Gudrun Gut and Mabe Fratti have worked together on a powerful hybrid album, where taut rhythms fuse with haunted vocal melodies and spoken word, and field recordings meld with extended ambient pieces. Limited edition of 500 copies on Yellow Transparent vinyl LP, digital downloads and streamings.

As part of Umor Rex’s 15th anniversary, we here present an album that builds a dialogue between two lands and two unique artists. Mexico is the origin and conceptual residence of our label, while Germany is where we produce and manufacture our records (Berlin functions as the center of distribution and logistics, thanks to our friends at Morr Music). The intertwining imaginations belong to German producer Gudrun Gut (Malaria!) —a notable figure of the subculture and the German music scene since the early 80s, and also a founder of Monika Enterprise and recipient of the ‘Listen to Berlin’ Award in 2019— and singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Mabe Fratti (originally from Guatemala, now based in Mexico City). We knew about “Let’s Talk About The Weather” from the beginning, and since the moment Gudrun and Mabe made us part of their project, our excitement could not be greater.

The process started with Gudrun and Mabe having long distance conversations, asking about their whereabouts and discussing the weather. This might seem rather commonplace, but it works as a key thematic component for the entire album. The weather as the new great unknown, perceived through the optics of everyday life. Sound files were methodically exchanged, with Mabe exploring words and vocals, and Gudrun working with field recordings taken from each city. In the end, this joint musical venture would provide a healing effect for both artists during life in quarantine.

“Aufregend”, the opening track of the album, reflects upon a general lack of excitement in modern life. It wonders what the future might hold. Is it cold? Is it warm? Will it be the same? “Air Condition” is an eerie, dazzling collision of climates: the hazy warmth of Mexico City, the deep cold of Uckermark. The last track, which gives the album its name, is a long ambient piece composed of four parts: sound sculptures, field recordings of city life, news and weather forecasts, and private conversations about the climate. It’s kind of a collaborative diary, obsessed with a single, all-encompassing subject.

Produced and recorded by Gudrun Gut and Mabe Fratti between Berlin, Uckermark, Veracruz and Mexico City. Mixed by GGut at Stern Studio Mastered by John Tejada in Sherman Oaks, USA. Artwork & photos by Daniel Castrejón in Mexico City.

Special thanks to Goethe Institute, who contributed to the creation of this album with a Virtual Partner Residency support.

"A Symphony of Horror… reimagined through music.”

Eine Symphonie des Grauens: An HWV Halloween Experience is a concept album by He Who Vibes, created not just to be heard — but felt.

Inspired by classic horror, nostalgic Halloween memories, and the eerie comfort of old VHS tapes, this 21-track experience immerses listeners in the world of He Who Haunts — a producer who becomes the very spirit of his music.

Across the album, HWV summons haunting melodies, ghostly ambience, and cinematic soundscapes that echo through dimly lit streets, fog-covered graveyards, and forgotten televisions flickering in the dark. Each track carries its own story — from the quiet unease of "The Fall ’24 (Intro)" to the eerie silence of "Still Afraid Of The Dark? and the chaotic crescendo of "Slashers’ Carnage." 

This is more than a beat tape.
It’s a journey through fear, nostalgia, and rebirth — a musical world where October never ends and the night itself breathes.

HWV combines the textures of music genres, ambient, experimental sound design, and film-like pacing to resurrect the spirit of Halloween in its purest form: atmospheric, imaginative, and alive.

Each sound tells a story.
Each transition bleeds into the next.
Every melody is a ghost of what once was.

Whether you listen in the dark, on the move, or with the lights low — this isn’t just a soundtrack to Halloween.

It’s the Halloween you will want to experience — brought to life through sound.

🔸 Written, produced, and haunted by He Who Vibes.
