Paul Kalkbrenner Releases New Single

 After 18 months of no shows, Paul Kalkbrenner is running hot, releasing ‘Si Soy Fuego’ a brand new single and video fresh off headlining the renowned Exit Festival. Unveiling the Episode One dates of a brand new theatrical live concert tour in October , which will include screenings of a new director’s cut of the cult movie, Berlin Calling, in which Kalkbrenner starred.  ‘Si Soy Fuego’ is a percussive cut that Kalkbrenner centers around a Spanish language vocal that he discovered among “a pile of demo recordings”. It’s a buoyant message encapsulating Paul’s enthusiasm for live music’s return, a sentiment mirrored in the accompanying video, shot at this past weekend’s 20th-anniversary edition of Exit Festival in Serbia.

Ostgut-Ton’s ambient and experimental division A-TON announce the release of ‘DIALOGUE‘ , a 4-track extended player of heady meditative experimentations composed remotely during the height of the pandemic from Luke Slater, Anthony Child, KMRU, Lady Starlight, Tom Moth and Speedy J. DIALOGUE was conceived as a series of musical letters written back and forth between Luke Slater, Anthony Child (aka Surgeon), KMRU, Lady Starlight, Speedy J and harpist Tom Moth (of Florence + the Machine) at the height of the pandemic between 2020 and early 2021.  Using the common language of rhythmic ambient electronics, each DIALOGUE features three actors in a sonic conversation of longform improvisation between 15 and 25 minutes in length, with Luke Slater the common denominator. DIALOGUE will first be released digitally this month, with a full vinyl release of the project due to follow in August.  A-TON will release DIALOGUE on June 25, 2021. [source]
