Longstanding @closer-lisnyiprychal resident and founder of the sadly defunct Closer Record Store. Now Berlin-based Shakolin shares his mind and mystics.

It’s not a very unusual thing for our podcast series to have someone as a pair. For b2b or just as a project – check even the previous mix, it was made by Brawther AND Tristan Da Cunha. But – a married couple of DJs – and not just DJs, but good ones, is still a rare thing on the scene. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/trommel-176-shakolin-karine/]

Записати 20-й епізод DTF Magazine ми запросили одеського продюсера та диджея @svzz_bm 

Одразу даємо слово артистові: «Цей мікс я записував з бажанням ввести слухача в меланхолійний транс. У процесі сам у нього впав і, до речі, на диво, відчув спокій. Думав, як найкраще описати свій стан у цей момент? Тиша. Це внутрішня перерва від метушні, страху, тривоги. Я знаю, що в цьому не один, що я не самотній. Ця збірка треків викликає особисто в мене ностальгію за мирним літом. Ці півтори години я вдома, у тиші та без тривоги».

▪️ SVZZ — одеський диджей та електронний продюсер, тепер живе в Києві. Перший мініальбом — MOM ON THE RAVE [MOTR001] — випустив у 2019 році. У 2023-му, окрім окремих треків і реміксів, випустив два мініальбоми TCH та Exp Epа, а також представив альтер его під назвою Gayera (з альбомом LIMBO).

Видавався на лейблах Progressive Future, Polygon, Ovelhatrax, Crazed Behavior, грав у Києві в клубах ∄ (клуб на Кирилівській, 41), Closer, Colider, а також в Одесі, Львові, Харкові та за кордоном — у Spitana (Краків), Mjut (Лейпциг), Oxi (Берлін), Re:mise (Берлін), Cel (Катовіце), Wyspa Tamka (Вроцлав).

EstimuloShow GUEST MIX: Orbit (Genie In A Bottle, Secret Keeper)

Shakolin is a long-time resident DJ of Closer club and the founder of Closer Record Store (defunct since 2023 due to his relocation from Kyiv to Berlin). With over 15 years of playing records and running the record store so loved by the most discerning diggers, it’s no surprise that his knowledge of electronic music will match one of a librarian. That perfectly shows in Shakolin’s DJ sets abounding in old and new sounds - functional yet never straight-up club music, his records are a journey that’s deep and mystical, groovy and freakish. With exceptional easiness, he weaves them into powerful, punchy, and infectious dance stories.

FLV 022 - Shakolin

The wonderful Karine steps up for our 40th MASS podcast. It's an honour to present her beautiful sound which has long been at the heart of Kiev's Closer club. 

As long time booker at the beloved club and now based in Berlin, Karine's subtle sound is a product of dedication to this culture. Lean, tasteful rhythms blend effortlessly, packed with a bite that the Ukrainian sound embodies so well

My first mix in six months! Needless to say, there was a few tunes that needed a good rinsing! Keeping it fun on this one, mostly "funky" music at lower and mid tempos! Hope you enjoy! Leave a comment if ya like it!

Do you know Jamie Bennett? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t, maybe you heard one of your friends whisper: “That’s the Crown Ruler guy." One thing is undoubtedly true – Australia’s music scene wouldn’t be the same without Jamie’s influence. The wonderful Crown Ruler brand has exerted its influence throughout the country and far beyond. If this is news to you, start looking a little closer to home and you’ll spot the clues.

We’ll keep this intro brief – a cheeky web-surf will provide plenty of thoughtful write ups on the man’s roots. We think Jamie’s an incredible DJ. A trove of aural excellence comes through in this mix; Lovers rock, sun-kissed gems, and plenty of soulful rarities from all corners. It’s a little less about genre and a little more about mood.

When we joked with Jamie that the cost of the records in this mix alone must be his retirement fund, he slyly shot back: "That's my super." It’s hard to explain the effort, the research, and even the resources that go into pulling together the sort of collections that are at the heart of a mix like this. Perhaps that’s a little digger-to-digger nod, a silent sign of appreciation at the incredibly impractical art of carting around bags and bags of records in this day and age.

Our admiration goes beyond knowing the work involved. Hearing and experiencing Jamie’s talent through Waxflower’s speakers was, for us, a thing of joy. And at the heart of it all is Jamie’s love of music. We were honoured to have him play on the wheels at Wax. Music and Human connection, Enjoy!
