PREMIERE: Herzel x L.O.V.D - Rough Reel [Kulture Galerie]

exclusive | Natebytheway - Snazzy init | Beatnik Collective

With Beatnik Collective stepping into its third chapter, the Manchester label - helmed by Adam and Rossa - ushers in its first full artist EP, “Hardtoknow” by Natebytheway. The four-tracker marks both an end and a beginning for the San Francisco-born producer: his last works produced in Berlin before returning home, yet also the latest step in a steadily rising trajectory that already saw him turn heads with a standout release on Growing Pleasures, championed by the likes of Dr. Banana.

The A2 cut, “Snazzy init”, distills Nate’s sonic identity into five and a half minutes of understated mischief. Opening with otherworldly, space-flecked tones, the track swiftly grounds itself in a supple, groove-laden house bassline - neither flashy nor forceful, but irresistibly head-nodding. Falsetto-style vocal chops weave in and out like fleeting apparitions, giving the track a playful eccentricity without ever breaking its cool. Piano stabs punctuate the mix, trading places with those airy cosmic flourishes, lending a subtle tension-and-release dynamic that makes the track feel alive without ever overreaching.

It’s laidback, it’s slick, and it’s got that sly “must-drop” character that sneaks its way into nearly any set. “Snazzy init” slides in, takes control of the floor, and leaves you wondering why you’d ever want to play anything else. Natebytheway proves once again that his grooves may be born in Berlin, but their pull is universal.

exclusive | Natebytheway - Snazzy init | Beatnik Collective

In the deep silence of an old house, water began to speak.

It started as a whisper—one drop from the kitchen tap, falling into a steel sink with a hollow plink. Then another. And another. There was no rush, no urgency. Just rhythm. Timeless. Patient.

This was the systematic drip, the noise which would echo through the chamber all night long.

It had been raining for days. The roof, patched but never properly fixed, had finally surrendered.

Kulture Galerie are back with a new release from the highly regarded New York based producer Alien D. This one is a bit more detailed, structured and refined than some of his previous which has often focussed a little more so on the looser, dustier fringes of house music. This time things get expansive.

Torture the Artist - your source for contemporary electronic music

Torture the Artist is a webzine, or a magazine made for the internet, geared towards those with a passion for contemporary electronic music, with subgenres including Techno, Tech House, Deep House and Eletronica, as well as a small amount of Indie and Alternative. Founded in 2014 by Holger Breuer, a German native and lover of the arts, Torture the Artist now consists of five team members from all around the world.

In addition to publishing interviews, music reviews, DJ charts and track premieres, the webzine hosts out a  podcast series called 'art:casts'.

Being in its ninth year, Torture the Artist has gained a strong and active online support group, including music enthusiasts to label managers and artists themselves, creating a cohesive community with music as their bond.
