Dekmantel Soundsystem Archive Series 1: 
Sub Club 12 November 2016

Starting with this recording, we will from time to time share live-mixes from our own Dekmantel Soundsystem, consisting of founders Thomas Martojo and Casper Tielrooij. Operating as DJ duo, in addition to running the label, and subsequent festival series, they have been touring around the world in the past few years. Now we are opening up Pandora’s box, giving access to some recordings taken from select shows; a journey into some of their most intrepid sets.

The first in the series is a four-hour odyssey of finely-tuned, dance music craftsmanship. Recorded at Glasgow’s renowned Sub Club in December 2016, the sold-out show came at the end of the Dekmantel Soundystem ‘all-night’ tour that saw them take in 11 major cities throughout Europe and the middle east. Playing at the institutional Subculture party –first set up by residents Harri and Dom- the duo, worked up a set of disco, Brazilian music, electro, wave next to house and techno that features a fine balance of undiscovered gems, and party classics. With a gradual, progression in energy, it’s easily possible to imagine yourself letting loose on the dancefloor. 

“Within the first hour the audience was already jumping up and down, gladly fist-pumping the ceiling,” the Dekmantel duo recall proving the fine reputation of the club and it’s loyal visitors. Spoiler alert: “The sound technician forbid us to play another track after Gary Numan, as -in his opinion - it was the perfect ending to the night.”
