Soft, fluid, slow. A melodious flow of music, filled with the sweet melancholy of ever-changing time and inevitable loneliness, telling stories of passing life. This is Doina's energy. Doina is one of Moldavia’s musical folklore dramaturgies, which has inspired our friend and artist @bliznochi to compose the songs for our today’s release „Nisip“.
The EP may be seen as a dedication to what we call our home, our home lands. The environment we have perceived in our childhood. The nature, the sounds and the emotions that are deeply rooted in our minds and hearts, carried to present times. For Bliz Nochi this home is the Nistru river in Moldavia, of which shores he has grown up, capturing the tradition of local culture.
Bliz Nochi combined both works „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" (meaning „the sand of the shores of the river Nistru“) and „Sand“ into the EP’s title "Nisip" – sand. Its memories drive Bliz Nochi’s search for new interpretations of the traditional Moldavian musical song – Doina – as a theme of connection with the land where he grew up, with the flow of the river, the passage of time and the eternal song of life.
Accompanied by Amalia Sadreev, clarinetist from Kazan, who skilfully transforms the feeling of Doina through his instrument. The clarinet sings this Doina song in „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" together with a male voice, echoing and complementing each other. 
The polyrhythmic melody of „Sand“ is performed with an acoustic guitar. Meant to induce our subconsciousness, this melody might feels familiar to some, being once sung by a male or female voice. It shall connect us with the mood of that ever-flowing song of life.

The EP comes with 4 Remixes. Each of them combining the original idea of the songs with the unique style of the artists:

Portuguese duo Ohxalá (@ohxala) casts their unmistakable groove on „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului“ by drawing a baseline, that simply invites you to jump up and dance.

Hungarian artist BéTé (@destroydisco) is known for his bright and colourful edits. He adds the song a typical pinch of playfulness and emphasises its trippy character.

C.love (@cloveontherocks-1) sprinkles the flair of her habitat, the Californian Joshua Tree desert. She kinda lets the sun dry out „Sand“ and sieves it’s grains. The result is a rough and psychedelic texture, spiced up with a fine dash of acid.

Istanbul based artist Erhan Yilmaz (@erhanyilmazedits) stirs in an oriental flavour to his interpretation and let’s the Nistru river flow a little faster. He pours in a mysterious and bouncy wave that is all set for its vigorous slosh on the dance floor.

Enjoy the flow! ~~~

As always we introduce the artist behind the music with three questions
about himself.

Who is your hero?
My father , he was an ex-football player in 60's-70's and l always
wanted to be like him when l was a child.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Somewhere there is no rush , may be l just prefer moto-caravan  so l can
visit everywhere and live wherever l want  :) but if l have to choose l
guess it should be Spain.

What was your favorite school subject?
if you mean the lesson l liked the geometry especially triangles.

For this EP we also have a very special cover with an Anadol car and a
special story ;)

Onur's Anadol story:

My uncle who passed away many years ago l think  at 1991 anyway ; he 
had  Anadol cars several times while l was a kid and l always dream
about it especially the orange one and one day we were  hanging out with Yigit at my studio  he play this guitar melody and l said play again and record that guitar part and then make the track Anadol 🙂  the guitar melody is so Anatolian and that kind of melodies every time reminds me my uncle car."

Cosmic & Damião - Doum (Original Mix)

2017 was a very important year for me. It got me back on track in terms of who I want to be musically and how to make it work.

I'm back to constantly releasing music I feel confident about. I reinvented my live set and played a heartwarming little tour with Vessels. I finished an album with my jazz project Fazer (more on that soon). I co-produced Carlos Cipa's third album (watch out). With him I also scored the TV series "5vor12". I recorded mixes for Radar Radio, Netil Radio, Cashmere Radio, Public Possession and started doing a regular show on Radio 80000. I sharpened my DJ-skills and had some memorable nights here at cucurucu and Polka Bar.

All these achievements might be little steps, but they have me psyched for what's to come in 2018.

Above all, I've been able to work and be together with a few of the finest and most talented beings I know and that is a blessing. You know who you are.

And of course this would all make a lot less sense if there weren't people who buy and listen to my music.

To thank you all I'm giving away this vocal version of "Framed" featuring Tahnee Matthiesen for free.

I've always had this tune in mind as a track with vocals but never found the right singer until I met Tahnee. I think she captured the tender yet tense vibe of the instrumental perfectly and made the track complete.
