Illusion of Knowledge by Geplantes Nichtstun

Having made a name for himself with a constant output of unique releases, Bernese artist Geplantes Nichtstun debuts on Heimlich with his „Illusion of Knowledge“ EP. Like a lonesome rider in the desert, the opening track „Schub“ combines dusty guitar sounds and detuned arpeggios, with subtle vocal snippets and organic percussions adding a touch of saloon atmosphere. „Spagat“ is an aptly titled balancing act between playful lead sounds and wind players adding an extra
layer to the arrangement. Led by the extraordinary vocals of Christine, building upon a foundation of powerful but clear drum sounds and a predominant bassline „Remember Me“ is an energetic banger. Berlin-based Santi & Tugce transform „Schub“ into an emotional hymn by adding drum recordings as well as an arpeggio line as the center of attention, putting the original‘s guitar samples to creative use. Up-and-coming Überhaupt & Außerdem keep up the vibe of the original in their
interpretation of „Schub“ while replacing the bassline to add some
extra power. „The Illusion of Knowledge“ is a diverse EP, leaving you with the subtle and strangely satisfying feeling that you might have heard everything there is you need to know for now.
