Atelier drops “Friday,” the first musical tease from their upcoming second full-length studio album, “Lights Towards The Exit,” scheduled for release on May 31, 2024, through Lossless.
Switching seaside ambience for a sound, shaped by inner-city living and the new surroundings in the duo’s adoptive city Berlin, this is an ode to first-time experiences, new languages, challenges, club culture and the shift from youth to maturity, as well as a balm to those stuck somewhere in between. Atelier’s previous releases gained big support by the likes of the Keinemusik and Innervisions Crews and their debut LP’s lead single ‘Can I Speak’ garnered more than 1.2 million streams (and counting).
Heralding from Cape Town, South Africa, and now based in Berlin, Electronic duo Atelier excel at riding chillwave to a cooler, moodier sound. Atelier was conceptualized by childhood friends Alexander Inggs and Jaś Miszewski whose love of analog synths, drum machines and effects pedals is revealed in a hardware-heavy live show. The project is a platform for combining their differing musical backgrounds – a blend of house, indie, folk and techno – and has an underlying maturity that emerges in their frank performances and honest productions.
In September 2018 they released their debut EP, ‘Something To Fill An Hour’, through the Berlin-based imprint LOSSLESS owned by Mathias Schober and Thomas Herb. Their first album, ‘Varsam Court’, was issued by Muting the Noise, owned by electronic heavyweights Dixon and Âme of Innervisions.
