Dream of Popular  Music

Where does a person actually start to be themselves? For her third album, The Essence Of, Belia Winnewisser crawled into the rabbit hole in search of the origin of herself or of a certain kind of music. She found the origin of this, that, and then the origin of the origin, and then... No musical genre comes from nothing, no human being exists in isolation – these are the essences that the Zurich musician, after crawling out again into the clear light of day, was able to capture for herself. The Essence Of is a selfportrait that looks even further back into her own history than the previous releases. Memories of playful childhood days live on in moods and melodies drawn from the game Zelda. Impressions from movies and appreciations from life underpin the emotional layers of the seven (+1) tracks. Listening experiences across musical styles transport you to the UK of the early 90s or to quirky minimal floors 15 years later. And her most original musical experience is absolutely essential. Her voice breathes, floats, dabs and sings its way through the album and points deep inside. The Essence Of makes it clear: origins are not fixed places or points in time, but dynamic. The point at which something or someone begins shifts a little with every interpersonal encounter and every listen. The Essence Of is Belia Winnewisser's first album for the Cologne-based label SPA, on which she has already released the EP A Comet Blazing In the Empyrean (2020) and the track I Like Ferrofluid (2019 part of the compilation Safe Needing Attention).

KABLAM (@ka-blam) is back and sounding better than ever on her new 13-track digital album ‘Confusía’.

The latest from the Swedish producer and DJ follows up her critically acclaimed 2016 EP ‘Furiosa’, which landed via esteemed Berlin-based collective and label Janus. In its entirety, ‘Confusía’ is a sonic continuation of the themes, motifs and production methods explored by KABLAM through previous solo outings as well as through her raucous remix offerings. 

It’s hard, fast, and deliciously nihilistic, fusing organic sounds with inhuman chaos. However, don’t get it twisted. This is an album that draws on her club credentials while bringing something fresh, albeit dark and dramatic, to the table.

”Confusía embodies the endless spiral of inner, outer and utter chaos,” says KABLAM. “She is my channel but also my redeemer.”

‘Confusía’ lands later this month via KABLAM’s very own label. Pre-order below and tune into album cut ‘Innominata’ now.
