This is my set from the Beats 4 Love Festival which took place at Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2023.

Since I returned to the fray in 2023, I've been using Ableton and a number of controllers to create my sets and am loving the flexibility it gives me to do deeper dives into edits, overdubs, mashups and mixes. It wasn't uncommon during this set to have four or five audio channels running simultaneously. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - Beats For Love Festival 2023

Sonar Kollektiv are very proud to present a sweet slice of obscure Philly soul with deep connections to our very own Berlin family. Shirley Turner’s 1965 recording of I Wish You A World Of Happiness has long been a crate digger’s delight and now receives a very special reissue, alongside a rather stunning cover version from Hamburg based quartet, The KBCS, featuring the vocal talents of Nora Becker. 

Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and Virtue Records (headed up by musician and music producer Frank Virtue) had become prolific in releasing soulful underground hits like The Horse by Cliff Nobles & Co. and Boogaloo Down Broadway by Fantastic Johnny C. as well as producing a number of somewhat less popular, more low-fi soul and garage records that were slept on at the time but have remained highly sought after records to this day. 

One of those records was I Wish You A World Of Happiness, which started life as a popular 60s instrumental cut Bird Walkin’ by Emanon’s Orchestra. The song was written by Weldon A. McDougal III and Johnny Stiles, with lyrics by Eddie Holman, of Hey There Lonely Girl fame. Virtue had been looking for someone to record a vocal version of the tune for some time, and having had a rough demo recorded by an uncredited singer, somehow said demo found itself in the hands of seventeen year old gospel vocalist Shirley Turner. The young, aspiring soul singer learned the lyrics from the dubplate by heart, and on the night she turned eighteen, went into Virtue Studios to record her version of the song. Several takes were laid down and three dub plates produced all on the same night, one of which was taken home by the eighteen year old hopeful, where it remained for years to come. 
The recording was largely forgotten about as Shirley grew up and had a family, that is until her son started playing with the dubplate as a child. Shirley's son is Sonar Kollektiv’s very own Hollis P. Monroe - now a producer, composer and DJ as well as being responsible for the late 90s hit, I’m Lonely. Hollis took an interest in the record from an early age with the dubplate being one of the first records he learned to scratch with! 

Some years later, and with the help of the internet, Hollis’ continued interest in his mother’s recording led him to a number of specialist soul blogs and in particular to UK based DJ Andy Rix who posted about a dubplate he had found which sounded very familiar! The 45 was widely credited as featuring vocalist Ann Robinson, but Hollis was soon able to set the record straight which enabled him to tell the true story behind this fascinating recording. 

Some fifteen years later, and taken directly from Shirley’s personal dubplate, Sonar Kollektiv were finally able to restore and remaster this rare take from that session. Not only that, we commissioned Hamburg four-piece The KBCS to deliver their own interpretation of this timeless piece of music. The result is a sophisticated, balladic reworking that respects the original but gives it a very different twist that should please lovers of modern and two-step soul alike.

@slideultraunity
Слайдультраюнити как и всегда пробует совместить несколько концептов в одном миксе. Начинка – российский даб, минимал, хаус, easy listening из нулевых, любимый Ижевский стиль. Окантовка – несколько грустных песен и экспериментальных звуковых фрагментов. Переключение между этими двумя темами исключает усталость слуха. Возможно присутствует излишняя лоскутность материала, но она скомпенсирована  общим настроением и родственными тональностями, приемами и фразами в треках.

"After many years of being a fan and eventually becoming close friends with the band, it was a true honor for me to work on this remix. I loved the melody and percussive world that was happening and I thought that stripping it down to create an icy landscape would be an interesting direction." -Chris Bear

"Chris Bear has the special touch with all that he does. His sensitivity and musicality is what we were looking and hoping for on this remix. And he has a very big heart! -Simone Pace

Freiheit in Klang / Freedom in Sound (German & English)

Youtube Music Visualiser

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-hYbW4s-aY

Deep Bass House with groovy kicks, deep basslines, lush chords, and soulful vocals.

Emphasizes the liberating power of music, embodies the progressive and inclusive spirit of Berghain, Berlin, where the rhythm becomes a conduit for personal freedom and self-expression.

[Verse 1 (English)]
Neon flickers on concrete walls, 
Boots shuffle in the midnight crawl.
Eyes meet under the city's gaze, 
Hearts pounding in rhythmic phase.

[Pre-Chorus (German)] Ein Blick, ein Nicken,
die Tür öffnet sich,
Die Nacht beginnt, wir verlieren uns im Licht.
(A glance, a nod, the door opens, 
The night begins, 
we lose ourselves in the light.)

[Chorus (English & German)]
In Berghain's embrace, we find our truth,
Dancing shadows, shedding youth.
Freiheit lebt in jedem Klang,
In this rhythm, we belong.

Freiheit in Klang  Freedom in Sound

"A Farewell" is the first single from Freedom Fry's upcoming album, "Best Friend." Single out May 28, 2025. Album coming June 25.

Freedom Fry - A Farewell

Исповедь в песне, где каждая строчка будто шаг к внутренней свободе, а каждый звук - отражение непрожитых эмоций. Музыка о борьбе и её прекращении, о праве грустить, о стеклянных стенах, через которые прорывается свет. «Не бывает» - отражение хрупкой силы, которая рождается в уязвимости.

Не Бывает
