Doogie Mustard - LABEL SPOTLIGHT on AH Digital (Part 2)

Luka Sambe, from Sydney, Australia, is a prominent figure in underground dance music. However, his singles, compilation appearances, and a solo easy-listening album, 'The Fundamental Transience of Everything' on Armadillo Records, showcased his remarkable skills in Electronica. His new 3-track release is a deep dive into the artist's psyche, delving into the depths of the subconscious mind.

The opening track, 'Water In A Wineglass,' is the perfect introduction, delivering drama and abstraction. Exciting elements of the structure sound like a tape played in reverse, contrasting the light-hearted melody and proving that there are no limits in the genre and that innovations in electronic music are always possible.

The second piece, 'Vincentia,' presents a larger-than-life theme, exposing modern composition with timeless components that could serve as a movie soundtrack. Unlike the compressed sound, appearing in his dance tracks, Luka opts for the full dynamic range, delivering an incredible crescendo in the third part of the arrangement.

The final piece, 'Tucked In,' provides a brilliant conclusion to this conceptually rich material, leaving thoughts to ponder while still leaving enough space for the listener to desire more.

In conclusion, Luka Sambe offers a mesmerizing journey showcasing his unparalleled skills and pushing the boundaries of the genre with each track!

Reviews:
"An album you must hear" Raveline, Germany
"A remarkable album" Groove, Germany
"A coming of age release" www.residentadvisor.com
"Will be referred to as a break-through album, as well as a genre proving album for the underground." www.365.com "This is a sprawling, indefinable record packed with throbbing techno beats, moody atmospherics, sparkling digital harmonies, acid squelches and sparse melodic landscapes -
in a nutshell, it's the type of record you need to immerse yourself in." M8 Magazine.
"It's Fortier in multi-layered experimental mode taking in house, minimal and electro along the way." IDJ Magazine
"A sublime slice of digital electro funk" IDJ Magazine
"This is a wicked collection of deep, minimal, electro, acidic and dirty house...it's sublime" One Week to Live
Magazine
"Surprisingly lies in house’s outer reaches, revealing Fortier’s heretofore artistic depth. As Long As traverses the spectrum of tech-focused palettes to culminate in a truly electro-psyhedelic 4/4-driven experience." XLR8R Magazine, USA "it pulses, it undulates, it controls and it mercifully relents." Big Shot Magazine, USA

Chris Fortier releases his highly anticipated debut solo album “As Long as the Moment Exists” via Australia’s finest independent label EQ Recordings. After a long list of accomplishments that has seen him do nearly everything possible in dance music, Chris conquors the final personal goal of an artist album of his own material. This comes straight from the heart and sees the man spread his wings to become a true artist beyond his fame as a DJ.
The Album took all of 2006 to complete, and all tracks have been tweaked and sublimely edited to ensure the best possible sonic journey into deep sounds. ”As Long as the Moment Exists” explores underground sounds and electronic influences, with an experimental twist. At a glance the excursion starts with ambient sound-scapes before shifting to mid-tempo territory and quirky electronic cuts with searing minimalistic dips through dubby tech house and twisted melodic trips, before winding things back with chilled out vibes to round off an accomplished foray into electronica.
As a producer, Chris Fortier has released over 40 original productions, and remixed countless more. Most notably in 1998, scoring an international dance hit with his original reworking of Delerium’s “Silence.” His remix discography reads like a who’s who of dance music at any one time, while his Fade label continues to be regarded as one of the most respected and consistent dance labels in the USA. To those that know Fortier’s history, they know to expect plenty more to come, for those that are just getting initiated... Welcome!

1.	Hi, Chris!  Thanks for checking in with We Are Machine!  Where and when was this mix recorded?

I recorded this set early in January 2018 at a secret warehouse location.

2.	What specifically made this gig stand out for you?  What made it special?

Any time you can play into the late night and early morning with an embracing crowd, you get those special moments.

3.	What was your approach heading into the gig?  How did you prepare?

My preparation for each gig is the same week in and week out.  I put in a lot of time going through promos and searching for tracks that are interesting and fit into any parts of my extended sets.  I think that’s what takes so much time now – narrowing down your music to have cohesive and strong choices.  Once I’m at the gig and about to start, I find that first track to transition from the DJ before (if there is one) and go with it and let the music and crowd lead me somewhere.

4.	What are some of your key tracks in this mix?

This is an early part of my set with the first 2 hours showcasing deep vibes and building on top with each record.  There are a few of my own productions in this mix including my remix (as Cool Gold with Stephen Wilson) of Phoenix “Rise Up” out now on the Tactal Hots label.  Also included, is an original track (“Lost Letters”), which is in collaboration with Andromo and soon out on Culprit. And, there are other remixes of mine in there too – Slumber “Temple” (Chris Fortier Fully Executed Remix) forthcoming on Motek, and one for Prophetts on my own Fade Records.

5.	Looking ahead, what are some key dates coming up on your schedule and what projects are you lining up for 2018?

I’m looking forward to spending 2018 playing only the shows I really want to play and to cut down on gigs that are less memorable.   I would rather play less, but more meaningful gigs, than just filling my calendar up.

Chris Fortier @ AMH - Asheville, NC January 5, 2019

With 20 years of experience at the forefront of the underground scene, DJ Samer is to progressive house what strawberries are to cream: utterly essential! His label, Pangea Recordings continues to build on his legacy being charted and played continually by the scenes elite DJ. And the no signs of slowing down, DJ Samer is in the prime of his life right now.

Like many in the underground dance community, Samer Salhab’s musical journey began with a place: Club Simon’s in Gainesville, Florida. For the bright-eyed young music fanatic, Club Simon’s acted as a catalyst for his passion for underground House music, fueled by discovering a world of super talented artists and a new desire to collect their tracks and weave sonic stories of his own through DJing. After hard work and tons of practice, things started to come together for Samer. He left Gainesville for Tampa to finish his education, but took his love for dance music with him. His growing collection of House, Progressive, and Trance began to form a style that became known in the local club scene in Ybor City - the center of Tampa's nightlife. There, his he began to catch the ears of club goers and he slowly started making a name for himself.

Samer’s chance meeting with Bill Vines (The Maji) at Chakra Records, Tampa kick started his career into overdrive. Bill’s mentoring gave Samer a good grounding in production and DJing. They also set up Pangea Recordings. Working together as Evrydaydowers, they began to pick up gigs across Tampa which lead to them producing their first EP - A New Beginning. “Quality wise, this was a first production, but I remember receiving a compliment from Brother Brown at the WMC. Being that he was one of my heroes, that's when I knew we were heading in the right direction,” Samer says. The early 00s proved to be a very successful time for Samer but soon he began to look further afield at the bright lights of California. In 2002 he finally made the move to San Diego and slowly began to build his name in the local scene warming up for luminary international DJs. Aside from his own personal success, Pangea’s influence was further enhanced by the likes of Sasha regularly playing and charting their releases, indeed, Samer recalls a surreal moment at WMC 2003 where he heard Sasha drop “This World” (Pangea’s first globally distributed release) to a highly receptive Miami crowd. With the success of Pangea Recordings, Samer decided to expand Pangea by creating sister labels Pangea UK, 1Shot Recordings, and digital spawns for them as well. “The San Diego scene was pretty chill compared to LA and San Francisco, which allowed me to get a lot of work done and allowed me to release more records.” Samer says, “Also, I got so many great demos it was tough to stay focused on just progressive music. I needed another outlet to release other types of tunes, and that’s why we formed the sister labels.”

Unfortunately, Samer and Bill have decided to take different paths in recent times, but this hasn’t slowed Samer down as he now DJing across the country at some of the best parties on the planet; from Ultra, Miami with Deadmau5, Sasha and John Digweed to Love Fest in San Francisco and beyond. These days, Samer is concentrating more on his original productions and writing music under his own name. He has signed solo outings and remixes on very well respected international labels such as Spundae Music, Baroque Records, Old SQL and more. Samer’s podcast – Pangea Recordings Podcast - has aided him in pushing his sound to a worldwide audience with thousands of devoted and faithful listeners. It is safe to say that Samer is still one of America’s most exciting DJs and producers. 20 years in the making, DJ Samer is still that wide eyed music fan looking forward to the weekend where his favorite DJs spin the greatest music in the World at Club Simons.

There are few individuals within the underground dance music industry able to match Chris Fortier for both influence and achievement over the last two decades. With a mandate predicated upon the deceptively simple notion of "constant musical evolution", the founder and owner of the globally renowned Fade Records, is not constrained by boundaries, reflected in both the music he plays and creates.

An extensive list of achievements is testament to such elevated ideals, perhaps best showcased by the iconic 2005 "Balance 007" compilation; a groundbreaking CD at the vanguard of a fresh, innovative and underground sound movement, that history would later record as an aural blueprint for the worldwide dance music explosion that followed in the subsequent decade and beyond. A further eight commercially released mix albums would also contain the Chris Fortier DNA.

As a production artist, Fortier's portfolio of skills have been crafted and honed through an intimate 20-year knowledge of clubs across the globe's dance-floor capitals – from Tokyo, Melbourne, Mexico City to Budapest and Buenos Aires to residencies at the legendary AAHZ in Orlando in the early 90’s through to New York's Twilo and London's The Cross. Always in demand and prolific in output, a continually rising 400 plus Beatport production credits tell only half of an impressive story. Fortier's remix of Delerium's "Silence", was the first and original remix and sold in excess of one million copies worldwide; while work for John Digweed's Bedrock imprint further cemented an ever-growing reputation alongside the full-length album, "As Long As The Moment Exists" and its follow-up remix album on behemoth Australian imprint, EQ.

Never one to rest on his proverbial laurels, Chris' productions have seen him take on the mantle of highly regarded modern producer with releases spanning the underground sound including most recently on Bedrock, Selador, Balance, Mooseeka, Tulipa, Maya, Manual, Ground Factory, Maktub, Mindwarp and his own imprint Fade. His remixes and collaborations since 2009 tell their own tale, as Chris remains as integral, relevant and at the leading edge in the Underground as ever. With an innate and immaculate sense of what makes the industry tick, built upon longstanding personal experience, Fortier's musical evolution shows no sign of extinction.
