Beraber - United Identities @ Borisov Amsterdam

Beraber is the moniker of Amsterdam-based producer and DJ Barış Akardere. With a background in producing hip-hop/beats and composing for film and commercials, he ventured into more uptempo territories a few years ago. Since then, he has released music through labels like Release/Sustain, Lagaffe Tales, Semi Delicious and Carista’s United Identities imprint, and made appearances on revered platforms such as Dekmantel, Red Light
Radio, Boiler Room, and NTS. Always adding bits to his studio setup, from vintage drum machines to classic analog and FM synths, his sound is constantly evolving. Rather than sticking to one specific style, he looks for a certain soulful, emotive and introspective
feeling in the music he makes and plays - proof of which you can find in his productions, DJ sets and monthly radioshow Gentle Actions; on RRFM.on RRFM.

As a DJ he plays in clubs and festivals throughout the Netherlands, having just recently debuted at prominent festivals such as Lowlands and Best Kept Secret, as well as renowned Amsterdam nightclub De School. This mix for Coloring Lessons reflects some selections from one of this summer’s longer gigs.

Utrecht-based record label United Identities line up ‘Gentle Actions’, a smoke-hazed vinyl release from Amsterdam-based producer Beraber...Our pick from the EP is ‘Lost In Loops’. Laden with kick-drums soaked in soft distortion, nocturnal funk fuelled synth progressions and bouncy basslines coiled around pads, distorted vocals stir up the funk and increase the rhythmic drive. Fusing vulnerability and rhythm into a velvet hypnosis, Beraber offers a sanctuary for those willing to lose themselves in the dance.

Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Barış Akardere aka Beraber, organically blends Chicago’s classically schooled keys and machine-made backdrops with subtle, atmospheric textures. His studio is packed with analogue and outboard gear, which defines his sound, and is located in the same building that once hosted the legendary De School club. His soulful and introspective sound is reflected in his acclaimed radio show, "Gentle Actions," on Amsterdam’s RRFM.

Here, returning to United Identities, Beraber sets the tone for long summer evenings and sun-soaked days with a deeply personal collection of music that encapsulates a period of creative and personal growth. Rather than a concept record, it serves as a document of the past years of his musical evolution and marks the first time the producer has used his own vocals in his productions. Further vocal contributions come from Barcelona-based artist Ivy Barkakati, whose lyrics perfectly resonate with the journeying narrative of the EP.

The ‘Gentle Actions EP’ opens with the single 'Between Us', a calm mood-builder gracefully layered with meandering pads. 'Distant Language' picks us up with its dubbed-out groove, guiding our feet on a journey through melodic landscapes. The wonderful ‘Responsibility’ is an introspective track with a powerful message about turning dreams into reality, while ‘Lost in Loops’ is a loose and soulful house cut featuring the artist’s own vocals. The vinyl journey ends with the more upbeat instrumental 'Good Company', which is topped off with a deep, nocturnal remix by São Paulo's Zopelar, a mainstay of the Brazilian scene and global underground with a sound that spans house, techno, broken beat and disco with great style on labels like Tartelet Records, Royal Oak and Nómada Records. He brings a serene, cosmic energy with chatter and percussive grooves that get ever trippier.

Digital bonus cut 'Afterthought' is a serene blend of soothing vocal swirls and smeared ambient pads with wiggling bass and pumping deep house drums, while Zopelar also serves up an Acapella Remix of 'Responsibility' ft. Ivy Barkakati for layering into sets with emotive results.

Premiere: Beraber - Distant Language [United Identities]

Make You

The underground palace was not the temple perceived previously. It was an ugly sight, the rustic gold was not glimmering and shining prosperously but rotten and dirty. The place looked as though it had been left unloved by the previous tenant, perhaps it had sat empty for decades. They would never know the murky details as to what had led to the disarray of such a special place. However, for now it was there job to rebuild and revitalise the old mess. 

Beraber is set to release a new EP on La Freund, a record label which has become synonymous with understated deep house. There is a quality to the output of the label which can sometimes go amiss when establishing a niche within a certain sound, Vincent Floyd even features on the EP on remix duties.

Sun Ritual

PREMIERE: Beraber - Ugly [La Freund]

The third release for La Freund Recordings comes from Amsterdam resident Beraber. Consisting of four strong and very diverse tracks and a jazzy, piano-heavy remix by Chicago House legend Vincent Floyd, Sun Ritual works just as well in the club as it does at home.

All tracks were written and produced during the last two years, combining digital instruments like the Korg M1 and Yamaha DX7 with analog gear like the Roland Juno-6 and Korg MS-10. Kicking things off on the A-side is title track Sun Ritual, a positive and warm tune with lush chords and arpeggiated synths. After a surprising outro, it gets the remix treatment by Deep House pioneer Vincent Floyd, who adds multiple layers to it and delivers a stunning, dreamy eight-minute take on the original.

The flipside opens with Ugly, a soulful club workout with a deep bassline, rolling drums with crisp hi-hats and a hypnotic melody. Next up is Introspect, a serious Electro-tinged cut with heavy Juno chords building up tension as the track evolves. Rounding it up nicely, Forest Rain treats us to an intimate broken-beat affair laced with Rhodes chords and field recordings from Bali.

Regulars on Bolting Bits, Lagaffe Tales (run by Jónbjörn Finnbogason and Viktor Birgisson) have played a pivotal role in introducing us to some of the scene's most talented, up and coming artists like Felix Leifur, David & Hjalti, Moff & Tarkin, and Intr0beatz. This year, the duo has decided to revamp their original digital series called "TALES" and have chosen to familiarize us with yet another gifted producer: Beraber!

Hailing from Amsterdam, Beraber is set to release his Lagaffe debut titled Early Riser, which is a four-track EP that showcases his ability to craft simplistic, lush melodies with an array of memorable synth riffs. At the core of each of his songs lies a mesmerizing groove that gets introduced at the very start and subtly builds throughout its entirety - eventually reaching a point where you can't help but be overwhelmed with just how god damn catchy it is.

A perfect exemplification of his style can be seen in the title track from the EP. In the beginning, the listener is immediately drawn in by the original's sequenced, undulating synths that anchor the piece. From there, Beraber then tasks himself with growing the beat by working in soft pads, a far-out bassline, electric percussion, and jarring chords. Although each of these elements wouldn't pop-out by themselves, as one, they create a phenomenally textured atmosphere that will get your head bobbing in absolutely no time.

Early Riser is set to come out on Lagaffe Tales next month on May 6th. Pre-order the EP here!

Beraber @ Red Light Radio #12 (03-03-2017)

Dutch DJ, music curator and radio host Carista presents Modern Intimacy Volume 1, her first compilation album for United Identities shines a light on rising talents from The Netherlands. Captivating and forward-thinking, the carefully curated selection holds ten electronic-acoustic tracks that are drenched in soul, varying from dreamy songs to intimate treasures for dancefloors.

Modern Intimacy Volume 1 kicks off with two moving soul hymns; Jelee's impressive digital 'Diaspora' and Quanza's acoustic, multi-instrumental 'A Death Supreme'. Sykes brings the broken drums with his infectious builder 'Take'. It is the perfect bridge to the five genre-defying house tracks on the compilation; the lush sounding 'Gloom' by United Identities long-stay Beraber, Laza's groover 'Revelations', Najel Monteiro's hazy 'Limbo' and Panda Lassow's chuggy 'Stability'. The label's versatile, yet harmonious musical approach becomes even broader with Mary Lake's intimate, jacking hitter 'Dribble', Alberta Balsam's futuristic 'Dig301', closing with Black Cadmium's pounding breaks in 'Break Up’.

On her mission to connect like minded lovers of contemporary music, Carista started her United Identities label as well as her inclusive club nights a few years ago. Through her platform, she fell into many unfamiliar, surprising local artists. Today, she is beyond proud to offer a selection of the music that has crossed her path, and a taste of what's to come on the label.
