TIMEWHEEL RADIO SHOW #102 | NUMATIK

A personal exploration, based on surrealism 

-Explorimental Genres - 

In appreciation of the smallest detail. 
With this album, Badub brings the honey into your ear. Bees have collected different kinds of nectar from various places back from your childhood. They don’t care what flavor it is - all goes into one big blob, which goes into the melting pot. As a result, the music can taste like any direction. It’s a nice place, where everything flows into everything else – just like honey does – even the song structure. It’s just a beautiful mess. Hopefully this ends peacefully. 
Which places does this album take YOU? 

-- About Badub --

The multi-musician that seems to have appeared from a distant fantasy world rather than from northern Germany, will always look for a way to release your inner child. Among his listeners, Badub is known for a diverse mix of genres. As he says, the boundaries of genres could be inflicted with his creativity. And so he abandoned the idea of any rules that might be given to music. With his brave curiosity, Badub will aspire towards new horizons in the name of harmony. This music is not short of musicality though. Badub's Fantasy Jazz seems to organically float into one's ears, touching spots you might have long forgotten about. Cheerful, with a spark of amazedness are we listening to the kind-hearted melodies. Recording Guitar, Bass and Keys, using samples and synths, the sound magician from Hamburg (we will believe he is, for now) creates songs which provoke phantastic memories, forgotten adventures and driving curiosity within us. 

Recognized as a milestone in music history, Badub was present at the burning mountain festival (Switzerland), about 8 years ago, where he had the sudden opportunity to perform live. "I've played songs from my phone onto the function 1, and everybody thought i'm a real DJ." is what he says when he speaks out about the glorious first days of his vivid live career.

Gea on Spotify: to come

Born and raised in Rome, in the shadows of the great masters of classical art forms, Francesco Luigi Lenci began his musical journey at the ripe age of nine with an interest in rock and reggae and the development of piano and guitar skills. Like so many of us, by 17 years-old, he had fallen in with the jungle, hip-hop, and techno crowd, fostering an obsession with synthesizer and computer music that persists to this day. He would go on to spend several years earning degrees in sound design/engineering and music technologies at the famed Italian Institute of Music Technologies, then subsequently moved to the electronic mecca of Berlin in 2012, where his passion took root in a multi-prong assault on speakers worldwide.

As a wizard of mixing and mastering at his own Re:set Studio, he mixed Italian contemporary jazz trio Chat Noir's 2014 full-length Elec3cities for RareNoise Records, produced and performed on an '80s influenced ballad by Ryan Paris, and recorded and mastered the tripped-out jazz record Impermanence by Steintiger for Unit Records, among other projects. However, it's in his own work that he truly indulges his aural fantasies.

His glitch-hop and dubstep-tinged live sets have been the highlight of festivals such as Freqs of Nature, Odyssee, Modem, Feel, Electropolis, and Italofest, while his remixes and original works under the names of Cooked Audio and Re:set have been released by labels like Adapted, Sostanze, Looney Moon Experiment, Rub-A-Duck, Only Good Shit, Restylers, Subculture, Irma, Another Chance, Ammunition, Heavy Bassweight, and Stupid Fly Records. That's quite a resume on its own, but there is now a cherry on that sunday.

His latest release, and Addictech debut, Gea puts all of Francesco's experience and talent on full display in four slices of downtempo happiness pie. "Biosphera" sets the tone with its shimmering, percolating atmosphere, creating an overwhelming sense of space as it rolls along, a wordless vocal manipulation forming a kind of prayer to the bass gods, while "Nautilus" creeps in ominously with its growling bass and subtle swells of brass, pushing the tempo up to a low-key breakbeat with a hard kick and snappy snare that is framed by tastefully funky guitar. 

The title track is arguably the EP's most dramatic and sophisticated piece. Sparse and slowly evolving yet captivatingly cinematic, the interplay of its crisp, bubbly production and seething menace comes off like a dreamed collaboration between DJ Hidden and Tipper.

"Poseidon" closes the EP with an ode worthy of the ancient God of the Sea. It unfolds with rising blobs of bass and liquid spatters giving way to a deep, sluggish beat smothered in guttural subbass and snarling lower frequency manipulations, punctuated by inhaling breaths and waves of modulated claps, and graced by a delicately tinkling melody.

Put all these tracks together, and you have a compelling case as to why Francesco Luigi Lenci is one of the most mind-bending bass producers in the game today.

DJ Maggie carefully curates the best of downtempo electronic into lush, playful and deeply replenishing sets that invite listeners on shimmering audio odysseys. Whether leading flights to the depth of the heart or the outer dimensions of the cosmos, Maggie pilots music masterfully as a multi-dimensional tool—for joy enhancement, energy boosting, community building, a safe space for retreat, a salve for helping heal pain, or a focus-enhancing medium to optimize creativity or productivity.

Evolving her own brand of intuitive sound at the legendary Southern California desert gatherings of the groundbreaking Moontribe Collective and other conscious parties and festivals, Maggie soon established a reputation for her heart-expanding sonic rides. This eventually propelled her into the path of her current collaborations with esteemed downtempo artist and producer, Bluetech (Evan Bartholomew) and their labels Behind the Sky and  Over the Moon. Her first compilation, a 2xLP entitled ‘Matters of the Heart,’ was released in June 2021 on Behind The Sky, and she began releasing through Over the Moon in October 2021.

*~A personal note from me to you~*

People tell me amazing stories about how the music has touched them, and for that I'm eternally grateful. It's the main reason I keep doing this - human connection through the universal language of music.

You'll find mixes here to stream or download that are comprised of some of my favorite downtempo tracks, ever. Some are super-mellow and ready to accompany your bedtime/meditation/ snuggle session, while others might be happy to ride along on your next road trip. I post a tracklist on every mix. For mixes that are grouped together by energy level or theme, check out my playlists.

See links below for other places to find me. I'm also a digital artist (all mix graphics are made by me) and nature photographer, for example...or message me for more info, or to share your thoughts :)
