Cristoph to releases anthemic new EP FaCet Vol.2

The DJ and producer crafts a hard-hitting collection of progressive house

Cristoph – FaCet Vol.2 is OUT NOW

UK electronic music DJ/producer Cristoph is back with his masterfully crafted new EP FaCet Vol.2.

Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/facet-vol-2/4279809

 

Expanding his sonic horizons with expansive progressive productions, Cristoph’s latest release is a treat for fans of melody-driven soundscapes as well as club-ready anthems.

FaCet Vol.2 has been released in three sets of two tracks each, starting on 5th October with focus track ‘I Will Find You’, a brooding and electrifying slow-builder that sets the tone for the EP. “No matter where you go I will find you”, goes the ominously repeated central hook. Its stunning b-side, ‘The Shift’ introduces bright synth melodies and swooning strings into the mix.

Dropping on 19th October was second focus track ‘Come With Me’, blending a headstrong groove with sumptuous arpeggiated synth melodies, huge drops and an inventive mix of chopped vocal samples. The track’s b-side ‘The Flute’ has a more tribal feel, introducing hypnotic synthesised flute overtones and weaving them in and out of a pounding percussive rhythm.

Two final tracks drop on 2nd November to round out the release. EP opener ‘Cascade’ kicks off the release with an uptempo banger bursting with instantly memorable topline melodies. Finally, closing track ‘Wheels’ gives FaCet Vol.2 the euphoric climax it deserves, culminating in a dazzling blend of flawless pianos and synths over a rolling groove.

From sneaking into his local club to DJ as a teen to performing season-long residencies at Ibiza’s most extravagant club, Hï, Cristoph’s journey to global stardom is a tale of passion and hard-work, underpinned by a supreme talent and energy which has seen the British DJ and producer catapult into the eyes -and ears -of dance music’s biggest names. Inspired by the Chicago house scene whilst growing up in Newcastle, England, Cristoph sought influence from the sounds of acts like Masters at Work and the progressive tones of Sasha & Digweed, as well as his own upbringings. With Cristoph’s brother landing him his first spot in a local Newcastle venue, the DJ’s father was the figure responsible for the purchase of his first pair of decks.

Mastering his craft on vinyl, Cristoph soon started to hone his talents in the studio, receiving his first big break via the tutorship of YHot Since 82, aka Daley Padley. Following his widely supported release ‘Alone’ on Knee Deep in Sound, it was a meeting with another of dance music’s A-list names that changed the course of Cristoph’s future, when Eric Prydz, impressed by the Geordie’s crisp productions and acclaimed EP 8-track, offered him a spot on his new ‘Pryda Presents’ label. Releases such as ‘Feel’ and ‘EPOCH’ saw Cristoph quickly become a giant in the world of progressive house. Bringing his atmospheric productions to all corners of the globe, Cristoph’s sumptuous tones have seen the DJ play at the world’s biggest festivals and events, including Tomorrowland, Arc Festival, Parklife, Creamfields, Ultra Miami, Electric Zoo and EDC Las Vegas.

Now considered a regular among the Ibizan summer residency stalwarts, Cristoph has further instilled his unique talent into the public consciousness and helped cement this talent as a global force. Having previously released on iconic labels such as Bedrock, Suara, Noir, Last Night on Earth, and Yoshi Toshi, 2020 saw Cristoph join the Anjunadeep family with two hugely successful releases in the form of ‘Big H 2020’ and ‘SFB’.

Following on from the series of Consequence of Society radio shows, 2022 saw the launch of the label under the same moniker – Consequence of Society Recordings. Now having his own outlet has allowed Cristoph to release music at his own formidable rate including hugely anticipated classics like ‘Turning Away’ and ‘The Edge’ and in 2023 C.O.S. Recordings dropped the first FaCet series of waterfall release EP’s which showcase every side of this talented producer\\\’s musical strengths. 2023 also saw the single ‘Breathe’ collaboration with Camelphat reach platinum status, a true milestone in any musician\\\’s career.

The future looks utterly solid for Cristoph. Touring has never been so globally prolific, musical productions have never been so widely well received and the release schedule of his own productions along with cherry picked remixes stretches far into the distant future.

Following on from the acclaimed FaCet Vol.1 released earlier this year, FaCet Vol.2 shows the strides Cristoph is making as a producer, crafting some of the most anthemic house music around today.

Kölsch processes the past on powerful new album “I Talk To Water”

The Dane’s fifth album is a poignant journey through love and grief

Kölsch – I Talk To Water (Kompakt)

Stream & Buy https://fanlink.to/ITalkToWater

 

Danish house and techno phenomenon Kölsch sends hearts soaring on his rousing new album I Talk To Water, out today, 27th October via Kompakt.

Kölsch’s fifth album for Kompakt, I Talk To Water, is an intimate, deep-dive narrative that interweaves themes of family and history, whilst acknowledging the process of turning grief into comfort. The core of the album is inspired by Kölsch’s father Patrick Reilly, a touring musician during the sixties and seventies who passed away in 2003. Album tracks ‘Grape’, ‘Tell Me’ and ‘It Ends Where It Began’ all use recordings of Patrick’s dreamlike guitar playing to poignant and delicate effect, fusing the album with the past.

Elsewhere, opener and title track ‘I Talk To Water’ sets the tone with a synth-soaked masterpiece featuring vocals from Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, while ‘Dreams’ builds a shimmering soundscape around heartstopping strings. Deeper into the tracklist, sublime lead single ‘An Amazing’ is an electrifying uptempo groove driven by a delicate vocal line repeating the simple yet powerful central hook: “you’re an amazing”.

Pieced together during the pandemic and its numerous lockdowns, the tranquility of this moment inspired Kölsch to reflect on his father’s passing, and how he could memorialise such a significant figure in his life. He reflects, “This whole album is about the process of loss, and for me it’s been one of my main driving forces in my musical life, the whole emotional aspect of whatever I’ve done has been based in that feeling that he’s not there anymore.”

Delving into a wave of sentimental emotions, I Talk To Water began to bloom. The recordings used in the project provided a gateway for Kölsch, to unite both the past and present in a meaningful way, allowing him to create his most personal body of work yet.

Kölsch is set to grace the release of I Talk To Water with a global tour, spanning Europe, South America and the United States, as well as festivals including Tomorrowland Brazil, Art of the Wild and Amsterdam ADE.

Kölsch, real name Rune Reilly Kølsch, is a Copenhagen, Denmark-based house and techno producer who has sold millions of records all over the world. He began in the 2010s producing numerous volumes of Kompakt\\\’s Speicher series, as well as the critically acclaimed album trilogy 1977, 1983 and 1989, which continued his tradition of ground breaking and genre defining cuts. Mega hit Grey taken from 1989, has accumulated a colossal 49 million streams on Spotify. Later in the decade, he founded his own Ipso label and released collaborations with Michael Mayer, Tiga, and Sasha, in addition to releasing a continuous mix of original material on Fabric in 2019. The lushly orchestrated Now Here No Where (2020) marked his return to Kompakt.

A poignant narrative weaved throughout 12 gripping tracks, I Talk To Water is a treat for fans of Kölsch’s melodic, emotionally charged techno.

Odd Mob and OMNOM release new single \\\”Mind Awake, Body Asleep\\\” on Insomniac Records.

Stream & Buy https://insomniacrecs.ffm.to/mindawake-bodyasleep

Brisbane-based producer Odd Mob has established himself a force to be reckoned with in house music, using his chameleonic abilities to transcend genres while unearthing unique samples and off-kilter sounds. OMNOM is an L.A-based producer who has been chomping up the house circuit since breaking out in 2018 with a sound that oozes fun, flavor and primetime flair. The two phenoms have paired up on a handful of collabs across the last year, and are teaming up once again for their joint offering on Insomniac Records. \\\”Mind Awake, Body Asleep\\\” is another certified smash, with a racing spoken word vocal reciting the mantra in its title to create an out-of-body experience fueled by clattering synth plucks, rumbling sub-bass, dark arpeggiations, glitchy stabs, rolling basslines and techno-leaning drums.
The track follows on from their recent \\\”Losing Control\\\” single on John Summit\\\’s label, amassing more than 2M streams, claiming the #1 spot on Beatport Overall Top 100 chart, and debuted at #42 on Billboard \\\’Dance / Electronic\\\’ digital sales chart. Odd Mob released his breakout single \\\”Left To Right\\\” on Insomniac / Tinted, as well as the follow-up \\\”Been Dreaming.\\\” He has an upcoming fest performance at Holy Ship! Wrecked, and headline gigs at CODA (Toronto), Summit Rooftop (Austin), 45 East (Portland), Celebrities (Vancouver). OMNOM debuted on Insomniac in 2018 with \\\”Methane,\\\” and released his \\\”Skin\\\” collab alongside VNSSA in 2020, with mix support from Wax Motif, ACRAZE, Dr Fresch, Walker & Royce, LP Giobbi, Party Favor. They have a co-headline show at Elsewhere (Brooklyn), and are both providing support for John Summit at BMO Stadium (LA).
