Jazz & Milk radio show w/ Dusty (December 2022 / dublab.de)

The Vanbergen-Caluwaerts home was a hive of creative activity throughout the end of 2022, with the studio constantly buzzing with new music. Despite a relatively quieter year for releases in 2022, due to Reinhard and Charlotte's tour commitments with Rheinzand and Hercules & Love Affair, they returned home full of inspiration and energy. The result is an impressive six new albums, all set to be released in 2023 through their trusted Danish label, Music For Dreams. Each album will feature a carefully chosen single followed by the full album.

'Together' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

One of the standout tracks from Reinhard Vanbergen's upcoming album is "Together," the lead single for his second 2023 release. This is the follow-up album to 2021's "Reinhard & Reinhard". This first record was a collaboration between Vanbergen and the other Reinhard, Reinhard Roelandts. Vanbergen provided acoustic layers over electronic modular synths that Roelandts built himself. The goal was to emphasize the atmosphere that Roelandts had already created. For this follow-up album, a very different approach was taken, with the focus shifting to finding the hidden essence of the song. Charlotte Caluwaerts took on a crucial role in this album, using her vocal prowess and lyrical skills to help bring out the songs. The result is a powerful collaboration aptly titled "Reinhard & Reinhard & Charlotte," featuring the drumming talents of Gert Malfliet (known for his work with Tristan, Tsar B, and Tessa Dixson).

With complete creative freedom for the lyrics, Caluwaerts drew on recent life experiences to craft emotive and nostalgic verses that explore the theme of goodbyes. The lead single "Together" is a poignant reminder that even in the face of big goodbyes, the connections we make with others remain unbreakable. The album artwork for both the single and album features stunning paintings by Nicolas Boussemaere, whose realistic style perfectly complements the dreamy and wistful mood of the music.

Reinhard Vanbergen, Reinhard Roelandts, Charlotte Caluwaerts - Together - s0700

The Ghent home of Reinhard Vanbergen and Charlotte Caluwaerts has proven a cornucopia of wonderful pop music in past years. From the critical triumph of their indie-disco project Rheinzand (alongside Mo Disko) to a sprawling catalog of solo and collaborative albums, the two seem to have struck upon a bottomless goldmine of dazzling electronic pop.

On this newest release, the pair team up with electronic sound magician Reinhard Roelandts to deliver a teeming bundle of intelligent and atmospheric electronic pop. From the bleeping neo-psychedelia of ‘More Than I Wanted’ or ‘Consolation for the Times’ to the shrewd art-pop of ‘Bitter Silhouette’ or the quirky aquatic charm of ‘Only Love’.

The sound is playful and whimsical yet assured and sophisticated. It is a more humble and reflective pop than for example Rheinzand’s operatic disco. Still not afraid to rock the house, though, as evident on the galvanized ‘Days in Between’ or the rousing, anthemic ‘Dagger’. References span from Animal Collective to Cate Le Bon to Scott Walker.

This truly enigmatic sound is built from Roelandt’s maverick experimentation with homemade modular synths layered among multi-instrumentalist Vanbergen’s acoustic arrangements. This was also the recipe for last year’s Reinhard & Reinhard. The new element now, of course, is Charlotte’s vocals. But it is an addition that alters the shape, the songs here being more structured and dramatic, built around the enchanting vocals and their wistful and dreamy lyrical motifs.

Reinhard Vanbergen & Reinhard Roelandts & Charlotte Caluwaerts (Full Album) - 0310

Hell Yeah has enlisted two superb artists to remix a favourite cut from Calm's wonderful Before album and they are label friends Willie Graff and Gallo.

Graff is a proper DJ who has been a resident at Cielo in NYC and Pacha’s Funky Room in Ibiza for the last 15 years while also releasing on plenty of esteemed labels. His Calm remix has already become a beachside classic this summer with plenty of magical sunset plays. And for good reason - it's a soothing sound with pillow bass, gentle synth arps and aching piano keys all unfurling to beautifully mesmeric effect.

Balearic Gabba Sound System member and Buena Onda resident Gallo has long been associated with this label and has a new single coming here soon. This remix is a great taster of it with its wide open sense of space and heavenly saxophone lines which drift and flat above the gentle patter of organic percussion and starry-eyed keys. 
A downtempo masterclass that offers sheer musical escapism.

Music For Dreams are proud to announce that a new album is underway from the electronic pop-ensemble Hess Is More. The first track from the project, titled 

‘You And Me And Them’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Led by Danish drummer and composer Mikkel Hess, the ensemble has released 12 albums since 2003, donning a shifting constellation of musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Hess Is More’s material combines styles of electronic music, jazz, krautrock and afrobeat in a pop-oriented, melodically rich sound.

The act is also known for its work across mediums, collaborating with visual artists, designers and filmmakers, recently producing the highly acclaimed series of dramatized concerts slash art installations known as Apollonian Circles.

The forthcoming album, titled CÆKE, bridges back to Hess Is More’s early albums, with the act scaled back down to a solo operation of Mikkel Hess writing, producing and performing most of the music himself. The result is a more minimalistic and personal sound than the sprawling material of later ensemble-projects.

The first single, titled ‘You And Me And Them’, is a gentle, spacious pop composition built around piano, drum machine and vocals, all performed by Mikkel Hess. A pristine and wistful mood that blooms and deepens through soft, twirling melodics.

The song was written by Mikkel Hess his wife Nira Kehar in their countryside home. The serene mood of the track reflects this setting, capturing the intimacy of time spent by the piano. In Mikkel’s own words, “the song is a close-up view of life as it unfolds twenty years after the first album came out, and a reaching out to those who might be listening from the beyond.”

The album is scheduled for release in late 2024 on Music For Dreams.

Supported by Koda’s Cultural Funds and Musik Forlæggerne.
