Samuel Rohrer live at Cochilo - Waking Life '23

"Across the expanse of time existed a place so rich in amphibious lifeforms that it continued to challenge and mystify its invaders well into the surrounding planetary transformation. An order of diviners had predicted this place would shapeshift, changing its identity and turning on those who continued to shelter in its dense core. However, that never happened. Even as the invaders seeked to halt, divert, and capture the place's energy arteries and flows, its integrity held, buoyed by the impossible fecundity of unruly life itself. The place's offspring penetrated the minds and paralyzed the bodies of the invaders themselves who realized that their brutal fetishes and charms would inevitably decompose. As that suffocating superstructure fell, its limbs were swallowed, becoming one with the very place it had sought to dismember and destroy."

When I told Roger 23 that I would be writing a piece to accompany his mix, he offered a single rule: “Keep it simple.” Often seen as a mysterious figure, my interactions with him revealed a generous and passionate artist, albeit with a distaste for self-promotion.

Operating from Saarbrücken, just a few kilometers from the French-German border, he has built a compact but impeccable discography over the past 20 years, with releases on Playhouse, Volt Musik (a label run by Swayzak, with whom he was long associated), and more recently Ilian Tape. His diverse sonic explorations as both musician and DJ defy categorization, which may explain why he isn’t as widely appreciated as he deserves.

From our very first conversations, he immediately asked if I had a guiding theme to propose for his mix. Knowing Roger 23’s versatility behind the decks, I saw an opportunity to challenge him by suggesting a slightly dystopian narrative framework, inspired by his strong affection for vinyl.

“In a near-future world ruled by an authoritarian technocracy, a campaign is launched to eradicate all physical music formats, forcing citizens to access only state-approved music through controlled online platforms. When a massive network collapse suddenly disrupts all streaming services, a group of rebellious misfits organizes a secret rave in an abandoned data center, playing records they’ve covertly preserved from their collections. As the warm-up DJ for the night, you decide to record your set, capturing the moment and preserving its memory for future generations.”

From the very first seconds, Roger 23 pulls us into this dark, futuristic world, tracing the evolution of electronic music over the last four decades. The cold concrete walls resonate with 80s German synth-pop, Psychic TV experiments, industrial oddities, and the sharp beats of Dopplereffekt, mesmerizing the sparse crowd of dancing bodies as if it were 2024. Be sure to save this mix on a USB drive and hide it away; you never know what the future may hold…

I first met Ben Cowper in Berlin at the Hypersoft party and it was no-brainer to ask him for a mix after hearing his superb b2b set DJ Teeth

INTERVIEW: https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/144_cowper_for_deeprhythms/

Ben, who goes by Cowper, is a DJ, record collector, and the mind behind Between Stations, a radio show that’s grown into a party and now a label. In this chat, we talk about his journey into music, the label’s vision, and the records that shaped him.

"I’m quite comfortable with playing slower, chuggy records. So I wanted to test myself by recording a faster vinyl only dance set. This is the result!"

This month's podcast features long time Innerflight inspiration Tom Of England.  The man has gone by many names over the years. Mammal, Welcome Stranger, (1/2) of Rub and Tug just to name a few... But none as recognizable and beloved as DJ Thomas of the legendary Wicked Crew. To call him an inspiration is putting it lightly as he may have been responsible for putting out the mixtape that changed EVERYTHING for certain members of Innerflight.  We have the honor and privilege of hosting him this Saturday, June 8th at the Monkey Loft for our Drop monthly.  Joining him on the decks are Innerflight residents J-Sun and Rhines. We'll also be celebrating both of their birthday at the shindig so come on down and help them party down proper for the occasion.

More info about the party here:
