole under the roots. Hekske rushed to the scene, and they both pulled the witch out of the hole and laid her on a soft bed of moss. Her body was pale and cold, but Hekske could feel a faint heartbeat. Both Hekske and Falke tried to warm the witch up with the power of their hands, and slowly a blush started to appear on her face. She was beautiful and young, with a very special pale skin color. A few minutes later she slowly opened here mesmerizing green eyes and started to look around. She looked very confused. While Hekske kept her company, Falke prepared a herbal tea. And after taking a few sips from this brew, the witch became very alert. The first question she asked was which year it was. Hekske replied that is was the year 2024. The witch looked really bewildered by this news, and she hesitantly explained that her name was Quintine, and that she had gone into hibernation in the year 1610, as she fled for the people of the nearby village of Ellezelles who wanted to burn her at a stake. 
Hekske and Falke hugged Quintine and reassured her that witches were no longer being persecuted in the year 2024, and that she was safe now. They helped Quintine back on her feet. Her body was at first very stiff after 414 years of hibernation, but slowly her nimbleness came back. She was overjoyed to see all these mushrooms, and she told Hekske and Falke that the she knew the recipes of some powerful magic potions using these rare fungi. The girls collected some firewood, lit up a bonfire with a floating spark and started to prepare their first magic potion of the day …

Witchtape #181 | Guest Witch : Jemski.

I drift through the eternal fog,  
wings stretched against a veil of grey,  
a shroud spun by endless nights.
I will not go gentle into this last flight.

The air is heavy —  
not with life, but the echoes of it.

Below me, the earth fades away,  
its edges soft, undefined,  
a memory sinking into the mist.  

A single star peers through,  
its light trembling, uncertain.  
Darkness, darkness.
I don't see her any more.

The frost giant is a towering being of ice and ancient power, born from the frozen heart of the world. Dwelling in snow-covered mountains and icy realms, they are both feared and revered for their immense strength and deep icy wisdom. Though often seen as foes of the gods, beneath their cool exterior lies a connection to the primal forces of nature itself. 

And what most want the world to forget: They stomp the ground with frosty finesse.
Perhaps the cold can teach us to dance.
