A08 (https://soundcloud.com/africaine-808)

Carribean, jazz, afro, reggae the full spectrum of world music sophisticated and ingenious fused with electronica. A08 is the brainchild of the two Berliners Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad. Formerly known as "AFRICAINE 808" – the studio/live music project with an album and various EPs on NYC’s Golf Channel Recordings and Vulcandance.

AFRICAINE 808 started as an experiment where the two succeeded in the amalgamation of rhythmic world music heritage with the zeitgeist and aesthetics of electronic dance music.
After ten successful years touring the globe as a live music project, a praised double album, 5 EPs and remix work for legends like Tony Allen, Amadou & Mariam among many others, the two decided to re-invent their sound for a new album, exploring Jazz and Caribbean music among their "classic" working genres of electronic world dance music.
For the production, A08 included an illustrious crowd of guests into the band line-up, featuring artists from Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Trinidad and Germany.
The outcome is "Waiting for Zion", a double album that will be released on Compost Records in winter 2023.
As a live P.A. A08 are performing either as a Soundsystem with Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad playing live and DJing, or as a live act with live percussion.

Info:

Here comes the first of three remix packages for A08’s “Waiting For Zion” album.
The peruvian maestros Dengue Dengue Dengue! present a highly energetic broken beat rework of “Nineoneone” with a tropical twist. 
Nerk, musician and co-founder of Berlin’s supergroup Toktok delivers a brilliantly crafted uptempo electro dub version of „Yamahaica". 

Dengue Dengue Dengue! is a musical duo of electronic music from Peru established in Lima, made up of Rafael Pereira and Felipe Salmon. The highly contagious duo have brought a new level of tropical madness to the cumbia world, fusing modern production savvy with traditional rhythms. Their early tracks caught the ears of bloggers and DJs around the world but it wasn’t until their 2012 debut album, La Alianza Profana, that they really received worldwide recognition. Together with the Auxiliar Collective, they have cornered the market in neon tropical bass exports.

Nerk, aka Benjamin Weiss, a member of the legendary Berlin rave act Tok Tok has a long, extensive history in the techno community. As well as a writer for formerly leading German music magazine De:Bug, he has a long recording history collaborating with Dirk Leyers on Kompakt, Klang, V-Records and many remixes to his credit.

Michael Reinboth’s first ever release under his real name. After early Beanfield productions, circa 20 remixes (some old ones labelled simply Compost Remixes), more than 30 compilations and 30+ years of running Compost, a few 12”s under alter egos, the Compost boss decides to liberate the alias and mystic.
“Let The Spirit” is a kinetic cover version of a house classic, released way back in time on Ron Trent’s legendary Prescription imprint. It has no samples, everything is self-programmed and produced in team play with Jan Krause (Beanfield). The flipside brings us the trippy “RS6 Avant” which comes in two versions. The Cosmic Version is a invite to float over the Landstraße (or the dancefloor with eyes closed in the late night hours). And as Michael loves to drive fast too, he decided to add the Club Version - a much more energetic take with which works a treat on peak time dancefloors (and the Autobahn of course). 

Watch out for more Michael Reinboth releases 2024.

Liu Bei - Atlas World (Solomun Day  Remix)

No gimmicks, no clicks, no clichés. This is the mantra of SevenDoors. A passion for music is evident, carefully crafting audio with feeling and emotion. SevenDoors is very much a concept, developed over many years and now ready to be unleashed upon the dance community.
Made with real feeling, today’s exclusive premiere is entitled “Movement Of Whale”. Solomun has already been playing this one at the Diynamic Festivals and with its elastic beats and groaning bass it is a real show stopper.

The efforts of Hayze on Noir Music have been very fruitful so far. Mesmerizing hits like “Around” and “Angel”, were both brought into this world in collaboration with the label’s head honcho Noir. Being no stranger to the label, time has come for a debut solo release by Hayze.

Everyone, sooner or later, experiences a life-changing moment. Some of these moments have a modest impact; other moments change your whole perspective on things. These are the points in life that make a difference. Overthrowing and surviving a life-threatening disease made Haze change his name to Hayze, by advice from his father. Same guy, same heart, same talent, but a different identity ready for the next chapter. Making “Brighter Days” not only his first solo project after his turning point, but an important and meaningful release for many more reasons.

Hayze about “Brighter Days”:
“Brighter Days” comes from a true place in my heart as with all my records. It’s about finding light in the dark times; about hope, having faith in music and realizing the power of dance…
“Sometimes you gotta be singing, singing, singing the blues away. Sometimes you gotta be dancing, dancing, dance in the rainy days” – Hayze

The original mix is deep with a lush synth riff as its main hook, laced over a phat rolling bass line underneath a bed of beats that have little nuances of effects and subtle percussion that come in and out without it feeling repetitive. The vocals are classic Hayze, deep, meaningful and melodic with hints of melancholy.

UK star Huxley shines on remix duties for this one. Taking elements from the original synth riff, he manages to capture a whole different vibe with the record, with strings and pianos complementing an uplifting dramatic breakdown coming straight into a garage style bass line that is vibrant and fresh overall with head nodding beats. It’s one to watch out for.

Rain or shine, music never stops.
Brighter Days.

Solomun - Somebody's Story

Watergate welcome back two of Hamburg’s finest and most recent international exports: Adana Twins. Last seen on their latest Various Artists compilation, the duo returns with three absolutely stunning tracks of low slung, infectious cuts blurring the lines between House and Techno with an undeniable brush stroke of character the two are quickly becoming synonymous for.

‘Flower Of Cane’ kicks things off in an almost sinister fashion with massive low end bursts and a fever inducing, single note that never stops rising culminating in a climactic crescendo of dance floor euphoria while ‘Ortus’ takes a much more ‘up-beat’ approach with dreamy arpeggios and shimmering atmospherics laid over a pulsing bassline resulting in a gorgeous number ideal for a number of memorable moments.

Wrapping up the originals is the guaranteed summer anthem: 'Relentless fest. Jeppe Kjellberg’ where sultry vocals and lush aural artifacts launch sensations to uncharted new heights. Not done yet, we asked none other than the brilliant Andre Lodemann to create his revision of ‘Relentless feat. Jeep Kjellberg’ and he, as always, delivered big time. With not only one but two solid reworks of the original Lodemann’s remixes need no description other than there is a vocal and a dub version to satisfy any DJ’s sensibility. We hope you enjoy.

Mind Against are back on Afterlife with two emotive, dancefloor masterpieces. ‘Walking Away’, featuring the deeply-affecting vocals of Port St. Willow, centers around uplifting harmonic elements and a resonant drum pattern. It strikes that special balance of light and dark which makes Mind Against’s tracks uniquely cathartic. ‘Bloom’ is more a melancholy, downtempo interpretation of their vision. The percussion is restrained and sits deep below atmospheric pads and piano chords, eventually arriving at a gradual and subtle peak. Mind Against reach euphoric heights once again, though this time by a patient and reflective path.

Mind Against - Walking Away

In every place, music can find a home. But in order to really experience music, you have to actually go to the rooms that were especially designed for it. In those sacred rooms, music can actually get to people.
And the desire for it has never been greater. The desire to feel it, experience it, hear it, to share it with people. HOME reminds us of these moments. Of the things we miss.

HOME will be the first single of my upcoming album, which will be released in early 2021.
