Together they form Innervisions’ unique audio-visual universe. With Berlin as its home, Innervisions evolves from within the city and evokes impressions from all over the world with its releases from artists including: Toto Chiavetta, Tokyo Black Star, Marcus Worgull, Recondite, Henrik Schwarz, David August, Trikk, Aera, and Dixon and Ame themselves
Review: Earlier in the summer, Innervisions dropped the club mix of 'Secret Places', the title track from Echonomist's debut album. The album, which is presented here in its entirety, arrives some 17 years after his first single. Since the Greek producer has plenty of experience, it's unsurprising to find that he's used the opportunity the format provides to showcase many different sides of his musical outlook. So, we get an attractive blend of ambient, subtly post-punk influenced downtempo pop ('A Different Frame'), dark-wave influenced throb-jobs (the title track), pulsating electro-disco (the dark Italo-ish 'The Sequence Cabinet'), mind-mangling vocal tech-house ('Falling Head First', 'High End'), evocative neo-progressive house ('Empty Hours'), deep, dubby and ghostly electronica ('When In Rome') and quirky leftfield synth-pop workouts that defy easy categorization ('Back To Mine').
Review: As Innervisions looks forward to its 100th release in 2021, its new 'Limbo' various artists compilation marks a change within the label, club culture and the music industry at large, signifying how it will continue to evolve and adapt. Featuring ascending Bavarian Innellea on the evocative breaks of "The Invention Of Flying", Danish dancefloor drama expert Denis Horvat in fine form as always on "Unikum", Lake People, the alias of prolific Leipzig-based producer Martin Enke, with a typically ethereal outing titled "Divergence" and the ever reliable Aera with the serene futurist electro beats of "Shallows". To quote label boss Dixon regarding the release: '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'.
Review: Ame have always been an inventive pair, but even by their standards this is a departure. Along with Amampondo, they've laid down a delicious chunk of ethno-house that just bristles with summery energy. There's infectious ethnic (possibly West African) lead and backing vocals, looped-up acoustic guitars, heavy electronic melodies and, naturally, some deliciously epic builds based around deep organ chords. While the first version is closer in style to much of their previous output, it's the second version that really hits the spot - if only for the sweetness of the production and the summery strut of the composition. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but we think it's spiffing.
