Âme - Asa

Admittedly, being able to embrace someone back into your life, when they seem to have never left might be a little strange - but that’s exactly how it feels with Âme, one of clubland’s mainstays, consisting of Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann. Case in point: they’re certainly not getting tired of gracing stages big and small with their DJ sets and live performances around the globe, yet “Asa“ actually presents their first original material since three years.
Particular track sees the duo on top of their game, as it offers another example of peak time dance floor that is still so much more than just the sum of its components. “Asa“ is big, joyful, euphoric, and sonically adventurous. It relies on repetition, but no single part is allowed to stagnate before everything finally culminates in a symphony of daring synths, driving beats and dueling melodies. It’s a spectacle that might or might not be the musical notification of something way bigger heading our way.

In the ever-evolving landscape of club music, Jonathan Kaspar stands out with his sleek productions tailored for the dancefloor. His latest track, "On The Line," is a finely crafted tool, crisp and refreshing. Skatman’s "V.A.M.P" ventures into New Wave territory, channeling the spirit of icons like Anne Clark while infusing a fresh twist and an arpeggio that drives the track forward. Adding to the mix, Moritz makes his debut in our series with a track that perfectly captures the essence of those early morning hours.

With a deft touch of blending various styles and genres, each track holds up something unique that caught our attention during the previous months. As the night unfolds, Alican and Julian Koerndl are serving up some serious electronic vibes, while Emanuel Satie brings the Soul with his smooth yet fresh piano tune „Happy“. Think Maurice Fulton meets LCD Soundsystem - it's the perfect match to kick off the summer.

The saying goes that memories are mental reliving of experiences and somehow this applies to our shared past with the duo. After Acamar and Mercury, we are once again flashed by Frankey and Sandrino's new EP. Volume up - it’s showtime, and you can easily picture yourself in the middle of the dancefloor with hands high in the sky. Right, we are talking about „Memories“ featuring a powerful vocal performance by the London-based vocalist Charlotte Riby. A piece of inspiring House Music elegantly stitched together and characterised by the sound design the duo is known for. On the flip side, „Blue Flash“ is setting the course for the things to follow. 

„How does it feel when the music takes you high. How does it feel when my beat makes you fly“

Those familiar with his previous releases will notice the superb blend of influences ranging from industrial music and post-punk to more organic rhythms. Luxo represents a tasty balance between these worlds and a further development with fresh ideas from Trikk's classics such as Vilara. The track is riding the wave along a warm and touching bass line straight to the dancefloor.

As soon as you press play, you'll realise that round two of our series gets a little wilder. 
The lights are flickering and Basti Grub is around with a tune that was already played through out various nights

Artwork by The Royal Studio

The direction is clear from the start, deeply shaking the dance floor with a sound design, so vivid you can lick it. “Rigor” was a highlight of the latest B2B shows with Âme Live and I remember things going wild in the basement during ADE, then surprisingly the storm stops and cracks of smooth piano paths flood the room, just before the beast goes on. The artwork tackles the track as a visual interpretation. Self-portraits are created to evoke the mood of the tune, serving as a foundation for further flashing elements crafted in collaboration with João Castro’s - The Royal Studio. To be continued ….

Into a fresh season.
We continue to dig deep into our list of highlights and trippy dreams with our new Secret Weapons 17. This season, with a slightly different approach, we will release tracks and smaller packages during the year, as part of the series. With the aim of shining more light on each artist.

Aera - Y.e.a.h.
We have been working with Aera for some time now and this track underlines why. It's that perfect cocktail of functionality, musicality and melancholy that makes his music sooo tasty.
Y.e.a.h. is built around a steady moving beat, wrapped in a melody that turns the piece into a standout track of our sets.

Mehill - It Is What It Is
Already dropping tracks on Innervisions and Exit Strategy, Mehill is a well-known name in our musical cosmos. His music is characterized by this certain energy. With „It Is What It Is“ he manages to create a tool-like vortex that is marked by an unmistakable synth line, a game changer and fixed part of Dixon and Âme sets lately.

He incorporates elements of soul and funk, infusing warmth and emotion into an unpolished sound universe that creates a unique sonic texture based on minimalism and space. With a sense of exploration in sound design, Tal Fussman takes classic elements and transforms them into his own vision of House Music, unique to its creator.

"Tell Me" and "Around" are without doubt the lead tracks and the centerpieces of the release. Two perfect blends of what we love about house music, hunting instrumentals highlighted by standout vocal performances from Ida Corr. Both tunes take center stage in Dixon's sets in 2023.

Trikk’s striking debut album Fauna & Flora cultivates a sense of scale, character and broad- minded musicianship across ten genre-fusing tracks. Just as its namesake spans the vast spectrum of life on Earth, so this expansive document draws from a diverse sound palette that jumps from widescreen psychedelia and industrial-crusted pop to baile funk and foreboding techno. Partly descending from the club-focussed fare with which Trikk made his name, he also reaches for art- rock, punk and post-punk to expand on his electronic foundations.

Bringing a variety of instruments and more hands-on recording techniques into his toolkit, for Fauna & Flora he also worked with an array of collaborators, including Swiss DJ and musician Jimi Jules and Brazilian visual artist Gabriel Massan, stepping outside his comfort zone to forge new creative relationships.

At the core of Fauna & Flora sits the friction between harmony and destruction. Euphoric club music bleeds into driving synth-pop that often hints at a suggestion of melancholy lurking beneath. “I wanted to create that feeling where there are these rays of light and total darkness, it’s a game between these two worlds coexisting,” says Trikk.

Album opener “Mapa” embodies this duality, unfurling with a heavenly tangle of strings that give way to apocalyptic percussion and a growling industrial soundscape. First single “Don’t Forget To Breathe” also went through a transformative process. Marking Trikk’s first foray into a “true partnership,” having previously always produced alone, the track experienced “many different stages and moments - like art reflecting life,” he offers.

Trikk demonstrates the breadth of his sound design with the dreamy stargazer electro of “Ordem” while “Absolute Body Control” gleans inspiration from the new wave of punk like Amyl and the Sniffers and Viagra Boys. The track sees vocalist Jimi Jules square up to scuzzy basslines and bring the heat with his punked-up vocals.“It’s probably the first track I’ve made that I actually like to listen to myself,” he says. Elsewhere, the rhyming couplets on “Yard Judge” evoke punk’s penchant for irreverent wordplay while “Regado” feeds a wedge of minimal techno through the grinder.

Then there’s “Mata Mata,” which stands out as an urgent outlier, red hot and ready to turn it up. “It definitely cannot be played on the radio,” jokes Trikk of this baile funk trunk-rattler, which features first-time vocals from visual artist and recent Boiler Room Brazil MC Gabriel Massan whose words ricochet wildly around Trikk’s adrenalised production. “We needed someone who had the attitude and charisma to pull this off,” he adds.

After moving through gritty, lacerating club slammers “Pandemonio” and “TXKX,” Trikk throws one last curveball with the ectastic odyssey “Ouro (Love Trippin),” which sees him gesture towards psychedelic indie with technicolour vocal harmonies from Fionn. This bright- eyed collaboration brings the album to a fittingly eclectic close, showcasing the full scope of Trikk’s musical personality.

Following the pop-meets-R&B flavours of previous single “Don’t Forget to Breathe”, the next track to be taken from Trikk’s debut album Fauna & Flora is one for the techno heads. Reasserting his club credentials, the Portuguese producer returns to the dancefloor for a slimline yet uncompromising take on techno that nods to the LP’s green-fingered theme. “Regado” (which means “to water”) spreads itself out across three minutes, snowballs with intensity, and is as cool and dramatic as a winter’s night. Who’s ready for 2023?

“Don't Forget To Breathe” marks Trikk’s first foray into “a true partnership”, evolving from the spark of an idea into a dossier intertwined with the twists and turns of the past few years. For one of the more brooding, pop-minded moments on his forthcoming debut album Fauna & Flora, Trikk brought in guitar and invited US singer-songwriter Jens Kuross alongside a rising R&B star to layer soulful vocals over an energising wave of jazzy darktronica, offering a thrilling first taste of what’s to come.

On his debut album Feelin’, Ivory marries hi-tech sound design with the emotional pull of house for 10 tracks shaped by a multitude of club music and R&B. Album opener “Voices” infuses noirish melodrama with playful, pitch-shifted vocals that instantly lighten the mood. Next up, “Blank” draws from a similar blueprint, bolstered by low end pressure and ruptured rhythms. 

Ivory explains how “Do It My Way” embodies the underlying concept of Feelin’; “taking something and reworking it into a new shape that reflects your own personality as artist”. A cool electro cut warmed through with a dreamy hook, here, uplifting piano chords set the stage for what happens next. “Feelin’” is a dancefloor slammer, a healthy balance of tension and release that comes with an invite to conquer the floor. Heating up the album’s core, Tagliaferri works up an appetite for “I Need You Now”; a hulking warehouse cut built from barrelling, muscular kicks and a diced up diva house-esque vocal.

For “What I Do,” we are transported to a land of French touch with high-voltage basslines aplenty while the propulsive “Try” pulls the crowd back into room one for a huge, anthemic floor-filler underpinned by jagged synths. Ivory describes “Don’t Lose Control” as “one of the more emotional moments of the LP”; a track centered around dreamy pads, smooth house synth stabs and a disembodied post-human voice that sounds eerily poetic.

The LP’s penultimate track “Steps” leans on swirling, pearlescent keys and a sweet, balearic-tinged melody before “I Know What You Want” offers the ultimate sign-off statement, slicing through the razor-sharp mesh of synthwork with dueling vocals and sparky beats. Ivory creates his music by working with hardware, plug-ins, samples, and field recordings and he bundles all of this know-how into a distinctive album that lends itself to both reflection and liberation.

This latest album from the Milan-based producer, guitarist and DJ Daniel Tagliaferri aka Ivory follows previous releases for Innervisions, Afterlife, Atlant Recordings, Azzur, MoBlack, Kompakt, and more. He dropped the three-track Rain EP for Innervisions sub-label Exit Strategy earlier this year while 2021 saw the release of the Let the Mystery Be EP for Sum Over Histories. As a DJ, he has performed eclectic sets in clubs all over the world, noted for his residency at Milan’s Volt Club.

Ring the alarm - multi-instrumentalist Jimi Jules scheduled for the album „+“ in 2022, executive produced by Innervisions label boss Dixon. The album features the most sought after and requested tracks of the last month including „My City's On Fire“, revolutionary „Der Aufstand“, dancefloor romance „Burning“ and „Clinomania“ featuring Joy Tyson, and fabulous Lily Allen / Elton John drummer Nathan Curran. The artwork concept is developed and designed by iconic graphic artist Trevor Jackson, whose multi-disciplinary works formed the graphical identities of design, music, fashion, and art by the likes of Soulwax, HFD / Comme des Garcons or Apple Music. Jimi Jules’ second album signifies his return to future-focussed album concepts. A welcomed novelty and venture. Exploring themes such as free thoughts and togetherness after a period of interpersonal absence. Better Together Forever.

A unique character in the electronic music scene, Jimi Jules is a multi-instrumentalist and school-trained musician with much more to offer than the standard four-to-floor sound. Jimi plays nearly everything from drums to trumpet and sings almost all the vocals himself. The talent probably lies in his roots, as many of his family members are known for their playing in jazz bands and classical ensembles. Most recently awarded a silver disk marking 200,000 copies of the 2020 track “Pushin On” in the UK, Jimi Jules also commenced a new collaborative partnership with Berlin-based booking agency, Temporary Secretary, earlier this year. 

As the new era is underway for Innervisions, Jimi Jules “+” takes center stage of the label’s fundamental core - artist first, label second. For Jimi Jules especially, this new project represents the beginning of a whole new platform and innovative space for collaborations and symbiosis of mixed media.

Intensity, punk the future, fight for the fragile and riot for the righteous. Das ist der Aufstand.

With „Der Aufstand“ Jimi Jules turns the energy level to the max. Unapologetically subversive and anti, „Der Aufstand“ destroys the attempt to proclaim punk and house opposites.
Knotted together in „Der Aufstand“ these two gigantic counter cultural music styles make up for a contemporary proclamation to: fight for your right to party!

This summer, with anticipation we will present our 100th release titled “The Witness”. The four track EP by Âme will be available in three formats across digital, vinyl and for the rst time as an NFT sound and art experience. Intertwined through a series of digital and limited edition physical artworks, IV100 notably features a digital animation consisting of two objects from the collection colliding. The viewer and listener is invited to watch the light shine through until only a blinding white light remains, noticeably marking the beginning of a new era and sound for the renowned label. Looking forward to IV101 and beyond, Innervisions will embrace it’s new clean cut façade from both an artwork and business perspective - giving every release it’s own identity with an album based focus. 

8 years after the last single release “Tatische” on Innervisions, german-duo Âme remain at the forefront of electronic music and look to the future with their 100th catalogue number. For the title track ‘The Witness’, Âme teams up with Syrian-Armenian-American vocalist and composer KÁRYYN, who’s cryptic and stimulating lyricism has inspired the likes of Björk. She combines her musical production with a symbiotic spoken-word performance that marries with the hypnotic minimalism of Wiedemann and Beyer, transporting  us to another dimension entirely. 

Experimenting with vocals and personalities, Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer of Âme explore a heavier sound with the new release. Despite their prominence within house music, IV100 noticeably combines the unique sounds of Wiedemann and Beyer’s solo performances (Live sets and DJ) with characteristics of techno, commenting that “this EP could be seen as the biggest common denominator”.

Shocked by the essence of ‘macabre’, Swiss multi-instrumentalist and producer Jimi Jules refers to the first surviving animal sent into space in his latest EP “Ham The Monkey” presented by Innervisions for its 98th release. With a speed of 4,500 km/h, the four year old monkey “Ham” was the first living being fired into the atmosphere. A journey against his will. Jules reflects the feelings and sounds felt from being trapped and out of control, breaking away from the construct of control and entrapment in the label’s three track EP scheduled for release 7th of May 2021.

Combining the artists’ signature sound with the rich and authentic tones of his own original vocals and musical arrangements, #IV98 marks Innervisions continued commitment to spotlighting new ideas.

After featuring a track on Dixon's Transmoderna EP and releasing his debut EP "Virtuality", we are delighted to welcome back Echonomist with his „Night Versions EP" for our first release in 2021.

Last year wasn't very gentle with dance music and even the most striking and elaborate club tracks unfortunately had to give up some of their shine, which makes "Our Last Night” all the more impressive with its reduced atmospheric beat and catchy melancholic vocals. In collaboration with Mironas (aka. Myronas Stratis), who lends his voice to the track, they created an emotionally driven and heart-rending music production and an exclusive radio version.

"Different Versions Of Your Love” takes form with his progressive synthlines and a punchy breakbeat, the backbone of the EP, and offers a good start into a hopefully more prosperous dance season in 2021.

The world is in limbo and going through a transition. So is Innervisions, building a bridge between how we have done things in the past, and how we want to do things in the future’ - Dixon, November 2020 

‘Limbo’ is an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place and is exactly where Innervisions exist at this moment in time. As the label looks forward to its 100th release in 2021, ‘Limbo’ marks the change and movement within Innervisions, our club culture and the music industry, signifying how it will continue to evolve and adapt. It represents the opportunity to reflect and make a connection between how things have been done previously, whilst looking forward and asking the question: what will be done differently in the future?

The transitional state experienced by Innervisions has already been reflected in an artwork series throughout 2020. The evolving imagery created by digital artists Claudia Rafael and Pascal Wiemers, show ‘procedural models based on mathematical formulas’ and displays growth through the Innervisions’ prism. This is opposed to the reverse artwork where the same procedural models annihilate the Innervisions logo, implicating growth as the source of decay. Conceived solely to provoke conversations around development and change within capitalism, Innervisions begs the questions: What’s the definition of success? Is success the architect of its own expiration? Does growth in business always lead to the devaluation of music and the wider arts?

‘Limbo’ is available digitally and on all major streaming platforms in addition to an extended AR experience on Instagram. Consisting of 10 previously unreleased tracks selected by Dixon and Ame, including  "Across The Sun feat. Filippo Nardini" by Aldebaran as a standout mysterious pop contribution to Innellea’s break beat monster "The Invention Of Flying“. Innervisions presents a mix of new and familiar faces comprising of Denis Horvat, Aera, Lake People, Auggië, Shiffer, Skatman, Alican and Ditian.

Continually endeavoring to blur the worlds of sound and art, Innervisions has collaborated with the artist Cibelle Cavalli Bastos on an audio visual experience entreating listeners to create their own remix of ‘Limbo’. Available as an interactive AR on Innervisions’ Instagram, Cibelle compiled loops based on stems from the featured artists’ tracks and assembled them as one consolidated remix in AR. It allows the user to further augment the sound and generate further remixes as they play with the dynamics. In a time where interaction in its traditional club environment is limited or completely unavailable, this filter enables fans to personalise their digital sound experience, discovering new possibilities and outcomes with each listen. This development of the interplay between artist and listener will continue with Innervisions’ 100th release scheduled for 2021.

The EP’s title track revives the last days of summer with a snaky shimmer of maracas and squelchy bass line. A throughline of melody weaves its way around the simmering tempo, claps and floating percussion sounds, creating an instant earworm.

On the flip side “Distorted Ballance” emerges through layers of filters. Its bassline buzzes and flutters like static, with chopped synth chords and plinking accents, with broken parts combining for an unexpectedly solid construction of soaring house. 

In contrast “February Silver Lining” embodies a sleeker aesthetic, through its pensive mood and 
layers of glowing, shimmering synth pads that multiply into vivid hues.

In digital form the EP is completed with a pair of productions from opposing ends of the spectrum; “Daydreams” is built atop a grid of tribal percussion and broadens into sultry hybrid anthem led by the vocalist Vâlva, while “The Travelers Antidote” is a deep and subtle mid-tempo bumper that closes the story of the EP.

Fresh from the silky deepness of “Back to Mine”, his standout contribution to the compilation Dixon Presents Transmoderna, Echonomist now steps to the fore with his debut Innervisions EP, Virtuality.

Inspired by the surrealistic album art of Orbital’s iconic 1994 album Snivilisation-where a God-like figure sits on a holy throne, his face obscured by a virtual reality headset-virtuality is as relevant now as three decades ago, and is charted hire sonically with compelling soundscapes of inner and outer worlds.

From his Innervisions debut four years ago, Aera’s productions have only become more complex and melodically inspired. With a title that speaks to the life force inhabiting all beings and things, his return, Prana EP, is imbued with the instincts of a storyteller across six sonically different yet interconnected micro-worlds.

 Chiming pastoral elements combine with a delicate hop-skip of rhythm on the title track “Prana” as plaintive piano keys glance off a deep bassline. The production charms and calms as playful retro synths flits and dance for an unexpected moment of dancefloor pensiveness. “Way Out” changes gears to something sleek and modern with percussive impacts and metallic trails which hum and thrum toward a neon-hued crescendo. “Turing Machine” maintains the pressure; it vacillates boldly into view with a thumping bass drum, crashing cymbals, feverish finger clicks and a swooping, circular synths which bleed into every corner of the arrangement, creating a moody kaleidoscopic journey into bliss.

 “Little Smasher” claims the cheeky irreverence of its name, drawing together 80s synth trails and a chugging technoid rhythm for an uplifting ending that brings together darkness and light. “Brackets” rises from beneath, with bubbling glassy percussion drifting upwards with smooth aquatic ease, weaving through blooms of tropical colour. Closing out the EP, “Naked Church” is a deep and heavy stepper, weightily swung, and rooted in the lowest of frequencies, contrasted by celestial melodies that reach up to the great unknown.

The veteran of challenging, cross-genre experimentation and collaboration, Henrik Schwarz, returns to our imprint with his "Together" EP.

The lead track “Come Together” matches a timely message with an equally uplifting sound, and provides a masterclass in composition and sound design, taking few elements and transforming them into a crescendo of devotional ecstasy. 

From the off, „Omnibus“ makes its intentions known with a powerful kick drum and bass thrum, yet contrasts that with melodic sweeps and stanzas which shimmer with an recognisable retro gleam.

By using acoustic instruments as the source of his music, he creates freshly new electronic sounds through its treatment with digital interfaces. In addition to his live performances, Henrik focuses strongly on his jazz projects away from the electronic cosmos, but with his new tracks "Come Together" and "Omnibus" he proves once again that he seamlessly ties in with his never aging sound.

Five years on from the quartet of special records which marked Innervisions’ 50th release, the Berlin label is closing out the 2010s with a triptych of talent, for IV90.

The three separate EPs which make up release #IV90 feature the sonic narratives of Bruno Deodato alias Trikk, the return of “Karma Baby” hitmaker Jimi Jules, and Copenhagen’s Denis Horvat matriculating from Secret Weapons alumna to standalone debut. With both productions road-tested by Innervisions’ label heads and new material to explore, the final Innervisions release of this decade will draft the blueprint for the next.

Trikk stomps into the frame with “Facas,” a sultry and dark electro pop production offset by jangling accents. Arcs of bright melody cocoon it in a vintage aesthetic, as a cinematic songwriterly approach adds the emotional heights of an instrumental version of a beloved classic song.

“Concreto” uses the sound of syncopated drum skins to gradually evolve into the irresistible shake and groove of Italo disco, replete with shimmering pads and twangy strings, yet built with gleaming, modern machinery.

“Ardente” switches gears with a thick bass drum kick and a slinky midnight swing. While hard-edged pads strike downwards through the midsection the latter half reprises the melody along a full spectrum of sound, cementing the track’s dancefloor appeal.

With both productions road-tested by Innervisions’ label heads and new material to explore, the final Innervisions release of this decade will draft the blueprint for the next.

Opening the EP with his highly-sought secret weapon “Fool,” Jimi Jules continues to masterfully juxtapose emotional content against singularly appealing deep dancefloor material. “Just a fool, in your eyes, Just a fool, that’s me,” is crooned while trilling, whistling high-frequency tones meet vibrato bass and looped melodies.

“My Father Was A Master” is moulded from an undeniable electro influence. The lyric “My father was a prince, He was a king, He was a master ” is repeated in unemotional robotic style, befitting the sharp synth stabs and muscular structure.

“Gubrist” introduces a major-key mood, pairing a filtered riff with an upbeat house tempo, seeking accents in cowbells, uplifting synths and a deeply-swung bassline.

The third and final instalment of this trio of EPs finds Denis Horvat exploring a playful melodic narrative. “Tajna” hovers with pulsing and wavering sounds, before alarm sounds and buzzers burst through the reverie to awaken the senses. Disjointed percussive elements then fall into place to complete this undeniable signature production.

Elsewhere a spectral atmosphere is forged on “Fragmental,” from its ghostly vocals and subtle deep house tempo, while subtly tropical percussion bumps it along, adding a twist of humid shimmer.

“Pure Distance” is an opportunity to slow down and reset, with mid-tempo synths meandering around and through its sparkling electro-disco beat.

Further exploring the far reaches of dancefloor music, we are pleased to welcome Frankey & Sandrino back to our fold with their entrancing Mercury EP.

The title track „Mercury“ is a cosmic voyage through elastic bass & organic percussions. Its mid-tempo rhythm is accented by a twisted ribbon of synth melody that lift your spirits like an orbit around the sun.

“Gamma Ray” pulses into view with a steady percussive rhythm where hi-hats and liquid pulses subtly evoke both inner and outer space until a midpoint peak blasts into view. The EP's closer “Zeta” is a gorgeously moody exploration between the pensive combination of downtempo digital computer sounds and lush live piano keys.

Âme, Echonomist, Trikk, Roman Flügel and Mathew Jonson, all feature across this collection of collaborators and peers.

Dixon’s musical selection of the "Transmoderna EP“ initiates the spectrum and visions of a future generation amid shape-shifting and hybrids through sound. Elegant execution and self-assured experimentation in every moment 
of all four songs.

From their acclaimed live collaborations, Âme and Mathew Jonson embark on the title track “Transmoderna.” The sound blooms out of an electro rhythm and get touched by a rolling bassline. Voices, out of tune beyond recognition, contain a deep, disturbing feeling, whilst they transform into a repetitive hypnosis. Space is created for pulses and flashes.

Evoking the comfort of the beloved phrase, Echonomist transports the listener “Back To Mine.” At its heart a constant loop, a pulsating synth riff, worshipping journeys up and down the musical scale. A sense of continuous fluid motion; thrilling and calming coextensively.

“Marazul” by Trikk is a brooding slow-burner. The sci-fi synth workout soars upwards into cinematic string arrangements which tug at the heart, simmer and spill over at occasional moments of release. 

Frank Wiedemann & Roman Flügel close the EP by joining forces on “Tears On The Dancefloor.”. A twangy, warped guitar string takes its place in centre, accompanied by syncopated wooden rhythms which curve around the contours of dramatic synthesizer magic.

With his singular talent for constructing sound worlds with flashes of futurism, Innervisions alumnus Toto Chiavetta makes a welcome return to the label fold. Sound Between Colour EP showcases new and uncharted terrain of cinematic thriller landscapes and dramatic shifts of temperature and tone, all illustrated in technicolour.

Title track “Sounds Between Colours” begins with a mood of spectral suspense. An unresolved three-note loop evolves through building dramatic tension, while percussive accents ping and fall like natural elements. Boiling point is reached in the final quarter, with bright synth chords that add an unmistakable science fiction feel. “This Does Not Happen Where The Sun Rises” is an unsettling and darkly suggestive excerpt of sound artistry. A filtered solo beat is as muffled as a distant heart, forming the foundation for nightmarish distorted speech, warped clocks, metallic stabs and floating cymbals that all evoke a certain doom.

“Metrica” is marked by a thrumming beat and ticking timekeeping instruments that reflect the rigidity of its name. The song’s metronomic construction and hard-edged layers add a sharp clarity to each sound element. In an eerily quiet breakdown, vast waves of sweeping electronic sounds are chilling, before the deep tech soundscape roars back into full view. As a counterpoint to the precision, “Dedication To All The Mothers And Their Moons” is a perfect fusion of organic substance and rounded style. An affecting vocal sample introduces the guitar-influenced song which features plucked notes, strummed melodies, and a warm Mediterranean feel, as voice is woven deftly around the beat.

Making a hotly-anticipated return to the Innervisions fold two years on from his acclaimed EP Hall Of Violence , Keinemusik founder Rampa also reveals a stunning return to form. His impeccable programming of club-ready beats, complex melodies and both sung and spoken words are at the very core of They Will EP. 

“79249 Intro” is a moody, suspenseful appetizer, beginning with tiny elements which gradually increase in intensity. Rampa’s micro percussion, fragmented handclaps and a deeply submerged bass loop build in increments from distorted fog to clarity. Layers of tapping and clicking accents lift up a spoken refrain that is variably compressed, stretched and distorted. Animalistic sounds call out of the void to howl at the moon and add splashes of midnight birdsong. At the point of peak, the arrangement once again recedes into the pitch black from where it emerged. 

The creeping subtlety of the opening track ends once “They Will” bolts out of the gate. It’s built upon the tension of a tough oscillating bassline that flickers and shifts through rising and falling notes. The sounds of collapsing structures, bubbling molten metal and feverish high hats add edgy angles; Rampa’s competing time signatures increase the kinetic energy. Elements of shimmering ride cymbals and sci-fi synth pad strings rise and drop out at sharp junctions, like the masterful pulling and pushing of levers. 

Rampa’s collaboration with Danish maestros WhoMadeWho, “Tell Me Are We,” is a triumph of emotionally-driven music production which has already caught the ears of the world’s best selectors. WhoMadeWho’s Tomas Høffding hits high notes and high emotions, over a snaking deep-tech beat. The result is a symphony of chattering cymbals, epic soaring vocals, and electronic pop mastery. The sultry shimmy of “Lavender Boogie” closes out this quartet. Driven by tropical bongos, syncopated handclaps, and cosmic chords, its slinky midtempo feel completes the rich palette of Rampa’s newest creation.

Jimi Jules explores some existential concepts with Karma Baby, his solo debut EP for Innervisions. The affable Swiss multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ is a certified hit-maker of and a Secret Weapons alumnus. Across the six tracks of Karma Babyhe demonstrates anew his fluency and complexity across many shades of production, DJ-centric alchemy and mood-creation. As the result of a lengthy process between Jimi and Innervisions, whittling his swathe of new and musically complex demos to six specific tracks,Karma Baby chart this artist’s new narrative through peerless form, technical function and effortless flow.

Dixon debuted the EP’s opening track “End Of The World“ during an all-night set at Robert Johnson, and the rapturous crowd response cemented the track’s position as the jump-off point of this release. It’s as outsized and compelling as the name suggests with an electro break-step, jamming chords and an arresting vocal refrain: “Give me a hit / And I’ll follow you until the end of the world.” The EP’s title track “Karma Baby” is a slow-burn reveal with chiming bells and sustained cinematic synth chords that stretch languidly over couplets of bars. A weighty sub-bass meets a slinky and sophisticated 4/4 tempo, with well-timed drum cuts and snatches of dub reverb serving to methodically release the tension of the taut arrangement.

“We Out Here” is a statement of openness, reflected in its pair of chord melodies and sleek deep-tech programming. Chiming lead synths and a dancing piano melody lay at the centre, creating a core that is as dynamic as it is solid. “Future Is Now” is an instant earworm, meandering around accents of whistling winds with a looping bass run of three notes, bringing together lightness and weight to illuminate all corners of the dancefloor.

“Last Muuh Before Paradise” is the EP’s tongue-in-cheek and organic house music moment, filled with quirky sweetness and live instrumentation. Floating piano stanzas and phrases shift in and out of focus, jazz piano snare drums roll, distorted vocals and a tweaked bassline rise to a crescendo. The song’s second half introduces an vocal part, which evolves through Jimi’s layered refrain. By the EP’s end it’s abundantly clear that Jimi Jules has no cause to fear, but the closer “Scared” speaks from the depths of the psyche. With its distorted vocal persona situated both too close for comfort and deep in the shadows, the discordant, splayed chords and floating off beats finish the EP with another memorable shade and a noticeable chill.

The charmed ascent of Eagles & Butterflies, and his intertwined fate with Innervisions, reaches its most fully-realised moment. From his acclaimed Secret Weapons appearances - “The Story That Never Ends” in 2015, and 2016’s “X” - the British producer has further refined his layered, complex sound world, and set the underground ablaze with a series of masterful sketches.

In his own words, the invitation to create an Essential Mix for the 25th anniversary year of Pete Tong’s iconic BBC Radio 1 show was “something you dream of one day... when you start your path in electronic music.” To honour the significance of the request Eagles & Butterflies prepared a bespoke mix of 25 unreleased compositions in summer 2018, titled Imitations Of Life. The poised, episodic flow of the mix and the assuredness of its chilled tempos and shifting moods cemented the arrival of this rising star.

Âme’s Kristian Beyer and Dixon were two of Imitations Of Life’s loudest advocates; now three of their favourite sketches have been completed and mixed. From the light-filled cosmic interventions of “Sketch 7,” executed with precision, to flitting melodic tensions and grounded deepness in “Sketch 17”, and the epic slow tease of the introductory “Sketch 1”, the many aspects of the Eagles & Butterflies vision are finally in full view. Already feted by the press, mentored by John Digweed, and now formalising a kinship with the Innervisions flock, Eagles & Butterflies is set to soar even higher still.

Alex Smoke’s 2016 album for R&S Records, Love over Will, signalled a new phase of deep artistry for the stalwart Scottish producer. The acclaimed record plumbed the depths ofslow-burn melancholia; a subsequent R&S Records collection of reworks and dubs teased apart the album’s intricate sound design and textural word play. Now two years later, a pair of sought-after but as-yet unreleased Love over Will remixes are finally primed for their official Innervisions outing.

The skipping broken beats and distorted pads of Alex Smoke’s“Dust” were darkly romantic, with a baroque feel enhanced by the producer’s kinetic symphony of small moving parts. Mano Le Tough’s masterful remix holds on these buzzing elements of micro machinery, yet strips away the original version’s atmospherics. The Irish-born artist instead crafts a sleek cut which is propelled forward with seamless melodic phrases, cut-up vocal trickery, and the type of sure-footed sound narrative that he has become renowned for.

Love over Will’s“Dire Need” was ominous and string-laden in its original form, which was then coaxed into a throbbing, reverb-heavy offering at the hands of Tale of Us. Now, in the idiosyncratic style that carved out the niche of his peerless mixes, Dixon has applied his surgical precision and DJ’s instinct to this remix. His edit is painstakingly constructed with a tangible live feel, looping drums and a post-punk bassline into a sub-120 bpm tempo, while pushing upwards towards the the songs emotional synth-driven crescendo with the use of sparkling pads.

The long musical tradition of electro-disco, Italo style, foregrounds Innervisions’ newest release. Bringing together five producers for a celebration of their cosmic past and future-forward present, Romantico Disco EP is a resolutely Italian affair.

As a three-decade stalwart of the music scene in his native Sicily, Mauro Di Martino is best known and well-known for his highly melodic house under the moniker Musumeci. Elsewhere the elusive, anonymous newcomer Phunkadelica has offered a fresh injection of rugged dimension and intergalactic groove since their 2017 debut. Uniting on the first half of this EP, Musumeci & Phunkadelica’s talents merge in a playful, complex tug-of-war. “Babilonia” is as abundant as its mythical name suggests, with a snaky groove and retro laser trails embedded in the framework of a modern house burner. The pair’s second production, “Velluto Blu,” means ‘Blue Velvet’, and is a moody and evocative take on dark, slow disco full of cinematic suspense.

On the record’s B-side, alumni artists Stereocalypse, aka Olderic & Andrea Doria, return from the heights of “Blue Dome Escargot,” as featured in the latest instalment of acclaimed Innervisions series Secret Weapons Part 10. In similar spirit to the guitar licks that drove “Blue Dome Escargot,” the first of the duo’s Romantico Disco productions, “Lone Solo Drummer,” focuses on the rhythmic capabilities of a percussive kit, joined with bass and sparkling synth stabs for a live band sound aesthetic. To complete the EP, Stereocalypse’s second production, “The Cunning Man” gazes across the sea to the Balearic Islands, and further beyond that to the cosmos, growing in size to engage its full intergalactic powers.

Innervisions’ 2018 opened with Marcus Worgull’s prophetic  Broad Horizons EP . The lasting impact of that record’s stunning title track came from the marriage of the DJ/producer’s quality-over-quantity reputation with the instantly recognisable bluesy croon of British singer-songwriter Fink. This ongoing, organic collaboration of two acclaimed artists in their own fields has again created something beautiful and undeniably iconic.

Stemming from one of their spontaneous jam sessions, it all began when Marcus played a beloved favourite - “Love Song” from 1989, by cult band The Cure. Fink overlaid Robert Smith’s lyrics in his own unique style, and the seed for this lovingly crafted cover version was planted. The unmistakable bass riff and lead melody of the original remain intact, but under Marcus’ sure hand they glide over a sultry, dubbed out, mid-tempo beat, while Fink’s yearning tone adds an urgent sense of intimacy.

A second version, “Love Dub” dials up spacious delays and a heavyweight bass treatment, while snatches of vocals are shot through the centre with reverb. The EP’s third song, "Listen To Charanjit“ takes a different musical approach; an upfront and playful electro-disco bass line foregrounds an arrangement inspired by the late Charanjit Singh, whose pioneering early ‘80s fusion of traditional Indian Raga music and nascent synthesiser technology was far ahead of its time.

Since Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer met in Beyer’s record shop Plattentasche, in their hometown of Karlsruhe back in 2001, the music they make together as Âme has been singular expression of their shared loves. Be it Detroit techno, Chicago house, Japanese cinema or the kosmische sound of their own country, in the world of electronic dance music, Âme stand apart. Fifteen years on, there’s little that Âme hasn’t accomplished: epochal singles, iconic remixes and heart-stirring dancefloor anthems, the establishment of the Innervisions label with Dixon, their brick-and-mortar shop MTN Muting The Noise, the Temporary Secretary booking agency and their singular Lost In a Moment parties. But 2018 reveals Wiedemann and Beyer’s finest achievement yet, a full-length debut album, Dream House.

Three years in the making, Âme’s Dream House reveals their meticulous craftsmanship and unabashed love of music, the eleven tracks offering a sound that’s hypnotic and precise, immersive and inviting, expansive and catchy. It both sounds unmistakably like Âme and unlike anything you’ve ever heard from the duo, an evocative home listening journey enacted after decade spent crafting dancefloor weapons. Dream House finds the duo working with a wide array of vocalists, from Matthew Herbert and Planningtorock to newcomer Jens Kuross.

Âme b2b Dixon for BBC's Essential Mix

A collaboration with the artists Nina Kurtela and Hana Erdman 

How is movement affected by the extreme working conditions of today like constant mobility, dislocation, homelessness, exhaustion? Is there a form of communication over distance that functions without speech or signs? Can dance be an imaginary space of belonging?
In 2018 Innervisions explores these questions with its cover art through a collaboration with Nina Kurtela and Hana Erdman, two artists and long distance friends. Images taken from their project „365 routines“ depict bits from a year long choreography, their only form of contact. The choreography was developed by exchanging dance movements on a daily basis through video. Routine after routine a sense of remote togetherness unravels on screen. Dancing becomes home for the two. Since „365 routines“ is a video, Innervisions will coordinatly expand the frame of its visual communication. For that reason the label invited the graphic designer Rafaela Drazic to join the collaboration. Throughout the year Rafaela will create derivates from the videos. Derivates are extracted video stills paired with a typographic and chromatic environment suitable for the hybrid media involved in releases online and in print. In doing so Innervisions attempts to capture the atmosphere of dancing as a humane bond in the age of non-human interaction.

In 2017, Innervisions collaborated with the artist Bojan Šarčević. His practice spans a variety of media such as sculpture, installations, film and performances. Within this extensive scope, the film stills from the 16mm film series “The Breath Taker is the Breath Giver” (2009) are specifically interesting.

“The Breath Taker is the Breath Giver” is a visual study of the remnants of modernism and the desire for social utopia. Among the miniature sculptures in the films we discover what could be crumpled up Bauhaus wallpaper for social housing and spatial constructions from the legendary OBMOKhU exhibition of Russian Constructivists. The visuals are accompanied by music created by the ethnomusicologist and composer Ulaş Özdemir. His mystical dede sazi sounds crossbreed with the images in a way that debunks modernist genteelism though. Tearing apart their materiality and getting their inner sparkle on Šarčević’s miniature sculptures suddenly look like dancers embarking on a primal rave. 
Throughout the year Innervisions will feature six different stills of these actors in action as well as images from the installation and the production of “The Breath Taker is the Breath Giver” to create a unique double-faced cover art for its releases.

Âme for Boiler Room X Audi

In 2016, our cover design features the work of the artist Shannon Bool. In her conceptually oriented practice, Bool creates collages of diferent perspectives on subjective identity and objective reality. By extracting materials and motifs from their original contexts, she develops a subversive perception of culture.

The photograms Innervisions chose for its releases originated in research Bool conducted on methodological beginnings of psychoanalysis. Bool was specifcally compelled by the interiors of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung's consulting rooms. Artifacts from indigenous cultures and Oriental carpets had the function of activating the unconscious in order to reach hidden areas of the psyche.
The photograms are developed by means of an elaborate collage: transparent foils are placed directly on photo paper, on which the actual picture is exposed. Thereby Bool replaces the interior view of Siegel mannequins - modernist icons of consumption - with fragments of archaic ritual boards from Papua New Guinea. The empty vessels of the mannequins’ bodies seem to awaken by the sacred motifs, just like a person’s psyche is awakened through images, but also sounds.

In 2015, our cover design features the work of the artist Miroljub Todorović. The founder of signalism and vanguard of mail art created unique visual poems. Rather than making sense, they transform sense into signs. Letters, numbers, dots and dashes are coupled into structural spheres. Not an image, nor a text, Todorović’s visual poems are a rare example of meta-objects having more dimensions than paper can ofer. Just like music they undulate, vibrate, and feed from the surrounding space.

Not an image, nor a text, Todorović’s visual poems are a rare example of meta-objects having more dimensions than paper can offer. Just like music they undulate, vibrate, and feed from the surrounding space.

The art works we have chosen are almost entirely taken from Todorović's collection called Kyberno. The title refers to cybernetics, an experimental field of research exploring signal processes in animals and machines. We are drawn to the idea of conversion behind Kyberno especially. It is the idea that at the level of signals, poetry, music, science, even just white noise are all one.

About The Grandfather Paradox

When we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like Robert Hood, Dan Bell, Plastikman, Pansonic and Mike Ink to name a few. Whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started.

So we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. In Minimal Music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation.

The Grandfather Paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer Rene Barjavel in his book - Le Voyageur Imprudent. We took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. The fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now.

One of the most interesting pop-songs in electronic music is the new Tiga single "Plush". When Tiga asked us to remix this track we said immediately yes. The original is co-produced by Matthew Dear. We stripped it down and gave it an 80ties inspired groove - plush!!! On the flipside Dixon made a magical instrumental peak-time dub for those who don't like the vocal.

A Plush (Âme Remix)

Release Date: March 4th 2013 

This is an Innervisions Classic! Initially "House House And More Fucking House" was UK based faithfanzine magazin's maxim, now this one's the distinctive understatement of Dixon and the Innervision crew.
Over the years it has been available in various colours and styles.

“Mata Mata” is the urgent outlier on Trikk’s debut album Fauna & Flora. Red hot and ready to turn it up, this explosive hit of baile funk erotica “definitely cannot be played on the radio,” jokes Trikk of the track, which features first-time vocals from visual artist and Boiler Room Brazil MC Gabriel Massan, whose words ricochet around Trikk’s high-octane production. “We needed someone who had the attitude and charisma to pull this off,” he says.
