Philipp Priebe concludes his Movements In An Empty Department Store album with (Remixes III), featuring reworks from Molly, Hame, Will You and Soela.

Berlin’s Philipp Priebe’s presence in the musical sphere of raw, understated deep house and techno has continued to grow from strength to strength over the past five years. Through his melodious, often melancholic and intricately crafted productions on the likes of Freund Der Familie, Greyscale, Æ Recordings and of course his Stólar, Priebe has gained a reputation as one of Berlin’s finest purveyors of the deep. Here he marks the end of his milestone ‘Movements In An Empty Department Store’ album with the third and final remix package, following on from Rising Sun and Ben Kaczor interpretations.

First up this time is Molly who tackles ‘Drenched In Dust’, encapsulating her signature sonic aesthetic of groove-driven, subtly nuanced and mesmeric deep house music. Amsterdam’s Hame follows next to reshape Clouds Floating In A Haze Of Light, extracting the core cinematic feel of the original in collision with his own delicate touches and intricate, shuffled rhythmic touches.

Will You steps up next to remix title-cut ‘Movements In An Empty Department Store’, edging into deeper, dubbier realms via cascading atmospherics, spiralling dub echoes and lumpy low-end pulsations. Lastly Soela rounds out the release with her ‘Dream Remix’ of ‘Porcelain’, radiantly showcasing her unique production style via broken organic percussion, ethereal pad textures, hypnotic bell chimes and weighty elongated subs throughout.

Stólar label boss Philipp Priebe delivers his new album ‘Apparent Calm Palms’ this October, joining the roster of Mainz/Hamburg, Germany’s Feuilleton.

Berlin-based artist Philipp Priebe has been steadily making his mark on the contemporary deep hazy house and leftfield electronica scene over the past few years with a series of releases on his own Stólar imprint. Here though we see him deliver his second album following his debut LP ‘The Being Of The Beautiful’ released on Japan’s IL Y A Records back in 2014. Feuilleton is the brainchild of Chris Gruber (Fossar) and Tim Eder and since 2018 has unveiled material from the duo themselves, RR (René Raabe), Snad, Gari Romalis, Melina, Jakob Seidensticker and more.

Throughout the ‘Apparent Calm Palms’ LP Priebe delivers a concoction of styles and sounds cohesively fused together to form the bigger concept which is he tells us is ‘’an album about small towns and villages and the needs and desires that brings one night out in clubs. The transport/travel, the preparty, all the things that you had to do, when you are not directly living in the big party places, but still want to have a decent night out, away from your usual suspects.’’.

Throughout the ten-track LP Philipp delivers ethereal deep house with opening track ‘Desires’, the succeeding ‘Interborough’ and ‘Chimera’, murky dub house leaning cuts like ‘Quiet Decay’, ‘Slalom’, ‘Unfold’ and ‘Conclusions’ while ‘Transfiguration’ showcases a more classic Chicago House influence. Title-track ‘Apparent Calm Palms’ and the interlude ‘Behind Their House’ then see Priebe offer a foray into textural ambient sounds, once again showcasing his unique ability to craft raw, understated and emotion fuelled material across a variety of genres.

Osaka, Japan’s Metome joins the roster of Philipp Priebe’s Stólar imprint this March with his ‘Trail’ EP, backed by remixes from Tilman and Priebe himself.

Over the past two years Philipp Priebe’s Stólar imprint has been steadily gaining recognition as a purveyor of some of the finest contemporary deep house and left of centre electronica, the label has acted primarily as a platform for Priebe’s own ethereal and hypnotic output while welcoming remixes from the likes of Jacques Bon & Drux, Vilette, Johanna Knutsson, FDF and Japan’s Metome. The latter returns here to mark the first release of original material not from Philipp on Stólar, although the Osaka-based artist’s material fluidly melds into the catalogue through its deftly crafted, hypnotic style.

Up first is ‘Graftage’, laid out over six-minutes with looped bass stabs, airy textures and stripped percussion, perfectly setting the tone for the EP. Title-track ‘Trail’ follows and shift focus to shifting pads, bright piano tones and choppy distorted bass atop a crunchy, shuffled drum groove. ‘Indoor Ivy’ then completes the original material on the project, diving deeper via an amalgamation of sweeping atmospherics, metallic synth chimes, modulating bleeps and a low- slung rhythm.

Tilman’s ‘Seaside Mix’ of ‘Trail’ follows next, an in typical fashion from the German producer he reshapes the original with his own vintage house feel bringing swinging drums and rounded subs into the forefront while reworking the original’s keys and atmospherics with a more house focused feel. Philipp Priebe’s ‘A Darker Red Remix’ of ‘Graftage’ then completes the package, beautifully stripping things down to a cinematic, nuanced flow of pads, bells and shakers for the first half before the latter weaves in the original bass hook and a sturdy kick drum to ride out the rest of the rework with a more driving feel.

Philipp Priebe’s Stólar revisits some of this year’s select cuts on the label with remixes from Smallville/Mule Musiq artist Jacques Bon & Drux and Freund Der Familie bosses FDF, as well as two fresh originals from Priebe himself.

The past few years have seen Philipp Priebe cement his Stólar imprint’s sound as one of charm, sophistication and intricacy in the world of contemporary deep house, predominantly acting as a platform for his own material alongside remixes from some of his favourite acts. Here the story continues with this exact format, bringing in two new remixes for interpretations of recent material as well as two new originals.

Leading the release is the Jacques Bon & Drux Remix of ‘Sunset Memories’, the Paris based duo twist the original into a hazy, subtly nuanced six and a half minutes with tension building pads and resonant keys atop the originals robust bass hook and metallic percussion. FDF’s ‘Dub Reshape’ of ‘Another Insane Sky Tonight’ follows, as the name would suggest and tapping into the pairs signature style, we’re treated to swaying sub bass tones, cavernous reverberations and spiralling echoes in true dub fashion.

The original mix of ‘Sunset Memories’ is up next, laying down hypnotic keys, airy atmospheric swells and choppy bass throughout before ‘Zero Four Zero Eight’ rounds out the release with eerie bell chimes, ethereal resonant swells and bumpy drums.
