Steven Weston is a Grammy Nominated engineer, producer and songwriter from London. Bought up in Portsmouth, Steven learned to play the organ, but an early obsession with electronic music soon saw him trading it in for a set of turntables and a CDJ. At 18, he left for Spain, where he became a resident DJ on the Murcia coast. He has been on the move ever since, touring the world playing keyboard for the likes of Ladyhawke, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko and UNKLE. He was also the first and lead bass player in The KLE side project Badger Kull. He cut his teeth as an engineer and Metropolis and Strongroom studios in London, and worked for many years as engineer for Rudimental, at their studio Major Toms in Hoxton.

The last few years have seen Weston collaborating with James Lavelle’s UNKLE on a variety of projects, he’s toured everywhere, playing sold out shows and festivals as part of UNKLE:Live. Most recently he produced the Ronin I mixtape, which was released spring 2021. Most recently he has remixed a track from that mixtape, Catch Me When I Fall, which has had amazing support from John Digweed.

Liquid is the first track Weston has released on another label, with his first EP and remix EP being released on his own label Blank Dust. ‘When I was getting into to Electronic music at a young age, Sasha and Digweed were my biggest inspiration, so for Sasha to put out my first track (on another label) is an honour’. Liquid is released on Last Night On Earth, 11th February 2022.

The Letters Of EP, from Estonian father-son duo about : river, features three original cuts from the pair, each unique but tied together by about : river’s ability to compose surging synth melodies and club-ready progressive beats.

Opening the project up is L, the first of the letters referred to in the title. L provides over seven minutes of beautiful chord movement and driving bassline, setting the tone immediately. The feeling is nostalgic, melancholy, and straight from the heart.

O, as the second track is titled, slows things down to a stroll, before introducing stunning strings and a meandering synth line that seems to playfully float in and out of the listener’s consciousness.

On the final cut, V, the duo serve up a slice of bouncy dance music complete with a rubbery bassline and keyboard stabs that is part-disco, part-house. The upbeat song is crying out for the dancefloor, and will bring some heat to clubs around the world over the colder months.

We have enlisted B.A.X. and VieL on remix duties, and they both offer their takes on the opening track L. First up is B.A.X., who spends the first two minutes of their interpretation building to an irresistible crescendo before dropping in to the beat.

The remainder of the track revels in about : river’s gorgeous instrumentation and melody writing, delivering a memorable cut of progressive beauty.

VieL, meanwhile, offers up a take that is more heavy on percussion, but retains many of the original’s best melodic qualities to create something quite unique.

Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.
