Video: Halls – Face to Face
Halls’ second album, ‘Love to Give’, was released at the beginning of 2014. The day after the release show Howard heard that his father had cancer – and six months later he was dead. Howard stepped back from Halls, declining interviews and deleting social media accounts. During the following years Howard worked on various projects, leaning towards a slicker, more pop-oriented sound, and avoiding writing music that would directly deal with his loss and grief. However during this time Howard’s depression worsened, and he eventually cut himself off from these projects.
After a break, Howard began to write music again, this time facing up to his grief and depression. These songs became ‘Infinite Loss’, an album that combines musical elements used in Halls’ previous albums and a clearer, more direct writing style. After battling depression and working through issues, the album shows the polarity between a new-found positive perspective on life and struggles with lingering depression. The album is about coming out of a trauma and rediscovering life.

Mikael Delta – Elation LP
Mikael Delta returns with his new album entitled “Elation”. Having devoted the last two years to the creation of this album, he shares a fine piece of contemporary electronic music, with new collaborations that bring together Greece, Germany and Poland.
Michalis Paritsis is a young musician, making his debut collaboration in this album, adding strong analogue timbres and rhythmic patterns. Thessaloniki based Autow Nite Superstore (Thomas Ba) shares bottomless emotions with his vocals in the homonymous arpeggiated track “Elation”, while Katarzyna Kafel, from Berlin, prays in Polish in a special ambient-jazz track entitled “Art in the Sky”.
Through the sonic images of “Elation” the urban landscape converses with nature and the human existence encounters spirituality. Electronica, ambient and techno music canvases together with distorted sounds of classic piano, cello tenutes and heavenly vocals make up the fresh, powerful but also sensitive electronica sound of Mikael Delta.
Out on LP, CD and Digital album via Inner Ear.

Video: Hior Chronik – Words Are Gone feat. Hania Rani
Seductive drone and post cinematic soundscapes between ambient, indie-neoclassical music. These are the best words to describe the vibes of the new album by the Greek/Berliner composer Hior Chronik, entitled “Blind Heaven” out on November 8th via 7K!.
There is a dark and cinematic atmosphere that chases throughout the new album by the Greek composer and producer Hior Chronik, a natural sequel to “Out Of The Dust”, released on 7K! in 2017. While retaining an ambient and modern-classic dimension, “Blind Heaven” goes in search of new territories to observe and interpret. Sound landscapes made of synthesizers, electronics, strings, woodwinds and above all magical touches of the piano, so minimal as they are brilliant in their being perfectly integrated into the sonic trajectories traced by the Athens-born artist who has lived in Berlin for several years.
Track after track “Blind Heaven” reveals itself by involving the listener in a particularly evocative and immersive multi-stage sound journey: Nocturne, crepuscular, foggy, the record moves in neighboring territories without delineating a precise and static form: the sound moves magmatic, it is discovered, it hides, it explodes, it shrinks and once again it frees itself to cross extremely natural and peaceful landscapes, as well as darker, industrial, apocalyptic… more

Billa Qause – Somehow Someway LP
Somehow Someway is the sixth solo album release of the Greek Beatmaker Billa Qause.
The album is inspired by the 90s Hip-Hop culture. A time when the Hip-Hop genre was established in the music scene and many groups are still known and dear to the younger generations. The LP is distinguished by rhythmical samples, rap punchlines from the Golden Era, spiced up with some old school scratching.
For the creation of this album, Billa Qause experimented with samples from Soul and Jazz vinyl records. This time, he combined his characteristic old school – MPC made – heavy drums with more electronic and ambient sounds. He managed to make this album to sound somehow as a classic album from 90s and in someway as an album that is continuously developing day after day without changing its character and vibe.
The “Somehow Someway” is an instrumental Hip-Hop / Downtempo album and features the Greek Beatmakers Kill Emil and Krus who contributed in “Beats And Pieces”, “All About Practice” and “Light My World”.

Το Somehow Someway είναι ο έκτος σόλο δίσκος του Έλληνα Beatmaker Billa Qause.
Ο δίσκος είναι εμπνευσμένος από την Hip-Hop κουλτούρα της δεκατίας του 90. Της εποχής που το είδος καθιερώθηκε στο μουσικό προσκήνιο, τότε που πολλά groups ακόμα και σήμερα είναι γνωστά και αγαπητά και στις νεότερες γενιές.
Οι παραγωγές του άλμπουμ διακρίνονται από τα ρυθμικά samples και τα ραπ punchlines από την Χρυσή Εποχή του Hip-Hop, συνοδευμένα με old school scratches από τον ίδιο τον Billa.
Για τη δημιουργία του άλμπουμ, ο Billa Qause πειραματίστηκε με δείγματα από Soul και Jazz δίσκους βινυλίου. Αυτή τη φορά συνδίασε τα χαρακτηριστικά του βαριά και old school beat από το MPC με πιο ηλεκτρονικούς και ατμοσφαιρικούς ήχους. Κατάφερε να κάνει το δίσκο να ακούγεται σαν ένας κλασσικός δίσκος από τα 90s αλλά παράλληλα και σαν ένας δίσκος που συνεχίζει να εξελίσεται μέρα με τη μέρα χωρίς να μεταβάλει το χαρακτήρα και την ενέργεια του.
To κομμάτι True Thoughts είναι διαθέσιμο και σε video clip στο κανάλι του Billa Qause στο YouTube.
Το “Somehow Someway” είναι ένα ορχηστρικό Hip-Hop / Downtempo άλμπουμ με τις συμμετοχές επίσης του Kill Emil και του Krus που συνέβαλαν στα “Beats And Pieces”, “All About Practice” και “Light My World”.
Το Somehow Someway κυκλοφορεί σε βινύλιο από την Mind The Wax και περιέχει 12 κομμάτια.
Ο Billa Qause είναι ενεργός στην underground Hip-Hop / Trip-Hop σκηνή από το 1997. Επηρεασμένος από Hip-Hop, Soul, Jazz και Funk και τις δυναμικές αστικές γειτονιές της Αθήνας, ο Billa χρησιμοποιεί αυτά τα στοιχεία για να δημιουργήσει τη δική του μουσική. Ορχηστρικοί Hip-Hop και Trip-Hop ήχοι αναμειγνύονται με μυστικιστικές μελωδίες, αιθέρια φωνητικά και soulful συγχορδίες, συνοδευμένες πάνω σε smooth μπασογραμμές και ρυθμικά θέματα.
Είτε ως μέλος του γνωστού beatmaking γκρουπ είτε σόλο, ο Billa Qause εχει εμφανιστεί σε Ελλάδα και Ευρώπη, μοιράζοντας τη σκηνή με καλλιτέχνες όπως ο Gramatik, o Wax Tailor, o DJ Krush, oι Herbaliser, oι Chinese Man, o Panda Dub και ο Shawn Lee.
