Reframed is Vitess' third album, released on his own label Retro Futura, and marks a new turning point in his artistic journey. Unlike his previous albums - the first fully exploring the Retro aesthetic, the second embodying the Futura - Reframed brings these two worlds together within a single, coherent yet eclectic body of work. The album opens with sounds inspired by 90s progressive music and gradually moves toward more futuristic textures. This album format gives Vitess complete freedom: the freedom to build a full, living musical experience, introducing for the first time a strong instrumental dimension - most notably through the use of live drums - and allowing each track to interact with others, transform, or mirror one another, while maintaining a clear narrative thread that guides the listener throughout. The title Reframed directly reflects this approach. The album is built around tracks conceived as Recto / Verso, offering a form of double listening experience. On the one hand, electronic, club-oriented and progressive versions, designed for energy and dancefloor movement; on the other hand, more introspective, pop and instrumental counterparts, created for listening and storytelling. Starting from the same musical foundation - a vocal sample, a percussion element, or a melody - Vitess develops two distinct interpretations of the same track, generating contrasting yet deeply connected sonic worlds. This method, central to his creative process, highlights his ability to explore a single detail in depth and let a micro-element lead him toward radically different sonic dimensions, while ensuring coherence and a strong identity across the album. For Reframed, Vitess also collaborates for the first time with other artists: Stupid Flash, ATOEM, and Lucile, selected for their ability to enrich his universe and push it toward new aesthetics. These collaborations recreate a sense of collective energy reminiscent of his early days playing in bands, while remaining true to the essence of the Vitess project: a primarily solitary approach rooted in exploration, experimentation, and embracing the unexpected paths each idea can take.

Forward Music

The measured rhythm moves like the breath of a slumbering desert The rustling timbres of percussion trace the line of the horizon. A distant, overtonal call melts into the haze of string passages. A low-frequency layer of sound lays bare ancient, geological strata. The atmosphere here possesses its own boundless chronometry.

After a run of warmly received singles, Note presents the thing with feathers, his forthcoming EP via The North Quarter, the boutique label curated by Lenzman. Preceded by Multitudes, Floating (with MNQ) and Sunday Rains (with Meme Gold), each single showed Note in his strongest form yet, blending contemporary production with heartfelt emotion and translating his jazz influences into forward-thinking Drum & Bass. In its complete form, the thing with feathers takes this concept significantly further. Experienced as a full body of work, the EP reveals a cohesive and immersive journey where genre and tempo fall into the background. Jazz harmony, fluid rhythm and futuristic Drum & Bass aesthetics sit naturally alongside one another, allowing the music to be felt rather than categorised. These tracks now exist in the context they were always meant to be heard in. The project also marks a defining moment in Notes artistic evolution. Supported by the long-held belief of Lenzman and The North Quarter, he moves confidently into his own sonic territory, showcasing a refined production skillset and a sound that feels unmistakably his. What emerges is not a focus on BPMs or labels, but on identity, craft and emotional clarity. Written during a period of profound personal loss, the thing with feathers is Notes most intimate work to date. Created while coming to terms with the passing of his brother, the EP was not conceived as a record about grief, yet the emotional truth of that experience runs through the music. It is balanced by warmth, collaboration and quiet resilience. The project became his most collaborative work to date, shaped slowly and deliberately with close friends and trusted creative partners. That personal nature extends beyond the music itself. The EP artwork, created by Super Super, incorporates a selection of Notes own paintings, further grounding the release in his wider creative world and reinforcing the sense of honesty and reflection that defines the project. The title draws inspiration from Emily Dickinsons Hope is the Thing with Feathers and Max Porters Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, reflecting the duality at the heart of the record. As Note explains: This music is me untangling what it means to move through the world with a heart forever broken, yet still learning how to reconnect with joy in spite of it. With the thing with feathers, Note delivers a deeply personal and forward-thinking release that transcends genre and marks a clear new plateau in his artistic journey. This is my most personal work to date. I wrote this music while coming to terms with the loss of my brother. I didnt set out to make a record about grief, but its almost impossible to write honestly while going through something that immense, so this is what came out.

Wolfgang Haffner is one of Europe's most respected jazz drummers, known for his impeccable sense of timing, groove, and atmosphere. Though rooted in jazz, his musical language transcends genre boundaries, guided by pulse and subtle nuance rather than tradition alone. For Cocoon Recordings, he now enters an entirely new dialogue, offering warm, organic reinterpretations that honor the spirit of the source material while opening a fresh sonic horizon. The result is a meeting of two artistic worlds where Sven Väth's timeless energy and Haffner's refined touch flow naturally into a new musical form, an encounter between two artistic universes, merging into something both unexpected and deeply musical. Fusion is a groove driven piece built around a clear, flowing melody, allowing Haffner to reinterpret it acoustically through a jazz lens. Its straight, driving pulse lets him explore the track's rhythmic and melodic interplay with clarity and nuance. L'Esperanza, originally a dreamy, trance like track, envelops listeners in strings, filtered downbeats, and a playful synth melody, a perfect canvas for Haffner's warm, organic touch. Its ethereal layers and subtle tension allow him to explore the track's emotional depth while preserving its entrancing charm. Barbarella, emblematic of Sven Väth's early 90s vision, carries the energy and innovation of a club classic. Haffner's reinterpretation transforms it into a rich, acoustic exploration that honors its hypnotic essence. By emphasizing the track's iconic motifs and underlying drive, and by drawing out the track's essential elements, he bridges its electronic origins with a new, organic perspective. Together, these three reinterpretations form a cohesive journey that celebrates the timeless essence of Sven Väth's music while revealing a new dimension through Haffner's masterful touch, a release that invites listeners to experience familiar classics in a completely new light.
