 Finally: with Bittersweet Marek Hemmann presents his second solo album on Freude am Tanzen. A big step after the duo-release Marian, and in his far-reaching pop sonic-lingo it's clear: a real Hemmann is what this is. Ten tracks, uncomplicated and progressive, following the Hemmann means of a sophisticated mix down and laconic, scant titles. The fine electronic sound is broken over and over through the inclusion of angry-pop synthies, played in with a seemingly strong, increasing train of machines.These warm, bass-filled sounds are the accompaniment of the album, and bring the analogue past into the digital future. While they are not the core, they are but the floor on which all of the songs stand.
There is hardly a song, that in it's style belongs to another ; the album leads the listener from deep house over crispy dance floor burners and ambient songs up to spring-lusting romances with guitar samples. Already on his recent releases Hemmann revealed his strong affinity for electronic music with a fine hand for multi-faceted arrangements and that bit of swinging, into-eternity-pointing sound. Yes he is certainly among the foremost romantics of the electro-artists and he has a firm grasp of how to demonstrate his musical talents accordingly. With that, Bittersweet is again such a wonderful, mysterious body between the dance floor and the balcony, between the sweet sunrise and the energy-loaded club night. 

 Endlich: Mit Bittersweet legt Marek Hemmann sein zweites Soloalbum auf Freude am Tanzen vor. Ein großer Schritt nach der letzten Duo-Veröffentlichung unter dem Namen Marian, und in seiner weiter gedachten Pop-Klangsprache ganz eindeutig: ein echter Hemmann. Zehn Tracks, schnörkellos und vorwärtsdrängend, nach Hemmann-Manier differenziert abgemischt und lakonisch betitelt durch knappe Wortmarken. Der feine elektronische Sound wird immer wieder aufgebrochen durch den Einsatz knarzig-poppiger Synthies, eingespielt mit einem augenscheinlich stark vermehrten Maschinenpark. Diese warmen, bassigen Sounds sind der stete Begleiter durch das Album, und führen die analoge Vergangenheit in die digitale Zukunft. Denn sie sind nicht Mittelpunkt, sondern Teil eines erdigen Bodens, auf dem alle Songs stehen.
Es gibt kaum einen Song, der in seinem Stil dem anderen gleicht, das Album führt seine Hörer vom tiefen House über knackige Tanzflächenkracher und Ambientsongs bis hin zu frühlingshaften Romanzen mit Gitarrensamples. Schon auf seinen bisherigen Veröffentlichungen offenbarte sich Hemmann immer ganz einfach als großer Liebhaber elektronischer Musik mit einem feinen Händchen für vielschichtige Arrangements und den gewissen schwebenden, ins Unendliche weisenden Sound. Ja, er ist gewiss der große Romantiker unter den Elektro-Musikern, und er weiß seine musikalischen Talente auch dementsprechend einzusetzen. Und so ist auch Bittersweet wieder solch ein schönes, geheimnisvolles Wesen zwischen Tanzfläche und Balkon, zwischen süßem Sonnenaufgang und energiegeladener Club-Nacht.

Toi (Snippet)

A beat-driven journey that drifts between pulse and poetry.
This track fuses percussive weight with luminous melodies, weaving recurring vocal lines, whispered fragments, and harmonic layers that interlock with almost filigree precision. Expect sudden rhythm shifts, shimmering textures, and moments of quiet intimacy that melt back into a dense, forward-moving groove.

If you’re into tracks that feel mercurial, immersive, and slightly hypnotic — dive in.

Chronicles of Siva - Siva Prayojan

For the debut release on my own new label IPSO with Kompakt Records, I wanted to try something different. The new label, IPSO is for me to invite a friend or a hero, - someone I admire musically to do a collaboration.
I’ve long been a fan of limiting myself in the studio. 
Sometimes working with less equipment brings out the best in you, so for the first release I figured it would be interesting to experiment with this. 
Inspired by the danish dogma films, I decided to make a rule. 
As I’m not one for overdoing things, the rule is very simple.
We are only allowed to use one instrument.
I reached out to my friend and all time hero Michael Mayer to do the first collab. 
Other than being co-founder of the mighty Kompakt records, and signing me in 2009, he is a genius in a dj Booth and a great producer. 
He has always been a great inspiration to me, so we agreed to start of my new Label with a bang. 
I set out the challenge, that Michael should choose the instrument. 
As I arrived in Cologne, Michael had chosen an old Yamaha Organ. Funny side note, is that it is actually Jörg Burgers organ. Jörg is actually quiet the legend himself, but that is another story. 
Michael and I spent 1 day in the studio, and we had a blast. 
The outcome is 2 great pieces of music that I'm very proud to share with you. RELEASE DIGITAL & VINYL - MAY 20
