Musician and visual artist Andy Ash has been around for quite some time and may be considered as a „hidden gem“. With his forthcoming album „All The Colours“, this will change! Andy fuses differnet styles from past to present easily and this teaser 12“ is just an small bit of what will blossom on the album. Andy has worked with vocalists, bringing a new dimension to his music. Whether it is the old school inspired „The sound“ which features vocalist Erik Rico, or the deep and moody „I’m Here“ featuring Liverpool vocalist Amber Kuti, these tracks are designed to be played on the dancefloor and bring people together – this is what House Music has always been about!

Release Info:
We are super pleased to welcome back our Los Angeles friend Idan Hana! After his successful last release on our label featuring that great Ron Trent remix he presents an all new set of deep and eclectic tracks to us.

The opener “Mountain Peaks” is inspired by the vibrant energy of Italo disco. Capturing a joyful and uplifting mood with unique and unconventional micro synth sounds and class percussion Idan builds towards an infectious chord break down.
“Hidden Forest” is built around a drum sample and goes way deeper, shaped by the filtered drums and the Arpeggios it’s evoking the sensation of walking through a jungle and observing children playing joyfully. The goal was to create an immersive experience, capturing the essence of being in a forest.

“Rolling Hills” is best described in his own words: “When composing this track, I envisioned a spaceship visiting Earth. It all began with a catchy pattern I created on the OB-6 synthesizer. From there, I layered additional synth sounds and bass to give a full presence to my beloved OB-6. The result is a captivating blend of futuristic elements, combining intricate melodies with an otherworldly atmosphere.” You truly capture this feeling in the sound! Additional editing and mixing was done by Break 3000.

Now we get to “Panorama” that is Idan’s fave track of this EP. It combines elements of electro, soulful chords, and an overall sense of fun. The track maintains an ever-changing nature, keeping the listener engaged and curious throughout. For this composition, he predominantly used the MC-202, along with a few Korg plugins and his secret drum kit. A lovely electronic journey we think! And it is not only his favorite!

The cinematic “Ma Kore” is closing out this wonderful musical offering by Idan. It encapsulates a unique and mesmerizing melody, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in a world of pure musical expression.

Enjoy this new piece of music by Idan Hana! A lot of work and love went into it. We think it’s very special!

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne. Music Written & Produced by Idan Hana. “Mountain Peaks” and “Rolling Hills” Mixed by Break 3000. Photography & Art by Break 3000.

Can't get enough

A track that evolved from building up layers of synth sequences. Wanted to create something floaty and meditative, but then I twisted it with an electro style beat. Has a vibe that recalls some of my tracks from around ten years ago, as well as the obvious nods to Tangerine Dream :) Though the beat is a bit more Kraftwerk.

Some Synth info:
Moog Mini V (2 instances)  - Doing lower end bass work
ARP2600V - 1 note sequence modulated
Korg Poly 6 - High end plinky sequence
Korg MS20 - Square modulated 1 note sequence
Oberheim Matrix 12 - Pads
Virtual String Synth - Phillacordia pads
Tal Bassline 101 - Lead's/ Synth perc
Virtual CZ - Lead compliment
Spark Vintage Drum Machine's - 606 Drums (edited)
