Catch the Rise – Purple (Spotify)

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

“Feels like you are sitting on the edge of a cliff enjoying the sunrise, closing your eyes. Seeing the wonderful moments of your life like a bird soaring above the clouds. Yet your own skin feels the warm wind and the caressing sun. You can be that happy with -Catch the Rise-.”

“Будто бы вы сидите на краю скалы наслаждаясь рассветом и закрываете глаза. Вы видите прекрасные моменты вашей жизни. И вы словно птица парите выше облаков. И собственной кожей ощущаете теплый ветер, и ласкающее солнце. Будьте счастливы с Catch the Rise.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words about this song with us:
“Purple is such an interesting color to me. It’s a little warm and soothing while at the same time dark and deep. Purple is the real color of love in my eyes. Not pink. Pink is too soft. Real love is hard and dark at times. And it will definitely leave you bruised. I had just left a very deep love when I was working on this song. However, I didn’t set out with the intention of making a song about love… but once I realized that the music was expressing what I was feeling, the color Purple seemed to really capture where I was emotionally at the time.”

Few words about the artist:
Catch the Rise is a music project from producer/composer Britt Barker that is aimed at capturing and reflecting the complex yet beautiful moments of life through song. In a sense, his songs are his soundtrack.

Driven by electronic-based production and live guitar instrumentation, the music of Catch the Rise creates a unique, atmospheric space for the listener to have an experience- to reflect, to be energized or to simply escape. The songs provide sonic color for each moment, whether it be for the fan listening for pure enjoyment or the visual artist looking to enrich their project with tones and texture.

Mirek Coutigny – Atlas (Electronic Rework) [feat. Elias Devoldere] (Spotify)

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

“Mirek Coutigny in collaboration with Elias Devoldere gives an electronic rework of Atlas under Icarus Records. An electronic jazztronica with beautiful atmosphere and funk guitar, ticklings drum set selection and smooth keys. Wonderful chill out!”

-Nagamag.com

In recent years, pianist and producer Mirek Coutigny has worked on his own world of sound with electronic and acoustic instruments. He improvised on sketches that he wrote over the last 10 years and reworked them for piano, strings, percussion and electronics. This culminated into the release of his first EP in 2018, 'Revisions #1'.

After the first album, a live set was created with Jonathan Bonny (percussion) and Jolien Deley (cello). In this formation they won both the audience prize and the jury prize for the Leffingeleuren 2019 festival.

His second album sounds a lot more intuitive and organic: where debut album “Revisions # 1” was a record of thoughts, “The Further We Ventured” is a record from the heart. Sometimes complex, sometimes amazingly accessible; comparisons with Jóhann Jóhannsson or Ólafur Arnalds are never far away.

pølaroit – Cala (Video)

Categories: House, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“Take it easy and everything will work fine, this kind of mood we received with the new minimal melodic downtempo track -Cala- of -pølaroit-. A carefully selection of sounds in use, matched fine within the overall mix and unfolding a beautiful story telling, which works perfect to laid back and daydream. ”

-Nagamag.com

Space and time both play a role in pølaroit’s music. A felt connection to Jonas and Marius’ hometowns in Northern Germany, their geography, as well as a sense of pertaining to a specific instant in time, a generation, are both expressed in the duo’s strain of melodic deep house, “We see our music as a snapshot of time and music,” they say. The chosen name for the duo, pølaroit, is a reference to this idea of capturing a moment and it tributes both their northern roots (Polar) as well as the birthplace of techno (Detroit).

pølaroit’s debut EP, ‘expedition into’ (out via Stil vor Talent) defined the duo’s moody sound somewhere in between melancholic downtempo and uplifting melodies, and captivated audiences around Germany. Their current EP, Pure, released via Christian Löffler’s Ki Records, continues to draw on the dichotomy of these two emotions but this time around there’s a bigger sense of presence and liveliness. Through the use of field recordings and vocals, pølaroit wants to rescue the human and organic element of creativity in their music.

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

“Minimalism may sound simple for many, its not. You need good sound design skills and story telling in layering for not be sound empty or boring, here Grandbrothers grab this minimalism from the first seconds and push it far away, to unknown limits. unfolding a dreaming story telling through lush harmonics arps and soft sound. Goosebumps guaranteed!”

-Nagamag.com

The debut single and title track out today from the album “All The Unknown” starts out with the clanging percussive piano figures that have danced across Grandbrothers’ previous terrain, but grows with the intensity of high-octane electronica to cast out allusions of classical romance, guided by emotive, cascading keys that collide with stuttering digital percussion.

The upcoming album maps out a wide-open sound-world of compositional possibilities for pianist Erol Sarp and producer / electronic engineer Lukas Vogel, who have been putting their modern and unique electronic spin on prepared piano since first forming in 2012. Forgoing the need to play every single note live, this new album sees the pair juxtapose the old and new once again, venturing further into the electronic cosmos armed with a grand piano, self-built computer-controlled mechanics, and a new sense of latitude.

The album All The Unknown is set for release January 15th 2021 via City Slang.
