NLSM003 Derek Carr

A to the K aka Amadeus K sends the next astronomical guidepost for the LIS information center. We met him on the @themuddshow Stream and catched him due to his filthiest selection of electronic 4/4 weapons. Fortunately now he delivered another recording which pump up your dancing veins. In addition, his nickname is AK4/4 and he is one of the owners from Molar Records based in Berlin. 
Thanks to Amadeus K for this straight and partyable mix!

Yamen & EDA (Maison Mere, Elephant Moon)

The French city of Montpellier has long possessed an obsession with all things electronic music. At the forefront of this scene is Yamen & EDA.
Friends since childhood, the pair possess an almost telepathic understanding behind the decks and in the studio, a way of working that’s brought them to the attention of some of contemporary house and techno’s most renowned imprints and dancefloors.

Having officially kicked off as a duo in 2011, Yamen & EDA’s ascendency has been an impressive one. Theirs is a story however, that goes much further back. Raised on a solid musical diet of minimal house and techno, the pair’s formative years were spent on the many dancefloors of the south of France, experiences that still inspire their music to this very day.

Best friends and ardent musical lovers with a penchant for similar styles and techniques, it was only ever a matter of time before Yamen & EDA solidified their friendship through music. Quickly getting down to business in the studio, their inaugural releases hinted at great promise, eventually bringing them to the attention of One Records boss, Adam Shelton. Always keen to foster fledgling talent, Shelton has signed numerous Yamen & EDA releases to his imprint and even had the boys join him at One Records showcases in London at fabric, Sonar in Barcelona and at Below in Birmingham.

The relationship is one that’s since brought the pair to the attention of numerous other labels, with Earlydub and LAATE among those who’ve housed their talents. What’s more, their music has been played along the way by some of the scene’s foremost players, with Raresh, Petre Inspirescu and Apollonia all lending their support. 

2018, however, is the year that Yamen & EDA are set to go it alone courtesy of their own Maison Mere label. A vinyl-only affair that kicked off recently courtesy of the auspicious ‘Retrospect’ EP, the label promises to promote a wide range of contrasting electronic sounds. “A platform to collect and release music without any limits”, it’s indicative of an altogether exciting new chapter in the already emphatic careers of Yamen & EDA. With further releases to come on John Dimas’ always on-point Elephant Moon label as well as a return to One Records in the works, 2018 already looks set to be a defining year for one of France’s most exciting duos.

Skylab Radio - Episode 2 of 4 - Jan 2022

Next up for our Sesssions podcast is Colombian producer & DJ, Craftsmanship. We premiered his track ‘Just Cruising’ off his That Girl EP on Miura Records a couple weeks ago and we needed to hear a mix.

Craftsmanship began his dj career at an early age in his hometown Cali and later relocated to Medellin after taking a long break. There he began his journey as a producer and connected with fellow artists Camilo Do Santos & AFM. This led to opportunities to play in Medellin’s top nightclubs such as Salon Amador, Calle 9+1, Club 1984, and Mansion Club.

Craftsmanship’s sound whether it be his productions or dj sets draws influences from the blues, jazz, hip-hop, and lofi. You’ll find his releases on Pogo House Records, Inhale Exhale, Hustler Trax, theBasement Discos, and other labels. Now residing on the white sandy beaches of Cancun, Mexico, he is fully dedicated to his craft and passion, house music.

In the new episode of Night Lovers mixes, we are pleased to present the mix of our friend and vinyl selector Forgotten Disco Star. Anatoliy currently lives in Germany and has been involved in music, collecting records, and working on his own record store @soundhoundrecordstore for many years.

In this mix of street soul, downtempo, AOR, synth pop and house, Anatoly was inspired by his favorite compilations of his youth from early 2000s, such as LateNiteTales and Back To Mine. Rare finds that perfectly complement each other, you can literally fly away. 
Perfect work.
For morning coffee and summer walks.

CasaSolana Vol.1

Dishing up an extended all-spice-mix from local hot saucier @lava-brain. Prepare for some genuine mind realignment with 3.5 hours of mesmerisingly deep heat!

Q. Hey Eric, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Thanks for having me! I don’t know if there was a conscious thought so much, but lots of music to either get you in a meditative mood or moving depending on how you’re feeling. I guess there are definitely a lot of elements from the 90s Bristol scene threaded through the mix in one way or another. That trip hop/down tempo sound was really a big gateway into a lot of electronic music for me and it’s what I was listening to a lot of when I first started DJing. ‘Bass is Maternal’ by Smith & Mighty was a really big record for me; bringing together a lot of trip hop, dub, bass, breakbeat and jungle sounds, which feature in a lot of tracks in the mix.    

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart?

Definitely! There’s a mix of some older favs like 'Transient' by Mr G, 'Tokyo Dawn' by Doc Scott & a Smith & Mighty tune. 'The Edgelands' by Rings Around Saturn has definitely had its fair share of listens over the years for me too. There's also a bunch of newer tracks, lots of local favourites & just music that inspires me. 
One tune which I hold especially close would have to be Delano Smith’s ‘The Rock’. I remember hearing it for the first time and I still find it hard not to get hypnotised by it. The vocal sample about universal unity is also pretty groovy :)

Q. Tell us what’s the latest with the visual aspect of your Lava Brain project? How would you describe your approach?

A. It’s been really great to get more opportunities to work on the live visuals & projection mapping part of my practice recently and to focus on it 100% at a party. 

In terms of my approach to integrating the two, with every event there are so many different elements that need to work together to make it a success. I think it's really about creating an awesome experience, working together with the music and space to compliment each other and help curate a mood. Working with different collectives or venues is always interesting, as all the elements change including the physical space and I enjoy the design process; usually starting with the logical side of the ‘how’ will this technically work and then the ‘what’ in terms of creative content. 

I guess I try to tap into my own feelings when designing an install or content and ask myself something like ‘How would this make me feel in the context of the party, music and space and what’s the intention we as a collective are trying to curate?’ I’m also starting to expand my setup, experimenting with mapping a small wireless midi controller to be able to still be able to control the visuals while being away from the laptop and part of the party, letting me further tap into those intuitive feelings. 

Currently I’m working on a visual instalment for Ferdydurke’s 11th birthday on August 12th and have been working with some new projection materials, experimenting with sheer fabrics to project a succession of images above the dancefloor to give a sort of floating holographic tunnel effect. For the event I’m also working on building a motorised lighting sculpture for the entrance to the venue, which is something new for me. 
In parallel, I’m working on some grant applications and starting to look for sponsorships for a multi-day projection art and music series I’m working on, in collaboration with the Section 8 crew. With all going to plan, that should be happening mid-next year. 
Other than that, continuing to learn, play and experiment, currently I’m starting to teach myself Touch Designer to expand that side of my creative practice and just always staying open to new projects and collaborations :)

Jane Fitz - 27 October 2020

Carving out his own unique voice within house music for the past 25 years, Titonton Duvante's sound is refined, appealing as equally to the old school house music fans as it does the new. A master of his art, his passion and knowledge help to set him apart from others with a blend of electronic music that celebrates the past, present and future of house music, keeping himself firmly at the forefront of the scene both as a DJ and producer and with his own Residual Recording label.

Deep grooves and fresh, funky rhythms are the order of the day in mix 227 for our series - in what feels like an effortless example of Duvante's acclaimed skills in the booth.
