Gorgeous mix, experimentation and concept Tahl @loketsounds <3

I've just found this and it is incredible. Decades of amazing mind music woven together with the sax.

Fell asleep in the day to this mix in the cool breeze yesterday it was divine 💜

process cast - order

When we thought of turning this space into an access point for our audience to become acquainted with the immense contingent of fresh names doing fantastic things at the moment, it stemmed from the feeling of deeply missing one of the most cherished elements of our physical events: the future-nurture rooms where the public could get to know them face to face and enjoy their creations. That environment was special to us because there we could provide the kind of care all talent needs in order to blossom, an opportunity to showcase the tomorrow of our scene. However, since our physical manifestations are impossible at the moment, we decided to bring this dear endeavour of ours into the online realm and make an open call for mixes. And of course we expected it to garner some attention, but the response surpassed our wildest expectations, giving us not only a rewarding idea of how much we are trusted, but especially a good glimpse of what a fantastic new generation of selectors is out there, ready to be discovered by the public. Kickstarting these special series, we are happy to present a wonderful selector whose musical offering took us on such an enthralling ride that we felt compelled to share so you can all enjoy it:  Apartamento 21 resident and Bongosynth affiliate Mary Roman.

One for the submersible crew, GGHQ Mix no.73 breezing and bubbling through. 

Our Berlin buddy and Celtic soul brother Jank Inc. supplying us with 70+ minutes of lefthand electrics of all shades and persuasions. One of the founders of Berlin club night and record label 'Pace Yourself', Jack has been out there transmitting for a wee while now. We've played at his heady club night at Paloma in the past, where a disgusted German woman stormed out of the club midway through the majestic Red Zone remix of Will Downing's 'The world is a ghetto' stating that it was 'the most offensive thing' she'd ever heard, followed by a near sunday morning war with the denizens of Görlitzer Park. All in all - we knew were kindred with the Pace Yourself mob that weekend. Only right then, that Jack should come aboard the good ship GG for a mix. 

Jack's mix is deep, subtle, atmospheric and introspective. The perfect music to drift to, all lovingly put together on a recent visit to his mother's house in Scotland. If you've tuned in to any of his Refuge Worldwide shows, or attended any of his underground events, then you know already. We're happy to present this one, get lost in it. You'll like it.

The Early Bird Show w/ PAM 270325

Icaros of the Desert Sky is a ceremonial trance journey by Leeuwenstein, inspired by the ancient Shipibo healing tradition, desert mysticism, and feminine voices that guide the soul into dissolution and rebirth.
Each track is a living icaro, woven from hypnotic basslines, tribal percussion, sacred chants, and subtle Arabic influences. The music carries you into a sacred space where geometry becomes sound, where water flows into fire, and where the boundaries of the self dissolve into infinite vibration.
This album is meant for deep journeys, ceremonies with plant medicine, and trance states of inner exploration. Close your eyes, surrender to the rhythm, and let the tapestry of sound carry you beyond time.

Night Never Forgotten (Original Mix)

Little Town Sleeps No More

Perila -  Irresistible Presence

Opening Class - Yoga Conference Germany 2018

Length: 75min
Style: rolling, groovy deephouse, uplifting
Tempo 100 – 110 bpm 

Structure:
55min beat
20min for finishing poses, deep relaxation and savasana/meditation 

The Opening event of the Yoga Conference is always very special and clearly a class of celebration to welcome all the students, teachers and to kick of into the fantastic weekend. Therefor its generally quite uplifting and since it normally an approx. 60min class, moves pretty quickly into warriors and standing positions, leading up to a peak point at around 45min, before going back to the ground with more subtle, beatless sounds and finishing of with savasana. The music is designed to serve this structure. 

Special notice: This music in these opening ceremonies tends to build up quicker as the class is shorter but also the time on the floor at the end is a little longer then usual.

This class is designed with approx. 75min, including savasana. Leaving enough time for talks, breaks for demonstrations, silence for guided meditation etc. It can also used for a 60min class as its calms down at around 45min already, no more beats after 52min. 

If you prefer using the tracks separately, here is the tracklist. Please support the artist where you can and buy the music on the designated platforms (bandcamp, beatport etc). Namaste!

I am so excited to share the latest, and most unique, Deep Mind Music entry. This mix, by my good friend Tahl, has been in the works for a long time. A mixtape of 100% saxophonic versions & originals which is the first manifestation of Tahl’s new alias for saxophonic exploration - loket.

A member of Berlin's Power Play collective, Tahl debuted the combination of live saxophone played over ambient music at the intimate confines of Power Play’s foggy chill out room. Tahl first proposed the idea of this mix to me back in April, and throughout lockdown he has been chipping away at it, keeping me updated as it has slowly evolved from a loose initial concept into a fully formed immersive journey. 

Taking the listener through flurries of arpeggios, introspective poetry, delicate piano, vulnerable vocals, and lush, sunlit pads, the mix resonates on a tender, personal level. A story told through prescient programming between tracks and sonic palettes, it subtly ebbs and flows between different emotional states. Throughout the mix the free flowing saxophone jams flitting between the tracks take you far, far away, adding a soft trippy fluidity to the edges of the soundscape. By the end of the mix you are totally submerged in effervescent mind-melting deepness.

I’m so grateful to loket for putting together this truly special entry, and I hope you enjoy listening to it, and find as much solace, peace and catharsis in it as I have.

Some words from loket about the mix: 

This project started in many ways in a dank room in what is now a demolished squat in Lichtenberg Berlin at a Power Play Rave in the middle of 2019. Empowered by an unreasonable Funktion One Soundsystem flush inside of our chill out room, I experimented with playing live modulated saxophone for the first time. 

I was shaking so intensely I could barely blow air through the horn. But when what I played was channeled through my computer and out into the audience, the power of the sound, and of the moment, was sickening. Since then I’ve spent many hours honing and sculpting and experimenting to try and bring that feeling “to tape”.

I can’t stress enough how much of this project has been an exercise in moving forward slowly while having mostly no idea what I’m doing. I’m sure i broke every “rule” imaginable in recording and processing the saxophone on this mix. Maybe that is somewhat reassuring to those of you who also feel burdened by the glossy perfection and successes seemingly surrounding us at all times.

It’s also an exercise in reconnection. In patience. I stopped playing saxophone entirely in 2010 because I felt inadequate in my jazz skill. I haven’t practiced “a lick” in 10 years. I barely remember basic scales. But by revisiting the saxophone many years later through a more imaginative and electronic production lens, I’ve been able to move closer to creating the voice I always wanted to make.

@francaplays - Germany.

Bienvenidos al primer ecos del 2021; you are in for a treat.

Drawn by her energetic, creative and groove-driven mindset, we've had Franca on our wishlist almost since we created the mix series. She radiates pure ingenuity and craft when playing on the fringes of downtempo, house and techno. 

The mix includes four of her own tracks and it's all and beyond what you would expect from the talented Kater Blau resident. 

You can appreciate her producer work on labels like URSL, feines Tier and more recently Kiosk I.D.
