"VIMES REPRISE & REMIXES #2

“Why stop now?” is what we thought after finishing “Rudal (Reprise)” a while ago. So of course, we did another one. This time “Hopeful”, one of our probably most introspective and stripped down songs from our debut “Nights In Limbo”.
We were able to get Panthera Krause as well as Man Power / Me Me Me to remix the track and the result is “Hopeful (Reprise & Remixes), which will be released by Needwant on the 7th of April.

"VIMES REPRISE & REMIXES #1

A while ago, we sort of introduced this tradition of revisiting certain VIMES tracks and exploring a somewhat different approach. Thus, this is how the “Reprise” versions came into existence. 
Following this tradition, we recently reworked the track “Rudal” off our debut album “Nights in Limbo” and the result is now being released by our friends from Needwant, including an incredible remix by Neil Flynn.

We hope you like it as well, so check it out on your favourite platform of choice.

"nights in limbo" is out!

A huge thank you to Jochen Naaf, Johannes Klingebiel, Franziska Stetter, my father, our wonderful team at Humming Records, everyone else we've ever worked with in the last years and of course YOU! Everybody who ever showed up at a show, talked with us, wrote us and encouraged us to continue. We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you at our upcoming dates.

We've been quiet for so long, but there was this one promise we had yet to deliver and were fanatically working on:

We are really happy to announce our debut album “Nights In Limbo” today. It will be out February 12th, 2016 via Humming Records / Rough Trade Distribution and we are excited to rediscover our music soon in different places of the world.

Until then, here’s a brand new track for you, it’s called “Kyra”:

LISTEN TO OUR NEW SONG "ENTIAL"

07.12.2014

We're back with a new song called "Ential". We hope you like it as much as we do and want you to be part of this new era as well. For us, "Ential" simply sounds like VIMES, without being necessarily connected to a genre or a particular sound.

the guardian et all recommend 'Upstairs'

22.10.2012

The Guardian and other bloggers in the Music Alliance Pact (MAP) chose their favourite tracks from around the world and we're happy to represent Germany with 'UpStairs':

"It's getting cold really fast these days so let's turn to some music which may give us comfort. Cologne newcomers VIMES is a duo with a penchant for vibrant electronic music. The voice of Azhar Syed gives the electronics of Julian Stetter a melancholic and yearning touch, thereby making VIMES recognisable. Live they are accompanied by VJ Till Beutling for a complete audiovisual experience. They are currently recording their debut album."

You can watch the video on YOUTUBE and listen to the song (and even download it for free) on SOUNDCLOUD.

DEBUT SINGLE "UpSTAIRS" & VIDEO

It's happening! We will be releasing our very first single "UpStairs" on November 2nd via Humming Records/Rough Trade. The song was produced by Georg Conrad of COMA and co-produced by the great Jochen Naaf (Polarkreis 18) who also mixed the song.

You can watch the video on YOUTUBE and listen to the song (and even download it for free) on SOUNDCLOUD.

Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates!

BACK FROM MEXICO!

We are back from Mexico! An unbelievable experience. We spent a few days in Mexico City, met many interesting people and saw only a fraction of an exciting country. We played some great shows in Cholula and in Guadalajara (by the way, Hot Chip were GREAT!). We shot a lot of footage and are planning to edit it all into something hopefully interesting soon. In the meantime, you can head over to the Images section and check out a few pictures shot in Mexico.

VIMES are heading to MEXICO!

Great news! We will be playing with Hot Chip in Puebla (20th Sept @ Piramide de Cholula) and Guadalajara (21st Sept @ Foro Alterno).

We are really looking forward to our first gigs outside Europe, As they say: ¡Qué suerte!

THE NEXT BIG THING @ DEUTSCHE WELLE

We were invited to appear on a radio show called PULSE  at DEUTSCHE WELLE. We really had a great time talking about our influences, how we started making music together and the way we fit into the famous "Sound of Cologne".

You can listen to the show right here.

VIMES & GUARDIAN.CO:UK

The Guardian recently covered the current German music scene in a quite neat article called "German music now: from Berghain to Mannheim" and we were extraordinarily delighted to read our name in the midst of many great artists from Germany. 

NEW SONG & VIDEO

Hello friends, we recently reinterpreted one of our favourite songs ever, a classic named "Take My Breath Away" of the band BERLIN. You can listen to our take on the song and watch the video on YOUTUBE or VIMEO.

We hope you'll like it!

Ps: Head over to the "Images" section and check out our new photos by Volker Conradus.

everything is just Borrowed

Do artists nowadays really need home pages? After all, there are quite a few options out there to connect and to share. Maybe even only one significant site. However, as Mike Skinner aka. The Streets once said:

I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love
everything else is just borrowed

Even if we use them, we still think this applies rather well to every single Social Media Network. After all, everything is just borrowed.
