Music Genre
James Vember – New Morning (Spotify)
Mellow instrumental track that progresses into something more - with a mix of vintage synths, electronics and live instrumentation. Enjoy and thank you for your time!
Elle Noir – Blue Shadow (Spotify)
Blue shadow is a song about how often it's hard to love every side of ourself. Our "Blue Shadow" represents everything that is in us and that we often deny. Emotions and feelings often considered negative and that we must learn to accept and love. Sadness, anger, depression, discouragement. There is nothing wrong with embracing this part of us.
AFAR – Lulled and Fake (Spotify)
After hitting the stages of numerous clubs and festivals with their impressive live act, electronica duo AFAR deliver the 12th EP of Vienna’s Heimlich Musik – with Oberst & Buchner and Geju on remix duty. "Lulled and Fake" is a freshly unique piece of music consisting of dark analog synth lines and accentuated guitar notes that create a rich and powerful surface for vocals using a broad spectrum of the harmonic scale. Created in an attic in the middle of nowhere, complex rhythms are guiding the journey exploring the discrepancy between a human being’s inner soul and the constant need for self-promotion in a digital world of superficiality.
Heimlich’s own Oberst & Buchner are extending the original mix by laying down classic acid lines and arpeggiator parts while sticking to the main theme as a storyline. A stripped-down drum kit leaves just enough space for the duo's trademark hypnotic vibe to evolve through the re-imagined arrangement.
The third duo featured on the EP is Geju from Moscow, delivering the second remix for "Lulled and Fake". Their remix is based on the guitar parts while a playful rhythm is created by blending drum parts from the original mix with their own unique style. As a result, Geju transform the original mix into one of their own creations of recognizable value with the potential to create special moments on the dance floor.
XCESS – Oceanic Eyes (Spotify)
Spherical ambient with eternal voices. Are you loosing your mind? You will. "Oceanic Eyes" is in the tradition of impressionism describing a feeling with music. It has a mind loosing timbre and ambigious tonality. Claude Debussy would have his pure pleasure seeing his ideas catapulted to the modern times.
Sigesmundsen – Light Up The Darkness (Spotify)
Sigesmundsen delivers a light up in the darkness with his chill out soft trance sound design. Music to chill and focus, music to relax and bright your day.
Rone – Ginkgo Biloba (Spotify)
The Ginkgo Biloba, also known as the 'tree of a thousand coins', is a tree that can live for more than a thousand years. _„This tree has been around for over 270 million years already, even before the dinosaurs, and will probably still be here after mankind may be gone.”_, Rone told us. This sense of permanence echoes the very nature of this new single from 'Room with A View', which carries all of Rone's DNA. The piece is set in a marvellous world where the abundance of sonorities seems to weave around a melody equally familiar as irresistible, before flying away to a choir of celestial voices.
Devault – Need To Know (Spotify)
Ruby is the third instalment of Devault’s audio-visual experience. After the gritty sounds of ‘Jade’, and the nostalgia brought on by ‘Sapphire’, Ruby takes on a more futuristic approach. A clash of 80’s like vocals with a new dark sound. Featuring collaborations with The Bloody Beetroots and Power Glove, Ruby captures the true sonic nature of Devault and his world. Darkness, tension, and release. Ruby altogether is 6 songs accompanied by a 10 minute short film divided into 3 episodes. As you take in the project and it’s visual piece, Devault’s desire to create a unique footprint in the electronic scene is taking hold.
A personal quote from Devault: “Ruby to me is full plunge into the world I’ve always wanted to rest in. This dark soundscape accompanied by an over-dramatic film piece is something I’ve had in my head for a very long time, but could never find the perfect timing. The songs are mature, but hold nothing back, and I think that will be seen as you hear each record.
Fold – Concrete Things (Spotify)
Concrete Things pays tribute to a great visionary named Lorraine Hansberry; her voice & ideas are at the core of the track. Released in defiance of these dark times Concrete Things exalts the importance of using our cognitive gifts to steer ourselves towards the proverbial light. Lorraine reminds us that in order to progress (or in this case survive) we must remain adaptable in our thinking; we must drop the crutches that we've made for ourselves once we can walk.
Noams – Ice Cream Sunsets (Spotify)
The third song of the "a day for us" EP entering with a calming bell melody that crescendoes into a rhythmic sections, each instrument playing off the other leading to 1:20 for the first explosion of color and sound. In this composition Noams playing with the ideas of the calmness of the evening and the excitment of the sunset; the sky getting darker but the amazing colors that come before.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Suduaya:
The project "Suduaya" was born in 2006, after a trip in Sri Lanka, but it's not before 2010 that i decided to work on it seriously. Before that i was focused on my guitar skills, touring with a band in France from 2007 to 2010 (electro/hiphop), and during high school times i had a band and we played a fusion of Metal, Dub and psychedelic. I started to play the guitar at the age of 13, and violin at the age of 5. When i joined Altar Records in 2011, it started to become more important, and i slowly got more exposure on the scene. I quickly played in different festivals, mostly easter/central europe, and couple of years later reached other continents. Mexico, Australia, Canada, Russia, up to now there might be between 30/40 countries i'v been performing.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Suduaya:
Discovering "Dark Side of The Moon" at the age of 13 on a radio station. The radio host said "i'm gonna play this album without any commercials, sit back and relax". That changed my life! I had many other connections to music before and after that, but this is the highlight.
