One interesting figure in Poland’s electronica scene is artist Hatti Vatti, known for his innovative use of sounds and styles in his productions. With his new intriguing album with R&S Records, a Belgian label with worldwide recognition, he has once again left us in awe. The album, titled ‘Zeit’, builds on his reputation as a creator of unique and experimental sounds.
Avoiding the constraints of traditional genre definitions, Hatti Vatti, whose real name is Piotr Kaliński, creates music with the kind of freedom often found in free form jazz. He explores a wide sphere of influences, including the prevailing ambience of the Japanese scene, UK-bass influences, krautrock, and jazz, to curate a collection that is nothing less than outstanding.
Other artists who have contributed to ‘Zeit’ include Rafał Dutkiewicz, Paweł Stachowiak and Piotr Chęcki, offering their skills on drums, bass and saxophone respectively. The result is an exceptional nine-track album that expertly fuses different styles and textures. It goes to show how the diversity achieved by these musicians, combined with Hatti Vatti‘s electronic expertise, creates a truly captivating listening experience.
Known for his divergence into different music styles, Hatti Vatti has pushed the boundaries of electronic music, crafting a multifaceted oeuvre that includes tight drum and bass bangers reminiscent of Aphex Twin and fascinating ambient explorations in R&B collaborations. His works reveal his restive spirit and unrelenting exploration of electronic music possibilities. In ‘Zeit’, listeners are taken on a sonic journey, blending fidgety, exploratory productions with opulent instrumentals.
With a band including saxophone and drums, he fleshes out his experimental sound, drawing from genres like synth krautrock, UK-bass, and jazz fusion. Comparisons can be made to the works of German electronic music pioneers like Cluster who have shifted the landscape of the genre with their revolutionary innovation.
Hatti Vatti’s ‘Zeit’ keeps enthralled his fans who appreciate his unique production style. The R&S Records label, that has a roster of groundbreaking artists including James Blake and Gabriels, adds another excellent release with ‘Zeit’. It compels the listener to anticipate what the Polish maestro will create next, keeping us on our toes in constant expectation of his next musical revelation.
