running allround

Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.

‎'Imaginative and surprising collaboration. It teases out goose-bumps in way that alone gives rise to a hope this won’t be the last time we see the two working together' – BBC Music

Slo Mo

Anatolé originally meaning "rise" and then meaning "east" since that's where the sun rises is an album I made over the past year with a Casio CZ 1000 that I bought for $10 at a garage sale as my only synth. I used the MPC for sequencing and recording and various drum machines especially the E-mu Drumulator. The tracks form a Greek drama in two acts. Hope you enjoy. It is available for purchase on Bandcamp on cassette tape or DL (name your price).

Strophe

Sometimes the chords are all I need and I don't want to muddy the waters with much else. This was one of those tracks, so I decided to avoid any big drums and just let Christian's beautiful melody and my added Prophet chords grow a little throughout, held together with some vocals from the original looped up. It's just a simple piece of music.

'A starry-eyed house experience that fits seamlessly into a soulful, deep-felt dancefloor dynamic. Swells of low end surge into a crisp, percussive breakdown that never seems to shift too abruptly, leaving Arnalds' & Frahm's original melody work to come humming through the compressed kick in a blissful wave of moonlit elegance' – XLR8R

'A hazy slow-builder that sits nicely equidistant between Arnalds’ solo work and his excellent Kiasmos project' – The Line Of Best Fit

Monkeytown Podcast #006 w/ @fadimohem

Fadi Mohem’s versatile and adventurous approach allow for constant forward momentum and a truly refreshing energy on the dancefloor. His Monkeytown Podcast proves just that - it is gripping at every turn with the energy and flare he puts into his sets and productions. The selection emphasizes his deep affinity with old school dub and Detroit techno - it starts at lower tempos with tracks that usually you won’t get to hear on a club night at peak time; then it gradually increases the pace from there going some way to demonstrate his capabilities when at the helm of the party.
