SINGLE PRE-SAVE | ALBUM PRE-SAVE
Parra for Cuva, the esteemed German electronic music producer, is set to release Pinie, the third single from his highly anticipated LP, Mimose. Featuring a collaboration with orbit, aka Marcel Heym, the track will be available on March 22nd, 2024. Inspired by an artistic retreat in Liguria, Italy, Pinie reflects the creative synergy between Parra for Cuva and orbit, resulting in an immersive and ethereal auditory journey.
Pinie fuses Parra for Cuva’s signature electronic style with orbit’s dreamy soundscapes, blending delicate chords, lush textures, and distorted vocals to create a mesmerizing, boundary-transcending experience. The track’s inspiration is rooted in the deep connection between the two artists, formed during Parra for Cuva’s time in the tranquil coastal region of Italy. Parra for Cuva described the retreat as a significant moment in their collaboration, sharing, “Marcel came to Italy as a collaborator and left as a very good friend.”
The upcoming LP Mimose draws its name from the delicate flower found in Italy and embodies the wanderlust that has defined Parra for Cuva’s music. Known for his blend of analog and digital production, Parra for Cuva incorporates a variety of instruments, from Caribbean steel drums to Zimbabwean percussion, across the album’s 12 tracks. Mimose promises to offer listeners a dreamy and evocative musical journey, further cementing Parra for Cuva‘s position as a leading figure in the electronic music scene.
orbit reflected on their time together, saying, “Nicolas and I crafted the song in a quaint garden shed on the coast of Italy. I remember swaying to the melodies all night, sharing laughter, cigarettes, and the company of my brother Patrick and our friend.”
Since his debut, Nicolas Janco, the artist behind Parra for Cuva, has crafted a distinctive soundscape that blends a wide array of global influences. His earlier albums like Majouré (2014), Darwîś (2016), Paspatou (2018), and Juno (2021) have garnered critical acclaim, further showcasing his talent for weaving melancholic, warm analog sounds. Juno, in particular, expanded his international appeal with collaborations from musicians around the globe, pushing Berlin’s electronic music scene beyond its techno roots.
Parra for Cuva’s live performances are equally enchanting, carefully designed to match the otherworldly quality of his music. He has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals, including Burning Man, Sziget, and Fusion, and has graced global stages such as Koko London, Concourse Project in Austin, and a memorable Cercle set filmed in Cañon del Sumidero, Mexico. His music has also found a place in mainstream media, with tracks synced in The Umbrella Academy and commercials for Hyundai and Hugo Boss, the latter featuring actor Chris Hemsworth.
As Parra for Cuva continues to captivate global audiences with his distinctive sound, Pinie and the forthcoming LP Mimose mark another chapter in his evolution as a luminary of electronic music.
