“With dominating hihats, background keypads and a fat bassline, the German producer Tim follows a mysterious and slightly melancholic path. Minimal production influenced from Techno and House ideas which you don't want to miss.”

Tim Engelhardt returns to Poker Flat Recordings for the first time since his First Contact release in 2020.
In the meantime the German producer and DJ has been gracing other fine labels such as Stil Vor Talent and Watergate Records, but Poker Flat is delighted to welcome back his distinctive deep and effecting approach to tech house with his new EP Follow.
Follow is a highly musical track - the live-sounding drums give it a motorik feel, while the bubbling synths and melancholic, jazzy keys bring an element of depth and sophistication.
Burning is a techier cut, with a thick, rounded bass and some of Tim’s trademark tension building synth lines. It’s the perfect soundtrack for the upcoming festival season.

“Finding the depths of his subconscious in search of an answer, whether we are alone in the universe, we must not forget that a person, first of all, needs music. After all, it is she who will accompany him on the way to knowing herself. Nu Jazz in the framing of the warm vocals of the duet -krispy & the pooch - exactly what should be near you on an ongoing basis. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Покоряя глубины своего подсознания в поисках ответа, одиноки ли мы во вселенной, нужно не забывать, что человеку, прежде всего — нужна музыка. Ведь именно она будет сопровождать его на пути к познанию себя. Nu Jazz в обрамление тёплого вокала дуэта -Krispy & The Pooch- именно то, что должно быть рядом с вами на постоянной основе.”

Auckland duo Krispy & The Pooch are thrilled to share their silky-smooth, RnB-infused single ‘Don’t Play Yourself’ ahead of the release of their upcoming new EP THE RECKLESS ECLECTIC: PART ONE out Friday 10 June.
Having spent the last few years crafting music that is uniquely their own, Krispy & The Pooch can boast a distinctly modern sound built around lyricist Krispy’s soulful vocals, and The Pooch’s uncanny ear for sweet electro-synth beats.
A smooth, soothing track with an upbeat neo-soul groove, ‘Don’t Play Yourself’ is an irresistible blend that dishes up a flavoursome, infectiously dreamy jam, invoking a breezy summer day vibe.
The eclectic duo describe it as “a song about giving yourself (and others) permission to do what you love and chase your dreams, in whatever form they come.” The message is clear in the uplifting and optimistic ode, as Krispy’s suave vocals croon ‘You know it’s all I ever wanted, To live a life I’d love to lead, Chasing stars amongst the comets, Moulding my destiny.”
The Waiheke Island based duo of Kriston Batistic (aka Krispy) and Simon Townsend (aka The Pooch), originally conceived ‘Don’t Play Yourself’ when they were living and making music in Berlin at the end of 2019.
In the 3 years since, the tune has gone through many different iterations before finally settling as a mellow, RnB-infused song which takes the best of live instrumentation, and mixes in a sprinkle of electronic flavour in classic Krispy & The Pooch style.
Featuring Berlin musicians Nir Sabag (percussion) and Matt Paul (Synths/keys) and a horn section made up of Waiheke Natives - Julion Wright (Saxophone) and Jono Benzur (Trumpet), ‘Don’t Play Yourself’ is truly a team effort made up of passionate musicians from both sides of the world.
“This track is able to captivate your heart with vocals -erika wester- and the Dream Pop melody, in which the author’s state of mind is so beautifully conveyed. Peering into the blue of the sky, hoping to find the very star of your happiness and make a desire, turn on this track. It will definitely help you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Этот трек способен пленить ваше сердце вокалом -Erika Wester- и мелодией Dream Pop, в которой так красиво передано состояние души автора. Вглядываясь в синеву небосвода, в надежде найти ту самую звезду своего счастья и загадать желание, включите этот трек. Он обязательно вам поможет.”

Artist said about this song:
"I wanted this song to feel breezy and easy to listen to. It's a bit brighter sounding than the rest of my songs. The lyrics are sort of haunting, and I love putting together the juxtaposition of easy listening mixed with dark lyrics. The song is about putting someone you love on a pedestal, only to realize over time that they are not who they seem."

“IDM удивительный жанр. Это бескомпромиссное путешествие в иные миры, с его собственными законами синтеза звука. Всё, что необходимо сделать перед прослушиванием, это выкинуть из головы все существующие мысли и полностью погрузиться в безграничные недры этого трека.”

Employ AI technology to create otherworldly visuals for 'Coherence'
Enigmatic multi disciplinary creative collective known as Sagans, have employed the use of artificial intelligence technology, to create a stunning, otherworldly Blade Runner-esque music video metaverse for their latest single 'Coherence' due this June.
They say: "The first video is called 'Coherence' and it is about a city that is constantly changing and evolving. The video shows how the city changes over time, and how the character gets lost and adapts to the changes. The video is a mix of different styles using the latest AI algorithms, some latent diffusions but also using a neural-style transfer algorithm, similar to the algorithm used to create the 'DeepDream' images. It's really interesting to see how the AI collective was able to create something so unique, definitely an interesting take on the cyberpunk genre."
About Sagans:
The group known as Sagans is made up of music artists, graphic designers and AI researchers who create music and visuals with the help of artificial intelligence. The group was formed in 2022 and consists of members from all over the world. The AI Collective is dedicated to creating new and innovative ways to create music and visuals, and they believe that artificial intelligence is the key to unlocking new creative possibilities, something that is truly unique and expressive.

“The melody of the piano and the synthetic violin practically pull out your soul out. When you are lonely, this Cloud Hop seems to wrap you in a warm blanket and in this good atmosphere you will forget about everything. You have it possible to drown in this song, as if in a bottomless lake. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Мелодия пиано и синтетическая скрипка практически вытаскивают вашу душу наружу. Когда вам одиноко, этот Cloud Hop словно завернёт вас в тёплый плед и в этой доброй атмосфере вы забудете обо всём. У вас есть возможно утонуть в этой песне, словно в бездонном озере.”
