How do you stay true to your own sound without repeating yourself? How do you free yourself from the burden of wild expectations? Ultimately, how do you create a “difficult second album” that bucks the trend and sounds at least as fresh and enduring as the first? Rather than searching for answers to all these questions, Douglas Greed ploughs headlong into his second BPitch Control LP Driven, leaving needless doubts for dust in his rear-view mirror. Just keep on going! Someone else can do the soul-searching, he prefers to dedicate his heart and mind to new tracks.
In any case, he was never short of passion or ideas. Douglas Greed has always been driven, and his nature rarely allows him to remain in one place on the genre map for too long. With a musical upbringing ranging from hip hop jams and drum‘n‘bass parties to the darker avenues of pop à la Joy Division, Depeche Mode or Radiohead, his recent years as a producer and live act have always involved thinking far beyond the usual framework of techno and house. The results of these thought processes, always incorporating the hours away from the dance floor, have already been laid bare on his debut album KRL (Freude am Tanzen) and singles for labels including Infiné, Acker and Gigolo.
Driven continues seamlessly in this vein with eleven tracks as rich in variety as they are in detail. The format offers plenty of room to cover a broad stylistic range, always driven by the search for new mu- sical possibilities: from the boisterous peak-time hit “Summerless” to dance floor gems like “Hush Hush” and “B12”. From the yearning pulse of “Further” to the galloping UK patterns of “Fire 5”. The featured vocals are another stand-out element of the album: “Long Distance Swimmer” is arranged around Anna Müller‘s dreamy voice, “My Mind is a Monkey” has support from Delhia, the previously released single “This Time feat. Kuss” and the title track “Driven” feature the unmistakable voice of his Eating Snow colleague Mooryc.
Throughout the album, Douglas Greed plays with changing moods and tempos, always retaining the perfect balance between track and song, playing equally to his strengths as a euphoric stage per- former and a sensitive soul. The exhilarating depth and maturity of his sound and his independent production process mean that all these elements combine on Driven to whisk the listener away on a grand journey. This is a journey – driven by the desire for new horizons – that effortlessly opens our eyes and ears, revealing that the heart of electronic music still beats loud enough to pump endor- phins through our veins. It reveals the road ahead for anyone who, like Douglas Greed, likes to throw themselves wholeheartedly into each new venture. And those who are open to the challenge are likely to complete even mammoth tasks like the dreaded second album with great aplomb.

With ten strong releases under their belts, Multi Culti label mates Von Party and Dreems join forces in-between hammock-duty and kale-fanning sessions to present this collection of exploratory études and vibey interludes.

Culled from Von Party’s arsenal of half-mad demos of primitive, raw loopy fun, these tracks move to their own beat, or to no beat at all. With the ambient Multinational DNA (Strand 1 & 2) as bookends, the EP properly kicks off with ‘Western Central,’ swinging open the saloon doors of your mind, strutting outwards into the unknown. 

‘Mayan Voyager,’ a nod to the art car the duo played on this year in Black Rock City, takes things even deeper with a slow-burning, spacey afro-sex-cult disco vibe. It’s not a record you’ll play at every party, but for the rare freaky times when the tempo is low but the dance-floor has a witchy, pagan intensity, put this on and take (your clothes) off. ‘Mushrooms on the Hill’ follows gently, inspired by the calm and quiet of a sunrise mushroom ritual. Next up, ‘Flea Market’ filter-polishes a sample of a Kolo-Beti festival song, adding synths, flutes, percussion, and love, to light-hearted sun-worshipping effect.

Punctuated by mating calls, children mingling, jungle frogs, and the noise and dust of many a scratched-up record, this is a scattered patchwork of memories, dreams, and reflections from voyages of the mind.

Nel Cuore del Battito

The universe breathes through invisible patterns. Every silence contains a code, every thought unfolds a law older than time. Beyond perception, reason dissolves, revealing the silent geometry where everything becomes a single equation.

After the great KOBOI EP and the internationally acclaimed song and videoclip It's Happening,  the transmedia artist KnoR is presenting his new project entitled “Don’t Go”. The 3 tracks music release features a music video and a mobile app. As a modern storyteller, KnoR reaches from pop music to virtual reality (VR) to spread a message of freedom. No less.

KnoR's new EP “Don’t Go” is composed of two original tracks and a remix by Canson. The title track Don't Go is a rich and surprising song: as the beat brings the listener back to the club, the lyrics are floating on a warm bass melody surrounded by a soundscape of rhythms with a very natural feel.

The message of the song is intensified in the music video realised with Berlin based filmmaker Xaver Xylophon. The movie invites the audience to step back and think. Walking through his life, KnoR questions his relationship to this place we call home: a place with borders and a nawhere we are too easily fooled.

The cornerstone of the release is the VR application developed with the computational artist Mativa and the Geneva based interactive studio apelab. “Don’t Go” becomes a virtual refuge where the user can immerse in an experience of total perception to forget his fears and the influence of daily media propaganda. 

Don’t Go. It’s easy to get in, but will you be able to get out?
