Why do we tell stories?

We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.

But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.

The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun.

With Voyage & Return, Chapter 24 returns with seven tracks collected from artists across the world to bring these themes to life. 

This broad-ranging edition of the series spans storytelling electronica from Peruvian Luis Leon, while NO GRAVITY and Olivier Weiter offer two variations on the broken beat theme. Meanwhile, label newcomers Yacine Dessouki & Alani make their own contribution with the organic house of the powerful opening track. 

Elsewhere big dancefloor cuts are offered by QUARTZ and Several Definitions, before deft emotional composition from Christopher Ivor brings the compilation to a clean and satisfying close.

They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories. 

And so, as the storyteller utters that age-old, magical phrase "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away…

Released on Friday 26th May.

Early support from the likes of Above & Beyond, Nick Warren, Edu Imbernon, DJ T, Eelke Kleijn, Lee Van Dowski, Danny Tenaglia, Betoko, Silicone Soul, Cristoph, Darin Epsilon, Gai Barone, Marc DePulse, Cid Inc, John Monkman, Soul Button, Marc Poppcke, Atish, Franz Alice Stern, Elias Tzikas, Lonya, Djuma Soundsystem and many more.

LeZ-gELm is al meer dan 15 jaar dance-producer. Zijn stijl varieert van Tech-House, Techno (Berlinstyle, Minimal/Dark/Techno) tot Deep-House.
Het typische geluid van LeZ-gELm herken je aan de diep oscillerende bassgeluiden en veelzijdige drumspartijen. Bijna altijd geproduceerd tussen 126 en 128 BPM. Zijn tracks zijn technisch tot in de kleinste puntjes verzorgd en blijven je met een makkelijk luistergehalte van het begin tot het einde boeien. Het publiek zal blijven dansen!
Vrijwel alle eigen tracks van LeZ-gELm zijn uniek qua arrangement en opbouw. De tracks worden dan ook compleet van “scratch” af aan geproduceerd zonder gebruik van sample-loops van sample CD’s. 
Inspiratie haalt hij uit allerlei muziekstijlen zoals door o.a.: DUBFIRE, SECRET CINEMA, ERIC SNEO, JULIAN JEWELL, REINIER ZONNEVELD, BART SKILLS en DAVID BRIXX. 
Een paar voorbeelden van geremixte tracks: 
“Cell” oorspronkelijk geproduceerd door Pan-Pot 
“Redemption” oorspronkelijk door en nu ook weer voor Oliver Weiter
 “Organon” van Eric Sneo
 “Beds are Burning” , Midnight Oil.

The project Mr. NIELSSON and his debut EP ’LILA KASTANIENBAUM’ is all about transforming the moments we experience in life into a vast array of sounds. His nom de plume is Tyce Forst and he was born in Bavaria, Germany. Mr. NIELSSON is based in Berlin since 2014 and he gets his inspiration from this exciting metropolitan city. His main creativity to start create music came when he first heard the track ’Why does my heart’ from Moby blasting through the car-radio in 1999. After graduating high school he did an motor mechanic apprenticeship and the wide spectrum of sounds he experienced there influenced him even more to express himself through his sound. 
Musically he seeks inspiration in everything (except German Schlager and Metal). Mikrotrauma,Ryan Davis, Bob Marley,Dave Harrington and Nina Simone, to name just a few.

Jack Hernandez (mr. nobody) is a disc-jockey and producer from Barranquilla, Colombia. Since a very young age, music was introduce by his father and uncle who were very passionate with classic rock. Bands like Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix where an instantly identify with his persona. A few years later, digging in his father's cd collection, Pink Floyd was found. Their progressive psychedelic sound change his hole idea of what music is all about and from that moment music was all about stimulation, senses, organism and brain, but, his love for electronic music began with Mauro Picotto. In 2000, in the car with his dad, going to the grocery store was the first time he listen to Mauro Picotto - Komodo in the radio and from there on there was no turning back. MR. NOBODY is all about versatility but, staying always true to his own emotions, because from there comes all of his proposals for his sets, remixes and original mixs. Techno is his medium of expression to create an excitation of various agents or forms of energy on receptors that generate impulses that travel to nerves and brain, giving always a unique feel on the dance floor.

Music with meaning. Storytelling house and techno with heart and soul above all else.
