The Best of GusGus Mix

Exclusive Guest Mix - Sparkless:

Alexander Khomenko, better known as Sparkless among electronic music enthusiasts, was born on August 9, 1982, in the cultural hub of Russia, Saint Petersburg. Unlike many musicians whose love for music is innate, Alexander's passion for music developed gradually. It's challenging to pinpoint the exact moment, but it was the discovery of records from England and Italy that ignited his interest. As he matured, Sparkless began composing and curating music himself. However, he temporarily veered away from music composition by the late 90s, immersing himself more as a music connoisseur.

His journey into DJing was serendipitous. While signing up as a fan of a particular DJ on a music website, he stumbled into DJing, experimenting with mixing tracks. This newfound pursuit captivated him, becoming a steadfast passion that he continues to pursue, delighting his audience with fresh mixes consistently.

Sparkless has since become a prominent figure in the music scene, authoring over 150 music reviews in his homeland. For the past eight years, he has consistently ranked among Russia's top 100 DJs on the country's premier music platform.

Describing the music he champions as an "intellectual and emotional cocktail with deep philosophical undertones," Sparkless gravitates towards genres like Deep House, Nu Disco, DNB, Soulful, Atmospheric Breaks, and House.

A versatile DJ, Sparkless holds residencies at Alchemist Bar and Mantra Club, showcasing his talent across various venues.

Is this Balearic

Is this Balearic? - Guest Mix - Sparkless - March 2024

Mallorcan electronic artist Pepe Link shares new track ‘Exotronic’ featuring guitarist Santino Surfers.
 
' Exotronic' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Experimenting with the boundaries of the Balearic style, Pepe Link mixes in a good portion of early 80’s electro, assembling a cooler, more robotic beat on which Santino Surfers aka Jonas Krag lets his guitars unfurl and bloom.

Supported by Koda’s Cultural Funds and Musik Forlæggerne.

Pepe Link - Exotronic (ft. Santino Surfers) - s0786

This is our personal favourite of the label for this year!

Included in DMC UK Buzzcharts and Mixmag Reviews. Premiered by Big Shot Magazine & Deephouse Amsterdam. Props from Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space), Axel Boman (Pampa/Studio Barnhus), Tensnake (True Romance), dOP (Circus Company), Acid Pauli (Crosstown Rebels), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap Records/Hercules&Love Affair)...
Functional, ethereal, hallucinogen, deep, oceanic, balearic disco house. This is how Sirens Of Lesbos' first volume of their new ESSAYS series sounds like:
Moving across the genres...
While SOL's signature material is rather song structured / radio orientated, ESSAYS displays a different, more experimental and 100% dancefloor oriented dimension of the group. Volume 1 is a shamanic silver bullet for all DJs who praise dream-like house music, electronic synthesized melodic beats & grooves and some Ibiza Sunshine.

Tim Sweeney:
"Nice one."

Axel Boman:
"Polynesian Dance at sunrise at Sunset Campout this week is the plan! The SOL release is great!!! Love it!! :)"

Tensnake:
"Quite a strong EP."

Mixmag:
"Wicked - like a mature nintendo game aimed at the dancefloor."

dOP:
"Like the happy mood of Polynesian Dance!"

Acid Pauli:
":)"

Patrick Pulsinger:
"1980s Japan!"

Friendly Fires:
"Lovely. Polynesian Dance is ecstatic."

DMC UK Worldmagazine:
"3 beautiful and unique tracks bringing smiles and grooves to the floor. Polynesian Dance looks set to be a classic for sure."

Deephouse Amsterdam:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-sirens-of-lesbos-7-minutes-in-tibet/
'Their new EP on Exploited will undoubtedly make its mark in this month’s release calendar. The three-tracker gets under your skin from the outset. Premiere 7 Minutes in Tibet is less of a dance-floor filler than it is a perfect after party anthem.'

Big Shot Magazine:
http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/mp3s/stream/37095/
'This month the wildly creative posse return with Essays Volume 1, an EP tailored exclusively for the dance floor. “Together In 1980s Japan” is a dreamy disco-house affair sporting a bouncy bassline, shimmering melodies, crafty synth-driven bleeps and oh-so-angelic vocal samples.'

Soft Collapse – Def Ferrer

Not everything breaks at once.
Soft Collapse unfolds slowly — a quiet falling apart, gentle but inevitable.
Deep, restrained grooves and fragile textures carry the feeling of holding on just a moment longer, even as everything begins to give way.
It’s about surrender without drama, and the calm that sometimes follows when resistance fades.

Def Ferrer
