Leave now or stay a little longer? Eat another ice cream or better not? We all know these moments, not knowing what the best decision is and being in between. The EP from Feinheitsbrei provides the soundtrack for those who are undecided and who would rather like to have everything instead of choosing.

In his two original tracks, our long-time companion draws the listener under his spell with a unique sound design, characterized by dreamy melodies, driving basslines and subtle sound elements. Planet Caravan, Hvitling, apaj and Ykonosh breathed their own life into the tracks in an extremely creative way, giving it a distinctive personal tone.

Therefore we want to thank all artists involved for their great work, as well as our master mind Haunted Water and our artwork wizard Kilian Van De Water.

Feinheitsbrei - Under The Surface

Feinheitsbrei - Under The Surface (Hvitling Remix)

It’s time to celebrate a special occasion: We finally reached the 10.000 followers on Soundcloud. Although it’s just a number, this means quite a lot to us. We want to thank all our passionate listeners for their overwhelming feedback and the love we received over the last years. 

We put a lot of commitment and energy in our project and you are the ones who motivate us each and every day to continue this effort. Therefore we thought it was time for a new single. 

As always, you can donate as much as you like and all the earnings go to the artist. This time the track is produced by our long time companion Onur Diner. 

We hope for lots of further moments to celebrate and feel enlightened to continue our journey together.

Onur Diner - Dance a Bit

Söriös - Diaspora

After he was already represented on our last compilation and is also involved in some current remix projects with us, we are particularly pleased to be able to present the new EP by @sydkasd on our label today, which has the catchy title "Snakes and Ladders".

The saying Snakes and Ladders refers to situations in which people or events appear to go forward and backward, seemingly at random. Everyone can relate to this feeling and knows that life can sometimes feel like an endless loop of recurring experiences. It is all the more important to switch off your head from time to time and simply go with the flow of the moment.

Sydka's EP provides the perfect soundtrack for this vibe. The two originals, which come with his unmistakably groovy and detailed sound, are rounded off by three diverse remixes by @glenn_shaw, @flave-uc and @kon-faber, which all give the original a unique twist.

We are very happy that the EP has finally seen the light of day and want to thank all the artists involved for their great work, as well as Haunted Water for the smooth mastering and Kilian Van de Water for the harmonious artwork.

Premiere: Sydka - Snakes (Glenn Shaw Remix) [down.]

As the night falls and the stars come out to play, the time has come for the first EP of the duo Bassara from Berlin. Get ready to experience a groovy, immersive soundscape, filled with deep bass and arpeggiated melodies.

But Bassara is not alone on their journey. Deep Ändi, Flave & Urem have joined forces to add their own dirty touch to the mix, bringing a new level of intensity to the sound.

We want to thank all the artists involved, including Kilian Van de Water for the Artwork and Haunted Water for the great mastering. We hope you enjoy this music as much as we do <3

Bassara - Let Go (Flave & Urem Remix)

Bassara - Let Go (Original Mix)

Our latest podcast is a great example of how diverse our favorite genre is.

It was mixed by our friends from @latenightjockelsession and is peppered with fine edits, slow house bangers and full of unexpected twists. 

The two boys race towards the festival summer at a snail's pace, just in time for the ordinary sunday champagne shower. Have lots of fun with it  <3

We are happy that on our next release a long-time companion and a future companion of ours have worked together: The original we are talking about was contributed by @cedricscheibel and the fine revision by @klangdruide.

We also like it very much to revive our single format again after we had a break here for a long time. We wish you lots of fun with it.

Mastered by Haunted Water and artwork by Kilian Van De Water.

Kuako - Amacitia (KlangDruide Remix)

Our next episode is mixed by a friend who is with us just recently, but whose music has accompanied us for a long time and regularly delighted us.

We are talking about @san-miguel-berlin, who has been shaking up the scene for years with constantly great releases and seamlessly interwoven DJ- Mixes.  

When not behind the decks, he lets his musical flair come into its own on his label Monada with a finely curated selection of artists. We are happy to welcome this likeable gentleman with us and hope that you enjoy his set as much as we do.

In mysterious ways, paths from the past sometimes cross once again, leading to wonderful outcomes. Such is the case here, as we are thrilled to welcome our longtime companion, Maxi aka @kerosino, to our label for his upcoming EP.

His dark, midtempo-leaning sound perfectly suits the gloomy season and had us convinced from the very first listen. The two original tracks are complemented by equally compelling remixes from @air_horse_one, @richardelcox, and @matijasound.

We're delighted that this release has come to fruition and hope you enjoy it thoroughly. As always, the artwork has been contributed by our graphic wizard, Kilian Van de Water.

Kerosino - Kalevala (Original Mix)

We probably don't need to say much about the next artist in our beloved down. cast series, as her sound speaks volumes and should be familiar to any downtempo aficionado by now.

Of course, we're talking about @frida-darko, who for years has consistently delivered fantastic and carefully curated sound.

Being a part of the @rebelliondertraumer and @station-endlos-halle crews and having launched her own label project @tipping-point-music in recent months, one can always be curious what this versatile artist has in store for us next.

We're all the more thrilled to have her now as part of our series as well and wish you all a great time with the upcoming mix.

It's that time again—early September marks the launch of our next compilation! We can hardly believe it ourselves, but it's already down.tape °9.

As always, we've worked hard to bring you a mix of emerging new artists alongside some seasoned veterans who have yet to be featured on our compilations. The soundscape spans from fresh, summery open-air vibes to driving beats perfect for the night, once again showcasing the incredible diversity of our favorite genre.

We want to thank all the artists for their unique contributions, as well as Kilian Van de Water for the artwork and Haunted Water for the mastering. Enjoy the music!

Cereus - This And That (Original Mix)

After having spun his way into our ears through numerous sets across various podcasts in recent years, we're delighted to welcome the equally energetic and affable Swiss artist @aka_tony, to our esteemed lineup. 

While he never fails to surprise us with a colourful array of tracks, his distinctive sound always shines through clearly and unmistakably. When he's not commanding the decks himself, he enriches the scene with his podcast series @aka-tapes and @slomosensual and his event series "Down To Earth".

Get ready for the next 80 minutes of auditory bliss and settle in for a leisurely journey aboard the Aka Tony Express.

Next in our podcast series, we are thrilled to welcome an absolute maestro and versatile talent of the downtempo scene. We are talking about none other than @iorie, who has been consistently delivering with a remarkable sensitivity for our beautiful genre over the years, not only through his own releases but also with his label Serafin.

In his new mix for us, he once again showcases his musical diversity and presents us with facets of a slightly different, slower side. This set invites you to drift away and daydream, making it the perfect companion for the upcoming warm season. Enjoy!

The next artist in our podcast series has been a regular fixture in our party line-ups for nearly two years, consistently impressing us with her balanced sound and keen ear for the perfect tracks. 

We're talking about @thisisrakaethe, who, whether as part of BeYond collective or on her own, regularly shakes up the dance floors in the downtempo scene. We are thrilled that she took the time to create a mix for us, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we do!

After featuring his debut EP on our label and contributing a track to our latest compilation, we’re excited to have our sympathetic friend @allies complete the hattrick with a fresh podcast mix for us.

His set is a refined blend of melodic, driving beats and musical highlights – including a new release from himself and tracks by some of our favorite artists. Seamlessly transitioning between deep, emotive builds and energizing peaks, this mix takes you on a journey through the soundscape of slow electronic music. Enjoy listening!

On October 30th, the day has finally arrived for us to present the new EP from @thea-schtu. We’ve been big fans of their sound for a while, which makes us all the more excited that this EP has come together.

The two original tracks showcase the duo’s impressive range of musical styles. The title track, "Odyssee," is marked by a deep melody and signature synth elements, while the second track, "No, What?" stands out with its groovier touches, yet remains unmistakably true to the distinctive style of thea & schtu.

The originals are complemented by equally diverse remixes from our friends @laaarmusic, @samahamusic, and @sydkasd. We’re very pleased with the result and would like to thank all the artists involved, as well as @haunted_water and @iorie for the mastering, and Kilian Van de Water for the striking artwork.

At the beginning of October, we are releasing an EP that we are especially excited about! After dazzling us with several remixes over the past few months, the time has come to introduce you to the debut EP from @laaarmusic on our label, titled "Of Mind and Matter".

The two original tracks from our talented Israeli friend are a playful and dreamy journey, reminiscent of the driving yet mellow sound that first drew us to the world of downtempo. To complete the release, we've added two thrilling remixes from @deisenmusic and @jonasfasching, each bringing their own unique interpretation.

We'd like to express our deepest gratitude to all the amazing artists involved, as well as to our graphic designer Kilian Van de Water and mastering engineer Haunted Water.

Enjoy the EP and safe travels on this sonic adventure!

In this mix, he showcases his talent for blending slow, hypnotic grooves with intricate details that keep the energy alive without ever rushing the pace. His skillful transitions and careful track selection create a seamless journey through the subtleties of downtempo sounds, making this set the perfect soundtrack for those who appreciate a slower, more immersive vibe.

Today, we're thrilled to present a brand-new mix from our homie @ektoplast, a member of the crepité collective, who previously graced us with a stellar track on one of our compilations.

This time, he delivers a two-hour journey of driving power within the slower spectrum—perfectly crafted to chase away the looming winter chill.

We’re excited to bring you something truly special for our year-end episode: an exclusive mix by Kruder & Dorfmeister! These two legends have shaped the downtempo and electronic music scene like few others, and having them on board feels like a dream come true for us.

Their mix is the perfect soundtrack to describe their style – relaxed, experimental and full of depth. Exactly what we hoped for to mark this moment.

A big thank you to all of you for joining us on this journey, and an even bigger thank you to Kruder & Dorfmeister for this fantastic contribution. Now it’s time to hit play, sit back, and enjoy the soundscape for a smooth end to the year.

It's time again, our next compilation is just around the corner. As always, we would like to express different facets of downtempo on it and present to you a sweet selection of artists, whose sound we have enjoyed recently. 

The tracks are perfect for warm summer nights, while chilling in the park or having a nice time at the lake.

All good things come in five, that's why our new compilation is out now.
For down.tape°5 we have put together 12 tracks which are all special in their own way.

As always we dive into the different worlds of downtempo, but this time every single track has an individual dance floor character which will get your feet to work. We want to express our longing & love for our usual normality and hope that the dance floors will be filled again in 2021.

A big thank you goes out to all artists involved, including Kilian Van de Water for the artwork and Haunted Water for the mastering. We hope to make you dance again with this compilation, whether alone at home or together on the dance floor.
