Cold Blue launches Cold Blue Records with ‘Redemption’

The exact relationship between Cold Blue’s name and Tobias Schuh’s affection for chillier titles & imagery (none more evident than on ‘Winter’ – his 2019 debut artist album) is still tbc. This is a time of year however that clearly appeals to both Tobias’s outward-bound sensibilities and creative drive.
In keeping, Cold Blue kicks 2023 off with a new floor-entrancing production, the catalogue number of which (CBR001) may lend a significant clue to the label it’s arriving on. Today, with ‘Redemption’, Tobias opens the doors of Cold Blue Records with a track set to delivers shivers of the singularly uplifting variety!
Of the move, Tobias says, “a record label bearing the Cold Blue name has been a dream of mine for many years. It would allow me to expand artistically and carry not only my own music direct to fans, but also that of other artists, whose studio work speaks to me. Therefore, I’m thrilled to announce that with ‘Redemption,my first single of 2023,’, this has come to fruition. I’m greatly looking forward to all the possibilities that will come along with it, and in bringing Cold Blue Records’ music to your floors and doors!”
Behind ‘Redemption’s sombre winter-scape exterior lies a track with peak time on its mind and the tempo, tone and trajectory to send it there!

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
