The album “Axen” marks the beginning of a new chapter for The Glitz as they embark on a journey beyond the world of electronic music. After a wide range of beautiful, inspiring, pro-voking and uplifting The Glitz-singles, we are now approaching the full album in all its might. The singles have shown us the diverse soundscapes you can find in Andreas and Daniel’s musical multiverse, with the genres ranging from the classic House and Techno genres, to also introducing their take on Trip Hop, Neo RnB, Hip Hop, Ballad and Electronica.

This journey into their musical realm has resonated with fans and colleagues alike the last months, putting the first single on position 1 in the German Club Charts for four weeks straight (it is still in the Beatport top100 after 7 months). The following singles have been heavily sup-ported by artists like Radio Slave, Sam Divine, Acid Pauli, Green Velvet and Maceo Plex to name a few, while also being played on radio stations world wide.

Born out of a desire to create a space to explore and expand their unique sound, their new album “Axen” is a bold extension of The Glitz’ vision and purpose. It has been a long time coming and is the result of four intense years in the studio together with the unique and talen-ted singer and songwriter Mulay. And now it is time to present the full album to the world.

“Axen” is the mesmerising product of one of their many jam sessions in the studio. It carries the unique The Glitz fingerprints all over it while also letting them shine in a new context. The slow flowing Hip Hop beat paired with Mulay’s raw vocals and incredibly poetical and perso-nal lyrics is a must hear for old and new The Glitz-fans alike.

Placed between some of the beautiful singles we have heard before, “Ergh” hits us with full force. The track takes us on a breaky, synth loaded trip. As an energetic and driving fresh breath of air, the track combines a frisky attitude with a tension building arrangement, sho-wing that while Andreas and Daniel embrace new genres and styles, they still have good ears for club oriented, heavier hits as well.

“Flummi” is put to work in a similar setting, but with a completely different world of sounds. Bright synths slowly build up, paralleled with the pulsating low end and guiding the listener towards an explosive breakdown. The track is followed by the wild and intoxicating “Rabbit Underground” that swoops you off your feet like a rocket launch. A skilfully crafted yet raw drum work with an exquisite snare creates a foundation for tantalising synths and captivating vocals that radiates with power. After this rollercoaster of a track, the wilderness is countered with the soft and playful “Mother”. The Glitz bring together various layers of soft synths and smooth percussions, creating a beautiful sphere where the captivating vocals by Mulay shine in a new way. Ending this incredible journey of sound exploration is the stunning ballad “Se-ven Rivers”. No noise, no distractions, just a beautifully stripped down ballad that carries an ocean of emotions. A perfect completion of “Axen”.

In their own way, each song carries the unique sound characteristics that Andreas and Daniel are so known and loved for, while giving them space to experiment and show themselves in new ways. The mix of emotionally charged, dance floor oriented and vibrant songs are bound to give the listeners an entrancing, unforgettable experience.
