When I'm on tour travelling I like to do edits. While waiting in airports, cars, vans, trains, customs, hotels, soundchecks I do them. This is one of my favourites. 

Ishinohana - Lucía (John Talabot's Sunset edit)

On our premiere series today we have a deep and mystical track by Unders called 'Syria'. The track has been woven with some beautiful, organic undertones that will take you on a heady trip of timeless and nostalgic dimensions. Enjoy. 

'Syria' will be released on the label SolSelectas on 14th March, 2016 with another lovely remix of the original by Satori.

AZUR - ISRA (Original Mix)

The exotic ‘Sombra India’ gets to works with slick guitar licks and a driving beat, enhanced with powerful and captivating vocals from Eduardo Castillo. Already a firm favourite of Damain Lazarus and Luciano, this has been getting a huge response on dance floors this summer. On the flip and the cut-up Afro-house ‘Sanura’ is highly exotic driving monster of a tune, no messing around, straight to the dance floor!

Eduardo Castillo’s music encompasses his depth in the study of the industry and influences stemming from a South American and European upbringing.  His studies in music composition, orchestration and opera provide him with a vast understanding of harmonies, dynamics and musical textures.  Eduardo uses a subtle ethnomusicologist’s approach to music.  His record collection reads like a music history book.  In fact his eclecticism is quite enticing.  Sounds of Jazz, Avant –Garde, Middle Eastern, South American, Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and electronic minimalism, can be heard in his compositions, his singing, his dj sets, and his playing of instruments, whether in their pure form or intertwined with down, mid and up-tempo electronic treatments.  
Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for.  An effort is always made to have a fresh organic sound while inevitably providing touches of technological advances shaping music today, never overwhelming and always sophisticated and tasteful.

Eduardo's mission is to always become a storyteller from beginning to end. Every record he plays has a very important intention. The music in his selections does not just fill time, it weaves in and out with dynamic and texture. The music, and his improvisational live remixing, are brush strokes on a canvas that once he's reached the end, will look like a world of realism and fantasy all in one. He's a master at layering the musical with the technical and the surreal with the real.
Eduardo always leaves an indelible mark with his style and impeccable understanding of his environment.

Eduardo Castillo has several releases on the groundbreaking Crosstown Rebels label, Sol Selectas, Half Seas Over.   He is the founder of the infamous HABITAS, GRAND PARK SUNDAY SESSIONS, VOODOO, AND PATTERN BAR from Los Angeles.  He is as passionate about creating magical experiences as he is about leading listeners in a beautifully crafted sonic journey.

12. Masaya - Inside {Malbetrieb & THC Edition} 
13. Masaya - Time Goes Fast {Paul Nolan Edition}

Release Info: 
The final act unfolds. Chapter 24 serves up a powerful 13 track album that finds a wealth of originals from Masaya’s debut, Picking Up The Pieces, getting the Editions treatment by top artists including Ripperton, Petar Dundov, Patrice Baumel, Johannes Brecht and many more. They make for essential listening. 

First out of the bag, Kurt Baggaley flips Walking Dad into a deep spine tingling number that will infuse and fill the dance floor with warmth and soul. Love over Entropy’s take on Haumea is deep but more driving, with slick synth modulations colouring the grooves, then Swiss master Ripperton builds lots of tension with his brooding techno remix of Flow of Tears. 

As well as a starry and cosmic Edition from Nhar, a tense and edgy take from Neil Flynn and a melodically excellent variation from Croatian Petar Dundov, the album includes a slow and haunting rework from David Durango and a skittish, broken beat kicker from Patlac.

The final third of the collection hones in on simmering techno from Johannes Brecht, a loose house roller from VVerses and masterfully seductive and steamy tech house from Patrice Baumel. Closing things out in fitting style are a rumbling epic from Malbetrieb and THC, and Paul Nolan’s delicate take on Time Goes Fast.

These works all breathe plenty of new life into the still standout originals from the Swiss Chilean artist and are sure to do plenty of damage on the dancefloor this summer. The 24th Chapter is at last revealed in full.

2016 saw the successful release of The Deep Sea And Its Rivals by Unfug scale the charts and following the overwhelming support for the Harpune remix competition, a full remix album felt the logical next step. Careful selection was made with each remixer to produce very special treatments of every track in order to create a stunning undersea take on the original album. Taking influence from a life growing up near and around the briny depths of Germany's Northern coast and now residing in the relative calm of Denmark’s capital city, Copenhagen, Unfug guides on a trip among the waves of sonic delight to visit the creatures that lurk below the crests and the mysteries unknown to humankind; unmarked on any atlas. 

“It all started with the title track. It is one of the few on the album featuring some sort of vocals.” says Unfug. So who better than Kompakt regular, Marten Sundberg to start things off with Atlas, which he takes into fairly jazzy and upbeat territory utilizing a catchy hook in the main break to capture our attention. A deeply hypnotic affair, Wolfgng’s take on Shipwreck keeps things fairly muted giving the auditory impression of sinking; its claustrophobic atmosphere really drives the track forward. 

After the hugely successful Bootleg Ben remix of Poseidon, label mate Max Jacobs had a lot to do. Devilishly deep and atmospheric, he does a magnificent job of translating Unfug’s original idea with nuanced touches throughout.  The remix of Pray For The Lost sees Pilofre back after a year away from the Gibbon family. He turns in a respectful and satisfying re-imagination of one of Unfug’s stand out originals. Moving on, the opening barely audible vocals and deliberate tribal percussion of Drew Miller’s remix of The Deep Sea And Its Rivals signals a change in tone on the album swapping the mangled guitars of the original for some skippy percussive synth hits and a rubbery bass line. 

“I always had a thing for concept albums and themed music. My favourite records are actually concept albums, stuff like Crack the Skye or Frances The Mute (if you’re familiar with Prog Rock/Metal). The other thing is that I always liked the sea. The calm yet unpredictable movement of silent waters.” - Unfug 

Harpune, according to Unfug, was the result of playing around with a new synth. The bass growl of which has not been overlooked by fellow Germans, Oemtilde and the Hamburg natives therefore construct a thoughtful, deep reworking that sticks very closely to Unfug’s original ideas. Next up is label boss Benwaa for his remix of Gotteslachs. 

No slouch in the studio, Benwaa ups the tempo and unleashes a powerful remake using the originals guitars to great effect. Oxlaid and Ometilde’s remix of A Strange Sea focuses on the powerful vocal, around which they construct something of a progressive house masterclass with glistening guitars, silky saw-toothed bass and a whole lot of soul. Weighing in next, Bootleg Ben wields his considerable talents on Whales. Originally considered for the opening track of the original album, Ben takes the atmospheric ambience and throws in some brilliantly balanced deep progressive beats to keep things rolling. 

“Geisterfisch differs a bit from the rest of the album as it’s slower than the rest and celebrates that psychedelic vibe.” Unfug tells us, suitably, theMaLm delivers a beautifully ambient and shoegazy version focusing on those guitars and more relaxed vibe serving as a wonderful ending to a sensational album of remixes. Each track compels us to embrace the power of the sea and its own small story, leading us into a personal world not just of the Whales, Shipwrecks or Poseidon, but also showing us what A Strange Sea this is. Where the Geisterfisch swim alongside the Gotteslachs, and men wrestle in the oceans wake readying their Harpune, whilst they Pray For The Lost... A Deep Sea And Its Rivals will leave you breathless once more.

Press: A Quasar is the most luminous object in the known universe. It emits extreme amounts of visible light, but radiates like crazy on all other wavelengths, as well. Here you can get as close to a particularly energetic Quasar as no man has ever been before - during an adventurous space flight with Felix Eul and a bunch of other well-travelled sound cosmonauts. This voyage takes you to the final frontiers and beyond where you might even encounter strange aliens like the Pianoctopus, known to sneak its tentacles into the ears of unsuspecting astronauts and to tickle their skullcaps from the inside. By the way, during our flight we might experience turbulences which you will experience as sudden, adrenaline-loaded outbursts of euphoria. They are caused by transdimensional discharges along the wings of our spaceship, a phenomenon known as Interplay.
