Since it came out in March this year, a magnificent 'Sun Chapter One' LP by Ben Kaczor has been on heavy rotation in our HQ and our Delayed Weekend Getaways. 
The multi-talented Swiss artist doesn't look to slow down with exciting original material and several remix works that are already in the pipeline. It sounds like KCZ/CZT co-founder have found his niche in a carefully constructed micro house with synth pads exhaling in long, overlapping layers and quirky percussions.
We couldn't be more thrilled to feature Kaczor's mix in our 'Delayed with...' series. This off-kilter journey has all ingredients for late nights in hazy dark basements. The mix is a well-balanced minimal, deep trip with subtle melodies, lush pads, and intricate grooves.

Delayed with... Ben Kaczor

This is a live recording, captured at Ego club in Düsseldorf, June 5 1999.  The music has been created with a self written step sequencer, the PX-18, controlling  a basic sample player and effects engine, all done in MaxMSP, running on a Powerbook G3. The step sequencer had some unique features, e.g. the ability to switch patterns independently in each track, which later became an important part of a certain music software.

I found the recording on a backup disk today. It has not been edited or mastered. During the first 20 minutes of the set, and before the 'encore' the Monolake CD 'Gobi' is playing in the background. 
 

Monolake Live at Ego Düsseldorf June 5 1999

this is what @dahmar and @moritz-kaiser did at the escape to olganitz senke-floor-closing on sunday, with some heavy support from n.akin and bender lying in front of them, while the coach was sitting on the couch. it would not have been possible without the senke floor crew, didi on artistcare duties and loda, baldelli and sutsche who kind of invented playing 45rpm vinyl on 33rpm. maybe. it was a truly magical experience, which might have to do with some magical honey which you can hear dripping out of the recordgrooves, if you listen closely. enjoy!

fuck pioneer djm 900 nexus2! x:one 92 forever!
peace!

The endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart. Its cells are embryologically and biologically similar to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. The endocardium also provides protection to the valves and heart chambers.

The endocardium underlies the much more voluminous myocardium, the muscular tissue responsible for the contraction of the heart. The outer layer of the heart is termed epicardium and the heart is surrounded by a small amount of fluid enclosed by a fibrous sac called the pericardium.

HKS97 — Endocardium

Recorded in January 2023

Always trying to deliver a mix who tell a story, according to a season or a theme. This one was recorded after 𝙉𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚, new indoor festival by the crew behind Nachtdigital. The festival took place at Weissenhäuser Strand, a holiday park on the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Many of my fav' DJs was there (Bambounou, Byron Yeates,  Gerd Janson, Helena Hauff, Job Jobse, KI/KI, Marie Montexier, etc..)and hit the different floors with masterclass. I wanted to give back with this mix the musical trip i had. 

Have a good listening!

Observatory 058 - Sungate [with Odopt & Hakk]

Live recording from our set at the Our House museum for the Howler Product Showcase during Amsterdam Dance Event 2023. Straight from vinyl, recorded by Howler (howler-audio.com).

We were delighted to have been invited to play a set full with ambient and experimental music. Something that we have been heavily collecting during the last three years. Some personal favorites, but also some records we collected during our years working at Deepgrooves Vinyl Pressing Plant. A lot of great releases passed by and we couldn't wait for the right invitation and setting to play a set filled with soundscapes, noises,  abstract beats and otherworldly adventures in which we love to indulge ourselves so much. Something for the mind, straight from the soul.

LAYER #80 | Serial Experiments + TOLOUSE LOW TRAX

Since 2014, UK-based label, https://soundcloud.com/astralindustries have been responsible for some of the most enlightening and entertaining releases of recent years. Their output has helped otherwise forgotten or out of print music see the light of day, provided new takes on previous classics, whilst also pushing forward new music by some of the most well-respected artists within the ambient genre. 

Debuting with a release by dub-techno legend DeepChord in 2014, Astral Industries went on to release Wolfgang Voigt's live project, Rückverzauberung Live In London in 2015.  In 2016 they followed with a 1985 recording from disbanded dutch collective Chi - a timeless and undoubtedly classic record, whilst in the same year pitching Wolfgang and Deepchord together for the very first time, with reinterpretations of Peter Michael Hamel's classic, Colors of Time. By then, and combined with the continually brilliant artwork of Theo Ellsworth, we knew that Astral Industries was a label with staying-power, and a growing catalog of releases worth collecting - be it just for the framed artwork, or moreover, the complete music package. 

In 2017, we've seen an LP by Heavenly Music Corporation, aka Kim Cascone (likely encouraged by the recent re-release of his own label Silent Records), a third LP by The Chi Factory, and then just last month a beautiful album by Waveform Transmission (Rod Modell of DeepChord and Chris Troy), with a sublime follow-up album, a massive 20 years after their first. 

The man behind the Astral Industries machine, Ario is a proven expert at plucking obscure gems from the past, or ensuring that good music gets the platform and artistic presentation it deserves. In just a few years, Ario has curated a highly respected and anticipated label roster that demands attention, and has yet to disappoint. The music is always gentle, deep and often extremely vivid, be it deeply hypnotic ambient, or gentle murmurs of dub-techno. 

With curatorial talents like this, we're overjoyed to host an exclusive 2hr+ mix of Ario digging into his record collection, and interlocking a few select exclusive Astral Industries bits in-between. It's one hell-of-a hypnotic journey and just like the Astral Industries releases, deserved of your full undivided, escapist attention.

It was the 1st anniversary of @transition_bln and I couldn't believe back than that I would once hold an own night in club in Berlin and was just thankful and decided just to play tracks that I truly love. So you could hear lots of essential @transition_bln tracks in there I used to play a lot back than and got truly caught in this flow for some hours.

I heated up the floor for the mighty @normal4 and @engyn_vs_musk They both are very special for me as they believed and understand the vision I had back than for Transition:

provide dreamy trance infused dancefloor content:

Just happy and thankful how this little 👼 grew and just turned 6 years. Today we are 5 wonderful human beings trying to push this baby every time to new hights in his new home @about.blank.berlin .

Transition:

put off your dancing shoes.
