Filterwolf - Moondance

With his sixth album "Amor Fati", German producer Filterwolf also known as Adnan Durić-Steinmann enters new territory and produces a manifesto of artistic sovereignty at the same time. The album proves not only how much Filterwolf has mastered his chosen art form, but also his ability to transform house and techno into something original and individual. It is about the sonic interpretation of personal challenges and of ones own development, hence the apt Latin philosophical formulation as the title of the new work. In doing so, he succeeds like hardly any other contemporary producer in reinventing himself sonically without losing the high recognition value. Refined, elegant, finely chiseled anthems with cascading grooves, warm synths and a serene mood - total dedication and resulting fulminant work.

Filterwolf - Amor Fati album preview

The second album of the proficient Munich producer duo - Adnan Durić-Steinmann & Josef Fischer - is worth of mesmerizing and evocative soundscapes touching on everything from furious house to industrial to raw techno. The music is uncompromising and brave and shines with the punky rawness of EBM. Their futuristic sound captures the timelessness and diversity of electronic music, drawing on everything from dreamy techno – the hypnotic, enchanting title track „Hiraeth“ which sounds like a meeting of Drexciya with Aphex Twin to energetic, wild electro industrial "Zephyr" resambling Carl Craig and Nitzer Ebb. Futuristic twinkling arpeggios kissed with breezy melodies generate deep sonically richness: The trance-inducing and irresistible longplayer „Hiraeth“ is as close to perfect as anything could be.

Filigran's label manager, Adnan Durić-Steinmann, and Compost Records producer, Philipp Stoya, join forces as Mara on their extraordinary debut ep, "Sermata". The four wild, uplifting and mellifluous tracks on this release are quintessentially adventurous with attitude and courage, combining the analog world - Stoya's dreamy Rhodes and Durić-Steinmann's freestyle guitar - with the digital. The precision and elegance of studio machines are joined in thrilling harmony with the freedom, superb complexity and roughness of jazz improvisation. Remarkable, revelatory and timeless.

FIL021 - ESSENCE VOL. 1 Compilation

Filterwolf releases the first single from his upcoming third album Viva La Rave, entitled Brooklyn Via Montmartre. This single is intervowen with three state-of-the-art remixes from Jimmy Edgar (Warp, Hotflush), Altered Natives (Hyperdub, 3024) and Eduardo D'Alirio (International DJ Gigolos, Filigran). The original track is nothing short of future house anthem with an elegant and catchy piano melody reminiscent of Detroit hit Strings Of Life, finest jazz percussions and vocoder action, which all serve to catapult this track into the new sonic spheres. Jimmy Edgar, a wayward star producer from Detroit, now residing in Berlin, brings his new found club-oriented futuristic sleaze into his rework of the track, making it a giant dancefloor burner guaranteed to clock in over 10 minutes. Altered Natives, a celebrated producer from London, whose last album was on many top ten lists of 2011, makes a rough and tumble remix, with grimy sub basses and incredible intensity in his original interpratation of the UK Funky style. And finally, Eduardo D'Alirio adds new sophisticated layers and playful details layered on top of the original track, making it a perfect summer manifesto.

With his constantly evolving sonic identity and ever increasing output quality, it is no wonder that Filterwolf's new album has been eagerly anticipated by club-goers, home-listeners and aficionados thirsty for unique and original sound in their headphones. His third album derives its name from political revolutions engulfing entire world, as well as musical direction with which the personal creative revolution of Filterwolf had started. "Viva la Rave" is surely his most immediate and sensual record to date. Filterwolf wanders across outer edges of house and techno realm on this album, scoping out where boundaries have been erected and looking beyond them to aural vistas previously uncharted. Across the twelve tracks of "Viva La Rave", he takes us on an intense, supreme journey. His magnificent production finesse displays in a smashing tour de force, showing off his natural understanding of the dance floor. This raw sound energy will inevitably keep crowds moving in the coming months and years. Tracks like "No Gravity" or "Pon De Leo" sway in persistent and deeply rhythmical motion, conveying beautiful imagery painted with Filterwolf's hypnotic brush strokes. Others tracks, such as "Iguana", "Olympia" and "Zeros And Ones" draw us into awesome acoustic tapestries with gorgeous melodies and sprawling, synth- and sample-heavy effervescence of sound. Sonic hallmarks of Filterwolf's style are edgy and euphoric resonances, which make this longplayer sound full of lust for life and bursting with verve. "Viva La Rave" sets out to further extend the limits of house and techno genre and situates itself where electronic music deviates from expectations. The result is deep, vivacious and ultimately, something new.
