and we’ll leave it there…

With a little help from NASA, we present the second track from the compilation Dark Space Matters - 'Lumina'.  More here: http://bit.ly/1rt7cz0

Lumina

"Comfort Me" is taken from "Prism", the forthcoming album on Preserved Sound by Western Skies Motel.

Comfort Me - Western Skies Motel

Coming soon...

Somewhere between now and the future, a hunt begins in the blue neon space before darkness. The near dark.

Gideon Wolf’s new album lives in the headlights on that empty road, sweeping the distant violence at high speed. A soundtrack to the escape from a Ballardian dystopia.

‘Near Dark’ sees the duelling elements of Tristan Shorr’s musical output merge into one; prophetic ambience driving headlong into rhythm and distortion.  

Think Ben Frost and Max Richter colliding in a futuristic urban landscape – “a vertical Kubrick event horizon that is equal parts Nils Frahm and Oren Ambarchi” (Cyclic Defrost).

Mastered with precision by James Plotkin, the album will be limited to 200 copies, for release in September 2015, with packaging in the customary Fluid Audio style.

Standing at the intersection where techno meets classical music, Ólafur Arnalds directs the new Late Night Tales.

“When I was asked to do the next installation of the Late Night Tales series I thought "This will be fun and easy, only a couple of days work. No problem!". Six months later, I was still pulling my hair out in some kind of quest to make the perfect mix. As someone who has never really done mixes before, I learned a lot of things along the way and the whole experience was very inspiring. I decided to approach the mix in a similar way as I would one of my scores. This is the soundtrack of my life. I included songs from many of my friends and collaborators and tried to deliver a mix that represents who I am as an artist and where my influences are coming from - both personally and musically.” - Ólafur Arnalds, March 2016

One of Iceland's finest musical exports, BAFTA winning composer and producer Ólafur Arnalds makes a welcome return to Anjunadeep, following Ryan Davis' beautiful rework of 'Only The Winds' on Deep 06. Now it's the turn of Tontario to put his touch on Ólafur's orchestral original ‘Öldurót’; another memorable highlight from ‘Anjunadeep 08’.

Oora, comprised of the solo artist Federico Chiesa, is a church of analog sequencing. Using vintage analog synths, all the recordings are made from single takes without any post-editing. The music is heavily based on the sounds of the iconic roland TB-303 and TR-808, ranging from dub acid to deep minimal techno. 

Chiesa began electronic music production after being a long time guitarist and singer with bands such as Mr. Bison, and Grace and Doom. Chiesa is now focusing on electronic with a live recording approach, limiting himself with the use of selected analog synths and old school workflow to retain the imperfect power and simplicity of the human performance.

Collaboration with Tom Adams happened naturally after both artists played at Stella Polaris in Copenhagen and discovered their mutual passion for electronic music.

Josin – the project from German composer and producer Arabella Rauch – releases a new remix of ‘Company’ from Kiasmos, the electronic duo made up of BAFTA-winning Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds, and the Faroe Islands’ Janus Rasmussen, known as the mastermind of the electro-pop outfit Bloodgroup.

Kiasmos’ take on ‘Company’ maintains the raw beauty of the original vocal and combines it perfectly with a distinctly Kiasmos style, creating affecting and emotional soundscapes from a minimal electronic approach. “It feels a bit unreal to be honest to have a Kiasmos remix of one of my songs” explains Josin. “I love their work and their approach to electronical music. While waiting to hear a first mix I was excited about how the two worlds would sound combined: From the first notes I heard, it made complete sense. Very Kiasmos, very Josin. They used the right essentials from the original and added their deepness and emotional colour in an amazing way. The way they kept the vocal part completely unfiltered and raw is exactly how I see the vocals in that track. For me, the remix raises the song to a new level and inspires me back for my own work.”

The original track was written last summer during a campervan trip in Norway on a ridiculously small, battery-powered keyboard. “It was fun because I was able to work on the melodies basically everywhere: On a kayak in the middle of the ocean, while hiking, while waiting for ferries” explains Josin. “Sometimes writing on the go and with less gear makes one focus on the essentials more. Company is about trying to become one with something but not succeeding. It´s a solitary, careful declaration of love.” 

Last year Josin released her debut acclaimed EP ‘Epilogue’ via Swedish independent label Dumont Dumont (RY X, Charlie Cunningham).  The EP sees a dynamic blend of electronic jolts, enhanced by keyboards and haunting poetic vocals that draw on a variety of traditions, from classical to electronic. As a self-taught producer, Josin is always experimenting, incorporating the electronical world into her writing as well as composing string arrangements.

Josin will be performing at this year’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto 
May 11 , 10 PM, Keychange showcase
May 12, 7.15 PM, Drake One Fifty Sessions (this is a small stripped down showcase)
