Barem - After The Storm 
MINUS110 WAV, MP3, CD, 2LP

There. Is. Nothing. Better. Than. A. Clear. Blue. Sky. After The Storm. Taken literally, the track listing for Barem’s debut LP represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. Of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey that’s about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place.

Barem has always offered a more laidback counterpoint to the edgy sounds of some of his label mates. His decision to progress in a deeper, percussive direction began with the Kolimar EP (M68) and apart from the dark, ambient intro There, this vibe dominates the first half of the album. Is and Nothing really showcase his skill at concocting instinctive, percussion driven grooves, expressing a natural inner rhythm that exploits the full stereo field. Rich, rounded drum fills puncture the hidden space behind the beats, shimmering reverbs drench the cymbals while the bass lines remain reassuringly fat and familiar, gently hypnotizing as the LP settles into its groove. By the time we reach Better the low pressure is beginning to break. Additional elements gradually make their presence felt as the beats continue to flay and splinter, phasing strings heighten the suspense and a delicate one note riff skips and bounces through spot effects and sprinkled vocal snippets as Barem coolly maintains the growing intrigue.

As if to highlight the evolving nature of the LP, the transition to the more dubbed-out Than goes almost unnoticed as the gentle undertow begins pulling us into more familiar Minus territory. Disorienting percussive delays start jarring into the void, indiscernible vocal slurs reverberate out into the corners of the room and warm, acidic bleeps start tapping at the doors of perception. By the time we reach A, the psychedelics have well and truly kicked in. The percussive onslaught of the preceding tracks gives way to a deeper, mystical atmosphere driven by shakers and hats and offset with cavernous delays and detuned pads that warp and envelope the collective consciousness in the orange-red glow of some ancient tribal ritual.

Having broken through to the other side, the eye of the storm is upon us. The last four tracks are all about the future. Clear gives ground to an abstract, subsonic groove that hisses and crackles like the dying embers of the night. A twisting motif then emerges from the flames rolling back and forth across the dance floor like some great bird stretching its wings before taking flight. Circling higher and higher, it is reduced to a distant speck before Blue - one of the definite standout tracks on the album - embarks on a spiral dive that represents Barem’s new unity of sound in one magic bullet. With an audacious swoop it scatters the storm clouds, fusing together all the contrasting aspects of his repertoire that make the album such an intoxicating journey. Sky then announces the final ascent with a long, seductive intro that crystallizes into an elegant melody, while the throbbing bass line generates another ecstatic rush of dark energy.

And then the clouds part, the sun breaks through and we’re left with the sensation of After The Storm: after the turbulence and the tumult, we’re greeted with tribal rhythms, muffled brass section and superb fretless bass riff all benefitting from a shift in 6/8 blues time signature that gives the album finale a fittingly reflective sensation – what Barem himself describes as that feeling of beauty when the dust is gone and everything is finally clear.

Barem - After The Storm album mini-mix

Metha's first album 'Flashback' does not only recall his long-way paths till this very point, but also presents where he is headed now. By genre, it may be categorized as something between techno and tech-funk, but as we know Metha and BeMassive, this has never been truly important. What really matters is the unique rebel style of the music and the producer, on which many well-known artists had an influence e.g. Elite Force aka Simon Shackleton, Meat Katie, Oliver Huntemann, Andre Winter, Evil Nine, Mike Hulme and many others. These producers listed here have all been shown on Metha's own party-series 'Bemassive' to the audience, in order to make them be a part of the music experience and be inspired, just like he was. Some tracks of the album have already been released as single EPs, so we are truly grateful for the opportunity of releasing them on our own record and by our labeling! Many of the singles were huge hits on Beatport and received positive reviews on Mixmag. The breakbeat songs reveal Metha's sounding between 2011-'14, while the techno ones such as Come Home My Little Yeti, Crash, Alfa were created at the end of 2014, showing the way he is currently on. This is also the reason why Alfa is the last song on the release. Further uniqueness of the album are the two bonus tracks: Flack Su created an outstanding remix for Metha after many years of retirement as a kind of step to reappear. Besides that, Yreane's Massive remix will also make a huge mark on the record. All of the tracks were remastered by Beat Tempest Studios for the album. Special thanks go to Kid Panel, who had a great impact on Metha's path to become a music producer, Lot49, Vim Records, Kindcrime Recordings, Egothermia Records, Breaks.sk and to Meat Katie, Dylan Ryhmes and Ruiz

FUN001 - Barem & Alexis Cabrera - Turn On The Fun

Mumbai/Berlin based selector, producer and Regenerate crew member Troja goes deep for mix #098.

Trideep Roy is the latest beat maker to contribute to our expanding list of mixes here at Wild City. The Mumbai based producer and DJ has been spinning tunes across the country and established crews like Bhavishyavani future Soundz, Dusdozen and KRUNK in the past.

Troja believes his music is a product of his travels in Europe, where’s he spent a large chunk of his life. Despite having started his journey in Scotland, it’s obvious in his mix that Berlin – Germany in general – has played a major role in shaping his musical sensibilities. Troja went back to the city this summer to take up residency at Suicide Circus and play for crowds in the region. The musician is also one half of a collaborative project called Botief.

His hour long, exclusive mix for Wild City explores a range of deep house perfect to match the energy of a post party. It begins with Florian Rietze who eases things in with the pulsating ‘Treibholz’ and continues to cover a number of (largely German) gems including BLANCAh, Stephan Bodzin, Spanish producer Upercent and more.

The opening of the 4th of September in Music On. A night that I will never forget where I share booth with Egbert, opening and closing the night!

MUSIC ON - - - PACO OSUNA Opening Set 4 9 2015

For those that are unaware, I was in a terrible accident in August in Thailand following a music event there and have been recovering from that for the past few months. I wanted to put together a mix that was a ride on the mental and emotional roller coaster I have been on... It is raw without post edit.
This mix starts with a beautiful new track from Nico Stojan, aptly called "Blue Hour", and builds into dark brooding driving rhythms. I had been thinking about putting together a mix that could sonically express some of the dark thoughts I have had during the low points of this recovery, and I thought the time leading up to Halloween would be a great time to share this set.  This mix was recorded only in the headphones and no monitors and a pretty even mixture of new and old tracks, including some of the tracks I was looking forward to playing at Burning man this year, which I missed due to the accident... I hope you enjoy it. 

Tracks & Remixes include:

KELLAM: Oct 2015 - Dark Thoughts

2015 saw Stephan Bodzin release his second full length, “Powers of Ten”, as well as a new single on DJ Tennis’ and Tale of Us’ taste making label Life and Death. The album is another magical piece of work that focuses on melody and rhythm, on fat bass and vivid sound design and is a truly captivating journey through the mind, music, body and soul of one of dance music’s truly modern greats. After its release, a great team of modern music makers was enlisted to remix tracks from it: Maceo Plex & Shall Ochin, Fur Coat, Extrawelt, long time musical sparring partner Marc Romboy, Pan-Pot, Max Cooper, Agents of Time, Dominik Eulberg and many more all contributed to what is an essential collection. With a remix of ‘Sleepless’, a Pan-Pot track from their latest album, Stephan Bodzin closed the latest chapter of 2015 in what has been an exhilarating musical journey in his capable and creative hands.
