Wata Igarashi - Mindgames - Balance (October 2021)

Peter Van Hoesen at The Labyrinth 2019, closing set.

Venue:  Hodaigi Campgrounds, Gunma, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

The Labyrinth 2019 - Peter Van Hoesen (closing set)

Chakra journey number 4. This one starts out pretty tough in the lower sections and takes a bit to find its feet. Both Vril and Luke Slater help form a discombobulated earthly realm at the front end of this mix. By the time we get to the invocation of Architectural's masterful synth workout in 2020 Disco Clash, tickling the Solar Plexus and inviting the Heart Centre into receivership mode, we launch into some seriously sublime upper frequency activity. Robert Babicz's take on Dan Corso's New World is out of this world and sits so sweetly between the Heart and Throat Centres, launching the mix into an extended exploration around the Throat centre before illuminating in indigo dayglo brilliance the intuitive centre of the Third Eye, courtesy of OPML favourite Joachim Spieth, and the brilliant Monoloc, whose retro The Untold Way is surely an under appreciated masterpiece. Svaorg's Birds hits the Crown note beautifully to end the journey.

Peter Van Hoesen: Labyrinth 2014 (Hybrid Dj/Live)

Dear friends 

I cannot give you the Sound of the Season as I have for so many years. Right around now. One of my favourite missions.

We lost our season.

But I hope I can still reach you. 

I cannot describe in words how much I miss you all. It shakes my soul not to have a couple of turntables and a mixer and most of all you out there in front of me. Creating little bits of history together.

I offer this mix to keep us going - a very rare live club recording for you - from this year ... It comes from the heart. From my heart to yours 

Love Sven
