For his debut album To Sit Quietly Where Everything is Moving Fast, https://soundcloud.com/love-over-entropy used only one source: a Yamaha DX11 synthesizer. It’s a vintage machine from 1987 that was also used by early IDM and techno producers. “Working with an artificial constraint unleashed a different kind of creativity," says the The Hague-based musician, who normally does not shy away from elaborate productions.

Love over Entropy spent a lot of time working out the correct order of the tracks on the album. "I think it's important that the story also flows well on a higher level. It was a nice puzzle to solve."

Although the Covid pandemic is long behind us, much of the material on this album comes from the days when society was still largely in lockdown. "Which explains the title," says Love over Entropy. "But it also refers to my distancing myself from the hustle and bustle of the dancefloor. Up until then, I was primarily making dance music."

You won't find any kick drums or heavy bass lines on To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast. It is intimate, meditative and often very beautiful ambient music. But not the formless kind that seems to dominate chill-out playlists these days. Tracks like Finnkroken, Tidalene and Rotiriot have a story to tell, with a lot of effort put in to get it just right.

“To me, making music is mostly about the process. So I will spend many hours working on details that probably nobody will ever notice. Above all, the pastoral melodies stand out, undulating back and forth like foam on the surf. The harmonies are reminiscent of Isan, Boards of Canada and Murcof, while the album also pays homage to the Artificial Intelligence period on Warp Records.

According to the Dutch producer, a lot of current ambient music falls short of the original idea, as coined by Brian Eno. "Eno once described ambient as music that should be 'as ignorable as it is interesting', but nowadays it seems to have become 'as unignorable as it is uninteresting'," Love over Entropy says cheekily. "Ambient music really is everywhere, with modern production tools often doing the heavy lifting."

With To Sit Quietly Where Everything is Moving Fast, the producer hopes to make a difference, simply by raising the bar. It's a journey that can be taken both horizontally and vertically, and hopefully offers comfort. Or as the producer describes it: "music that offers a refuge."

Anhalt EBM describes a late 2000s trend in electronic body music (EBM), where bands influenced by old school EBM pioneers Nitzer Ebb and DAF, present a minimalistic, energy-filled, and sometimes punk influenced electronic music style The subgenre's name stems from an area in Eastern Germany Saxony-Anhalt, due to strong community there. including both bands and fans. Up until 2010 the genre has been mostly dominated by German and Swedish bands, but during the last years bands from many other countries have emerged, spreading the genre across the world.

Anhalt EBM can be described as minimalist electronic music with an energy filled and tough masculine attitude. However, various variations of the genre have emerged, i.e. some Swedish bands have gone an entirely punk influenced style of EBM (Container 90, T.W.A.T., Stockholm Wrecking Crew). Otherwise, variations of straight forward, usually closer to the style of That Total Age album by Nitzer Ebb, minimalist bands with militarist (but non-politic) attitude are common (Spetsnaz, Ionic Vision, Orange Sector, and many others). Some bands have added more playful and catchy elements, drawing on some NDW influence as well (Sturm Café, Bodystyler).

Whisper of a Lost Soul in Darkness

We are thrilled to present the 10th-anniversary release on our label by Ehndo @ehndomusic - a musical project of Bautista Falco, a young artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

‘Genesis’ marks the start of his musical journey, blending deep and psychedelic sounds with a broad and exploratory approach. Inspired by life in Buenos Aires, this album reflects the artist’s day-to-day experiences and the different moods he has navigated over the past few years. From slow tempos and warm pads to broken rhythms and brain-dancing patterns, ‘Genesis’ evolves into 4-on-the-floor trance-inspired beats.

Produced by Bautista Falco
Mastering by Ilya Semashkevich
