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.

PASO 009EP
|
"Joachim Spieth -- 'Abi 99' appeared in 1999 at the freshly established label Kompakt, which combined the outrider labels of German minimal techno, Profan and Studio 1, which up to that point had never featured any artist outside of Cologne's naturally grown former Delirium posse of Cologne. Releases on the innovative sublabels Speicher and Auftrieb followed. Now he is back with this massive release! Remixes by: Martin Eyerer owner of the labels Session Deluxe and Kling Klong. A lot of stuff on labels like Underwater, My Best Friend, Kickboxer or Trapez show that Martin's productions are hotter than ever. 2nd remix by Silversurfer, one of the owner of Crosstownrebels Records and famous for his releases together with KiKi on imprints like Crosstown Rebels and BPitch Control."

"Yet I felt drunken by his eyes that could melt even the biggest goldnuggest and by the way he was talking about heaven and earth and life inbetween. Eventually, you can only enjoy goodlooking boys from a certain distance, but when they start talking, you start crying. But what came after the kiss did not make me feel like writing a letter of complaint neither to his mother nor to the Good Lord...rather a letter of thanks. Two heartbeats later, when I finally got rid of my trousers, I knew it: If music was sex than, dammned, this guy would be Beethoven. Apart from the simple fact that Beethoven did not write his 9th Symphony with his tongue, I suppose..."

KOM 026EP
|
"Two years after his debut release 'Abi 99' (Kompakt 5) and his respected album Fluchtpunkt on Oni:tor, Joachim Spieth returns to his Cologne homebase. 'You Don't Fool Me' marks a new step in his young career. His sound became much tighter and sexier. Follow the subtle development of the A1 techno track and be amazed like we were when the funk embraces you from behind. On the flipside you'll be surprised to find two brilliant pop ambient gems. Especially the second track surely makes you wanna do a somersault -- like the first touch of your teenage love. Ready for a romance?"
