DJ Mixes

In 1980 the 15-years old Stefan Egger got bored by the routine of the annual family vacation at the Garda Lake and started exploring the city of Lazise on his own. Looking for excitement the young Austrian asked some random alternative-styled guys for a good place to hang out. He found himself at “Club Cosmic“ and instantly got absorbed by the Italian Afro-Cosmic movement. No one less then Daniele Baldelli was playing that night in an UFO-styled DJ booth, surrounded by dancers and multi-coloured flashlights, blending together hypnotic sounds from various genres within minute-long transitions. It turned out to become a life-changing moment for him and the kick-off of a whole movement, which he brought to his hometown Innsbruck. 

With AP 001 we present four fully licensed and re-mastered tracks taken from DJ Stefan Egger’s early output on the Sound Station catalogue. While the A-Side contains two almost unknown mid-tempo bangers, the B-Side pays attention to Stefan’s more spiritual and world-inspired productions.

DJ Stefan Egger – Sound Station EP

After a hiatus of almost 4 years Berlin-based label Avec Plaisir Records is finally back with their second outing: A stunning collection of six almost forgotten Progressive Rock oddities by the Austrian Band Crazy Temple. Being mostly active in the late 70ies, the bunch of youngsters around the songwriting duo Günter Schiller and Herbert Bachinger only released one cassette „Heavy Birth“ as well as the sought-after 7-inch record „Homecomer“ in 1980 shortly before the band was scattered to the four winds. Their productions were recorded in the myth-enshrouded Ebensee Studio, were two members of the band were on the payroll. 

Despite their fairly young age Crazy Temple established a very unique and authentic sound, carried by breezy synthesizers, meandering guitar-solos and the mature voice of Günter Schiller that seems heavily influenced by the favorite bands of their time. Being able to maintain a room in „Schloss Ebenzweier“ where already Franz Schubert was composing might have helped equally as the herbs the teens were smoking during countless hours of rehearsal.

The completion of the first LP by Crazy Temple was originally planned for early 1981 –– 43 years later the plan is put into action with the help of Avec Plaisir founders Sandra & Hendrik Stein. The record comes with six fully remastered original tracks recorded in 1980 complemented by three different takes on „Ev’rything’s Alright“ and „Homecomer“ by label-wright Sandra’s Alias Frinda di Lanco. The reproduction of Oto Atmann’s etching „Die Träumerin von Eden“ as cover artwork adds zest to the authentic look of this release.

Our first contemporary release on Avec Plaisir features a stunning collaboration of Munich-based Ly Nguyen and @supersoundglobal 's Nic Jalusi. We discovered "Laguna Azur" already years ago through our friend Pia and kept playing it in our sets since then, which caused almost ridiculous amounts of ID-requests from audiences all over Europe. So when Ly and Nic agreed on working together on a physical release, we knew this is gonna be something special. 

While the Original Laguna Azur Mix takes you on a motorcycle trip to  a beach bar sipping cocktails in the early 90s (with denim jackets, cocktail umbrellas and the full program), Jalusi's Acid Dub is already starting the party, when the dubby bass hits like we wanna dance into the sunset, watching smiles on everyones faces, rumpled hair from the early evening breeze. 2AM – was it Hazme Sonar or Sueno Latino or the Balearic Eric & Nic Jalusi Dream House Mix – You’re in a sea of hands up in the air when those piano chords kick in after the break. You just want to dive into the ocean for another night swim and shake your drenched body on the sandy dancefloor. A handful of friends remain at the beach in the very moment when the sun comes up and you’ll hear the hypnotizing leftfield dub "My Heart“, lying on the shore, everyone’s eyes turn into the greenish-blue color of a mystical lagoon hidden in the palm forest. A salty taste remaining on your skin.

We're more than proud and excited to present you the summer record of 2024: Suncream’s Laguna Azur EP.

Suncream – Laguna Azur

Ok! This one is special. When we where asked to play at Cosmic Gathering this year, we were flattered and scared at the same time. Of course it's an honor to play to all these great DJs and likeminded people in this beautiful location. But what the fuck should we play to move them? In fact the answer was pretty simple after Henna pulled one of his favourite cheapos out: "this disco beat is all I need... I just wanna dance I just wanna boogie!!" Long story short: We decided for uptempo-trash and had one of the best mornings since ages.  

Unfortunately some unicorn decided to change the recorder-setting at the stage which made the recording of our set inedible. But with the help of some Cava and sweet memories we managed to restore the track list and re-recorded this crazy ride once again. You'd better fasten seatbelts, before you hit that play button!

Cosmic Gathering 2021 – Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein

Being part of the family since day 1, @renavolvo once again appeared at the wooden floor of Crack Bellmer to drive the shuttle with it's colourful board crew into Italo heaven and back.

This is the recording of @frinda_di_lanco and @hendrik_stein's  warmup for Bionda e Lupo's "La Deutsche Vita" record release party at Sameheads - a night which was special in every possible way. 

Since we were flattered by the invitation and love this heartwarming record, we took our chance and prepared our very own interpretation of "Gertalo". After years of digging mostly German and Italian Records but lacking proper occasions for playing these to an open-minded audience, this slot felt like a moment we have prepared since ages, without knowing it would ever happen. 
We're more than happy that there is a recording and Hendrik got back his keys and wallet. 

Thanks to @biondaelupo, @riccardisch and all the great dancers! This was a night to remember.

Rewatch

Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein from the Space In Between // 12-15-2023

⁣Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein from Berlin are pushing airwaves together since 2018. A DJ duo with a deep love for obscure vinyl records and a wild and vibrant mixture ranging from AOR, cosmic, italo, library and disco that never fails to surprise us with the unexpected. Together the couple is spreading joy on dance floors all over Europe. With 'Avec Plaisir' the two founded their own label imprint and re-released an enchanting collection of Austrian Cosmic tracks from the ’90s. We hope you enjoy this wonderful selection as much as we do.


Frinda & Hendrik on their mix : “After listening to the recording from lovely RIAA Bar in September, we decided to go for exactly the same vibe – since that night was special in many ways. It only happened because our gig at Pudel got cancelled due to a double-booking but we had our train tickets already. So instead of bringing a selection of Italian Disco and dance music to Hamburg, we focussed on those records which we usually play to close friends in a home-listening context and that have a certain place in our hearts. At this night we also met Andrea who was enjoying our selection a lot and asked us if we’d like to record this mix you’re just about to listen.“ 💫

Here comes our opening set of Seebühne at Fusion Festival 2024 on Wednesday evening. For us it was a very big honor to play this slot and this pleasure caused some pressure which made us spending quite some time on selecting records and rehearsing. In the end these two hours of truly danceable eclecticism were gone within the blink of an eye and we're still hyped by the memories of all the gorgeous dancers and the love we received. 

Thanks so much for having us!

Super Sound Global – those guys from around Munich, that have been on the fast lane since a couple of years. We’ve been coming across them on many ways. Not only Nic Jalusi’s Edit of “Sinai“ by greek 90s singer Alexandra caught our attention – also as you may know his side project Suncream eventually made us cross paths to work on the „Laguna Azur“ vinyl release on our Avec Plaisir imprint. Super does not only stand for SSG’s ability to find the right music and transform it into something that fits their very own sound aesthetic, it also describes pretty well the image the three guys create around their myth. Slow-paced beat tape releases underlined by perfectly animated graphics create a vibe as if Brooklyn was just across the Isar and their latest 4-track white label vinyl release proves that it’s a mistake to put SSG into the „Downtempo“ pigeon-hole. 
Knowing that plus the personal bond we’ve been developing over the last months erased any doubt that they wouldn’t be the best possibly headliner for our first Dr33333ams night at Arkaoda Berlin. Represented by Nic Jalusi and Balearic Eric SSG gave us a two-hour lesson in anything from progressive over acid, freestyle, new beat to hip house.

FUN FACT I'm a studied visual artist and never picked up my (not so bad) diploma at bauhaus. I've been working in the graphic business for quite some time and then found out it simply wasn't for me having most of my creative output censored, changed and cut back by clients. This is probably one of the reasons why I've put so much energy into DJing recently. Since I'm not considering this as a job now, I will probably never start delivering what someone is expecting here from me. I've tried to record several mixes for different mix series over the last weeks and it totally didn't fit for anything. So this one is actually for ME haha, where I'm at right now. Sorry for those I'm still owing a mix — it will be recorded at some point! ❤
