Recondite, a long-time friend of the label, returns for an introspective outing.

With the Bird EP he presents two tracks with contrasting themes that complement each other, demonstrating his technical ability and emotional intelligence. Title track ‘Bird’ explores the notion of freedom through sonic transcendence, offering hope and optimism with its gentle melodies and subtle euphoria. ‘Secluded’ takes the opposite approach, exploring the inner conflict sparked by isolation and living in confinement. Taut beats and brooding melancholy underpin this cut, with a solemn repetitive riff adding emotive urgency.

━ info ━━━━━━━━━━━━━┑
With “Kickr”, doerd delivers a confident yet refreshingly unpretentious debut on Plastic City – a release that lets the music speak with clarity rather than volume. The EP introduces the producer’s artistic identity through two reduced, groove-oriented deep house tracks that strike a careful balance between club-driven energy and deliberate sonic restraint. Instead of leaning on flashy hooks or oversized drops, doerd focuses on the essential elements: pulse, texture, groove, and atmosphere.

This approach gives the EP a raw, honest quality — the kind of authenticity that emerges when a producer trusts the power of subtle movement over overt dramatics. Every sound feels placed with intention; every rhythm breathes with space. “Kickr” and “Ortho” evolve gradually, building a hypnotic momentum that invites listeners into a deeper listening experience, whether on the dancefloor or in a quiet, reflective moment with headphones.

The “Kickr EP” stands as a subtle yet powerful counterpoint to today’s rapid electronic landscape – timeless, precise, and guided by a producer who knows the strength of restraint. With refined groove and space, the tracks unfold quietly but with intention, revealing their depth through fine details.

━ tracklist ━━━━━━━━━━━┑
KICKR: A reduced deep house tool with rolling basslines, clear drums and finely placed accents. Minimalist, driving and perfect for setting the tone for early warm-ups or late afterhours.

ORTHO: The warmer, more introspective antithesis. Velvety textures, soft pads and a calm, continuous groove create an immersive feeling – ideal for deeper terrain and atmospheric transitions.

/Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/mind-palace/2217411
/iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/mind-palace/1348562249

Bridging instrumental tact with melodic mysticism, live act and DJ duo Hidden Empire present their debut album Mind Palace, the fruit of their labour of one whirlwind year. On Stil Vor Talent they find a welcome home, having already gained traction with several releases on the label as well as other renowned imprints such as Suara. 

Ranging from downtempo electronica to iterative techno with groovy house incursions, the diversity of the genres explored across the 16 tracks mirror the Cologne-based artists’ own sonorous influences as well as their diverse musical sympathies.


Artist: Hidden Empire @hiddenempire
Title: Mind Palace
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT222
Release: 2018-03-23

1. Journey into Self
2. World of Fantasy 
3. Hummus
4. Pure feat. Inga Nelke
5. Acid Flashback 
6. Asmoday 
7. Limbo in Detroit 
8. In the Woods 
9. Fafnir 
10. Black Beauty
11. Marching Whales 
12. Tornado 
13. Natural Takeover 
14. Brave of the Minority 
15. Mind Palace
16. Dejavu 

Fluid, atmospheric tracks set a consistently lush vibe overall, from the esoteric kickoff track Journey Into the Self to subtle warm-up tools like the oriental-instilled Hummus and Fafnir, or the couple’s first vocal collaboration Pure. Fellow Cologne singer Inga Nelke brings a touch of sensuality with her soft vocal chops atop a broken beat-infused melody accented with gripping piano chords.

But it’s in club tracks that the album abounds, found often in antithetical pairings, whether it’s the marriage of a Moog bassline and warm Caribbean rhythms in Detroit in Limbo or the juxtaposition of analogue and digital rhythms on In The Woods, created using sylvan recordings as percussion. It’s the title track Mind Palace, however, that reaches the apex of antipolar combinations, displaying a breakbeat-heavy lead doused in exotic vocals perched onto a steady bassline, underlining the artists’ knack for innovative rhythms.

A nod to the classic heydays of acid comes in the shape of Acid Flashback, centred around a massive synth hook courtesy of the iconic Roland 303, a tinge slightly present on the spiralling fierce cut Asmoday, albeit a fraction more subtle.

Energy is one of the key traits of the album, as Branko and Niklas conceive a copious amount of hard-hitting tracks that amplify and engage towards the second half of the record. Black Beauty oozes stamina from the get-go, its relentless groove guiding a subdued bassline and minimal elements towards the peak point. With Natural Takeover, a tech powerhouse with a tenacious lead and ominous vocals, the album reaches its darkest corner of the Mind Palace universe.

All in all, the artists showcase a plethora of straightforward tracks with heterogeneous sound aesthetics, where a closer listen can only reveal further and more elaborate depths.

Space meets rhythm on Moonwalk’s Galactica EP, brimful of intergalactic grooves in the shape of four dance-heavy original tracks. 

Artist: Moonwalk @moonwalk-mw
Title: Galactic
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT237
Release: 2018-12-14

1. Galactic
2. Euplea
3. Nocturna
4. Endless

Opener Galactica sets the tone with electric pads and spacious, echo-ridden synths that create a playful yet compelling melody with a highly memorable bassline. Euplea is arguably the most stirring cut of the four, with a whirlwinding pad and incessant bass that emerge from the first bar. Nocturna brings forth equally spatial sounds, arched around a massive build up with a breathtaking drop. It’s the perfect drama-infusing track, an ace in the sleeve when deployed at the right timing. Channeling huge drums in a tribal-like ambiance, Endless creates suspense through minimal layers and lofty pads, rounding off the release in a well-timed manner.
