Album Notes

SUBHEIM is the deeply personal project of electronic music composer and visual artist Kostas K., a downtempo, experimental venture fusing IDM elements with rich ambiance and female vocals by Katja. Complex and uncompromising, Subheim’s debut album on Tympanik Audio is full of intricate rhythms, deep reverbs, and bitcrushed sounds, combined with pianos, cellos, and beautiful synthwork. Haunting melodies and distant voices meet complex beats and luring atmospheres to create a unique blend of dynamics and emotion. ‘Approach’ flirts with post-rock and atmospheric downtempo styles, while still maintaining an original sound that is both captivating and inspirational. Moved by subjects such as urban isolation and the outburst of mankind's deepest emotions, Subheim delivers the ideal soundtrack for those moments of chaos or melancholy reflections. ‘Approach’ is the highly-anticipated debut album from this talented Greek artist. Featuring remixes by Mobthrow (GR) and Flaque (GER).

PRESS REVIEWS:

"Subheim tastefully blends conventional and electronic music elements into a rich yet subtle sound that is built upon carefully layering a variety of simple parts." - Chain DLK

"...Subheim's compositions are extremely solid and effective, emotionally-charged pieces which, despite a synthetic execution feel extremely organic - an apt testimony of the artist's talent and skill." - Connexion Bizarre

Subheim's 'Approach' "...covers an area seeded with harsh landscapes derived from torrential undercurrents and post-industrial beatwork. "One Step Before The Exit" and "Stranded," are both drenched in darkened extraterrestrial soundscapes fuelled by elevated ambient propulsion and sharp, metallic beats; perfect." - Igloo Magazine
