People have their personal rituals. Leaving the International Space Station Russian space travelers left some bread and salt as a welcome gift for their American colleagues. Tennis star Serena Williams
bounces the ball exactly five times before her first serve. Our beloved master of ceremony of techno music, Sven Väth, has a ritual as well: When the shadows on the island Ibiza grow longer and the noise of the summer is about to fade away, he takes a couple of days off and reminisces the passing season, the parties, the crowds and the music: What were the craziest, the most outrageous, most beautiful moments? Which situations, which encounters inspired me? What did we laugh about? And of course: what was the best music? Which tracks accompanied me and my Cocoon People during those intense weeks? Väth assembles those magical tracks for the sixteenth time this year merging them into two and a half hour set. 

Väth´s second set takes off with Tim Green's "Eclipse": a happily boasting bassline leads us through a charming house groove. Alex Smoke transformed this curiosity into cockiness using vigorous acid sounds. Heartthrob breaks the playful energy with cool electronic sounds, which escalate into a furious snare drum thunderstorm. Tim Wright emerges further into inexhaustible deep space of electronic sounds, employing a screeching electro bassline with a twinkle in his eye. Deetron picks us up with overwhelmingly positive tribal sound and a beaming, unforgettable riff. With Bastinov Väth absorbs the emotional life of this track and adds more shades with fascinating violin sounds. Robert Hood
transforms Bastinovs thoughtfulness with a brilliant synthesizer figure into an electrifying soul. Väth does an utterly surprising u-turn with a song by Swedish cult band The Knife, merging Afro-American Soul into highly sensitive Indie. Geeemans very special way to modulate his voice is reminiscent of the "Ba Ba Bah, Aha ha ha" from Väth's own, legendary "Electrica Salsa". Now we are in the frenzy of the night, it is time for Techno. Gary Beck pulls us into another world with a powerful groove and an epic hookline, Pig & Dan condense this mood to give the message "Universal Love". "Warehouse Memories" brings back recollections of crazed parties in abandoned factories. Väth clears the madness with Alex Bau´s hypnotic, flowing grooves. Dimi Angelis sets a soulful final chord with a beautiful riff merging fragile violin sounds and a shrill 8-bit synth, so the set can fade away in a charmingly mellow piece of Petar Dundov.

The bread and the salt of the Russians is only a welcome gift. "The Sound of the 16th Season" unites past, present and future. Both CDs provide an opportunity to remember the best moments of the summer as the storms of autumn sweep around the houses. But it's not just about the past, but also about tomorrow: The rousing tracks make you looking forwforward to 2016: the dancing, the laughter, the sun, the beautiful people and the contented, generous smile our Sven!

A lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled ~ Buddha (563 - 483 BC)

After spending the first part of 2011 touring in the USA and Australia Mumbai Science bundled their newfound inspiration to bring you their newest EP on Lektroluv Records. The Lotus EP consists of two original tracks - ‘Lotus’ and ‘Panas’ -, serving as a perfect fix for your summer. While Lotus strikes with a sleazy - yet uplifting - bassline, Panas shines with its enchanting melodic hook. Still, both tracks share the typical Mumbai Science electro synths and techno feel. Think rolling drums, trippy melodies and a whole lotta sunshine!

Mumbai Science is mostly known for their club hits ‘Ancova’ and ‘Gold’, which are still widely supported by artists around the globe (from 2 many dj’s, Crookers and Erol Alkan to Boys Noize, Tiga and beyond). Recently, Mumbai Science finished remixes for Mixhell (Boys Noize Records) and Goose (!K7 Records). Now, they present their fourth EP on Lektroluv Records: Lotus EP.

Plastikman - EXpand (Tale Of Us Remix)

Following on from the well received various artists series ‘From the Lab to the Club’, MindTrip 09 sees the return of label boss, Pfirter, with 4 brand new tracks, which encapsulate MindTrip’s musical philosophy perfectly.
The sonic soundscape of ‘Otras Dimensiones’ opens proceedings, layering dark and ambient textures. Tension builds throughout the track and really sets the mood for this record.
Anticipation is finally rewarded by the opening bars of ‘Message 1’. The apparently laid back, dark bassline gives rise to high frequency colour which serves to make this track a building cauldron of devilry, which is unrelenting in its pursuit of evil. This is Pfirter at his brilliant best and demonstrates his inimitable style flawlessly.
The flip side of the EP picks up where the A side left off and opens with ‘Futoro Que No’. The minimal, dancefloor sounds of this eerie track are perfect for the dankest and grimiest of settings.
The final track, ‘Casus Belli’ is a driving statement of refusal to compromise. A powerful, dancefloor techno track whose rich analogue sounds blend together deep, fascinating layers and textures, hypnotising the listener as it ebbs and flows.
 
This is MindTrip!

MT09 - Message 1 - Soon out on MindTrip.

Get it here: http://btprt.dj/1j96pHe

Is the doctrine of the mind fully contained within the physical brain? Or are there places that we can traverse, places between places, that exist outside of ourselves and the consensual reality we all seem to inhabit? Close your eyes and just try it for a second. You may be surprised where you go…

Exploring this theme of journeying beyond our strict sense of self, label mates and friends Tale of Us and Mind Against have joined together once again to create a work that works, fittingly, well past the summation of it’s parts. Playing with tension and release and a restrained but expressive sonic palate that paints a picture without words, these accomplished artists from the Life and Death team bring us to a place that seems to surely exist. Even if we might not be able to pinpoint exactly where that is.

Since first bursting on to the scene a few years ago now thanks to his affiliation with Luciano's Cadenza imprint, Lee van Dowski has quickly emerged as one of Switzerland's most treasured and consistent house exports. For his latest release he lands on Crosstown Rebels sub-label Rebellion for the release of his 'high hitting' ‘Quasar 27.3' EP and we have to say it's a cracker. 

Offering up four cuts of serious distinction the release is an exercise in versatility, showcasing the Geneva based producer's multi-faceted take on house, packing expertly snipped vox, entrancing percussion and bags of emotion into one slickly delivered EP. Our pick of the bunch? Why 'If Only Jack Was Here' of course! We'll readily admit that we're as in the dark as you are as to who Jack is and why he's so missed but we guess that's for Lee to know and us to find out. As shadowy as it is intense, it makes for the most cinematic of openers, leading listeners into the EP with aplomb. 

Expect to hear plenty more of this one as the nights begin to drawn in...

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.
