Aimed at providing a different insight into dance music the label Special place provides both acoustic and electronic sounds that are not sonically linked to a specific era, but all carry a shamanic or esoteric hinge. This EP is just that with the three amazing artists Mushrooms Project, Longhair and Eric Duncan all bringing their own take to this leftfield slomo disco to house vibe. It’s an honor to have them on board!

You gotta love Eric Duncan. Such a laidback, fun and easy going chap! After having turned NY upside down he currently resides in Bali when he's not touring amidst the pandemic. He actually remixed this track whilst in Brazil (how does he do that?). He probably has the vastest collection of selfies with DJ Harvey if this means anything. Berlin based Longhair has a string of releases on labels such as Bordello A Parrigi, Permanent Vacation or Love On the Rocks. He actually does sport long hair and probably has a third ear for turning music into untameable beat dance fury. And what about our hosts Mushrooms Project? Well they paved a solid catalogue with their characteristic shamanic house music releases, go check out for yourself!

PREMIERE : Mushrooms Project - Caldosavana (Longhair Remix)

Berlin-based DJ duo https://soundcloud.com/sonic-paradise , whose thoughtfully curated blog is packed with vintage hidden gems and collaborations alongside avant-garde selectors, now strike with their debut EP release. Close your eyes and transport yourself to a Balearic beach as the dreamy pianos, colourful house beats and ecstatic melodies elevate your vibe. The downtempo smoothness of Slow Dance is perfectly balanced by Pina’s stomping nostalgic house beats, while Longhair – who has been on fire lately with releases on Permanent Vacation, Love On The Rocks and Bordello A Parigi – lends his talents on a remix of Slow Dance. An uplifting EP destined for the good times we are all craving this summer.

Longhair - Planets & Orbits

Yet Another Kito Jempere Album was finished two months before the pandemic hit, and released right at the peak of it in November 2020. Due to COVID19 restrictions was never played live, although a big AV show was planned and put into production. This album is a long journey of meeting friends along the way of Kito Jempere and making them stand together for one simple idea: get together for music. Album was never aimed at any charts or hype, it was just a bunch of demos, which later transformed into fully fledged compositions and then laid out into a long-play sequence.

Yet Another Kito Jempere Album is both a spontaneous and easy-going free-time friendly project and a real Kito Jempere’s own universe combining artists as Jimi Tenor, Mujuice, Lipelis, Rich Thair of Red Snapper, Cedric Gasaida, Hard Ton, Ruf Dug and many others. The variety of the album got wider with lots of amazing remixes from Kito’s friends: Max Essa, Andras, Fango, Eden Burns and many more. But every journey comes to and end. In 2022 Kito wanted to finish the story with huge DELUXE collection of 36 tracks including album originals, released remixes and previously unreleased remixes and versions by Samo DJ, Hard Ton, Longhair, Linja and Fanick. Original cover image by Dmitry Shiryaev also was transformed into painting by Netflix/Apple illustrator Joe Taylor.

Yet once again the world had gone crazy, Kito couldn’t believe his eyes in the end of February. It was a tough decision not to stop, not to give up. Music is the only answer. Art is the only future. We need to find peace within ourselves, spread it around us, and start all over again. The final chapter of Yet Another Kito Jempere Album’s story is here. We all need to redefine ourselves. The darkest hour always comes before the dawn. Only we can make the future happen.

The album is out on 1st April Bandcamp friday as Name Your Price item.

Yet Another Kito Jempere Album [DELUXE]

PREMIERE : Kito Jempere - 思考気雲  (Longhair Remix)

Rising from the berliner underground, Longhair have earned with the years a notorious reputation on the scene supported by some of our favourite imprints. Amsterdam's Italo-tastemakers "Bordello a Parigi", "Permanent Vacation" and Paramida's "Love on the Rocks" have found a place for the trance-spacey sound of the berliner based duo.

"Axis Mundi" is a space oddity that rises from our living room all the way to the solar system, Earth, Saturn and Pluto until the end of the Galaxy, no borders, the limit is set by yourself. Hammering and corrosive basslines, full of small little details and shining hidden stars in form of brilliant melodies that will make an exciting journey thru the Milky way.

Longhair show here their great versatility blending different subgenres that vary from Indie dance, leftfield house, Nu-Disco and everything in between and adding their particular cosmic touch and some trancy elements. A record that will work great either at the club wearing our favourite dancing shoes or chilling at home at our sofa.

Get ready for a cosmic trip, to the infinity and beyond..

Night Rider

PREMIERE : Longhair - Night Rider (MM Discos)

As winter is tightening its grip on Berlin, our mind wanders off to sunnier moments - dancing on the Adriatic cost line with some cold drinks in hands. To take you with us on that journey, we invited our good buddies from Longhair to host this month's episode of our podcast series with a very special live recording from Love International Festival 2023 Tisno, Croatia.

Longhair focuses on the perfect mix of various influences, the dark and light, the devilishly pumping and the harmoniously uplifting and commands a vast experience and ability to conjure truly magical makings.  

The workings of Longhair call upon powers of playfulness and the open mind. At it’s core lies the raw, untamable energy of the 90’s; lapped up first hand. These sentiments are then tempered with a myriad of musical knowledge and appreciation, that finds Longhair eloquently piecing together vibrations from disco and balearic, to trance and electro; but it doesn’t stop there. 

Wholly unpredictable with the spells chosen to cast, Longhair manages to strike a neat chord between alluring ecstasy and deeply emotive, somehow, introspective undertones. You may find nimble stabs, hip-thrusting snares and rousing synth grooves, waltzing with whimsical flutes, angelic arps, radiant arpeggios and other, indescript counterparts. Yet one thing is for certain, the undeniable sorcery makes it’s ever-growing discography a sure shot for many momentous dancefloor tonics.

We say thank you to our friends Bene and Marko for this wonderful contribution to our podcast series and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Loser Podcast 055 - Longhair

For this week’s Select, we have Berlin-based underground DJ/producer duo Marko & Bene, aka Longhair. Arguably one of the leading figures in the electronic dance scene, they’re known for their devilishly pumping and harmoniously uplifting sets that dabble in versatile shades of hazy house, with influences that range from disco and balearic to trance and electro. Earlier this year, the duo released ‘Surf & Turf’ EP on the famed London-based label OPIA Records, a deep and progressive house fusion of futuristic funk and dreamy rave nostalgia across four cuts.

For their select set, Longhair came in with a pulse-pounding house set, featuring psychedelic layers, acid-licks and rousing synth-heavy grooves with hip-thrusting kicks, combined with a subtle pinch of trance-like repetitive rhythms. The set features tunes by famous international producers such as Eddie Richards, Nanami Togarashi and Hidden Spheres.
