“CALLOUS” by OIEE evokes a hypnotic dark pulse of artistic synergy
A collaboration that commenced with mutual respect has evolved into a captivating endeavor with OIEE’s new single, “CALLOUS.” This composition represents a masterclass in sonic defiance, wherein elements of house, tech house, and dark electronica converge in a compelling display of innovation with relentless energy. It signifies a significant advancement, illustrating the creative prowess of the talented Hungarian producer. From the initial pulse, the track captures attention, akin to a whisper that transforms into a roar delicate yet unyielding, sleek yet profoundly primal.
Born out of a serendipitous encounter at the Most Wanted: Music Conference in Berlin, “CALLOUS” embodies the energy of that creative moment. OIEE collaborates with Nomé to present a track that transcends a typical remix, positing that genres are merely suggestions and that boundaries exist to be transcended.
The production demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship, with each rhythmic beat striking firmly like a deliberate action. Eerie melodies weave through the mix, cultivating an almost hypnotic tension. OIEE’s distinctive method of sound layering is evident, producing an intricate and intense soundscape. The contribution of Nomé infuses a subtle unpredictability, rendering the track a dynamic entity that evolves with each listening experience.
What renders “CALLOUS” particularly unique is its capacity to transport listeners to a vibrant Berlin nightclub at 3 a.m. while simultaneously pushing the limits of creative imagination. It compels individuals to dance while provoking intellectual engagement, an infrequent combination within electronic music. Through “CALLOUS,” OIEE asserts his capability to challenge and redefine established norms within the genre. This composition exemplifies electronic music with a compelling intensity that captivates its audience. As OIEE continues to navigate new creative paths with his distinctive approach, this track generates anticipation regarding the trajectory of his future artistic endeavors.

Album Review
Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”
Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.
Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.
“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.
The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.
The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
