Far from the Techno capitals of Europe, Azim Fathi has been carving out a niche for electronic music in his Iranian homeland for years. His love of sound has given birth to Paraffin, a record label and event series pioneering the very best of Persian talent. Faced with a raft of government restrictions and foreign sanctions which would make many a promoter balk, passion is fuel to Fathi’s mission to bring people together. For Podcast 101, he gives us a glimpse into Tehran’s electronic underground: stripped down, contemplative and dreamy.

Following the success of last year’s critically acclaimed album Puzzles, which these past months received standout remixes from Justin Strauss and Kasper Bjørke himself, the next reimagining is here. 

This time, it’s from none other than Berlin underground luminary Johannes Albert, a driving force in the contemporary house and Italo disco scene.

Albert’s remix of Conversations featuring Icelandic trio Sísý Ey (also known as Systur) showcases the finesse of an experienced producer. 

He masterfully preserves the emotional weight of the track’s strong vocal melody while reimagining it with a Cologne-inspired blend of house and techno melancholy. The result is a late-night and early-morning anthem, primed for dancefloor transcendence.
Albert revealed that during an early test run of the remix in a club setting, the reaction among the crowd was unmistakable: lighters held high on the dancefloor, a signal that he was on to something special.

We had the great pleasure to contribute with our track "Daydreaming" to the charity compilation project WorldWideWindow on Enisslab together with other 55 great artists.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross and help them fight COVID-19.

In light of the current Covid-19 Pandemic Studio Enisslab headed up by Italian DJ / Producer and Live Act Neel has announced the release of a very special 56 track charity compilation project, fundraising for The Red Cross, who are working extremely hard alongside health services internationally that are feeling the effects of the corona-virus outbreak the most right now.

This special release features over 6 hours of previously unreleased and unheard material, where an all star cast of artists were encouraged to share music that reflects this time we are living in.

Neel, who is one half of live duo Voices From The Lake, and LF58 speaks out on behalf of the initiative, organised in collaboration with improvised live project Circle Of Live, and visual art collective Sbagliato. He explains:

“In this situation we all need to look after each other and this project is a start. I wanted to reach as many people as possible to spread this message, so I started to share the idea personally with lots of artists and the response was amazing. I wanted them to take their time with whichever tools they had available at home to produce some music that reflects this time we are living in, a contribution for this special project and to portray a special message.”

The project’s cover art image brought to you by visual art collective Sbagliato shows pictures of windows of houses and studios taken by the artists themselves: 56 musicians, 56 windows, 56 tracks shape a new place of sharing.

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
