Einzelkind @ Jenseits Darmstadt Complete Set

☞ O.BEE 
Known for dancing in between different genres and styles, juggling the tradition and the avant-garde, O.BEE generates obscure yet familiar sonic landscapes, in a signature style that reflects his own musical identity; optimistic yet rebellious and filled by passion. Liberating the dance floor from the accustomed rules and stepping away from functional expectations, he instead cultivates musical trips for both the dancer and the listener. Juxtaposing the stimulating environments of both a intense rave and a concert hall. 

O.BEE's evocative and sophisticated approach to his sets is also reflected in his own music. He has been working hard in and out of the studio with his partner, Rona Budak, on their project “Enstantane”, which functions as both a record label and an multi-disciplinary artist collective. Enstantane 001 is to be released in the second half of 2018, along with an event series and the subscription based website enstantane.io. 

☞ Tomas Station 
Growing up between Bogotá and Chicago, Tomás experienced at an early age a clash of cultures and sounds that would open doors to a lifelong musical obsession.  

For the past few years Tomás has kept on the move, constantly searching for new sounds and experiences, rapidly building a reputation for himself as an exciting up-and-coming talent. His productions on labels such as Daily session NY, Descendants Of The Deep, Moody Recordings and Future Funktion have captivated the likes of Danny Krivit, Raresh, Magda and Douglas Sherman (The Loft), to name a few, while his electrifyingly unpredictable taste as a DJ and curator has earned him more than one spot at the decks alongside some of the most respected selectors and DJ’s around. 

While living in NY he worked as music buyer for Halcyon The Shop and as booker and resident for Kolekti and Zodiac Social, hosting parties with Soul In The Hole (Sadar Bahar & Lee Collins), Metro Area & Mark Grusane, amongst many others.  

He recently returned to Brooklyn after some years on the road to work on his most recent endeavours which include Jigit, a record label and collective alongside Turkish DJ and producer O.BEE and visual artist Asli Tunaman that released his debut EP under the Irie Nation moniker and to consolidate his long time friendship with the ReSolute party and agency where he will be joining the roster and acting as one of the resident DJ’s.

☞ Between young talents and renowned artists, Yoyaku's aim is to promote the best of electronic music, all around the world, by supporting artists in their progression, as a label, a record store, and a brand. Long-standing and more recent collaborations come together to form a close-knit community, allowing the artists in the roster to meet and sometimes share the decks for exciting events.

O.BEE & Tomas Station @ Machine Du Moulin Rouge - Yoyaku

Wow, time flies! When I think it's been 6 years already... I remember as if it was yesterday, when on some random early autumn afternoon my good friend Jerome called me. "What are you up to in two weeks?", he asked. "Nothing in particular, why?" "We got a slot at CDV for you!" I think that's the words every passionate DJ of our small and precious cosmos of music enthusiasts likes to hear. :)

Two weeks later, arrived in Berlin, it was very special to me. Also because it was my friend Fabi's birthday additionally. This was also when I met my friend Mikhail aka Studnev. But besides the good vibrations between friends it was also kinda nerve wracking to me - playing at CDV the first time... exciting!

On the day of the event the weather was quite bad, it was end of September, so it was quite chilly for a night at CDV, and we were unsure of being able to open at all, as it was even raining in the early afternoon. 

A few hours later, as the weather had changed for good, Fabi, Chris, Mikhail, some friends and me were standing there, on the terrace of CDV, on a late and cool afternoon in September. First all by ourselves, excited what’s to come.

I started to play, I had the first slot and I had prepared some weird ambient music for the beginning. As I've been playing a bit I kinda sensed, that everybody, including myself, was a feeling bit tense and I felt that the weird music I was playing made the tension even stronger, haha. So I had a couple of drinks, and just let myself go, I tried to not think too much about what I was doing and just play from my heart to create a kinda loose and not to serious vibe with my music. 

And this is where this cut emerged. It's the third hour of my set, we all have had a couple of drinks, and I had the feeling that it was working out. Everybody seemed to relax and so did I. It's the part where I have the most emotions attached to. It's kinda weird and not heading to a certain direction, and that's what makes this cut so special to me, as I can hear I was not thinking too much, but surrendering to the music and the moment. 

In the end I think it all worked out great, the club was filled with smiling faces, all the DJs played great, a lot of friends showed up and I also met new friends - everybody seemed to have a good time. I remember it to be a very special night to me and I am greatful for the experience to CDV, my hosts Fabi & Chris, Mikhail and all the friends that showed up and generally to everybody who has been supporting me over the years!

Cheers mates!

Experience is everything.  Seeing people experience new music or how it is delivered in its journey is a signature of Ft Mode.
Having grown up surrounded by percussion and then being exposed in the 90’s to the underground warehouse scene, Ft Mode started a ten year journey through early rave techno to hiphop ( including wining a few hiphop turntable battle comps ).
He then stepped away to focus in the studio on production after returning to the house and techno scene thankfully to two close respected friends & artists Yokoo and Australian historical techno icon Biz and the now closed Lost Baggage club events that were held in Sydney. He was inspired by the likes of Rpr Soundsystem, Ricardo Villalobos, Magda, Dubfire and Luciano and the forward thinking and refreshing approach that they carry and still is today.
More recently Ft Mode has been playing at events and venues throughout Australia and has supported and warmed up for artists such as Ellen Allien, Sven Vath, Len Faki, Dyed Soundorom, Ben Sims, AlexKid, Dubfire, Emerson Todd, Guy Gerber, Maya Jane Coles, Matthias Tenzmann and much more, with invites continuing to provide local and international podcast mixes also.
His sound is always continuing to grow while having a grounded focus on a dub house, techno and minimal Ft Mode continues to be inspired from the likes of Sonja Moonear,  Tini, Anthea, Livio & Roby, Alci, Raresh, Cabanne. He has always been about delivering a new experience and something fresh while looking into the past and connecting together with the crowd.
Peace&enjoy.
Ft Mode.
