Multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Calcou shared a dreamy single titled ‘Time’ on June 14th, 2024 via MfRD+C. The track, which premiered on National Irish station RTÉ 2FM, offers a glimpse of his forthcoming album, Murmuration, slated for release on July 5th, 2024.The Berlin-based artist’s latest singles were picked by worldwide Spotify editorials for playlists like Fresh Finds, Late Night Vibes, metropolis or by Apple US for focus playlists like Today’s Chill. He has received support from numerous blogs and magazines such as CLASH Magazine, Stereofox, Son Of Marketing, House Music With Love, Majestic Casual and ElectroPosé to name a few. Calcou has worked with a wide range of well-known brands including Universal Music and BMW, who have just featured his latest release ‘Anthophyllite’ in a global ad campaign. Calcou finds inspiration in the works of Kiasmos, Bonobo, and Caribou while his latest release calls to mind the likes of Four Tet, Maribou State and George FitzGerald.

‘Time’ floats within the realm of electronica, drifting between serene, immersive atmospheres and pulsating four-on-the-floor energy. Its rich blend of deep bass, organic elements, delicate vocal snippets, and sparkling synths creates a sonic journey, oscillating between momentum and moments of introspective reflection.

Calcou shared: ‘Time’ is about how it feels to be constantly chased. By deadlines and appointments, but also by little things like constant availability. Sensory overload has become a kind of permanent state, with opportunities and answers everywhere. We wrote this text in collaboration with AI. Everything happens incredibly fast, AI doesn’t need a break. I asked myself what place humans will have in this system.”
