To celebrate the end of 2016 and to thank all of you for an incredible year, we've decided to give away one very special track that is specifically close to our hearts. It's an edit that we've made at the beginning of 2016 and it's been a mainstay in our set throughout the year (especially those special sunrise moments on some far flung beach) and we think it's time for you all to have it. So here it is, in all its glory. Enjoy it to the max. Luca & Anthony <3

ADW008 : Shane Fontane - Into The Morning (Original Mix)

Öona Dahl's two stellar remixes of Nick Warren & Tripswitch - "Voight Kampff"  underscore her savvy for melodic tech house as well as calming downtempo sounds. Dahl shares her deeply moving Live Forever Mix exclusively to We Are Machine below, and in this feature she discusses how both musical styles are equally vital forms of her expression as an artist.

1. Hi Öona! The downtempo/electronica/ambient music genres are a big part of your sound as a DJ as well as a producer & remixer.  What is it about this chilled style of music that resonates with you?

Ambient resonates calmness and often a feeling of peace for me. Electronic music has no boundaries. By incorporating many styles into my DJ sets- especially soundscapes- I’m able to express a story or a journey of emotions through sound.


2. Nick Warren & Tripswitch are both equally known for their progressive house sounds as well as their downtempo/electronica creations. Is it a priority for you to be respected for your downtempo sound on the same level as your club sound?

I perceive both sounds in unity. It’s hard to imagine one without the other.

 
3. “Voight Kampff” was an instance where you created two very distinct remixes for a release. Your remix has a lot of sparkling melodic elements while your Live Forever Mix is anchored by that heavy, grinding bassline.  Was your original plan to create two remixes or did you begin work on one and feel that you could take things in another entirely separate direction as well?

The original plan was to do one remix. After I finished the first- later on I heard another version stirring in my mind. I noticed it when I started humming and singing over the melody of the song. When this happens it is hard to ignore the voices, so I thought I’d do another to see what happens. I love dissecting tracks!

 
4. Have you road-tested either of your “Voight Kampff” remixes? I’d imagine they’d be played at two very different settings.  Any memorable reactions?

There was a nice response when I played the remix at Newspeak in Montreal just a couple weeks back. I’m looking forward to playing the Live Forever Mix in Dubai next week.

 
5. Is it refreshing creatively for you to be able to bounce back and forth between the two musical worlds?

Weaving both styles into my sets- whether I’m playing in the club or for a deep meditation- I feel I’m able to be in both worlds at the same time.

 
6. Who are some downtempo/electronica/ambient artists that first inspired you to begin creating music in the genre yourself?

Brian Eno, Bjork, Enya, Mozart, Future Sound of London, Aphex Twin, Global Communication, String Theory…

 
7. Do you have any forthcoming downtempo tracks or remixes currently in the works?

Yes! Under both my Öona Dahl and Slumber monikers.

Nick Warren & Tripswitch - "Voight Kampff" will be released on February 26th at Beatport via the onedotsixtwo label.

Exclusive Active Child 'Johnny Belinda (MDK Remix)'

Active Child's tune 'Johnny Belinda' gets the remix treatment from Dutch electronic music legend Matthew Dekay The producer has been responsible for one of Innervisions' biggest hits, 'Lost In A Moment', and also produced the groundbreaking EP 'Amity' including the summer hit 'Fangtango' on Maeve. With his remix for Active Child's track 'Johnny Belinda' Dekay once again proves his ability to turn an original track into his own piece of work. Melodic melancholic synth chords shape the body of MDK's remix approach and are set with a reserved bass line that fully unfolds its punch as the remix proceeds. But it certainly is the vocal that puts its mark on the track and Dekay manages to make the interaction between the vocals and soundscapes sound so easy. 

Active Child's EP 'Johnny Belinda Remixes' will be released April 30th, 2018 on Subtract Music.

At a time when national identities are creating more problems than they are solving, Padre’s slice of pure Englishness shows that music can always rise above borders.      

Another ADID newcomer, Syrian born Quatri, transports the track to the Parisian streets of his adopted home. 

Finally, our favourite Russians,  Gorje and Izhevski, bring Vaughan Williams’ soaring Lark, and Nigerian singer Oe’s pleas for love and unity, squarely to the dance floor.

Love, Leee

Melodic maestro French-Canadian producer @gabrhome and the versatile @evrenfurtuna use their different cultural backgrounds to create an evocative, watery melodic exploration named after that traveller in two worlds, the salmon, swimming now against, now with the current, in waters both sweet and salt. ‘Salmo Salar’ has a sizzling summer touch. Its intro blends mingling mood-inducing chords in voices and strings, taking us underwater before a light but determined beat kicks in, spangled with piano arpeggios and snatches of melody as the spiritual vocals continue to evoke a watery vibe. The sustained breakdown surprises with a new clarinet tune, almost middle eastern, marking a shift of phase, after which a freer, jazzy feel predominates. ‘Salmo Salar’ launches on Saisons on July 10.

Sam Shure's album 'Laconia' is out now on Stil vor Talent: 
// You can get 'Laconia' here: https://lnk.to/SamShure_Laconia

A natural for stirring melodies, Amsterdam-based Sam Shure channels his all-around manifold array of talents into his debut album.

With its versatile moods yet compact constructions, Laconia is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The album features ten tracks that draw on Sam’s jazzy roots while staying grounded in his usual melodic, mood-heavy aesthetic. With its warm tones, hazy pads and smart basslines, it creates a perfect ambiance for deep set dancefloors.

Artist: Sam Shure | @samshure
Title: Laconia
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT260
Release: 2019-09-20

1. Louna
2. Kamala Bani w/ Cioz
3. Je Te Vois feat. Cook Strummer
4. Mangata
5. Atreyu
6. Encanto
7. Mirage
8. Not Much to Say
9. Guz
10. Aubade

Laconia features collaborations with fellow producers Cioz and Cook Strummer, as well as a special apparition by Sam’s paternal figure playing the Oud on Mirage. The tracks explore a diverse array of dispositions, from groovy up-warmers such as Mangata or Louna to more lively dancefloor aggregators such as Kamala Bani, on to the deeply polarizing, whirlwind synth dinger Guz or the more experimental self-evident Not Much To Say.

A novel detail makes an appearance on Je te vois, an acoustic electronic dance number with poetic lyrics tenderly sung in French for the first time. The artist’s romantic side also shows through the mystical elements interspersed throughout, from the spellbinding Encanto to the dreamy soundscapes of Atreyu, named after the famous German fantasy book character.

Thanks to a modest key riff and more cosmic effects, Aubade lends its meaning of “greeting in the sun” to the atmosphere, rounding off the release on an incandescent note.

Words from Mira:
For the past ten years now, I’ve celebrated my birthdays by inviting all my favorite cats to play – we started off at Kater Holzig before moving to our home at Kater Blau in 2015. For the first time since it started, and for obvious reasons, 43 Katzen tanzen auf’m Tisch won’t be happening, on what would have been the tenth anniversary of the series.

I’ve been wondering for a while now how I can make up for the missed year - streams already feel a bit outdated, and you just can’t imagine the vibe of the event without actually being there, getting beautifully lost in those days and nights, hugging old friends and making new ones. You can’t even explain that feeling, so you definitely can’t live-stream it.

Instead, this year 43 Katzen tanzen auf’m Tisch will be a compilation of some of the amazing artists from the past ten years, and even some of the new faces I would have booked this year. In a way, it’s the perfect souvenir of all the nights we’ve had so far, and an idea of what to look forward to in all the nights to come at Kater Blau somewhere in the future.

The compilation will be split into two sections: Heinz Hopper and Acidbogen, reflecting the two floors of Kater Blau, each with their own special flavor and sound. The whole record is programmed the way I would schedule the artists across the two floors for my birthday, warming up at the start before things start getting more intense later on. I guess you could say it’s a concept album, in which the audience wanders into our lovely little circus on the river Spree, and experiences one of my birthdays from start to finish, split across both floors of Kater Blau.

Much like my parties and my sets, the idea is for the listener to get lost in these tracks and to experience them as a whole piece. At the end of it all you leave with a feeling that maybe, just maybe, cats & music were the answers after all. Even in times like these.

We miss you!
Let’s dance!
