Subtempo Records

Hanegi Koen, the creative duo based in Japan, return to Subtempo with The Nature of Nature. Greatly influenced by the wild contrasting outdoors of their home in Japan, the mountains, forests, and ocean, ‘The Nature of Nature’ is an open invitation to unplug to reconnect, a feeling that Hanegi Koen want to share with you. ⁠

“We like all things analog. We both use computers and digital screens a fair amount in our day job, so it’s nice to give our eyes a rest from that and allow the music to be created from everything we have on the table. Similarly vinyl records, film photography, and simply walking around outside in the forest – all these things are a way of slowing down and escaping the digital world.”⁠

This month's mix comes from surprising duo from the UK, Umber. It's rare when family and creativity meet, but in this case, the paths of these brothers have intersected throughout their careers. This is their latest creation, a back-to-back DJ set, on the heels of Alex's recent vinyl release on Subtempo. A perfect dancefloor warm-up set.⁠
