running allround

Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.

The GUACA track selection is an easy listening vibe starter for those who appreciate a moment full of nostalgia and melancholy. This Amsterdam based producer/DJ & vocalist bravely commits to the niche of future sounds, ambient music and jazz.

Jimmy Guacamole is a pure yet unconventional artist. He creates accessible devotional textures
of poetry and sound. These sounds, which are to be collected on his Michael Elders project, 
address topics and emotions which resonate in the heart and soul of both the artist and the 
audience. They are soothing stories which blend questions of identity, purpose, worry, fear 
and struggle on a quest for love, living, success, wealth and happiness.

SPRMRKT mixtape #6 by Jimmy Guaca

Sometimes the chords are all I need and I don't want to muddy the waters with much else. This was one of those tracks, so I decided to avoid any big drums and just let Christian's beautiful melody and my added Prophet chords grow a little throughout, held together with some vocals from the original looped up. It's just a simple piece of music.

'A starry-eyed house experience that fits seamlessly into a soulful, deep-felt dancefloor dynamic. Swells of low end surge into a crisp, percussive breakdown that never seems to shift too abruptly, leaving Arnalds' & Frahm's original melody work to come humming through the compressed kick in a blissful wave of moonlit elegance' – XLR8R

'A hazy slow-builder that sits nicely equidistant between Arnalds’ solo work and his excellent Kiasmos project' – The Line Of Best Fit
