They bring a sense of fun and unrivalled energy to their live shows and DJ sets which instantly connects with any crowd in front of them and their charming disregard for musical boundaries ensures that you never know quite what to expect or where they’re heading next. When not feeding their addiction to pinball machines, the duo of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling are constantly creating, keeping things fresh by forming labels such as Retreat run by Hauke and Quarion, Pen \u0026amp; Paper run by the duo themselves and Hauke’s new baby Save The Books. Last year’s Needledrop LP for Night Time Stories saw them step away from the dance floor and head into deep, downtempo mode to great effect, and now we’re proud to welcome Session Victim back to Delusions Of Grandeur for the release of Two Crowns which sees them edging back towards clubbier sounds, albeit with their trademark live instrumentation and highly musical approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EP gives us three original tracks which move smoothly from the low-slung funky wobble of the title track with it’s stabbing analogue synths and house not house live drum groove, through to the lush, expansive sounds of Village Youth. Once again, Session Victim have created a collection of tracks which give us a sense of nostalgia for early 90’s Fila Brazilia\/Solid Doctor records on the influential Porky label. A world where trippy spoken word samples, cut up breakbeats, deep pads and sine wave basslines live in perfect harmony and a sense of optimism flows through every note.

Thermal Explorer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis June Session Victim return to Jimpster's ' Delusions Of Grandeur' imprint with a third studio album. 'Listen To Your Heart' is the result of a year of cross-continental scripting, started in their Hamburg studio and wrapped up stateside in San Francisco's Room G Studios where the duo had worked on their 2014 LP 'See you When You Get There'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSampling still remains an ever present backbone throughout the album. Session Victim have dug deep for sounds, resulting in a richly detailed and organic sound collage that goes hand-in-hand with their live instrumentation, this time enhanced through several guest musician appearances, most notably Carsten \"Erobique\" Meyer (ex-International Pony). Smooth guitar samples are built up on 'Over and Over' while on 'Moons \u0026amp; Flowers' the live instrumentals that Session Victim do so well come to the fore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe treasure trove of San Francisco's record shops proved to be a hard bait to resist and the pair spent a large part of their Californian time hunting for records to sample. Three new tracks emerged from these digging sessions, with the sweeping disco string arrangements on 'Shadows' standing out as a prime ode to days spent combing through bargain bins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListen To Your Heart is equally a product of the road. While heavy touring is often cited as a hindrance to the creativity of artists, Session Victim see their live shows as a catalyst to their creativity. Two US tours in 2016 gave the Hamburg duo the opportunity to take track sketches and fragments on the road to incorporate into their live shows and then digest them back in the studio. The playful funk soaked groove of 'Matching Half' captures the sense of movement present throughout Listen To Your Heart and the LP mix of 'Up To Rise', which caused heavy ripples when it dropped as part of 2016's Matching Half EP is an extension of the upbeat and euphoric groove\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delusions Of Grandeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40377101877404,"sku":"DOGLP07WHITE","price":26.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/DOGLP07_WHITE_DESLEEVED_MOCKUP_c2218eb7-dab9-423a-8c6a-701758c393a9.jpg?v=1625904027"},{"product_id":"session-victim-two-crowns-ep-b-stock","title":"SESSION VICTIM - Two Crowns EP (B STOCK)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: DOG 84B\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 17 Mar 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Deep House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB STOCK - Damage to spine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delusions Of Grandeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41059997024412,"sku":"DOG 84B","price":6.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_96f08790-6e46-4be6-a539-1aaf9845c770.jpg?v=1633890370"},{"product_id":"session-victim-10-000-hours","title":"Session Victim - 10.000 Hours","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: TOYT122  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 0880655512215  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 03 Dec 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Deep House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1 Chunky Dip (5:54)\u003cbr\u003eA2 MPFree Now (4:13)\u003cbr\u003eB1 Hide And Seek (5:10)\u003cbr\u003eB2 House In The Hills (4:28)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLets hear the German duo explain this record themselves:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an EP with four very different tracks and we really mean all of them. None here feels like everybody's darling but they all do make us feel something, and that is what we strife for, always. The tracks have all been made by just the two of us completely being in the zone, except for House In The Hills, that started as a wonderful jam at our friend Tx‘s place in late 2019, together with him and Jamie Lloyd. We basically hung out for two days straight with nothing but the best people, great food and all the music - happy days as one might guess. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Toy Tonics crew has been in touch ever since we remixed a song for Kapote, and the idea of doing an EP together had and been tossed around for a while already. We've been digging their musical approach all along and we're happy to get the chance to contribute a small piece to their story. When the pandemic hit, we were fortunate to have our friend Iron Curtis letting us move into his studio, as we had just lost our beloved place in Hamburg - so guess what we did for the most part of 2020? Exactly. We have always been spending most of our time together cooking beats, but probably never as much as over the last year. So has it been 10.000 hours by now?

The playful funk soaked groove of Matching Half captures the sense of movement present throughout Listen To Your Heart and the LP mix of Up To Rise, which caused heavy ripples when it dropped as part of 2016's Matching Half EP is an extension of the upbeat and euphoric groove that permeates the album.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn impeccable demonstration of unadulterated house, Listen To Your Heart sees Session Victim at the top of their game.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delusions Of Grandeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42815928762524,"sku":"DOGLP07V","price":53.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_5b1c1500-ce10-4b7a-8ef3-d06ae609880b.jpg?v=1699877930"},{"product_id":"session-victim-screen-off-ep-incl-iron-curtis-remix","title":"Session Victim - Screen Off EP (Incl.

Coming hot off their latest downtempo LP entitled Low Key, Low Pressure for Night Time Stories, you can tell Hauke and Matthias were ready to take things back to the dance-floor and have delivered an EP which looks set to become a future classic and no doubt big in the box of discerning DJ’s the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScreen Off is really it’s own thing, living somewhere on the long and winding road between the Bar Kays and the Bad Brains, suffice to say that what it lacks in easily definable attributes it makes up for in sheer energy and raw attitude. Hauke and Matthias re-invite Jamaican poet and vocalist Ras Stimulant, who contemplates our screen addictions and urges us to disconnect and be present in the moment. Matthias’ rolling bassline provides the backbone, whilst hints of crunchy Moog and chopped guitar samples all bring a sense of urgency to the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight The Way acts as an antidote, bringing a sense of calm melancholia in contrast to the title track’s low-end, funked-up fervour.
