Introducing Wilhelm Richard, an emerging artist set to captivate the music scene with his highly anticipated EP, "ROOTS." Release Date: 1st of March 2024 on Springstoff Label.

Wilhelm Richard's EP is a testament to his innate talent and creative prowess. With a blend of genres that spans rock, pop, jazz, classical, and progressive metal, he intricately weaves together elements from diverse musical landscapes to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Prepare to be enchanted as Wilhelm Richard infuses electronic music with organic textures and melodies, breathing new life into the genre.

The EP kicks off with "WHEN WE COLLIDE," a heartfelt love song that showcases Wilhelm Richard's lyrical depth and melodic sensibility. The track beautifully captures the intricate dynamics of love, drawing listeners into a world where emotions collide and time stands still. Let the enchanting melodies and poignant lyrics wash over you, igniting a sense of connection and resonance.

Next up, "CHIMES OF ORPHEUS" takes you on a sonic adventure that is both nostalgic and euphoric. Inspired by a unique sample of a glockenspiel, Wilhelm Richard expertly crafts a composition that draws you in with its ethereal beauty. Close your eyes and allow the harmonies to transport you to a place where warm summer breezes whisper through the trees and memories are made.

Rounding out the EP is "LIVABLE WORLD," a thought-provoking anthem that calls for unity and positive change. Wilhelm Richard's impassioned lyrics serve as a reminder that we all share a common humanity, regardless of our backgrounds or beliefs. Let this uplifting track inspire you to make a difference, no matter how small, and contribute to building a world that we can all be proud of.

The renowned artist Mila Stern did a Remix of the first track of the EP "When We Collide", and said about the process: "I used the Jupiter Bassline from the original track as the foundation for my remix, infusing it with a warm and inviting vibe. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process of working with vocal chops, treating them as standalone instruments and experimenting with granular manipulation techniques."

Wilhelm Richard's EP, "ROOTS," showcases an artist who is poised to make a significant impact on the music landscape.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
