Almost There

Fri, 16 Jun 2017 08:28:41 +0200

While having a conversation with Leisure, Damscray mentioned that he missed Leisure's old trip-hoppy style, and noted that he would like to hear another track like back in the days. Leisure went to work, and "Almost There" is the result. A slow and intense track with a light hearted ending. This one's for you D!

Can't get enough of Dunai's catchy russian funk? Be sure to grab a copy of this 12 track album!

Atomar Sense

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 22:16:55 +0100

This track would be a hip-hop classic if it wasn't so obviously from the future. It clearly demonstrates Dunai's ability to create an absolutely organic sound comprised from strictly digital elements.

Clever

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 22:13:18 +0100

Smooth and futuristic track with heavy funk basslines and a fantastic rhythm section.

Ascent

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 22:02:21 +0100

Ascent v3.33 can be considered a present from Dunai to himself for his 33th birthday. The track allows a long and amazingly detailed and creative intro to take you up to a summit filled with amazing drum work and fluid harmonies.

Star Tales (featuring Shangree)

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:52:29 +0100

A slow but uptempo dreamy track with heavy IDM elements, and a classical guitar synth touch. This one is a collaboration with Shangree.

Wizards Mask

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:46:09 +0100

This is a fucking amazing track. While amazingly modern in sound and quality, the composition feels like something that could have been played by a very exclusive band in the middle ages. Be prepared to freak out.

Atomar Sense remix

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:40:06 +0100

When he first heard Atomar Sense, he was immediately struck by the enormous coolness of the melody lines and orchestration. There was basically no way around doing this remix, which features raps by the man himself, and a future funk solo by Michael Paketov.

Clever remix

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:26:16 +0100

Julian completely flipped the vibe of the original Clever, niftily reworking her so that it's future funk elements are absorbed into a cinematic and soothing track, perfect for supporting philosophical sunday afternoon contemplation.

Dunai - Illdot0

Wed, 18 Jan 2017 22:53:46 +0100

Moscow based producer Alexei Kalinkin debuts on Humanworkshop with a seven track EP featuring remixes by Leisure-B and Julian Winter.

Rubato

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 20:51:00 +0100

A lovely track by Oskilator completely free! Not something we have grown accustom to from the lads. No big twisted bass lines with punchy drums. Rather lazy guitar with glitchy yet jazzy drums. And with a special surprise instrument...

Audeka - Lost Souls

Sun, 25 Sep 2016 18:34:39 +0200

Audeka keeps pushing the boundaries of sound design and music with their new release; Lost Souls.

Metamorph

Fri, 27 May 2016 23:02:27 +0200

Six Humanworkhsop artists create seven remixes covering an enormous musical spectrum, ranging from sound-scape indy to dancehall dubstep.

Fire to the Stars - Made Of Fire remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:59:44 +0200

Slow downbeat track with reminiscent guitars and vocals by Cat Tyson Hughes. This track is a remix of Fire to the Stars� remix of Monlog�s Another day.

Julian Winter - LA remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:57:08 +0200

Dark and dreamy like a winters day in front of an enormous fireplace in a deserted castle. Cat Tyson Hughes comes on strong with a new vocal part, accompanied by an actual cello quartet arranged by Tim Spelman. This track is a remix of Julian Winter�s LA.

Fire to the Stars - Starting With M remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:55:31 +0200

Vibed completely different, the Monolog boys tried to give a futuristic, poppy twist to the somewhat introspective original of Fire to the Stars� Starting With M.

Julian Winter - Dour remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:53:13 +0200

Leisure dug deep into the multitracks of Julian Winter�s Dour to look for some hidden booty. What came out was a dub�ish, deep bassed, synthed up version of the original, with a strong emphasis on it�s splendid guitar solo.

Monolog - Beautifull remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:50:59 +0200

Nasty as always, Gritt completely rips it with this crazy, out of the box dancehall compatible version of Monolog�s epic track Beatifull. Big basses combined with a strong and up front use of the original vocals, patched in nicely between a tight set of drums make this track a lust for the senses.

Remus - Herr Obersturmbahnf�hrer remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:47:47 +0200

Leisure takes it way over the top with this extremely nasty drum and bass remix of Remus� classical track Herr Obersturmbahnf�hrer, which is part of the VERZET original soundtrack. This remix features exclusive dialog from the movie.

Fire to the Stars - Keep You Safe remix

Fri, 27 May 2016 22:45:15 +0200

Caveone takes a very personal and heavy bassed approach to Fire to the Stars Keep You Safe, allowing the recorded lyrics by Cat Tyson Hughes to come across a lot more up front. Slow and dreamy yet intense, this track finishes off nicely what Julian has started.

Caveone - Upgraded

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:45:38 +0100

Canadian electronic music artist Caveone debutes on Humanworkshop with the brand spankin� new five track EP Upgraded.

That Smile Says It All

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:38:11 +0100

Dark housey track accompanied by a string quartet and and a deep neuro bass.

The Next Step

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:36:00 +0100

Minimalistic dark and immersive track with a medieval aftertaste.

On The Shore Of Uncertainty

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:34:12 +0100

Slow dreamy track with an seemingly endless amount of neuro bass waves hitting a slow percussive shore.

Sunday Jam

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:32:12 +0100

Dark rocksteady track which brings the noise in a humane and persuasive way.

Upgraded

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:20:06 +0100

The dark yet hopeful atmospheres created in Caveone�s tracks always consist of a combination of real and synthetic sounds. Drawing influences from neurohop, western classical music and progressive rock, his sound can be described as independent and unique.

This first Album is a combination of an orchestral set up combined with a heavy drum kit and finished off nicely with neuro inspired basses and lead synths. It should be regarded as a conceptual step towards his goal of having the basis of the classical elements of his compositions performed by an actual band of trained musicians.

Upgraded gives you the strange feeling of looking back as well as in the future at the same time. With it�s dramatic lightness it�s comfortable to the ear while at the same time striking a clearly nostalgic note.

Sun, 08 Nov 2015 12:33:59 +0100

Trigg is back and this time he brought Gusset. Together these gentlemen have written and produced an amazing and mature second album filled with the best dutch jazz has to offer.

Adagio For The Blue

Sun, 08 Nov 2015 11:55:19 +0100

After a short European tour Trigg and Gusset decided to create a successor to �Legacy of the Witty�, entitled �Adagio for the Blue�.

Monolog - Rockstar Heaven EP

Sun, 10 Aug 2014 18:28:02 +0200

After a year of intensive studio sessions, Monolog's "Rockstar Heaven" EP is now going to hit the shelves!

Rockstar Heaven

Sun, 10 Aug 2014 17:15:44 +0200

Rockstar Heaven is the debut EP of Monolog a band/collaboration between Leisure-B and the Lookman bros Bas and Ramon. Coming from their hometown in the Netherlands Bussum, the three go way back and it was meant to be that at one time they would join their musical forces.

Working with Uwe in Germany, Leisure-B and he came up with the title track "Rockstar Heaven", on which the brothers worked on for a number of days, before coming up with added value and taking it to the next level. As the different styles of Leisure and the brothers began to merge in the same direction, the rest of the songs started to pop-up instantly. The songs on the EP have different subjects and switch between personal life encounters to big subjects in history, but still actual today.

As the three are all advocating a merge between styles and are able to jump from the one to the other, the album is a musical piece that seems to feature different acts, however the EP breaths its own overall unique Monolog sound which ranges from experimental pop and rock to trip hop and breakbeat.

Frequent Tail Chaser EP out now!

Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:08:35 +0100
We are proud to present to you all; Frequent's Tail Chaser EP. A very warm and immersive EP.

Tail Chaser

Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:04:02 +0100
The Tail Chaser EP is the latest sonic expedition from the mad mind of Frequent, who's unique sound design and consistently mind-blowing musical architecture have netted him releases on Adapted Records, Ammunition Recordings and now on Humanworkshop with this inspiring trio of material.
Tail Chaser marks a decided departure from his typically aggressive reese-centric sound, taking a new atmospheric direction and highlighting twisted foley percussion and diverse melodic soundscapes. Make no mistake, pushing the envelope is nothing new for Frequent, and whenever possible he supports other aspiring producers in their goals to do the same. Frequent recently founded Upscale Recordings with good friend and collaborator Evoke and the Adapted Records team, supporting some of the most genre-defying music in the industry.

VERZET OST

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:44:58 +0200
Remus' brilliant soundtrack for the first enjoyable Dutch movie EVER!!! A smooth combination of traditional classical music and eastern influences, fitting the screenplay like a glove.

The 5th Season

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:16:51 +0100
Warm, calm, mysterious yet accessible: those are but a few terms that apply to the sound of The 5th Season. Flamenco guitar morphed with off-beat electronica and wide orchestral sweeps, this album is both traditional and futuristic.

Live In Space

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:49:33 +0100
Since most people don't just like a certain song, but rather a particular version or cover of a composition, this leaves a wide gap for composers and producers of electronic music. With the Live In Space set up, Leisure tried to create a live environment in which new music can easily be imported and performed intuitively, while at the same time being able to create high quality recordings of the material on the fly. By cutting up the final version of the set in single tracks again, a wide arrange of versions can be created, depending on the mood of the controller and cooperation of other musicians during recording of each new performance.

Besides material from Leisure's solo project, the album also contains tracks from collaborations done over the years, including more recent projects like Polysure and Indikings, but also oldies by the likes B-Film, known from the NODE08 set.

Slow Movement

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:51:54 +0200
Julian's slow an cinematic debut EP eases the senses while taking you back to a time when things were easier and the world was a cozy and loving place.

The EP contains a lot of laid back tunes with minimal drumming, accompanied by a wide range of enviromental foley sounds, which even further give the impression of travelling through the memories of things that once were.

Alltogether a great EP for either listening or for use under video productions.

Bart Knol, a.k.a Gritt also works under the Trigg moniker. A totally different style and feel.
