On the evening of August 27, 2022 the @warningberlin crew invited me to play the opening set of that evening at the tent of ://about.blank. The party had already been going for a day and I was the first one after the Trancesetters of Westphalia, who played a powerful Acid/Trance-liveset in the garden.
First I was a bit torn between the option to completely reset the vibe or to play the set backwards, moving from 110 bpm downwards. But I decided for the reset, which proved to be the right decision three hours later.
Compared to the other sets to be found on this channel, it's way slower than usual - starting with Jazz, field recordings and then ranging from 75 to 100 bpm.

Done with Ableton Live 11.1.6, a Novation LaunchControl XL, and these tracks, of which there are quite some loops, which glue this whole thing together:

Embarking on a thrilling sonic departure, Michael Claus resurfaces with "Dark Forest," a 12" EP that's sure to incite movement on dance floors everywhere. Shifting away from the chill, down-tempo vibe of his previous release "Lavender Palace," Claus dives headfirst into the realm of breakbeats, heavy synth lines, and distortion. The two original tracks, "Dark Forest" and "Paranoia," bear witness to the innovative producer's penchant for exploration, as he navigates the new BPM range and sound palette with fearless curiosity. Designed for the sub-heavy club sound systems, this EP is destined to reverberate with unbridled energy and intensity.
As if the original tracks weren't enough, the EP also boasts two outstanding remixes that add their own distinct flavor to the mix. Force Placement takes the reins with a jungle-inspired rework, infusing a groovy bass line that rolls beneath a vortex of mind-bending sound effects. This percussive adventure will undoubtedly captivate the senses, transporting dancers to an immersive world of rhythm and intrigue.
Further enhancing the EP's allure, Lara Sarkissian delivers a hazy and psychedelic remix, blending sub-heavy rhythms with mesmerizing sound design. This ethereal concoction showcases Sarkissian's deft touch and mastery of her craft, as she seamlessly weaves together entrancing elements that complement Claus' original vision. "Dark Forest" is a testament to Michael Claus' ever-evolving artistry, and with these remixes, the EP promises to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to enter its enigmatic domain.
