#89 Feat. Staff Picks in Electronica

With All The Time, Broj return to the forefront of emotive electronic music, presenting a deeply personal exploration of how we experience time. After a period of quiet reflection since their 2022 release Brothers, the Amsterdam-based duo channel their creative energy into three distinct compositions, each weaving intricate rhythms with heartfelt storytelling. Released on Berlins Nie Wieder Schlafen, this EP offers a sound that feels both timeless and strikingly contemporary. Opening the journey, Still introduces a rich palette of organic textures, layered field recordings, and emotive melodies. The track unfolds with cinematic grace, balancing tension and release, while evoking the desire to hold onto fleeting moments of calm in a fast-moving world. Every detail resonates with intention, inviting listeners to slow down and immerse themselves. The title track, All The Time, marks a defining evolution for Broj. For the first time, they step behind the microphone, using their own voices as an instrument of vulnerability and strength. Built on lo-fi grooves and psychedelic undertones, the song transforms a sense of urgency into a mantra of acceptance, reminding us that our relationship with time is one we can shape. With an unconventional structure and bold sonic choices, it stands as one of the duos most personal and adventurous productions to date. Moment shifts towards a heavier, club-ready energy. Fueled by gritty breakbeat rhythms and dense synth layers, it captures the restless spirit of city life. A powerful spoken word performance by London poet James Messiah cuts through the haze, delivering a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of experience. Rising and falling with orchestral intensity, the track leaves the listener in a space where the beauty and melancholy of the present moment coexist. With All The Time, Broj invite us to pause, reflect, and embrace the now — reminding us that within lifes relentless pace, there is always room to find stillness and meaning.
