three year journey: the last three years have been the most important in my musical journey. The collection of sounds which represent the album were all a progressive creation of those three years. These years were quite vital for my growth both as a musician and a human being since I spent most of the time analyzing my inner processes, eliminating thoughts that seemed not mine anymore, trying to know me better, and doing my utter best to connect all the dots/events/memories to find out the real me. The realization went as far as understanding who are the key figures in my life and who gave me the light I carry inside, and ultimately, coming to a standpoint that regardless of the experience, that journey filled with the entirety of possible human emotions led me to be the person I am right now. 

This album is a collection of more than 200 unfinished projects with a broad spectrum of ideas that seemed to be forgotten until I decided to leave my homeland Armenia on a five-month trip in early 2021. The biggest, perhaps scariest challenge I faced was the absolute inability to collect all the memories the exact way they were since life was moving so fast and reality was quite unstable that it was almost impossible to memorize even the smallest thing. But I found the way. I realized the correct path is to simply be present, and life will carry your subconscious on the journey you are supposed to be part of. 

This album is my soul, my world, the love/heartbreak, acceptance/annoyance, anxiety/confidence, curiosity/courage, desire/disappointment, the doubt, the distrust, the happiness, the rage, the hope/worry, passion, the people I met, the entirety of a human inner world expressed through sound. enjoy.

I present to you my third work.

I give a new style to the beautiful Sueño Latino song. A song from the year 89 that marked me a lot and whose singer Carolina Damas is the main protagonist with her sensual and warm voice.

My particular tribute to all the producers of the 90s.

Love and happy Summer to all sensitive souls.

Os presento mi tercer trabajo.

Doy un nuevo estilo a la preciosa canción de Sueño Latino. Una canción del año 89 que me marcó mucho y cuya cantante Carolina Damas es la gran protagonista con su voz sensual y cálida.

Mi particular homenaje a todos los productores de los años 90.

Amor y feliz Verano para todas las almas sensibles.

Sueño Latino (Spirit Of Ibiza Mix)

I can still remember cycling our way home after a night pubbing with Sjoerd in the summer of 2013, right after we listened to LS together for the very first time. We knew this had to be the next Nous'klaer. Late 2014 I completed this record by finishing 1001. 

DJ Koze's 2013 album opus Amygdala has continued to bewitch all who encounter it since its release. Tipped as his own personal Sgt. Pepper, the sublime long-player revealed a fully-realised and personal body of work, complete with a classic songwriting at its core, House in its heart, and veins coursing with psychedelic color. La Duquesa' was the album's dreamy single standout, a journey into deep, tropical ecstasy. XTC' begins in the same spirit, and captures the all the blissful allusions of its name, but its initial gentility belies the deep intensity to come. Floating pads glow with celestial ambience as a kick drum is gradually coaxed into solid form, and the introduction of spoken text begins the second act. Many people are experimenting with the drug Ecstasy,' it says, ...is the drug like the lie and meditation the truth Or am I missing something that could really help me". XTC' then transforms: sweetly imploring tones become demanding, gentle gradients between chords turn hard-edged, and sharp hi-hats cut through the haze. Complete with Koze's signature percussive quirks, it drives towards the track's final pay off: an undeniable, all-consuming, irresistible high. Knee On Belly' recalls Koze at his most tongue-in-cheek and overt, it is bright, bold and literally brassy, using cut-up horns of all shapes and sizes to patchwork together his own unique arrangement. With the highs and mid ranges accounted for, Koze adds in a swollen, thrumming bass line to mix to bring this floor-filler to life. Knee on Belly' recalls a raw, filtered and funky approach to groove, with a nod to disco house and the art of artful sampling, as it orbits between its own neon highs and simmering lows.

Next up on Hivern Disc's edit series comes a very special vinyl-only release by collaborative project Lost Scripts – a match made in heaven between label head John Talabot and Pional.

"A.F.K." is our highlight, found on the flip and providing an uplifting Afro-inspired house track. The track balances its influences evenly, with percussive saturation and ritualistic vocal chants entwining with curly synth patterns, creating a journey that starts – as the Hivern family put it rightly themselves – 'in the savannah and ends in outer space'.

HVNED04 drops on July 29th as a limited edition 1o", housed in a silk-screened sleeve.

Artist: Kev Sheridan
Label: Maeve
Title : Alone In Berlin
Catalogue : Maeve 13
Format: Vinyl, digital
Release date:
Digital: 13/04/2018
Vinyl: 13/04/2018

Maeve are thrilled to welcome long time friend Kev Sheridan to the label for his debut release. Kev is one of the most talented musicians we know and its an honor for us to release his first work to the world. This project has been developing over the past few years and now we have a record we feel showcases the deep musicality and talent Kev has.

Although not sounding like a typical Maeve dance floor record, the A side entitled "Alone in Berlin" is a stunningly beautiful piece of music. Its measured melancholic flow creates a shared empathy between listener and composer.

"Wash Over Me" is the B1, and with it comes a change of pace moving into a broken beat rhythm but still maintaining the emotion of the A side. Haunting pads hang over clean staccato percussion creating an overall euphoric vibe.

"Losing Someone Is Never Easy" is the final track on the EP. This straight up house cut again shows Sheridans deep musicality using a wide range of instruments to weave a beautiful tapestry made for special dance floor moments.

John Talabot and Axel Boman teamed up in 2017 for their R&S debut ’The Night Land’ where they got to flex their creative muscles over eight tracks of rich synth jams.  

The two electronic artists have been independently successful in their respective careers, but as Pitchfork expressed in their glowing review “Their collective output doesn’t sound much like either’s work; it doesn’t even necessarily reflect the thin, convex sliver where their interests overlap. Instead, they’ve hit upon something new.”

This new sound also proved to be a hit with the likes of Mojo, Phonica, XLR8R, Self Titled and DJ Mag all including it their annual best of lists.

The artists have now handpicked four artists to create their own vision of the Talaboman sound.  
Superpitcher, Samo DJ, Luke Slater under his L.B. Dub Corp alias and Powder have all seriously delivered the goods.

Flipping the record over, we hear Robag shift Vondelpark's pop tune further into dubbed-out DJ tool territory with “Habay Latoff NB”, placing it atop a hand-cranked mechanical pulse that's more tech than house. The vocals are reduced to a mere atmospheric aspect, letting Robag's buzzing and clattering do the talking, as the underlying drawn-out melodic phrases breeze past, with plenty of auditory curveballs to make your ears smile. Grab the vinyl version now—R&S won't be offering these remixes digitally until later in the year.
