Favourite Mixes 2020 (Part I)

We continue our wave of excellent Dutch producers with David Douglas, one of the shining stars in the Atomnation roster. Transitioning from videography to electronic music in 2012, David has crafted a superbly fresh and distinct sound. Wavy and semi-retro psychedelics mash up against emotionally potent landscapes and low slung funk in his trademark and diverse productions. His exclusive mix for FWD.DJ is a tasteful cut of deep night funk that would fit well in a club or a set of earbuds.

Mesh Series 001: Voltereta 

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, play out and what they listen to.  
 
Voltereta [Feli Navarro] originally from Barecelona, is based in the south of Spain in Cadiz, he creates and explores fields of electronic music, digital art and performance. His formative years were spent studying at the Music Technology Group in Barcelona followed by performing at La Biennale di Venezia with the Galata Electroacoustic Orchestra. He is currently a researcher and collaborator at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona)
 
Being a lover of thorough production, Voltereta brings the potency of melodic techno together with the depth of ambient and sound art, crafting a fluid and eclectic style of dense atmospheres that invite dancing and introspection. After ’Castigo Al Mar’ (Traum Schallplatten, 2015) and his EP ’Cabezas Bien Altas’ (Sr. Nadie Subcultura Recordings, 2016) he focused on creating visuals, collaborations with other artists and, step by step, recording his new album ‘Nubla’ (Làdeli Editions, 2020).
 
Due to his fascination with the evocativeness of electronic music, the narrative component always plays an important role in his releases. Memory and dreams, the dialogue between digital technology and nature, the ideas of dystopia and utopia or the meaning of home, have played a role in shaping his discography.
 
The artwork was chosen by the artist, some words below:
"Some months ago I commissioned the artwork for my new album Nubla to Rob Clouth. We ended up having a collection of really nice computer-generated artworks made with a custom software developed by Rob. I've chosen this one because I think it represents how the mix goes, something that looks organic but it's been digitally generated, that can resemble a peaceful picture taken in nature but it also contains darkness and some sort of void and uncertainty"

Mesh Series 01: Voltereta

art:cast special by Mathias Schober

Lossless co-founder and passionate music as well as tech enthusiast Mathias Schober mixed and compiled the latest art:cast and comes along with what can yet be described as a very authentic piece of the arts. The Berliner, who will release his new The Fall EP shortly, slides through different sounds and musical approaches still remains true to one, his style and delivers a set that's worthy the name classy, if not to say classic. Mathias' simply balances the amount of deepness, club vibes and headphone listening experience so smoothly that it feels like riding a (sound)wave forever giving the listener the chance to breathe before picking up a new wave that brings one closer to the beach if so it feels like riding towards the horizon or the point when the blue sky meets the blue sea.

Tracklist

Hey friends,

as we are all trying to cope with what's happening in our world, I felt the urge to express my sentiments in a musical way and let you be part of it.

Use this mix as a tool to reflect, sit back and liberate from the current situation.

Yours sincerely,

Tim.

Healing

There could be an emotional text about how much fun @christianloeffler’s concerpt in Yerevan was in January, but because he got sick the day before, it was postponed and turned into Concerpt №2. Then there could be a text about how much fun Löffler’s concerpt was in April, but we didn’t even get to announce that one as the coronavirus was quicker to announce its tour dates. And the only thing we can do now is share this mix, which is so good and so much about the days we are living now; days that have definitely forced us to rethink our lives and pay attention to the invisible happy moments that until now got lost in our daily routine; and generally times that will make us look at the life we had before and change the way we’ll look at the days we are going to be living once everything is over. It all may seem too romantic or far from reality, and things may return to their normal state after all, but nothing will be the same anymore. And this mix will remain as the sole thing connecting us from the past days to ourselves in the days to come.

art:cast °83 | Dave DK

Known for dedicating himself to deeper chords, to the bitter beauty of melodic melancholy in music, it is Berliner and Pampa mainstay Dave DK, who delivers the next episode of the art:cast series. Like a fresh breath of air the artist rips through his music archieve and selected more than a handful, rather more than “two handful“, of tracks that cover an easiness in seriousness, that make you believe in the warmth of a human heart in difficult times but at the same time have the strength to portray the current or present situation. Dave DK's art:cast is like surfing through the empty street beaches when having caught this moderate wave that moves you past the buildings while flooding and eliminating your mind with thoughts of joy and sadness but charming the latter away.
