All Comes feat. Gry

"'I Fell in Love' is a lush and emotive tune, one whose airy melodies and icy structure mirrors the group's "Scandinavian surroundings of native forests and snow," from which Gidge is said to gather much of its inspiration. Spanning over six minutes, the track moves at a patient pace, gradually adding melodies and new layers of miniature percussion to the song's somber bounce as it builds towards its climax."

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Steve Huerta - Say It Wasn't

Ahead of his debut album, Ashworth will release an EP that contains three tracks from the record and 'Cork' is a deep, emotive cut that sets the tone for what's to come.

It's an intelligent and warm track that features soft tones, flowing drops and exquisite melodies, all of which whet the appetite for the upcoming full length.

Premiere: Ashworth 'Cork'

Tanzgemeinschaft unveils a powerful two-track release from rising artist @Prexse, titled Pyrite—a refined blend of melodic house & techno that explores both raw energy and introspective depth. With Pyrite and Exzenter, Prexse demonstrates a sharp ear for texture, groove, and evolving emotion.

The title track, “Pyrite,” opens with a tightly wound groove that immediately locks you in. A haunting melodic riff slowly emerges from beneath the surface, shimmering like the track’s namesake mineral—beautiful, structured, but never predictable. There’s a restrained intensity throughout, as Prexse carefully controls the build, letting tension smolder just below the surface. The result is a track that feels both grounded and atmospheric, equally suited for dark rooms or peak-hour outdoor sets.

“Exzenter” follows with a more hypnotic and progressive flair. The rhythm rolls effortlessly, layered with intricate synth work and rhythmic accents that swirl like smoke. It leans into repetition, but not monotony—each element evolves just enough to pull the listener deeper into its groove. There’s a subtle emotional edge here, giving the track a sense of forward motion without urgency.

Together, Pyrite and Exzenter showcase Prexse’s ability to balance drive and detail, delivering music that moves bodies and minds alike. A confident, late-night statement for the discerning selector.

Berlin based DJ Powel is next up on Behrouz’s Do Not Sit on the Furniture
label with five tracks of hugely atmospheric house.
Mixing signature rhythms with fine percussion and real musical and emotival
depth, Powel has become a key player in the globe scene. He’s a resident
with Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream around the world and Do Not Sit on the
Furniture in Miami. He also releases on Sol Selectas and is a real storyteller
as these tracks prove.
Opener Since We’ve Been is a dreamy bit of house with drifting pads passing
by like a warm breeze. Great vocal samples add real heart and ensure this
one radiants real heat. Who Put That Piano in the Jungle is a more tribal and
tropical bit of house with great drums and percussion sounding all steamy and
seductive. The groove runs deep with animal sounds adding to the exotic feel
and great piano lines bringing the melody.
Doorbell Symphony is a smooth deep house groove with subtle pads and
warm chords all fleshing out the rubbery drums. It’s classy and filled with real
emotions before A Record This Quiet picks things up with breezy house vibes.
Great chord stabs and more spring day ambience swirls around as spoken
word samples add feeling and keys drenched in echo are lovably louche and
loose. Last of all, Tuesday Blues sways to and fro with thoughtful pads
encouraging you to cut loose and allow yourself to day dream as you get lost
in the beautiful drums.
This is a tasteful EP of inventive and expressive house music filled with
worldly feelings.

A very new aspect in Christian’s work on this album is the use of vocals. While he used vocal samples for the first time in his collaboration with Ki-colleague and friend Steffen Kirchhoff on their Split EP for Ki Records, more complex vocal structures find their way into his music on „A Forest“. In the track „Eleven“ Christian works with Mohna, singer of Hamburg based band Me Succeeds, and uses her fragile voice throughout a whole track.
