Forward-thinking producers HAELIUM and Kasztan released their new collaborative single, ‘DOR’, on the 4th of November via Stemina Recordings. The single was premiered by CLASH Magazine. The record label, founded by Kasztan himself, makes its debut with the release of the collaboration. Kasztan has earned support from numerous tastemaker publications, including Magnetic Magazine, 6AM Group, MusicTech, and Decoded Magazine among others. The song brings to mind the likes of Braxton, Jon Hopkins, Moderat, Bonobo, and Ólafur Arnalds.

Pierre-Marie, also known as Kasztan, was born and raised in Nice, France where he and his brother launched their first post-rock band A Red Season Shade. Having released two successful albums, the pair caught the attention of fellow French musician Anthony Gonzalez from M83 who subsequently asked Pierre to play guitar and keyboard as part of the live band for the Saturdays = Youth tour. Pierre-Marie signed his debut album, under the STAL alias, with Arista/Sony Music. He has also written bespoke music for commercials, signed a soundtrack for The Illusionists documentary, and won an award for his contribution to an animated short film.

Born and based in France, HAELIUM  is a classically trained pianist with a background in jazz and classical music studies. He has opened for the likes of Tennyson as well as Shlohmo in Paris and cites the likes of Jon Hopkins, Ravel, Apparat, Bonobo as his influences, while taking inspiration from the sound direction of labels like Warp, Brainfeeder and Erased Tapes.
