Biografia
Gorje Hewek makes melodic electronic music with close attention to atmosphere, surroundings and the visual life of a record. The Russian-born, Germany-based producer and DJ developed a strong connection with Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream, both through releases and events, alongside his long-running work with Izhevski.
His own Shanti Radio grew into a home for carefully chosen music, while Peace Symphonies opened another space for a more communal sound. Artists including Amonita, Volen Sentir, Lost Desert and Hermanez form part of that label world, with artwork treated as an important companion to the music.
The album Collages gathers impressions from different periods of his life. Its opening piece developed after a move closer to woodland, using ouds, flutes and strings to connect a studio composition with the environment outside. It is one personal example of the sensitivity to place that runs through his work as a producer and curator.
