Balmat’s second release comes from @hoavi, aka Kirill Vasin, a Russian electronic musician whose work approaches what might be familiar reference points —deepest dub techno, atmospheric ambient, liquid drum’n’bass— with a singular and refreshing point of view.

We first became aware of Hoavi after coming across one of his tracks in a DJ mix by Leech, aka Peak Oil label founder Brian Foote; we began corresponding, which led to a massive zip file of unreleased tracks turning up in Balmat’s inbox. Music for Six Rooms has been culled down from that bounty, its disparate moods distilled into 10 profoundly immersive tracks that touch upon dream pop, dub techno, and new age, all swirled together into the headiest of ambient dreamscapes.

Active since the early 2010s, when he founded his Shells Rattle label, Hoavi has released on a number of labels including floe, Snare Tapes, Fauxpas, and Minor Notes. In October, Peak Oil will finally release his album Invariant, recorded in 2019 and intended for release in 2020, then tied up in pressing-plant backlogs for over a year. Balmat’s Music for Six Rooms follows roughly a month later; we think that the two albums offer a wonderfully complementary view of Hoavi’s talents—one rhythmic, the other largely beatless, yet both of them sensuous in the extreme.

Music for Six Rooms appears in two slightly different editions. The vinyl edition appears on a single piece of vinyl upon which some tracks have been subtly edited in length, to ensure maximum audio fidelity; the digital version features extended edits and runs some 18 minutes longer, in total, for a maximally immersive experience.

We’re thrilled to unveil “Stranger,” the latest single from Keeth, a masterfully crafted instrumental that bridges the worlds of jazz and hip-hop with effortless finesse. This lush, groove-laden track is the first glimpse into Keeth’s upcoming project, set to release later this year via Radio Juicy.

“Stranger” wraps listeners in warm synths, rich textures, and soulful rhythms that evoke a sense of introspection and nostalgia. It’s a sonic journey built for deep listening—where every layer reveals something new. Whether you're vibing out or zoning in, Keeth’s production invites you to get lost in the moment.
