Fireflies

In the distance, through the thick fog, they began to make out the faint silhouette of a towering structure which loomed ominous upon the horizon. There had been many fabled stories told of such magic floating amidst the clouds yet it was far from the norm to witness one for yourself. As they travelled, in the tiny airplane, they wondered if few back down on earth might ever believe what they say.

Was it all just a hallucination? A trick of the mind? A trip as they careered through the heavenly skies?

Slowly but surely, the grandeur of the magnificent old building came into view.

They each rubbed their eyes and clutched each others hands tightly so as to reassure themselves that all was real.

For in the distance were castles in the sky..

das SPEZIAL have been steadily releasing innovative electronic music for a little while now, slyly emerging on the scene without great fanfare - the music has found its way into the record bags and sets of many a discerning DJ. However, the latest project is perhaps the most exciting and grand yet.as

SPEZIAL heralds the start of an expansive new EP series, 'KIDS' - the first of which includes a sprawling orchestral remix from none other than Daniel Avery. This release comes highly recommended.

Das SPEZIAL - "My Eyes"

House Again

Up On My Grind

Weatherman

Romain Poncet, widely known by his stage name Traumer, is a pivotal figure in the French electronic music scene. With a flourishing career rooted in clubs and international festivals, he has built a reputation for captivating sets and meticulous productions blending techno, house, and minimal sounds. Yet, behind the frenetic rhythms of the dance floor, another side of his artistic identity has been quietly evolving.

His latest album marks a daring departure: an introspective journey far removed from the raw energy of the clubs. Drawing inspiration from years immersed in music production and influences ranging from ambient to jazz, this project unfolds as a more narrative listening experience.

The genesis of this work is rooted in an intimate and collaborative story. During the COVID lockdown, Poncet, along with his close friends, retreated to the French countryside, where creative sparks began to fly. His friend Alex shared plans to open Datsha, a refined venue merging music and fine dining, and invited Poncet to compose its inaugural soundtrack. 

Over two and a half months, locked in the studio, he created nearly 60 tracks, culminating in a deeply personal and artistic collection, venturing into uncharted stylistic territory: jazz-infused trip-hop.

IMMINENT Collective - Florescence (Compilation)

Azaleh - Moonlight 

The perfect beginning of the newest IMMINENT story. 
The opening track on the Florescence compilation tenderly embraces listeners with a soft piano intro, signifying the beginning of evening time in the digital city of our sonic aesthetics. In a moment, Moonlight starts to project a beam of bright white light with the track immediate unfolding. 
The viscous dynamics of Moonlight is led by tangible bass-line and pulsating percussion, reminding of the medusa underwater movement. Vocal samples and atmospheric synth pads, appearing and dissipating like momentary echoes, provide listeners with an eclectic mix of nostalgia and a sense of new discoveries. Less intense ambient sequences without percussion straighten sonic variety of the piece, creating a visual image of a fade out screen before the next scene of our music story called Florescence is introduced. 
Interestingly, the possibly final text supplement for our fundamental Florescence compilation release is a review on the opening track by a producer named Azaleh, his commentary and, most importantly, an upcoming exclusive interview with the artist himself. Nevertheless, it’s a great opportunity to rediscover this sonic gift that is the compilation release. More art miracles are coming your way from the IMMINENT collective. 

Azalehs commentary on the track:

Moonlight is a really important track to me. Most of it's melodic work was laying around for a long time and I didn't know how to finish it. One day, on a train ride through Sweden I started writing what became the outro of the track later. I didn't mean to combine it with the rest of the track at first, but when I had the idea it made so much sense and sounded great to me too.
Listening to it wakes so many memories, it reminds me of the places I've been to and the people I met.
I hope that it makes you feel alike and takes you on a journey too.
