Chapter 4 - Faith

As beautiful as the human desire for eternal love. My heart is full, your cup is empty. Heads turning, eyes yearning as you move towards the door. Panic suddenly becomes the flavor of the month and in an attempt to open the door for you, I almost knock you over.

"Oh, I am so sorry."
"Oh that's an unusual name. If you are So Sorry then I am Happy Go-Lucky."

Now I know this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
We both step outside, you smile and point to a red scooter that is parked a cross the street.

"Do you have any plans Mr. Sorry? That red scooter can take you to the Plage Pampelonne in no time." 
"No plans and no reason to be Sorry anymore. My real name is Erik." 
"Enchanté, Erik. My name is Faith."

We shake hands and there is a moment of silence… I love silence… Silence is golden if you share it with someone.

You start the engine and when I put my arms around you, I feel life embrace me.

La Plage Pampelonne is wonderful and the rest of the day is filled to overflow with feelings that cannot be described in words. No need to know why you decide to be my everything. All that I know, is that I got to have Faith.

Chapter 7 - Make Love

I treasure the sounds of nightlife yet to be explored. Hopes and dreams, laughter and love. These sounds remind me of the feeling I used to have as a child, just outside the local amusement park. Hand in hand with a parent or two, anticipating an evening filled with happiness and a taste of the unexpected. Happiness and perhaps the pleasure of daring to try something new.

We walk down the Avenue Paul Signac and I wish you could see your self with my blue eyes. Then you would know just how beautiful you are. Those ember eyes, a glittering prize for anyone looking for the everlasting. I can sense that you are having a hard time taking in my somewhat, over the top, romantic notions. It makes you a bit uncertain, for sure, but I can't help my self. This is how you make me feel. I never paid any attention to lessons about the point of holding back a heart. Guided by neon lights I am taking you to Les Caves du Roy because it defies age and time. Just like my love for you. Outside the entrance of Byblos my aim is true. I'm gonna make you love me, I'm gonna make you need me, tonight...

moodblanc - Make Love (Filter Bear Remix)

Australian DJ and Producer, Filter Bear has seen unprecedented success through 2014, including two top 10 tracks in the Beatport Chillout Chart as part of a healthy catalogue of releases across the year.

As we head into 2015, Butter EP perfectly showcases Filter Bear's keen ear for deep, progressive soundscapes. The title track has beautifully understated drums, allowing the rich piano hook to take centre stage and to really set the mood for the whole release. Long term friend of the label, Simon Firth offers a more groove-led interpretation with chunkier drums. This clever rework switches up the core components; tucking in the hook and bringing the orchestral strings further forward in the mix to create greater intensity, especially in the breakdown.

Nine Eight is a Deep House/Chillout hybrid also with lush piano keys at it's core; this time a fuller melody in place of a hook. Some tasty percussion work helps carry the track and it's listener nicely along on a warm and fuzzy journey. Berlin-based Bin Okin turns in a stellar remix; rebuilding the orchestral arrangement on a Minimal Techno foundation, which presents a more dance floor friendly departure from the original.

Minx - All Because Of You (Filter Bear Remix) [Tinted Records]

Good friends from Australia, Filter Bear and Luka Sambe, are back once again on Agara.

We are happy about this because they are both great people to work with and very talented musicians. This time around it is Filter Bear's first release here. The title track Second Amnesia is a laid back melodic electronica track with FB's familiar piano skills. It works either on a rainy day or a chilled out day at the beach. 
Luka Sambe added his own progressive house flavour to this tune. He brightened it up a lot and made it a lot more up-lifting. Also adding his awesome nature filled atmosphere to it. Once again a magical journey that Luka is known for.

The second tune from Filter Bear on this release is, Lola Once, a cool tech house tune that will be usable in almost any set. Something more for the dance floors. Lots of cool delay effects and slight builds will keep the energy moving. A very well rounded package here with something for everyone.

Featuring on the TOUR DE TRAUM X compilation.

A special original piece, with a lot of emotion. 

Forthcoming on Germany's famed TRAUM Schallplatten label on 20th July 2015.

In the words of the label, "Filter Bear’s track „Mosaic“ is mesmerising songwriting that weaves psychedelic aspects of music with exceptional vocals and a metamorphosis."

With the Tour De Traum X we have refined our direction in releasing only music we think is exciting, contemporary electronic music. Music we selected over the last 6 months.
This time we feature top melodic techno music, minimalistic music and abstract electronica, but we have also included some trax which will polarize in a big way.
So be warned you cannot prepare yourself for what you will hear... - See more at: http://www.traumschallplatten.de/traum/traumcddig35/traumcddigital35.html#sthash.2D7ZtBMt.dpuf

I was recently asked to make a track to serve as a background theme for an artist website (Victoria Freeman - UK). Her artworks and photography are highly emotive and moody, so the music was written to compliment her visual style.

This is the result. Enjoy!

Recently I had the absolute pleasure of returning to play for the infamous S.A.S.H. crew on a Sunday night. This was up there with one of my favourite gigs to date.

The mix is pretty raw, with a wide selection of sounds. Most importantly this set was purely from the heart - nothing else to be said. Something different was in the air that night.

Release Date : 27/06/16

For our 13th release we travel 'down under' and welcome Filter Bear, with a touching piece of music entitled 'We Expire'. 
Beautifully crafted beats build you up gently to an emotional piano motif which takes center stage - stunning!

Fellow Aussie and good friend, Luka Sambe, is another welcome addition to the Slideways roster as he ramps things up a 
notch with his melodious tones.

The second and final interpretation is provided by Be Morais who once again brings his excellent signature sound to 
Slideways.

Filter Bear - We Expire (Original Mix) [Slideways] // OUT NOW

The latest release on Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Filter Bear to the label for his first EP. Hailing from Sydney, Australia Michael Lokchin aka Filter Bear made his production debut in December of 2013. His unique combination of melody, soul and dance floor ready grooves made him an instant favourite amongst melodic techno DJs.  Storied German imprint Traum took notice and signed Filter Bear's 'Mosaic' and 'Eternity' to their famed 'Tour De Traum' series. The tracks proved to be some of the Aussie artist's most poignant creations to date and the underground has been hungry for new material ever since. Now presenting just his second release of 2016 Filter Bear makes his much anticipated Replug debut with an exquisite two track EP entitled 'La Rinconada'. 

The title piece 'La Rinconada' leads the EP off and once again shows why the underground has become so enamoured with Filter Bear's musical creations. Clattering drums, bent tones and radiant textures converge for a gorgeous intro, before smooth chord changes and delicate harmonies lift the mood higher. It's elegance immediately draws you in before a piano led break pulls the heartstrings all the more. A touch cinematic, Filter Bear's widescreen vision leads to a third act of heart-melting melodies, exotic percussion and enlightening atmospheres. A gorgeous beginning to the EP.

The companion piece 'Chemist Friend' finds Filter Bear collaborating with vocalist KayLove for a wonderful complementary track to close the EP. Geared for late night play, the piece is highlighted by dubby rhythms, creamy mallets and nostalgic wails. As it's slow burning intensity grows the musical themes become increasingly poignant and all the more alluring. Following a sentimental break it's dusty percussion and low end rumblings bring further character, before the elusive motifs rise again for an elegant finale. Every now and then a piece of music comes along which touches people on a more subversive, spiritual level; Filter Bear has certainly achieved that here. A stunning conclusion to a great Replug debut for the Aussie artist. Don't miss it.

With 'Sonata in a Daze' we welcome Australian sound maestro Filter Bear to ICONYC with his latest masterpiece. Filter Bear who is been causing quite a stir with his deep stirring house influenced productions. He has released on labels like Replug, Slideways, Traum and Nuit Blanche amongst others, and has gathered massive support from the world's finest including Sasha, Hot Since '82, Nick Warren, Pig and Dan, Chaim, Eelke Kleijn, Hector Romero, Behrouz, X-Press 2 to Armin Van Buuren.

His latest outing shows maturity and musical development as we kick off proceedings with the title track 'Sonata in a Daze', an expressive, progressive house influenced track, interspersing with roomy glowing love and filtered stabs, which beautifully leads into the dreamlike drop to round off this brilliant underground crowd pleaser, with its understated yet driving bassline powering the groove along. Filter Bear manages to keep the energy up, subtlety allowing the driving house feel to shine thru over the many layers and textures to create a beautiful soundscape.

To close out Filter Bear's stunning EP we have the deep, hypnotic 'Together in May' featuring New York based vocalist Shane Hagan, which is interspersed with subtle effective percussion a profound deep-tech groove and indie influence, turning this one into an underground anthem with a very soul tangling appeal. In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Filter Bear and a wonderful way to start his affiliation with ICONYC, as he once more shows his sound remains as fresh, super-charged and relevant as he ever was.

Filter Bear's – Sonata in a Daze see's a worldwide release on April 10th, 2017 exclusively via Beatport. Not to be missed!

Sonata in a Daze EP

Filter Bear - Sonata in a Daze (Original Mix) [ICONYC]

Filter Bear - Together in May feat. Shane Hagan (Original Mix) [ICONYC]

Here we find a very sophisticated package from the ever reliable Lost & Found label, as some label favourites collaborate, and also invite a house music legend on remix duties.

Luka Sambe & Filter Bear have previously collaborated, and have remixed each other, as well as both having successful solo music careers too. Here they deliver a superb track together entitled 'Hebe XVI'.

Getting to the music, the original kicks things off, and its skippy swagger is encapsulated from the off, as layers swirl in and out, and percussion floats over this afro grooved gem. A musical journey ensues as swirling pads, tinkling melodies, and even orchestral tones enter the layered masterpiece. This is a timeless musical voyage, that undulates and peaks organically and oozes class throughout.

For those that have been around for a while on the scene, will know Charles Webster as a bit of a musical institution, a true master of his game. We are spoilt here, with two mixes from the main man.

Charles' 'Mix 1' takes things deep and sleazy, a tad techier than how work he's best known for, yet superbly done, as distorted percussion joins the swaggering late night vibe thats laced with a touch of acid, yet light shines through as brilliant use of the original top line bring a different slant to the direction of the remix. Very cool indeed.

Charles 'Mix 4' is more akin to the sound we know and love from him, as we go seriously deep, with a quality remix of the highest order. Sultry moodiness, is wrapped in a blanket of deepness, but with a hint of classic American house to boot. Just what the doctor ordered.

Luka Sambe & Filter Bear - Hebe XVI

Remixing the electronica piece ‘Lucent Amongst Black’ is Michael Lokchin, aka Filter Bear. A relatively new player, but in no way is he to be underlooked. A regular collaborator with Luka Sambe, with their recent release on “Lost & Found”, and holding an equally strong profile as a solo artist with music on Riley & Jacquieline Reinhold’s “Traum Schallplatten”, Cid Inc’s “Replug”, Tim Penner’s “Slideways” & John Johnson’s “ICONYC” make Filter Bear a recognizable name. His remix pays homage to the beauty of the original, keeping most of the memorable elements intact, whilst adding his hypnotic & soothing soundscapes on a bed of a pulsing groove, swaying in & out of phrases like a true storyteller.

Kicking off 2018 after a very successful 2017 we welcome Filter Bear (Lost & Found, TRAUM Schallplatten) to Lowbit with 'Never In'. 'Never In' follows Filter Bears unique blend of energy and melodies in his productions. With its deep and progressive groove, growling bassline and intricate and lush piano melodies, this is another feather in the hat for Filter Bear.

Filter Bear also delivers a re-work of the track in 'Filter Bear’s Midnight Swim Reimagination', going super deep, creating a real hypnotic laid-back almost drug induced feeling, you just want to close your eyes and enjoy.

Wrapping up the release we have another new encounter on Lowbit with We Need Cracks (Anjunadeep, TRAUM Schallplatten), who take the original to new heights with a more energetic, proper dance floor progressive house track. If the original is for warming up, this remix is for the peak time moments!

Swiftly following Nick Warren & Tripswitch’s huge ‘Voight Kampff’ (ODST003) release, the recently launched onedotsixtwo label’s next unique artistic step forward comes in the form of another intensely creative collaborative pairing - Luka Sambe & Filter Bear. As two of Australia’s finest creators of emotional journeys bursting with melody and soul, these rapidly rising stars have created a truly unique and spellbinding experience in ‘Birds Of The Ravine’. This outstanding package is further augmented with an exceptional individual remix interpretation from each artist.

The deeply delicious ‘Birds Of The Ravine’ floats beautifully on a sophisticated groove, its magnificently intricate arrangement gradually unveiling an utterly enthralling musical story. When these two artists collaborate, something uniquely special always seems to flow from their hearts. Luka Sambe’s groove sensitivity and mind-bending percussive style flows like a liquid cloud when combined with Filter Bear’s atmospheric chord progressions and subtle motifs. For his solo remix, Luka Sambe, beefs up his groove components and adds some delightful esoteric elements, creating yet another melodic masterpiece. In perfect creative contrast, Filter Bear dives deep into experimental electronica territory, creating the perfect filmic finale for this exceptional package.

When Luka Sambe and Filter Bear first met as young teenagers in suburban Sydney, Australia, one thing was immediately evident - an almost unhealthy, shared obsession with music. Living just a few streets apart, a close friendship developed and led to the start of a musical partnership stretching over 10 years. Over time, they have developed their unique individual approach and creative style, that has resulted in numerous solo and collaborative releases on leading underground labels such as Lost & Found, TRAUM Schallplatten, Armadillo, Sudbeat, Replug, and many more. Combined, their personal and honest art becomes a distinct Luka Sambe & Filter Bear production that sounds truly unique, and it is no wonder that their work is strongly embraced and supported by fellow creative mavericks such as Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Solomun, Sébastien Léger and Robert Babicz, to name but a few.

Nick Tripswitch’s onedotsixtwo label venture launched in June 2017 with his first mix comp - ‘In At The Deep End’ (ODST0001) - a stylish summer affair featuring no less than 23 exclusive tracks that joined the dots perfectly between past, present and future. Now, the renowned DJ/Producer and musical chameleon is revealing a series of stunning single releases from a new family of friends and collaborators. There is an abundance of excellent music to come in 2018 and you are advised to keep your ears to the underground…

Luka Sambe & Filter Bear - Birds of the Ravine (Filter Bear Remix)

"Filter Bear has contributed fantastic music on several Tour De Traum releases and delivers again a track with a great deal of affection. Exceptional is his skill to dwell deep on shifting perspectives within a
track constantly moving into different places and thereby creating a very special mood. He short circuits and creates feedback in a very personal way."
