We have invited @vincent-campfens from The Hague, the Netherlands to take us on our next musical journey. Vinsen has become a dear friend over the last few months and we have enjoyed gaining an insight into his passion for discovering deep, emotive and exploratory sounds that align with the musical direction of Above Below. 

Vinsen’s mixes stem from the heart and his personal touch is easily recognisable. This piece is no different. A warm, evolving and inviting story with admirable attention to detail. Sit back and see where the sounds take you. 

“I try to make it a place that always leaves you inspired with a feeling of positivity.”

Vinsen | Above Below

For the 15th edition on our Podcast Series we are happy to welcome the friendly Erico to the label, who got in touch with our label by browsing through the shop of our mutual favourite record dealer, Killacutz. 

After chatting for a bit it appeared that Eric has a taste close to our hearts, balancing between Deep & Dub Techno, sometimes leaning towards the sound of the infamous Giegling. When he sent us this beautiful mix we were sold and more than happy to have it mark the next chapter in the Podcast Series.

It is safe to say that Amsterdam will start to hear more and more about this upcoming artist, and we hope you enjoy these 63 minutes of pure bliss.

Artisan Dub Soup III

Noticeable tingles in my toes to have this series galvanised with a sweetly mixed, pro selection from Alastair Kelly of Lempuyang, and long time friend from the original discogs community.  A stellar, progressive set of top shelf dubby nodders and groovers, graced with luscious vocals. And of course ....always an education from a scholar of the genre - thanks AEK!

Philipp Priebe - Drift Deeper Guest Mix 081

~ Deep Breakfast 311 by https://soundcloud.com/hame-compathy ~

We are pleased to introduce the new Deep Breakfast mix curated by Hame. Based in Amsterdam, Hame is a talented producer, DJ, and founder of the record label and event concept @pintai. His musical work explores the intersection of energy and emotion, carefully crafting moments of unity on the dance floor. This mix showcases Hame’s unique talent for blending vibrant energy with heartfelt expression, making it a truly compelling addition to your listening experience. He approaches this set much like movie soundtrack, crafting a narrative with different chapters that, while distinct, come together seamlessly to create a captivating and immersive journey.

"The set ends with a track I made, built around words by Teig Sadhana about the vulnerability of men. It’s a subject that comes up often in my work as an applied psychologist, especially in conversations with boys and young men. Some carry unspoken thoughts - like feeling content with the idea of becoming a stay-at-home dad, or not pursuing traditional career ambitions. Sometimes about smaller subjects, like asking for help. Many describe pressure from society, or a lack of support from peers, when it comes to embracing less conventional paths.

I believe there’s a lot to gain, as a society, if men feel freer to speak about these thoughts. If being loved and respected is tied in the mind to career success, self-reliance and emotional toughness, it becomes difficult to let go of that framework. Historically, this mindset has been rewarded with status and security - but that doesn’t mean it’s something healthy for everyone to continue striving for.

We’re often comfortable talking about ambition, strength, and problem-solving - traits we’ve learned to view as charismatic or positive. But many of us were never taught how to speak openly about things that might be seen as weak or uncertain.

And yet, isn’t it one of the braver things - to show vulnerability in the face of discomfort or fear? Toughness can serve many purposes, but I think a more open and compassionate attitude among men toward vulnerability can help us become less protective of what’s been built in the world and in our minds, creating more space for everyone in society."

Deep Breakfast 311 ~ Hame

We asked friends of Stólar: What kind of music lives inside the A.Y.O.R.  Chair by Ron Arad? 
A chair made of polished steel and lead, its form evoking a tilting question mark. 
A chair that challenges the viewer to rethink the role of design. 

Listen to ORIONs answer - our friends from Italy present a one-hour soundtrack interpreting the spirit of this magnificent piece of design.

The Real Techno Group recently hosted this mix from me .......

Blurb.....Andy has been collecting electronic music and dancing into the mornings since the late 80s.  He's the ears and energy behind Verdant Recordings, a label supporting diverse music from new and established producers since 2016.  Latterly he teamed up with Jamie Exalt for their Vertex side project.   When "Overcast" from the forthcoming Rain on Window EP by Havantepe left a notable impression on the Real Techno group, Andy offered to record a set around this flavour of  techno - a sweet spot for his tastes in deeper sounds.  As Ulf & Ralf with a close friend, he's been dabbling with some productions and they contribute a remix on the Havantepe EP alongside Stojche.
