Hello friends! Here is the recording of my very first set at Stereo Montréal

A place that truly feels like (((home))) 

A room that means so much to many of us and that sparks wonders for those who haven't been yet. A space where we can be free, all together. A spaceship that uses vibrations to bend space and time. A temple where music becomes alive.

It was an honour to have the chance to play in this room for 11 hours to the most amazing group of humans. It's been a dream of mine for so many years to have the chance to play there and it's one of most meaningful moments I ever lived. Stars were aligned, the collective energy was truly beautiful and I am happy to be able to share with you the soundtrack of that night. 

Thanks to all the @stereonightclub team for the incredible work to co-create such a sacred space for music. 

A special thanks to Luc for the cosmic visuals during the night.

And thanks to all of you family and friends who joined the journey.

This is Part One, between 00:00 and 06:08 am.

With love,

Mikael

Pura Vida friends - It’s with goosebumps that I share with you the recording of my sunrise set at Envision 2023 in the jungle of Uvita in Costa Rica. 

It was an honour to have the chance to soundtrack the last sunrise of the festival on the Lapa Stage. 

It’s my second time participating at this powerful gathering, but the first time doing a deep dive and camping on site for 7 days. What an incredible experience! The jungle comes with its challenges, including the heat, the humidity, the bugs and the lack of sleep. But it’s so much worth it!

I believe these moments outside the comfort of our home are actually allowing us to feel alive, bond with our fellow camp companions, and appreciate the highs even more. 

  Apart from being an incredibly unique festival experience with a beautifully diverse music programming, the one thing that is blowing my mind is its focus on sustainability, innovation and environmental initiatives. 

Let’s not fool ourselves, a lot of foreigners including artists are flying from around the world for this event like many other destination festivals, so there’s clearly an important carbon footprint coming from that movement. 

But once you get to the festival grounds, you can instantly feel that respecting Mother Nature is at the core of the intentions of Envision. From the bamboo used to build the stages to the respect of the land, from the water consumption to the fully compostable food merchants, from the waste management to the Eco Hub where you can learn about ecology…

The most exciting thing I discovered is the “SOMOS EL CAMBIO” project that is a reforestation initiative in partnership with the local indigenous communities that invites the participants to adopt trees and plant various species to create a natural corridor that links the top of the mountain to the sea, which is essential for water systems, fauna and flora. 

In addition to that, Envision offers an abundance of workshops, discussions, meditations, sound healings, women’s circles, vegan food, healthy drinks…proof that a large scale sonic gathering can actually evolve into a transformative experience beyond entertainment. That’s in my opinion an important vessel for change on the individual and collective scale and I’m hopeful a lot of events around the world will take this direction that is more aligned with Earth’s frequency. 

 Days and nights flew by, and suddenly it’s Sunday morning…time to get ready! All the stories, conversations and inspirations from different events during the week lead me to collect clues and pieces of the puzzle along the way which brought me have a better idea of what I would want to play for the sunrise moment. 

The Sunday programming was awesome, with music from  Marques Wyatt, Zach Walker, SIS and Township Rebellion. I started at 4:30 am as the night was still dark, following up Township who played a really cool energetic nocturnal session. He landed with quite a groovy track and it felt the energy was really high on the floor when I got to start. 

So quite in the opposite polarity of a traditional evolving set, this one started with a quite electric feel, blooming into a warmer and light daytime morning vibe.  

The first beams of light started appearing as I played ‘Tantale’ - Rafaelle jumped in at this moment to add vocals and it felt like a symbolic timing to transition from Luna to Sol energy.  

Thanks to my partner Ashley for joining me in this journey, my awesome Montréal friends Dexter, Gabrielle, Patrice, Rafaelle, Thibault, Caterina, Hellan and so many more that brought such a good energy so we all give everything we’ve got to land the astral plane. Thanks to all the amazing humans who danced with us! 

Also thankful for Driss, Uma and all the Envision crew for the invitations. Kudos to the sound team who worked tirelessly to make some miracles happen in the wild jungle. 

May we keep dancing to connect a little bit more with who we are: nature. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this set!

Hola!

 Here is the recording of my very first sunrise set at Burning Man 2018 in the Black Rock Desert. I started playing around 5:45 am, the lights and lasers were still glowing in the cold darkness of the night..as the songs were passing by, the sky turned blue and the horizon warmer. Burners were all facing the deep playa, waiting for the sun to appear. It was an honour to soundtrack this moment and share music in such a magical place. No matter how hard I try, words can barely describe the energy and emotions felt in that instant... I hope music can express it better. 

I'd like to thank Maxa Camp & The Gardens of Babylon for inviting me to play on this beautiful Xaman Art Car...the mystical blue deer.   I’m very grateful to have shared this moment with so many incredible souls, old and new friends. 

Merci à mon ami Vince Dub d'avoir photographié ce moment!

Happy New Year everyone! 

2019 is necessarily going to result in some new beginnings in my life and hopefully some positive changes and evolutions for us all.

In line with my own growth, I wanted to get back to my roots of digging really deep to put together a mix that I think is dreamy, ethereal, with haunting vocals and subtle but groovy basslines.

Also, after 3 weeks of watching updates from our dear friends traveling from Vietnam to Mexico I couldn’t keep it together without sharing something with everyone!

Whether you’re in Tulum, New York City, at work or at an afterparty I hope this little slice of what I’m digging right now does you right!

Gorje Hewek & Izhevski - All Day I Dream 2019

Together we are Gimérique

Infos/Booking: info@schirmchendrink.com

Belgium’s Bigasti and Switzerland’s Floloco work in tandem to bring dreamy electronic music into the air with a narrative mix of both, deep and thriving elements. After years of experience in electronic music as individual artists, Gimérique unites the signature sound of two artists to a new chapter on their promising path in the electronic music scene.
It all started with a joint DJ set released on Schirmchendrink, which the two founded together. After several joint DJ sessions they felt it was about time to take the project to the next level.

With their first collaborative production in 2020, Gimérique took Lerr's 'Hummingbird' into deep and dreamy territory. Groovy and emotive in equal measure it made an auspicious production debut for Gimerique on Sound Avenue's first edition of their 'Re:Imagined‘ remix series. Gimérique's first original production 'Calm at Heart' was released in Spring 2020 on Harabe Recordings and explores a more ambient landscape of their sound. 'Calm at Heart" entered the Beatport 'Organic House' Top 100 charts within only few days.

Floloco and Bigasti individually are passionate about electronic music ever since they can remember.
