Dear Reader,
It’s rare that I find the moment for a long walk on a Saturday night. Last weekend I fortunately did or better: The moment found me and so I found myself walking through empty side streets of Berlin, listening to upcoming music of Oceanvs Orientalis and Wide Awake. Both are following different paths, both are very beautiful and both proof that finally we’re done with the abuse of certain instruments. For now it seems the disguised devils are defeated and we are ready to move on to the next level. But don’t you worry, the next hype is just waiting around the corner!
At 5 in the morning my physical journey led me to Kraftwerk Berlin for Maerzmusik-Festival, where I lay down on one of the camp beds they provided. What a treat! I was taken far away by the music and had some transcendental moments that made me want to send out my fondest regards to you.
A little bit earlier, last week, I finally managed to finalise and let go a lot of new and old tracks, ready to be released in the coming months (or years). Today I happened to find another track that I don’t need to keep in my personal drawers anymore. 
The working title „New Year“ suggests it happend around NYE, probably eight years ago.
I almost decided to keep the title, as to me it feels like a new year is just starting now, but when I saw these words on the wall, I thought that might be the right name for the song. 
It’s free. And you don’t even need to like me to download it.
Enjoy and if not, enjoy something else. 
Happy new year, month, week, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond, picosecond, femtosecond, attosecond, zeptosecond, yoctosecond. 
Forgot something?
Happy new Now!

As a producer, musician, DJ and serial collaborator, Chris Schwarzwälders distinctive style of deep, restrained house is hard to pin down, but you’ll always know it’s him when you hear it. 

Born in Frankfurt am Main in the 80s, he started playing hiphop in the 90s. While making beats on his MPC2000, he dropped into Offenbach’s Robert Johnson club and fell in love with techno. 

In 2009, Chris moved to Berlin and started DJing at KaterHolzig, where he found a group of people who thought about music in the same way he did. In contrast to the trends of the late 00s, the sounds being made from this little paradise on Berlin’s river Spree were slower, softer, and more soulful than a lot of what was being played in clubs at the time. 

It was here that Chris began to cement his reputation as both a solo producer and collaborator, who was capable of bringing his trademark sounds to a whole number of side-projects - many of which have gone on to play to crowds around the globe. He joined the Feathered Sun collective in 2013, together with a group of friends including Acid Pauli, Nu, Jo.Ke and Raz O’Hara. Dreamy, groovy and often improvised, the collective represented a special kind of musical freedom in which a group of producers came together to create something new in a singular, live moment. 

At the same time, Chris’ friend Mira was making moves of her own, and they started to play back-to-back sets, soundtracking the legendary Monday mornings of KaterHolzig, and now, Kater Blau. The two, who are both residents at Kater Blau, have now been playing together internationally for almost a decade, and have formed a common musical understanding that translates throughout every one of their sets - deep, clubby and melancholic. This partnership has also carried on into the studio, where they have collaborated on numerous hits. 

His most light-hearted side comes out in collaboration with Iannis Ritter, where the two musicians take on a weirder, more melodic & electro approach than Chris’ other proejcts. 

If you were to ask him, Chris would describe himself as reserved, logical, rational, melancholic and humorous. Which is why you’d never hear him telling you about the hundreds of nightclubs and festivals he’s played around the globe, or the number of hits he’s had with his productions. If you’re lucky though, Chris might tell you about his favourite synthesizers, and get lost in a conversation all about electronics and sound. Which is exactly where Chris wants to be - lost in electronics and sound.
