Bismuth Reliquary, a DJH moment

DJH is a Cologne-based musician who traverses the outer borders of experimental dance music, contemporary rap production and wide-screen melancholia. He’s released multiple scene-celebrated electronic projects as well as contributed production to an array of major label pop and rap releases, most recently Playboi Carti’s “Different Day” with his duo OUTOFAIR. He’s no stranger to the Moment family, as a collaborator of umru, sv1 and cutspace, and a hired gun on the ‘Riser Stars’ and ‘Deck Thrashers XR’ Moment packs. 

Now, with ‘Bismuth Reliquary’ he’s set out to conjure an “intangible feeling of timelessness” in a sample pack without relying on nostalgic tropes of AAA pop music production. Caught between past and future, the pack employs sounds from early 2000s VA synthesizers like the Alesis Ion and Nord Rack 2, crystallizing their distinct features into new shapes. “The desire to access the intangible fascinates me,” DJH tells us, “these tools made to emulate natural reactions of electrical current always fall short, but end up in a liminal world of untapped sonic possibility.”

Harvested from this world are a set of classic yet uncanny sounds and 40+ Serum presets that promise to stand the test of time.
