In line with their previous work, Karabasan Drane’s contribution to Blaues Rauschen 2022 is grounded in an exploratory wandering through a distinct sonic world of shady dream logic. Drawing from the duo’s shared creative backgrounds they often utilize their own layered and manipulated field recordings together with synthesizers and lo-fi sound sources as well as high-end digital production methods to form a hypnotic vision based in repetition and subdued tonality. The result is a foray into a dreamlike soundspace where creeping minimalism and heavy electronics are interwoven to stir up an isolationist shift in perception.

bio

Karabasan Drane – the musical duo of Stockholm based Jin Mustafa and Robin Smeds Mattila – conjure up a sense of restrained immediacy with their slow moving collision of glacial drone, harsh ambient haze and sparse arrangements of crumbled rhythms and veiled melodics. Previous performances include Sweden’s Norbergfestival and Berlin club staple Herrensauna. Their debut album Crystalline State was released in 2020 by EN X PL, the joint effort by labels enmossed and Psychic Liberation.
