For this month's edition I invited the talented @madmiran ~ Miran channeled the Aquarius fizzing and floating energies around this full moon. A personal healing journey that brings shivers to your ears. 

The Aquarius Full Moon this month carries a naturally healing energy, inspiring us to spend some time nourishing our spirit and paying attention to any wounds or heaviness we may be carrying.

This full moon will help you activate innate healing powers and allows you to work on the seven major energy centers to restore balance, harmony, and a sense of peace.

Dusk Delay 015 - Lord Of The Isles

Night Of The Endless Beyond

Night Of The Endless Beyond LP (ESP Institute - ESP 108)

A Psychic Yes is the alias of British, Berlin based artist, carpenter and DJ, Timothy Crombie. Timothy has released records on some of the most interesting and out there labels at the moment, most recently Nummer's self titled imprint and the ever impressive, ear to the ground; Kalahari Oyster Cult. His music touches off blends of percussive UK techno stylings with a nod to DIY bleep and yet has an air of leftfield ambient if that makes any sense? Either way, its with these stylings too that Timothy constructs sets, be it live or DJ, with these inspirations in mind and takes Off The Record 38 into similar patterns.

Stephan Laubner/STL's Homework LP was one of the first records I bought when I started DJing 'properly' back in 2007. 

If u don't know STL - very lofi, brittle, dubby, wooden, not overly bassy, discordant, minimal, scratchy, lush, strangely funky stuff, beautiful in its own way. And he does these locked grooves on most of his records, which I've mixed up here into a two hour special at 133⅓bpm. I recorded it with a new rotary EQ mixer (thanks Dean!) and then ran it through my Roland RE-201 Space Echo (thanks Maciej!)...

U might be surprised (if u listen) how organic and varied u can make a single loop, with the right EQing, cutting, boosting, fader tricks and so on - it was a lot of fun to mix, but I don't think this is a DJ thing just for other DJs.

Hope u enjoy... most of these locked grooves are on Stephan's label Something, a couple on Perlon, Echocord and so on.

Mosca NTS Show: 3rd February 2016 (STL Special)

We keep it local with our next podcast, a long time Dekmantel friend. Yuri Boselie is an occasional producer of deep and moody sounds but is foremost a DJ extra-ordinaire. He was a resident at the sorely missed Trouw and is the sort of DJ who defies categorisation. From major festivals to Boiler Room gigs, intimate basements to open air sessions, he knows exactly what to draw for and when to draw for it. House, garage, techno and plenty in between are all fair game for the man who has also collaborated with Tom Trago, and who is responsible for the Beat Dimension compilations that kickstarted the growth of the beats scene in Europe. 

The podcast he puts together is 70 minutes of smooth, feel house and playful grooves. There are trips into acid, tracks from yesterday year and pure party vibes all neatly melted together into the sort of bouncy session that is deceptively effortless.

Just like Larry Levan was Paradise Garage, Tony Humphries was Club Zanzibar. With his inimitable take on house and garage, the US-DJ was able to command audiences for hours, taking them up and down, round and round with a dizzyingly eclectic mix of soul, tribal and gospel styles. Kerri Chandler has said before how much of an influence Tony was on him during those early days in New Jersey, and this August he will offer a very real link to that past with a set at Melkweg under the title 'A Tribute To Zanzibar'. 

Ahead of that, Tony has served up a ninety minute mix for us that showcases the skills he has been honing for more than 35 years. It is a party starting selection that touches on every facet of house music in feel good fashion. Quick and slick and always smooth, more than the odd history lesson is included along the way but the results never feel less than timeless.

Until he launched his own Radio Matrix label with a clever and conceptual series of EPs in 2014, Delta Funktionen was exclusively tied to Dutch stable Delsin and its sub labels. It is there that he has roamed from techno to electro to dub, and there that he has put out a string of EPs and coherent full length over the last decade. Unlike many of his underground peers, Delta isn’t too serious and likes to have fun when DJing, so can go hard and fast or deep and warm according to the context. He often marries analogue and digital techniques in his work, takes cues from traditional hotbeds like Detroit and Chicago, but always comes correct with his own unique perspectives.  

Across the course of 75 absorbingly sci-fi minutes, the Dutchman cooks up a cinematic ride through deep space atmospherics, electronic funk and slick electro. The latter half grows more disturbed and dystopian, but there is always a very real and metallic aesthetic to the seamlessly segued sounds that ties the whole thing together with real narrative.

There is no one quite like Dave Huismans, aka A Made Up Sound. The Dutchman, who's of course also known as 2562, has been in a musical world of his own ever since he first turned heads with his debut in 2006. As of that decade, he has continued to confound expectation and operate away from any prevailing trends, mostly on his own self titled label, but also for other cult outlets like Clone, Trilogy Tapes, and Delsin, where he just dropped his newest release. His music toys with convention, finds rhythm in unknown places and cooks up textures you didn’t think were possible. Broken and abstract yet absorbing and emotive; his sound is a left-field marriage of techno, bass and electro that has proven impossible to imitate. 

Over the course of ninety minutes, The Hague man showcases his penchant for kinked grooves and for high pressure drums. He manages to be maximalist and in your face one moment, then subtle and subversive at others. From disco to electro and techno, it’s all here. It all creates a rugged, seat-of-your-pants ride that throws up plenty of curveballs along the way. 

Dekmantel Podcast 067 - A Made Up Sound

In 2016 I was invited to contribute to Red Bull Radio’s Headphone Highlights series of programmes. I chose to make a radio show exploring a piece of writing about music that had a monumental impact on my teenage self. Kodwo Eshun’s More Brilliant Than The Sun collapsed together every form of Black music from the second half of the 20th century and in it’s prose did what the dj’s that I loved did. It erased the boundaries our understanding of things so often erect. In the show I read excerpts around some of the key music and link them to personal experiences. Due to rights agreements it is currently unavailable through the RB Radio site so I have posted it here.

Call Super's Headphone Highlights, More Brilliant Than The Sun

At Robert Johnson, heroes of the Frankfurt techno scene like Roman Flügel and Ricardo Villalobos are key sources of inspiration for an exciting new wave of DJs and producers. All of these artists love playing at the understated Offenbach spot for two reasons: firstly there’s the sound, which is among the best we’ve heard anywhere in the world. And once the sun starts to appear behind the River Main, there’s almost nowhere that matches the intimate early morning vibe at Robert Johnson. 

Robert Johnson resident O-Wells prepared a three-hour mix for us spanning uplifting house, bass-heavy club hitters, definitive electro and more.
