Now this mix right here is from an extra special guest, one who descended into madness just to curate this debauchery of a selection. A dear friend who truly and deeply understands our love for music.

For those of you who may know, Johan N. Lecander is the Creative Director of DI.FM. And if so, you would definitely know how monumental Digitally Imported has been in it's online electronic music presence over the years, giving many of us our regular routine listening across many channels and from multiple artists who frequently air on those.

It is Johan, who first approved our Chapters, that too at a monthly prime time slot. Every First Friday of the Month from 5.30 - 7pm GMT. That itself, was a landmark for us. Getting our own monthly residency on DI.FM - a station which has inspired us and introduced us to so much talent for more than a decade!

It is also Johan who motivated us to start with the Curates series, earlier than we initially ended to, when lockdown first started last year. Though others greatly dissuaded us to postpone it due to the saturation of online streaming, it wouldn’t have happened without Johan pushing us, and in turn the series. 
And you've all seen the diversity of amazing artists that have curated for us till date. It only made sense that we have him curate for us just before our year mark for this segment.

Furthermore, when pitching our commendable new series in December. An outlet to allow emerging talent to showcase their storytelling, it was Johan that said, "7 monthly radio shows, we've never had that ever before on DI, but hey man, if anyone can handle it and handle it well .. it's you" and thus began our weekly affair with Chronicles Commends.

It's just been slightly over the year mark and we now have 7 monthly radio shows, over 3 series and are extremely privileged to showcase anything and everything that musically touches us, without any creative or genre limitations.

Johan, thank you for all you've done for our Chronicles - the consistent support and encouragement that you selflessly extend. Not just for us, but for many others, as you have been for quite a few years.

So without further ado, it's the man behind the curtain and this time he's going hard! Just as we like it! Ladies and Gentlemen, radio royalty in the mix, the main Curator - my friend - Johan N. Lecander

DI.FM Top 10 Techno Tracks July 2021

Hello There

First issued in 1998 on Superstition Records, Oliver Lieb’s L.S.G. project distilled late-’90s Frankfurt techno/trance into sleek, tightly engineered club tools with arc and atmosphere. The Black Album: The Vinyl Mixes (Remastered) presents the unmixed, original vinyl versions—newly remastered by Lieb—to foreground the detail in his drum programming, weight in the low end and the aerodynamic synth work that made these tracks DJ staples. Across nine pieces you move from the brooding momentum of “The Train Of Thought 1.1” and the nimble pulse of “Go Fishing” to the sinewy churn of “Cellular,” the pressure-valve release of “The Blaxone” and “Rotation,” the taut tension of “88” and “Freakz,” and the endorphin lift of “Hellfire” and “Deep Blue.” L.S.G.’s reputation for trance without cliché has been noted for decades. Lieb’s own note on the remastering underlines the intent: fed “through the finest analogue gear… tweaked to make it sound up to date while the music still is timeless.”
