So proud to share my EP 'Upside Down', released on the legendary Japanese label mulemusiq with you. 🐝

Before we head into faster territories with my releases, I decided to produce something playful, slow and enriched with my acoustic instruments such as my main one, the violin and also one which I've auto didactically taught myself - the flute. I used the traditional Chinese Xiao flute as well as the classic flute. 
It felt so satisfying to weave these beautiful sounds into the arrangements, to let the acoustic world blend into the electronic realm - it works so well 😍

It's been fun to explore the housy territory for mulemusiq in this release. I've always wanted to do that and it ended up to be my very own version of house, as it's located somewhere in between different genres but still offers some characteristics of house in the tracks besides 'Beyond Light and Shade', which is more breakbeaty and might go more into the direction of general Electronica I guess.

The whole cosmos of the EP is a surreal one, inspired by things like Adventure Time, Ghibli and Nintendo games like Zelda BOTW or Animal Crossing. 
I love weird things, which seem to be random at first but still harmonic in a way. The vocal of Upside Down was a freestyle which I recorded in one go - I love writing lyrics and telling stories which make no sense but create a new surreal world, loaded with cuteness, pictures full of fantasy and of course my beloved nature inspired motifs such as leafs growing out of my ears ;)

Tracklist:
1 Upside Down
2 Eyes Between Letters
3 Beyond Light And Shade
4 Complementary Senses

Digital Release date - December 13th, 2024

Heal Play Love Podcast Nr. 14: Joep Mencke

I’m a Berlin-based music producer and DJ, navigating the worlds of ecstatic organic house, downtempo, meditation music, and ambient sounds. My style is a fusion of soulful melodies and natural accents, creating a deep, immersive experience that connects with both the mind and body.

Influenced by a wide range of genres, I draw inspiration from the calming flow of ambient, the rhythmic energy of ecstatic dance, and the peaceful vibes of meditation music. My sets are a journey, moving from introspective, downtempo moments to uplifting, energetic beats, all while maintaining a sense of grounding in the natural world. It’s more than just music—it’s an invitation to feel, to move, and to be present in the moment.
