2016 Feburary

Our 'Good Morning from ...' Guest Mix series will explore different artists from all around the world as they take us on a journey with their distinct and unique sounds that they'll showcase to represent their taste, surroundings and upbringing.

Today, we’re back in the UK for an early morning story from a duo whose storytelling capabilities have seen them travel far and wide, and today they’ve spoilt us with a gorgeous two and a half hour tale; sit down with us alongside @deathonthebalcony

Travel with us to Blackpool on the Flyde Coast, in Northern England, where neon-lit amusements, bustling funfairs and golden, sandy beaches are everywhere to see. 

As we walk, you can hear the constant beeps and chimes of the slot machines, where wins and losses are part of everyday life. If you try your luck on The Golden Mile, which side of the coin will you sit on? 

As you listen to their story, don’t forget to take in the sights, tuck into the fresh catch of the day, and buy a stick of rock for your family… Good Morning from The Golden Mile

Bespoke Musik Partner and Label Director, Christian Voldstad, is back with a beautiful new mix for our radio show.

Christian acquired his love of electronic music while growing up in the UK. It wasn’t until he moved to New York, however, that he would attend his first underground party and find the sound that would capture him and inspire him to step behind the decks himself. Since then, Christian has become a staple of the underground scene, a party enthusiast, and an avid techno tourist.

After some time as a free agent, Christian’s sophisticated taste in music earned him a residency for Bespoke Musik where he has entranced audiences with thoughtful, layered DJ sets. His music blends a focus on the low-end frequencies with a melodic, sometimes melancholic touch. The end result is just as suited to a nightclub dancefloor as a desert sunset, with enough versatility for everything in between.

Some of his notable bookings include Gazgolder and Leveldva in Moscow, Café D’ Anvers in Antwerp, Sisyphos in Berlin, Output and Cityfox in Brooklyn, Do Not Sit on the Furniture and The Electric Pickle in Miami, and Robot Heart and the 747 at Burning Man.

A night full of great vibes and wonderful people opening for Matthew Dekay was an amazing experience, we enjoyed it so much and hope everyone did too :)

@ Elements Lounge, Bahrain (13.11.15)

Zone+ & Usif Opening Set For Matthew Dekay

I still remember approaching the Robot Heart bus for the very first time during my first Burn. We departed from our camp all the way at 4 o'clock by bike, dodging sand dunes and cracks on the rugged Playa. From a distance we saw the illuminated heart, serving like a far far-away compass amidst the orgy of lazers and lights. And when we finally arrived, it was like being transported to another universe.  I was immediately engulfed by the experience.  So you can imagine my excitement and anticipation when I was invited to play the bus on Friday night of the Burn this year. The magic of the night is hard for me to put into words so I will let my music do the talking. Enjoy the journey and let it transport you back to those special moments on the playa.

Jon Charnis - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

An expert at creating harmonious illusions of sound, Germany’s Powel always finds a way to explore natural elegance and tasteful patience in music. Powel’s unique touch is in capturing those warm, celestial vibes filled with airy atmospheres and delicate rhythms and telling a melancholic story fused with ghostly, low slung deep cuts that are rich with nuance and subtlety. It’s rare to hear an artist so intimately blur the line between uplifting pieces of music and raw, emotive records that exude the soul of deep house in some of its purest forms.  A true artist in every sense of the word, SoundPark was excited to sit down with Powel to discuss the fluid state of what it means to be “successful” and how one ultimately finds harmony between their work and their passion in a way that satisfies the soul.

YokoO - Robot Heart - Further Future 002

Where to start . . . ?! This second Burning Man experience was indescribable. 
Filled with serendipitous moments, my week was as magical as it could have been.

Robot Heart was the last of the seven shows I played and certainly one I was looking forward to the most. Why? Because I was given the opportunity to play an extended set. Pretty damn special isn't it?!

It's 7.30AM, Saturday after man burn, I wake up all dusty in my yurt after playing through a mad storm at White Ocean from 3 to 5AM hoping for the weather to have settled a little. I walk outside and guess what . . . 
it is a complete white out!!! 

Putting all the good will I have out there, I decide to jump on my bicycle and ride out to the deep playa to find the bus. The wind is very strong and the visibility so low that I literally get thrown off it. I desperately start walking, like a blind man, following whatever sound I can hear. Slowly losing hope, I eventually run into a bunch of white walkers on the same mission. I realise time is running low as I have lost all sense of direction. My skepticism increases, yet my ears magically take me to the Heart just before the start of my agreed set time - 8.30AM. Monolink is performing live in front of a bunch of troopers. I get informed that performances have slightly been delayed due to weather conditions. The sky gets darker by the minute. The crew warns me that rain had been forecasted and that music would have to be turned off for safety reasons in case of another storm. I then realise that my set could just get canceled. Sad face. I pray the weather gods for mercy.
As I get on, the sky magically clears. No more wind, barely any clouds, no more dust. My nightmare turns into a dream and my journey on the decks begins.

I hope you’ll appreciate and enjoy the spontaneity of this set.

Love, and Love only.

Art Project:
Ursa Major
Reaching to grab what is within her grasp is Ursa Major, a 14 foot tall, grizzly bear sow. She may simply be reaching for berries but perceivably she is reaching higher: to the northern sky and the constellation that is her name, Ursa Major. In navigation, the constellation is useful in pointing the way to the North Star.  Ursa Major’s pose is inspiring, she brings the gaze and hopes of the participant skyward. She also demonstrates respect for the bears and nature, her pose is not like a taxidermy bear. She is in her natural state and unthreatening.  With a durable, unique material that was used on their previous Burning Man project (Penny the Goose), Ursa Major’s fur will be made of US and Canadian pennies. The pattern and feel will be like fur.

This is a part of my recording from that super weekend in Berlin at Kater Blau for Britta Arnold's Grrr mit Brrr sickk party...

Grrr Mit Brrr @ Kater Blau (29.09.2019 Berlin)

What should you do throughout your life? Many people think a tree, a house and a child will suffice, others compile never-ending bucket lists involving everything from high dives into water to eating scorpions and a bunch of other crazy stuff. A third group work their asses off to earn as much money as possible and end up dying without enjoying their money, some others make a conscious decision to not spend their money for their children to enjoy it later, while a different group of people choose not to have kids at all. And then there’s those who just want to travel all the time, discover new worlds, meet new people, try new foods, and never plan anything. Today, however, the latter are unable to do what they do best and are instead traveling inwards, exploring themselves and their surroundings, hoping that something good will come out of that too. So no matter how fatal we might perceive the title @timgreen has come up with for his set – "Last Train Home” – it can also be viewed as the beginning of something else.

Bross Opening For Nick Warren @ Anonymous Bucharest

Over two decades in dance music have made Hoj more than capable of living up to his reputation as a sonic storyteller. His cinematic sets explore the deep house landscape with a fervor that resonates through dance floors across the globe.

Close colleagues like Lee Burridge simply refer to his style as “Hoj house” rather than attempting to pin down its eclectic nuances. Although a longer road, staying the course of his artistic vision has paid off. In addition to a residency and landmark releases on Burridge’s All Day I Dream imprint, he now provides a platform for like-minded producers by way of their joint venture, Tale and Tone.

An extensive background in the visual arts set Hoj (pronounced with a long Ō) on a path less traveled by the average DJ/producer. Born in Iran and raised in the Bay Area of the U.S., he grew up exposed to film and music alike. Prior to DJing full time his background was in film, design and new media. He was the brainchild behind All Day I Dream’s brand identity, coming up with the single cloud design.

Hoj also discovered electronic music early in life. He attended his first rave in San Francisco in the early 90s, and he experienced the inauguration of legendary warehouse venue Homebase. After DJing for a few years, he made his San Francisco debut at Qoöl Happy Hour, an event series that took place at 111 Minna Gallery.

Soon afterwards he got involved with outfits like Opel Productions and Spundae, which afforded him audiences at the city’s more prominent nightclubs. He went on to help build the inaugural Opulent Temple sound camp for the 2003 edition of Burning Man. He has performed annually at the transformative gathering ever since.

Upon moving to New York City in 2008, however, Hoj outgrew the category of local DJ. Each passing year after that point brought bigger milestones and more momentum.

After his set on the Robot Heart art car during the 2010 edition of Burning Man, he was booked at the world-famous Berlin nightclub Berghain’s Panorama Bar. 2011 saw Lee Burridge launch All Day I Dream to serve the dual purpose of a record label and event brand, and he enlisted Hoj as a resident DJ of the latter. Since then Hoj has brought dance floors to life across the globe. Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City account for much of his fan base, but his following has also grown significantly in locations like Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Dubai, Romania and London.

2017 marked two especially groundbreaking turning points for Hoj: His long-awaited debut as a producer and the unveiling of he and Burridge’s new record label, Tale and Tone. The label features music the founding DJs play at night, unique tunes with both story and groove. Around the same time, his own Telefade EP, released on All Day I Dream. The three-track EP included  “Leap Day” as well as a remix of the title track by Bedouin. Hoj followed up Telefade with his own Tale and Tone release in 2018. Titled “Ramblefog,” it appeared on the imprint’s Prologue compilation,.

Two decades of experience behind the decks have equipped Hoj to captivate any crowd. The twists and turns of each sonic journey almost surprise him as much as those he entertains, resulting in moments that make up unforgettable memories. Given his track record, it’s surely no accident that his audience has only grown over the years.

As far as his own story is concerned, a promising future lies out on the horizon for Hoj. Deep house enthusiasts far and wide are excited to see how his tale will unfold.
