digipak. Milan used to be misty, covered in fog, and Italians often still refer to the city as “grey”. It is here that Korpsvart and Ymir began writing their music, merging atmospheric black metal, blackgaze and a taste of depressive rock. After a debut EP released in 2014 and two years in the making, last summer saw the completion of “The Shrine Of Primal Fire”, the first album by A Pale December, due out for Avantgarde Music. The band looks up to several different influences, first and foremost from Agalloch intimacy and naturalistic poetry, to Katatonia melancholy, all melting in a somewhat blackgaze-ish, round kindness. The milanese band is only debuting, but their sound is definite and varied, yet humble. A first effort which shows a precise direction, the album succeeds in mixing fury and softness, nostalgia and sense of wonder. In the musicians own words, “though not exactly what one would call a concept album, "The Shrine Of..." can be considered as a coherent journey through the most sublime, yet dismal, aspects of nature and myth; a voyage which ultimately merges with a reflection on the human condition and its fleeting nature.” Once again the dichotomy man-nature is the ground from which a new musical and spiritual journey starts. A journey that runs through the woods, gazing at the sky and following the path of stars. Completely recorded and produced in their home studio, “The Shrine Of Primal Fire finds a perfect balance between so many different feelings, making the music of A Pale December the perfect soundtrack for the impending fall.

Producer Hans Hu$tle and singer Tahnee Matthiesen met while dancing to D'Angelos music in a club in Munich. Although they already knew each others musical projects, only after this they noticed their common love for dark moods and getting lost in psychedelic spheres. After nights of endless sessions, listening to Darkside, Portishead, computer noises and fieldrecordings, they started to combine their different approaches of making music for sketches that would later become the Contact" EP. The music on this records feels futuristic and innovative while also obviously drawing from the mentioned influences, best heard in the first single - We All : A psychedelic, moody, but still focused peace of music, based on raw vocal and guitar recordings, topped with a heavy baseline and edgy drums. The whole record is a great mixture of emotional power and well crafted production. It´s very intimate and sensual, while simultaneously being powerful and heavy. A listening pleasure for anybody who loves to get lost in music! About Tahnee Matthiesen: Singer and songwriter Tahnee Matthiesen was born on the 18th of April 1992 in Munich. Since her Father was a musician and singer, she grew up surrounded by music, which inspired her to develop her own melodies and lyrics at a young age. When she was thirteen, she sang in a small local singer songwriter band, presenting her work for the first time in public. After finishing school she took part in a two-year music-theater-project. It was here were she met the Producer Daniel Siebertz (Provo) with whom she became known as the Trip-Hop Duo Luko. About Hans Hu$tle: Born in 1993, Hans Hu$tle began his musical career by building a toy guitar out of his lego collection. Soon exchanging the toy with a real instrument, he started to play pieces by groups like Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Radiohead. Strongly inspired by his elder brother, a huge fan of Portishead and UK Dubstep (and a music producer himself), Hans finally started to build tunes on his mum´s computer. In 2014 he made his first public appearance with the project - Akere , working together with singer Sarah Sulai and Drummer/Producer L One to combine Electronica, Future Beats and Trip-Hop. After their debut LP - Blue Sphinx was released on 58Beats in 2016, Hans started to focus on producing more instrumental music, leading to the release of his G-Funk and Hip-Hop influenced - D.I.D.M.Z.D.G.S.H. Tape in 2016 and his genre-combining - EP II via Bumm Clack Records in 2017. Yet, while Hans has been making music for more than twelve years, his unique productions and genre-combining songwriting is only now being discovered by a wider audience. Just recently he got invited to Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp in Berlin, and the single - Gettin´ Money from his - EP II" got premiered by Splash Mag, one of Germany's biggest Hip-Hop magazines. His upcoming project, a collaboration EP with singer Tahnee Matthiesen, takes him back to his roots: It´s a sensual and dark record, strongly inspired by 90s Trip-Hop and Electronica. The release is anticipated for November 2017 on Compost Record's new sublabel Beat Art Department Record Label: Beat Art Department Style: Headz

Bob Luman, born Robert Glynn Luman 15 April 1937 in Nacogdoches, Texas, died December 27, 1978. Bob Luman started out as a rockabilly performer and later switched to country. Through his teens, Luman was primarily interested in singing country music like his idol Lefty Frizzell, but then he saw Elvis, which inspired him to try his hand at the rockabilly sound. Soon after graduating, Luman won a talent contest, leading to his debut on the Louisiana Hayride. He became a regular in the mid-'50s, and had a small role in the 1957 film 'Carnival Rock'; still, his singles did nothing on the charts. In 1958 Luman cut a demo 'Guitar Picker' with Eddie Cochran and Fred Carter on lead guitars. In 1959, the Pittsburgh Pirates offered Luman a contract, however, the Everly Brothers talked him into recording the Boudleaux Bryant song 'Let's Think About Living' which became a Top Ten hit on both the country and pop charts. His follow-up, 'The Great Snowman', was also a hit, but he was drafted, and spent the next two years in the military. In 1964, he began recording for Hickory Records, and the following year, he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Luman eventually signed with Epic Records and had a string of Top 25 hits over the next ten years. Luman had a major heart attack in 1975. His final chart appearance came in 1977, the following year he contracted pneumonia and died at the age of 41.
