Julian Wassermann - Komet EP (Snippets) OUT NOW!

Afterhours

Einmusika087 | N’to - Starlings EP

Cold and full of pressure, that’s how we start. With strong claps and dark synths the dancefloor is getting crowded. “Starlings“ is heavy and energetic at the same time. Some really nifty synth work by N’to bringing kind of salvation after the break and from that point it feels like a space trip into another world. To make your journey unforgettable we added a remix by Mister Henry Saiz - which is bringing more light without loosing the deepness of the track. The keys are perfected and a nice vocal keeps the theme open. On the B-Side you’ll find “J’oublie“ - a brain-melting array of warm and huge sounds, a storyboard full of emotional and breath-taking moments. The song comes without rest. It gets build up all the time, bigger and bigger. We say welcome to a complete new world based in the Einmusika universe.

'Starlings' will be out November the 14th!

Starlings EP

N’to - Starlings (Henry Saiz Remix)

Get Hidden Empire's 'Mind Palace' here: 
/Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/mind-palace/2217411
/iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/mind-palace/1348562249

Bridging instrumental tact with melodic mysticism, live act and DJ duo Hidden Empire present their debut album Mind Palace, the fruit of their labour of one whirlwind year. On Stil Vor Talent they find a welcome home, having already gained traction with several releases on the label as well as other renowned imprints such as Suara. 

Ranging from downtempo electronica to iterative techno with groovy house incursions, the diversity of the genres explored across the 16 tracks mirror the Cologne-based artists’ own sonorous influences as well as their diverse musical sympathies.


Artist: Hidden Empire @hiddenempire
Title: Mind Palace
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT222
Release: 2018-03-23

1. Journey into Self
2. World of Fantasy 
3. Hummus
4. Pure feat. Inga Nelke
5. Acid Flashback 
6. Asmoday 
7. Limbo in Detroit 
8. In the Woods 
9. Fafnir 
10. Black Beauty
11. Marching Whales 
12. Tornado 
13. Natural Takeover 
14. Brave of the Minority 
15. Mind Palace
16. Dejavu 

Fluid, atmospheric tracks set a consistently lush vibe overall, from the esoteric kickoff track Journey Into the Self to subtle warm-up tools like the oriental-instilled Hummus and Fafnir, or the couple’s first vocal collaboration Pure. Fellow Cologne singer Inga Nelke brings a touch of sensuality with her soft vocal chops atop a broken beat-infused melody accented with gripping piano chords.

But it’s in club tracks that the album abounds, found often in antithetical pairings, whether it’s the marriage of a Moog bassline and warm Caribbean rhythms in Detroit in Limbo or the juxtaposition of analogue and digital rhythms on In The Woods, created using sylvan recordings as percussion. It’s the title track Mind Palace, however, that reaches the apex of antipolar combinations, displaying a breakbeat-heavy lead doused in exotic vocals perched onto a steady bassline, underlining the artists’ knack for innovative rhythms.

A nod to the classic heydays of acid comes in the shape of Acid Flashback, centred around a massive synth hook courtesy of the iconic Roland 303, a tinge slightly present on the spiralling fierce cut Asmoday, albeit a fraction more subtle.

Energy is one of the key traits of the album, as Branko and Niklas conceive a copious amount of hard-hitting tracks that amplify and engage towards the second half of the record. Black Beauty oozes stamina from the get-go, its relentless groove guiding a subdued bassline and minimal elements towards the peak point. With Natural Takeover, a tech powerhouse with a tenacious lead and ominous vocals, the album reaches its darkest corner of the Mind Palace universe.

All in all, the artists showcase a plethora of straightforward tracks with heterogeneous sound aesthetics, where a closer listen can only reveal further and more elaborate depths.

Hidden Empire - Hummus [Snippet]

Available now: https://KompaktRecords.lnk.to/LeftEyeLeftSD

We miss the days of spontaneously releasing music. Kölsch sent "Left Eye Left" to us last week and felt the need to immediately release this to the world. So without further ado... 

"Left Eye Left was originally intended as a part of my 1989 album, but in myriad of demos i had for the album it got lost in the finishing process. 

I rediscovered the demo just before my Eiffel Tower set, and decided it was a fitting ode to the city of love, so it was included in my set. 

The reactions on the piece where so overwhelming, the only right thing to do was to release it." - @kolsch

NTEIBINT & Stella - A State Nearby (Adam Port Calypso Remix)

A clear bass is knocking at your door while synth chords drifting in. Enough space to get into the groove of Miyagi’s new EP “The Last Day“. The Hamburg based producer recently surprised the scene with his longplayer „Scene From A Dream“ and makes the next big step with tight and techy grooves now. The song is breaking up the clouds just to close them again after you’ve seen the warm lightning beams for a moment. A hopeful multi-layered and on-point arrangement. „When You Whisper“ comes with a beating drum and long lasting authentic beats.

Kleintierschaukel - Drum 'N' Feels EP

Tracklist:
A1: Long Time Ago (feat Johannes Ton)
A2: Crazy Dayz (feat Chrischou)
B1: Kidz Of Tibet (feat Badau)
B2: Buffi And The Dolphins

Artist: Kleintierschaukel
Title: Drum 'N' Feels
Label: Akumandra
Cat-No: AK002
Format: 12” Vinyl + Digital
Release Date: Vinyl (September 18th 2019) Digital (September 24th 2019)
Artwork: Diego Cíntora & Eli Sopcich

Kleintierschaukel’s first release on Akumandra presents an unstable proximity to the archaic, with equatorial acoustics that modulate between organic and synthetic states. Drum'N'Feels is about the re-enchantment of culturally heavy sampling - an acknowledgment to an indigenous sound that warps the perception of home and away.

The first track, Long Time Ago, utilizes sporadic square waves as the engine and embellishes with a series of sensory sound cyclones.

Crazy Dayz is an auditory story telling of an event horizon that is never fully approached. Arbitrary vocals and low swells allude to the dynamic haze of nighttime euphoria.

The syncopated guitar strum provides an omnipresent reality to Kidz of Tibet - a deconstruction of a desolate, desert melody to form a vacant audio-synthesis.

Buffi and the Dolphins, the final track of the EP, is a full-bodied submersion into subterranean liquid percussion. The splurge on cavernous sampling builds the frequency layers needed for this multi-textural sound.

“We have always been very fortunate to meet and know many talented producers. In recent years, we have been exploring those relationships with different remixes and collaborations, and every time something exciting came out. That’s why we started our Synchronicity project. To challenge ourselves making inspiring, fun and beautiful music.‘Synchronicity’ means "the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. This very well describes how our path led to the place we are now – somewhere between the club and indie scenes.” – WhoMadeWho

KOMPAKT welcomes back Copenhagen’s WhoMadeWho. Tomas Barfod’s penchant for electronic music poetically juxtaposed with Tomas Høffding and Jeppe Kjellberg’s respective backgrounds in rock and jazz, gives their music an electrifying combination of sounds, merging a variety of influences to produce a unique sonic fingerprint that is emotive, irresistible and immensely satisfying. 

Though we both have yet to strike a note together since the release of their 2012 full length “Brighter” (KOM 254), WhoMadeWho have been remarkably productive. With two full lengths, a DJ mix for Watergate’s series and releasing two of 2019’s most played out club tracks together with Rampa (Innervisions) and Artbat (Watergate Records), the trio have found themselves diving more and more into the world of electronic music, tapping into their goldmine of connections within the scene to spearhead an array of collaborations. 

Synchronicity is all about ‘meaningful coincidences’ – bringing interpretation to bear on connections that have no actual causal relationship. It’s a canny concept to pin onto Copenhagen trio WhoMadeWho’s latest album, which sees them return to Kompakt for the first time since 2012’s Brighter.

This re-established connection helps us to understand the synchronicity at play, the way that the WhoMadeWho core ave built an album around collaboration with friends and peers, much as Kompakt is all about cross-connections and family. On Synchronicity, WhoMadeWho call on friends old and new – Michael Mayer, Echonomist, Adana Twins, Alex Boman, Robag Wruhme, Frank Wiedemann, Sainte Vie, Mano Le Tough, Marc Piñol, Rebolledo, and Perel is the cast list; WhoMadeWho direct the material, shaping it into one lovingly flowing gem of dance-pop glory.

There’s something particularly generous about hearing an album as all-inclusive and open-hearted as Synchronicity in the midst of the profound social and cultural shifts we’re currently experiencing. While some songs on Synchronicity were recorded together, in real time, such as the collaborations with Adana Twins and Rebolledo, most of them have taken place via long distance, thanks to the pandemic lockdown. But you don’t need to know who was where to understand either the magnesium-flare melancholy of “Sooner”, recorded with Piñol, which has you holding your breath with the gentle thrill of the song’s lush melody, or the stomping strut of the following Adana Twins collaboration, “Shadow Of Doubt”.

Elsewhere, there’s the stentorian robot voice at the heart of “Hamstring”, where they’re joined by Michael Mayer; the lustrous headsoak of “Twenty Tears”, a tender intervention by Rebolledo; the strip-light, slow-motion disco strut of “Cecil”, produced alongside Echonomist; or the glittering, arpeggio dreamwork that Perel helps sculpt into shape on “Der Abend birgt keine Ruh.”… Really, there’s so much to celebrate here, a panoply of pleasures. From pop revelations to dancefloor delirium to slow-burning brooders, Synchronicity is just that; a space for the joys of the unexpected to collide, and to be given meaning by their coincidental co-existence in WhoMadeWho’s beautiful world.
