“The 2021 NWB stream was much different than the year before. For me, it felt like we were getting closer to reopening, all of us so ready for the party, and being honored with the opportunity to compose a 5-hour narrative meant I needed to reflect that energy and represent the dance floor we all love so much. I wanted to keep it heady like 2020 but focus more on what it would feel like to play that long at Tangent, returning to my roots and playing numerous eternal cuts from Chicago, Detroit, Berlin, Cologne, Rotterdam, Helsinki, and beyond. Praise the acid...enjoy!”

GALA: Richard Akingbehin

We are extremely happy to feature a dear friend from our home city of Munich, @samgoku, in this 20th episode of the Herbarium mix series. He is such a colourful artist as his specialty is to combine multiple genre styles and create an organic conceptual journey with these gems. This also applies to this beautiful mix which he put together for us. He deep dives into precious harmonious textural ambient, tribal rhythms and catchy melodic instrumental references.

About Sam Goku's choice of plant: 
The 'Epiphyllum oxypetalum', or 'queen of the night', blooms only once a year. Its flower opens at night and closes again before sunrise. There is also one growing on the staircase at my parents' home – it’s a mix that feels special and close to home at the same time.

About Sam Goku

It is a satisfying experience when an artist manages to create a modern sound by implementing what makes dance music so dearly appreciated amongst enthusiasts: Blended noises, repetition and some cheeky, unexpected madness.

Sam Goku does that in his productions - with a sleek straightforwardness that one would not expect from a rather hypnotic beat.

While appearances in some of Europes most established clubs and his eclectic set at the final rendition of Secret Garden Party put him on the map, he has never stopped to refine his skills as a mixer and selector.

He skilfully plays his way through myriads of subgenres and microcosm in the realm of (leftfield) house, techno and bass music, developing sets that are equally characterized by buoyant ease and yet great depth in the rhythmic, melodic and sonic details.

Herbarium No 20 - Sam Goku - Epiphyllum Oxypetalum

Time to share the 21st Herbarium episode with you, this time we warmly welcome our talented friend and artist @caldera-caldera from Brighton. He curated a fantastic journey between deep and subtle textures combined with delicate harmonic glimpses into other worlds.

Caldera chose the European Ash for his mix, here is why:
I chose Fraxinus excelsior since I always admired how the light shines through the leaves of those trees and it has always made me in awe of them. I've been fortunate enough to have been living opposite a little forest that consists of many Ash Trees, so it's been my studio view since moving here 9 years ago and a steady source of subtle inspiration. (The first track includes a field recording of this forest)
For this mix I tried to capture the sound and movement of this plant in the wind which is why I choose tracks that include long pads and reverberend sounds as well as music that has some kind of sprinkly patterns representing the more in depth movements and interplay of the many small leaves.

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.
