Friends for almost a decade, Oona Dahl and Amber Cox have always surrounded themselves with creative energy. Meeting briefly in college and then running into each other out in the underground, they started their endeavor as best friends and business partners. Originally based out of Tampa, the Florida nightlife and their mutual passion for electronic music inspired the two to come together as one back in 2009 to form a production and performance duo. The past year they have been machines, working on transcending their own dreamlike world to form Slumber. Over the past year Slumber has been on a tear releasing  EPs on imprints like Better on Foot, Bad Animal and Yuma Recordings. This 4 track EP is a great addition to their sound and discography. We look forward to hearing more from them in the future. 


Slumber :: Alice Takes Acid (Original Mix)

Mayxwell - Night

First Light unfolds across moods — from the vocal deep house original to instrumental blends with Arabic textures, ending in a soaring trance version. One track, many paths.

Lyrics: 

The night is over now  
No more need to ask  
Every thought has drifted  
Like footprints in the dark  

No more chasing answers  
No more turning back  
The silence feels like closure  
The road just leads to now  

I’m not rushing forward  
I don’t need to try  
I’m not holding anything  
Just walking with the light  

The sky begins to open  
But I’m already free  
No need to take it further  
Just let it be

We at Connaisseur are kids of the 90ies. The music we listened to at the clubs at the time made us and will have a place in our hearts for life. Breaking it down to a few titles is very difficult, but if we were to prepare a playlist featuring music from the 90ies that was utterly important to our musical development, Pete Lazonby’s "Sacred Cycles“ would definitely be included. 

It was January 2019 when we first came in touch with Pete and learned that the artist we have known for over two decades has been back for a while already going by the moniker PADRE and that he has quite some plans. In 2019, he released a stunning single "Sweet Transport“ on Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, followed by an album on the lovely Oleeva imprint and further remixes and compilation contributions. 

2020 we kick off with our PADRE debut. A single featuring two unique tracks for special occasions…

„Greater love had no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends“ is a quote from the bible, purveying neither praising nor praying, but a good example for high moral sense. The first track called "Greater Love“ is quite a long distance runner. Used as the opening track for PADRE’s liveset for a while, this tune instantly creates a cozy atmosphere, while the qualified listener and dancer will undoubtedly hear PADRE’s almost 30 years of ongoing experience with electronic music. 

"Flower and Willow World“ is the translation of the Japanese term "Karyūkai“ which describes the elegant, high culture world, that Geisha are a part of. The catchy and life-affirming main-theme creates an asia-inspired atmosphere that instantly sticks in your mind, exuding a farewell moment. An unusual but touching piece of music, hard to place in a certain corner.

The release is rounded up by a sublime Of Norway remix for "Flower and Willow World“, who transformed it into a melodic and classic-sounding house-bomb. The remix will be released two weeks after the original.

B-Day

Mark Slee discovers cosmic landscapes in the elements of ‘Seizoen’, his first EP on Cosmic Society. With dreamy strokes and dubby sways in the Remixes of boys be kko and Florian Rietze.

This EP marks his return to the Cosmic Society label, after his sterling remix of Looke’s 'What Else', back in 2018. The title track ‘Seizoen’ is an ode to synths, beautifully sustained by listless melodies and subtle drums, beginning the journey into the spacy micro cosmos Mark brings forth. An air of mystery envelops us in the flavorful tribal drums on ‘Cardamom’. And ‘Dewdrops’ brings the funky house to end the trek through this spacy soundscape. Most excellent additions to this are the astral remix by boys be kko and the deliciously dubby remix by Florian Rietze. ‘Seizoen’ is an EP with many worlds to be explored.
