Harmont is the name chosen by Konrad Milan and Andreas Moser for their up-and-coming nu jazz project. With only a few tracks released so far, the duo is still easing their way into the community. What is immediately evident however, is that both Milan and Moser have set off on this new exploration of electronica having already acquired significant experience as producers. Despite how limited their discography is the professional perspective at work is clear.

That’s not to say that the Austrian duo is predictable; Harmont’s live sessions have sparked with unpredictable moments of creativity. There’s no strong sense of being tied to a specific genre, but so far the pair have been leaning towards jazztronica tones at home in cinematic media. There’s also a touch of organic samples from piano and light percussion, but these elements are attentively kept from overwhelming the presence of breezy synthesizer.

 ‘Skrei’ is the first official single from Milan and Moser, although their live sessions are also available for listening. As an introductory track to Harmont it demonstrates a talent for mellow rhythms, as well as an attraction to diffuse levels of synthesizer able to conjure a celestial ambience.

Gathering spirits for samples, Hanses releases ‘Tapete’

Hanses is one of the hip-hop artists out there characterised by their constant scavenging for unique and inspiring samples, uncovering soundbites and cultivating the energy within them to create a soul which the rest of the track can grow around.

From a top-down view Hanses is notable for establishing the label Fennek Records with fellow beat producer ‘Shaga’. Founded in early 2019 and based in Mannheim, Germany, this slowly expanding label represents the drive for online community and cooperation within the electronic scene.

The discography presented by Hanses is largely represented by one off singles which orbit around ‘Poltergeist’; a solid 24 track compilation with a central Japanese theme. The 2019 LP uses found sound from old interviews and TV shows, meaning that the atmosphere that Hanses raises up is decidedly lo-fi, bringing back to life that static second hand nostalgia of times and places already in the past. There’s a little Japanese city pop here, a smooth sound softened by the drop in fidelity to blend into a nu-jazz flavour.

‘Tapete’ (wallpaper) is the latest track from Hanses, instrumental hip-hop that incorporates light percussion and muted electro-acoustic. It’s non-conformative, expressive, and music that rolls in like a breeze.
