Slow Nomaden is the project of Münster based Tobias Kroschel. In his DJ Sets and productions he takes the listener on an electronic journey through sounds of different cultures and spheres. 

Slow Nomaden enjoyed many successes on Spotify during 2021 including numerous features on Organica and Electronic Rising playlists and recently hitting 2M streams on Vasudeva (HMWL / Nu Boheme)

Slow Nomaden turns the original Calypso by the Parisian songwriter Wanduta into an organic downtempo gem with a mystic flute. 

Wanduta (HMWL / Rituel Recordings / Underyourskin / Buddha Bar) is Parisian producer, self-taught guitarist and pianist who has been making music for more than a decade. He has a slow, sensual sound that mixes warm samples, deep baselines, tribal rhythms and hypnotic melodies.
 
His new tune Calypso is about the difficulties we have to understand each other as people, particularly between two people in love, and how your love for a single person can destroy things that were important for you before.
 
Adds the artist, "Sometimes, your love for someone else affects the way you think, which can be a very positive and enriching thing, but at the same time, can affect your ideals and make you lose sight about what was important to you before. It is like Calypso the nymph, who detained Odysseus for seven years, preventing him from accomplishing his destiny.

Wanduta - Calypso (Slow Nomaden Remix) [4th February HMWL]

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMLP048

An ethereal, swirling body of work, Dreamin’ Colours is rich in texture, colour and imagination. Satori stretches himself out through languorous, mystical explorations of both the digital and the analogue elements of music, the result a beautifully conspired collection of world music, steeped in electronic and Balkan roots, and straddling a multitude of genres from blues and indie electronic to opera, folk and beyond.

“I wanted to use the studio and recording techniques that were used in the seventies and eighties for this album. My whole point was to make electronic music sound as if it were being played by a band, which is why I collaborated with Henry Sarmiento of Sonic Vista Studios. It was so inspiring - he taught me how they approached recording in the eighties and we applied that to each track. Throughout the whole process, we were never aiming for the perfect take. Instead, we were looking for the take that had the most character.”

Colourful Dream begins proceedings, taking the form of a gently building opener. From the pluck of a guitar string to hypnotic flute like elements, we soon arrive at the enchanting world of Lalai ft. Ariana Vafadari. Recorded in a four-hundred year old water well, it showcases the transcendent sound with which Satori has become best known, meandering through rustling hats and tribal-like drum patterns whilst the dulcet tones of Ariana shimmer softly throughout. 

Tuti ft. Kalima takes on a harder edge, with gritty drum patterns opening into melancholic chords early on. Kalima’s vocals add an emotive touch to the piece, paving the way for Moj Dilbere: a euphoric cut that feels tribal and reflective in one.

We land at a similarly ethereal soundscape on The Gin Song ft. Mybaby, as star-like synths pulse alongside punchy percussion before Yellow Blue Bus ft. Laska takes its place. It begins with real-life ambience, made up of sounds recorded live in Ibiza as a bus passes and birds chirp merrily in the background. This swiftly gives way to a guitar-flecked bassline, opening neatly into the vocal offerings of both Satori and Laska.

Troublemaker ft. El Mundo retains an inherent melodic quality, progressing through poignant strings and whispering kick-hat combos. It leaves us feeling pensive, as Condor ft. Ora Dea, Moshe Halperin comes next. It’s the album’s penultimate piece, one that celebrates the native people of Chile through the use of their very own language. Powerful and poignant, the mesmeric sounds of Ora Dea and Moshe meander subtly into Lonely Boy (Redux) ft. Hugo Oak. The closing saga brings things to a wonderfully subdued finish, rounding off the album on a wholeheartedly calming note. 

Although raised in the Netherlands, where commercial electronic music is of course king, on Dreamin’ Colours it is undeniably Satori’s Balkan heritage that layers his production with dreamy, ethereal, Eastern European influences. The album’s overriding voice lies in his exultant celebration of Eastern European music, weaving vibrant threads of its earthy, melodic, rhythmic sounds into his thick musical tapestry. Written during the pandemic and driven by the ache of separated love, the album is, Satori says, his most personal yet.

'Love You More [edit]' is taken from the forthcoming album: Nathan Haines - Notes (Deluxe Edition), featuring remixes, edits & live recordings alongside the tracks that originally appeared on the 2024 album Notes.

'Love You More' has a classic deep house sound, with Nathan's signature soprano sax recorded in one single take. The tack was co-witten by Nathan's long time collaborator Phil Asher, who tragically passed away in 2021.

“This was my dedication to Phil after his passing. It was a shock to all of us when it happened. He  was so alive and so ‘there’ as a person…it took me a few weeks to really grasp he wasn’t part of  this world anymore. But actually he IS a part of this world and will always be via his music and the  way he lived life." - Nathan Haines
