Hey Tony, wieder mal top! Wie heißt der Titel?

oh haha der track 💥 hab mich früher immer gegenüber meinen Brüdern geschämt, dass ich den mag ❤️😅

2024++

Throughout my career, I’ve created (or co-created) some iconic mixtapes.  Viva La Hova.  Dillagence.  Ready To Boom.  That mixtape with Adele.  And of course, the Summertime series with Jazzy Jeff.

But this one here (probably my last ever mixtape, to be honest) is special.

The music.  The concept.  And even the origin story.

Recently, I was blasting Jay-Z’s The Blueprint in honor of its 20th anniversary.

My fiancé Carolyn was upstairs playing lots of Beyoncé to balance out the incessant amount of Hov playing in my office.

At one point, both playlists synced on beat and my mind was blown.

My first thought: THIS SHOULD BE AN ALBUM

I called up my creative partner Chi Duly (the most talented musician I know) and we fleshed out the idea for this project.

I dug up all the classic Blueprint samples (and some other classic Jay sources, as well).  

Chi acquired a bunch of Beyoncé acapellas.   And then we got to work.

23 songs.  All songs produced exclusively for this tape.  These are not deejay blends.  This is original production using the original samples with lots of other fun things added in.

(And, of course, some rare and timely Jay-Z verses sprinkled in for good measure).

I’m not sure if we will ever get The Carters, Part 2.

But until that day… we have something just as good. :)

This is the most creative thing I have ever been a part of.

This is Beyoncé meets The Blueprint.

This is THE B-PRINT.

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Keine Hektik, keine Sorge. Sachter Start von ganz unten. Küsschen links, rechts. Kaffee für den Körper und Sorbet für die Seele. Zur Halbzeit dann bereit für den amtlichen Wochenanlauf. So könnt das immer sein. Danke, @bisu-andyou

Villa Weidig

Wow, what an unforgettable night at the @zero_community Masquerade this past weekend. After a decade of being part of the ZERO crew, I'm in blown away by how this event keeps evolving and getting better every year. Endless gratitude to our talented team and the best crowd in the world. 

Here's the recording from my 6am Sunday morning set in the courtyard.

Lovecraft @ ZERO Masquerade 2024

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

Cuddle Cast #20 comes from Vienna based @nugimusic.

Its the perfect chillout set for times in bed. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

We have been celebrating his sets for many years and are excited to welcome him now also to the hug records family now. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

Cuddle Cast #21 - Aka-Tony

Get it on, get it on in the summer sun
When the love is around everybody's feeling
Get it on, get it on in the summer sun
When the love is around it's a wonderful feeling

Those chorus lines from one of the tracks in Schleichcast°51 speak for themselves, providing quite a fitting summary of the vibe this mixtape conveys. This set feels like sand between toes while licking ice-cream, like some nourishing sunscreen gently applied to soft and tanned skin, like those lighthearted days that never seem to end and when they finally do, you almost missed the darkness of the night because the sun rises so early. In other words: the perfect soundtrack for summer and a wonderful potpourri of multicolored electronica and acoustic music, around-the-world-rhythms paired with souly-jazzy tunes…and not to forget, some slow n’ smooth downtempo. Thank you so much dear @maltesar for creating this musical treat!

>>Wer bist du und woher kommst du?
Ich bin Malte, Teil des 'Kollektiv Nachtkerze', komme aus Berlin und bin zwischen Wald, Havel und Tegeler See im Berliner Norden aufgewachsen. 

>>Wie kamst du zum Auflegen?
Die natürliche Evolution des Aufwachsens in Berlin? Oft in Clubs und viele Freundschaften, die einen an die Teller stellen - wodurch ich glücklicherweise vor 9 Jahren zum Downtempo gefunden habe.

>>Was hat dich für das Set inspiriert?
Skinshape, dessen neueste Platte ich mit Spannung erwarte, die Band Jembaa Groove, die ich endlich mal live sehen muss und meine Liebe zu den Wurzeln des ganz ganz langsamen Downtempos mit vielen organischen Elementen. In diesem Set habe ich mich mal daran probiert all diese Inspirationen zusammenfließen zu lassen.

>>Shout outs! Wer ist aktuell dein:e lieblings Künstler:in?
Ich bin auf der Fusion an der Freikörperküste zu den Klängen von den Jungs von Ali Dada aufgeweckt worden. Bin früher immer mal wieder über Edits von deren Tracks gestolpert, aber habe jetzt deren Live-Sounds lieben gelernt - Shout Out geht raus. Ein gute Portion Akustik-Love geht raus an die Tracks von @itsChristianHansen.

>>Was gefällt dir besonders an "langsamer" Musik?
Sie gibt mir den Raum mich in der Musik zu verlieren, abzuschalten und mich treiben zu lassen - ohne zu überfordern. Alle Elemente eines Tracks bekommen den Platz den sie verdienen und es findet sich meist ein ganz bestimmter Schlag Mensch auf den Tanzflächen der langsamen Musik zusammen - das verbindet und geht unter die Haut.

“Northern” is a musical journey into the cold, mysterious expanses of the North. The sounds intertwine the depth of silence of forests, mystical whisper of wind and pulsating warmth of inner fire. The track creates the atmosphere of an ancient shamanic ritual, where the past and the future meet in a single moment.

«Northern» — это музыкальное путешествие в холодные, загадочные просторы Севера. Звуки переплетаются с глубиной лесной тишины, мистическим шепотом ветра и пульсирующим теплом внутреннего огня. Трек создает атмосферу древнего шаманского ритуала, где прошлое и будущее встречаются в одном мгновении.

The first time we heard @to-be-honest-o was at the Hoppla Festival of our long time family member @marcelpuntheller. Shortly after Tobi moved to Berlin, joined our weekly meetings and became a part of the inner LF Berlin family. Next to that he is also a very talented sound selector and we invited him to play in our Lieblingsbucht and at Mensch Meier for us. Seeing how much joy we had in those moments we decided to go one step further in our relationship and proposed to him to become one of our Berlin residents. You can meet and hear Tobi for the next time at this years Hoppla Festival https://www.facebook.com/events/370961756771076/ and as a little teaser we are happy to share his recording from Bucht with you!
