Východiska: Imre Kiss a jeho nočné vlny

Ako grafický dizajnér žil a pracoval v Londýne, momentálne pendluje medzi rodným Šamorínom a Budapešťou. Začiatkom októbra vydal album na budapeštianskej značke Farbwechsel, ktorá už dlhšiu dobu združuje novú vlnu miestnych elektronických producentov. Kissova hudba sa v niečom odkazuje na hypnagogickú sonickú odnož, je nostalgická, lo-fi a osobná. Na druhej strane vzniká v určitom hudobnom kontexte, ktorý sa vyzdvihuje estetiku lofi so všetkými jej nedokonalosti a určitú zraniteľnosť, v ktorých nachádza inšpirácie.

Jeho album Midnight Wave vyšiel prednedávnom na značke Farbwechsel na kazete. Okrem houseovejších trackov obsahuje zasnené, ambientné skladby, ale aj remixy od projektu Best Available Technology alebo šéfa labelu S Olbrichta, ďalšieho maďarského producenta.

Imre Kiss and his Midnight Wave
Imre Kiss grew up in Southern Slovakia. Ever since he was a child, he has been fascinated by music as well as visuals. These two fields merge in his work. As a graphic designer, he has lived and worked in London, currently he moves back and forth between his native Šamorín and Budapešť. In the beginning of October, his album was released by the Budapest-based label Farbwechsel, which has acted as an umbrella for the new wave of electronic producers from Hungary. Kiss´ music alludes to the hypnagogic sonic realms in some way, soaked in lo-fi nostalgia, a universal and highly personal piece of work.On the other hand created in a certain musical context, which extolls the aesthetics of lo-fi with all its imperfections and certain vulnerability, in which it finds inspiration.

His album Midnight Wave has been recently released on tape on Farbwechsel. Aside from more house-oriented production, it also includes dream-like, ambient tracks, as well as remixes by the likes of Best Available Technology or the boss of the Farbwechsel label S Olbricht.
