Ne vieną šaunią porą išskyrė pandemija ir karantinas. Taip nutiko ir su mūsų gerais draugais Amsterdame. Iš Beesmunt Soundsystem tandemo pernai liko BSS, mat vienas jo narių David nusprendė visą save atiduoti kitai gyvenimo aistrai ir didžėjaus ausines išmainė į fotoaparatą. Užtat Luigi tęsia veiklą ir siunčia muzikinį atviruką visiems puikiai pažįstamo festivalio dalyviams. Iš pirmo žvilgsnio užsimezgusi meilė žydi toliau ir čia yra geriausias to įrodymas.

Many great couples were divided by pandemic and quarantine. Formerly known as a duo, nowadays @beesmunt-soundsystem is a solo project run by a big man with a big heart. Luigi knows Ant Bangos vibe pretty well (been there done that) so the ultimate love can be fully felt in every minute of this well-balanced mix.

Heap: „While working on the release we kept on jokingly referring to the record as the „Austrian Mashisa“ due to the similarity in sounds it provides. I first played the Megamix on last year’s Dekmantel Selectors festival, where it showed its potential for being a Summer hit. In fact, the original 7'' release was the result of a final school project with the goal to substitute the Austrian tradition of compiling a class magazine when graduating from school.“

I’m home, I’m Ok!

If you in one way or another fall outside of the CIS male gender category, or know someone who does, chances are that you are familiar with the four short words that comprise the title of Charlotte Bendiks` newest record. “I`m home, I`m okay” is an all too familiar sentence for those of us who are on the losing end of societal structures that make violence the form of power, and that have had to develop safety systems to create a modicum of counterbalance. “I`m home, I`m okay” are the four short words that indicate that you or a loved one have arrived safely, to safety, or quite simply: Home. These four short words compile much of Bendiks` oeuvre and all three tracks on the record released on Glasgow based Optimo Music in 2023, deals with questions concerning belonging, becoming, and embodiment. For Bendiks, the question of arriving home safely is not only about the act of stepping over the threshold of the home, but also an issue of the body that takes you there. She often refers to her music as body-music, something that is obvious in the heavy rhythms she produces that rarely leaves a dance floor empty. However, body-music can also be understood as music that comes from the body, both intellectually and physically. As music that develops through a process of being a body in the world, of accepting one`s body, loving it and feeling safe in it - and in the world. The latter is perhaps the most difficult, and an issue Bendiks explores to the fullest. Understood this way, Bendiks` music operates on the threshold of embodiment and polemics. The tracks take you from pure bodily experience to strong social critique in a heartbeat, without losing any of their danceability. If you let your body follow the rhythms of the record`s final track “Steikesexual”, for instance, it is impossible not to be reminded of one of feminist critique`s most central tropes, namely that the personal is [always] political. Steikesexual is a hybrid word composed of a Northern-Norwegian slang word that is used to emphasize admiration or idolisation, and the English word for being sexual. In short, steikesexual is both an adjective and a verb. It is something a body can be and do. The track therefore carries with it this hybridity which on the one hand emphasizes sexual power and bodily agency, and on the other highlights otherness and being an outsider. The point that Bendiks is making is that the process of becoming in one ́s body is always both. By letting your body move to and be moved by music, the body always partakes in structures that reach beyond the dancefloor. This is explored further in the track “Leaving Diego”, where Bendiks also play on words. Diego could be a person (a body), but it is also a play on the words “the” and ego”. It is as if Bendiks here points to a body in transit. A body that is moving from one place or state, to another. In a sense, “Leaving Diego” is both an antithesis to and prolongation of arriving home to safety, it is about leaving one's comfort zone, the familiar, in order to become a body that is steikesexual. Bendiksen often talks about home-work when she talks about her work. For her, home-work, like body-music, points to the mental and physical labor that bodies perform when going through transformative moments. It is about being aware and delving into the complexities of the moment. It is about paying attention to all the components that make up a body in space, whether it being societal, cultural or biological ones. Understood this way the record “I`m home, I`m okay” operates between the body and society, and new bodies, new stories and new categories continue to arrive.

Sven Tasnadi - Sweet Childhood (Map.ache Remix)

Stripping it all back to the core. This is for the late-night sessions and the gritty, sweat-soaked dancefloors. Raw tech house is the sound of stripped-down percussion, relentless basslines, and a minimal, no-frills attitude. We trade clean-cut polish for a raw, analogue crunch and a lo-fi energy that hits you right in the chest.

Expect powerful, rolling grooves, sharp, distorted kicks, and a hypnotic, warehouse vibe. Influenced by the foundational sounds of Detroit techno and the stripped-back feel of classic house, this is music designed for one purpose: to make you move. No flash, no fluff—just pure, unadulterated rhythm.
