Alpenglühen starts 2026 with two close friends working together in the 11th one Atàvic is the collaborative project between Estrato Aurora and Absis, merging two distinct yet complementary approaches to electronic music. The project is rooted in texture, atmosphere, and subtle narrative, allowing sound to evolve organically and without excess. They together bring a refined sense of space and detail, working with ambient layers, restrained rhythms, and melodic fragments that unfold slowly. Here is a 4 track release with a more tactile and material approach, focusing on timbre, resonance, and sonic density, blurring the line between abstraction and structure. The alignment between Atàvic and the label lies in a shared appreciation for subtlety, patience, and sonic storytelling, where each release is conceived as a complete and meaningful statement. With this reference, Atàvic contributes a work that resonates with alpenglühens aesthetic ethos while reinforcing the collaborative project’s own identity: music that invites close listening and reveals its nuances slowly. If you’re looking for a peak-time, dancefloor-driven banger to keep you moving until sunrise, this is not that record. But if you’re after a mind-blowing experience that challenges and expands your listening (and dancings), this one’s for you. Don’t overthink it.[info sheet from distr.]
