UK producer nimino collaborates with house music maverick Claptone for a remix of the viral hit "I Only Smoke When I Drink," now available via Counter Records/Ninja Tune. Die neue Remix kommt an, während Nimino mitten in seiner aktuellen Nordamerika-Tour ist.
Ursprünglich auf TikTok mit 17M organischen Plays explodiert, "I Only Smoke When I Drink" hat derzeit über 500.000 Plays pro Tag, hat neun aufeinanderfolgende Wochen auf der Dance/Electronic Chart von Billboard verbracht, erreichte Platz 57 in den offiziellen UK Singles Chart, ist auf der BBC Radio 1 A-Liste aufgestiegen und hat seit seiner Veröffentlichung über 100k Shazams gesammelt. Wonderland hat es in Dauerschleife, Diplo spielt es in seinen Sets und Music Ally hat die Strategie hinter seinem Erfolg analysiert.
Das Lied ist nur ein kleiner Einblick in Niminos Talent für eingängiges Songwriting. In Kombination mit seinen einzigartigen Weltbau-Techniken schafft Nimino eine reichhaltige Palette an illusorischer, lo-fi, UKG-gefleckter House- und Hip-Hop-Musik, die ernsthaft Anklang gefunden hat. Claptone nimmt diese weichen, flauschigen Klänge geschickt auf und erfindet eine federnde, tech-house-lastige Grundlage für sie, während er die Magie der Lead-Synths und Vocals beibehält.
Die belgische Komponistin Alice Hebborns Debütalbum "Saisons" ist eine nachdenkliche Reise durch Klang und Natur. Es ist eine tief persönliche Erkundung der Beziehung der Menschheit zur natürlichen Welt, geprägt durch Hebborns Spaziergänge in der Landschaft und ihre Lektüre über Ökofeminismus und Umwelt-Harmonie.
"Saisons" entstand aus Hebborns Umzug aufs Land im Jahr 2021, wo ihre tägliche Eintauchen in wilde Landschaften die komplexe Klangwelt dieses Projekts inspirierte. Das siebenbewegte Album für Klavier und Elektronik stellt nicht buchstäbliche Jahreszeiten dar, sondern sammelt Eindrücke der Natur, wie sie heute ist – fließend, unvorhersehbar und zunehmend durch den Klimawandel gestört. Die Pianistin Nao Momitani, Hebborns enge Mitarbeiterin, tritt auf dem Album auf und verschmilzt akustische und elektronische Texturen zu einem harmonischen und organischen Klangbild.
Das Album wird am 6. Dezember über Western Vinyl veröffentlicht, und heute teilt sie den neuen Track "Saisons – Bewegung 6", der eine zeitlose Schönheit hat. "Der Track ist inspiriert von der Freude, die sich durch die überwältigende Stärke der Natur offenbart, wenn sich alles Leben in einer wirbelnden Bewegung vereint, getragen vom kontinuierlichen Fluss des Flusses", beschreibt Alice.
