"For LB005, Listening Blue presents the debut EP from Löwen. Hailing from Chicago, the such heritage can be heard in his work, although its structures are pushed to new territories. Coming off an obsession with post-rock, he displays a tight control of energy- with crescendos, peaks and valleys supporting the musical message.

The opus begins with the slow-burning Green, featuring a lush piano melody floating in space. Impulse Magnet takes you through a journey of breaks and unintentionally lionesque sounds. Prismacolor unleashes seemingly chaotic breaks, with melody and soul hidden within. Sunday Morning begins as your typical piano-driven house, makes a side-step, then diverts again into a mind-bending piano melody. The work ends with a soulful number in what Löwen imagines Tequila Sunrises may sound like (if he could provide complimentary cocktails, he would).

After hearing this impressively diverse 5-tracker, we hope you agree the future looks bright!"

For this second EP from Löwen at Listening Blue.

The artist brings his longtime influences of Ambient, Breakbeat, Techno - and a frank touch of House to round it out. A bit of a "sound of Listening Blue" showcase. Forgoing a solo release for some time, these 3 are from a separate year each, and reflect that in a way.

Löwen is affirming here that besides his main mixing practice, he is also a producer of taste.

PREMIERE: Löwen - The Gloom [Listening Blue]

IPR September 2022 - Listening Blue - Löwen

In the depths of clandestine beats, the Templar Knights emerge, weaving sonic relics of ancient lore into throbbing rhythms. Their studio, a cryptic sanctum, resonates with the echoes of chivalry, forging basslines that march like armored legions, synths soaring on noble steeds. Enigmatic melodies tell tales of valor, each track a crusade through time. These guardians of sound preserve the sacred essence of techno, casting spells that transport the dancefloor into a sacred temple. The Templar Knights' legacy endures in the pulsating heart of underground beats, where each beat is a testament to their enigmatic prowess and sonic crusade.

“An Era Of Tremendousness”,

First Various Album and third episode of the label — we introduce four new artists to the Listening Blue landscape.

With four original takes on lofi, atmospheric techno and microhouse-informed disco edits, “An era of tremendousness” embraces new moods and approaches of floor electronics.

Emerge (Verb) – To move out of or away from something and come into view. 
•	Become apparent, important, prominent
•	(Of facts or circumstances) become known

Appear. Develop. Begin are all synonymous with the word ‘Emerge’. To rise into prominence like a rose budding from soil or as daybreak hits the corners of the earth so mankind can see anew or just putting yourself out there and be known. Nothing is more analogous with the word emerge as one of Listening Blue’s stalwarts and co-curator, Löwen, as he emerges from the shadows to the masses with his first full-fledged EP. Listening Blue’s 5th installment is a five-track EP featuring hazy cuts of leftfield techno on ‘Green’ & ‘Impulse Magnet’, vibrant breaks on ‘Prismacolor’, charismatic House tune with ‘Sunday Morning’ and ends with a soulful tone on ‘Tequila Sunrise’. ‘Green’ opens the EP with a lush melody on cavernous kicks, driving rhythm and a weighty undertone. The beats are raw and cold yet ‘Green’ gives a sliver of hope with cozy harmonics harnessing a reflective sensibility and an emotional release... as if you’re bidding your time to shine.

Löwen’s ‘Emerge EP’ slated for March 1st. Be sure to share this with your valentine.

For this installment of Idlestates mixes we have our first guest from the other side of the pond. Chicago based Löwen Aka Brennan Leuenberger is a product of many musical influences, and brings them all to the table as a member of Listening Blue with Vronsky, where he namely assists in selection, direction, and running the monthly radio on internetpublicradio.  His story progresses on a path of a rich desire for sound, emotion, and escapism.  That of course was initially filled by post-rock and “skramz”, discovering the plethora of dance music out there, DJing, getting a copy of Ableton and pieces of hardware, then not looking back.  In addition to Listening Blue, he co-founded a podcast/label called Equal/Distant with another Chicago resident in 2019.
