I met Connor upon my return from Romania and he, among a few others I met, brought me straight back in to what I call, the good side of being in Britain.  These youngsters are extremely cultured and knowledgeable about music in general but mostly, UK music. Bringing me back straight to my home base. 

Connor's background is rooted in jungle free parties, a genre he used to also play during University times in Nottingham, in this period  he had a residency at Stealth. Later, over the years he switched to more 4x4 genres by playing jungle records at 33rpm rather than 45rpm.  At the tender age of 18 he played under the alias  'Malebox' - a disco duo with one of his closest friends where he was a resident of Shut The Front Door, a monthly party at Jamm Brixton.  It was also under this alias and his solo one that he was a resident of The Cause in London.

In 2020, Connor creates Serenity Records.  A new not-for-profit record label, aimed at raising essential awareness on the growing epidemic of mental health within the music industry, whilst also donating all proceeds of its project to various mental health charities. One of the key features of the project is to allow the artists commissioned for each EP to have the opportunity to select the particular charity that their work will support. Releases so far bring John Shima, Anna Wall, Thoma Bulwer and Innershades. 

I feel that this 1hr set that Connor recorded for us sums up all of the above beautifully, certainly a feature I want to see in artists, especially younger ones like him. Ones that honour all their influences without neglecting anything or jumping on the “current hype”.  Fascinating enough, all of the above can be heard in this elegantly built set. 

Happy listening.

RADIO.D59B / MENTALISM #2 w/ Andrea Ferlin Part.one

In a sweet hybrid of 90s house and minimal tech, Louiv’s got the controls for the next hour.  For episode 101 of the podcast, we’re bringing it back to basics, with stripped back rhythms, classic cuts and some of 2021’s biggest releases.  Born in Mexico and now stateside, Louiv’s passion for sound “evolved from the low-fidelity of underground techno and clean scenes of serenity,” now sounding smooth & emotive, gravitating towards a “blend of textures and groove with a minimalist ambience”.

Since kicking off his imprint Texture Summit in 2019, Louiv’s been a key player in the San Francisco underground dance scene, bringing through the likes of Rhadoo, Francesco Del Garda, Youandewan and Liquid Earth, as well as Mantra Collective favourites like Sepp and Dewalta. 

Alongside Texture Summit residents Zacky, Volen, Pily & Sânti, Louiv is building a name synonymous with ‘selector’, crafting fluid and high octane sets with raw drums, slamming basslines and little room in between.  

Thanks for joining us for 101, time to get schooled.

Ears Wide Open is my call for you to come wander open-heartedly into the endless realm of beats and melodies I dig, mostly – but not limited to – electronic, No boundaries or preconceptions, just all that music I wanted to share with the world, but I didn’t have the chance yet.

I grew up listening to the radio or better said, the radio grew me musically, infected me with a visceral need to select the music I loved and tape it on cassettes. Later on, I started to buy vinyl and play them to the people at parties. Ears Wide Open triggers a new dimension of what DJing means for me. Tune in and enjoy!

LIZECAST 025.2

Sound by And.rea

The Lizecast is a monthly episode representing our desires in sound as a label and artist collective. Each episode features a one to two hours mix by one of our befriended producers and djs or by ourselves.

Due to a technical problem within the SoundCloud system, And.rea's wonderful contribution to the LIZECAST Series dated from December 2017 was accidentally deleted from our page. This is obviously very unfortunate and annoying but we are more than happy to upload it once again and keep the same URL of course to ensure working links. It received beautiful feedback so far. Hope you guys give it another listen and enjoy!

And.rea was born in 1997 in Varese,Italy. After playing and studying drums for several years he got in touch with electronic music and the local club-scene at the age of 15. 
After being influenced by Yay parties he started collecting records and cultivating his passion for production and music in general and he quickly became part of the Yay resident djs team. 
At the age of 18, And.rea released his first EP, a double vinyl on the Berlin based label Melliflow, managed by Vera and Alexandra.

Enjoy the podcast!

Peace <3

Biography 
DJing is as much an art form, as it is entertainment; finding the right records to move the dancefloor is one thing but giving audiences something to take away from the experience is quite another. Katie Drover knows how to take people to that next level injecting her performances with a captivating energy and passion that's made her an immediate standout wherever she plays.
A prodigious musical talent, Drover immersed herself in music from an early age, playing piano and saxophone and having a strong passion for classical music, jazz and blues. Katie's insatiable musical hunger meant she'd soon discover a liking for Lounge, Trip Hop and Acid Jazz, revelling in the likes of Tricky and downbeat masters Portishead and Massive Attack.
From the time she was 16 years old, Drover's desire to have her own proper slice of the dance music action led her to sneak into dance clubs and illegal raves where she was able to see how DJs controlled dancefloors and she was instantly fascinated by the energy in these rooms.
With a natural flair for blending a divergent array of sounds into one seamless flow, Katie's impact was instantaneous. Encompassing the full breadth of the house genre – from minimal, deep, to disco and electro – she'd drop it all, drawing influence from everyone from Billie Holiday and Nils Frahm to Matthew Herbert and DBX.
A favourite amongst Melbourne's punters, Katie held an enviable list of residencies, knocking out the goods at the most well known clubs in the city. Her ever-growing popularity also ensured she was able to travel to interstate and international parties ensuring she has the dancefloor's seal of approval. Now she resides in Berlin where she has a handful of residencies and plays regularly in the city known for its diverse record spinning talent.

German trio Wareika made up of electronic musicians Jakob Seidensticker, Florian Schirmacher, and Henrik Raabe have crafted a sublime style that gives more than a nod to their Jazz and Classical backgrounds. This deep knowledge and understanding of these genres, as well as the inhuman skill at the controls of their machines, makes for one of the most impressive live acts in the game.

Being a part of the Perlon family since their 2010 album ‘Harmonie Park’ the trio have sewn together with a great many moods and sonic journeys since then. As well as the magical Frankfurt imprint this talented threesome has also starred for the likes of Amphia, Visionquest as well as our own recent charity release. being DJ’s too Wareika have a truly unique perspective on dance music in all its many forms so it with great pleasure we present 80 minutes of live-based action for the next edition of our podcast series.

Welcome to Live Sessions 004

In this series, were transporting you straight into the front row of clubs and musical gatherings from across the globe, as we showcase live performances from the artists we admire 🎶🌏 🛰️

Our 4th "Live Sessions" comes from Russian virtuoso Finetune.

Externalizing phantasies from his imagination through a range of musical instruments, @MichaelDop's Finetune project has grown into a startling creative force. This is music that is born from a variety of emotional states. Communicated masterfully from within an artistic headspace in which improvisation is invariably welcome. As one of the founders of the famed Russian collective @SLOWDANCE, Michael’s story is one of an artist in its truest form. A curious and captivated mind that sees art as a way to travel to another world. As Finetune he draws on a multi-genre palette to explore these worlds. Utilizing everything from experimental electronics and ambient to IDM and house, as he conjures sonic spells that ebb and flow like the rivers themselves, or race and fly like the icy winds.

This exquisite set was recorded 'live' at Mutabor in Moscow for SLOWDANCE'S 12th Birthday back in August last year. We trust you'll find it as captivating as we do.
