A few months ago @breakaleg-ec and I experimented with ambient sessions during our residency at Havre de Perche. What started as cute activity for the cold autumn evenings ended in a prime slot on the chillout stage curated by @clara-la-fievre at Château Perché Festival.
Here is the recording for you to reexplore some hygge feeling with some solar ambient, delicious trip hop and psychedelic rock.

Anatolian Weapons, the alias of Aggelos Baltas, stands at the forefront of Greek electronic music. The release 'Beyond' is intentionally crafted for the dancefloor, featuring a collection of obscure techno tracks with a few unexpected twists.

Following the release of Aggelos Baltas’ long-awaited second album under the alias Anatolian Weapons last autumn, he is now back with a collection of obscure dancefloor cuts. In his characteristic manner, Baltas weaves hypnotic melodies with driving beats, transporting dancers beyond thought and rationality into a liminal space outside themselves.

Hello Everybody,

In recent years, the introductory texts for the Pop Ambient compilation series, which is released every year on Kompakt as the last release before the Christmas break, often began with the sentence "Every year again...".

“Every year again”, a quiet, almost unnoticed maxim of self-evidentness. Because this is already the 25th issue to be published this year.

25 years in increasingly fast-moving times in the even faster-moving music business is an eternity that doesn't just feel like it. It is all the more remarkable how I, as someone who is always restless and often driven by this fast pace himself, pleasantly almost haven’t realised how - in pop-ambient contexts - time does not pass (or passes differently) in the best sense.

When compiling the 25th edition I was asked, among other things, what it was like that I was still doing this and whether I had a favorite track. In the spirit of bringing all the tracks together I don't have a favorite track, or all of them. But I have a favorite part (moment) that I played. In this case it was a broad chord in a change of key at minute 2:55 in the piece Circles by Max Würden. A moment of majesty and familiarity that, at that moment, contains the entire Pop Ambient cosmos, that just works and doesn't explain anything - and I said: “...that's the reason why I'm still doing this.. .”

Pop Ambient is a statement without demands. Is promise without expectation. Is a path without a destination.         Every year again.

Wolfgang Voigt, October 2024

As always, the indispensable final mastering by Jörg Burger ensures that everything is brought together and the sound is fine-tuned.

And like every year, the 25th edition is of course wrapped in an abstract, floral magic creation by Veronika Unland. Over the years, the grace of her imagery has increasingly merged with the musical aura to form an unmistakable magical symbiosis.  In addition to the official vinyl and CD edition, there will be a limited edition of 100 pieces in transparent vinyl - including a hand-signed fine art print by Veronika Unland, available exclusively at Kompakt Mailorder.

Tic... Tic.

Dark Heart - Albus Inspiration

A journey to Berlin in 1985, when the city was still surrounded by the GDR, was an unforgettable experience. In the track you can hear the moment we reached Berlin, driving along the AVUS, where suddenly the colors of life seemed to return after the grayness before. It feels good to know that this chapter of history came to an end in 1989 – and that today we are united again.

in a broader social context, labels can lead to marginalization, exclusion, and black-and-white thinking about individuals and groups. They may contribute to fixed or limited definitions that do not fully capture the complexity of human identity. Labels can also lead to assumptions and stereotypes that limit individual expression and interaction. Just Saying x
