We are more than happy to welcome Stephan(@earlorlog) to our hallooo Mix Series. In his mix he gives room for a feeling of imminence by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 🌬🌚🕊

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH EARL ORLOG ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: It started with the idea to make some kind of anti- war downbeat mix. Although it was clear from the start that I also wanted to include some new digs, the mix should centre around two classics: Timmy Thomas’ “Why Can’t We Live Together” and “Clouds Across The Moon” by the RAH Band. Anyway: By the time everything was done and dusted, I had replaced Thomas’ original with a cover version and all that was left of “Clouds Across The Moon” was a little vocal snippet. But I think I somehow managed to preserve the intended spirit: To tell it like it is. To let the story not be smothered in utopian beauty but to give room for a feeling of imminence, or subliminal distress and even a bit of good old German Angst … by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and more or less related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Not exactly a story, but G. Rizo’s „Je Me Mentis“ is an alltime fave of mine. It’s a still pretty much underappreciated (wrongfully, of course) piece of abstract disco dub from Switzerland. A real heavyweight … practically at almost any speed.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in music?

A: I’m intrigued by music that is outlandish, naive, heartfelt, original, unfamiliar, genuine, odd, wild, touching, surprising, spooky, in any way trailblazing and/or trying to reach out to the stars - no matter from which era or part of the world. Ideally there’s a Saz, Oud, Sitar or Twang Guitar as well as a prominent Bass and some analogue Synths involved. Even better if it’s drenched in echo or reverb. I like to rummage through flea markets, second-hand shops, record fairs and cassette booths. Especially when I’m on holiday. As far as African, South American and Asian music is concerned I find a lot of stuff via local friends and Instagram contacts. And of course, what other diggers are spinning at parties, uploading to their YTs, or recommending in our chats is a huge inspiration.

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: Never let go: Beyond Sound - “Diamond Harbour”. Holy grail: Os Tincoãs - “s/t”. A record I managed to finally cross off my wantlist this week: Z.I.Z. - “…Aber Sie Machen Es Göttlich” 

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out?

Hallooo Mix Series No.11 – Earl Orlog

Hello & Willkommen to the Alternative Fakten 1st of May Takeover. Happy Tag der Arbeit!

Alternative Fakten is a Munich-based platform operating events, radio shows & physical/digital releases: exploring the weird and obscure, injecting anarchy into the city's underground electronic music scene. Today’s takeover is a mix of crew and friends, serving a very “Special Schwurbel 10h Sunday Afternoon Extravaganza”.

Starting things off is Tom Zwotausend, who started Alternative Fakten in 2018, followed by longtime crew members Bartoszek, Veronika USA and Norandin. Enjoy!

Next up are Die Spiiiders. Who the fuck are Die Spiiiders? Lucky enough, Alternative Fakten was able to sign the trio for further adventures after delivering the hit-banger “Ich bin ein Kaltgetränk, ich wohne im Kühlschrank”. Today, we are happy to enjoy a one hour set of the future supergroup’s favorites.

Following up, we are celebrating two very special “Kleiner Tanzraum” moments served during the latest Alternative Fakten club night at Import Export, Munich. Notorious Mira Mann and Céline deliver their alternative facts on the matter.

Closing today’s Alternative Fakten takeover, we’re willing to go down all the way to the rabbit keller – where CD Jessy is waiting for us already. The driving force behind the Alternative Fakten video work is also a big pusher for the anarchic twist within the team’s portfolio – rein da!

He’s followed by Niklas and Joshua alias Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge , who have always been a big inspiration for the Alternative Fakten project. Lucky enough the Faktis had the chance to host them twice here in Munich alraedy. Very happy to present this one hour guest mix in the context of a long lasting friendship. Na Servus!

Finishing off this Alternative Fakten takeover at Radio 80000 is P-T2, who has been a backbone of the Munich underground scene for many years. Apart from associations with WUT Kollektiv, RFR Records, Common Ground she played a real killer set at the March edition of our regular club night – hope to have you back soon, P! <3

That’s it! For more information and regular updates please follow us here or visit them for the next event here in Munich at Import Export on July 23rd, the big Sommerfest. Ciaoi!

In Your Mind 7"

Angelo & Jacoby - Outta Your Mind Mix [Part 1]

Club / Hotel Autarkic @TEDER.FM 14/8/23

The Australian native and co-founder of mind expanding imprint Multi Culti began his voyage into production in the noughties as Gus Da Hoodrat, part of the party-starting Bang Gang crew. After a brief hiatus from music he returned as Dreems, and with that a more organic psychedelic approach to DJing and producing.

This deep natural approach is mirrored in how he runs Multi Culti with fellow DJ and friend, Thomas Von Party. Since starting the imprint in 2013, the pair have cultivated a striking visual and audio aesthetic, becoming flag-bearers for kaleidoscopic pan global sounds.
