While dance music imprint ESP Institute functions both in NYC and L.A., they’re at their curatorial best when unearthing talent from around the world, be it Japan’s COS/MES, Australia’s Michael Ozone, or Amsterdam’s Young Marco. Here, they introduce the Munich trio Tambien, consisting of Marvin Schuhmann, Valentino Betz, and Beni Brachtel. The A-side, “Drogato,” features drum circle-style percussion and menacing laser blasts at the start, adding in pistoning drum machines that pushes the driving track even higher.

Sometimes we happen to take some of the fundamental aspects that guide our main mission for which this platform is a crucial resource for granted, even if we never underestimate their place in what makes it something singular amid the multitude of similar content that can be found online. Take eclecticism for example, a quintessential characteristic of every single contribution to the series and an overall quality that is pursued by each of the guests we have in the construction of their deeply personal musical narratives. Not a mean feat, if we take into account the sheer diversity of rhythmic patterns and harmonic structures involved that need to be concatenated cohesively or, at the very least, sequenced harmoniously to be able to engulf us in its motional thrust and emotional pull. The greatness of all the mixes featured in this collection lies in the fact that they rely mostly on both a delicate play of moods and an intricate balance of forces, managing to harness their energy and use it towards stimulating our bodies, exciting our senses, enticing our minds and warming our hearts in the process. This episode is no exception, quite the opposite, as Lago brings his singular selective sensibility and elegant use of skills to weave an enthralling thread of gliding grooves that intertwine with alluring melodies from all over the globe.

Last Sunday, Eternal Love joined me for a special Free Association on Soho Radio.  Straight off the back of a big party weekend for us all, we kept the club-energy going with a b3b all the way through the show.  

Kicking it off with the new release from @ines on @workethic - there are other recent faves in the mix from @balearicensemble @tombolas @makeadance @mirella_records @maurizioedandolo @dwaynegonzalez @mrbongo as well as an exclusive forthcoming remix from the E.L. boys for @dardisku 

Dig in, this one’s a real treat.

Here Llupe and  DJ Aficionado the 2/3 of Orbita gives you a two hour and twelve minutes disco mix. A soundtrack created with the mindset of the early start of a party in the club.
