AFFIN 005LTD-LP
|
With Terrain, Joachim Spieth presents the fourth long-player on his Affin imprint. The follow-up album to Ousia (2021), Terrain reflects on the human relationship with nature. The album title is a reference to a musical language that layers Spieth's music production practices and intimacy with nature. Terrain was forged in deep solitude. "It's an interplay of euphoric flashes and introspection," says Spieth. The eight compositions take the listener into a captivating cascade of sonic textures resembling internal states fluctuations and emotional release. The tension between the organic warmth and static curves broad tones into liquified roars and empty spaces. Unlike Spieth's previous albums, Terrain holds more intimate gestures and emotional sensibility. Soothing frequencies here are intended to create a state of awareness in the listener. It is a work of conceptual and emotional beauty, evoking a form of spatial imagery that is as grounding as it is elevating.

AFFIN 055LTD-EP
|
With Narration, Toki Fuko returns to Affin after a long break. The EP contains four stylistically diverse tracks (some of them overlong), which are captivating in their perfection and document the musical versatility of the musician, who skillfully moves between dubby, hypnotic, in-depth techno here. An extremely worthy successor and a grandiose further development of the Astatine EP from 2020.

With the project XV | 1 Affin leaves 15 years of its existence behind and looks expectantly and full of optimism into the future. The A side starts with MTRL's (co-founder of the Munich IO label), "Spice Fields" who celebrates his Affin debut here with a delicate, driving track. Another premiere is the first collaboration between Cauê and Joachim Spieth, who celebrate with "Alpha", an atmospheric multi-modulated piece of club music. The B side starts with an old acquaintance, Reggy Van Oers, who makes a massive reappearance with "niffA" after a few years of abstinence. Svarog closes the first episode of the 15th anniversary celebration with the pushing "Psalm". All tracks were mastered at the Berlin-based Artefacts Mastering Studio. Markus Guentner, a label artist from the early days, is responsible for the graphic design.

AFFIN 004LTD-LP
|
On Decades On Divided Stars, Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, presents his first album on Affin LTD, each of its tracks spanning his trademark Odyssean length, with a sonic and emotional density second to none. You are lost... losing your sense of time... of self. Yet finding your inner existence in its inwardly-folding galaxies. Your thoughts and emotions revolve, as planets caught in gravitational pull, before you suddenly awake, as if from a dream, unaware of how much time has passed. Only the stars will tell...
