With over 2 years in the making, the debut of Luis Leon on Nie Wieder Schlafen feels like a long overdue salvation. The highly explorative mind of Luis has always fascinated us and while the right moment has taken it's time, his sound was always admired in some shape and form. At last, we were finally able to capture his vision in our framework, which allowed his sound to prosper with our collaborative touch. With incredible patience and careful selection throughout the last years of communication, Luis Leon's debut comes with the name of "My Ears Have Tears".

The ideas of hypnotic base rhythms and long drifting sounds do extend to the next track called "Take the Gun". Wunderous vox-like pads open and close in a breathing-like sense, while a ruthless and quick bass/kick pattern fills out the low end space, to build some heavy momentum. Long-lasting, almost noisy spaces fill the tension within the groove, while the fading but long one note pads decay in the abyss with subtle but effective glides. It invokes a mysterious space that is explored with excitement.

I Thought It Was Yesterday

Premiere: Boaksi - I Thought It Was Yesterday [Project Indigo]

Our friend AckerMan from Israel delivers a 3 track ep that is great for every kind of dancefloor and moment.

First up is his collab with KUSHITZ. Why Is That is a smooth guitar bass driven track with guitars and catchy synth stabs. Perfect for setting the mood of the night.

Second is Dalkan Sonol, the one that names the ep. 
This is a club ready indie dance track by AckerMan, KUSHITZ & Rakovsky. 
Get ready for a strong synth bass, that will be stuck in your head, heavy snares, bells, and elements that develop throughout the track.

Dimensions is third, a killer acid club track. Just play this one out loud.

Brazilian genius ROTCIV delivers a remix for Dalkan Sonol. He changes the mood by adding some electro and breakbeat vibes into his fantastic interpretation of Dalkan Sonol.

Last but not least Russian wonder Anastasia Zems goes breakbeat on her take of Dimensions.

Tracklist:

1. AckerMan X KUSHITZ - Why Is That?
2. AckerMan X Rakovsky X KUSHITZ - Dalkan Sonol
3. AckerMan - Dimensions
4. AckerMan X Rakovsky X KUSHITZ - Dalkan Sonol (ROTCIV Remix)

'The Munich-based label ZEN DNA proudly presents one of the most anticipated releases joining together the skills of Stanny Abram and Art Was Art. Orwellian Nightmares is one of the bestselling Electro singles of all time and a signature track for Art Was Art. Stanny Abram simultaneously thrives in Electro, House, Techno, Tech House, and many other genres. He's a cutting-edge artist and one of today's most wanted producers, and his two remixes of the timeless classic explain why. The first remix expands the dystopian themes and hypnotic atmospheres powered by masterfully programmed drum patterns. The second remix uses the meditative vibe of the single and strips it down to basics. Instead of a pumping dance-floor-focused piece, Abram delivers a perfect soundtrack for interstellar travels, fusing electronica, synth-wave, and cosmic music in a cohesive masterpiece. It's classical music for the generations of the distant future!'

Premiere: Art Was Art - Orwellian Nightmares (Stanny Abram Remix) [ZEN DNA]

Japanese genius Ground comes with an outstanding release; two bangers that will definitely shake everyone´s brains & bodies in collab with Juna and Nakamoog (also from Japan). A twisted mixture between organic sounds, synthesizers and rhythm swaps; 100% Ground style. On remixing duties the Mexican producer Odia nailed a mental 5 minute compilation of sounds; an off-grid track that swings between breakbeats & some proto-hardcore grooves. Stay weird!

“Live Cuts” is a series of tracks we have been playing as part of our live set for the past couple of years.
These tracks were made exclusively to be played live. Since we started touring in 2012, we’ve always considered a live set as a work-in-progress, something in permanent motion, made "for the moment”, right there, right then. Each night is different and every gig takes us into unexpected directions. We always run away from the idea of making our live set just another “playlist” of the tracks that we officially released only to please the crowd. We wanted to take the risk to create something new and embark with people on a musical journey that was made just for them, just for that moment.

All throughout December, we’ve decided to share those exclusive tracks with you. As their name suggests, these are “Live Cuts”, they are unmastered and unreleased, recorded live. They might sound rough or undone but our live set remains an unfinished story ;)
Enjoy the music.

Saschienne - Live Cuts #1 (SNIPPET)

Dearest friends of Hippie Dance!
Recently we received important word from a King and we found his request so unique and we believe it is so important that we feel compelled to share it with you.

We have no idea how he found us, or why he specifically chose us to spread his Word, but since we feel particularly honoured that he chose us for this vital task, we ask you to please take the time and read the electronic letter He sent, from what he refers to as the Disco in the Sky.
“Hail to you, Hippie Dance,
My name is King So So.


I am, because you are.


I created the Disco in the Sky solely for you, and it is now, finally ready for your glorious arrival. Here, I will welcome you, to dance in the light with me, where you will have fellowship with me, and with one another, and gone will be the days of darkness.

Listen, I now stand at your door, Hippie Dance.

I am knocking.

If you have an ear, hear my voice and let me in.

Grant me the pleasure and honour to sit with all of you, and I will allow you to sit with me on my throne in the Sky. Hear what the Spirit of So So says to you:

Come dance in the Disco in the Sky, and swim in the Lake of Sweet Dreams with me and there I will manifest myself to you.

If you love me, I will give you my Word that I will teach you all things sound and bring you memories of the light for you to return to the Sky.

Peace I leave with you.

Summon your friends, Hippie Dance.

Tell them that I am waiting for all of you.

I am ready for you.

Tell them to arise! Tell them to go forth to the Disco in the Sky where we will be together until the Kingdom goes.
Yours, like I am, sincerely,
King So So“
