Last Gentleman On Playa is back on his home record label, @ItsGoodToBeATree, with a delightful organic house release, which also features remixes by @Betelgeize and @Waxwood.

Well known as a Burning Man regular, Last Gentleman On Playa is a respected producer and well-travelled DJ. His innovative mid-tempo style combines charming melodies and organic sounds with tribal drums.

The EP's title track, "Bagus" has mystical flutes and vocals about aboriginal cultures layered over a chugging synth bass with acid tones. Betelgeize's remix of "Bagus" lifts the tempo and works in some melodic pads to create an uplifting version. Waxwood adds some funk to his version with a new bassline that is layered with a jazz piano and vocal sample about blues music. "Opagundes" is a downtempo track with metallic percussion and a psychedelic bassline laying a foundation for bleeping synths. "Nanuka" is the track that features @Valique, and it is a soothing track with deep pads and a trippy flute at the heart of its swirling groove.

Bagus EP

@ninze's fantastic reinterpretation of Aleyna
-> releases April 16th 

Inside the cardamom capsule are the seeds, that give it its characteristic taste; mainly volatile oils that taste a bit like eucalyptus. When put in coffee, they create ever-changing oily textures on it’s surface. It makes the coffee more digestible and neutralizes the caffeine. It tastes a bit paradox. But eventually the taste becomes something else. A special blend that is neither the one nor the other. 

ele & bīsu’s music goes back to studio sessions fueled by cardamom coffee. It’s preparation has been a steady ritual that accompanied the making of the EP. It is the random seeming details and procedures like this that form artistic processes and inspiration. Some day, they might even become an image for a type of experience greater than the individual memory.

Después de presentar Luminescent rush, Nicht mehr es el primero de 
2 free downloads que serán liberados y los cuales representan un "antes y después"  previos al proximo Ep que demarca un nuevo ciclo en el camino de Cuendo, productor con base en Guatemala  y que a su vez se encuentra trabajando en su proximo live set.

Texto por Cuendo:

Nicht Mehr, No más. 
Diálogo cotidiano donde el sujeto toma la decisión de ya no tener que hacer más lo que le incomoda. Palabras que al meterse en una oración, llegan a tener la obligación de poder lograr lo dicho mismo. Las personas narran un diálogo interno, donde estas dos palabras tienen un impacto sobre lo que se quiere y no se quiere hacer. Los diálogos te acompañarán por la vida, para agregar esas palabras y convertirlas en acciones.

After presenting Luminescent Rush, Nicht Mehr is the first of two free downloads to be released, representing a "before and after"  like a preview of the next EP that marks a new cycle in Cuendo's journey. 
Producer based in Guatemala who is also working on his next live set.

Text by Cuendo

A daily dialogue where the person makes the decision to no longer have to do what bothers them. Words that, when inserted into a sentence, become the obligation to do what it say. People narrate an internal dialogue, where these two words influence what they want and don't want to do. 
Dialogues will accompany you through life, allowing you to add those words and turn them into actions.

END OF TIME (MAYZ X JORDDAN)

Hell Yeah's lovingly curated Buena Onda series is back with a new edition that focuses on Adriatic Beats & Beyond. It has been assembled by label head Marco Gallerani and features four exclusive new tunes that reflect his summer residences at a cosy beach bar on Italy's Eastern and Adriatic coast.

Marco moved back to his hometown of Ferrara after the pandemic and began spending more time at the local seaside, the famous Lidi Ferraresi. It's there, at Lido di Spina, that a friend runs Kai Beach Bar, a small spot where, every Thursday throughout August for the last three years, he has soundtracked afternoons and sunsets under the Buena Onda banner, more than a decade after the party first started in Berlin.

"The beat has become less Balearic, more Adriatic," he explains of the sounds that can be heard up and down the coastline. "There’s no sunset culture yet, but they like a groove for aperitivo. This selection reflects the music I propose there, a kinda sunrise to sunset trip."

The 13-track selection includes four exclusives: the first is Blende's 'Amor,' which is forthcoming on the label. Johan Blende is a Swedish producer, songwriter and DJ who weaves together modern dance with retro sounds of the 70s and 80s and debuts on the label this summer with his Recess EP. 'Amor' is a bubbly groove with a New Age wash and lo-fi pads full of charm.

Hell Yeah regular and Italian magic man Walter Del Vecchio aka Quiroga also offers a new Baia Club Ambient Version of 'French Kiss' which has a lazy acid line worming its way through dubby kicks and tabla drums, and his dreamy electro soother 'Cala Ventosa' also features. Secret Soul Society, aka South Wales's Cal Gibson, also tests a new EP with his 'Orange Surprise' blending off-balance rhythmic shuffles with starry cosmic melodies. The final exclusive is from Balearic Gabba Sound System, who flip The Vendetta Suite aka the legendary Gary Irwin's 'Della Notte' into a quietly epic cinematic closer with icy analogue beats and a warped bassline for dubbed out late night escape. His 'Island Hill Microdot' also offers some warped cosmic ambient house introspection.

Elsewhere, Michele Mininni features twice - once with Gallo's Tropical Hinterhof Remix of the suspensory ambient lushness pop 'Carousel of Tears' and once with the original percussive pressure and hip-house fusion of 'Urban Voodoo' from his Pop Archetypes LP. Buena Onda veteran Feel Fly comes through with an Estatico Danzante Remix of Pedro Bertho's 'Tornei' feat Mariana Gehring and takes us to the stars on twinkling keys, dusty breakbeats and steamy vocals that glow as warm as a setting sun.

Add in further groovy gems such as Bonnie and Klein's synth and vibes laced 'Horizon Avenue,' dreamy, breaks-driven downtempo brilliance from pub wave innovator Dawn Again, hints of Ibiza cool from Willie Graff's remix of Aura Safari & Jimi Tenor and some upbeat synth-laced house from label stalwart Luminodisco and you have a faultless collection of grooves for grown up dance floors.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
