About the release

With a background in shaping landscapes and creating permacultural environments, Adel became a multidimensional and interdisciplinary artist creating visuals whilst exploring waveforms and rooms. As well as providing visuals for Herrensauna and AnnaMelina’s and Varg’s Flora project at atonalFestival, his music appears in the upcoming movie M/M by DrewLint. By launching ‘When Are We Now?’ Adel Akram takes the idea of a label as an archive to document his surrounding and the process of examination with different media, arts and questions about our current position in time. The first release excerpts entries from his personal audio log, recorded during the last two years and reveals his keen but dreamy and vibrant access to sound.

[…] Flamboyant chords and larger than life strings are lifting up “I’m Only Visiting Here” to a Detroit techno look-alike that reminds of smoothness from Marcello Napoletano or Giorgio Luceri. It’s a (fr)agile favourite we can only ask for staying a bit longer. Abrupt change happens in crunchy “His Beautiful Lips”, sounding like a big beat collision of U2’s “Numb” and Moby’s “Go”. And if you haven’t heard about Ananuri Lake, the ambient ending will certainly spark the interest.[…] Terminal 313
