OUT NOW

‘The Garden Suite’ by Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor

Nitai & Daniel tunnel into and explore a mystifying, experimental, Moog-based sound with The Garden Suite, their second full collaboration after Dor’s Four Petals. Taking cues from synth pioneer Malcolm Cecil, the duo created their Suite with patience and curiosity — pushing the boundaries of sound, mapping melodies onto rhythmic patterns. “Sitting late at night, going deep on the keys felt like a ceremony,” says Hershkovits.

For this unique release, we're happy to announce a debut collaboration between Raw Tapes and Circus Company to press a limited-edition vinyl, now available for pre-order.

‘Not only me’ by Tipula is OUT NOW

The second single from Tipula’s upcoming LP, Greening, sounds like an updated jazz standard. “It’s a break-up song, offering out to the world something that gave me so much joy” says singer Dana Dunietz. See it as a winking invitation to release, exhale and unite.

‘Waltz of the Clocks’ by Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor is OUT NOW

For the second single from their forthcoming album, The Garden Suite, Nitai and Daniel present a choreographed interplay of musical clocks, where melodies emerge as they beat in and out of sync. The result is a glimpse into the innovative, almost alchemical process that defines The Garden Suite.

Full album drops November 13th. Vinyl available December 13th ~ debut collaboration of Raw Tapes x Circus Company.

‘Hidden Glow' by Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor is OUT

Nitai & Daniel grew this first single out of their upcoming album, from a feeling. “It’s an orange-yellow summer sensation,” says Hershkovits. “You’re there, outside in the garden.” The duo composed the track with layered Moog synthesizers; two minutes of airy synth tones fluttering and twirling. The tune challenges jazz’s aversion to bright major key sounds. “We’re luring people through the heart,” he says. “Nothing to be shy about.”

MEET: Tipula

If you were a fly on the wall of Eldar Brantman’s Tel Aviv apartment, you’d see the pianist/producer and his bandmate, singer/songwriter Dana Dunietz, laughing, writing and exploring their smoothed-out, jazz-influenced jams. That’s the idea behind Tipula. The duo is named after the large, wall-dwelling insects that watched the mellow, smoke-wafting hangs that gave birth to their Raw Tapes debut, 'Greening'. Tipula is the sound of ease and connection; music to fill up a room of friends with joy.

First single drops next Wednesday 🌳

Announcing: A new collaboration between Producer/keyboardist Nitai Hershkovits and Drummer/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Dor.

Nitai has been releasing music on Raw Tapes for a while now - between his debut ‘I Asked You A Question’ LP from 2016 and today, he’s played on at least half a dozen projects and guest appearances including the all-time gem ‘Flyin’ Bamboo’. Nitai has also been releasing music on ECM, so needless to say he's been busy. Topping this with another immense talent - Daniel Dor; who joined us last year with his timeless (yet timeful) creation ‘Four Petals’ LP. An art piece in the full sense - an album dedicated to percussion mandalas, which he calls The Flower: polyrhythmic, multi-part patterns that fall into sync and out of sync — sacred geometry reimagined as music. The album was produced by Nitai and marked the beginning of this collaboration - now unfolding in their new forthcoming album titled ‘The Garden Suite’. First single drops next week ~ stay tuned.

“Obsidian (Selected Dance Scores)” by Daskal is OUT

Daskal compiled his best work into one gorgeous, meditative ambient album – giving new life to compositions originally written to score performances by the Los Angeles Dance Project, Royal Danish Ballet, Batsheva Dance Company, and more. “As an album, the music tells a new story,” says Daskal. “A story of my own inner world.”

'Hsin-Yi' by Daskal is OUT

The second single from his upcoming album “Obsidian (Selected Dance Scores),” was originally composed for a dance performance choreographed by Omri Drumlevich. Yonatan Daskal was so rapt by Taiwanese dancer Hsin-Yi Hsiang that he named his piece after her. 'Hsin-Yi' moves like its human muse: beautifully, otherworldly.

Maya Dunietz - Dear Major (Official Video)

We’re thrilled to announce the 2nd LP by Maya Dunietz “Thank You Tree” will be released this August! 🌴AND doubling the thrill with the 1st single “Dear Major” OUT NOW with this sensitive, heart-centered, newly born animation by Ada Rimon 🫀 A duet in D Major for Bass and Piano. Maya invites us into a stripped down duet stroll together with double bassist Barak Mori. The bass plays a constant bassum continuum of a rhythmic, descending major D scale - and the piano melody playfully highlights different aspects of the continuum. The track has an unusual ending; drums appear out of their cave to solo on top, and then, as suddenly as it arrived, it’s all over. Visual created by Ada Rimon, additional animation by Ofeq Shemer.
