PREMIERE: Hame - Hushed [Small Steps]

Amsterdam-based Hame inaugurates the Lola Haro helmed Small Steps imprint this October with the three-track 'Compathy' EP.

Hame's music is all about shared feelings without the barrier of words. In this debut EP, he finds the sweet spot between raw house and ethereal emotion. This release will mark the beginning of the label aspect of a new concept being launched by Antwerp-based Lola Haro, a resident of the Paradise City festival. Small Steps will operate as a record label and events series aimed to deliver a dreamy atmosphere that awakens your senses. All events will feature the concept's signature light installation by Orson Van Beek and invite DJs with a like-minded vision to play. The label will also retain this theme and will specifically highlight music with emotion and a dreamy, floaty feel.

Our premiere for today and the EP opener 'Hushed' is a textural-led house cut laid out across six and a half minutes with fluttering synth swells, airy pads, elongated sub-bass tones, and whispering vocals, all subtly nuanced and shifting atop a bumpy, shuffled drum groove.

The inaugural Small Steps release, 'Compathy' EP, is coming out on October 14.
