To accompany the release of Especial’s compilation mix CD, “Eleccio” - offering of a snapshot of the first 9 EPs on the label - a limited edition sampler EP is being released featuring 4 unreleased remixes from the label’s roster to date.
 
Ever since the first white labels appeared at the end of Summer 2013, [Emotional] 
Especial has had a busy release schedule, putting out 9 EPs that are a slightly warped take on club music. Mixing the influences of dub, electro, disco, proto-house, house and techno, a feeling, a sound, a vibe has appeared without any preordained plan.

With the release of EES10CD - a DJ meets studio compilation mix created by label 
mainstay and handyman, Jamie Paton - to mark the end of first series of the label, it was decided to included a couple of specal unreleased remixes to add a bit of new with the old in the mix.

To that end this limited edition vinyl sampler was created to include the two remixes, plus the inclusion of another two gems that needed to see the light of day.  First is the alternative “Member” remix of Inhalt by Black Merlin - a strings meets leather bar club dub out that takes things deeper and darker than before. This is followed by Jamie delivering his own take of Khidja’s massive Mustafa, with a warped, swamped out dub. 

Next is another mix from Cage & Aviary of their pals, Blancemange. Brooding low-slung rerun dub anyone? Finally there is a very special remix by Khidja of The Ganges Orchestra. Reissued on Emotional Rescue in 2013, this special remix takes the vocal mantra of the original and creates a balearic-raga tale that perfectly rounds off Especial to date.

The latest episode of De Kat Memwa comes from Alex Tackenberg, aka Alex from Galax—a long-time figure in the underground music landscape of the Metropolregion Rhein-Ruhr, and a steady resident in some of its most important institutions over the past decade: Acephale, dublab.de, and the ever-iconic Salon des Amateurs.

Over the years, I’ve found myself repeatedly drawn to Alex’s mixes, each carrying that distinct Köln–Düsseldorf fingerprint: raw, punky, hypnotic, fuzzy, melancholic, and always stylistically adventurous. And crucially—played as slow as possible. A true DJ’s DJ.

About a month ago, I stumbled upon a guest mix Alex recorded for LIO Press, and it pierced right through me. At this point in my life, I’m mostly inspired by sonic collages, mixes that weave storytelling with spoken word and evoke a melancholic tranquility. Naturally, I felt compelled to invite Alex to contribute to our series—his sensibility fits right in.

This mix, in particular, feels incredibly resonant. It reminds me of a nearby bird sanctuary where I often go for mental health walks—a space of stillness inside the noise, where clarity slowly returns.

Below, Alex shares a few words about the mix he called 'The Garden of My Own Space':

'For some time now I have been thinking about the coming of spring in the urban space—a confrontation between city structures and the places within them marked by trees, plants, flowers, and the sounds of an unreal nature in the town. And yet, these spaces serve as a retreat for each of us.

Virginia Astley’s From Gardens Where We Feel Secure and Emily Dickinson’s nature observations and poems formed a metaphor, a cohesiveness of my thoughts and feelings. They provided the framework to express these feelings musically.'
