HOTEL COSTES PRESENTS...STUDIO HC

The man who gave us countless classics from the Kompakt catalog delivers his latest stroke of genius. “Allein” is based on “Ich war allein,” a schlager song by East German pop icon Ina Martell from 1967, of which there is only a video recording from DFF that never made it onto a record. Jürgen Paape conjures up two versions from it: a heart-wrenching downbeat pop version and “Allein in Italien,” his most catchy earworm since “So weit wie noch nie.” Caution, highly addictive!

« Hôtel Costes presents... » is a collection of exclusive music recorded at Studio HC, the hotel studio, and composed by Masomenos and guests.

The first opus, 12 days a week, sounds like a modern tribute album to the chill out vibes of the Hôtel Costes legacy music collection.

Masomenos, composed of Joan Costes and Adrien de Maublanc, has a long collaboration with the french hotel music history. In fact, they have been in charge of the Costes presents serie, a minimal electronic oriented serie of albums by glacial, seuil and themselves, that hosted their first music project called “Costes presents BON VOYAGE”.

Since two years now, they have located their studio in the Hôtel Costes extension that have been on works, and named the place Studio HC. The music they produce there has shifted from a clubby energetic vibes to
a textured and organic down-tempo mood.

This first album @ studio HC definitively marks a new era in Masomenos sound.

The Hotel Costes Presents... Studio HC series delivers its fifth long player, coming courtesy of A-Delta with their ‘Port De L’Arsenal’ album. A-Delta is the collaborative guise of Studio HC’s driving force Adrien De Maublanc and jazz guitarist David Mechali, a sonic synergy which sees the pair skilfully fuse intricate electronics with soul-infused guitar work. The result is a dynamic twist on a classic downtempo aesthetic

Throughout the project De Maublanc and Mechali meld together glitched out percussion, expansive delayed guitar licks and warm low-end tones. From the ever-unfolding, freeform jazz feel of tracks like opener ‘On A Rencontré’, ‘L’Autre Soir’ and title-cut ‘Port De L’Arsenal’ through to more subtly nuanced contributions like ‘Charmant’, ‘Un Musicien’, ‘A Paris’ and ‘Une Chance’, the pair deliver a touch of class and sophistication with a nod to classic jazz composition.

Born in Berlin, raised in Paris @hotelcostes, and now expanding beyond borders.
STUDIO HC ORCHESTRA is a hybrid entity -part studio, part label, part ever-evolving ensemble founded by Joan Costes and 
Adrien de Maublanc (Masomenos)...A living orchestra without fixed form, shaped by collaborations, textures, light, and places.
It started in Berlin, then disappeared behind the construction dust of Hôtel Costes, where everything  grew quietly, in the in-between.
A studio carved into a building in transformation.
Music composed among unfinished walls, flickering bulbs, and dichroic filtered shadows. Private sessions in a space not yet meant to be seen — or heard. That’s where the orchestra found its voice.
Where silence, texture, and light became instruments in their own right layered not only with sound and silence, but with voices:
Terence McKenna, Aldous Huxley, Graham Hancock thinkers who challenge perception, decode the dream, the orchestra doesn’t just play.It listens, samples, reinterprets, and invites.
In the future: live conversations, unscripted dialogues with minds that bend the frame. This is not a genre. It’s a frequency. An invitation to tune in. Every contributor - sonic, visual, intellectual- part of the composition.
