Sau geil. Eulberg plays that super track at stereo city

Always on the hunt for fresh new talent Herzblut boss Stephan Bodzin has unearthed a gem from deep in the Scottish countryside. Well, whilst Nick Dow can call the highlands his home the young producer is currently spending his days in Brooklyn, New York, having already passed through the creative musical hub of Berlin. An impressive journey already for an artist who released his first music as recently as 2011. The son of a musician, Dow has always been surrounded by an array of wonderfully eclectic sounds. "I want to make meaningful music, that has a story and takes the listener on a journey. I'm always looking to find the line between club and listening music" says Nick. A statement thats echo'd in his debut release for Herzblut. The four track Ancient Sequence EP sees the young Scotsman wrapping sensational and serene melodies around compelling and uplifting electronic spines.

Tasters (WIP)

South America's finest Ricardo Tobar returns with 'La Condamine', an EP of melodic and cosmic electronic music adventures. The four-track EP is the first release on MUSAR, a new experimental imprint out of Tel Aviv. As you can expected from a premium sound designer and tastemaker, Tobar's EP channels his roots from classic 80's darkwave analog sounds and the melodic, softer edges of early IDM.

'Rue Calme' is a deep and uplifting psychedelic trip that straddles the Chilean artist's forever dueling light and dark sound worlds, while title track 'La Condamine' draws on influences such as Boards of Canada, Orbital and science fiction movies, with an epic sunset-perfect melody and warm drums. The release comes with two stellar remixes by Marc Piñol and Ulrich Schnauss.

Forecast 021: Extrapolation

Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles announces details of his highly anticipated new album 'Articulation', out on July 31. Pr-order is on LP & DL: https://idol.lnk.to/articulation

Lead track and album centrepiece 'Articulation' links the record back to the analogue fluidity and colour of 2016’s 'Night Melody'. The division of varying time signatures, intertwined with a complex structure of notes, creates an expression of a moving structure and conjures a dreamy, motorik energy. Ryan Lee West explains, "The title track is about articulation and playfulness with shape and time. Its structure is very machine-like, but I was really interested in how melody and sense of story could develop out of this, and it became an exploration of mathematical structures — patterns and shapes having a conversation. I love that something on paper can appear rigid and calculated, but then take on new meaning based on the context that surrounds it, or how it changes over time."

'Articulation', which follows 2018’s 'Persona', was conceived with a very visual way of thinking, unusual for the London musician and producer. During the writing process Ryan drew structures, shapes and patterns by hand to try and find new ways of thinking about music, giving himself a way to problem-solve away from the computer. The album title references a piece by the avant-garde contemporary composer Györgi Ligeti, though not for its music, but for the non-traditional graphic score that accompanied it.

“I find electronic music is often battling to say something with integrity because technology and production can easily get in the way. I think the goal of a lot of electronic composers is to find a balance between the vision of the idea and the power of possibilities on the computer. With a pen and paper sketch you can compose and rethink ideas without technology getting in the way, so for me it acts as a very helpful tool to refresh the process.” — Ryan Lee West

Since the release of 'Persona', Ryan Lee West has taken his captivating live A/V set to all corners of the world. Last seen live on stage with 17 players of the London Contemporary Orchestra for a sold-out orchestral performance at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in January 2020.

Meanwhile Ryan has kept busy. After contributing an exclusive track 'Them Is Us' to Adult Swim’s coveted Singles series, he recently shared the beautifully textured solo piano piece 'Winter’s Lament' on this year’s Piano Day. He has also been in high demand as a composer, scoring Charlie Brooker’s much talked about Black Mirror episode Striking Vipers, composing original music for Secret Cinema presents Stranger Things as well as renowned choreographer Alexander’s Whitley’s groundbreaking new work Overflow which was set to premiere at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre this spring.

"For a while I had the idea of making an album for children, all about wild foods. There would be a different song for each plant, and the songs would be catchy and full of rhymes, but also educational. Somehow that idea for an album condensed itself into this one song. When I shared the album with my dad, who is a man of very few words, he wrote me and said, “Wild Food is one of the funnest songs I’ve ever heard.” That’s enough for me, by golly!" — Peter Broderick

Hole In The Wall

Scottish electronic music producer Nick Dow blurs the lines between club, ambient and experimental music, combining cinematic melodies with organic instrumentation and visceral textures, enveloping the listener in a world of surging musical landscapes.

“I like music that makes you lose sense of space and time, something that grabs a hold of you and throws you around for a while. My aim is to create a sonic force of that ilk... physically or emotionally overpowering in one way or another.”


The Scottish producer’s 5-EP back catalogue tracks the journey of his evolution as an artist – from the energetic ‘Ancient Sequence’ released on Herzblut in 2013, to the critically-acclaimed ‘Insect Parade’ released on Traum Schallplatten in 2014, Nick’s projects have demonstrated his ability to create uniquely intricate melodies and express a diversity of sentiment in his music.

2014 saw the release of two further EPs – ‘Armour Plated’ and ‘Pocket Harmony’. The former in particular emphasised Nick’s capacity to create deconstructed, glitch-infected sounds through the analogue-infused track ‘Goujian’; whilst the latter proved his ability to venture outside the realms of conventional club music through his tempestuous track ‘Leap’.

As well as producing a string of successful remixes – most notably Sebastian Mulliert’s ‘Direct Experience’ in 2015 - Nick released his 5th EP ‘Myrrh’ in 2016. Bridging the gap between melodic techno and electronica, ‘Myrrh’ further cemented Nick’s position as an ever-evolving musical storyteller.

May 2019 saw the release of Nick’s debut album ‘The Weird’. Drawing on inspiration found whilst moving between Berlin, New York, Paris and Scotland - The eclectic album explores themes of expectation, despair, and hope; weaving intricate narratives through dream-like ambiences, earthly textures and ethereal melodies
