Immersing us with a pulsating drum pad crescendo, expanding into a luscious and dimensional synthscape, De Antiquis Et Novis opens alchemy with intrigue and movement.

Evolving into a vibrant and fierce melodic energy with spliced vocal add libs, the opus already feels euphoric and transcendental. With textured risers and celestial, laser like frequencies intertwines with the bold, EDM-hybrid beat, we are in awe of the composition.

We always appreciate the depth and intricate sonic landscape that De Antiquis Et Novis creates with, and love the fierce riser that takes us into a more euro-pop-dance segment of the piece.

There is a playful edge to the composition, and a more 8-bit energy envelopes us as the piece evolves, eventually returning it’s original form with the pounding synthscape, taking us full circle. The final reprise is climactic and has us reaching for the repeat button!

The artist cites Christopher von Deylen, Schiller, Blank & Jones, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream as some of his influences, although there is no doubt that De Antiquis Et Novis is creating a dimension of his own with his artistry.

Speaking on the release, De Antiquis Et Novis says, “I wanted to create a danceable summer track influences by techno and EDM music.” He adds with passion, “alchemy brings a lot of good electronic dance vibes to any house party!”

We have added alchemy to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the exquisite wider discography of De Antiquis Et Novis including Afterglow, Vallis Bouvard and Calm.

Earlier this year, we featured De Antiquis Et Novis’s luxurious single and album title track, Afterglow, today, we are really excited to experience the artist’s latest release, Calm.

The single opens with a meditative synth and the lyrics, “I don’t wanna run for another day, a million words left to say…” as the beat drops and we are immersed in the intricate and calming soundscape of De Antiquis Et Novis.

When discussing his influences, De Antiquis Et Novis’ references Christopher von Deylen, Schiller, Blank & Jones, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream, but it is clear that the artist is creating his own universe.

The vibrant synth work and bright guitars have us hypnotized, fused with the conceptual lyrics of the track inspiring us to find peace in the physical and spiritual realms.

Calm strips back for a moment to unveil light tabla and intricate guitar at one point, before the electronica immerses us once again on this transcendental journey.

Inspired by peace, we appreciate the intention of the song which is also the last singe from the visionary artist’s album Afterglow which is due for release this Summer.

“It is one of the rare songs where I incorporate acoustic and electric guitars to spice up the song but still keep faithful to the chill out mood my songs stand for”, says the artist, also known as Matthias Schorer.

“If calm is able to make you relax and chill out when listening to it, then it has achieved its intended goal,” concludes the composer from Munich.

Calm has been added our New Music Spotlight playlist and we can’t wait to hear the full record this Summer!
