Psy’Aviah and Mari Kattman have a new collaborations out with “Can We Make It Rhyme” and a cover of Soft Cell’s “Monoculture”… We go a long way back, since 2014… But it seems we both can’t really remember how it all started – so time for a chat with Mari on the new ep, her solo work and her signing with COP International + a teaser of her new EP “Trust”!

I discovered CLAIRVAL through friends of mine of the Facebook group BMA (Belgium Music Addicts), and I was instantly in love with the combination of intricate songwriting they had – taking their time, a slow pace to build up momentum and atmosphere. I was blown away by their cover of U2’s ‘Where the streets have no name’: six minutes long, but it grabbed my attention from beginning to end. The pacing, sound design and beautiful vocals of Annelies Tanghe who they often work with really made me follow them more closely, and as such, I couldn’t resist asking them for this project! Below is a talk about the project, and their awesome version of our original song “No More Heroes”. Read More …
Madil Hardis combines classical and electronic elements with ethereal vocals and can be described as deep and soulful Weltschmerz music, sometimes slow, sometimes faster but always full of intensity and emotion.
Her most popular releases include the singles Slow Kill and Summers Lost. And lately with tracks like ‘Carry Me Away’ and ‘Make Up For Lost Time’. We sat down with Madil Hardis, who I discovered through Sounds & Shadows (thanks Ken Magerman), and I immediately thought: “wow, this is unlike something I ever heard before”. Such a voice, such production! For the 20th Anniversary covers Madil picked the song “Lost At Sea”, the reasons for, she explains below in an interview and short video! Read More …
We had a chat with MIKE of Digital Factor, a name that can not be overlooked. They were one of the first electro acts from East Germany to get a record deal after the wall came down. The band was formed out of an insane enthusiasm for synthesizers and electronic music, which is present to this day. In 1994 Digital Factor released their first EP on a Danish label, soon after thgat they got signed by Hyperium / Hypnobeat. Since then Digital Factor worked passionately to evolve their sound, craft it and present it live on various tours. They covered “Lessons From The Past” from our album “Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars”.

When writing “Bittersweet” we set out a vision, to tell a story, to be honest about emotions. “Bittersweet” is the end of a trilogy that started with “Lightflare” – which was an album themed around the “cry for help” and “feeling lost in the world”. Read More …
The Breath Of Life for me encapsulates what I enjoy about music in general and that’s to be surprised in the combination of elements they have in their productions. I was an instant loved for example of their song “Crime Passionnel” where they have such a diverse mix of sounds, I would like to call it trip-hop meets a bit of rock… So it was with a small heart when I asked them if they would consider to cover us, and to my surprise, they agreed. It’s an iconic band I love a lot and this really means a lot to me to hear ‘The Parts You Can’t See’ in a version that is completely in their own sound & vision. Read More …
