HITAM- Championing a sound as ebulliently driving as it invites us to dip our toes into further hazy sonic grounds, the Dutch producer and Eerste Communie resident swings the pendulum betwixt racing 909-fuelled horsepower and more subdued, fearsome climates. As ever clinical in his approach and deadly in his execution, Hitam has us tripping out to relentless tech rage and hypnotic sound design laced into one smouldering hodgepodge of whelming, non-stop gusty sonics.
With an output embodying textural rhythms and cavernous emotions, a wider sonic palette is showcased in his productions; ranging from ambient and left field electronics to IDM, breakbeat and techno. By combining organic and artificial sound sources like field recordings and modular synthesis, with ancient and modern approaches to patterns and structure, he aims to reconnect the past and present and guide the listener through aural fields that are both familiar and unknown.
The dynamic and ethereal characteristics of his sound invoke a state of contemplation and receptiveness, by means of which one is invited to form a deeper connection within and between. Mind and body; self and other.
I-RO
- Imagine a dance floor as a canvas, not of paint but of vibrations that pulse through the very fabric of reality. Born in the rhythmic heart of Istanbul and honed in the techno chambers of Amsterdam, I-RO crafts this canvas. Her vision guides listeners to realms both deep within and far beyond the mundane.
Drawing from her background in Artificial Intelligence and her Mediterranean roots, I-RO employs a blend of technological influence and her intrinsic sensitivity to the ethnic-sonic waves of her heritage. Her approach balances technicality with deep intuition, a dance between calculated algorithms and spontaneous emotional insight. The rhythmic galloping of horses, echoing from her family's equestrian legacy, also permeates her sound, adding a powerful, majestic quality.
Her performances weave robust, galloping basslines with the fluidity of serene ocean waves and digital sharpness, creating a hypnotic mix that captivates the intellect and stirs the soul. Each set is a unique narrative, tailored to the moment and setting, shaped by sound, color, and emotion. Guided by I-RO’s profound soundscapes, audiences explore new dimensions of experience, each beat drawing them deeper into both the known and the unknown.
$LEAZY
