Berlin’s Radikon head honcho Jonas Saalbach returns to the label’s spotlight with an all-new six-track mini album ‘Acceleration’. The album represents nothing less than his state-of-the-art production, offering a unique insight into the artist’s mindset. The entirety of the album draws inspiration from Saalbach’s strategies for coping with the ever-growing pressures that come from keeping up with today’s technological revolutions.
In 2018, Saalbach co-founded Radikon, an electronic music label created as a platform for like-minded artists. Over the past decade, he has performed on hundreds of stages across five continents, including prestigious events such as Burning Man, Fusion Festival, and Zamna. His music has also captivated audiences on unique live streams, performing for world-renowned platforms like Cercle against the breathtaking backdrop of a Norwegian fjord, and TIME:CODE with a live set in the stunning Krka National Park in Croatia.
To celebrate the launch of the album he has recorded a special live stream that sees Jonas perform in front of the breath-taking backdrop of Sesimbra, Portugal.
Embark on a melodic journey with Saalbach’s latest work, where the fluidity of the six tracks encourages introspection amidst changing times. The lead track, “Exo,” launches the album with a raw analog style refined over his production career. RVLF joins him on the track, their yearning vocals soaring above a harmony of extended basslines, dramatic synth patterns, and a hypnotic kick beat.
As a producer, Saalbach demonstrates remarkable creativity, using a hardware-based approach to breathe new life into unique and distinctive sounds. He crafts timeless dancefloor anthems filled with emotion and percussive energy. This latest album is no exception; through his music, he confronts philosophical questions that resonate with everyone. It emphasizes the importance of openly sharing feelings of uncertainty, fostering a sense of connection in the age of ‘Acceleration.’
