Kimyan Law – „Facade [feat. SISKA]“ (PlusPlusPlus Music // 27.10.’23)
A song regarding appearances and being. Kimyan Law and SISKA In their number, they address the contrast between the innermost and the externally portrayed to others and what an emotionally grueling struggle it is for someone to constantly maintain this facade. Musically, the Viennese electronic artist shows himself as usual with an independent note that extends far beyond the realm of electronic music and also sounds a lot more varied in terms of structure than many things from the same musical area. Deep basses, breaky beats and a complex and experimental sound work provide the atmospheric underpinnings, which singer SISKA directs in a gripping, melancholic direction with her crystal-clear voice.

The song that the Tyrol-born composer, Grammy nominee and celebrated percussionist together with the vocal trio Mad About Lemon (“Heidi Erler, Mimi Schmid and Anna Widauer) is a piece of music with a calm tone with a profound message, which is told in a very atmospheric way via gently dancing handpan sounds, a subtle minimalist beat and wonderful vocal harmonies. Manu Delago and Mad About Lemon In “Modern People” they address the technologies that are so highly valued by many and their ever-continuing development; they ask themselves whether we as humans will still be able to use them in a few decades in the face of the many current crises – such as the climate crisis, which seems to be progressing inexorably can.

Oscar Haag – “Sharpen the knives” (LKMTV // VÖ 20.10.’23)
“Sharpen the knives” and prick up your ears when Oskar Haag follows up with a rumba in the same year of the release of his acclaimed debut album. Loud Wikipedia The special artistic feature of rumba lies in the playing of two partners. In a well-danced Rumba there is intense courtship; In artistic contrast, both partners desert from time to time and have to be lured by the other to return. The focus is on the non-verbal communication of the protagonists, to which the audience ideally feels invited to take part in the dancers’ exciting flirtation.
An exercise that the Austrian Beauty manages effortlessly, even on her own. It becomes exceptionally likely to be a hit when the promising dance is joined by a longing, exotic melody, which is placed over a stylistically successful fusion of synthetic and acoustic brass harmonies and thus burns subito into the auditory cortex of those participating listeners.
How much the sound is reminiscent of a hit single by another brilliant school dropout and his preference for a city in France will not matter in retrospect when fans soon declare “Sharpen the Knifes” to be a kind of “Lambada” of their generation and as a soundtrack of homage celebrate their allegory of a new masculinity.
