Spotify playlistThe third instalment of our “Halotan Sounds” compilations shows the state of Polish dark electronic scene in the year 2024.
You can also listen to Halotan Sounds 2 (2015) and Halotan Sounds 1 (2010).
This edition is special because for this release we teamed up with Castle Party Festival. We – Halotan Recrods – handle electronic part of this release and Castle Party manufactured physical CD.
This way the compilation is available in places where festival's merch is. It is very fitting as Castle Party is the largest event of this type in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. As it takes place in a medieval castle (main stage is located in castle's courtyard), we can easily say it is the only of it's kind.
As our “Halotan Sounds” compilations tend to come out very infrequently, they can serve as a great to tell the condition of Polish scene across time.
Looks like the rumours of our scene's demise have once more been greatly exaggerated.
We have lots of fresh faces, new projects, new ideas. Old veterans hold the line, some projects that have been silent for a long time start to make music again.
And indeed, Bolkow Castle's courtyard is still as full of life and people as ever.
Halotan Sounds 3 is a very varied release.
There are analogue experimental sounds, there are references to oldschool classics, guitar-electronic hybrids and modern club-oriented dark electro.
We have something for everyone, so we encourage you to dive in and get a taste of polish dark independent electronic.
Please do listen, download and share.
