Nonkeen, the avant-garde musical collective comprising Nils Frahm, Frederic Gmeiner, and Sebastian Singwald, is gearing up for their long-awaited return with the upcoming album "All good?". Renowned for their boundary-pushing soundscapes, Nonkeen captured global attention with their critically acclaimed 2016 albums, "The Gamble" and "Oddments of the Gamble". The releases showcased their ability to seamlessly blend electronic, ambient, and experimental elements into a mesmerizing auditory experience. The trio has been celebrated for their intricate compositions, intense live shows and a sonic palette that defies conventional genres. "All good?" promises to build on their established legacy, offering listeners another immersive journey into the uncharted realms of musical expression.

Im Hauptfokus des Albums 'Ore' sind Drums, umspielt von elektronisch manipulierten Texturen und akustischen Details.
Über die Jahre hat Belfi eine Soundwelt kreiert, die gleichermaßen ein Drum Set-up mit elektronischen Komponenten vereint.
Es war ein langer Weg, die Akustik seines Saari Drumkits zu entwickeln, bis es seinen Ansprüchen genügte.
In perfekter Symbiose stehen die elektronischen Elemente des Nord Modular und Samplers.
Beide Welten vereinen sich auf Ore. Belfi ist bekannt für seine energetischen und charismatischen Auftritte. Solo, sowie als Teil seiner unzähligen Kollaborationen. 2016 war er mit Nonkeen auf Tour, der dreiköpfigen Band von Nils Frahm. Belfi war schnell das Highlight der Shows, nachdem sie das London Barbican Centre ausverkauft hatten. Mit seinem beeindruckenden und explosiven Drum Soli, wurde dies ein unvergesslicher Moment.

Apollo proudly presents the debut from Haramia Tapes, a new mysterious side project from renowned Hungarian electronic music producer Laurine Frost.
More usually known for his refined techno sensibilities, Frost has packed 'Pfunk' with deftly programmed rhythmic structures and infused it with low slung bass and jazzy textures that make for a sumptuous, enveloping listening experience, ideal for fans of Nonkeen, Jazzanova or Leftfield.
'Pfunk' contains seven unique beat sessions - smooth funk, crossed with unique broken rhythms, live drums, bass and found sounds - shot through with cinematic melancholy.
From the elegiac piano of opener 'I Am You' to the twisted drunken breaks of 'Pfunk' to the cooled out percussion and spaced atmospheres of 'Hail', or the moody spy-movie atmospherics of Farewell Four - this is an album that traverses a variety of moods and textures, effortlessly fusing traditional instrumentation with modern electronics and a perfect addition to Apollo's beguiling canon of mellowed out grooves.
