Hatti Vatti
Piotr Kaliński is one of Polish underground's most vital figures. He is known for his analogue focused interpretations of an array of sounds, from ambient to footwork, as well as his Nanook of the North project alongside composer Stefan Wesołowski, featured on Boiler Room. He has toured extensively in from Japan and South Korea to Greenland and Iceland, where he performs frequently. His last record SZUM was released internationally on 24th March 2017 by MOST Records and Kudos Distribution, mastered by Dubplastes & Mastering.
Throughout SZUM, Hatti Vatti offers a typically bold, retro-futuristic exploration of Poland’s rich history of sound experimentation, one that simultaneously corresponds closely with contemporary issues and events in the country. Combining his own analogue workshop approach with a vast library of samples, the record is a succinct blend of hardware and reimagination.
