Novu muziku koju smo slušali i predstavili posljednjih dana potpisuju i izvode Aleksander Kostopoulos, BRÄLLE, Marc Ayats, Jørgen Thorvald i Brigade Apache.

Marc Ayats & Jørgen Thorvald – Disco Sadness feat. Brigade Apache

A-TRACTION Records slavi 25 godina postojanja uz godinu bogatu izdanjima! Za drugo izdanje ove godine, osnivač etikete Marc Ayats udružuje snage s Jørgenom Thorvaldom, uz gostovanje francuske rock, indie dance i trip hop grupe Brigade Apache.

Inspirirani EBM-om, synthwaveom i technom, Marc Ayats & Jørgen Thorvald istaknuli su se svojim debitantskim EP-jem “Lune Atroce” za nizozemsku etiketu Electronic Emergencies, koji je oduševio i kritiku i DJ-eve, a nastavili su s EP-jem “Saisons qui tuent”.

S novim izdanjem “Nuit Italienne” nastavljaju nas tjerati na ples uz dvije izrazito nadahnute trake. “Disco Sadness”, u suradnji s Brigade Apache, podsjeća na legendarni duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker, dok je “Discoteca Infernal” eksplozivna kombinacija EBM-a i talijanske disko estetike, stvorena za plesni podij uz zarazan vokal.

Klubikon je premijerno predstavio traku “Disco Sadness”, koju možete poslušati u nastavku, dok je cijeli EP dostupan OVDJE.

BRÄLLE – How Small Worlds Become

Talentirani njujorški producent BRÄLLE objavio je EP “How Small Worlds Become” za avangardnu underground techno etiketu koju vodi Max Gardner iz San Francisca.

EP donosi dvije originalne trake, “How Small Worlds Become” i “Overthrow”, uz remikseve koje potpisuju Decoder i Declan James. Očekujte sirove, hipnotičke trake obavijene dubokom, analognom atmosferom i prožete distopijskom estetikom.

Aleksander Kostopoulos – obrAng

Aleksander Kostopoulos spaja klasičnu glazbu i uživo odsvirane bubnjeve na svom četvrtom albumu “Klangre”, koji donosi filmski i emotivan zvučni pejzaž, a objavljen je pod okriljem etikete Beatservice Records.

Norveški glazbenik iz Bodøa poznat je kao bubnjar, skladatelj i producent te član Sami pop trija ISÁK. Uz brojne suradnje s uglednim norveškim glazbenicima, skladao je i za suvremeni ples i kazališne predstave, često u suradnji s dizajnerima rasvjete. Njegov prepoznatljiv falsetto vokal provlači se kroz vlastite radove, a novi album “Klangre” još je jedno jedinstveno i inovativno glazbeno djelo. Inspiriran skandinavskim zimskim krajolikom, album istražuje širok raspon emocija – od samoće i introspekcije do nade i slavlja.

“Zima ima vlastiti ritam i jezik. U Klangreu se hladnoća i toplina stapaju u posvetu njezinoj ljepoti,” kaže Kostopoulos.

Klubikon je premijerno predstavio posljednju osmu traku “obrAng”, koju možete poslušati u nastavku, dok je cijeli EP dostupan OVDJE.

Ako ste propustili, prošlom prilikom smo slušali i predstavili muziku koju potpisuju i izvode Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Milo (CH) i Andrew Meller.

Aleksander Kostopoulos hails from Bodø and is an audiovisual artist, drummer, composer, and producer known for his work with the Sami pop trio ISÁK. He has collaborated with several other prominent Norwegian artists and has released three albums before now, as well as composing works for contemporary dance and theatre, often in tandem with lighting designers. His own falsetto vocals are featured in his work, and ‘Klangre’ is another unique and innovative full-length work by the Scandinavian artist. It explores everything from solitude and introspection to hope and celebration, taking influence from the wintery Scandinavian landscape on an awe-inspiring scale. Says the artist, “Winter holds its own music, a language of its own. In ‘Klangre’, cold and warmth meet in a tribute to the season’s beauty.”

Those gorgeously treated vocals set the scene on opener ‘minGaSi’ as they are smudged and smeared into a heavenly soundscape accompanied only by their own immersive reverb. ‘Akiro’ marks the arrival of Kostopoulos’s live drumming, which brings broken beat movement to a string symphony and lush chords. ‘Hbrae’ is a sensual world lit up with different string sounds, organic beats and celestial pads, then ‘Mendokaa’ keeps things light, airy and emotive with more life-affirming melodies soaring skyward over airy drums.

This lush world of sound and delicate melody continues with the more sombre strings of ‘Schkla’ and the edgier atmosphere of ‘BaraGa’, where crashing hits and thudding kicks underpin more widescreen melodic explorations. ‘Mikre’ fuses orchestral manoeuvres and classical structures with subtle electronic production, and ‘obrAng’ brings this most emotionally stirring album to a close with more angelic vocal sounds and vulnerable chords.

We are presenting the closing track ‘obrAng’.

‘Klangre’ album will be available after the 14th of February HERE.
