HEAP ARCHIVES

5918mins.

Mike Burns needs little introduction. From A to Z, from big stars to hermit diggers, from East to West, everyone follows what Don Papa digs. Mike's sound is varied, but stays very true to itself. For 5918 mins., he delivers a June special with lots of that good Digi Dub - perfect for Sekt auf Eis, Campari Soda or big fat long island ice teas in the sun. Ai Papi!

We are kicking off the series after a short summer break with someone who we hold very dearly. We have always seen Basso as an ominous idol, someone whose Discogs -Ratings we used as a firm guidance when discovering new records on Germany’s flea markets. His very own Growing Bin is arguably one of the most consistently excellent vinyl-shops, Youtube-Channels and record-labels out there. 

Now about a year ago, the role-model became a friend, with who we share a subtle sense of humour and a refined taste for the perfectly placed “cheesy-yet-amazing”. This sentiment was somewhat reflected in a mix we did for Basso back then, and he brings it to perfection in this contribution to 5918mins. In his own words, he often used to work place-specific as an artist and tried to do this mix specifically for us, while staying true to himself. So what is the truth of Basso himself? Maybe it is just that he’s a bin – albeit a growing one. And what could be better than that?

Igor Piperčić aka Iggy P from Amsterdam has been on our radar for quite a while now. He is behind the outstanding Youtube-Channel going by the name of "Up Down" and appears regularly on Red Light Radio. We were immediately hooked on his un-pretentious yet always killer selections. Here's what Iggy has to say about this mix: 

"No soulseek no dogshit. A mix only with music from my personal vinyl and cd collection. 2 hours of dusty dutch 7 inches, oddball boogie, synth pop, post-punk, indo psych, korean downtempo, brazilian ebm, dub, reggae, and what not. Enjoy, dance, laugh, cry, whatever."

Lean back and dig in.

You never know whether Phoebé aka RAMZi from Montreal currently finds herself in human- or bird shape. As she shifts appearance, her sounds create a window into a deep and hidden world, crowded with all sorts of creatures and animals - fantastical but real and all originated in Phoebe's mind. 

RAMZi has nowadays certainly carved out her ecological niche, with several fantastic releases, including one in what almost seems her swampy Scottish parallel-universe - 12th isle, as well as her own imprint FATi Recordings or the ever fantastic 1080p. 

For this mix, RAMZi comes back with her BIGBIRD alias after some time away and she leads us through the last summer rays, as we slowly but surely descend into the rainy season.

The consistency and relentlessness with which Florian Stöffelbauer is managing to produce high-quality output in all sorts of different domains and modalities is almost unbelievable. 

For one, he is co-founder of the outrageous “Neubau” imprint which has been releasing consistently forward-thinking music since as early as 2015. He also co-runs the fantastic YouTube channel “Basic Rhythm”, which makes him (at least partly) responsible for the recent wave of Stefan Egger resurrections. Flo also ran a party of the same name (most of which happen in Vienna but with one “away-game” in London) and he was furthermore behind the retailer “Discus Throwers”, selling tapes and vinyl from his home-base in Vienna. Last but not least, he is a killer D.J. going by the name of “Heap”, an alias under which he has recently done recordings for Tim Sweeny’s Beats in Space Radio as well as the infamous Dekmantel-Podcast series.

With all of this greatness under his belt at the tender age of 26, one can only imagine where Florian is going to take his talent and dedication in the future. For 5918mins., he bangs out a mix that left both of us speechless and in awe. It is a mix as relentless as his consistent greatness, with almost two hours of killer after killer after killer. Flo weaves together a variety of tracks defying standard genre-classification, with the right dose of humour, meta-commentary through lyrics and a feel for the unpredictable. We can only say thanks to Flo for providing us with this absolute high-light of a mix and wish him all the best in his endeavours to come.
