Hivern Discs
Played by: Juno Recommends Techno
Review: It's hard to believe that Found Ritual is Absis' first release - it's impressively formed and teems with intuitively hypnotic sensibilities. "Floating Around" and "Break Through Far" start the release with eerie synth lines and ominous bass pulses. Absis then ups the pace for "Search And Find", delivering a multi-layered, throbbing piece of techno that is redolent of producers like Dozzy and Neel. On "Running Uphill", he changes tact again, and drops a broken beat arrangement that resounds to a cacophony of bleeps and tones. Meanwhile, "Dive Inside" reverts to the slower, drawn out approach that prevailed at the start of the release, this time with the added benefit of a layered sub-bass.

Review: For Hivern Discs first release of 2021 the Spanish label welcomes the electrified and bassline driven sounds of Arnau Obiols, aka Velmondo and Barcelona duo Iro Aka. Both parties debuted their independent projects on Hivern last year, with the threesome combining here to drop something that merges traditional deep Italian techno and similar '90s flavours with touches of exotic folk elements and rhythmic percussion sequences. Graced by touches of acid and goa synth, Les Illes Del Cel pushes hard in tracks like "Left Channel" with a tougher and slower groove implemented in "Altar". Get your slo-mo touches of exotic balearic sounds through "Kyushu" next to some higher frequencies in "Substraction" - with "Wavefold" offering broken-beat drums and spacey atmospheres.

Review: Reintroducing the sounds of Torsten Linds? Andersen to the world again is Hivern Discs with a second release by Rounds. It follows the artist's Glass / Foot single from 2014, with "Days" adding another deep and experimental touch to the glacial output of Round's discography. With yacht-rock like vocals blending with a Trancey '80s sound, "Days" goes deep, synthwise sub-licious in its fusion of genre and style. Hivern Discs boss looks to slow, dubby, tripped out and stripped back sentiments in his 'Skoooldub' next to some OG Detroit electro squelch from Aaron FIT Siegal (tip for the adventurous selector). Optimo's JT goes acid house to the point of didgeridoo in a remix indebted to a life of rave while the Ex-Terrestrial's mix hits the spot in a sweet, ethereal and trip hop version good enough for a release on Warp. Erryday.

Review: Eva Geist is the alias of Berlin-based Italian Andrea Noce, a singer and synthesist who has released on French imprint Madam Macambo, Mehmet Aslan's Fleeting Wax and Gainesville, FL. cassette imprint Elestial Sound. This new one comes courtesy of John Talabot's Hivern Discs titled Urban Monogamy. Of the name, Geist says "a sort of Pandora's box opened up to offer me, and pretty much everyone around me, a variety of relationship forms..iIt was very confused. I think this represents that confused time." Features the transcendent kosmische tones of opening opus "Green Healing Highness" and the arcane yet seductive new beat groove of the title track. This is followed by the Velvet Season The Hearts Of Gold Remix which has already been played by the emperor of cosmic sleaze himself: DJ Harvey.

Review: Hivern Discs delivers a debut from Anton Klint, a Swedish artist who claims to enjoy "making music at night". Whether the two original cuts here are typical of his production style remains to be seen, but title track "Lyckliga Manniskor" - a slipped, off-kilter house workout full of layered hand percussion, fuzzy synth lines, tropical melodies and Swedish spoken word vocals - is both bonkers and brilliant. "Djembe Unchained", a dub-flecked, decidedly out their chunk of analogue-rich electronic deep house hypnotism, is also rather special. Berceuse Heroique regular Black Merlin naturally does a bang up job remixing that track, too, offering up a mind-altering blend of melodic synthesizer arpeggio lines, foreboding chords and unfussy machine drums.

Review: John Talabot's always interesting Hivern Discs has enjoyed another strong year, with top-notch releases from Red Axes, Marvin & Guy and INIT amongst the highlights. To round off 2015, Talabot has turned to Franc Sayol's Mistakes Are OK project, which was last featured on Hivern Discs back in 2012. "Forgiven" is a wonderfully rich and enjoyable concoction, with headline synth lines, steel drum melodies and Balearic chords riding a rolling, reggae-inspired house rhythm. Edward serves up two reworks on the flip, of which the straight 'Remix' - a late night tech-house throbber complete with alien synth flourishes and rolling, dubwise stabs - is probably the pick.
