You know the saying. The cream rises to the top? There are some key members of the Dj and collector community that get recognized more and more as time goes on. Not only for their knowledge about electronic music and their taste in tunes but also their no-frills attitude and focus on DJing as a whole. Estimulo is one of those handful. A former member of the futura event agency and DJ crew from Berlin with a desire to also release music as a label owner with Mixomat Recordings. Heavily passionate about radio since a being young child has led to many variations of shows dedicated to the music he supports and follows. Most recently, a weekly Radio Show (EstimuloShow @ mixomat.org since 2007, also on Cashmere Radio since 2017) kept him busy. Having played many key clubs throughout Europe while sharing the nightly bills with a who's who's list of some of the best underground names in house and techno isn't a surprise. As a DJ, Estimulo is more in tune with the deeper and soulful side of things. He approaches mixing uniquely with no pre-planned mixes favoring an expression of honesty and desire to play what he wants versus a goal of perfect but often stale mixing. Lately, he has taken to many streaming platforms DJing live with other hardcore music aficionados in marathon long mixing sessions. To say Estimulo contributes to every facet of the electronic music community would be an understatement. Search out some recent interviews with him to get more in depth with his extensive background and future plans. With some 30 years' worth of experience, knee deep into the sound of the underground, you can expect his selections to impress even the die-hards. We are pleased to present a 2 part mix for the latest Chubby podcast with Estimulo on the wheels of steel.

"Forever"

I've been thinking about this artist mix for a while and settled down to it following the release of Dimensional Space.    This mix follows an interpretation of more 'beatless & ambient' soundscapes, "Ice Stars Sunlight" recorded about 5 years ago using CDj's.

► Release Info:

Vapour Recordings and all it's artists return freshly inspired from Balance Croatia and you can be guaranteed that studio's around the world will be pumping out freshly inspired tunes from what has gone down as the best event our scene has offered up in over a decade. Here at Vapour we're ready to attack the second half of the year starting with this stunning new EP from Gai Barone.

Unbelievably, this is Gai's first full solo EP (first of many) having featured on the label with remixes of Kasey Taylor & Chris Meehan's classic - Simplicity back in 2020 and Kasey Taylor's - Mysterious Madness in 2024. The wait is finally over for the release of this EP which has been hammered by everyone you would expect. Lumia & Mixolydyan are two trademark Barone tracks in the Barone nature that we like here at Vapour.

Remix duties on Lumia come from another debutant to the label this year from Argentina as we welcome Mike Griego to the label with a stunning remix of Lumia already being hammered by Alex O'Rion and many more.

Get ready for a powerhouse of an EP from these two magicians.

PREMIERE: Gai Barone - Lumia (Original Mix) [VAPOUR RECORDINGS]

German DJ Vladimir Ivkovic is resident at Dusseldorf’s Salon des Amateurs, and he has truly made the place his own over the last 12 years. Quite what to expect from him on any given night is anyone’s guess: he can do folk and experimental, sludgy techno or abrasive noise that is always original and arresting in equal measure. The Belgrade born artist also runs Offen Music and manages Loco Dice’s Desolat, and this year will close down our Selector’s stage, something we're truly looking forward to.

And it is that fact which informs the 80 minute podcast he has done for us here. Designed for soul soothing and post party contemplation, it is a meditative mix with basically no drums. Instead it is about suspensory ambient sounds, worldly lullabies and blissed out Balearic moments that encourage you to lay back and stare into the sky. As beautiful as it is beguiling, it is a mix that has us very excited for what is to come and proves what a singular talent this man is.

Dekmantel Podcast 115 - Vladimir Ivkovic

Naarm, Melbourne based DJ.
For almost 20 years, James Steer has consistently and unassumingly contributed to the after-hours soundtrack of Melbourne. Well respected within the underground Melbourne DJ community, James has built a reputation as a selector who deftly balances exquisite taste with technical execution. James cut his teeth as one of the founders of the legendary Deep Chord Melbourne parties in the early noughties, showcasing the emerging deep minimal sounds of the time to an eager and receptive audience. The party started off as an intimate affair in the confines of the upstairs space of Pony Bar (later Boney), before finding a true home in the legendary basement space of the Mercat Cross. Since then, James has regularly graced the decks at some of Melbourne’s most iconic nightspots, equally adept at delivering funk and disco laden suppertime soundtracks as heaving excursions into deep dance floor dynamics. Drawing from a vast, genre-defying collection, James’ sets offer the listener/dancer a guided tour through the fundamentals of depth, always evolving and never stagnant, a glimpse into the now, with a respectful nod to what’s come before.
