3 QUESTIONS to Kevin Over:

Q: How did you choose the music for these 60 minutes?

A: I liked the idea of getting away from the typical podcasts featuring peak-time club tracks and straight grooves.
So I decided to put some tunes together which are easy to listen on a walk through the city or while travelling with the train. All the music is influencing my life in a strong way since I started doing music. This mixtape has a range from 4/4 - grooves to Funk, Soul, Rap and Jazz. All I love.

Q: It´s not normal to listen to a podcast in 2015 and there are real vinyl sounds inside. Are my ears right?

A: No, thats just a Crackle-App I put on the mix to simulate that oldschool feeling. But maybe there are some 12 inches in it aswell.

Q: Your current EP "Touch" on Noir Music is a big success, especially the track "Jus A" is pushed and supported by lots of international DJs. What´s coming up next?

A: I finished a lot of tracks in the first weeks of 2015.
At the moment I am just planing different EPs on some great labels. Watch out!

3 QUESTIONS to AAARON:

Q: Hey Aaaron. Whats the reason why there are 3x "A" inside your name?

A: "AAA" has it´s origin from the american school grades and means it´s much better than only "A". Well, I´m just kidding... you know, normally you write Aaron with only 2x A but if you search this name on Google, Facebook, RA or SoundCloud you will probably never find me. So I took one more "A" to make a difference. And another smart advantage is that of course you´re on top of all the alphabetical line-ups.

Q: The way how you met the bass was leading you to really wonderful music, especially while listening to your releases and this great podcast. From which style did you come from, I mean: what was your inspiration in the past?

A: In the early years I started with american Hiphop from the 90s. Boombap. In this time I also started to DJ. In 2001 I was inspired by the Berlin minimal sound and everything around which was played in the clubs in this time. For example the old Speicher records, Len Faki, Audion, Marc Houle, Bodzin and of course Villalobos. Today I still love these records and whenever the time is right I try to mix them inside my sets.

Q: I´ve been playing your track "What I got" (label: O´RS) for a very long time. For me it was one of the best tracks in 2014. Whats comming up this year?

A: I´m happy to hear that! For the first 6 months all my releases are scheduled yet. Compared to the last years I now will do more remixes. A few tracks are in my typical old style and a few ones will be more fresh. Currently there is a vinyl in press with a remix for a good friend from Freiburg (MYNY) who just started his vinyl only label "Solide". According to this there will be another vinyl only split release on "Fat Plastic" with 2 original tracks from me and probably there will be a release on "Muna Music" with the help of Mathias Kaden who also was a big fan of my "Supersingle". And finally there will be a remix for my friend Re.You for his Mobilee remix compilation.

3 QUESTIONS to HOLLIS P MONROE:

Q) Tell us about your mix. How did you select the tracks for this podcasts and what do they mean for you? 

A) Basically, I chose songs that have personal significance to me. Most of the artists are people that I know personally and have influenced me in some way. In the cases where i've included a song that is directly related to me, it represents a milestone in my life and/or career. 

Q) You are living in Montreal / Canada. What exactly is the difference to Europe concerning our electronic music scene and the nightlife? 

A) From what I've experienced so far in the cities I've visited in Europe, there seems to be much more awareness, understanding and respect for electronic music in general from the average person. It makes for an interesting blur of the line between what is considered mainstream and what is considered underground… 

Q) You are on tour in Europe since January and based in Berlin. Which cool places did you see and when are you coming for the next time? 

A) For me, it's more about the people I've met and interacted with. It has been a very inspiring and motivating experience in that regard. Most likely, I'll be back in the spring/summer of 2015 with my musical partner Overnite. Right now, we are putting the finishing touches on our album for Sonar Kollektiv as The Black 80s and sorting out how we will present it in a live performance format. Then we'll be taking our show on the road…

3 QUESTIONS to DOUGLAS GREED:

Q: The insiders know that Douglas is not your real name. So what´s the secret behind your artist name - if there is a secret? 

A: I used the be a little bit of a DOUGLAS COUPLAND fan boy. So I thought it would be a nice idea to call myself Douglas. 3 years ago I met him in hamburg, it was actually my birthday. I told him that he inspired me a lot and that I call myself Douglas because of him - I think he was a bit scared of me that moment. 


Q: During the years lots of people were talking about "move to Berlin, it´s the center of electronic music". Why did you not leave your hometown to follow the mass?


A: The place I live in Jena is a nice and easy going small-town in east germany. It´s all green over there - so why should I move to berlin?


Q: You had past releases on huge labels such as Freude Am Tanzen or BPitch Control. What can we expect this year?

A: I got a new project called EATING SNOW with my buddy MOORYC. We will release our debut album in september on Freude Am Tanzen.

3 QUESTIONS to KRINK:

Q: You´ve been playing in lots of countrys yet. What was the most special moment/place for you?

A: Coming to a new place is always special to me. Though it gets more exciting the further you are from home. It still amazes me that people care for something you initially did alone, more or less for yourself and that you can come to a different city, country or even continent and there are people who know what you do and appreciate it, thats great!

Q: Describe your live-setup: How do you play your sets?

A: My live-set up is changing constantly, I usually have my Laptop with stems and loops from my productions, a drum machine and a delay with me. Sometimes I might take a synth or a keyboard with me.

Q: What´s coming next musicially?

A: There are a couple of remixes coming out in the next few weeks and I am currently working on new original material, since I have been quite busy with remixing lately, it´s good to concentrate on that a bit more now.

Fated Presents: Exclūsum 001

Recorded live at Fusion Festival Germany on 3rd of July 2016

Live at Fusion Festival Germany 2016

OUT NOW / Get it here: sensosounds.lnk.to/Humano

Senso Sounds drop a major release from techno heavyweight Dubfire and label boss Oliver Huntemann. Reuniting the partnership that has seen a string of seminal releases over the years in the form of their 'Elements' series, 'Humano' is the 2nd part of a continuation of this series - more weapons of grade dance-floor material from the high profile duo. Later on this year their partnership will be summarized in their 'Restrospec- tivo' album.
Former Deep Dish man Dubfire’s uncanny knowledge of how to create epic dance- floor moments is in full effect, combined with Huntemann’s precision tool production techniques on the original version of the title track. The result is a super tough, tight and incalculably driving slice of techno goodness that will ignite floors worldwide. The rest of the EP manages to maintain the pressure - with a set of sick remixes from Victor Ruiz, Hatzler and Shaded.
Ruiz, the Brazilian techno pioneer adds another level of fire to the original, tweaking and refining the track into a damager that pushes everything to 11 and hits home with every play. Hatzler, the Hamburg based German DJ/producer chooses a different direction - emphasizing more of the space in the original. Rinsing the tension to the next level, look out for the epic middle section break down. The whole package is primed to destroy clubs far and wide - techno at its most effective. Shaded’s Summer Skin remix also delivers a tightly wound interpretation, with a bubbling bass line and nervous, excited groove providing the fuel for an extended dancefloor excursion.

Tracklist:
A1. Humano
A2. Humano (Victor Ruiz Remix)
B1. Humano (Hatzler Remix)
B2. Humano (Shaded’s Summer Skin Remix)

3 QUESTIONS to TOWNSHIP REBELLION:

Q: Four man behind looks like a "boy band". How have you guys met each other and what's the story behind your artist name?

A: We are all friends from the same town in South Germany. We don't have a big local scene like Berlin or Cologne so it was obvious to us that we had to work hard to be recognized. The name came from a homage to a "Rage Against The Machine" track with the same title. 

Q: Guess it's not that easy to match all tastes when producing or playing your music. How do you arrange with this in the studio or on the stage?

A: We all have different backgrounds and talents. It takes time to bring all of those together, but at the end of the day everyone in the team benefits from our diverse pool of skillsets. What most people don't see that we don't just produce, we handle the whole thing ourselves, from management to booking, video productions, marketing etc.. Basically all the areas artists need to handle these days. On the stage we currently play as a team of two representing Township at gigs. 

Q: Which future projects are on the way?

A: We are starting our first bigger international tours towards the end of the year. There will also be a few more releases this year to look forward to.

3 QUESTIONS to umami:

Q: As a duo – was it hard to select music for a classics podcast as you both probably had different influences?

A: (Robert) Well first of all, we both have pretty different background musically. And our taste in music when we started doing house music was also quite different from each other so the tracks we picked from that period in our lives aren't really all in one genre. But in the end, it's more interesting to create a podcast with more diverse music!

Q: As you are currently working on a new live-act - what will be the difference to the past one?

A: (Robert) For one thing we have switched roles. Sam used to "pilot" the tracks while I was playing drum pads and sounds to it. Now it's the other way around and I'm navigating the beats and main tracks and Sam can concentrate on playing the guitar, tweaking synths and singing. And bringing a guitar is definitely something new we want to try out!

Q: I´ve heard there is a new album in progress. Please tell us more about this and also which further Umami projects are on the way!

A: (Robert) Yes there is definitely an album coming! We just don't know when! Almost all of the core ideas are finished, but we are still not sure how to "dress" them. We have one song we wrote with a friend of ours, and right now it's very heavy on the synth side. But we could also imagine it being more organic and dreamy. Those are difficult decisions. But we will figure it out eventually.

3 QUESTIONS to INNELLEA:
 
Q: Guess it was not easy to mix your both musicial influences in one hour, right? Tell us about your mix. 
 
A: Well in fact it was pretty nice! We made two Spotify playlists and picked out our all time favs. Dani more housy Michi more electro influenced.
 
Q: How did you guys meet once? 
 
A: We both take part in a collective called „Ohne Worte“ where we host party’s with focus on designed stages and good music. That’s how we got to know each other about 6 years ago in Michi‘s cellarroom at a meeting kind of thing.
 
Q: Which future projects are on the way?
 
A: There are a lot. We have pretty straight goals we want to reach one day and we have to work hart for it. So we are producing a lot, try to learn a lot about sounddesign etc. and of course trying to connect with the scene. Socializing is (how said it might be...) one of the most important things these days.

3 QUESTIONS to MOLLONO.BASS:

Q: Besides producing and touring you´re running Acker Records, 3000 Grad. A fulltime job?

A: A fulltime job indeed! Since 2006 I'm living my life with my music only. A dream came true. But as you mentioned it's not only my own music, but many different projects: Two labels, a booking agency, a festival and various other events throughout the year. More than I could handle myself. So I'm very happy that 3000Grad is a team of around 7 people. They make sure everything goes down smoothly. And that there's always some quality jokes flying around in our office!

Q: Also you´re part of a lot of events and festivals in northern Germany. 3000 Grad, Fusion, just to name a few. Please tell us more about your doings.

A: Fusion Festival is like a parallel universe, and 3000Grad is really just one star in this “Kulturkosmos”, which means culture cosmos in German. Even after many many years of active involvement it's still very inspiring to work with so many creative minds and interesting people in this project, to make magic happen year after year again.

Then there's our 3000Grad Festival, which is obviously our baby. Lots of love and dedication goes into this project. Our vision is to make the utopia of a better world come true, even if it's just for a weekend. Ideally the visitors take this experience with them and keep it alive as an inspiration for their everyday lives. In the end, a better world depends on us and our attitude.

And then: winter’s coming, which is really not so nice here in Germany. So we try to make it a little nicer with our indoor events. The general idea of these parties is to bring a hint of summer festival vibes into the club context. That's why our “Wanderzirkus”, the travelling circus, is subtitled as “The Surreal Club Festival”. It's really like an indoor adult playground where we can live our passion for electronic dance music, but also for the beautifully bizarre, for theater and performance art.

Q: Which further projects are on the way?

A: At the moment I’m full enthusiasm for my music projects and my collaborations with other producers. If it was possible, I would move into my studio for some months. What's the result of all this? On 1st December we'll release the 3rd part of the Mollono.Bass & Friends series on 3000Grad Records, this time I worked with my long-year Kombinat100 companion Marc Vogler and with Timboletti. In 2018 we'll continue with a new Mollono.Bass Remix Collection, I can't believe it's number 4 in this series already.

3 QUESTIONS to FELIX KROECHER:

Q: Talking about your mix. How did these early tracks have an impact on your later doings?

A: Basically I always mix it up in my sets. I don’t like to slowly build it up honestly. Sometimes I like to start harder, sometimes a bit softer, it always depends on my personal mood basically :) 

Q: You´re an early pioneer of Germanys Techno music. But how did Techno change your life?

A: Techno had an impact in my life, since I was 17 years old. Since then Techno always was a main part of my life! 

Q: Which Felix Kroecher projects are coming soon?

A:  lot of new music is coming up! Currently I am working on projects with Citizen Kain, Reinier Zonneveld & Lopezhouse. Can’t wait to share all those new tracks.

After the positive reactions on "Diablo", Oliver and I naturally decided to dive into a follow-up (with a rather appropriate title)! Not sure why we chose Spanish names but we seemed to be onto a good thing so we decided to keep nurturing those creative instincts. We had quite a few ideas going back and forth with this one, hence the two-part approach to the final version. Conceptually and with the working title, we wanted to take a lighter approach to this one, creating something less sinister than "Diablo" and I think that we succeeded nicely, helping to eventually take things into our "Elements" series. I should also mention how excited we were to have a brilliant Gaiser mix for this! - Dubfire

Der Dritte Raum live @ Nation Of Gondwana Open Air, July, 21st 2012

HOW I MET THE BASS is a concept series, founded and hosted by @marc-depulse. 

It's not about mixing the current charts - it's about your roots. A storyteller. Music from your childhood and youth that once had a big impact on your later doings, showing musicially how you got in touch with Electronic Music back in the days.

Marc tells about his project:

"Techno is a huge family. These are my experiences when I'm coming to different cities and places every weekend. Doesn't matter who you are and where you're coming from. It's about making friends and having a good time together. I have met so many interesting artists during the last 2 decades and all of them love to tell their own exciting story. So I'm inviting my favorite artists from time to time to mix their musicial roots within a podcast."
