With this captivating first track, KOWARI gives us a glimpse of what they are all about: an instrumental band with a cinematic universe and electronic influences.

The duo asked the graphic artist Zorg Aourir to put the track in pictures. With this production, he signs a first masterful music video as a director, designed with original retro-futuristic scenes.

Their debut album, "Trail", was recorded in a chalet in the middle of the Belgian Ardennes.

It was mixed and produced by the talented Jean Vanesse at GreenHouse Studio (Le Motel, DC Salas, Haring,...), before being mastered in Berlin at Calyx Studio by Norman Nietsche (Nils Frahm, Gogo Penguin,...).

ALBUM Scheduled for release on 6 May 2022.

Marion Doncoeur – Violence

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Such music is forever remain in memory. The originality of the approach to the construction of the arrangement structure, blurred, as if from another universe vocals -marion doncoeur-, experimental, some bold trip-hop rhythms and the overall depressing atmosphere of melancholy. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Подобная музыка навсегда остаётся в памяти. Неординарность подхода к построению структуры аранжировки, размытый, словно из другой вселенной вокал -Marion Doncoeur-, экспериментальные, немного дерзкие ритмы Trip-Hop и общая угнетающая атмосфера меланхолии.”

Artist said about this song:

"I wrote this song in Bretagne (France), in a house in front of the Ocean.

It was very cold, and the words came to me. I discovered them one by one and I understood that I needed to express it like that, in a very raw and energetic way.

This song is a cry from the heart of a woman who has been told too many lies, who has been told to shut up. It uproots the illusion that not saying things as they are is being at peace. She takes the power of the words and dares to speak, to express. She uproots violence with her honesty. She is powerful and she is not afraid of it anymore. It’s a vibration that runs through me and in this specific song, and that I’m happy to share with you."

il:lo – Soldiner

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-

“Красивая, расслабляющая мелодия Chillwave на спокойных волнах гипнотического Downtempo. Просто нажмите на кнопку воспроизведения и почувствуйте, как ваше тело отрывается от этого мира и парит в поднебесье. Практически 6 минут блаженства в вашем личном распоряжении!”

https://il-lo.ffm.to/soldiner

French electronic duo il:lo announces that they have signed to Nettwerk (Ark Patrol, Dreamers Delight, Hermitude) and make their label debut with the new single “Soldiner.” Comprised of producers Dejan Dejado and Andreas Schültz, il:lo creates an angular, yet airy deep house blend with expansive builds and mesmerising textures.

“Our new single Soldiner stands out from previous releases and marks the beginning of a new era, a musical production resolutely turned towards deep house which is more on electronic elements,” the duo remarks. “We wanted to grab the listener with powerful leads and soulful arpeggiators. This track is an emotional journey with a joyful start, intense body and final resolution.”

Producers Dejan Dejado and Andreas Schültz prove that two heads are better than one. After meeting in Prague in 2010, the duo formed a fast musical connection that spawned their dynamic and sprawling electronic act il:lo. With Dejado digging into unique samples and Andreas the editing and arranging mastermind, il:lo embody a yin and yang style of complimentary forces.

They describe il:lo as “difficult to capture or hold permanently, having wings.” This meaning can be derived from the definition of the world volatile and highlights their proclivity for shape-shifting moods and the uncanny ability to mutate between downtempo, trip hop, and deep house. Their influences are as far ranging as their music, citing 90s IDM, liquid drum & bass, and even hip-hop, jazz, and world music as playing a role in their compositions.

Throughout their career, il:lo have toured much of Europe taking cues from the exotic architecture around them. The angular aesthetic serves as a driving force in their bold minimalism. From 2015 EP Places to 2019’s Sloh, the duo’s creative vision is apparent in both their musical evolution and their visual identity.

Following the release of Sloh, il:lo took to the road once more touring with renowned beatmaker Blockhead as well as collaborating with electronic mainstay Emancipator, and the otherworldly CloZee on official remixes. They continued to broaden their horizons with remixes for Mt. Wolf, Panama and Jerro. At the top of 2022, il:lo unveiled their first live record with Anjunadeep Live Sessions, a culmination of their work with the progressive London-based dance label Anjunadeep.

Now, joining forces with Nettwerk, il:lo’s composition methods remain unchanged. Through their endless musical journey, the dualistic mindset continues to evolve and encourage listeners to let go and take flight.

Stay tuned for more from il:lo.

NIN3S – Khokhoba Feat. Toshi

Categories: Electronica, Electronica Features, Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

“”NIN3S” calls us on an intense journey through time via his new Trip-Hop single. Unique and affectionate vocals in the Xhosa language, balanced mix of smooth sounds and semantic clip. All proving the authenticity and talent of the artists.”

-Nagamag.com

https://lnk.to/khokhoba

‘Khokhoba’ is the third single taken from Hopeyard, the debut album from classically trained studio wizard, composer and pianist NIN3S released now on Dorado Records.

Undoubtedly one of the album’s most affecting tracks, it features the powerful, compelling vocals of South African songstress, writer, poet and musician, Toshi Tikolo. Toshi co-wrote the track with NIN3S and sings in her native South African tongue; Xhosa.

Hailing her as “one of the most sonorous voices of Africa’s electronic music scene,” Mixmag last year listed her among their ‘Top African Women Shaping Dance Music.’ She has worked with a who’s who list in the genre including Black Coffee and David Morales. Here though, Toshi’s rich vocals ring out, quivering with raw emotion adding heart and depth to an epic, uplifting track that combines a mesmerising melody and NIN3S deceptively simple piano motifs.

Meaning ‘getting old’, ’Khokhoba’ is dedicated to Toshi’s grandmother who raised her and persuaded her to sing in church at the age of 6. It speaks of a yearning and love for her role model and inspiration who is growing old and frail. Toshi has been writing songs since a young child, and through her storytelling captures her life’s stories in her powerful lyrics. Like NIN3S, she was classically trained, turned to jazz, yet found her voice through poetry and folk music.

Toshi said “The song is dedicated to my grandmother, how gracefully she’s aging, the suffering she went through in all her living years, raising her kids as a single parent.”

Accompanying the track is an astonishing video that is an emotive masterpiece. The sands of time are a theme running throughout – we see grains of sand dancing in the atmospheric, golden light around a graceful young face. The sands shift in rhythm and tempo as the song reaches its crescendo with soaring vocals, yet as the sands starts to fade, so the face ages in a dimming light, but her inner glow remains undimmed.
